Zhong Yaowen fawned with a smile, "Lingling, you still understand Dad the best. So, let's cut to the chase. Dad's a bit strapped for cash recently. When you entered the Xiang Family, did the two elders give you any welcoming gifts or anything like that?"
Zhong Lingling couldn't believe it. Her father was actually aiming for her money.
Sold into a wealthy family, she was already looked down upon by everyone in the Xiang Family. Her own family didn't prepare a dowry for her, and her father took all the betrothal money. She married into the Xiang Family empty-handed. And now, just a few days after her marriage, her father had the audacity to come to her for money.
"You already took the 300,000 betrothal money; why are you coming to me for more!" Zhong Lingling did receive the 'tea money' from Xiang Zongyin and his wife.
But her father was addicted to gambling, and she'd rather use the money to help others than give it to him.
