Chapter 70: 70 Marriage Gifts Negotiation Failed_1

Throughout the following day, I couldn’t help but show my scorn for Gu Yuanzhou.

I’m worried that this would reveal my true feelings.

So, I texted Gu Yuanzhou, taking the day off.

That day, I made plans with Wenya and Jian Jing to relax at the Wendu Holiday Village.

Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at the resort, Jian Jing received a call from home.

“I need to get back! My mom is looking for me!”

“Why is she looking for you? You are about to get married!”

Jian Jing sighed before telling us about her recent problems.

“It’s about my marriage to Yu Jiahang. Last time, my mother-in-law demanded that I transfer my house stitle to her before she would provide a dowry. As per your advice, I rejected the transfer, and about the dowry… if she doesn’t give it, then she doesn’t give it! I thought about it, our house costs over a million. It’s really not worth it to be obliged to give a dowry for the house. So, I agreed to have the wedding without a dowry. The Yu Family agreed to this, but my mom wasn’t happy.”

Wenya asked, “What did your mom say?”

“During the meeting with both families, my mom almost got into a fight with my mother-in-law. My mom said it wasn’t easy raising me and the Yu Family couldn’t just take me without giving anything in return. The house transfer was denied, and not a penny less for the dowry, or else the wedding was off. My mother-in-law claimed that demanding so much money was selling a daughter, but my mom argued that not willing to give a dowry meant they were taking me lightly. They argued back and forth, and now, my mom is watching me every day, threatening that I should not see Yu Jiahang unless they relent.”

Jian Jing let out a sigh.

“This…”

Even Wenya was shocked, never expecting this twist.

“I think your mother is right! If a man loves you, and you are carrying his child, he should be willing to pay, even if it’s not just three hundred thousand, but three million.”

Jian Jing sighed again,

“Yes, my mom also said that while his family gives the dowry, my family will also provide dowry gifts! How can this be selling a daughter?”

Wenya shook her head,

“That house was bought before your marriage, how can you transfer its ownership to her, they’re obviously here for the money, you must not agree to that.”

Touching her baby bump, Jian Jing sighed,

“But what about my pregnancy? My belly is growing bigger every day, and my wedding dress will soon be too tight.”

Wenya angrily pounded the table,

“I bet that’s exactly what they’re counting on, seeing you pregnant and deliberately stalling. They’re waiting for you to give in. I say you should consider raising your child alone! Having your child recognize me as its godmother, I refuse to believe that we few godmothers can’t match up to one father.”

Jian Jing gave a awkward smile, but didn’t reply.

I could tell, Jian Jing was still in love with Yu Jiahang.

Women, oh women!

Don’t fall into love blindly, once you do, it’s like poison seeping into your bones, and no one but yourself can save you.

“Jian Jing, I think you should let Yu Jiahang talk to his mother! Though the transfer might be for his nephew’s education, you only have one house, once transferred, where would your child go to school? You should appeal to his emotion, reason with him and have a heart-to-heart. I believe if he’s not foolish, he should know whether his nephew or his own child is more important.”

I finished speaking, only to be interrupted by a male voice.

“Useless! This guy is a mama’s boy, she’s going to have a hard time once she marries him! In his heart, his mother is more important than his wife and his son! If he cared about you, your mother-in-law would not dare to make these unreasonable demands.”

I looked up, to see Ding Yinuo walking in, trailed by his good friend Su Peisheng.

Wenya was somewhat unhappy, “Su Peisheng, watch your language!”

Su Peisheng didn’t back down, instead he slumped into the couch and continued.

“It may be crude, but there’s truth in it. This family, if you abandon your sense of propriety to marry in, I’m afraid you’re in for a world of pain.”

Wenya gave a soft cough to remind him.

“Jian Jing is pregnant!”

If she wasn’t pregnant, the issue could be negotiated, and breaking off the marriage wouldn’t mean much.

But now, the power to make a decision was no longer in Jian Jing’s hands.

Hearing this, Su Peisheng remained calm.

“It’s just an embryo, it doesn’t even have a human form. Are you going to endure a lifetime of misery for this embryo? I recommend Ding’s clinic. Their pain-free abortion can resolves all of your troubles in half an hour.”

And then with a somewhat critical tone,

“You girls are just too careless in love and marriage. Why would you let yourself get pregnant? You should know that once you get pregnant, you lose your bargaining power. Still, you let yourself get pregnant, how silly.”

Ding Yinuo didn’t say a word the whole time, remaining silent.

He occasionally glanced at me.

I said calmly, “What’s done is done, there’s no point in dwelling on the past. The most important thing now is to find a solution.”

Ding Yinuo sat upright, “There’s not without a solution!”

Wenya immediately leaned in, “Still, Ding has a solution. Some counsellors, all they know is laws and regulations, they have no solution, irritating like a crow.”

Su Peisheng was so angry he was about to explode, but Ding Yinuo held him back, turned his head towards Jian Jing and said, “See if you have the guts.”

Jian Jing asked, “What should I do?”

“You sue Yu Jiahang for rape! The evidence is the baby in your stomach…”

“Ah? I, I, is this alright?”

“Remember, your goal is not to sue him but to deter them. Once they’re scared, they’ll negotiate with you and then you can make any demand.”

Ding Yinuo finished his words calmly, Su Peisheng gave him thumbs up,

“Ding, you’re brilliant. This idea, from a legal perspective, is really viable.”Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊n(.)com

“But he has never forced me.”

Jian Jing was still hesitant, Su Peisheng promptly gave her a crash course in law,

“From a legal point of view, anything against a woman’s will can be judged as rape. Whether it’s before or after the fact, the effect is the same, as long as you sue, you can win.”

Wenya was also clapping her hands in joy, “Jian Jing, we have a handle now, this time we can turn the tables.”

“This is a bad idea, if they sue, their relationship will be over. Even if they get married, the trust will be lost. It’s better to break up.”

My words made everyone fall silent.

After dinner, as we walked out of the restaurant, Ding Yinuo walked beside me for a while.

He looked at me, “Looks like you have a clear mind.”

“Ding Yinuo, you’re smart! But a bit too ruthless, two people in love, you’re asking her to sue her fiance?.”

Ding Yinuo gave me a calm look,

“If her fiancé loved her even a little bit, would he let her be kicked around like a clown by his mother?”

I fell silent.

For a moment, I didn’t know how to retort.

In fact, I also think the people of the Yu family are absolute garbage!

Generally speaking, isn’t the in-laws supposed to be happy about a new addition to the family once there is a pregnancy?

Instead, they took advantage of her pregnancy to make all sorts of unreasonable demands, this isn’t something a normal person would do.

“I’ll make a bet with you, if she’s happy after getting married, I’ll write ‘Ding’ backwards.”

I looked at him, “No bet!”

Ding Yinuo walked a few steps then stopped and looked at me, “Worried about tomorrow’s court session.”

I nodded,

“A bit.”

“What if he’s not convicted, what are you planning to do?”

I gave a bitter smile,

“The drug you gave me, It might come in handy!”
