Chapter 987 - 1028: Conscience Not Lost
"Xinyue..." Li An called out to his daughter, his face full of guilt as he sighed and said, "Daughter, you’re grown up now and it’s time for you to get married. If you keep staying single... the people in the village will gossip."
Looking at her father, Xinyue felt bitter inside. She clearly understood that her stepmother had forced him to broach the subject. Due to her father’s weak personality, he always listened to her stepmother. She could withstand asking for money and not spending it herself to give to them, but this was about her lifelong happiness. Even without Yifei, she would never agree to marry that Cheng Yunlong, who, despite his decent appearance, was nothing but a thug. Being with him would ruin her life.
Xinyue rarely refused her father’s requests, but on this matter, she spoke with utmost firmness, "Dad, I can agree to other things, but not this... I can’t agree to this. You see, I already have a boyfriend and our relationship is strong. I’m going to be with him for life!"
"You child, how can you be so foolish?" At this moment, Wang Xiaohong walked in and immediately expressed her dissatisfaction, "This boy clearly looks like a complete broke, and you are a famous host. How can you be with someone like him?"
Xinyue didn’t even feel like arguing with her stepmother and calmly replied, "I don’t need any conditions. I want someone who can treat me well, and he can do that, so I’m sure I’ll be with him."
Wang Xiaohong’s eyes shifted, then said, "Fine, if you want to marry him, that’s up to you. But according to our village’s traditions, we still need a dowry, right?"
Yifei smiled faintly and said, "How much is the dowry?"
"Look how serious you’re pretending to be. I’ll lay it out for you. Around here, it’s 880,000 yuan in cash and a car worth 300,000 yuan. Do you have that now?"
