My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 542: A Dowry of 5 Million
"Brother, then come to the Longfeng Teahouse opposite the second people's hospital!"
Qin Wei'er named a place and then added, "Zhiheng has injuries on him, so he can't go too far."
"Mm, I understand, I'll come over now!"
Sigh...
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he sighed before putting down his phone. His most beloved sister now seemed to be wholeheartedly devoted to Du Zhiheng, leaving him feeling somewhat dejected and uncomfortable.
It was like the cabbages painstakingly grown by a farmer, only to be rooted up by a pig.
Before long.
Qin Yu hailed a taxi and arrived at the Longfeng Teahouse.
Qin Wei'er was wearing a white down jacket, jeans, and black boots, standing at the entrance and blowing warmth into her palms.
It had been snowing heavily in Jinling these past few days, and it was particularly cold. She was just an ordinary person and must have been feeling quite chilly.
"Wei'er, don't you know to wear more? Don't just think about looking pretty!"
Seeing his sister's little face red and chapped, Qin Yu couldn't help but scold her.
"The hospital has heating, I didn't feel it, who knew it would be so cold outside. Let's go in, brother!"
Qin Wei'er looped her arm through Qin Yu's, and the siblings entered the elevator.
Upon reaching the second floor, they entered a private room. Du Zhiheng was sitting in a wheelchair, with a blanket covering his thighs.
As soon as Qin Yu entered, he was greeted with a smile, "Big brother, I'm sorry for making you come out in such cold weather!"
"It's nothing, you got yourself injured while protecting Wei'er; as her brother, running an errand for her is nothing!"
Qin Yu waved it off as he spoke.
At the same time, he surreptitiously studied Du Zhiheng's complexion which indeed looked terrible, like that of someone who had sustained serious injuries.
He felt a bit puzzled. If Du Zhiheng was only coveting his sister's beauty and not truly in love with her, there would be no need to get into a conflict with thugs and end up severely wounded, right?
If this act of heroism was just a play put on by Du Zhiheng, it meant the man was extremely crafty and ruthless.
For a while, Qin Yu's feelings were somewhat complex, unable to determine whether Du Zhiheng's feelings for his sister were genuine or if it was a carefully orchestrated trap.
Helpless, due to the dark incidents he had encountered over the year, he couldn't help but to suspect the worst in people.
"Brother, have some tea!"
Qin Wei'er poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Qin Yu.
"Mm!"
Qin Yu took the cup of tea, and glancing between Du Zhiheng and his sister, he was the first to speak, "Are you planning to get married before the New Year?"
"Wei'er and I have already discussed it. The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month is a good date!"
Du Zhiheng said.
"Which means there are only five days left?"
Qin Yu calculated and then asked.
"Brother, Zhiheng's parents have been really good to me, and we don't need to prepare much on our end, only a wedding at the hotel. I've already called Dad, and he agreed to come to the provincial city with Aunt Zhou."
Qin Wei'er spoke.
"You didn't consult with me, your older brother, when setting the date, did you?"
Qin Yu felt a bit angry; Du Zhiheng and his sister weren't inviting him to discuss matters, they were merely informing him, going through the motions.
Originally, he had planned to investigate Du Zhiheng's family after dealing with the matter of Living Yama; something about them felt off inside and out.
But they had already set a date for the wedding, leaving me no chance to object.
With that thought, Qin Yu spoke gravely, "The matter of marriage has traditionally regarded the wishes of the parents and the matchmaker's words. My parents divorced a long time ago, and I have raised Wei'er since she was little. Has the Du Family sent a matchmaker to propose marriage and sought the opinion of me, her elder brother?"
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I was injured and in the hospital, I didn't think that much. How about this, I will immediately arrange for a matchmaker to come and propose. Moreover, a dowry of five million and an additional five percent of our company's shares, all will be handed over to you, big brother!"
Du Zhiheng's expression was sincere, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction and contempt in his tone. He thought that Qin Yu was being difficult at this moment, purely for money.
To him, just a bodyguard, a dowry of five million plus shares worth tens of millions would surely dazzle and confuse him.
"Do you think I'm selling my sister?"
Qin Yu's tone grew harsher.
This past year, he had dealt with all kinds of cunning and deceitful characters. Even though Du Zhiheng had masked it well, he could still sense the arrogance and disdain in his tone.
This indicated that he wasn't a man whose actions matched his words, so naturally, he wouldn't feel at ease handing over his sister to him.
"Big brother....."
Du Zhiheng's face became somewhat unsightly; he hadn't expected Qin Yu to speak so bluntly, leaving him no room to step down gracefully.
He felt a silent rage inside. Are you f*cking trying to get the money while also playing the moral high ground?

"Brother, Zhiheng and I are in a free love relationship, we don't need such a complicated process, right?"
Qin Wei'er also chimed in.
To her, Du Zhiheng was one of the few men she had met who didn't repulse her. Furthermore, he had suffered serious injuries because of her. Such a man was rare enough; there was no need to be overly picky.
"Wei'er, big brother is right, we should follow the proposal and dowry customs. Big brother, if you think the dowry is too small, I can add another two million in cash," said Du Zhiheng, in a very understanding manner.
"Du Zhiheng, do you still believe that I am after your money?"
Qin Yu stared into Du Zhiheng's eyes, his attitude of throwing money at the problem no different from those spoiled young masters he had encountered before.
"Big brother...."
Du Zhiheng's eyelids twitched twice, almost cursing out loud before he asked sullenly, "What do you want me to do to satisfy you, I will follow your arrangements!"
"The marriage is postponed unless you can pass my test!" Qin Yu declared firmly.
"Big brother, this is a bit too much! My parents have already notified the friends and relatives in the Du Family, and even the hotel is booked!" Du Zhiheng said, suppressing his anger.
"Brother... can you come out for a moment?"
Qin Wei'er, biting her lip, tugged at Qin Yu's arm, and they walked out of the private room.
They didn't stop until they reached the fire escape, and then Qin Wei'er pointed to her chest and said, "Brother, have you ever felt such a wrenching pain here that you couldn't sleep at night?"
"Yes!"
Qin Yu nodded his head.
During those dark days when Yan Mingyu left him, his chest was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep.
"Then you should understand how excruciating that feeling is. I've been struck by the Love Gu, and I can only ever love you in this life, but can you divorce your wife and marry me? If you can't, please let me marry Zhiheng. Only then can I forget you and not have such pain in my chest that keeps me awake all night long. Brother, I'm begging you!" Qin Wei'er held Qin Yu's hand with tears in her eyes.
"Sigh...."
Qin Yu let out a deep sigh. The Love Gu was one of Miaojiang's most formidable gu poisons, without a cure. He was already married to Yan Mingyu, and his sister could only pine for him unrequitedly; he knew without asking that it was an absolute torment.
Thinking this, Qin Yu reluctantly nodded, "Fine, marry Du Zhiheng."
