Chapter 270: The Dowry Cannot Be Withheld
Chapter 270 The Dowry Must Be Provided
Observing the dowry list that Gu Dongxing took out, Ye Sheng shook his hand at his daughter: "Stop it."
Only then did he say to Gu Dongxing: "Fine, I agree, I’ll hand over Ye Qing’s dowry to you."
Gu Dongxing shook his head: "Not to me, but to Ye Qing!"
Ye Sheng, however, hesitated.
By passing the dowry to Gu Dongxing, if he took his daughter’s dowry, he would have to marry her. But if it was only given to Ye Qing, it meant that Gu Dongxing had no intention of marrying his daughter at all.
He wanted to give his daughter to Gu Dongxing in a proper and legitimate way. Otherwise, others might think that he was abandoning his own daughter.
Ye Rushui really wanted to say: You promise to take care of Ye Qing, the dowry of Qing’s deceased mother goes to Ye Qing, it’s still going to you.
But she knew that if she said it, she would have no chance with Gu Dongxing at all.
Her eyes were fixed on the dowry list, and in her heart, she wished she could tear the dowry list to shreds.
But she also knew that this dowry list was just a photocopy, the original was still in Gu Dongxing’s possession!
Just because Ye Qing had this dowry, Gu Dongxing was actually willing to take in such a physically broken and barren piece of trash!
Her heart was filled with towering rage, if she was destined not to get Gu Dongxing, and had to let Ye Qing have him, she’d rather give him to Jiang Mengyu!
No, Jiang Mengyu also could not have him, she was not worthy of Gu Dongxing, she would rather Gu Dongxing marry a stranger!
Gu Dongxing saw her expression and knew her thoughts; a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Originally not wanting to explain, but after thinking it over, he explained a bit: "I have my own factory, my fiancée also has enough money, I won’t use a penny from Ye Qing.
However, as you all know about Ye Qing’s current health situation, I will spend money to hire experts to diagnose and treat her. She does not have a congenital progeria syndrome, medicine has advanced nowadays, I believe there’s always a cure. But the treatment, I estimate, would cost a considerable amount of money."
Ye Rushui, upon hearing this, remembered Jiang Mengyu purposefully flaunting her wealth in front of him, suddenly felt unable to save face: "Your fiancée is not a nouveau riche; that time, she even deliberately played with gold bars, her whole body reeked of copper.
To treat Ye Qing, why not have her spend the money?"
Gu Ming was surprised: "Your little girlfriend is very rich?"
Gu Dongxing was stern-faced: "Her mom works at the Hope Garden, with an annual income of over one hundred thousand." He thought for a moment and then said: "Reportedly, the owner of Hope Garden can casually take out a pill and auction it in Xiangjiang for over a billion."
He wouldn’t speak of the fact that Mengyu took the treasure box her foster mother had schemed for. But to explain the future source of the money, he purposefully drew everyone’s attention to her mother.
After all, using parents’ money, no one could have anything to say about it.
Of course, he also implied that he did not care at all for the little things Ye Qing had.
Upon hearing this, Ye Rushui was immediately startled: "Such miraculous pills, have they given you any?"
Gu Dongxing saw the inquisitive gaze from Ye Sheng and directly stated: "Mengyu’s mother gave me a Yuan Nourishing Pill."
In reality, the Yuan Nourishing Pill was given by Mengyu, along with those other miraculous Divine Medicines.
But he didn’t want others to set their eyes on Mengyu, so he let Mengyu’s mother take the responsibility.
He didn’t know about Mengyu’s mother, but the woman Mengyu’s mother followed, he felt, was very powerful. Anyone who dared to have designs on her was courting death.
As expected, hearing that Mengyu’s mother had given him a Yuan Nourishing Pill, Ye Sheng and Gu Ming’s eyes inevitably lit up. They had heard from others that to cure his daughter, a Yuan Nourishing Pill would be best.
