Chapter 913: Chapter 913 Fate is Destined by Heaven

Luo Daoren sat down, picked up a plate of tomatoes mixed with sugar, and looked at his spouse, "The Feng family in the front street is taking a daughter-in-law the day after tomorrow. I just ran into Old Feng on my way back; he said he wants us to come over tomorrow afternoon to help out."

Zhou Guifang nodded, "I heard about it some days ago. Our family has had several weddings, and the couple from that family have often helped out. I’ll go over earlier tomorrow; it’s only right to give and receive. Day after tomorrow, I’ll give a larger sum of money for the gift. That’s their only child who’s not married yet."

Luo Daoren nodded, "I know. I’ll check the ledger later. This time, we’ll return all the gift money we’ve received from the Feng family before, and then add a little extra."

Zhou Guifang let out a sigh, "That kid, Siyuan, who knows when he’ll be able to start his own family. Now, if you talk too much about it, he just brushes you off. He doesn’t take finding a partner seriously at all."

Luo Qiao looked at her grandmother’s worried expression, "Grandma, fate is predestined. My fourth brother has a good job and looks; our family conditions are not the best but certainly not the worst. When the right time comes, nothing can stop it. You don’t have to worry."

The very Luo Siyuan being discussed was on his way to the airport, summoned last minute by his boss to pick up a guest.

It was his first visit to the airport. Fixated on the way ahead, he hurried a bit too fast and accidentally bumped into a girl coming from the opposite direction, resulting in the pair of crystal vases she was carrying shattering on the ground.

He too was startled, standing frozen on the spot for a while, unsure what to do, just repeatedly saying, "I’m really sorry, I’m in a hurry to pick someone up and wasn’t watching where I was going."

The girl stared regretfully at the broken crystal vases on the ground. They were gifts she had specially brought back for a friend, now a wasted effort. But she knew it wasn’t intentional and blamed herself for being a bit distracted.

A cleaning lady came over soon after, "Oh dear, such a shame for these nice things to be broken."

By now, Luo Siyuan had regained his composure, "Miss, I don’t carry much cash on me right now. If you trust me, leave your address with me. I’ll send you the money later, but I really have an important task right now, my apologies."

"Go on. I can’t blame you entirely; I was also distracted and didn’t hold it properly. Just forget it."

After saying this, the girl dragged her suitcase and started to walk away.

Luo Siyuan wanted to say more, but the announcement for the person he was there to pick up was already blaring, and he had no choice but to turn away and attend to his task.

At Jinyuan Garden, Di Linchuan, father of Di Manning, arrived with his relatives. The front desk stopped them to explain the changes Manning had made to the reservation, "Mr. Di, we need you to sign the form once again."

Upon hearing this, Di Linchuan, in front of his relatives, did not want to cause a scene, but internally he was close to exploding. Was there something wrong with his daughter’s brain?

It was just the engagement party today, not a single penny taken as a bridal dowry. The original 660 yuan per table was already quite good, but now, without consulting him, she had changed it to 1,660 yuan per table, meaning he had to pay an extra two thousand or more.

As the engagement party began, the guests, upon seeing the dishes served, started whispering among themselves, "Di Linchuan really favors his future daughter-in-law. I didn’t expect even an engagement party to be so extravagant."

"But you can’t say it that way. Once the Di family has set this precedent, how high will others set the standard for their own engagement parties? Worrisome indeed."

"Use power to the extent of your ability, why blindly follow others and give yourself trouble? The food is indeed nice; let’s focus on eating."

After the engagement party ended, and the guests had been seen off, with no other option—as he hadn’t brought enough money—he had to ask his spouse to go home once more to fetch money. It wasn’t until after four o’clock that they finally left Jinyuan Garden.

When he got home, he immediately gave his daughter a severe scolding. Di Manning, seeing her father was truly angry, didn’t dare to talk back or explain herself, let alone reveal the true circumstances of the situation.

If her father found out that she had spent so much more just to show off, he would only get angrier.

She realized she had been a bit impulsive today, having squandered over two thousand yuan for nothing. She felt that if it weren’t for Luo Qiao pushing her into a corner with her words, she wouldn’t have done it.

Now, she understood she must have fallen into Luo Qiao’s trap. In her heart, she thought, "Luo Qiao, just you wait."
