Chapter 322: The Tycoon's Dowry

Chapter 322: The Tycoon's Dowry

The next morning, Lu Ye and Bai Zhi set off for the hotel to pick up their uncles for breakfast.

Bai Zhi plans to take Ye Tiandong to meet Old Zhou and his wife today.

Old Zhou also knew her maternal grandmother.

Since her uncle refused to meet her maternal grandfather, she could first let Ye Tiandong listen to Old Zhou tell stories of the past.

When they arrived at the hotel, Ye Jingsong and Wang Lan were already up, and Ye Qingbai was also in their room.

The family is chatting.

Seeing that Lu Ye and Bai Zhi had arrived so early and that he was going to take them out for breakfast, Ye Jingsong felt a little guilty.

With them around, the two kids couldn't get anything done; they had to fawn over them.

Ye Jingsong said with a smile, "Xiao Zhi, we plan to go out for a walk today. You go about your business and let Qingbai take us to have fun."

"Uncle, I'm off today, so I can come along."

“Child, you don’t need to stay with us. You have more important things to do.” Ye Jingsong glanced toward the door and lowered his voice. “Take advantage of your uncle’s visit to Nancheng and have a good talk with him. Try to persuade him and see if you can ease the tension between father and son. We are very worried about the current situation.”

Wang Lan chimed in, "That's right, we can't do anything about it. We need Xiao Zhi to step in. She and her son will give you face."

“We’re all going out to have fun today. Why don’t you treat your uncle to a meal and have a good talk with him?”

Ye Jingsong was extremely worried about the relationship between Ye Tiandong and Ye Rufeng.

Bai Zhi understood his good intentions, and she nodded, "Okay, Uncle, then let my cousin take you out to play, and I'll cook for you all at home tonight."

"Okay, I hope there will be good news tonight. What we eat is not important, what's important is that we are reunited."

Before Ye Tiandong got up and came out, Ye Jingsong and his family of four left.

They were afraid that Ye Tiandong would suddenly open the door and come out to play with them.

Lu Ye went to knock on Ye Tiandong's door.

Ye Tiandong had just woken up when he saw the two people appearing at the door. He smiled and asked, "Why are you here so early?"

"Uncle, it's getting late. My cousins ​​have already gone out to play."

"Really?" Ye Tiandong glanced at his watch and smiled. "It is indeed getting late. I was a bit tired last night, so I overslept."

"Since your uncle and his family have gone out to play, let's go out too later."

Ye Tiandong welcomed them in and said, "Since you're both here, I'd like to ask for your opinions. What else do you need for your wedding room? We'll go and get it, furniture, appliances, and so on."

Lu Ye said, "Uncle, we have everything we need, I've prepared everything."

"As a member of the bride's family, I should at least bring some dowry." Ye Tiandong thought for a moment, then looked at Bai Zhi and said, "How about I buy you a motorcycle?"

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle, my maternal grandfather has already bought it for me."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ye Tiandong's expression darkened noticeably.

He quickly regained his composure and joked, "I don't need a motorcycle, but buying a car would be a bit of a financial strain for me right now."

"Haha, Uncle, you really have the mindset of a tycoon, starting with a car."

Ye Tiandong took a box out of his suitcase and handed it to Bai Zhi, saying, "This is a gift I bought for you."

"Thank you, Uncle." Bai Zhi accepted it casually, treating it as an ordinary gift.

Upon closer inspection of the logo, she exclaimed in surprise, "A mobile phone?"

"Okay, here's a mobile phone for you, so you can contact me in the future."

"This..." Bai Zhi initially felt it was too precious to accept, but then she thought that since her uncle had already given it to her, there was no reason to refuse it.

She happily thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle. This gift is really precious, and I love it."

"If you like it, that's fine."

Ye Tiandong said, "Since you already have the motorcycle and don't need furniture or appliances, then I won't buy any more. Take the mobile phone, and I'll give you some cash as a dowry later. Let me tell you, my niece, no matter where you go, money is always the most practical thing."

Bai Zhi hurriedly refused, "Uncle, your mobile phone is too valuable. Why would I need cash? I have my own money."

"What's so valuable about it? It's only about ten thousand yuan. Take it and use it. Besides spending my own money, you're the only family I have left."

Ye Tiandong's expression was gloomy, and his tone was full of disappointment.

He used to have hope, hoping that Li Li would give him a child. He worked hard to earn money to support his family, looking forward to a happy life together in the future.

You can try your best until the very end...

Even now, he finds it ironic when he thinks about it.

For him now, the only family member he truly needs to take care of is his sister's child.

Therefore, as his uncle, he had to give his niece a grand wedding.

"Then we'll go buy you clothes, blankets, and other daily necessities."

Ye Tiandong held his wedding last year, and he is quite knowledgeable about wedding preparations.

Logically, when a girl gets married, her mother should sew a quilt with a dragon and phoenix motif for her by hand.

However, Bai Zhi's situation was special, and the Ye family also had no female relatives.

Having someone else sew it doesn't convey the same meaning.

Therefore, she simply spent money to buy the best silk quilts as part of her dowry.

"Uncle, I've bought two blankets."

Bai Zhi didn't dare mention quilts or anything like that; her maternal grandfather had already bought them, and they were kept at home.

Although her grandfather appeared stern and cold, he was actually warm-hearted and very concerned about her marriage.

A few days ago, when he took Ye Qingbai out, he bought some wedding dowry items such as quilts, thermos flasks, and washbasins.

All are festive red.

"Buy two more. It's good to have extra blankets so we can switch them out."

Ye Tiandong insisted on going shopping, and Lu Ye and Bai Zhi readily agreed.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Ye Tiandong was in much better spirits today than when he first arrived in Nancheng yesterday. He had his hair slicked back, was wearing a brown leather jacket, and had a small leather bag tucked under his arm, looking every bit the boss.

He had Lu Ye drive the car directly to the largest department store in the southern part of the city.

Then I went on a shopping spree.

From top-quality silk quilts to imported down jackets costing hundreds of yuan, and cosmetics, everything is available, and everything is in double portions.

Bai Zhi hadn't planned to buy too many things.

Two sets of clothes are enough, and cosmetics are fine as long as she needs them.

Many women buy everything in pairs when they get married, largely because their families know that once they're married and starting to live a regular life, they won't have extra money to spend on themselves.

Bai Zhi didn't have this worry. She and Lu Ye both wanted to keep things simple. Plus, she was quite busy with work, so apart from the things her grandfather bought for her, she didn't do anything else herself.

Today, Ye Tiandong showed her what real nouveau riche behavior looks like.

Of course, Ye Tiandong's actions further demonstrate his love for his niece and show his support as her family.
