Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Qiao Bing decided to tell her sister Qiao Xue the truth, but since Qiao Xue had gone out, she decided to put it off for now.

She thought it wouldn't be long before her sister returned.

So whether she told her a little earlier or a little later didn't make much difference.

After Qiao Xue left, Chu Yunxiu said to her daughter Qiao Bing, "Little Bing, the day after tomorrow is Xiaoxue and Tiance's big wedding, won't Lin Dong show up at all?"

"Be honest with mom, where's Lin Dong? Is he intentionally avoiding? Does he feel embarrassed because Qiao Xue found a man better than him, so he's too ashamed to attend Xiaoxue and Tiance's wedding?"

Chu Yunxiu really had a big imagination, coming up with a reason for Lin Dong's absence. She thought Lin Dong was deliberately avoiding.

Qiao Bing felt incredibly bitter, she sighed, not knowing what to say.

Previously she had lied, saying Lin Dong had something to do and left the Capital City.

At the moment, she could only continue to lie, "Lin Dong is busy."

"He's busy? What's keeping him busy? He doesn't even have a formal job, needs to go on business trips?" Chu Yunxiu was obviously skeptical, thinking Lin Dong was just embarrassed, so he was deliberately avoiding.

Qiao Bing could only continue the lie, "Lin Dong is overseas, treating patients. So he can't come back, and he won't be in the Capital City for the time being. That's why he hasn't shown up for months."

"He's overseas treating patients?" Hearing this, Chu Yunxiu was somewhat skeptical.

She knew Lin Dong was Dragon Country's Number One Oriental Medicine Doctor and had even represented Dragon Country in some overseas medical competitions.

He had indeed gone to Paocai Nation for medical competitions before, so Qiao Bing saying he's overseas treating patients was indeed possible.

Chu Yunxiu didn't dwell on it much, she asked:

"So, does this mean he can't come to Xiaoxue and Tiance's wedding the day after tomorrow?"

Qiao Bing nodded bitterly, "Yes, he can't come."

Chu Yunxiu's expression became uglier she continued, "He can't come, but he should at least send a red packet, right? He should give a gift, right?"

"Xiaoxue is getting married, and he's your fiance. In the future, he'll be Xiaoxue's brother-in-law. As a prospective brother-in-law, he should at least give a big red packet, right?"

"If he doesn't give a red packet, it shows he doesn't care about you. You should break up with him as soon as possible."

"If the red packet amount is too low, like less than five million, you can break up with him too."

"Also, this time Tiance is marrying your sister. Do you know how much the betrothal gift is? This villa worth hundreds of millions is just part of it."

"In addition, there is gold worth 9.99 million. Plus, cash bethrothal gift of 66.66 million. Also, six luxury cars, and shares of a company worth tens of billions."

"Like this villa, cash bethrothal gift, the 9.99 million worth of gold, and the six luxury cars, after your sister marries into the Lin family, they will all belong to me. As for the shares of the company worth tens of billions, they belong to your sister!"

"Anyway, the betrothal gift Lin Dong gives to marry you in the future can't be less than these..."

While speaking, she moved her fingers, calculating the future betrothal gifts for Qiao Bing.

Qiao Bing felt extremely annoyed listening to all this.

If Lin Dong weren't 'dead', upon hearing these words, he would be angry and might even retaliate against his mother.

But now, she didn't want to say anything, just felt a deep sorrow in her heart.

She felt that her mother Chu Yunxiu's words were harsh and vexing.

"Mom, why is it that in your eyes, there's only money, money, money? Have you thought about it? Will my sister really be happy marrying Lin Tiance in the future?"

"And, I truly like Lin Dong. Why do you have to hinder us in every way?"

Chu Yunxiu gave her a sidelong glance at Qiao Bing's words and said, "You're still young, so you don't understand. You'll know once you're married, where isn't money needed?"

"If you don't set conditions with a man now, you'll just wait to suffer after marriage!"

"As for the bethrothal gift, hmph, I raised you to this age, think about how much I've put into it? To marry you, they naturally have to give me a bethrothal gift. Or is it that they can marry you for nothing?"

"I've already compromised by allowing you to be with Lin Dong. But in terms of bethrothal gift, if they want to skip it, there's no chance. Anyway, if he doesn't give a bethrothal gift like Lin Tiance's, he can forget about marrying you."

"I must be fair to both of you sisters. Just as the bethrothal gift is this much when Qiao Xue gets married, naturally it has to be equally much when you get married. This is called fair treatment with two bowls of water."

Chu Yunxiu chattered on.

"Besides, Lin Dong also has money now, didn't he show a lot of property before, why is he unwilling to give such a small bethrothal gift?"

"If he's unwilling, doesn't that mean he doesn't love you? So why keep such a man, for the Lunar New Year?"

Qiao Bing sighed and said in frustration, "Forget it, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"Little Bing, you're just too young, haven't been through life's violent beatings. When you reach my age, you'll understand mom's actions, mom is also doing it for your sake. As for the bethrothal gift money for me, do you really think I care about that money of yours?"

"Isn't it?" Qiao Bing retorted.

Chu Yunxiu shook her head, "Of course not, it's just to prove Lin Dong and Lin Tiance's regard for you sisters."

"If not a penny of the bethrothal gift is given, or the gift is too small, doesn't that mean they don't value you at all?"

"As for that bethrothal gift money, how much can I, a middle-aged person, spend? When I truly grow old and pass, wouldn't that money still be left for you?"

"Besides, when your children are born, as their grandmother, shouldn't I give gifts to my grandchildren? Doesn't that need money?"

"Everywhere needs money, I need money for my retirement too! When you're truly all settled and not by my side, if I don't have money, won't I starve to death on the street?"

She became more agitated as she spoke.

Qiao Bing sighed and said, "Mom, even if my sister and I get married, we'd still take care of you."

"That's not certain, a daughter given away is like spilled water. It's more practical for me to rely on the bethrothal gift for retirement... Especially marrying that Lin Dong, I don't believe that after you marry him, he'll take care of my retirement."

Qiao Bing wanted to say more, but at this moment, suddenly a voice came from outside.

"Mom, Little Bing, are you there?"

That voice was clearly from Lin Tiance.

Upon hearing his voice, Chu Yunxiu beamed with joy.

As for Qiao Bing, she frowned.

They're not truly married yet, and he's already calling her mom?

Towards Lin Tiance, Qiao Bing naturally had no good feelings, thinking he was very hypocritical.

At this time, Lin Tiance had already walked in, dressed sharply in a suit today, looking well-groomed.

After coming in, Chu Yunxiu quickly went up to him, extremely enthusiastic, "Tiance, how come you are here?"

Lin Tiance smiled and replied, "Mom, after thinking it over, I feel the previous bethrothal gift wasn't enough."

"So, I went and bought another courtyard house. This courtyard house can be transferred to you today."

"Oh my..." Upon hearing this, Chu Yunxiu exclaimed, her smile even wider, almost jumping for joy.

"A good son-in-law, Tiance is really my good son-in-law."

Lin Tiance said laughingly, "Mom, I've asked the secretary to take you, you can go for the transfer now."

"Well, good, good," Chu Yunxiu didn't think much, extremely excited, she followed Lin Tiance's secretary to transfer the ownership of the courtyard house.

After they left, Lin Tiance's gaze turned to Qiao Bing.

In those eyes, there was a hint of a mocking smile.

From his eyes, Qiao Bing sensed ill-intentions.
