Chapter 822: The Wedding (4)

The elderly couple stood facing each other with a look of bitterness and great resentment on their faces.
The bank simply wouldn’t allow their sudden request for withdrawal of 8.88 million dollars in cash.
The gift had come too late to be on time for this.
Now, they were unable to get 9.99 million for the dowry overnight.
Moreover, returning the 8.88 million check as part of the dowry would not look good.
Even if everyone knew that the 9.99 million dowry included a monetary gift of 8.88 million dollars by the Shen family, a family that was more particular would find that embarrassing.
What could they do now then?
Xia Nuannuan understood the plight her parents were facing and her heart ached for them.
She said, “Dad, Mom, actually you really don’t have to fret. The marriage is something between Zihao and I, and has little to do with dowry and monetary gifts.”
Dad Xia frowned and said, “Nonsense! The dowry that accompanies you into the Shen family signifies that our daughter does not lack anything and is not dependent on his family. This is so that you can stand tall and proud!”
At this point he grunted and sighed again. “I think I shall take a walk and think of a solution.”
Sensing his frustration, Xia Nuannuan bit her lip.
Her father had never been to Beijing, what sort of solution could he find here?
She said, “Dad, let me think of a solution.”
–
It was already 9 p.m. when Qiao Lian received a call from Xia Nuannuan.
The skies had darkened. She was startled when she looked at her cell phone screen.
The wedding was the next day. Something must have happened for Xia Nuannuan to be calling so late at night.
After she picked up the call, Xia Nuannuan explained the situation and finally said, “I have a check here for 8.88 million and I can’t cash it. But I have no other friends in Beijing…”
By now she was at her wits’ end and it showed on her face.
Qiao Lian was most understanding and said to her, “Don’t panic. Let me talk to Shen Liangchuan, I’m sure there’s a solution.”
Without hanging up, she walked to his study.
Because of the urgency of the situation, she entered the room without knocking.
She saw him sitting on a chair, staring at a vial of pills in his hand.
Stunned for a moment, she finally stepped forward and asked, “What are the pills for?”
Shen Liangchuan looked at her and for a fraction of a second, there was a flash of panic in his eyes. Then, very quickly, he put the vial back into his drawer calmly and steadily. He said, “Vitamins. You’re here to look for me? What’s the matter?”
After this quick change of topic, Qiao Lian spoke at once. She pointed at the cell phone and told him about Xia Nuannuan’s situation.
He stood up and picked up his jacket. “Tell her I’m coming over right now.”
After hanging up, they went to the hotel. She took a long look at Shen Liangchuan. She realized that he was the sort of person that was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Although he didn’t think highly of Shen Zihao, when it came to his wedding, he would readily help Xia Nuannuan to think of a solution. For sure, he was doing this for the sake of Shen Zihao.
With Shen Liangchuan coming to the rescue, in no time a check of 9.99 million in Xia Nuannuan’s name was issued.
Even though Dad Xia felt really bad about this, he was truly grateful towards Shen Liangchuan.
After Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian had left, Dad Xia looked straight at Xia Nuannuan and gave her his earnest and most sincere advice, “The way I see it, that stepmother in the Shen family is difficult to ward off. In the future, try to keep frequent contact with Shen Zihao’s real mother. After all, they are blood-related. If there came a time you two ever need any help, perhaps his own mother and brother would be the only people you could turn to.”
