The City’s Strongest Son-in-law
Chapter 226 - 226 226 Taking Back the Betrothal Gifts

226: Chapter 226: Taking Back the Betrothal Gifts 226: Chapter 226: Taking Back the Betrothal Gifts Tang Siwen, who was particularly excited, subconsciously took out a small mirror and carefully checked her makeup on her face.

This woman was probably her future mother-in-law after marriage!

“Excuse me, you are…?” As the head of the Tang Family, Tang Xiangdong calmly stood up and asked.

The visitor was undoubtedly Ji Hong.

After hearing Tang Xiangdong’s words, she said calmly, “You don’t need to know who I am, you just need to know that the bride price was sent on my instructions.”

Although Tang Xiangdong had guessed it, he was still a bit excited when Ji Hong said this.

The Su Family had finally come; it was finally happening.

If Tang Siwen could marry into the Su Family, it would allow the Su Family to quickly invest in the Tang Family.

As long as the Tang Family had such a large family investing, there would be no need for him to be pressured by the West District project.

By then, Tang Qiulu’s position in the Tang Family, he could remove her with just a word.

“Have a seat,” Tang Xiangdong quickly said.

Tang Siwen hurried to introduce herself to Ji Hong: “I am Tang Siwen.

Are you my future mother-in-law?”

These words made Tang Qiulu couldn’t help but laugh.

Tang Siwen was really shameless for daring to say that!

How could she be so sure it was meant for her?

And calling Ji Hong mother-in-law, what a big joke.

“No need.

Where are the bride price items I previously had sent?” Ji Hong didn’t look at Tang Siwen but asked Tang Xiangdong.

“I gave them all to Tang Siwen.

Please rest assured, I haven’t taken a penny,” Tang Xiangdong replied.

“You?” Ji Hong looked at Tang Siwen and asked, “Where’s the bride price?”

“Mother-in-law, it’s all with me.

I’ve been taking care of the items you sent over every day,” Tang Siwen replied with a smile.

“Mother-in-law?” Ji Hong replied with a sneer, “I am not your mother-in-law.

I came this time to take the bride price back.”

Bang…

These words sounded like thunder in Tang Siwen’s ears.

Take the bride price back?

Why would it be this way?

Why would everything be taken away just like that?

There wasn’t much left of the cash Tang Siwen had spent, and she spent it naturally because she believed the bride price was meant for her.

In the past few days, she had experienced how the wealthy lived.

Now, how was she going to return it?

“Please don’t joke with me, mother-in-law.

Even though I don’t know who your son is, I would definitely agree to marry him,” Tang Siwen said.

“You agree to marry?

My son doesn’t care much for you.

Your beauty isn’t enough to attract my son,” Ji Hong said indifferently.

Tang Siwen’s body went limp, and she sat down on the ground.

These days, she had been daydreaming, dreaming that she really married into a wealthy family, dreaming of living a particularly luxurious life, and even Tang Qiulu thought that after she married into the Su Family, she would have diamonds encrusted on her cutlery the following year, but now, these dreams were all shattered!

“This…

could there be some misunderstanding?” Tang Xiangdong asked in confusion, why take the bride price back for no reason?

“Misunderstanding?

The bride price was never meant for her, where’s the misunderstanding?

It was just a figment of your imagination,” Ji Hong said.

“But…

but the bride price was initially sent to the Tang Family, wasn’t it?

Then if not for Tang Siwen, who else would it be for?” Tang Xiangdong asked, confused.

Among the Tang Family juniors, only Tang Siwen was a bit pretty.

If her son wasn’t interested in Tang Siwen, then there was even less need to talk about anyone else!

“All you need to know is that I’m taking the bride price back now, and you just need to return it all.

You have no right to ask about anything else,” Ji Hong said particularly assertively.

Tang Xiangdong gritted his teeth.

Although he knew the Su Family was formidable, the Tang Family wasn’t easy to bully either.

Moreover, the bride price had already been given; what reason does she have to take it back without explanation?

“You must give me an explanation,” Tang Xiangdong said.

“Explanation?” Ji Hong scoffed, “Who do you think you are to ask for an explanation from me?”

Tang Xiangdong’s face sank immediately.

He was the chairman of the Tang Group and could not be insulted in this way.

The other members of the Tang Family, upon hearing Ji Hong’s words, were equally displeased.

It embarrassed Tang Xiangdong and, by extension, the entire Tang Family.

“Who do you think you are, coming to the Tang Family and boasting so openly?”

“Go ask around Hai City, the Tang Family is not to be trifled with!”

“Don’t think that just because you have money, you can act high and mighty.

This is Hai City, not your place.”

A group of relatives became angry, each glaring at Ji Hong.

And Ji Hong, being a daughter-in-law of the Su Family, didn’t falter at all under such circumstances, gradually exuding a strong aura.

What’s a Superior?

The aura Tang Xiangdong tried to project couldn’t compare to Ji Hong’s at all.

“So, does this mean you’re not prepared to return the bride price?”

“At least give the Tang Family a satisfactory explanation.

It’s not that we’re unwilling to return it; money doesn’t matter to me,” Tang Xiangdong said.

“I’ll make sure you are satisfied,” Ji Hong said as she took out her phone.

In less than 30 minutes, several brothers from the Gu Family drove to the Tang Family Mansion.

Seeing this, Tang Xiangdong broke out in a cold sweat.

Who exactly was this woman?

With just a phone call, she summoned several members of the Hai City Gu Family.

Was this a joke?

The people who had just been shouting at Ji Hong now lowered their heads, not daring to make a peep.

They had initially thought that by being in Hai City, they could pressure Ji Hong, but never expected that with just one phone call, she could summon the very top of Hai City!

The Hai City Gu Family, the number one family in Hai City, in front of the Gu Family, the Tang Family was nothing more than an ant.

“So, are you satisfied now?” Ji Hong asked Tang Xiangdong.

Tang Xiangdong was now very pale, and the slumped Tang Siwen looked like she’d lost her soul.

Broken dreams weren’t the issue, but she had nearly spent all the bride price money, where could she find it now?

Now, Tang Xiangdong dared not show the slightest arrogance in front of Ji Hong.

What was the Tang Family compared to this woman, who could summon members of the Gu Family with a single phone call?

How could he afford to be arrogant?

“Tang Siwen, immediately send someone to bring back the bride price,” Tang Xiangdong said to Tang Siwen.

Now, with the Gu Family already here, if they didn’t hand over the bride price, the Tang Family would be in trouble, did explanations even matter?

The reality of power was right there; what explanation could you possibly need?

At this moment, Tang Siwen’s face was filled with despair, devoid of any blood.

The gold jade didn’t matter, but she had spent nearly all of the 8 million in cash; where would she get it back?
