Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

Chapter 191 Dowry 9 9

Zhang Qiuxia and Sun Xiaofei were admiring the red book in Xu Zhihui's hand, both of them were smiling from ear to ear.

Zhang Qiuxia looked at it and said, "It's much prettier than our marriage certificate. Look, this photo is really well taken."

"Yes, Xiaohui is pretty, that's what's important," Sun Xiaofei said with a smile, "My dear, you don't know, my boy used to have a sullen face. This photo shows the happiest time he has ever smiled."

"Really?" Zhang Qiuxia laughed, "Every time I saw Ah Jing, he was smiling, but I've never seen him with a stern face."

"That was after I met Xiaohui."

Sun Xiaofei recounted the story of He Zhijing's past bad face. Xu Zhihui listened and smiled and nodded continuously. She believed that this was something He Zhijing would do.

"However, he is mature now and has a better temper," Sun Xiaofei said, and then quickly took Zhang Qiuxia's hand to clarify, "Don't worry, in-laws, he treats Xiaohui very well. If he dares to treat Xiaohui badly, I will be the first one to not forgive him."

Zhang Qiuxia smiled and said, "Of course I feel relieved, otherwise I wouldn't have entrusted Xiaohui to Ajing. And Xiaohui has such a good mother-in-law like you, I feel so relieved."

Seeing the two mothers getting along very well, surprisingly in tune with each other, how could it be like they were meeting for the first time? Xu Zhihui was very happy. She subconsciously glanced at He Zhijing and thought to herself that He Xiaoer and I were destined to be a family.

Xu Zhihui didn't disturb her mother's chat, and she and He Zhijing accompanied her grandparents and aunt to drink tea and chat.

Grandma He lovingly took Xu Zhihui's hand and asked, "Xiaohui, you and Ajing have discussed the marriage. The wedding will be held on May 15th. What do you think?"

Xu Zhihui blushed slightly, nodded and said, "Okay. Grandma, I plan to hold a wedding with my best sister, and it will be in the An family in Beijing. You don't object, right?"

Grandma He smiled and said, "We know this and of course we have no objection."

"Thank you, grandma."

"Three days later, after Xiaofei has prepared the gifts, she will come to formally offer the betrothal gifts. The He family will definitely not miss out on the necessary ceremonies, and they will be even more grand."

Father Xu said to Xu Zhihui somewhat helplessly: "There is no problem with the betrothal gift ceremony, but the betrothal gift given by my in-laws is too much."

"How much?" Xu Zhihui asked curiously.

Father Xu raised his index finger to form a 9, "Nine nines."

"what?"

Xu Zhihui reacted quickly and was stunned for a moment.

Doesn’t 9 times 9 mean more than 9 million?

This is too exaggerated.

She knew that the He family would give a lot, but she didn't expect it to be so much.

"Grandpa, grandma..." Xu Zhihui closed her mouth in shock, "This is too much."

"It means long-lasting and auspicious, so it's not too much." Grandpa He made the final decision and said with a smile, "Besides, Xiao Jing has donated 100 billion to outsiders, so how can he give less to his own people? If it weren't for the sake of auspiciousness, 100 billion would not be too much."

Grandma also smiled and said, "That's right. The dowry our family gave to your eldest sister-in-law Yingying is also this amount. There's no reason why the two granddaughters-in-law should be different."

Grandma's arguments were so convincing that Xu Zhihui couldn't refute them at all.

Xu Zhihui thought about it and wondered how much dowry her family should give. This was a bit of a headache.

Xu Shan saw what his daughter was thinking and said with a smile, "My parents will give you a dowry. Although it's not much, it's also a token of their love."

"More than 800 million?"

Xu Zhihui's eyes widened. Although the 800 million yuan was not enough compared to the He family's betrothal gift, it was still a lot, okay?

Her family is not wealthy, so there is no need to give so much.

"Dad, you don't have to give me so much." Xu Zhihui was anxious. "Just give me a token of your appreciation. Keep the money you and mom worked so hard to earn for yourself."

He Zhijing was also a little surprised, and hurriedly interrupted to persuade: "Father-in-law, you don't have to give the dowry. Our family just wants to have a good intention. You don't have to do this. I mean you don't have to give so much to my family."

Xu Shan just smiled and said, "Your mother and I are just trying to get some good luck. We can afford it."

Mr. Xu insisted all the time, and Xu Zhihui and He Zhijing stopped trying to persuade him.

The betrothal gifts and dowry had been discussed earlier, and the He family had also advised against it. But Xu's father and mother said that this was a dowry for their daughter, to show their gratitude and to help their daughter. Sun Xiaofei didn't know what to say anymore.

We had lunch at Xu's house at noon. Mr. and Mrs. Xu were busy in the kitchen.

Sun Xiaofei was about to go in to help, but was driven out by Zhang Qiuxia.

So, the Xu family and the He family happily had their first meal together. The He family did not leave until two in the afternoon.

Sun Xiaofei formally invited Mr. and Mrs. Xu to visit the He family mansion in the evening.

Xu Zhihui said she had an appointment with her best friend in the evening, so she wouldn't go.

-

They met at the Little Skylark Restaurant in the evening. When they met, Chen Jiayi brought Guo Qihang with her, but Wang Zhe was not there, which surprised Xu Zhihui.

"Congratulations, Xiao Huihui," Chen Jiayi said jokingly, "You're so quick. Hey, don't forget that you're my bridesmaid. How did you get the marriage certificate already?"

"Oh, yes." Xu Zhihui tapped her head. She got the marriage certificate yesterday in a rush and almost forgot about it. She said, "Mr. He and I will have our wedding in May next year. We are not married yet. Can I be your bridesmaid?"

"Next May? That's fine. I can be a bridesmaid."

Chen Jiayi hugged Xu Zhihui's waist in a funny way and said with a sweet smile: "Xiao Huihui, I'm just teasing you. Although you promised me, I don't mind even if you really get married. Your happiness is the most important thing."

"Xiao Chenchen, you're so nice," Xu Zhihui giggled, "Can I give you a kiss? Mr. Guo doesn't mind, right?"

"No problem," Guo Qihang also smiled, spread his hands, and joked, "I can kiss your Mr. He as compensation."

"No, no, forget it." He Zhijing quickly waved his hand.

"Haha."

Everyone laughed.

Xu Zhihui really kissed Chen Jiayi on the cheek and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be your bridesmaid."

Tang Qiqi also stepped forward and hugged Xu Zhihui, smiling happily, "Ha, Xiao Huihui, congratulations on your marriage to Master He. Do you have the red book with you? I want to take a look."

Xu Zhihui rolled her eyes at her. "Xiao Qiqi, you are such a fool. Why do you need a marriage certificate when you go out to eat? If you want to see it, I'll bring it to you next time."

However, Xu Zhihui noticed that Tang Qiqi had a slightly sad look on her face, and her heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Xiao Qiqi, where is your Wang Zhe? Didn't he come?"

Tang Qiqi smiled faintly, trying to be nonchalant, "I didn't ask him to come."

"Didn't you call him?"

"Ah."

Xu Zhihui looked at Chen Jiayi, her eyes asking, what's wrong?

Chen Jiayi shrugged and looked back at her, saying, I don’t know.

The meal was simple, mainly just chatting. He Zhijing and Guo Qihang talked about business matters. The two had met several times and were already quite familiar with each other.

Three women chatting about their own things.

Xu Zhihui looked at the faint sadness on Tang Qiqi's face, which made people feel distressed, so she asked her directly: "Qiqi, are you angry with Wang Zhe?"

Tang Qiqi sighed, resting her chin on the table, "Xiao Huihui, I don't think he and I are a good match. I need to think about it, or maybe just forget it."

Xu Zhihui and Chen Jiayi asked at the same time: "What's going on? Wang Zhe is such a good man."
