Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 529 - 510: All Counted as Dowry

Cheng Rouyin and Lin Shiyi hurried downstairs to tell Lin Kunhuai about this matter. Lin Kunhuai was so enraged that he smashed a cup on the spot.

"Damn it! I poured so much energy and time into raising my daughter, only for some random woman who she’s known for barely any time to swoop in and take such a huge advantage. I won’t accept this! Let’s go, we’ll go find Cheng Roning right now and sort this out. Fifty billion—at the very least, she’d better give me half!" Lin Kunhuai was visibly agitated, desperately searching for ways to solve his company’s financial troubles.

Now, a golden opportunity was right in front of him, and there was no way he was going to let it slip by.

Cheng Rouyin, being a woman consumed by greed, was completely on board. The thought of causing a scene and walking away with twenty-five billion was enough to make her laugh even in her dreams. She strongly supported her husband in demanding the money from Cheng Roning.

"Dad, if we’re going to go, now’s the best time. The Huo Family might still be at Cheng Roning’s house having lunch," Lin Shiyi said anxiously. In truth, she wasn’t just eager to stir up trouble for the money—she also wanted to see Huo Yanting.

After all, he had been her long-time crush for several years. Even if she couldn’t spend her life with him, she at least wanted to see him a few more times to ease her heart.

The Lin family hopped in their car, and with urgency and determination, headed off to find Cheng Roning.

It was Chu Tingting who had given them Cheng Roning’s address.

Meanwhile, at the Meng Family’s home, Meng Bowen and his wife were astonished and taken aback by the sheer amount of wedding gifts.

After discussing with Meng Bowen, Cheng Roning decided not to accept such an extravagant dowry.

Even though Lin Banxia was her daughter, the fact that she had been taken away as a child and had grown up apart from her had always left her feeling painfully guilty. As such, she resolved not to accept the dowry.

"Banxia, Yanting, we’ll just treat this fifty billion dowry as your wedding gift and return it all to you. We really can’t accept it!" Cheng Roning resolutely handed the dowry back.

Huo Yanting and Lin Banxia were both a bit surprised, but Old Sir Huo chuckled and said, "It’s often said Mrs. Cheng conducts business with strict integrity. Though today’s matter isn’t business, your decision shows you’re an admirable and respectable mother, Mrs. Cheng. Please don’t refuse any further. In our Huo Family, when we marry, there’s absolutely no such thing as offering nothing. This is our tradition and our honor."

Huo Yanting earnestly pleaded, "Auntie, this money is given out of respect for you, so I hope you’ll accept it."

Mrs. Cheng knew that outright refusal in such a situation would indeed be impolite, so she nodded reluctantly, "Alright, I’ll accept it for now. But when Banxia joins the family, I’ll still return it as a gift."

Lin Banxia gazed at her mother gratefully, filled with both tenderness and touched by the loving care conveyed in her words.

Her eyes brimmed with emotion as tears threatened to fall.

Regarding the dowry, the two families reached an agreement. Old Sir Huo chose to respect Mrs. Cheng’s final decision and refrained from interfering further. Ultimately, how the fifty billion would be handled was left entirely up to her.

By noon, Cheng Roning prepared a lavish lunch to treat the Huo family’s distinguished guests.

The family sat together in the living room, happily enjoying their meal in a harmonious atmosphere.

Lin Banxia looked at the scene in front of her, overcome with emotions. She was truly happy and hoped they could continue to coexist peacefully forever.

However, just as the meal was halfway through, a servant rushed in and reported, "Madam, there’s a family outside saying they want to see you."
