Chapter 91 Sky-high Betrothal Gift
Jiang Minglang looked at Ding Qingxiu's aggrieved look, and his male chauvinism took over, making him even angrier.

He stood up suddenly, and Qiao Yudi had no time to stop him. Jiang Minglang said violently, "Asshole."

"She is your elder, and you actually called her a nobody. You are worse than pigs and dogs."

Jiang Minglang shouted these words suddenly, Old Mrs. Chu frowned, and Chu Jingyan glared at him fiercely.

Meng Qingyi, on the other hand, looked calm, as if it didn't affect her at all. After all, she had heard these words a hundred times, if not a thousand times.

"Minglang, sit down." Qiao Yudi said loudly.

Jiang Minglang looked at Qiao Yudi angrily, "Mom?"

Qiao Yudi winked at him, and he immediately sat back on the sofa in frustration.

Jiang Minglang just looked at Meng Qingyi fiercely, and Ding Qingxiu just gritted his teeth, pursed his lips, and shook his head as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Qiao Yudi sighed and said with a sad face, "Yiyi, I understand that you have resentment in your heart, but she is your stepmother after all, you still have to be polite to her."

"Stepmother, she's so nice!"

"When she climbed into her best friend's husband's bed behind her best friend's back, she should have thought about not being respected by others." Meng Qingyi said coldly with an indifferent expression.

"Now she wants to replace my mom and become my child's grandmother. How can she be so arrogant?"

"Sister, my mother didn't mean that. After all, the child should call my mother grandma." Jiang Zhilan stood up.

Meng Qingyi snorted coldly, "Is it that you have a bad memory, or is it that a dog can't change its eating habits?"

"You don't remember anything you said when you kicked me out five years ago?"

"From that day on, I am no longer a member of your Jiang family."

"You are my daughter and I am your father. This is a fact that can never be changed." Jiang Minglang said firmly, "Even if you deny it, legally you are still my daughter!"

Meng Qingyi smiled coldly, "You were the ones who disowned me in the beginning, but now you are rushing to me. I know what you are planning."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Gu Weiqing stepped out to smooth things over, "Yiyi, it's been several years since the incident. Auntie knows that you've been wronged all these years. Isn't that why your grandma and dad wanted to take you home as soon as possible?"

"Those words back then were just angry words. There's no such thing as overnight hatred among family members. After all, your father's blood is still flowing in your veins."

Meng Qingyi raised her eyebrows. Gu Weiqing was indeed a man who had been immersed in the business world for many years. His polite words were really beautiful.

She was young and ignorant before, and suffered a lot at her hands. Now she thinks it was really stupid.

Chu Jingyan listened to Gu Weiqing's words without any reaction. He just said coldly, "I wonder what brings you here today?"

"Jingyan, do you mind if I call you that because I'm taking advantage of your seniority?" Qiao Yudi said.

Chu Jingyan didn't respond. She continued to talk to herself, "You and Yiyi are already married, but our two families haven't met yet, right?"

"We came to your house to recognize your relatives because we thought you were busy, didn't we?"

Chu Jingyan looked over, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Since you've already seen it, please go back!"

Qiao Yudi choked for a moment, then laughed and said, "You and Yiyi haven't had a wedding yet, right?"

"In my opinion, it would be better for you to choose a date as soon as possible and announce it to the world."

"If you are busy, our Jiang family can take full charge of arranging the wedding. After all, Yiyi is our Jiang family's daughter." Chu Jingyan held Meng Qingyi's hand and smiled coldly, "Don't worry about it, Madam Jiang. After all, I am marrying the daughter of the Meng family, not the daughter of your Jiang family."

Qiao Yudi froze. "Look at what you said. Isn't Yiyi the daughter of our Jiang family?"

"Or do you just not want to acknowledge us poor relatives? After all, your Chu family is wealthy and powerful, while our Jiang family is in danger." Qiao Yudi is used to using moral blackmail.

Chu Jingyan's eyes changed and he snorted coldly, "I don't buy it, please go back."

Seeing that the two of them were not willing to give in to any persuasion, Jiang Minglang did not want to give in. "Madam Chu, are you going to let your grandson treat his father-in-law like this?"

"Even if she doesn't recognize me, no one can change the fact that I am the one who gave birth to her and raised her."

"You married someone else's daughter without telling anyone. You didn't even pay any betrothal gifts or compensation for changing your name. You just wanted to get a wife for free. Isn't that unreasonable?"

"I understand. You've gone through so much trouble just for money?" Meng Qingyi sneered.

"I have no objection to you giving birth to me, but have you ever fulfilled your fatherly responsibilities since I was born?"

"If my mother hadn't taken care of me for the past twenty years, would I have grown up like this?"

"Now, you still have the nerve to ask for a betrothal gift?"

"Even if I never raised you, you are legally obligated to support me." Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Jiang Minglang started to play dirty, "If you don't give me money, I will sue you in court."

So, what we fear most is people who have no shame. Look at Jiang Minglang’s smug face.

"Then go to court and see who the court supports!" Meng Qingyi said.

"As for the bride price, that's easy to talk about." Chu Jingyan glanced at everyone, "After all, Yiyi and I are inseparable. All the property under my name has long been transferred to her. I just work for her."

"Is Mr. Jiang satisfied with this betrothal gift?" Chu Jingyan glared at Jiang Minglang.

Jiang Minglang was stunned. Anyway, the matter of bride price is all about mutual consent. Chu Jingyan has transferred all his property to Meng Qingyi. What else can he say?

It is extremely difficult to get Meng Qingyi to pay the money.

"We are about to have dinner. We haven't prepared anything for you. Please help yourself." Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, please show us around."

……

The group walked out of the Chu family dejectedly. Qiao Yudi looked grim and her blood pressure had risen a lot. Jiang Zhilan supported her.

"Go to the hospital to find her some other day and tell her that we are willing to take her back." Qiao Yudi said to Jiang Minglang, "As long as she can return to the Jiang family, we can agree to any conditions she wants."

Even though Jiang Zhilan tightened his hand around the old lady, a hint of hatred emerged in his eyes. Now that Meng Qingyi has returned to the Jiang family, what status does she still have?

"What if she wants the Jiang family's shares?"

"After all, she has always had it in her mind." Jiang Minglang said gritting his teeth.

"Then give it to her. As long as we recognize her, we Jiang's family will benefit from it in the future!" Qiao Yudi vowed.

When no one was paying attention, Ding Qingxiu and Jiang Zhilan looked at each other with viciousness in their eyes. The old lady wanted to get rid of her!

Gu Weiqing did not participate in their conversation, but she had another plan in mind. After all, it was agreed that as long as Jiang Zhilan married into their family, the Jiang family would give her 5% of the shares as a dowry.
