Chapter 908: How much is the bride price?
All the elders in the room took their seats, and Lu Ye and Mary finally sat together.
"If you have any taboos with your in-laws, you can just say it and I can let the kitchen consider the preparations." Mr. Lu said with a smile.
"Master, you are too polite. We don't have any taboos. We can just do as we please." Lu Aiguo said.
On the scene, everyone looked happy.
Only Mary's biological mother looked stiff and a little unhappy, and Mary's father also didn't smile the whole time.
Although everyone in the Lu family saw it, no one took the initiative to ask why.

I just think it's because I feel bad about getting married to a daughter.
"In that case, let's serve the food, Mother Wu." Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu looked at Mother Wu and said.
"Okay, sir." Wu Ma responded.
Mr. Lu turned his head and glanced at Lu Ye, and then praised him unstintingly in front of everyone: "Xiao Lu is a very outstanding young man. He led a group of little brothers by himself and worked hard step by step until now.
, this perseverance is what I value most.”
"You have really raised a good son."
"Thank you, old man. This kid has been very naughty since he was a child. He doesn't like going to school and often makes trouble everywhere. He gave me and his mother a lot of headaches before."
"But many people also say that Tao's children will be promising when they grow up. My eldest son really lives up to this old saying. We are the only two of us, so we really don't have much credit. This is all because the son has a bright future." Lu
Patriotism is very humble.
"Mr. Lu is really too humble."
Soon, Wu's mother began to serve food one after another, and the two families began to chat while eating.
Basically, the conversation was between the elders of the two families. There were several times when Lu Ye's second and third cousins toasted Lu Xinghe, but Lu Xinghe just tasted it briefly and treated it perfunctorily.

Mr. Lu, on the other hand, drank two more drinks today.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Everyone had almost finished drinking, and then Lu Aiguo asked: "Old man, do you have any requirements regarding the marriage of these two children? We are located in the north, and we are worried that the wedding ceremony will not be consistent with the customs here.
If there is a big discrepancy, please ask in advance.”
Hehehehe...
Mr. Lu has not been so happy for a long time. He drank two more drinks today and his face is a little rosy. Hearing Lu Aiguo's inquiry, Mr. Lu immediately said: "The weddings here are all like those of the foreign devils. They don't go to the wedding hall when they get married. They have to go to the wedding hall."
I don't like going to church and letting their god bless them."
"I originally thought that when I got married to Grandma Yaoyao, I rode a big horse, sat in an eight-carriage sedan, walked as a matchmaker, and tied up the married couple. Now that I think about it, the rules of our ancestors are better.
.”
"The old man has no other thoughts. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see my granddaughter and get married as gloriously as her grandmother did. Old man, I will be satisfied."
Mr. Lu's words made everyone here think about the old man's wedding that year.
Nowadays, people use simple Western-style weddings, even in the north. Traditional weddings are complicated and expensive, so they have gradually been abandoned by people.
After listening to Mr. Lu's words, Mary's eyes turned red.

Mr. Lu was thinking about her. Using such a ceremony was the highest wedding etiquette for the woman.
Mary understood that Mr. Lu was worried that he would be wronged in the future if he married into the Luye family, so he used this method to promote himself.
When Lu Aiguo heard this, he immediately agreed without any hesitation.
"Please rest assured, old man, everything will be done as you said just now. When we get back here, we will start making preparations immediately. We will not do anything that should be done. If there is a good one, we will not choose the second. In short, we will definitely satisfy you.
"
"Haha..., well, with your words, I feel relieved, old man." Mr. Lu said with a smile.
Lu Aiguo raised his glass at this time, looked at Lu Xinghe beside him, and said: "Dad Yaoyao, I want to toast you. Although my son is not as cute and smart as Yaoyao, he is still quite down-to-earth. He is very kind to you."
We parents can also see what Yaoyao is thinking, so please rest assured that when Yaoyao comes into our home, our whole family will definitely treat Yaoyao as our biological daughter and will never let her suffer any injustice."
Lu Xinghe and his wife have been silent and ugly since they sat here meditating.
But they are Mary's biological parents after all, and the Lu family always has to express something.
Lu Aiguo's words were eloquent and heartfelt. Although the old Lu family grew from poverty to wealth, they were not that unruly family.
Just as Liu Meng came into the family, the old couple is also very concerned about him and has never been angry with Liu Meng. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also harmonious.

"Since you said so, let's just believe it for now. It's just that when my daughter gets married, I don't know how much do you plan to give her as a bride price?"
Mary's mother, who had never spoken a word before, asked her how much the bride price was.
This suddenly poured cold water on Mr. Lu's originally good mood.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mr. Lu's expression changed and he said in a deep voice.
"What my mother-in-law said makes sense. We should come over to meet with the in-laws and discuss the bride price." Seeing this, Song Shufen hurriedly spoke to smooth things over.
"As for the bride price, if your mother-in-law has any requirements, just tell her." Song Shufen looked at Mary's mother and said.
"Our Lu family is one of the four major families in Hong Kong City. Now, if your daughter is too shabby to marry, it will make everyone in Hong Kong laugh. We can't afford to lose this person. How much can you give as a bride price? At least
We must be worthy of our status as the daughter of the Lu family, otherwise people outside will say that we, the daughter of the Lu family, are getting married, and the old man’s face will not look good by then." Mary's mother said.
But as soon as these words came out, Mr. Lu became even more angry.
Dang even yelled: "Shut up!"
Mary's mother's words are not good for the Lu family. The underlying meaning of these words is that the Lu family is a wealthy family. If the Lu family wants to marry the daughter of the Lu family, they must have the same strength, otherwise Mary will marry off.

This statement is quite rude.
When Mary heard this, her face was extremely ugly. She also complained quite a lot about her biological mother.
Mary's mother's original name was Li Caifeng, who was named Caifeng without the wings of a Caifeng.
Despite the name, Li Caifeng was not born into a wealthy family, but into a small fishing village in the port city.
When Li Caifeng was young, she didn't read many books. She only recognized all Chinese characters, but she was not blind.
Li Caifeng has been making a living in gambling stalls in fishing villages since she was a child, but she learned the art of cheating.
Later, as she grew older, she became more and more beautiful and attractive, attracting many bad gamblers to take advantage of her. Li Caifeng was also a smart person and knew that it would be difficult to get ahead in a small gambling stall, so she applied for a job and went to the Lu family
Working as a croupier in a casino in Aowan...
At that time, Lu Xinghe, who had just returned from studying abroad, returned home and started handling the family business, often visiting casinos in Aowan.
Li Caifeng met Lu Xinghe several times, and after learning about Lu Xinghe's identity as the prince of the Lu family, she took the initiative.
Lu Xinghe, who had little social experience, was no match for Li Caifeng, and it didn't take long before the two of them rolled into bed.

But Mr. Lu was as shrewd as a ghost and knew that Li Caifeng only wanted to join a wealthy family, and the pheasant wanted to enter the phoenix's nest.
Dang Ji sent someone to force Li Caifeng out of the casino, and grounded Lu Xinghe to prevent the two from meeting.
But no matter what, Lu Xinghe was deeply in love with Li Caifeng and never gave up even if he was banned.
At this time, Li Caifeng took the initiative to find Mr. Lu and took out a pregnancy test report in front of Mr. Lu.
She is pregnant with the blood of the Lu family.
Although Mr. Lu was furious, everyone in the Lu family was ridiculing him at that time. This bloodline was extremely precious to the Lu family.
So Mr. Lu gave in and allowed Li Caifeng and Lu Xinghe to continue dating, but prohibited them from getting married.
Later, Li Caifeng successfully gave birth to a baby girl. Mr. Lu was overjoyed, so he named her Mingyao, took her back to Hong Kong City, and raised her personally.
In exchange, Li Caifeng finally got her wish, married Lu Xinghe, and successfully entered a wealthy family.
However, Mr. Lu took a lot of precautions against it. As of now, all the equity of the Lu family's industry is in Mr. Lu's hands. As the general manager of the casino, Lu Xinghe only has 10% equity dividend rights, and no shares.

Li Caifeng has followed Lu Xinghe these years. Although she has no worries about food and drink and has enough money to spend, she has not gained any assets.
Moreover, Mr. Lu also forbade Mary from seeing Li Caifeng, fearing that Li Caifeng would lead Mary astray.
For so many years, Li Caifeng had a lot of resentment towards Mr. Lu. She and Lu Xinghe were in Aowan and rarely returned to Hong Kong City.
Now that her daughter is about to get married, Li Caifeng knows nothing about Lu Ye and only thinks that Lu Ye is a lucky toad who comes to climb the dragon and follow the phoenix.
Most of the people in the Lu family were dressed simply. Although they were all well-dressed, they did not have any big-name brands. This made Li Caifeng even more sure of her thoughts. In addition, she was unhappy and wanted to compete with Mr. Lu, so she said it on the spot.
