Chapter 480: Her Dowry

Chapter 481 Her Dowry

Old Madam Qiao heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to be loving. “Xi Xi, look, Rou Rou has already paid the price. Her face and body are covered in injuries. Moreover, Rou Rou and Moling can’t get married anymore. You should calm down!”

Seeing that the matter had escalated to this point, the guests had long wanted to leave. However, because Gu Zheng was sitting there, no one dared to take that first move.

Under the burning gazes of everyone, Qiao Xi said casually, “When my mother married into the Qiao family, she had a dowry. I heard that Madam Xu Mei wants to use it as Qiao Rou’s dowry and bring it to Gu Moling’s family?”

Hearing this, Xu Mei’s heart skipped a beat as she turned pale with fright. “Xi Xi, I… I thought…”

Qiao Zhenguo looked at Gu Zheng’s gloomy eyes and hurriedly walked forward. He explained while trembling, “Xi Xi, don’t… misunderstand! We’re not trying to take the dowry for ourselves, but… Now that there’s a problem with the Qiao family’s company, we can’t fork out the money for now. Rou Rou is about to get married, and the person she wants to marry is the young master of the Gu family, so we wanted to borrow your mother’s dowry first. When the Qiao family recovers, we’ll return the dowry to you.”

“Heh.” Qiao Xi sneered. “But Qiao Rou and Gu Moling aren’t getting married anymore. Shouldn’t this dowry be returned to its rightful owner, then?”

Qiao Zhenguo frowned as cold sweat broke out on his back. Xu Mei’s face was filled with horror as well. The two of them felt a chill run down their spines.

Qiao Zhenguo lowered his head and did not say anything. The dowry left behind by Xia Yunqiu was not worth a small amount. It was comparable to the net worth of several Qiao families.

Now that the Qiao family’s company was gone, they could only rely on the assets and companies left behind by Xia Yunqiu to make a comeback. If they did not have those, they would be in trouble.

Moreover, this dowry had always been in his hands. It had already been so many years, so why should he give it to Qiao Xi just because she wanted it back?

Qiao Zhenguo looked troubled, but if he did not agree, President Gu would not let him off easily. He might even lose his life!

“Father seems to be… unwilling! My younger sister and I are both daughters of the Qiao family. When she was getting, you were afraid that she would be aggrieved and were willing to give my mother’s dowry to her. Now that you’ve found out I’m married, why can’t you give this dowry to me? Moreover, this dowry belongs to me. There’s nothing wrong with giving it to me!”

Qiao Xi said unhurriedly, “I’ve already married into the Gu family, so how can I not have a dowry? In your eyes, Gu Zheng can’t compare to Gu Moling, huh? Is that why you think there’s no need to give me a dowry?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Zheng slowly raised his eyes and stared coldly at Qiao Zhenguo. Qiao Zhenguo’s face instantly turned pale as he said helplessly, “Xi Xi, that’s your mother’s dowry. Logically speaking, I should give it to you, but…”

Qiao Zhenguo looked troubled. It was as if there was a huge pressure behind him, and his body was trembling slightly.

“But you know how difficult it is for the Qiao family right now. We really need this money to make a comeback. Moreover, your mother has been dead for so many years. She left you behind, and the Qiao family has been taking care of you. You also know that raising a child requires a lot of money. Although she’s dead, she still has the responsibility to raise you. She should pay the child support fees.”

Qiao Zhenguo turned to look at Gu Zheng and smiled obsequiously. “President Gu, how would we dare to patronize you?! It’s just that Xi Xi didn’t tell us that she has gotten married. Otherwise, I would definitely have given her the dowry. I thought that Xi Xi wouldn’t be able to use the dowry for the time being, so I planned to give it to Rou Rou first. I didn’t expect Xi Xi to have already married you.

“Moreover, President Gu, you also know that the Qiao family has been in turmoil all these years. The assets and dowry Yun Qiu left behind have all been used to fill the gaps. Xi Xi now wants me to hand over all the dowry. I really… can’t do it!”

The guests nodded thoughtfully. Actually, Qiao Zhenguo was right. The dowry was Xia Yunqiu’s premarital assets, but the two of them had been married for so many years. Moreover, Xia Yunqiu had also passed away for so many years. This sum of money should be given to Qiao Zhenguo. Moreover, Qiao Zhenguo had also been taking care of Qiao Xi’s basic necessities. This was quite a large sum. It seemed to be slightly inappropriate for the Qiao family to give it all away.

Seeing that everyone nodded affirmatively, Qiao Zhenguo’s expression softened.
