Chapter 236 - 144: Found the Reason for the 10x Bride Price and Dowry

Chapter 236: Chapter 144: Found the Reason for the 10x Bride Price and Dowry

Such an understanding girlfriend.

He just had to put her to work for him.

The weather in Modu was fickle.

It had just been sunny for a moment, and now a downpour had started.

He didn’t know if the window was closed or not.

In any case, the heavy rain was drifting into the room.

It drifted onto one of the beds in the standard room.

And it seemed someone was street racing late at night.

The roar of an engine continuously echoed into the room.

...

「Early the next morning.」

Chen Mo woke up early and began his disciplined cardio workout.

After his high-intensity cardio session, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.

"Let’s go on a date today, okay?"

Pan Kejia languidly wrapped her arms around his waist. Her charming, coquettish face, still radiating an alluring air, looked up at him full of anticipation.

She and Chen Mo had been together for a while, but their relationship was still a secret.

They only ever met in hotels, at her place, or in the Xihe underground parking garage.

Although they had tried all sorts of "activities," they had never actually gone out together.

Since she had the day off, she wanted to go on a proper date with Chen Mo and have some fun.

"Not today. I have something this afternoon."

Chen Mo smiled and patted her head, stroking it dotingly as if she were a little kitten.

"What is it?"

A flash of disappointment crossed Pan Kejia’s beautiful eyes.

’Is he going to see Xia Shiqing?’

’Or that mysterious woman from last time who left her scent on his lips?’

"I’m going on a blind date this afternoon."

Chen Mo didn’t beat around the bush and told her directly.

"A blind date? You?"

Hearing this, Pan Kejia forgot all about her disappointment. Her eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief.

’Chen Mo needs to go on a blind date?’

’Never mind that he already had Xia Shiqing and her, plus another woman she didn’t know about.’

’That was already three women.’

’And just look at his family background, his personal abilities, and his looks that just seemed to get more handsome every time she saw him.’

’Someone like Chen Mo needed to go on a blind date?’

"Yeah, a neighbor set it up. Her family is offering a dowry worth ten times the betrothal gift. Wouldn’t you go check that out?"

Chen Mo chuckled, pinching her delicate nose.

"I’ll go back and have Old Pan prepare a tenfold dowry too. You might as well just have a blind date with me instead."

Pan Kejia wrapped her arms around Chen Mo’s neck, speaking in a half-joking, half-serious tone.

"I’m planning to offer a 100 million betrothal gift. Is Old Pan that capable?"

Chen Mo shot her a teasing smile.

’If Old Pan really had that kind of money, what was the point of a blind date?’

’He could just show up at their door to propose, with a bank card in one hand and Miss Pan in the other.’

"A 100 million betrothal gift?"

At his words, Pan Kejia’s beautiful eyes flew wide open, her charming face etched with shock.

’A 100 million betrothal gift, with a tenfold dowry...’

’Wouldn’t that be 1 billion?’

’Old Pan would probably have to sell everything he owns, even his Xihe shares, just to afford that dowry, right?’

’As expected of someone introduced by Chen Mo’s neighbor.’

’Their family was so much more powerful than hers.’

"I’m off. Get some rest."

Chen Mo kissed her on her fair, smooth forehead, then waved goodbye with a smile.

"Your blind date is this afternoon. It’s still early..."

Pan Kejia reached out and tugged on the corner of Chen Mo’s shirt, looking at him coquettishly and speaking in a wheedling tone.

"You little lightweight. So weak, yet you love to play."

Chen Mo shook his head and chuckled, no longer in a hurry to leave.

Since she wanted to get back on the racetrack, he would just have to accompany her for a few more laps.

...

At noon, they had lunch at the hotel.

Chen Mo and Pan Kejia left the hotel together.

Chen Mo drove back to his villa, while she returned to the house where her parents lived.

When she got home, she saw Old Pan and her mother sitting on the sofa watching TV.

When they saw their daughter suddenly show up at their place, they both looked surprised.

"Kejia, what made you decide to come home today?"

Mrs. Pan stood up and walked to the doorway, looking at her daughter as if she were a rare guest.

"I came to see you guys."

Pan Kejia put down her bag and swapped her high heels for a pair of slippers.

Old Pan stopped watching TV and looked dotingly at his precious daughter.

His little girl had been achieving great results at the company recently and was formally promoted to supervisor just yesterday.

Just last night, he and his wife were beaming with pride for their daughter.

After changing into her slippers, Pan Kejia went to the living room and sat down on the sofa next to Old Pan.

"Old Pan, when I get married, what multiple of the betrothal gift are you prepared to give as a dowry?"

Pan Kejia hugged Old Pan’s arm and asked her dear old dad with a smile.

"Marriage? How much of a dowry?"

Hearing this, both Old Pan and Mrs. Pan were taken aback.

’Why was she suddenly asking about this?’

’Could it be that their daughter wanted to get married?’

’She just started dating not long ago, right? Was she already at the stage of discussing marriage?’

’That was way too fast.’

"Kejia, are you thinking about getting married?"

Old Pan asked, looking at his daughter with some suspicion.

"No, I’m just asking in advance."

Pan Kejia shook her head and replied casually.

"A one-to-one match. If you really like him, we could give double."

Old Pan thought for a moment, giving his daughter an answer based on the local customs in Modu.

Hearing this, Pan Kejia’s face fell.

’As expected, double was the limit.’

"What if your son-in-law offered a 100 million betrothal gift?"

she asked again, curious.

"A 100 million betrothal gift?"

Old Pan and Mrs. Pan were stunned. Who gives a 100 million betrothal gift for a wedding?

’By that calculation, wouldn’t their family have to give a 200 million dowry?’

"You might as well sell your father and see if that gets you a 200 million dowry for your future husband."

Mrs. Pan found it a little amusing. Had her daughter come home specifically to joke around with them?

Old Pan also had a look of resignation on his face.

Their family had 200 million, but it was impossible for them to give it away as a dowry.

"Alright."

The last shred of hope in Pan Kejia’s heart was shattered.

"I’m going to my room to sleep."

She walked toward her room.
