Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Dowry

After Lin Zhiyi accepted Sang Li’s proposal, she initially thought that a simple dinner with both parents would suffice.

However, Sang Li said she deserved a proper ceremony.

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t argue with him and agreed to hold an engagement ceremony.

But it could only be a small ceremony, and they would not invite the big shots from their circle.

She feared her own identity might make it difficult for Sang Li.

Sang Li agreed as well.

After deciding, Lin Zhiyi stayed calm for two days before she told Liu He about the proposal.

The next day, Liu He came to find her early in the morning.

As soon as she entered, Liu He looked at her face from left to right and somewhat disdainfully said, "Why does your skin seem a bit dry?"

Lin Zhiyi touched her cheek: "Maybe it’s the change of seasons."

Liu He stuffed a beauty salon card into her hand: "I’ve added money to it, remember to go for regular maintenance."

Lin Zhiyi looked down at the black card in her hand, this beauty salon is one of the top in Jing City.

The base amount for the black card is one million.

"Mom, you..."

Before she could finish, Liu He pulled a thin envelope from her bag.

"This is the dowry I’ve prepared for you."

"Dowry?"

Lin Zhiyi hesitantly opened the envelope and pulled out a check.

The figure on it was...

"Three million!" Lin Zhiyi’s eyes widened, she recounted the figures in shock.

"That’s not all." Liu He raised an eyebrow and smiled, pulling two property titles from her bag, "These are also for you, if you don’t like them you can sell and choose anew."

Lin Zhiyi opened the property titles, dumbstruck.

Although the properties are not large, the locations are good, each worth around three million.

Adding it all up, Liu He had abruptly produced nearly ten million as a dowry for her.

With a check in one hand and property titles in another, Lin Zhiyi felt like she was dreaming, her voice didn’t even sound real: "Mom, did you rob a bank?"

In their previous life, although Gong Shiyan and Liu He held the titles of Second Young Master and Second Madam of the Gong Family, they struggled with daily expenses as the old patriarch intentionally made things difficult for them, faring even worse than other Gong family relatives.

Recently, Lin Zhiyi heard that because Gong Shiyan insisted on living outside with Liu He, many of his private assets were seized by the old patriarch, naturally affecting their profit shares as well.

Logically, their life should have deteriorated.

How could Liu He still procure so much money?

"What are you mumbling about, child?" Liu He was beaming with joy, smiling ear to ear.

Lin Zhiyi worriedly said: "Mom, you didn’t take this from the Gong Family for my dowry, did you? You should return it quickly. If the old patriarch finds out, he will certainly..."

"No." Liu He interrupted, seriously stating, "I earned it myself."

"Earned? Did you find a job?"

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t fathom any job that in just a few days would earn so much money.

Liu He covered her mouth and chuckled: "Do you still remember Aunt Jiang?"

Lin Zhiyi thought back.

She indeed recalled such a person.

Before Liu He married, she had a colleague surnamed Jiang who often bought treats for Lin Zhiyi.

She was eloquent and was the best performer among Liu He’s colleagues.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t know why but she resigned and left Jing City afterwards.

"What does this have to do with Aunt Jiang?" Lin Zhiyi countered.

"She went elsewhere to work and made a fortune back then. She returned to Jing City this time to invest and introduced me to a great project. I just invested a little and it already returned several times more, just in time for your dowry."

Liu He pressed Lin Zhiyi’s hand, indicating her to keep all the things safe.

In the past, Lin Zhiyi had heard from Liu He that Aunt Jiang was always all about making money, very flexible.

Making a huge profit was no surprise at all.

But this turn of good fortune, almost like a gift in sleep, made Lin Zhiyi somewhat worried.

"Mom, is the project reliable? Have you consulted uncle? He would definitely understand."

"No, I know what you want to say. I wasn’t greedy, just tried it with a bit of my private savings. It just coincided with your engagement, so I took it out for your dowry. After the engagement, I will stop investing."

Liu He clearly didn’t take it seriously, feeling that it was merely her own savings at stake, completely unrelated to the Gong Family.

If there was a profit to be made later, she’d hand it over to Gong Shiyan.
