There will definitely be a dowry. According to her initial estimate, it will be two to three million, and no more than five million at most.
Unexpectedly, the amount has doubled now.
Of course, except for the real estate value, Su's equity is all virtual.
But even so, it was somewhat beyond her expectations.
She knows the Su family better than outsiders. With the current situation of the Su family, how can it be possible for her to get such a large dowry?
Even if Aunt Mei wants to take it, I'm afraid my second uncle won't agree!
If the guess is correct, this dowry should have been secretly prepared without telling the second uncle, or it might even have been prepared a few years ago.
Sophie just couldn't figure it out. The company was in turmoil some time ago. Wu Mei would rather mortgage the Su's Building than touch these assets. Is it just to save her dowry?
Sophie looked over suspiciously.
Aunt Mei rarely looked away.
…
On the other side, Su Changming's mood was not much better.
My heart aches to the point of bleeding, but I have to force a smile on my face.
Especially that shopping mall, located on Zhongshan Road, has always been under Wu Mei's control and has been operated independently in recent years.
Last year, due to the poor economic situation, Su's closed three of its seven stores in Tianzhou.
Of the remaining four stores, only two are profitable.
Two of them have been unable to make ends meet since the beginning of the year and are on the verge of closing.
The two companies that are still profitable include the one on Zhongshan Road.
Su Changming made several decisions and sent a few men there.
It's just that it's all monolithic over there.
Personnel and finance are all firmly in Wu Mei's hands, and he can't get in even if he wants to!
Wu Mei abdicated some time ago, and Su Changming was still thinking about taking the opportunity to take back this shopping mall.
Unexpectedly, Wu Mei changed hands and gave the shopping mall to Sophie as a dowry!
Su Changming was angry. The shopping mall was the property of the Su family. What right did she, Wu Mei, have to give it away?
Of course, now is not the time to quarrel, and in front of so many outsiders, he will definitely not reach out and slap himself in the face.
That way, even if Wu Mei loses face, he will naturally lose face too!
That's why Wu Mei put everything out there because she was sure that he would throw a tantrum!
In the weird atmosphere, Aunt Mei turned and left.
Sophie turned around, took off all the gold objects on her body, and gave them to Yu Xiaoman for safekeeping.
Dressed in plain clothes, she reached out to hold Zhao Dong and said in a low voice: "Follow me!"
Zhao Dong nodded and followed her into a room one after another.
…
In the room, the light is slightly dark.
There is a portrait and tributes placed on the wall.
Zhao Dong took a look and his expression became solemn. It should be Sophie's mother.
You can tell from her appearance that she is very similar to Sophie.
What surprised Zhao Dong was that Mother Su and Aunt Mei were carved from the same mold, like twin sisters.
Zhao Dong rarely heard Sophie mention her parents, and didn't know much about them.
Seeing that Sophie was silent and obviously depressed, he held Sophie's hand firmly.
Aunt Mei lit a few sticks of incense and said, "Sister, Xiaofei is getting married today and will be leaving soon. I asked her to come over and see you."
"If you have a spirit in heaven, you must bless Xiaofei and wish her peace..."
There were still more words to say, so Aunt Mei opened her mouth, but then held back.
Sophie stepped forward and knelt down on the mat, feeling depressed and her eyes red.
Without waiting for Aunt Mei's instructions, Zhao Dong felt the same and knelt down with a "plop".
Without any hesitation, he knelt down neatly!
Because there was only one cushion, Zhao Dong's side was hit hard on the ground.
The kneeling was very strong this time, and Wu Mei was shocked when she hit it.
She lit a few more sticks of incense and looked at Zhao Dong with a much softer look.
After the worship, Sophie spoke intermittently, "Mom, my daughter is getting married today. It would be great if you could still see her..."
Before he finished speaking, his whole person collapsed and made a sound.
Aunt Mei stepped forward to comfort her, but the two women burst into tears.
Zhao Dong took a deep breath, his eye circles were slightly red, some emotion deep in his heart was touched, and the corners of his eyes were sour.
After a while, Sophie finally calmed down.
Zhao Dong wiped his tears, hugged her distressedly, and said in a low voice: "If you want to cry, don't hold it back. Lie in my arms and cry for a while."
Sophie leaned in Zhao Dong's arms and her mood gradually returned to normal.
She sat up again and said, "I won't cry anymore. Today is my wedding day, and I want to be happy!"
Saying that, Sophie grabbed Zhao Dong's hand and said with a forced smile: "Mom, his name is Zhao Dong, he is the man I chose, he is very kind to me, he is willing to risk his life to protect me!"
"Don't worry in the future, he won't bully me, and he won't dare to bully me."
"I will come back to see you often in the future..."
After saying that, Sophie kowtowed respectfully.
Zhao Dong took a deep breath and changed his words, "Mom, please don't worry. From now on, I will definitely take good care of Xiaofei."
"I'm not very good at talking, so I only have one promise to make to you today."
"In this life, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. I am willing to spend the rest of my life protecting her forever!"
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.
After getting up, Sophie said softly: "Zhao Dong, please wait for me outside the door for a while. I have something to say."
When Zhao Dong left, she turned to look at Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei stood by the window, "I know what you want to ask."
"The dowry has indeed been prepared a long time ago. Before my sister died, I promised her that I would let you marry in a glorious way."
"This dowry is considered to be prepared by me for her."
"You don't have to worry about this at home, I'll take care of your second uncle's side."
"Today, you just need to be your bride, don't ask anything else."
"Okay, the time is coming, don't delay, Zhao Dong is still waiting outside."
"Although I still don't like him, I can see that he is sincere to you. Cherish this fate and go."
"I'm a little tired, so I won't go out to see you off."
Sophie stood there for a long time and said, "Auntie, thank you."
After saying that, she turned and left.
…
All processes are completed.
Zhao Dong picked up Sophie and got directly into the wedding car.
There was already a groomsman waiting by the car, who opened the door for Zhao Dong.
As for the other bridesmaids, they each got into the wedding car.
At nine o'clock sharp, the convoy returns!
Aunt Mei stood by the window, slowly closed her eyes, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door behind me.
Su Changming came in uninvited, "Wu Mei, what's going on?"
"What right do you have to use those assets as dowry?"
Wu Mei looked back, with a strong aura, and shouted: "Get out!"
Su Changming still wanted to open his mouth.
Wu Mei had already narrowed her eyes, "If you want to quarrel, go to the study and wait for me. I don't want to embarrass you in front of my sister!"
Su Changming sneered, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Wu Mei rubbed her forehead and murmured to herself: "Sister, these people from the Su family are really greedy!"
