Chapter 74 This is the dowry
Zhang Hongchou obviously didn't expect his father to apologize to him suddenly. He was stunned for a moment before shook his head: "Dad, it's not your fault for this matter. When you agreed to this marriage, you also asked me for my opinion. I agreed and you agreed."
"Okay, the matter has passed, is it meaningful to still be confused about whose question is this?" Li Zhiyao finally spoke out: "Anyway, it's done this today to let the Liu family know that our Zhang family is not the place where they have always let the tantrums. Over the years, we have endured them enough."
Seeing Li Zhiyao getting angry, Long Chengxuan said lightly: "Auntie, don't worry, they dare to come in the future, I dare to arrest you! I want to see how many people in their family are arrested for me!" He dared to scold the woman he liked and her family like this. If he didn't get angry, he wouldn't be the prince Long in everyone's eyes.
"As for uncles, you don't have to pay attention to them anymore. If they dare to make trouble, you can let the security guard coax them out. If they are still so ungrateful, leave it to me to deal with it."
Over the years, Zhang Hanyu has thought about dealing with these things, but Zhang Xiaomo's business has been divided into too much energy in the company and family, and he feels guilty, so he has been tolerating it like this. He didn't expect that his tolerance would become what he is today. It would be fake to say that he has no temper in his heart, but it does not mean that this matter requires the strength of others: "No need, I can't handle this little thing, so I'm really old."
"Nonsense, Dad, you are not old!" Zhang Xiaomo choked directly, which made everyone stunned and then laughed. I haven't heard Zhang Xiaomo choke like this for several years, and everyone really misses this feeling.
However, although Zhang Xiaomo came back yesterday, they began to discover that there were many changes in her. She no longer acted like she used to be, no longer laughed like she used to be, and even no longer as lively as before. What has she experienced in the past three years?
Zhang Hanyu and Li Zhiyao actually wanted to ask Long Chengxuan, but thinking about what they said last night that they had known each other for less than two months. It is estimated that Long Chengxuan didn’t know what Zhang Xiaomo looked like two months ago, right?
When Zhang Hanyu thought of the baby daughter who had been pampered by everyone, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He coughed lightly: "Well, Cheng Xuan, come with me to the study!"
"Dad, I..."
"Xiao Moguai, mom bought you two clothes today, come and try it!" Seeing that his daughter wanted to follow, Li Zhiyao grabbed her: "Don't worry, your dad won't eat Cheng Xuan's. And, do you really think that your dad is Cheng Xuan's opponent?"
Zhang Xiaomo thought, right, Long Chengxuan is the famous Prince Long. Although his father is very powerful, it seems to be on the same level as this Prince Long: "I hope my father won't be beaten!"
Hearing this, Li Zhiyao reached out and patted her head: "No big or small! Why do you say your dad?"
Covering his head, Zhang Xiaomo smiled and went back to her own room with his mother to try on clothes.
In the study, Zhang Hanyu and Long Chengxuan sat face to face. He looked at the young and handsome young man in front of him, and then said: "I can't say something in front of Xiao Mo, so I asked you to come over and say it alone."
"Uncle, please tell me!"
Seeing Long Chengxuan, who was impeccable in behavior, he sighed lightly: "If someone else had a fancy to Xiao Mo, as long as she liked him and had a good character, I would not object. Not only would I not object, but I would also be grateful to the other party because of him, so Xiao Mo went home."
"But I can't do it? I want to know the reason." Long Chengxuan looked at Zhang Hanyu, and seemed to have understood the answer in his heart: "Because I am Long Chengxuan?"
Zhang Hanyu nodded: "Although the Zhang family's money is not very much, it is enough for my two children to live a life without worries. It is no exaggeration to say that even if they don't marry for the rest of their lives, I can let them live a very comfortable life until they grow old. Therefore, I only care about the other person's character and don't mind anything else. But... in my plan, there is no family like the Long family."
Seeing that the other party was talking so clearly, Long Chengxuan nodded: "I roughly understand what you meant by uncle. Because the Long family belongs to a wealthy family, there will inevitably be some fighting. Are you afraid that Xiao Mo is simple-minded and I am not at home for many years, and no one will protect her if she is bullied?"
Zhang Hanyu nodded: "Yes!"
After getting this answer, Long Chengxuan felt relieved: "Uncle, I will briefly introduce the structure of my family to you. First of all, my grandfather is still alive, and no one dares to violate the rules of the orderly nature of the family. Secondly, since my younger brother and I were born, the gifts given to us by our elders were directly classified into our names. In law, no one can take advantage of this. After Xiao Mo and I marry, I will transfer all my property to her name."
After seeing the other party's unexpected expression, he continued: "I don't know how much uncle knows me. What I want to say is that my mother is good at economic operations, and her style was passed on to our two brothers when we were very young. Now our wealth may be a little more than the Long family's own wealth. If we only consider this aspect, uncle doesn't have to worry."
"In addition, although my uncle and aunt have also left my family, shortly after we were born, my father gave Longteng Industrial to my uncle. He is now powerless, so he won't compete with us. As for my aunt, she is already married, and her interest is painting. She has never lacked money at home, and she has no idea. Finally, I took a step back and said that with my financial management ability, even with my half-year salary, I can buy a house for Xiao Mo in the imperial capital."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked at Zhang Hanyu and smiled: "Of course, if there really is one day, I would suggest that uncle, you invest in funds and we will share half of our interests."
"But your brother..."
When talking about his younger brother, Long Chengxuan's smile even more: "Xiao Ang has had a very good relationship with me since he was a child, and our two training directions are different. Everything he does is complementary to me without any conflict. Moreover, I said that my mother has the final say in my family. She likes Xiao Mo very much."
Zhang Hanyu opened his mouth again, but found that he didn't know what to say. Because what he was worried about had been said by Long Chengxuan.
Zhang Hanyu still agrees with Long Chengxuan's character, and he has put all the situation at home on the table to explain it clearly. Then... there is only one thing left now: "First ask, is your job... dangerous?"
This question made Long Chengxuan silent for a long time, and finally he said with difficulty: "Uncle, I don't want to lie to you. My job is indeed very dangerous. But this is how our men of the Long family come here. For this job, I have received various trainings since I was two years old. These trainings are to allow me to survive when I am in this profession."
Faced with such frank Long Chengxuan, Zhang Hanyu was also silent. He shook out a cigarette and handed it over: "Do you smoke?"
"Thank you, I don't smoke."
"Do you mind if I draw one?"
"Please do it!"
So, the study was quiet, until Zhang Hanyu finished smoking the cigarette, he spoke, but his voice was slow: "From the perspective of a citizen of a country, I should support you together. After all, you have paid so much for the country, and when you find your true love, we should support you."
"But, besides being a citizen, I am also a father. Like all fathers in the world, I hope my daughter can live happily, safely, get married, have children, and grow old slowly. Her life can be a little more plain, but it must be stable and peaceful. Don't worry all day long. And you can't do this."
"So, uncle, are you going to deny me all because of this?" Hearing this, Long Chengxuan's heart sank. This afternoon, Zhang Xiaomo promised him to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate tomorrow. Although he had already asked his father to get this certificate, it was not approved by Zhang Xiaomo after all.
But at night, Zhang Hanyu suddenly said that he could not accept him. This made him a little sad and a little unacceptable.
Zhang Hanyu saw Long Chengxuan feeling sad and a little painful expression, and finally sighed: "However, I know my daughter best. Once she decides something, even if she is hit by her head, she will never give up. If I object to you two being together, she will really likely elope with you, and will not go home even before I agree."
"I have been looking for her for three years and finally waited for her to come back. I don't want to lose her again."
After hearing the meaning of this sentence, Long Chengxuan's eyes lit up: "So?"
Zhang Hanyu stood up, and Long Chengxuan also stood up quickly.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhang Hanyu seemed to see himself back then, and was also so young and nervously waiting for his future father-in-law's recognition and surrender. He stretched out his hand: "From the future, my daughter will ask you to take good care of her!"
"I promise that she will never be hurt!" Long Chengxuan excitedly held Zhang Hanyu's hand: "Uncle, please rest assured!"
"Where are you still called uncle?"
Long Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Dad!"
After nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Hanyu walked to the desk, pushed open the bookshelf, revealing a safe. He did not avoid Long Chengxuan, and directly unscrewed the password and took out a box from it: "This is Xiao Mo's dowry, please pack it for her."
Long Chengxuan opened the box and saw that it was a pair of jade bracelets that were old and all green. He had been exposed to these things since he was a child. He only took a look and knew that the bracelets were valuable: "It's very beautiful, I'll thank Xiao Mo for his father!"
"Treat it (her)!" Faced with this pun, Long Chengxuan nodded heavily: "Yes!"
At this time, Zhang Hanyu finally had a smile on his face: "Okay, let's go out, otherwise Xiao Mo would definitely rush in."
As he was speaking, the door had been knocked, Zhang Hanyu shook his head helplessly: "Come in!"
Zhang Xiaomo walked in wearing a new skirt: "Dad, Aunt Xiao Wu said that dinner is ready, Mom asked me to come and ask you to have dinner. We are all waiting for you."
Facing the excuse of his daughter, Zhang Hanyu smiled: "Okay, let's go!"
Only then did Long Chengxuan come over and hold Zhang Xiaomo's hand: "Let's go, go for dinner."
And she saw the jewelry box in the other party's hand with sharp eyes. She looked at him with an incredible look: "Is it true or false?"
