After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

"My boyfriend took the initiative to meet my parents!"

"Wenwen, shouldn't you be happy?"

Onlooker Wang Xiaoyun chimed in again.

"But I always feel that these two messages don't seem like Dongdong's style."

Ma Wenwen stroked her chin, pondering, unsure of what to reply.

"Maybe your boyfriend's sister made him send them?"

Wang Xiaoyun guessed from the side.

"Yeah, that's possible."

Ma Wenwen also felt it might be the boyfriend's sister's idea. She had heard Dongdong mention his sister, who reportedly worked at Haojue Club and was part of the management.

Ma Wenwen had never been to Haojue Club, but she knew it was very luxurious and imagined you'd have to be no ordinary person to manage there.

She must be a career elite, and to blend in well at the club, probably someone very tactful!

Thinking of this, Ma Wenwen felt some pressure. Although she'd also been working for three years, her work environment couldn't compare to the complexity of the club.

"Why not ask for your parents' opinion?"

Onlooker Wang Xiaoyun suggested.

"Yeah, I'll go ask them."

Ma Wenwen also thought it best to consult her parents first. If they were willing to meet, they could discuss it. After all, whether it was the boyfriend's or his sister's idea, they both wanted to advance this relationship.

Lvcheng Community.

Ge Min was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, while her husband Ma Ziliang was chatting with her at the kitchen entrance.

"I think we should not interfere too much in Wenwen's love life."

"Sometimes it can even have the opposite effect. Perhaps she might have broken up after a while, but to defy us, she might end up getting married!"

As a middle school teacher, Ma Ziliang had dealt with many students with strong rebellious spirits, so he understood young people's psychology quite well.

Like those in his class who dated early—if he interfered too much, they'd often stay together longer. But if he left them alone, they'd break up after a while.

"I don't mind Wenwen dating."

"But she can't date a mute, can she?!"

"Someone who can't even talk, what's there to date?!"

Ge Min expressed her indignation.

"Sigh..."

Ma Ziliang sighed, "This child Wenwen, of all people to date, had to choose a mute!"

"That's indeed not reliable!"

At this, Ma Ziliang shook his head. Compared to his wife Ge Min, he was somewhat more lenient toward his daughter. He even thought the relationship with Yu Dongdong was not a problem, but he had to agree with his wife to have peace at home—a truth all married men understand.

Just then, the mobile phone in Ma Ziliang's hand suddenly rang.

"It's Wenwen."

Ma Ziliang didn't pick up immediately but instinctively looked at his wife.

"Tell her to come home for dinner."

"She can't seriously run away from home!"

Ge Min said as she put down the knife and leaned in closer.

Ma Ziliang then answered the call, cheerfully saying, "Wenwen, you're not working overtime today, right? Your mom is making your favorite braised pork ribs, hurry back after work to eat!"

"Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

"Dongdong's parents want to meet you to talk about the dowry!"

Ma Wenwen spoke straightforwardly.

"What?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Ma Ziliang was stunned; he had never thought about meeting the other family.

"Isn't that mute kid without parents?"

Ge Min took over the conversation.

"It's his sister and brother-in-law."

Ma Wenwen wasn't surprised her mom was right there; that was typical of Ge Min. It wasn't just her calls—sometimes Ge Min would even listen in on some of her colleagues' calls to her father.

Her mother had a strong desire to control, and both she and her father were targets of it.

"Sister, brother-in-law?"

Ge Min's eyes rolled around as she said, "I did say the other day, they'd need to pay a five million dowry. Do they know about it?"

"Can they even come up with that money to talk about the dowry?"

Ma Wenwen didn't continue the topic, instead saying, "Dongdong said they've booked a hotel, tonight at seven, at Clyde Hotel."

"If you want to go, then go; if not, I'll decline it."

Actually, Ma Wenwen was quite conflicted. She knew her mother too well—this meeting could very well end up unhappy, jeopardizing her relationship with Yu Dongdong even more.

Although she wasn't sure she really wanted to marry Yu Dongdong, they were happy together for now, and she recognized his character and wanted to continue their relationship, not planning to break up.

"Clyde Hotel?"

"Is that the one near Wanjia Supermarket?"

Ge Min's family lived quite close to Clyde Hotel, although she had never visited it, she often passed by it when shopping at Wanjia Supermarket.

"Yeah, that's the one!"

"Then let's go. It's not far from home, anyway."

"I want to see what they want to discuss!"

Ge Min originally had no intention to agree, determined not to let her daughter marry a disabled person, but the meeting place set in a luxurious five-star hotel piqued her interest somewhat, curious about what they intended.

"You've changed your mind?"

After Ge Min hung up, Ma Ziliang curiously asked.

"Clyde Hotel is close to our home anyway, so we might as well go and take a look. At the very least, we can enjoy a good meal, which saves us the trouble of cooking at home."
