Had to Pay The Price For Overpromise

Before this, Zhao Jinxing might have yearned for her father's meticulous care. She could have been moved by his occasional concern. But now, in the face of this fawning care, she felt deeply annoyed. She was about to puke and could hardly swallow Madam Zhang's dishes. She put her chopsticks down after a short while.

Qin Yu glanced at her and didn't say much. He tried to ignore Zhao Hong's flattery while he quickly finished up his plate. In less than 20 minutes, the family banquet was over.

"It's getting late. You should have a good rest today. Tomorrow, I'll get a lawyer to tell you about the inheritance."

Zhao Hong ordered Madam Zhang to tidy up the room on the second floor. Then, he locked up the cash box in the living room. He was going to keep them in the bank later.

Zhao Jinxing's eyes narrowed. Her lips curled up slightly as she said, "Father, Qin Yu gave these betrothal gifts to me. I'll take care of them."

She purposely emphasized the words "to me". Zhao Hong was a little embarrassed, but he still maintained his smile. "Of course, I won't take away my daughter's betrothal gifts!"

"But hey, there's a lot of money. It's not safe for a girl to keep it. I'll put it in the safe for you. When you need this money in the future, just let me know!"

"It's okay. Grandpa has opened some safe boxes for me in the bank. I have a few empty ones left. I've called the bank and asked them to deposit this money tonight!"

Hearing this, Zhao Hong finally lost his composure. "Jinxing, what do you mean? You don't even trust your own father?"

"Of course not," Zhao Jinxing smiled, "I'm doing this for your reputation. People might think that you're embezzling your daughter's betrothal gift if they see this. Won't it become a joke? Oh right, since the betrothal gift is here, don't you have to give dowry as well?"

"Uh..." Zhao Hong didn't expect to be checkmated.

"Jinxing, don't talk to your elders this way."

Qin Yu who was standing at the side suddenly spoke up for Zhao Hong, "Mr. Zhao said that you're the little princess of the family. You have all the best food and clothes. Mr. Zhao will definitely go all in to prepare a dowry for you. Don't worry, it'll be much more than my betrothal gift."

After saying this, Qin Yu took a look at Zhao Hong, "What do you say?"

A dowry that was more than the betrothal gift... Zhao Hong clenched his teeth so hard. Although Zhenting Group was worth over a billion, nobody could withdraw so much ready cash. On top of that, counting in the houses and luxury cars, it would cost more than one to two hundred million...

One to two hundred million!

Just thinking about it made Zhao Hong have a heart attack.

However, he could not refute in front of Qin Yu. After all, he said it himself just now. If he took back his words, it would be a big shame!

"Yes, you're right. I will give more than that!"

"Zhao Hong!" Chen Ping was extremely anxious.

Chen Ping knew it best about how much money they had. If they were to give away so many things to Zhao Jinxing as a dowry, there would be nothing left for Jinxiu later!

"Shut up!" Zhao Hong berated her. He glared angrily at Chen Ping!

He had to pay the price for what he had overpromised!

Thank you then, Father!" Zhao Jinxing thanked him sincerely this time.
