Chapter 710 The Dowry
"I'm scolding you, what's wrong?" Yu Meilin raised her chin fearlessly and sneered in disdain. "A woman who stole someone else's husband and has a mistress position, if you're not a bitch, then what are you? That year, Yingyi and Zixuan were doing well, but your daughter decided to stick her foot in their relationship. Let me tell you, just based on Wei Xiaoqing's morals alone, it's impossible for me to accept her into our Hou Family!"
And at the end, she added, "Don't even mention Yingyi, anyone else who has anything to do with her will be unlucky. Look at Wei Guowei, what happened in the end. With such morals, I don't believe any man will dare to marry Wei Xiaoqing!"
Jiang Huifang was so angry that her face turned red. Even her eyes became red, like a devil's. She never thought Yu Meilin's mouth could be so poisonous.
It's a hundred times more poisonous than her!
"Ah!" Jiang Huifang shouted angrily. She stood up abruptly and tried to punch Yu Meilin, who was sitting opposite her. She clearly had gone mad.
Wei Xiaoqing immediately grabbed Jiang Huifang. "Mom, what are you doing? We're here to negotiate, not to attack each other!"
"Tch!" Yu Meilin crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked down at the mother-daughter pair. "You came to my house to attack me? That's just great! I wonder how people will react when they find out about this."
"Xiaoqing!" Jiang Huifang was dragged away by Wei Xiaoqing, making her unable to hit Yu Meilin and vent her anger. She felt wronged and was heartbroken as she said, "She can scold me, but I can't allow her to scold you like that!"
Jiang Huifang felt very sorry for Wei Xiaoqing. Even if Yu Meilin agreed to let Wei Xiaoqing marry Hou Yingyi, it didn't mean that Wei Xiaoqing would have a good life in the future.
What mother didn't want the best for her daughter?
What mother didn't want her daughter to be loved by a man in every possible way?
What mother was willing to see her daughter suffer even more after marriage?
Wei Xiaoqing shook her head and waited for Jiang Huifang to calm down before turning to Yu Meilin. "Auntie, I know you don't like me. From the beginning, you've been judgmental and always against me."
Seeing Wei Xiaoqing's kind attitude, Yu Meilin turned her head away in disgust. "You mother-daughter pair really acted so well. To whom are you putting on an act for?"
"No matter what you think of me...." Wei Xiaoqing looked as if she hadn't been scolded by Yu Meilin just now and said kindly, "But please give me five minutes, and let me finish what I want to say. If you still don't agree with me after that, I will leave. I will never bother your family again."
Yu Meilin was about to say something when Hou Shihong raised his hand and stopped her.
In the Hou Family, Yu Meilin always did bad things while Hou Shihong stood by the side, watching coldly. However, the confidence on Wei Xiaoqing's face, as if they would definitely agree with her after she finished speaking, made Hou Shihong extremely interested in what she was going to say.
"Alright, I'll give you five minutes. We are all ears."
Wei Xiaoqing was very pleased with Hou Shihong's attitude. Finally, there was someone who was reasonable within the Hou Family.
She smiled and looked directly into Hou Shihong's eyes. She casually said, "Auntie, uncle, you both know that my father is in prison right now and his company is in my hands.Therefore, if the Hou Family would let me in and marry Yingyi, I am willing to use the company as a dowry. When the company passes to Yingyi, he will have the share."
For Hou Shihong, having Yuan Now as a dowry was like a big cake falling from the sky.
He was a businessman, and everything depended on the interests. Since Wei Xiaoqing had put a delicious cake in front of him, as long as he sacrifices Hou Yingyi, he can take the company for himself.
Yu Meilin saw Hou Shihong's small smile and became uneasy. "What are you thinking about? You are not really going to agree to her request, are you? I heard that she was cheated by someone before, and even if she sells the two buildings, no one dares to buy them. Don't you dare accept this hot potato!"
Hou Shihong glared at Yu Meilin and she immediately closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Hou Shihong smiled warmly at Wei Xiaoqing. "Xiaoqing, don't mind your auntie. She is always like this."
Wei Xiaoqing smiled politely. "But of course. I have always known that auntie is sharp-tongued, but inside she's gentle. She's actually a good person."
Yu Meilin: "..."
Why did she feel so flustered after hearing Wei Xiaoqing's compliment?
Hou Shihong pushed his glasses off the bridge of his nose and confirmed with Wei Xiaoqing again. "Are you really willing to let us take over the company?"
When Wei Xiaoqing heard this, she immediately knew that she had succeeded in getting Hou Shihong's approval. She was genuinely happy. Her face also showed a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.
"After I marry Yingyi, the company is still mine since he became my husband. So what does it matter? It's just an ownership change, I don't mind."
"All right!" Hou Shihong immediately slapped the table and said, "After you have completed the transfer of the shares, you and Yingyi can go and get the certificate."
"Uncle, you have got it wrong." Wei Xiaoqing smirked slyly, "If I transfer Yuan Now to Yingyi before we get married, what if he decides to run away later? If you really want Yuan Now, let Yingyi and I get the certificate first, and then we can discuss the shares' transfer."
Hou Shihong was slightly surprised. He never expected Wei Xiaoqing to have such a brain.
But it was also true that without such a brain, it was impossible for Wei Xiaoqing to put Wei Guowei in prison.
It seemed that Wei Xiaoqing had already planned this well before she came here.
Although Hou Shihong wasn't happy about being tricked by her, he wanted Yuan Now too much.
His company was in the steel business and had always supplied steel to the real estate industry. If he could own a real estate company, he would be able to construct a building with the cheapest raw materials and make a good profit.
After all, Hou Shihong had lived for so long. As soon as Wei Xiaoqing said she was going to use Yuan Now as a dowry, he already had an idea in his heart. He firmly believed that an immature and inexperienced Wei Xiaoqing was no match to a sly old fox like him.
Hou Shihong smiled and asked in a good mood, "Other than this, do you have any other requests?"
"I have one." Wei Xiaoqing suddenly became serious and said word by word. "I want a grand wedding. Even if it's not as grand as Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun, I still want something similar. At the very least, it must not be too different!"
