Having an argument?
Lu Nanze had gotten into an argument with Shen Liangchuan at their wedding?
Qiao Lian suddenly felt nervous. Could it be that Lu Nanze had still not accepted the facta and was now causing trouble again?
With this thought, she stood up, hitched up her gown and walked towards the doorway.
When she got to the doorway, she saw Shen Liangchuan and Lu Nanze in front, exchanging words in a low voice, apparently in some sort of disagreement.
Fortunately the wedding ceremony had not started. Qiao Lian glanced at the people around, lowered her head and walked briskly to the two men.
As she approached, she could hear them saying:
“We can’t accept this money,” that was Shen Liangchuan speaking.
Lu Nanze replied, “This is not for you, it’s for her.”
“She’s my wife, and I’m saying we can’t accept it so that’s that.”
Lu Nanze was unfazed. “This is my wedding gift to her, what right do you have?”
The groom laughed icily. “Well then, Mr. Lu, who are you to give her this wedding gift?”
Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes.
At this point, Qiao Lian had caught up with what was going on. She cleared her throat and squeezed her way through to the men.
Then she said, “What’s going on?”
Lu Nanze lowered his head and said unhurriedly, “I’ve got you a wedding gift, Mr. Shen here is refusing to accept it. This is hilarious, I’ve never heard of the groom’s family rejecting wedding gifts from the bride’s family.”
Qiao Lian: …
Qiao Lian tugged at Shen Liangchuan and said, “It’s just some money. Let’s just accept it. The man doesn’t lack money anyway.”
She knew Lu Nanze too well.
He was as stubborn as an ox.
If they didn’t accept it, today’s wedding event could end up being spoiled.
As the thought ran through her mind, Shen Liangchuan frowned and said after a considerable pause, “It’s not just some money.”
It wasn’t just some?
How much was that then?
A few million?
The fact was that even if it was a few tens of millions, it was pocket change to people like them, what more a few million. Why was Shen Liangchuan being so picky today? The problem would be resolved if he just accepted it without making a fuss.
She was going to speak again when Shen Liangchuan held something out to her.
She glanced down at it and at once she was shocked.
Because it wasn’t a few million dollars, nor was it a few tens of millions. It was a transfer of shares document.
It was written on the document that Lu Nanze would transfer ten percent of the Lu family enterprise’s shares as a wedding gift to her.
Ten percent!
Currently, the Lu family enterprise’s estimated value on the market was a few billion.
In other words, ten percent would amount to a few hundred million.
That was a rather hefty wedding gift to say the least.
Qiao Lian frowned and turned to Lu Nanze, asking for a clarification, “Second Brother, what do you mean by this?”
The man looked at her for a while and then said, “You may think of it as the Lu family’s compensation to the Qiao family.”
Qiao Lian lowered her head when she heard these words.
There were no doubts about it, the Lu family had done wrong to the Qiao family.
But these shares…
She finally understood why Shen Liangchuan was declining them.
If she accepted the gift, from that point on, it would create an inextricable relationship between herself and Lu Nanze. They would be the Lu family enterprise’s shareholders and Lu Nanze would have countless excuses to look for her, imposing himself into their lives.
But honestly…
The Lu family owed her this money.
The Qiao family’s business at the time had been worth a few hundred million indeed.
So from this perspective, these shares weren’t unreasonable. So should she accept this compensation?
If she did that, then it was going to be hard to draw a clean line between them in the future. She would have preferred it a whole lot more if he had simply given her a check.
At once, she found herself in a conundrum.
