My ex is a queen, I'm on fire - Chapter 345 344, Betrothal gift and wedding room
Chen Wenhan on the side looked at it and frowned. He didn’t expect the second aunt to come like this.
But since the red envelope was given, he couldn’t say anything.
“Second aunt, didn’t you say you were going to meet Xiaoyun’s parents today?”
“What time is it set?”
Chen Wenhan didn’t want to continue talking about the topic of red envelopes, so he simply changed the topic.
“Ten o’clock.”
“It seems that it’s almost time.”
If Chen Wenhan hadn’t mentioned this, Zhao Yuzhen would have really forgotten about it, mainly because Qin Wenxi’s arrival was so sudden and shocking. She glanced at the clock on the wall and it was already half past nine.
“Yukai, hurry up and clean up. You are the protagonist today!”
Chen Wenhan winked at his cousin who was still sitting stupidly aside.
“Eh.”
“Sister-in-law, please sit down first!”
Liu Yukai said hello and hurried back to the room.
Zhao Yuzhen and Liu Guofu were going to meet their future in-laws, so they also went to change clothes.
“Sister-in-law, can I take a photo with you?”
Liu Meiting didn’t leave, she asked with a smile while holding the new Tongda R7 she bought yesterday.
“certainly.”
Qin Wenxi smiled and nodded, and took a few selfies with Liu Meiting.
“Brother, come here too, let the three of us take a photo together!”
After being contacted yesterday, Liu Meiting has become familiar with this celebrity cousin who has no airs. She feels that the brother and sister-in-law who take selfies should be neat and tidy.
“It’s OK to take pictures, but don’t let your hair grow wild!”
Chen Wenhan warned.
It would be nothing if the photos of him spending the Spring Festival at his second aunt’s house were posted online. If the news that he and Qin Wenxi were spending the Spring Festival at his second aunt’s house got out, the self-media could make up tens of thousands of words of romance novels!
“Yeah, I will definitely not mess up my hair!”
Liu Meiting quickly expressed her stance.
However, Qin Wenxi has a different opinion on this matter: “Actually, it doesn’t matter if you post it on Moments.”
Qin Wenxi is not afraid of the exposure of her relationship now. If she hadn’t considered Chen Wenhan’s feelings, she would have even wanted to blow herself up.
There was no way, the competition in the finals was fierce, and although she acquiesced in Lin Nian’s existence, the two of them had to divide themselves into palace-sized ones.
Unless one of the two suddenly figures it out and decides to quit in the days to come, there will definitely be a secret war between the two.
Qin Wenxi had no intention of quitting. After all, she had been waiting for so many years and could not give up easily.
Liu Meiting was a little moved and wanted to show off on her WeChat Moments. Yesterday she posted a photo of Chen Wenhan celebrating the New Year at her home, which immediately made her the most beautiful girl in her WeChat Moments.
Not only that, several of her photos on Weibo were even forwarded by many media. Her personal Weibo account gained tens of thousands of followers overnight. Netizens were asking about her relationship with Chen Wenhan, and some even speculated. She is Chen Wenhan’s amateur girlfriend, and she can’t stop laughing.
But just when Liu Meiting was wondering if she could show off in her circle of friends, she received an unfriendly look from her celebrity cousin.
Liu Meiting shrank her neck in fright, and immediately said with a smile: “I’d better not cause any trouble to my brother and sister-in-law. I can just keep the photos myself!”
“I’m going to change some clothes too, and you guys can chat.”
After taking the selfie, Liu Meiting also ran back to the room.
“I really begged you to come last night??”
Chen Wenhan felt that this matter was a bit strange. The scumbag’s self-cultivation usually wouldn’t talk nonsense after drinking too much, so he had to leave a way out for himself.
“if not?”
Qin Wenxi raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: “If you hadn’t begged me with tears in your eyes, how could I have rushed here overnight!”
“I thought you were under so much pressure here!”
“All right!”
“I’m going to find evidence!”
Chen Wenhan ran to Liu Yukai’s room to find his mobile phone. There were hundreds of unread WeChat messages. Except for a few work messages, the rest of the messages were from Yingying Yanyan. He found his phone with Qin Wenxi. In the chat dialog box, the two had a 21-minute call record at around nine o’clock last night, and then Chen Wenhan took the initiative to send the address of his second aunt’s home.
I didn’t leave any text or voice messages, so it’s really hard to tell whether I was just begging for someone to come over.
He looked at the unread WeChat messages again and found that there were several invitations to celebrate the New Year at home.
First it was Lin Nian, then Shen Qing, but she represented Su Mo. We actually talked about this during the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal.
Liu Yun’er also said that she missed him, Tian Qiushi said that her mother wanted to treat Chen Wenhan to dinner, and He Yiling said that her father wanted to treat Chen Wenhan to a drink.
Among all the news, Jiang Haitang’s was the most outrageous. The second princess Tongda said that she had bought a cat that could stand on its head and asked him if he wanted to see it.
There was no adultery between him and Jiang Haitang, and he seriously doubted whether the second princess Tongda wanted to deceive him into the family to avenge himself for tricking her into following the taxi driver for hundreds of kilometers.
Chen Wenhan sent a WeChat message back to his harem, but there was no specific commitment, and the replies were based on time arrangements and the like.
By the time he responded to WeChat, the whole family had packed up.
The meeting place agreed upon by the two families was a fairly high-end hotel in this city.
After Qin Wenxi arrived, he asked Master Li to return, and the big man Chen Wenhan drove could only accommodate four people. Fortunately, his second uncle had a small car for transportation, so the whole family divided into two cars to go to the hotel they had booked.
He was the driver of Chen Wenhan’s car, Qin Wenxi was sitting in the passenger seat, and his second aunt Zhao Yuzhen and cousin Liu Meiting were sitting in the back seat.
It was the first time for both mother and daughter to ride in such a high-end car. It was a bit novel. Liu Meiting even took out her mobile phone and took a selfie. She also took a photo of Chen Wenhan who was driving, and then sent it to her best friend group, and then she was squealing. Let me tell you: Family members, who knows? This is my driver today!
Because she showed off yesterday, her friends all know that Liu Meiting has such a celebrity cousin, but after the photos were released, there were inevitably all kinds of envious voices in the group.
“Ah, ah, I’m crying with envy, Tingting, it’s not too late for me to go to your house to celebrate the New Year!”
“Tingting, ask your cousin if he needs a sister-in-law?”
“His profile is so handsome. I love Teacher Chen so much!”
“Tingting, why don’t you send more photos if you have nothing to do? Let us have a good time.”
Tianyu Hotel.
Zheng Xiaoyun’s family has arrived.
Since they were discussing marriage, in addition to Zheng Xiaoyun’s parents, the Zheng family also had Zheng Xiaoyun’s second uncle’s family.
“Xiaoyun, your boyfriend’s family has no sense of time. We made an appointment at ten o’clock and it will be here soon.”
“It’s not like they don’t know what day it is, and they’ve made it clear that they don’t take our family seriously!”
Zheng Xiaoyun’s second aunt complained while fiddling with her mobile phone.
Many people have similar relatives. When something good happens in your family, it will always find fault and seems not to want the happy event in your family to come true.
“I just sent a WeChat message saying that I have gone out and should be here soon.”
“Originally, they were able to arrive earlier, but a visitor suddenly came to the house, so they were delayed a little.”
Zheng Xiaoyun helped her boyfriend explain.
“When guests come to their house, they leave us here to hang out. Don’t you know which is more important?” Han Chunyan continued to complain.
“Sister, what kind of guest is this? Such a big name?”
Zheng Xiaoyun’s cousin Zheng Xiaotong yawned and asked. She was a sophomore this year. She was originally going to sleep in today, but she was called out by her parents at around nine o’clock. She was a little depressed.
“Your idol!”
Zheng Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at her cousin.
“What idol?”
Zheng Xiaotong was confused and didn’t understand what her cousin meant.
At this time, the waiter opened the door of the private room, and the Liu family arrived.
Walking in front were Zhao Yuzhen and Liu Guofu, followed by Liu Yukai.
Zheng Xiaoyun’s parents quickly stood up and greeted him politely. If nothing else happened, the two families were going to become in-laws.
Zheng Xiaotong also stood up from her seat politely, and glanced subconsciously at the people who entered the box. The next moment, she couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Qin, Queen Qin!!!”
Her voice startled Father Zheng and Mother Zheng who were chatting with Liu Guofu and Zhao Yuzhen.
“What are you kidding for?”
Han Chunyan glared at her daughter fiercely.
However, Zheng Xiaotong’s voice still diverted everyone’s attention to Qin Wenxi and Chen Wenhan who were walking behind.
“Why does this woman look so familiar?”
Han Chunyan is forty-five this year and has long passed the age of chasing stars, but she usually listens to music, not to mention Qin Wenxi has just attended the Spring Festival Gala. Although she couldn’t call Qin Wenxi’s name right away, she felt that this beautiful woman looked very familiar. .
“Mom, this is Qin Wenxi!”
“The big star, the queen of the music industry, the one who sang “Wanjiang” in this year’s Spring Festival Gala!”
Zheng Xiaotong explained excitedly that she was a big fan of Qin Wenxi and also a fan of “ww” CP. When she saw Chen Wenhan and Qin Wenxi appear together, her little face turned red, and she even had the illusion that she was dreaming.
“This is my nephew and his girlfriend. They are visiting my house.”
Zhao Yuzhen briefly introduced Chen Wenhan and Qin Wenxi to her future in-laws, without introducing their identities in particular.
However, the way she introduced it made Zheng Xiaotong, a “ww” CP fan, very excited. It turned out that the CP she had been consuming had actually come true!
Chen Wenhan greeted the Zheng family politely and paid New Year’s greetings to several elders.
The two families sat down, and exquisite dishes were placed on the table.
This hotel is considered to be the leading hotel in Star City. Putting aside the taste of the food, the presentation is pretty good.
This was the first time the two families met. The conversation was superficial and they were very polite to each other.
As a junior, Chen Wenhan should not be too pushy on such occasions, so he simply buried himself in peeling prawns for Qin Wenxi. The gap between breakfast and this meal was too short and he was not hungry at all, but Qin Wenxi was always on the road, so Chen Wenhan directly pretended to be Got a warm man.
Zheng Xiaotong’s action of actively peeling shrimps for Qin Wenxi made Zheng Xiaotong’s eyes full of stars. There is nothing happier than taking CP at close range. She even secretly took a few photos with her mobile phone.
After three rounds of drinking.
The two families finally got down to business.
Zheng Xiaoyun’s parents are not good at talking, and Han Chunyan, who is eloquent, became the spokesperson: “Brother Liu, sister-in-law, our idea is to follow the local rules of Star City, and the bride price will be 188,000.”
“When you get married, you have to have a house. I heard Xiaoyun said that they are planning to return to Star City to live, so they can buy the house in Star City. The house prices in our Star City are not expensive, so I have to buy a three-bedroom house. In the end, It’s good that it’s full payment, so Xiaoyun and Yukai will be less stressed in the future!”
That’s all Han Chunyan said, and the Zheng family’s requirements are relatively clear, a gift of 188,000 yuan plus a three-bedroom house.
How can I put this request? It is considered to be within a reasonable range.
The betrothal gifts here in Star City are basically three levels: 88,000, 188,000 and 288,000, and a wedding room is not too much to get married.
Therefore, these two demands of the Zheng family cannot be said to be excessive, but these seemingly reasonable demands are actually a considerable burden for the man.
Although the housing prices in Star City are not as good as those in Sanjiang City and surrounding big cities, because it is in a relatively developed economy, the average price of a house in Star City is about 10,000, and a three-bedroom house costs more than 1 million. Including betrothal gifts, wedding banquets and other miscellaneous expenses, the wedding will cost 130,000 to 400,000 yuan.
Of course, the house can be borrowed. If calculated based on the down payment of 300,000 yuan, the wedding cost should be 600,000 to 700,000 yuan, which is a huge sum of money for ordinary working-class people!
Liu Guofu and Zhao Yuzhen are a dual-income family. Their income is not high, but relatively stable. However, with two children to support, it is unrealistic to say that they have too much money.
At present, the total deposits of the two of them are only more than 300,000. It is quite difficult to satisfy Han Chunyan’s request. Therefore, after listening to her words, both of them frowned subconsciously.
“Actually, the house can be loaned. Yu Kai and I both have the ability to make money. We can just pay it back slowly after we get married.”
Zheng Xiaoyun probably knew the financial situation of her boyfriend’s family, so she opened her mouth to smooth things over, not wanting to put too much pressure on them.
“Xiaoyun, that’s what I said.”
“But it’s too stressful to pay off the mortgage for decades. It’s best to pay it in full, so that you and Yu Kai’s life will be much easier after you get married.”
Han Chunyan took the words. She looked at Liu Guofu and Zhao Yuzhen who looked embarrassed, and then her eyes fell on Chen Wenhan and Qin Wenxi. Her daughter told her that they were two big stars, but Chen Wenhan had fought with them since they met. After saying hello, they didn’t say a few words throughout the meal. They were very low-key, as if the two of them were just here to share the meal.
The big stars are probably too lazy to care about this kind of thing. They may not even think about it, but they just happen to catch it.
“Brother Liu, actually we just want to create a relatively good living environment for our two children after marriage. Whether it is a bride price or a house, these are not rigid targets.”
“We can’t borrow money just to get married. Let’s just do our best!”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Zheng Xiaoyun’s father Zheng Dayi spoke up.
Hearing what he said, Liu Guofu and Zhao Yuzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If they followed Han Chunyan’s request, they would be under great pressure.
“As parents, we must leave the best to our children. We will spend everything we have for Yukai and Xiaoyun’s marriage. There is no problem with the betrothal gift and the house, but we may not be able to pay in full.”
Zhao Yuzhen opened her mouth to express her position. She silently calculated it. After paying the bride price, her family still had a savings of hundreds of thousands. She could borrow hundreds of thousands from relatives and friends to make the down payment.
In fact, Zhao Yuzhen has a good impression of Zheng Xiaoyun’s parents. At first glance, they both seem to be honest people and relatively down-to-earth.
Among the Zheng family members, Zheng Xiaoyun’s second aunt, Han Chun, had more affairs and was more talkative.
“Second aunt, let me interrupt!”
At this time, Chen Wenhan, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. While wiping his dirty hands from peeling shrimps with a wet wipe, he said: “When we were eating at home, I was going to talk about the house, but Wen Xi just came. Let’s divert this matter.”
“Second aunt, didn’t I buy you a house? If you and your second uncle can’t live in it, just use it as a wedding room for Yu Kai!”
