Chapter 385 Dowry
Wen Lan kissed Yangyang, handed her over to the nanny and went upstairs.
The study was filled with smoke, and Wen Lan started coughing as soon as he entered the door.
Jiang Jingci hurriedly put the unfinished cigarette in the ashtray and opened all the windows.
"Go ahead, I'm all ears." Wen Lan stood at the door with an impatient look on his face.
Jiang Jingci suppressed his displeasure with her, bent down and took out two house books from the safe and put them on the table, "I made adjustments to the original betrothal gift. The six pieces of jewelry remain unchanged, 6.66 million. The gift money will be exchanged for two properties. Before the house is renamed, an agreement must be signed. If you can’t live peacefully with me, I have the right to take back the house.”
"I don't want any betrothal gifts." Wen Lan blurted out, "You save Xie Yansheng, and I will marry you. It's a fair deal."
Wen Lan's heart is not with Jiang Jingci, so why would he care about his real estate gift money!
The word "deal" poked a hole in Jiang Jingci's heart again.
In order to make Wen Lan favor him, he spent a lot of money.
There are six pieces of jewelry at the bottom of the box. If you take out just one piece and put it up for auction, the figures will be staggering.
He decided to exchange the gift money for real estate after careful consideration. In the final analysis, it was because he had no trust in Wen Lan!
"I said, I will give it to you even if Xie Yansheng can't give it to you." Jiang Jingci still forbeared and took a document from the drawer and handed it to her, "The real estate transfer is very simple. Just go to the real estate bureau with your ID card. It can be done. But before you go to the real estate bureau, you have to sign my agreement."
Wen Lan shook his head angrily, "There's no need to bother like this, because I'm not interested in any of Mr. Jiang's property."
"Not only are you not interested in my property, you are even less interested in me as a person." Jiang Jingci gritted his teeth and said these heartbreaking words, "The only thing you are interested in is the sound of the thank you banquet."
Wen Lan raised his eyebrows, "You called me here just to let me listen to you trying to squeeze me?"
"Since we can't agree on the bride price, let's skip over and talk about the wedding day." Jiang Jingci paused and softened his tone, "After my parents retired, they went to Shaocheng to start a retirement life. On the wedding day, not only Many of their relatives are coming over—"
"Just get to the point." Wen Lan interrupted him.
"I know you are not on good terms with the Wen family, but you still have a selfish idea -" Jiang Jingci said slowly, "I hope you can marry from the Wen family on the wedding day. Because in the eyes of my parents and uncles, women are still There must be family members and natal family members.”
Wen Lan thought he heard it wrong at first, but when he saw Jiang Jingci's determined eyes, he was sure it was true.
Wen Jinyin was the executioner who killed Ji Minxin. Wen Lan would never let Wen Jinyin show up at his wedding looking like a dog!
Even if this marriage is not approved by her, it won't work!
She laughed at herself, "I don't have a natal family, let alone a natal family. If your family can't accept me like this, I'd better not hold the wedding."
"I know that you are very hostile to Wen Jinyin, but you still have to take your face into consideration when you are alive." Jiang Jingci's voice suddenly darkened, "To put it bluntly, I don't want my relatives and friends to say anything to you, my legitimate wife. Tao Si."
"Don't even think about it. I won't make any concessions." Wen Lan refused coldly.
Jiang Jingci's brows furrowed further, "Then let's talk about the next thing -"
Wen Lan felt cold all over before he even heard him speak.
"After the wedding, I'm going to take you to Europe for your honeymoon." Jiang Jingci forced out an unnatural smile in order to lighten the atmosphere. "With two children and a nanny, it will be a mess. I don't want to be in this state." Spend our wedding together.”
"Zhou Qiao hasn't recovered yet, so I can't leave Jiangcheng for a long time." Wen Lan replied without hesitation.
Her rejection was expected by Jiang Jingci, but he still said patiently: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will go to the hospital to find Zhou Qiao and ask her to send someone else to take over your job."
"Zhou Qiao hasn't gotten over the pain of Zhao Huan's death yet, so please stop causing trouble for her." She continued to fight for herself.
Jiang Jingci's eyes grew colder, "You rejected all three of my suggestions."
She pursed her lips.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Jingci was the first to speak: "Then let's each take a step back. The bride price is up to you, and you must rely on me for the other two."
"Jiang Jingci." Her voice was low and indifferent, "I suggest you cancel the wedding. Now that you and I are husband and wife, just live peacefully. Don't waste time and money."
"Do you still know that you and I are husband and wife now?" Jiang Jingci's eyes turned red and he grabbed her wrist, "Tell me in good conscience, will you ever live peacefully with me after receiving the certificate? Who in the world can Women don’t want to have a grand wedding, so you are the only one who contradicts me and tries every means to conceal your identity as my legal wife!”
Wen Lan was poked into her weak spot and she pulled Jiang Jingci's hand guiltily, but Jiang Jingci was very forceful this time, holding her tighter and tighter without saying a word, and pressed her against the computer table without any further explanation.
"Since we are already husband and wife, you should fulfill your obligations now!"
"Jiang Jingci, you said you would wait until the wedding is over——"
"Stop trying to kidnap me morally! We are now a legal couple, and whatever we do is reasonable!" Jiang Jingci's dark voice was filled with urgency, and one hand was already lifting the hem of her dress.
At this time, Wen Lan was being pressed down on the computer table by Jiang Jingci in a humiliating posture. She only had the thought of protecting herself, so she grabbed the keyboard and threw it at Jiang Jingci!
Jiang Jingci had been prepared for this, and stretched out his hand to block the keyboard. Wen Lan struggled to get up, and her upper body fell off the computer desk with a "bang".
Her head hit the ground heavily, and she screamed in pain several times.
All the beautiful thoughts in Jiang Jingci's heart instantly went to Java Country. He took out a cigarette and lit it, looking coldly at Wen Lan who was lying on the floor in a mess.
Wen Lan took a lot of effort to slowly stand up by holding the wall.
"If I had known that you would resist like this, I would not have saved Xie Yansheng." Jiang Jingci's eyes were as sharp as a knife, falling on Wen Lan, "I, Jiang Jingci, never force anyone. The wedding can be cancelled, and now I will accompany you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures. But you have to pay your breach of contract compensation in one lump sum, otherwise there is no room for negotiation."
Wen Lan felt a chill on her back.
All her savings plus the house in Shuyuan Mansion were not enough to cover even a fraction of the compensation!
Jiang Jingci saw her panic at a glance and continued to "raise the stakes", "You neither fulfill your wife's obligations nor want to pay to dissolve the marriage, so I can only sue you in court."
Wen Lan's heart sank, and she tried desperately to find where she could get the money.
The amount was too large for her to open her mouth, so she could only borrow part of it from Zhou Qiao, and the rest--
She suddenly remembered the black card Xie Yansheng gave her!
