Chapter 801
Zheng Hong did not care whether the matter of the bride price would ever end, because she had no say in it and could not help anyway.
But this time, having seen with her own eyes that her eldest sister was no longer what she used to be, she became even more determined in her idea to have her husband get on good terms with her.
That evening, as soon as Zheng Hong entered the room, she was pulled over by Shen Cheng. He placed the content on his phone in front of his wife and said excitedly, "My god, I just looked up online how much a thirty-two-carat diamond ring is worth."
"At least several hundred, at the very least!" Shen Cheng looked at Zheng Hong, greatly shocked. "And that's just the price of the diamond. A diamond over thirty carats is said to be extremely rare. If it's from a very famous brand, the price would multiply several times over. Shen Ci even said this is a limited edition. Don't you think the engagement ring alone must have cost the eldest sister several thousand?"
"What do you think?" Zheng Hong glared at him. Women were bound to know a little about these things; anything that carried a brand name would double in price. "The eldest sister is definitely going to marry into a wealthy family this time."
To be willing to spend so much money on an engagement ring showed that the man's economic strength was not to be underestimated.
There were many rich people in Longcheng. Even if the eldest sister was beautiful, she was still a mother in her forties with three children. To think she could find such a good man.
Shen Cheng was still immersed in the shock the eldest sister had brought him, counting on his fingers: "The eldest sister is carrying a bag worth several hundred, and I see the clothes she's wearing aren't cheap either; they look like designer goods at a glance. She's also wearing jade; that must be real too."
"Good heavens." Shen Cheng widened his eyes, looked at Zheng Hong, and grinned. "Every time the eldest sister walks down the street, she's wearing several thousand on her."
Zheng Hong felt the same as Shen Cheng; she was deeply shocked.
They had both underestimated how wealthy the eldest sister was now. After a long while, Shen Cheng came to his senses and grumbled with dissatisfaction, "She's so rich, yet last time I borrowed money from her, she was only willing to lend me fifty, and even made me write an IOU!"
As soon as Zheng Hong heard Shen Cheng's words, she hurriedly warned and reminded him, "Why are you still thinking about those petty gains? Do you really think the eldest sister cares about that fifty?"
"I'm telling you, we have to get on good terms with the eldest sister now—the kind of good terms between a real sister and a real brother. Stop always coveting the eldest sister's money."
"Once we're on good terms, many things will naturally fall into place. Keep your eyes on the long term. Our Taotao has good grades. When he gets into Longcheng for the college entrance exam this year, he'll be closer to the eldest sister. Won't the eldest sister take care of him?"
"I still think money is more practical. You're always thinking about those ethereal things." Shen Cheng curled his lips in disapproval.
Zheng Hong said angrily, "What's the use of money being practical if it's not yours? That's the eldest sister's money. How much can you squeeze out of her by putting on a shameless face? If she doesn't give it to you, won't you just be left staring?"
"I'm telling you, don't you dare offend the eldest sister with your shamelessness and ruin things for Taotao, or I'm not done with you!"
"Hurry up and go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, go buy some breakfast for the eldest sister and the others and send it to the hotel. Do you still remember what the eldest sister likes to eat?"
"How would I remember? Besides, the hotel has breakfast!"
"Just pretend you don't know. If you buy it and send it over, it shows you're thoughtful. If you buy it early in the morning, won't the eldest sister eat it?"
"Fine, I got it."
Shen Cheng was no longer very resistant to this; mainly because the eldest sister was truly too rich, and he didn't feel disgusted by taking the initiative to curry favor with her.
In the main house at the front, Shen Mingming and Wang Chunyan's room was clearly more spacious, and it even had a separate indoor bathroom.
Wang Chunyan walked out of the bathroom with her wet hair wrapped in a dry-hair cap, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Shen Mingming sitting on the edge of the bed, unwrapping the red envelopes for the three children. **CHAPTER 802: She Must Show Filial Piety to Me**
