Chapter 103 I Want the Dowry from My Mother
Wang Qingwan was not greedy for how valuable the jade bracelet was, nor was it a priceless treasure. She just couldn't stand Shang Zixuan giving all the good things to Yan Liang.
Is it that just because she is her biological daughter and I am her adopted daughter, I should treat her differently?
If Yan Liang had died long ago, Shang Zixuan would never have been able to find her daughter. Aren’t all these for her?
A daughter who was raised from swaddling clothes could not defeat the bond of blood?
The more Wang Qingwan thought about it, the more dissatisfied she felt, and she became obsessed with getting the jade bracelet.
By the way, Shang Zixuan still has 1% of the shares, which will definitely be obtained by Yan Liang in the end.
Wang Qingwan's eyes darkened. She bit her lips lightly, suppressed the curse that was about to come out of her mouth, forced out a cold smile, bent her fingers and knocked on the door: "Mom!"
Then he pushed the door open and put the tray on the long wooden desk: "I see you are not full, so I brought some dishes over, and we can eat together."
Shang Zixuan hung up the phone. Seeing Wang Qingwan being so well-behaved, she smiled with relief: "Good! You are thoughtful. You will be married in a few days. Although we are not far away, we will not have many opportunities to eat together."
"Mom, why do you say that?" Wang Qingwan handed the chopsticks to Shang Zixuan and said with a scolding smile, "Whenever you want to have dinner with your daughter, just call me. I'll be there in five minutes!"
Shang Zixuan laughed out loud: "You are such a sweet-talker!"
"Mom, as long as you don't find me annoying, I'll come back every day to accompany you, okay?" Wang Qingwan didn't even eat. She leaned into Shang Zixuan's arms and started to act coquettishly.
Shang Zixuan gently stroked her cheek and sighed softly: "How can a married daughter run back to her parents' home all day? Even if Jianxi doesn't say anything, his family will definitely gossip about it. As long as you live a happy life, Mom will feel at ease."
"What era is this? Can you still restrict your marriage from going back to your parents' home?" Wang Qingwan pouted in dissatisfaction, and rolled her eyes. "Mom, my daughter is getting married. What dowry are you going to give her?"
Shang Zixuan's expression froze: "Didn't your father give you a two million car and three villas?"
Wang Qingwan twisted her body in Shang Zixuan's arms, her voice becoming more coquettish: "That's Daddy's, Mom. I want you to give it to me alone. No matter what you give me, I will put it in my bedroom alone. I will take it out and look at it when I have nothing to do, so that I can feel my mother's love."
Shang Zixuan's expression became serious. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "Mom really doesn't have anything to give you, except..."
Wang Qingwan stared at her with burning eyes.
"No, I really can't." Shang Zixuan dismissed the idea that had just occurred to her, "That must be given to your sister."
Wang Qingwan's face instantly fell, and she pulled away from Shang Zixuan's arms: "Mom, is Yan Liang the only one in your heart? Am I not your daughter? You raised me for twenty-seven years, from a baby in swaddling clothes to this age, how come I am not as good as your biological daughter?"
"Is blood relationship so important?" She said this and started crying aggrievedly.
Shang Zixuan's face was full of apology, and she hurriedly coaxed her: "Good child, don't cry, dear! In my mother's heart, you and Yan Liang are the same, but that jade bracelet was left to me by my mother. She told me to pass it on to my daughter if I have one, and to tell her later if I don't have one."
Wang Qingwan knew what she meant. Now she had a daughter, a biological daughter. As an adopted daughter, she was naturally not the first in line for inheritance.
No matter how much Shang Zixuan cheated, she would never give in. Wang Qingwan felt cold in her heart, but she smiled understandingly: "I understand, Mom, please don't make it difficult for me, I don't want it anymore."
Shang Zixuan felt distressed when she heard this. She held Wang Qingwan in her arms and patted her shoulder gently: "Mom was inconsiderate. I should have given you a separate dowry. How about this, I will transfer the shares in my hands to your name."
"Really?" Wang Qingwan asked in surprise, but soon her face darkened again, "No, if mom gives me the shares, you will have no money."
"How can I have no money? I don't usually have much to spend, and I usually use the card your dad gave me. Don't worry, it's not much, but it's a little gift from mom."
Wang Qingwan's worry turned into joy: "Okay, then I won't be polite to mom. Don't worry, I will support you in the future!"
Shang Zixuan laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and poked Wang Qingwan on the forehead: "I still need you to support me!"
The mother and daughter ate their meal happily. The moment Wang Qingwan took the tray and dishes out of the bedroom, her face, which was sore from smiling, suddenly fell.
As usual, Shen Jianxi returned to his old house to celebrate this Mid-Autumn Festival.
Although it was a routine, this was actually the first time in seven years that he had returned to his old house to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival.
During the years of my disability, I spent time with Yan Liang in Zijin Garden, which was very lonely.
There are a lot of people here tonight. In addition to the old man, there are Shen Jiaxuan, Shen Jiannan and his son, all men. Shen Jianxi feels lonelier than ever before.
If he wanted female guests, Shen Jiaxuan could bring back a whole camp. Shen Gufeng had given him a strict order in advance: No women were allowed to come except himself, as this was a family dinner, not a social gathering!
Shao Qianmin and Shen Jiannan haven't gotten married yet, so naturally they won't come.
"Dad, please don't look at me with disdain," Shen Jiaxuan pursed his lips and whistled, walking in a nonchalant manner, "Next year you will have two granddaughters-in-law, and you won't have to worry about not having women at the family banquet."
Shen Gufeng snorted and sat at the head of the table with the help of his crutch.
The family dinner was held in a small pavilion with four corners next to the stone bridge in the yard, facing the artificial lake. Tonight, the wind was clear and the moon was bright, and the temperature was just right. It was a special enjoyment for the whole family to gather together to appreciate the moon.
However, Shen Gufeng felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. It was the same in previous years. This year, Shen Jianxi was even added. He should be happy, but he felt like something was blocking his heart and felt uncomfortable.
He attributed this to the recent events that happened to the Wang family. In order to minimize the losses of the Wang family, he tried many ways and connections to help them. Except for not paying any money, he gave all the help he should give.
Anyway, the Wang family is not short of money, so he just needs to find a suitable person for Wang Kaiye and he doesn't care about the rest.
The marriage of Shen Jianxi and Wang Qingwan is imminent. From now on, the Shen family and the Wang family are like grasshoppers on the same rope, rising and falling together.
Especially since Shen Jianxi was in a critical starting period, he was even more dependent on the financial support of the Wang family.
He refused to admit that he was impatient, so he forcibly drove Yan Liang away and chose Wang Qingwan. As a result, fate played a joke on him. Yan Liang was the real daughter of the Wang family, but he was blind and abandoned the pearl and chose the fish eye.
When I think of this, I feel so upset.
But he would not show it in front of Shen Jianxi, and even in his heart he refused to admit his mistake, and only blamed fate.
"Jianxi, how are the wedding preparations going?" Shen Gufeng asked calmly after the first round of toasts.
Shen Jianxi's face was as gloomy as water, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Everything is ready, Grandpa, don't worry."
"Tsk! Jianxi, you are going to be a groom, why do you look so unhappy?" Shen Jiaxuan picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it, looking at Shen Jianxi with glee.
What a joke! Shen Gufeng gave him a disgusted look.
