After that, the four people got into two cars and left the parking lot. Before Cao's father and Cao's mother could reach the exit of the parking lot, they saw two cars driving out one after the other. They had no time to stop them.
"Dad, what should we do now? Otherwise, if we go and take down the dead girl's company, I don't believe that if we make a fuss, then the dead girl can still ignore us like she is now."
Cao Lu's younger brother had a plan in mind, but immediately, Cao's father's words extinguished his hope.
"It's easy for you to say. Do you know where that girl works? If I hadn't lied to her on the phone this time, she wouldn't have brought us to this place. This loser has done everything right this time. Before
The rented house has also been returned, and now we don’t know where she lives? How can we find her and make trouble?"
"Then what should I do? This won't work, and that won't work either. Then forget it. I won't get married and will be a bachelor for the rest of my life. You can't expect to have grandchildren to take care of you in your old age."
Cao Lu's younger brother was also a scoundrel. When he saw that his parents had no choice, he began to wail and act scoundrelly in the street, causing everyone passing by the roadside to look at him sideways and point.
Father Cao still wanted to save face, so when he saw someone staring at them, he immediately yelled.
"What are you looking at?"
When the passers-by heard Father Cao's roar, they ignored him and just walked away to continue watching the fun. In addition, the three members of the Cao family were wearing extraordinarily simple clothes, and they all had expressions of disgust on their faces.
At this time, Cao's mother felt cruel and said.
"Old man, since that girl is so ruthless, don't blame us as parents for being cruel. Then we agreed to the marriage of Lao Chen from Dongjia Village. He promised to give us a gift of 800,000 yuan as long as the dead girl gets married.
With so much money, my son can still have more money to buy a house."
Yes, this is the last resort they just mentioned.
The old Chen that Cao's mother was talking about was not much younger than Cao's parents. As a result, he got married twice and both his wives died.
When Lao Chen was young, he contracted several mountains in the local area and made a living by planting fruit trees. Later, these mountains were expropriated by the government, and he received a compensation of four to five million yuan. Lao Chen suddenly became a local billionaire.
Millionaire.
Later, Lao Chen used the money to organize a group of people to start construction. After going back and forth, he made a lot of money, and now he is the richest man in Dongjia Village.
Although Lao Chen is so rich, he has one regret. The first of his two wives died unexpectedly not long after they got married. The second wife lasted quite a long time, but she only gave birth to a daughter to Lao Chen.
People in their area believed that not having a son was the most embarrassing thing, so over the years, Lao Chen wanted to find a woman to give him a son, but the more people want something, the less they get.
No, Lao Chen was introduced to the Cao family by others. First, he felt that he was so rich that he couldn't just find a country woman, so the other party must have a high degree of education.
In addition, because Lao Chen himself is not very good-looking, he also has requirements for his wife's appearance for the sake of the next generation's appearance. After this selection, only Cao Lu met the requirements. The key is age.
Fifteen or sixteen years old is the best age to have children.
When Lao Chen asked a matchmaker to go to Cao's house, Cao's father and Cao's mother refused. After all, Lao Chen was almost old enough to be Cao Lu's father. Why didn't they love their daughter?
Would you let your daughter marry someone so old?
But later, when the matchmaker said that as long as the marriage was successful, the old Chen family was willing to pay 800,000 yuan in gift, Cao's father and Cao's mother were immediately moved. But after all, this matter related to their daughter's life, and they did not dare to agree easily.
Still politely declined the matchmaker.
But now, Father Cao and Mother Cao can no longer control so much. Since there is no advantage to be gained from this daughter, it is better to have a one-time sale. However, I am afraid that the price will have to be renegotiated.
Cao Lu's brother on the side heard the conversation between his parents and suddenly saw hope again. He didn't care who his sister married, as long as the other party was rich, it didn't matter whether he was an old man in his forties or even seventy or eighty.
"Dad, Mom, 800,000 is too little. That old Chen in Dongjiacun is very rich. I heard that he has started to build houses in our city. Last time I heard from my friends that this old Chen is at least
There are fifty or sixty million. With so much money, you only gave us 800,000 to marry that damn girl. It’s too cheap.”
When Cao's father and Cao's mother heard this, they were stunned. Five or six million, they had never seen so much money in their lives.
"Son, are you sure that the old Chen family has that much money?"
"Of course, it's just a lot more. Look at the villa he built in Dongjia Village. It was said that it cost three to four million at that time. And he also has several properties in our county. Dad, maybe we can
I can also ask my future brother-in-law to give me a wedding room. The requirements are not high, just a 150-square-meter room in the school district. With the betrothal gift left by then, we can open a storefront and open a supermarket. Don’t worry, Dad, this
I will open the store properly this time and I will never embarrass you again."
Cao Lu's younger brother said emphatically that they had never thought whether Cao Lu would agree to this. At this time, they felt as if the marriage was already done, and they just sat and waited to count the money.
Cao's mother on the side became excited after hearing this. She pulled Cao's father and said.
"Old man, what are you waiting for? Let's buy a train ticket and go back now. In this way, we will discuss it later and list all our requirements. Then I will go to the matchmaker in person. Our dead girl is a sign of success no matter what.
, and as a college student, it’s not too much to ask for more betrothal gifts.”
"Yes, not too much, not too much at all. Come on, let's go back now."
As he said that, the three of them suddenly became energetic. They were not as embarrassed as they were when they were kicked out by the security guards just now.
On the other side, Cao Lu didn't know what her parents were thinking at all, and she was still feeling a little uncomfortable at this time. Although she had gotten rid of her unscrupulous parents, she was the one who gave birth to her after all. No matter how bad Cao's father and mother were to her,
But in Cao Lu's heart, they are also her parents.
"Miss Cao, you don't have to be sad. If you soften your heart today, they will only take advantage of you. By doing this today, you are also taking responsibility for your own life."
In the car, Ding Hao had already sent Shen Xin back to the company and was now preparing to send Cao Lu back to her company. Ding Hao looked at the unhappy expression of Cao Lu sitting in the back row and couldn't help but speak.
After hearing this, Cao Lu raised her head, smiled bitterly, and said.
"Mr. Ding, I'm telling you a joke."
"Miss Cao, just call me Ding Hao. In fact, I have encountered these things before. Like you, I came from a small city, but I am luckier than you. I am the son of the family. I also have a sister.
, four years older than me, she is actually smarter than me. She could obviously go to college back then, but because I was about to go to high school, my family only allowed her to study in a vocational school in our place. Later, when she got a job, she had to bear the responsibilities.
My college expenses. When I saw what happened to your family today, I was actually quite ashamed, because I seemed to have seen my own past."
Ding Hao said with some guilt. Thinking of his eldest sister, Ding Hao felt that the person he was most sorry for in his life was his sister. Fortunately, he was now capable and could help his sister.
But even so, his sister also missed the best life. Because she went to a junior college, she could only find an ordinary job in the local area after graduation, and then married a very ordinary man, although her husband was very good to her.
But because his sister gave birth to a daughter last year, she was disliked by her mother-in-law and often made sarcastic remarks. If Ding Hao had not seen that this sister was a good wife, he would have wanted to persuade his sister to divorce.
After hearing what Ding Hao said, Cao Lu was stunned for a long time. She didn't expect that a man who had only met a few times would reveal his privacy to comfort her. After all, these things didn't sound very honorable.
But Cao Lu did not look down on Ding Hao or put on colored glasses because of this. After all, there was an essential difference between this Ding Hao and her unsatisfactory brother.
Cao Lu looked at Ding Hao beside her, thinking that if her younger brother had one-tenth of Ding Hao's ability, she would not make the decision she did today. But in fact, her younger brother just couldn't help him.
The wall was made of mud, and her money seemed to have been thrown into an abyss that could not be seen to the bottom. Not to mention some splashes, it was difficult to even hear a sound.
"Ding Hao, you don't actually need to feel guilty. Although your sister gave up the opportunity to go to college for you, you know how to be grateful. Now that you have a well-paying job, you have not forgotten your sister's efforts. I think
Your sister will not regret the decision she made."
Speaking of this, Cao Lu looked out of the car with a sad face, was quiet for a long time, and then spoke again.
"If my brother can be like you, no, as long as he can find a job peacefully and start a family instead of dreaming about big dreams of getting rich that can't be realized all day long, that house, I
You can give it to him."
Yes, in the final analysis, Cao Lu was completely disappointed with this younger brother, so she decided to cut off contact with him.
Ding Hao saw that his words did not seem to comfort Cao Lu, but made her even more sad. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although he is now Lei Yan's assistant, he can be said to be outstanding at work, but he rarely has the opportunity to be alone with the opposite sex, so he doesn't know how to comfort a sad woman.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have done bad things with good intentions."
Ding Hao said awkwardly, which made Cao Lu chuckle.
"Mr. Ding Hao, has anyone told you not to be so direct when talking to women?"
"Ah? I'm sorry, I don't have much contact with the opposite sex. When I was in school, I studied science and there were few girls. The bosses I worked with were all men."
Ding Hao explained very matter-of-factly, which actually made Cao Lu temporarily forget the sad things just now, and became a little curious about the man next to her.
"Mr. Ding is the special assistant to the president of Feng Group. Shouldn't there be many women who like him? I think Mr. Ding is a few years older than me. Don't you have a girlfriend?"
While driving, Ding Hao touched his hair with one hand and said a little embarrassedly.
"Actually, I used to work for Ji Te's assistant. Later, I was sent to work with Mr. Lei after he came to the company. Also, my family owed a lot of money in order to support my education. In the past few years, I just wanted to pay off the debts for my family.
, and they don’t dare to have a girlfriend, not to mention a vanity fair like Kyoto City. People like me who come from a small ravine are like that kind of phoenix man in their eyes, who would like me."
Ding Hao also had a bitter look on his face when he said this. Although he has lived in Kyoto City for almost ten years, no one knows how difficult it is for outsiders to survive in this city.
