Chapter 1421: Chen Yuer's Dowry
ng, she didn't come to see him off. But Ye Fan knew she cared about him, otherwise, she wouldn't have said so much to him at the Ye Family Courtyard the day before."Good," Ye Fan really wanted to say...Chen Yuer's father is named Chen Shunan.
Just from his name, one would imagine him to be an ordinary person, the kind you wouldn't find on the street even if you blinked.
However, no one who knows Chen Shunan would ever think that.
Every wealthy family has a money-making prodigy.
Like He Lán Xiaoxin from the Jinghua He Lan family, Long Zai Kong, father of Long in the Ming Zhu Long family, and Long Chengcheng, former granddaughter-in-law of the Jinghua Yue family, are all taking on this role.
Because there are these shrewd and money-making business elites, those wealthy families don't have to worry about running out of money, which in turn leads them to take risks for money and engage in illegal activities.
Chen Shunan was the money-making child of the Lingnan Chen family.
His privately founded Tiannan Company is the largest private enterprise in Lingnan, with tens of thousands of employees and businesses spanning real estate, electronics, and even aerospace.
In short, Tiannan Company ranks among the top ten private enterprises in China with a market value exceeding billions.
Could any billionaire be an ordinary person
His only beloved daughter, what status could compare to an ordinary family's child
The man she liked, or the man who was qualified to pursue her, how could he possibly be an ordinary person
In the hearts of the elders of the Chen family from Lingnan and the Duan family from Dali, only Duan Shuchang was deemed worthy of becoming Chen Yuer's white knight.
The little girl herself agreed.
Emperor Duan Shù
She was petite with a delicate face, resembling a Chinese table tennis player. In his heart, she was just a proud little sister next door.
The girl that Emperor Duan Shu liked, first of all, had to be over one meter seven tall.
Chen Yuer wore ten-centimeter high heels, only reaching 1.68 meters tall.
Standing next to Duan Shuchang, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall — well, calling it "little bird leaning on a person" sounds nice, but if someone didn't know, they might think this was a father-daughter pair.
It is said that when young men and women date, they tend to fall for those who possess qualities that they lack in themselves.
For example, the wives of handsome men are generally not particularly outstanding. The husbands of beautiful women are basically all bald. Girls with a "fish-shaped" figure like chubby guys. A physically imposing man like Duan Shouchang, shouldn't he fall in love at first sight with the petite Chen Yuer
In fact, that's exactly how it was—when Chen Yuer met Duan Shuchang for the first time, she immediately saw him as her prince charming.
How is the emperor doing
He genuinely dislikes the future child's mother. She's only up to his ribs in height.
So whenever his elders bring up this matter, he uses all sorts of reasons and excuses to avoid it.
The only way out is to escape.
There is no refusal.
Whether he was willing or not, he had to grudgingly admit that Chen Yuer was his fiancée.
The marriage alliance between the Duan and Long families was decided by Duan Lao, the patriarch of the Duan clan. Even though Duan Shusheng, the Iron Plate King, was the third-generation head of the Dali Duan clan, he had to obey Duan Lao's orders.
For the benefit of the family, marriage alliances were a common practice among prominent families throughout Chinese history.
This also destined Duan Shuzhuang to marry Chen Yuer for the overall benefit of the Dali Duan clan, sooner or later.
But he just couldn't get over a certain hurdle in his heart, which is why he always avoided Chen Yuer.
Chen Yuer herself also knows.
She didn't blame Duan Shuhua for it.
The blame lies solely with myself - father, how could I have been so short
Chen Shunan is a tall guy, standing at 1.83 meters. Even if Chen Yuer himself didn't make an effort, he could probably grow to 1.7 meters easily.
Parental genetic transmission is very important.
Fortunately, Chen Yu'er knew about her "flaw" when she was just a child. This made her work hard to participate in all kinds of activities that could help her grow taller.
What kind of dance, yoga, even boxing.
Let's just say that as long as it helps with her growth, no matter how hard she works, she will give it her all.
Similarly, no matter how disgusting the food is, as long as it can benefit her height, she will eat it.
But she had clearly put in so much hard work, eaten so many things she didn't like, yet her height remained at 1.58 meters.
Perhaps it's because of her good diet and lifestyle, but despite her small stature, she has a voluptuous figure with pronounced curves. She embodies the "childlike face, giant breasts" trope even more so – both childlike and proportionally larger.
When wearing clothes, the whole person is like a powerful pea.
Stepping into the bathtub, he became—oh well, not making little movies is definitely the biggest loss for sixteen billion teenagers growing up all over the world.
Especially knowing that her figure was not appreciated by Duan Shuhou, yet every time she saw her, his eyes would always scan back and forth over her most proud parts. Chen Yuer like she had discovered a new continent, felt secretly pleased in her heart, and thus became even more diligent, hoping to make her figure even more sexy.
Don't look at my short stature, but my figure is top-notch.
Compared to last year when Dali Duan made a guest appearance, this year Chen Yuer's figure has improved by another notch.
Besides, before she came, she even spent a lot of thought on what to wear.
Any effort made with heart will never be in vain.
After getting off the carriage and walking into Duan Jia Mountain Villa, Chen Yu'er attracted the attention of Zhang Tong and others who were responsible for the perimeter security. All of them secretly peeked at her during her short hundred-meter journey.
This gave her a lot of confidence.
It was natural to ignore the wry smile on Old Man Chen Shunan's lips.
As a father, Chen Shunan couldn't possibly not know what his daughter was thinking.
Just as Chen Yuer didn't blame Duan Shuhou for "looking down" on her, Chen Shounan didn't resent Duan Dashao for being unaware of her worth.
Nan Chu Huang, Bei Fu Su, these six characters describe the two most outstanding young people in China today.
As one of the most outstanding young people in China, Duan Shuchang, known for his arrogance, it's normal that he wouldn't be satisfied with Chen Yuer.
"I just hope all this hard work by the fish wasn't in vain."
Chen Shunan sighed softly in his heart. Under Duan Eryi's polite gesture, he sat back down again.
Don't think that Duan Erdai's name comes from his father, Duan Shuhong's nickname.
The name on someone's ID card is Duan Erdai!
As the second-generation head of the Duan family after its revival, he is named Duan Erdai. Is there a problem with that
As soon as he sat down, the middle-aged man accompanying Chen's father and daughter immediately placed the rectangular wooden box he was holding in his arms on the table. He smiled and nodded at Duan Erdai and the others before quickly walking out of the VIP reception room.
"Fish, quickly show your second uncle the gift you carefully picked out for Grandpa."
Upon Chen Shounan's command, Chen Yuer readily responded with a "yes" and untied the crimson silk wrapping the rectangular wooden box. She then opened it.
Actually, as soon as Chen's father and daughter's entourage put the box down, Duan Erdai guessed that it probably contained ginseng or some other kind of tonic.
As a matter of fact, he was right.
The box contained ginseng, indeed.
But when he saw the humanoid ginseng, his face still changed color. He instinctively reached out and carefully took the ginseng out of the box, placing it in front of him to examine it closely.
Ginseng has many varieties, such as Korean ginseng and American ginseng. The actual prices are far lower than the selling prices.
More than two hundred years ago, American Ginseng, which is now highly sought after in the Chinese market, was considered just a common weed in America.
Feeding pigs, the pigs don't eat.
But after the hype from those later business geniuses, Citigroup's share price skyrocketed thousands of times.
There is a kind of ginseng with medicinal value, but it's not the hyped-up stuff like American ginseng that can compare.
That is ginseng native to the Xing'an Mountains in Northeast China.
The ginseng in the second-generation's hand, to those who don't know its value, is just a strange-looking carrot.
Carrot, isn't its nickname little ginseng
Born into a prestigious family, Duan Erdai cared more than anyone about his father's health. His expertise in ginseng research surpassed that of many specialists in the field.
At first glance, he could tell that this ginseng had been growing in the wild for at least three hundred years.
Please note, it is the wilderness, three hundred years!
Even in ancient times, when transportation was inconvenient and medicinal herb gatherers lurked deep in the mountains, finding a three-hundred-year-old humanoid wild ginseng would be a remarkable feat.
Moreover, nowadays there are many more wild ginseng pickers than ginseng itself.
How is it possible for wild noodles with a lifespan of over three hundred years to appear
This wild ginseng, to say its value is priceless or beyond compare would be an understatement - even with a lot of money, it might not be available for purchase.
This wild ginseng can only be obtained by fate.
"Third younger brother, this gift is simply too precious, Second older brother I can't accept it at all."
After carefully examining the wild ginseng, Duan Erdai put it back in the box with a solemn expression.
For prominent families like the Duan and Chen clans, when relatives-in-law exchange gifts, even a mansion worth hundreds of millions would be accepted with polite smiles.
This wild ginseng, even if it's highly prized, wouldn't be worth hundreds of millions.
However, Duan's second generation refused to accept it.
This wild ginseng, which has grown in the field for three hundred years, is absolutely qualified to be regarded as a family treasure by major aristocratic families.
According to legend, a certain divine physician's story passed down through the people, when an old man was at death's door, he only needed to cut a piece from this wild ginseng and make it into a paste to put in the old man's mouth, helping him swallow it, and he might be able to come back to life.
Therefore, this grade of wild ginseng is also known as "閻王的憂" (Yan Wang's Worry).
As for Chen Shou-nan's statement that this wild ginseng was carefully selected by Chen Yuer as a gift for Lao Duan, the second generation of Duan could just ignore it.
A gift
Heh heh, if there really was such a gift displayed in a shopping mall, even the second generation of Duan would dare to buy it all up, even if it meant selling everything they had.
This clearly shows that the Chen family went all out to matchmake Chen Yuer and Duan Shuchang.
"Second brother, you can't do that, right"
Chen Shou's face darkened as he frowned. "Between our families, exchanging gifts is nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, this ginseng was meant for Elder Duan. Considering Elder Duan's importance to my Shenzhou, it wouldn't matter if it was just a wild ginseng, even dragon liver and phoenix marrow would be deserving of him."
Look at how Chen Shunan speaks, so eloquent. Then look at those bumpkins who just give a couple hundred yuan red envelopes when they want to curry favor with their superiors – there's simply no comparison.
If Duan Erdai refuses, it proves that — he disagrees with the marriage between the Duan and Chen families.
Duan Erdai also knew very well that if he refused again, the Chen family father and daughter would just exchange a few pleasantries after finishing their tea and then get up and leave from the sofa.
This priceless wild ginseng was one of the dowries Chen's family gave to Chen Yuer.
Actually, she was quite satisfied with Chen Yuer's performance as her daughter-in-law. How could she refuse
"Haha, since Third Brother put it that way, Second Brother would be disrespectful if he refused."
Duan'er immediately let out his trademark hearty laugh, stood up and said: "Third brother, it's been a year since we last met, we must have a good drink together. Fish-er, are you coming with us two old men to have a drink, or are you going to the West Courtyard to find Emperor Chu, sharing your longing for each other as a couple"
Chen Yuer immediately flushed, her cheeks turning red as she shyly pouted: "Second Uncle, I haven't even been engaged to the Crown Prince – hmph, who would want to accompany you old men anyway."
