Bai Sheng was so angry that she started laughing. “It’s up to me, not you, to decide whether I want to get married, isn’t it? I don’t need you to decide whom I wish to marry, right? It’s not you getting married, it’s me getting married, you don’t have to say anything!”
“Sure! It’s fine if you don’t want to get a divorce!” Ye Yuqin said angrily, “If you refuse to get a divorce, bring me five million yuan as a betrothal gift!”
“Are you crazy?!” Bai Sheng was dumbfounded with anger. Her voice rose and her entire body started to tremble. “Auntie, don’t be greedy! Five million?! Who would give five million to an aunt for their wedding?”
“Why not?” Ye Yuqin mocked, “If the man who marries you doesn’t even have this ability, then you must be blind!”
Bai Sheng was beside herself with anger! It’s known that for many families, marrying off their daughters was equivalent to selling their daughters. But at the very least, these are biological mothers doing it.

The most hateful thing was…
Five million?! This was extortion, blackmail!
“I don’t have that sort of money!” Bai Sheng rejected her coldly, “Auntie, I will never agree to it!”
“I’m not asking you for it!” Ye Yuqin was behaving rudely and unreasonably. “Get your husband to come to the phone! I’ll talk to him!”
“Why should I?” Bai Sheng raised her voice.
Gu Chengze was fastening his seatbelt when he noticed Bai Sheng’s face turning pale. He raised his eyebrows and asked with concern, “Was it your aunt who called?”
“Uh… uh huh.” Bai Sheng covered her phone and said guiltily, “She’s pestering me again.”
“Oh? Is it about the betrothal gift?”
“How… did you know?”
“She was very loud. I heard her.” As he spoke, Gu Chengze stretched out his palm. “Give me the phone. I’ll talk to her.”
“But…”
“Give it to me. Be good.”
Bai Sheng sighed and finally passed the phone to him nervously.

Bai Sheng had been keeping the phone mouthpiece covered, so now Ye Yuqin had lost her patience.
Gu Chengze spoke calmly, “Hello, Auntie. My name is Gu Chengze. We’ve met before. Do you still remember?” His spoke elegantly, and it was obvious he was well brought up.
“Xiao Gu!” Hearing his voice, Ye Yuqin’s attitude actually eased up. “I’ve considered your marriage for some time. It’s not that I can’t agree to it! After all, you’ve already registered your marriage. Even if I don’t agree, it’s done and dusted! However, this marriage can’t be for nothing, right?! I’ve put in much effort and done my best to raise Bai Sheng. How can I let her go just like that?! It’s said that a married daughter is like spilled water, gone for good! Which groom’s family in the capital nowadays doesn’t expect to offer a few million yuan? What about you? Do you have any thoughts on this matter?”
When Gu Chengze heard this, he smiled. “I see Auntie is asking for a betrothal gift.”
“What do you mean, asking for?”
Ye Yuqin was displeased. She said coldly, “What do you mean I’m asking you for it? You should take the initiative to give it in the first place!”
Ye Yuqin clearly was asking for it, but she did not want to make it sound bad.
Gu Chengze was not surprised by her attitude.
“Then how does Auntie think is an appropriate amount?”
