Chapter 779: Dowry_1
"Oof..."
He Xiaohui, who had just been hit with a slap across the face, had swollen, red eyes and a trembling nose. The tears of humiliation and pain instantly fell to the ground, and her emotions were on the verge of collapse.
All she wanted was to be with the man she loved, but why was it so difficult?
First, it was her parents who absolutely refused to consent without a higher dowry; now it was Peng Ye’s parents’ turn to humiliate her, even going so far as to offer her money to terminate the pregnancy.
Standing aside, Luo Ning could no longer stand to watch. She stepped in front of her best friend, glaring at Peng Ye’s parents with outrage, "Uncle, Aunt, I am an outsider and it’s not my place to comment, but you are really going too far!"
"Do you realize how much Xiao Hui has tried, just to be with Peng Ye?"
Peng Ye’s mother sneered, pointing at He Xiaohui’s belly, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "Of course I know! She even got pregnant, talk about effort!"
"You!"
Luo Ning was furious. She took a deep breath to calm herself and then said, "Aunt, what do you really want before you would allow Xiao Hui to enter your family?"
Peng Ye’s parents looked at each other and smiled, the former with her arms crossed, teasing, "As my husband said just a moment ago, marriage is about matching social status. Our Peng family might not be extremely wealthy, but we are worth tens of millions."
"I’m not forcing her. As long as she can bring a dowry of fifty million today to our Peng family, I guarantee that we will hold the wedding smoothly for them today!"
