Chapter 619 Mersington Surrounded by Onlookers
"Dad, I'm embarrassed to accept it, it's Mom..."
When Xu Zhiyi learned about the 10 billion yuan dowry, her first thought was that she couldn't accept it, but her mother-in-law insisted on giving it to her.
"Erchen, please tell your mother that we can't accept so much betrothal gift. We already owe you too much kindness. As long as you and Zhizhi live a good life together, it doesn't matter whether there is a betrothal gift or not. If your mother really wants to give it, then give Zhizhi 88,000 yuan! That's more reasonable."
Xu Lanshan firmly refused the 10 billion yuan dowry.
"Dad, listen to me, don't rush to refuse."
"Morchen said hastily."
"You said."
“Dad, our Mo family is a top-tier wealthy family in Country C. When we marry off our son, the bride price is a must; it's a rule of wealthy families. Besides, 10 billion is a token of my parents' love for Zhizhi, and it's a heartfelt gift that you and Zhizhi can't refuse. Moreover, my sister-in-law, Cheng Sinuo, also received a 10 billion bride price, just like Zhizhi. You can't let outsiders gossip and say that my mother is biased and looks down on Zhizhi by giving such a small bride price. It would just make Zhizhi a laughing stock among the Xu family's relatives and friends, and make her unable to hold her head up in front of them, right?”
Mo Erchen grasped his father-in-law's heartache for his daughter and his desire to humiliate the Xu family's relatives, and said this.
As expected, these words made Xu Lanshan lower his head and remain silent.
Mo Erchen's scheme succeeded, and a smile curved his lips.
"Alright then, but I can't accept this money. You and Zhizhi can keep it. You'll need money to raise your child in the future."
Her father's words made Xu Zhiyi blush.
She had just gotten married when her father was already thinking about her having a baby.
Mo Erchen was secretly delighted; his father-in-law was actually encouraging him to have a child! He liked that.
Outside the ward, Xu Lanshan's attending physician, accompanied by several nurses, walked to the ward door, preparing to examine Xu Lanshan, and happened to overhear these words.
The doctors and nurses were stunned.
A dowry of 10 billion? That's an astronomical figure they can't even imagine.
Moreover, there are so many properties, jewelry, private jets, and yachts.
Xu Zhiyi is even luckier than winning the lottery!
They could work their whole lives and still not have 10 billion.
Several nurses looked on with envy and jealousy.
A nurse secretly posted the story in the nurses' group chat, which immediately caused a huge uproar.
So that night, nurses and doctors took turns coming to Xu Lanshan's ward, using various excuses to get close to Mo Erchen.
Some patients' family members even secretly came to the ward, ostensibly to visit Xu Lanshan, but actually to curry favor with Mo Erchen and pave the way for their niece and daughter.
They thought that even if they couldn't be the legal wife, they could still make a fortune by having their daughters or nieces as lovers to Mo Erchen.
This left Merschen completely bewildered.
He quickly realized what was happening and called the Mo family bodyguards to stand guard outside the ward, preventing anyone from entering.
Xu Lanshan and Xu Zhiyi also understood that these people all had ill intentions towards Mo Erchen.
Xu Lanshan's relaxed mood turned to worry again.
The son-in-law is of high status, and these people are probably eyeing him and the Mo family's money. This could have a significant impact on the relationship between the daughter and son-in-law.
Even if a son-in-law is virtuous and upright, there will still be people who try to seduce him.
He couldn't help but ponder whether marrying his daughter into a wealthy family was the right or wrong decision.
Xu Zhiyi also began to ponder. Because of her husband's high status and position, this kind of thing would definitely happen many more times in the future. How should she handle it?
"Honey, don't worry. I'll nip some things in the bud, just like a mother would. I'll give you a huge sense of security and I'll never betray you."
Moersen was very clever; he had already seen through his father-in-law and wife's worries.
"Yes, I believe you, honey."
Xu Zhiyi smiled.
Now that you've married him, you should trust him.
Besides, she was once a daughter of a wealthy family and knew that such things were commonplace in wealthy families; the key was her husband's attitude and how he handled it.
She believed that her husband, Mo Erchen, would handle these matters well, and besides, she had the strong support of her parents-in-law.
"Dad, don't worry. I'm not the kind of rich kid who's fickle and doesn't care about Zhizhi's feelings. I'll handle things properly. I promise I won't hurt Zhizhi. Besides, my parents are there to support me. They love Zhizhi very much and would never let her get hurt."
After comforting his wife, Mo Erchen went to give his father-in-law a shot of adrenaline.
“Son-in-law, I believe you can handle these dirty matters, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so you still need to be careful.”
Xu Lanshan breathed a slight sigh of relief after receiving his son-in-law's assurance.
He instructed his son-in-law to be careful to prevent such things from happening.
What he was concerned about was whether his daughter would be harmed.
"I will take precautions, Dad."
That night, the three of them were each preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Mo Erchen asked the dean to arrange for a large bed to be delivered to his father-in-law's VIP suite. After he and Xu Zhiyi finished taking care of his father-in-law's IV drip and washed up, the two of them lay down on the bed in the suite.
Mo Erchen was a little nervous about getting up close to his beloved little woman for the first time.
Seeing Mo Erchen's nervous expression, Xu Zhiyi suddenly found it a little funny.
"Honey, we can't do anything here!"
"I know this is a hospital, I won't be that beastly. Although I really want to have you soon, I don't want to do it in this kind of environment. I'll wait until our manor is renovated and we move in before..."
"Huh? You bought a house for your wedding? Aren't we going to live in the old house with Mom and Dad, my younger brother and sister?"
Xu Zhiyi was a little confused.
In her mind, once married, she would live with her in-laws to build a relationship, rather than settling into a separate home.
Isn't that how it is in wealthy families?
“Silly wife, can’t we have some time alone? How can we manage with so many people living in the old house? Don’t worry, the manor is very close to the old house, and also close to the villa I prepared for Dad and Grandma. We can go home to see them anytime.”
Mo Erchen kissed his wife on the lips.
Will my parents agree?
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad are very open-minded and won't force us to live in the old house. They also want to have their grandchildren soon!"
One sentence from her husband made Xu Zhiyi blush.
We just got married and haven't even had the wedding ceremony yet. My husband and father are both looking forward to the baby, as are my in-laws.
"Alright then, is the manor still under renovation? We'll have to wait another year before we can move in."
"No need. The manor is my private property. It was renovated a long time ago. I just made some minor modifications according to your preferences, and I used the best environmentally friendly materials."
"You've already prepared the wedding room? Who are you planning to marry?"
Xu Zhiyi asked this question on purpose.
"Silly wife, of course it's prepared for you! I know that sooner or later I will meet you, marry you, and move in with you."
"Yeah, right. You're making this for another woman, aren't you?"
Xu Zhiyi was joking.
"I have never liked anyone else, no childhood sweetheart, no white moonlight, I only have you, I only love you, and it will always be the same."
Mo Erchen confessed his feelings and kissed Xu Zhiyi's lips.
