Chapter 903: Chapter 903: [Extra] Betrothal Money and Bride Price
The two families gathered at the Sheng Mansion.
Everyone except Sheng Yeli was present.
The Sheng Family warmly greeted Mr. Xu and Mother Xu, who were equally thoughtful and brought gifts that almost filled the Sheng Family’s living room.
The family sat down to chat.
Before Sheng Chuyi and Shen Zhaozhao could speak, Mother Xu proactively expressed, “Although the two kids are just engaged, for our family, it’s a commitment to marriage.”
“We won’t give less than the bride price and dowry.” As she spoke, she took out a bank card.
“This card contains ten million, and we’ve also prepared a house and two commercial properties. These are the betrothal gifts for An’an. In addition, if there are any other requests from your family, we will certainly do our best to meet them.”
“Both his father and I really like Ranran, this girl, and we will definitely treat her like our daughter. Rest assured, as she marries into our family…”
The Sheng Family was shocked looking at what Mother Xu had brought; they didn’t expect the Xu Family to present so many things as a betrothal gift.
Of course, ten million may seem like a lot of money to an ordinary family, but it’s nothing to the Sheng Family.
However, the Sheng Family is not short on money, so they naturally wouldn’t care about these gifts; they value the Xu Family’s attitude more.
And what they provided had already far exceeded their expectations.
The sincerity of the Xu Family was felt by the Sheng Family, and naturally, they wouldn’t make things difficult for the other party in other aspects. Moreover, they were already satisfied with Xu Weiran.
Sheng Chuyi spoke, “We don’t have any requirements; as long as the two kids live well, that’s enough.”
Mother Xu responded happily, “If that’s the case, let’s quickly discuss the date for the engagement. I picked a few dates in advance before coming. Please take a look and see which date seems suitable? In my opinion, the sooner the engagement banquet is held, the sooner my worries can be laid to rest. What do you think?”
The Sheng Family glanced at the dates Mother Xu chose, and the earliest was already next month.
The latest was within six months.
That seemed a bit too rushed.
But fortunately, it was just an engagement, not a wedding.
Qin Suxin pointed to the earliest date and said, “I think next month’s date might be too rushed? If we book the hotel now, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
The old lady didn’t mind other things, just worried that her beloved granddaughter might be wronged.
Such a big event as her granddaughter’s engagement banquet must be grand.
Good hotels need to be booked in advance.
Moreover, other preparations like dresses and makeup all require time to customize.
Besides, their family also has to prepare return gifts for the Xu Family’s child.
And they need to prepare invitations and souvenirs for relatives and friends.
None of these can be sloppily done.
A month’s time is certainly not enough.
Mother Xu said, “Then let’s go with the later date; that date is also good. As for the hotel, don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. We’ll make sure the banquet is grand and that An’an won’t be wronged.”
Coincidentally, she had an old sister whose husband’s family invests in hotels, and they own several star-rated hotels.
They even own resorts.
If she made a request, there would definitely be no problem.
“Then let’s go with Mother-in-law’s suggestion!”
Finally, the engagement banquet was scheduled for three months later, in mid-July, coinciding with the school holiday.
Looking at the two families happily chatting together, the two concerned parties seemed indifferent.
