Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 916

Sophie was also stunned.

There will definitely be a dowry, according to her initial estimate, two to three million, no more than five million at most.

Unexpectedly, it doubled right now.

Of course, except for the value of the real estate, Su's equity is all imaginary.

But even so, it was somewhat beyond her expectations.

She knows the Su family better than outsiders. Given the current situation of the Su family, how could she still be able to afford such a large dowry?

Even if Aunt Mei wants to take it, I'm afraid Second Uncle won't agree!

If the guess is correct, this dowry should have been prepared secretly without telling the second uncle, and it may even have been prepared a few years earlier.

Sophie just couldn't figure it out. Some time ago, the company was in turmoil. Wu Mei would rather mortgage the Su's Building than touch these assets. Could it be that she wanted to save her dowry?

Sophie looked over suspiciously.

Aunt Mei rarely looked away.

……

On the other hand, Su Changming's mood was not much better.

Distressed to the point of bleeding, but forced a smile on his face.

Especially the shopping mall, located on Zhongshan Road, has always been under Wu Mei's control, and it has been operating independently in recent years.

Last year's economic situation was not good, and Su's seven stores in Tianzhou closed down three.

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 their stores.

The two that are still profitable include the one on Zhongshan Road.

Su Changming made several suggestions and sent several people to go there.

It's just that there is a monolith over there.

Personnel, finance, everything was firmly in Wu Mei's hands, and he couldn't get involved even if he wanted to!
Some time ago, when Wu Mei abdicated, Su Changming was still thinking about taking the opportunity to take back the mall.

Unexpectedly, Wu Mei changed hands and gave the shopping mall to Sophie as a dowry!
Su Changming was annoyed, the shopping mall was owned by the Su family, what right did Wu Mei have to give it away?
Of course, right now is not the time to tear your face apart, and in front of so many outsiders, he will definitely not reach out and slap himself in the face.

In that case, even if Wu Mei lost face, he would naturally lose face too!

That's why Wu Mei put everything on the bright side, because it was predicted that he would throw a mouse trick!

In the strange atmosphere, Aunt Mei turned and left.

Sophie turned around, took off all the gold utensils on her body, and handed them to Yu Xiaoman for safekeeping.

Dressed in plain clothes, she stretched out her hand to grab Zhao Dong, and said in a low voice, "Come with me!"

Zhao Dong nodded and followed her into a room.

……

In the room, the light is slightly dim.

A portrait and tributes are placed on the wall.

Zhao Dong glanced at it, and his expression became solemn. It should be Sophie's mother.

It can be seen from the appearance that it is very similar to Sophie.

What surprised Zhao Dong was that Mama Su and Aunt Mei were carved out of the same mold, like twin sisters.

Zhao Dong seldom heard Sophie mentioning his parents, and he didn't know much about it.

Seeing that Sophie was silent and obviously depressed, he held Sophie's hand firmly.

Aunt Mei lit a few sticks of fragrance, "Sister, Xiao Fei got married today and is going out soon. I'll let her come and see you."

"If you have a spirit in the sky, you must bless Xiaofei and wish her peace..."

There was still something left to say, Aunt Mei opened her mouth, but held back.

Sophie stepped forward and knelt down on the mat, feeling depressed and her eyes turned red.

Without waiting for Aunt Mei's order, Zhao Dong felt the same feeling, and knelt down with a "plop".

Without the slightest hesitation, he kneeled neatly!
Because there was only one mat, Zhao Dong slammed it on the ground abruptly.

This kneeling was very firm, and Wu Mei was startled when it fell down.

She lit a few more incense sticks, and looked at Zhao Dong with a much softer gaze.

After the worship, Sophie spoke intermittently, "Mom, my daughter is married today, if you can still see her, that would be great..."

Before the words fell, the whole person broke down.

Aunt Mei stepped forward to comfort her, but the two women wept together.

Zhao Dong took a deep breath, his eye circles were reddish, a certain emotion deep in his heart was touched, and the corners of his eyes were sore.

After a while, Sophie calmed down.

Zhao Dong wiped his tears for him, hugged her distressedly, and said in a low voice: "If you want to cry, don't hold 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, "I won't cry anymore, today is my wedding day, I want to be happy!"

As she said that, Sophie grabbed Zhao Dong's hand and forced a smile, "Mom, his name is Zhao Dong. He is the man I chose. He treats me very well and is willing to risk his life to protect me!"

"In the future, don't worry, he won't bully me, and he doesn't dare to bully me."

"In the future, I will come back to see you often..."

As she spoke, Sophie kowtowed respectfully.

Zhao Dong took a deep breath, and changed his words accordingly, "Mom, please rest assured, from now on, I will definitely take good care of Xiaofei."

"I'm not very good at talking, so I only promise you one thing today."

"In this life, mountains are high and rivers are far away, I am willing to use the rest of my life to protect her in Chang'an forever!"

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

Standing up, Sophie said softly, "Zhao Dong, 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 was indeed prepared a long time ago. Before my sister died, I promised her that I would let you get married in a good manner."

"This dowry, even if I prepare it for her."

"You don't have to worry about this side of the family, 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, it can be seen that he is sincere to you, cherish this fate, go quickly."

"I'm a little tired, so I won't go out to see you off."

Sophie stood there for a long while, "Thank you, auntie."

After speaking, she turned to leave.

……

All the processes are completed.

Zhao Dong picked up Sophie and got into the main wedding car.

A best man had long been waiting by the car to open the door for Zhao Dong.

As for the other bridesmaids, they each got into the auxiliary wedding car.

At nine o'clock, the convoy returns!

Aunt Mei stood by the window, slowly closing her eyes, a gratifying smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door behind him.

Su Changming entered without asking, "Wu Mei, what's going on?"

"What right do you have to take out those assets just now as a dowry?"

Wu Mei looked back, her whole body was tough, and she sternly shouted: "Get out!"

Su Changming still wanted to open his mouth.

Wu Mei has already squinted 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 muttered to herself: "Sister, the people of the Su family are really greedy!"
