In the hotel suite, Qiao's father and mother tossed and turned and didn't sleep much of the night.
The next morning, the two called their daughter.
Qiao Hui looked at her parents, who looked unhappy, and couldn't help asking with concern: "Dad, Mom, did you have trouble sleeping in bed last night?"
"Can't sleep."
Mother Qiao smiled helplessly: "I don't know whether I should be happy or unhappy."
Dad Qiao sighed and smiled: "I thought Cheng Huanran was a child from an ordinary family. With our family's conditions, we could recruit him into our family.
Unexpectedly, he was resolute and his family members were also determined not to do so.
We took a step back and asked him to go with us to the provincial capital.
I wanted to attract him with the superior conditions of our family, but unfortunately, their own conditions are tens of thousands of times better than ours, so this approach simply won't work."
Qiao's mother whispered: "Based on what happened last night, there is no way we can let him get married, let alone let him go back to the provincial capital with us.
Xiaohui, if you insist on being with him, then you can only marry him and stay in the imperial capital."
"I..." Qiao Hui didn't understand her parents' concerns and murmured: "Dad, Mom, we have been together for five years."
Mother Qiao couldn't help frowning and looking at her with distress.
"Xiaohui, your parents are the only daughter.
If you stay in the Imperial Capital, if we want to see you in the future, we have to take the high-speed train or fly over.
If we have a headache, there may not even be anyone around us to ask for help.
If you suffer any grievance here, there won't even be a single family member to support you all the way away.
Xiaohui, you have to think clearly!"
Qiao Hui lowered her eyes, feeling troubled inside.
"Dad, Mom, you all also like A Ran very much..." Dad Qiao nodded: "Yes, he is indeed a very good child.
No matter in terms of appearance, or in terms of his studies and personality, he is one of the best talents in the world.
It has to be said that a tiger father has no dog sons.
A family environment with such superior economic conditions can cultivate a good child with a kind personality, modesty and politeness in dealing with others, and a love of learning and struggle. It can be seen that his parents are very powerful people."
"You saw it last night, his mother is amazing!"
Mother Qiao sighed faintly: "A few casual words have overwhelmed our family without any chance to breathe.
That kind of spirit that hides everything and remains unchanged in response to all changes, no matter how you are her opponent in the future, she can beat you to pieces with just one or two moves."
Qiao Hui secretly swallowed her saliva and whispered hesitantly: "...No way?
When I look at my aunt, her eyes are very gentle, and A Ran is exactly the same as her."
"My child, you are still young!"
Mother Qiao glanced at her and said: "She is an out-and-out businessman. No matter how high-quality and well-educated she is, she cannot change her nature as a businessman.
As the saying goes, there is no business without treachery.
She doesn't look strong, she's very gentle and polite, but the strength and calmness in her eyes are enough that you can't cope with it even after decades of training."
Dad Qiao tapped his fingers on the table and lowered his voice: "You didn't listen carefully last night. That's what Cheng Huanran said - his mother had distributed most of her property to them when she retired the year before last.
The three brothers and sister went back and forth for more than a year before all the procedures were completed.
He also said that now he relies on his mother's subordinates to help manage his property.
Child, do you know what this means?"
Qiao Hui was stunned and turned pale.
"I...I know.
These are his pre-marital properties. If I marry him, I will not have any share in these properties."
Dad Qiao nodded: "Yes, these are his pre-marital properties.
In addition, he will work in a hospital for a few years and then take over the job in a pharmaceutical group when the time is right.
This means that his property must be controlled by his mother for a long time.
Moreover, it will always be pre-marital property and has little to do with you."
Qiao Hui shook her head hesitantly: "No, dad... Ah Ran, he is not the kind of person who values money very seriously."
"fool!"
Mother Qiao couldn't help but interrupt her and said: "If he doesn't value money, you will be even less likely to get anything in the future.
You still have to work, and you still have to fight for your own property, because nothing your husband owns is yours."
Dad Qiao nodded in agreement and whispered: "That's true.
So, don’t get excited immediately when you hear that someone has a lot of real estate money.
Xiaohui, ours is a well-to-do family, you shouldn’t be attracted by others’ benefits.”
"I don't."
Qiao Hui lowered her eyes and whispered: "I really love him Cheng Huanran.
He had no money, but I still loved him for five or six years.
Now I know that he is the child of a wealthy family and has a lot of property in his name, but this does not affect my love for him."
"fool!"
Qiao’s mother scolded and scolded: “You are getting married now, not falling in love.
When you are in love, you can do whatever makes you happy and how you like it.
But getting married is different! Getting married means living with daily necessities of food, rice, oil and salt. How can you eat and drink without money? Where can you live without a house? There are also all kinds of money-consuming and miscellaneous things to raise children in the future - which of these are not allowed to be spent?
If it's just about falling in love, it doesn't matter how poor he is.
But now that you are getting married, you have to face these problems."
"yes."
Father Qiao lowered his voice: "Their family... calculated so carefully that they turned it all into pre-marital property and it has nothing to do with you at all.
If Cheng Huanran comes back with us, we will have an excellent son.
Right now, their family doesn't want him to leave. If you still insist on marrying him, then not only will our family not be able to find a good son-in-law, but we will also have to give up your only daughter."
"There is no one and no money."
Mother Qiao said in a deep voice: "This is a matter of losing both man and money!"
Qiao Hui frowned when she heard this: "Dad, Mom, you can't say that.
Anyway, whether I go back or stay, I have to work! In the past, you were worried that I would have a hard time if I stayed, but Aran and his mother both promised that it would not be the case. They can live in whatever house they want and the car should be fine.
Then there’s no need to worry, right?
When he was poor, I was willing to marry him.
He is rich now, why can't I follow him?
This logic is all messed up!"
"If his family is just ordinary and wealthy, then that's it."
Mother Qiao warned in a low voice: "It just so happens that they are from a wealthy family. Sooner or later, you will suffer from the tricks of rich families!"
"No way?"
Qiao Hui hesitated to explain: "Aran said... we can live on our own after we get married, and we will be very free."
Qiao’s mother couldn’t help but ask: “Is it possible that we don’t have to have contact with his family?
His mother said last night that he is the eldest son in the family, and he will have to shoulder many responsibilities in the family from now on.
Xiaohui, we are just a simple family of three, but theirs is a big family with a large population, are you sure you can handle it?"
