I'm back in 1990

Chapter 680: A Visit to Explain

After politely saying goodbye to the driver who brought them back, Cheng's parents and Cheng Jing returned to their home. At that moment, Cheng's eldest daughter, Cheng Li, and the youngest daughter, Cheng Ling, were in the living room.

Upon seeing the three enter, Cheng Ling immediately jumped up, greeting them while asking, "Oh! You're back? Dad, Mom, Fourth Sister, how are Fourth Sister's parents? Are they easy to get along with?"

Cheng's father remained silent as he carefully placed the black leather suitcase he was carrying on his old coffee table.

Cheng Li looked puzzled. They'd only gone out for a meal and she'd brought back such a large suitcase! So she pointed at the suitcase and asked, "Dad! What's this?"

Cheng Ling was also very curious about the suitcase. She reached out and patted it, saying in a self-important tone, "Is Hua Hong Restaurant this high-class? They even use leather suitcases for takeout? What kind of delicious food is in here?"

Cheng's mother glared at her youngest daughter, annoyed: "All you know is how to eat. This is the dowry your brother Erhe's parents gave to your fourth sister."

"Bride price?" Cheng Li and Cheng Ling were both stunned.

A little while later, Chengli asked, "Mom, did you ask them for a bride price?"

Cheng Jing then spoke up: "It wasn't our parents who wanted it; it was Erhe's parents who insisted on giving it to us. We said no to it no matter how many times we said no, but it was no use."

Cheng's mother kept rubbing her temples in distress. "They just arranged for a car to bring us back with this suitcase. I can't just leave this suitcase on the street!" Cheng's mother was also having a headache about how to handle this matter. She had wanted the driver to take the suitcase back, but the driver turned pale and said that if he took it back, he would lose his job. Helpless, Cheng's mother had to let Cheng's father take the suitcase home.

Cheng Ling, being young, naturally became curious about the contents of the box upon hearing this. She squatted down beside the coffee table, touching the box, and asked, "How much dowry did Aunt Huang give Fourth Sister? I saw Dad struggling to carry it earlier!"

Cheng's mother looked at Cheng Jing, then at Cheng's father, who also looked worried. Seeing that neither of them spoke, she said helplessly, "There's one million one hundred and ten thousand yuan inside, plus ten gold bars and some jewelry."

As she spoke, Cheng's mother opened the suitcase, revealing ten bundles of brand-new red 100-yuan bills with bank seals, still smelling of new ink. Next to them were ten neatly stacked gold bars, each engraved with ICBC and 100g. There were also several purplish-red velvet jewelry boxes. Putting aside the boxes, the mere sight of this million yuan stunned Cheng Li and Cheng Ling.

Back in 2005, how many ordinary families in Shanghai had ever seen a pile of 100-yuan bills? Especially a full 1.01 million.

Cheng Ling was so frightened that she was almost incoherent. To be honest, this was the first time in her life she had seen so much money laid out in front of her. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at the money and asked, "Did Aunt Huang give this to you?"

Cheng's father took out a pack of peony cigarettes, lit one, and frowned. He never expected that his fourth daughter's divorced boyfriend would have such a powerful background. The difference in their social standing was too great, and he was worried about his daughter.

Cheng Li, being the eldest sister, was more composed. Although her heart had raced because of the contents of the box, she quickly calmed down.

However, she immediately guessed that the Huang family was definitely not an ordinary family. Grabbing Cheng Jing's arm, she asked with a serious expression, "Fourth Sister, what exactly is going on? What does the Erhe family do?"

At this moment, Cheng Jing was filled with mixed feelings. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. She recalled the time when she was dating Huang Erhe. Back then, Huang Erhe seemed very ordinary, except that he had a car and a house, but he had the kind of personality that didn't like to show off. Cheng Jing liked Huang Erhe's personality.

The world depicted by Sijiucai (a pseudonym) can be found in "1990 I'm Back".

But now

She had worries in her heart: how would Migo and Maowa get along in the future? She worried about the many rules of a wealthy family and whether she could adapt to them.

She originally wanted to find someone she could entrust her life to and live a peaceful life with, but she never expected to meet someone from a wealthy family.

She finally told her older sister Cheng Li, "Erhe's younger brother is the university professor who resigned and became Asia's richest man, Huang Xiaochuan, who was mentioned in the newspapers a few years ago."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Li and Cheng Ling were immediately stunned, unable to connect Huang Erhe with the richest man in Asia.

After a moment, Cheng Li calmed down and asked for confirmation, "My younger brother?"

Cheng Jing nodded: "My younger brother!"

Having recovered her senses, Cheng Ling clutched her chest and exclaimed, "My God! My fourth brother-in-law is actually the older brother of Huang Xiaochuan, Asia's richest man?!"

She then asked her fourth sister for confirmation: "So, Times Supermarket belongs to his brother?"

Cheng Jing nodded.

"Is that Guangda Real Estate Building on the Huangpu River also owned by my fourth brother-in-law's younger brother?"

Cheng Jing nodded again.

Cheng Ling felt a little breathless and the world was spinning.

At this moment, Chengli said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, should I call Yishan, Yiwu, and my third sister? Let them come back. We need to discuss this matter properly."

After stubbing out his cigarette, Cheng's father said, "Go ahead and call! Don't tell them about this on the phone. Tell them when they get back. No one is allowed to tell anyone outside our family. If they dare to talk about it outside, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Okay!" Cheng Li replied and then went to call her younger brother and sister.

Not long after, Huang Erhe arrived. He had rushed over after sending his parents home. He knew that his younger brother would definitely cause a great shock to the Cheng family, and he was also a little worried, so he made a special trip to the Cheng family to put their minds at ease.

Upon hearing the knock, Cheng Ling opened the door, muttering to herself, "Back so soon?" She assumed it was her older siblings who had rushed back after receiving a call from their eldest sister.

Unexpectedly, upon opening the door, she saw Huang Erhe and exclaimed with delight, "Fourth Brother-in-law?"

As they spoke, she quickly stepped aside to let Huang Erhe into the house, calling out, "Fourth brother-in-law is here!"

Cheng's father glared at his youngest daughter, annoyed. The house was only so big, and the group had already seen Huang Erhe.

"Erhe's here! Come and sit down!" Cheng's father raised his hand and beckoned Huang Erhe to sit down next to him.

After Huang Erhe sat down, Cheng's father pointed to the box on the coffee table: "Erhe! Take this box back later and talk to your parents for me. There's really no need for this. We're willing to entrust Cheng Jing to you because we value you as a person, not because of these things."

Cheng's mother also said, "Yes! We know your parents' intentions, and we are grateful that they value our Cheng Jing so much. But please return this box to them for us. We really don't need it. We just want you and Cheng Jing to live a good life together from now on."

Cheng Li nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Erhe, you should listen to your parents about this."

Huang Erhe said sincerely, "Uncle, Aunt, and eldest sister, please listen to me for a few minutes, okay?"

Cheng's father nodded, and the rest of the Cheng family looked at Huang Erhe, wanting to hear what he had to say.
