"Exactly," Mother Su also said indignantly, "Our Pingping is a college graduate! There is no one more outstanding and beautiful than our Pingping for miles around. You’re forty already, our Pingping is only thirty. You’re ten years older than our Pingping, our girl is precious, and you should give more dowry. You’re refusing everything; how do you expect us to marry off our daughter to you?"
Wei Hanting stood up, "Since we can’t co to an agreent, I don’t think there’s any need to continue talking."
"No need to talk then!" Father Su angrily walked over to Su Wanping and grabbed her arm, "Listen to this, listen to what kind of person you’ve found? Your mother and I worked hard to put you through college, not for soone else’s benefit! We’ve raised you with great effort, and he doesn’t want to give anything but wants to take my grown daughter for free. Where in the world does sothing like that exist?"
"Right, Pingping, let’s go!" Mother Su also went over to Su Wanping and took her hand, "Pingping, let’s go ho. We’re breaking off this engagent, and from now on your mom and dad will find you soone better!"
"Dad, Mom, don’t be like this!" Tears flooded out of Su Wanping’s eyes as she cried and broke free from their grasp.
Sothing better?
What does better an?
To her parents, the one who offers more dowry is the best!
No matter how good Wei Hanting’s conditions are, if they can’t benefit from him, then he is worth nothing in their eyes.
In her parents’ eyes, she was like a goose that lays golden eggs.
Her parents hoped to use her marriage to secure jobs and wives for her brothers.
But who would think about her?
She cried as she pushed Father Su and Mother Su away and grabbed Wei Hanting’s arm, "Dad, Mom, I love Brother Ting, I can’t be separated from him. Nineteen thousand eight hundred as a dowry is not little. I beg you, don’t pressure Brother Ting anymore. I promise you, in the future when I earn money, I’ll give it all to you, I’m willing to support you in your old age. Isn’t that enough?"
"Then what about your brothers’ marriages?" Father Su said angrily, "Your brothers are getting older, and if they don’t get married soon, they’ll remain bachelors for life. Your brothers have always doted on you, are you really willing to let them be unable to marry for the rest of their lives?"
"I’ll find a way," Su Wanping said through tears, "Dad, Mom, I’m begging you, I love Brother Ting, please don’t separate from him. I promise I’ll find a way for Second Brother and little brother’s marriages, I’m begging you!"
"You find a way?" Father Su snapped angrily, "What way can you think of? If you could think of a way, your Second Brother and little brother would have been married with wives by now. Why would it have to wait until now?"
"Yes, I’d like to ask too, what way can Miss Su think of?" Gu Junzhu lounged lazily against the back of the chair, with a slight smile at the corner of his lips, and looked at Su Wanping, "Could it be that Miss Su plans to use a delaying tactic, first sweet-talking my Brother Ting into marrying you, and then slowly persuading him to agree after marriage?"
Su Wanping’s body suddenly stiffened.
She looked at Gu Junzhu in disbelief.
This person, how could he talk like this?
Gu Junzhu unabashedly t her gaze and smiled slightly, "Miss Su, if you truly have such thoughts, I advise you to dispel them completely. My Brother Ting is a man of his word. If he doesn’t agree now, even if you marry him and persuade him afterward, he still won’t agree."
"Exactly," Senior Gu said with a stern face, "Abuse of power—if he dares to agree, I’ll break his leg."
