Turned into a cat by the system

Chapter 188 Engagement
As an old-fashioned group that has been entrenched in Nancheng for decades, the Emperor Group exudes influence that cannot be ignored in every gesture. Any disturbance of the group will turn into a squall when it blows down. It is just like the saying that the heights are unbearable, and this is the reason .

Although Liao Xia was very annoyed by these gossips, she also understood the reason why she could not help herself because of her position. If Xia Ying's parents wanted her to keep everything simple in her marriage, it might not be long before the Emperor's Group would be on the board again. The cusp of public opinion.

Now that the eyeball economy is prevalent, there is no shortage of people who are hot and eye-catching. At that time, all kinds of unreasonable guesses will definitely make you cope with doubting your life, so for this kind of thing, you must do it from the beginning. The swarm of flies can't even find a single gap, so that unnecessary troubles will be eliminated from the root.

Xia Ying's parents were really real people, and they confessed the truth within a few words, and there was no difference from what Liao Xia investigated at the beginning.

In fact, dealing with such people is the most worry-free. What they say is exactly the same as what they think. Even if they have some small thoughts of their own, they are protecting their own interests and will not step on others to pursue greater benefits, let alone People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, and honest people have to eat, and they can't be slaughtered just because they are honest.

On the contrary, in Liao Xia's eyes, honest people should be rewarded more, and they should not be ignored or even excluded just because others are honest and sensible, so that those scheming whores will gain the upper hand, and bad money will drive out good money. It has led to a serious decline in the social atmosphere, especially in recent years, the word "honest man" has changed from a commendatory term to a derogatory term, which is evident in the social atmosphere.

No matter how the social climate changes, Liao Xia's rationale will not waver in the slightest. In her eyes, sensible children should get more, God is like this, and so should Xia Ying's parents.

For Liao Xia, she was used to two sides and three swords, intrigues and intrigues. For honest people like Xia Ying's parents, she developed a lot of good feelings and unconsciously got closer.

Besides, for Liao Xia, who is a hermit, it doesn't matter what others think, what matters is what they do.Because one of Liao Xia's superpowers is mind reading, any thoughts of people within a certain distance can't escape her eyes. This is also the fundamental reason why Liao Xia became the childhood shadow of the Di brothers.

At that time, Liao Xia, who was young and a new mother, hoped to know all her child's thoughts, share all his joys, sorrows, and joys, and hoped to make Di Laotian an impeccable successor, so she was naturally generous. Unable to exert his own superpower, the young Di Laotian at that time had nowhere to hide his thoughts.

Facing the omniscient and strict mother in front of him, Di Laotian chose to obey and became an obedient and sensible child from someone else's family, while Di Ertian chose to resist. Controlling his actions and facing Di Ertian's insistence on going his own way, Liao Xia finally realized some problems.

Everyone likes to take shortcuts, let alone someone as smart as Liao Xia, but sometimes if you take too many shortcuts, you won't be able to take the normal path.

After getting used to her mind-reading superpower, Liao Xia enjoyed this omniscient feeling very much at first, but gradually, there were fewer and fewer people close to her, and there were almost no people who could talk to her. In the end, even her own two As a child, she gradually became estranged from her, and everyone deliberately kept a certain distance from her.

Maybe others don't know why, but she knows it, because she uses her super power all the time to see all the thoughts of the people around her. It was only after she escaped that she woke up, but it was too late, and in the end she could only work with machine data all day long, devoting herself to scientific research, to relieve the depression in her heart.

Everyone needs their own private space. No one can show [-]% of themselves to another person. No matter how close the relationship between them is, there will always be a corner that belongs only to themselves.

Due to excessive abuse of superpowers, Liao Xia began to have physical problems. From hallucinations and insomnia at the beginning, it evolved into amnesia, memory loss, etc. In the end, she had to put down all work and concentrate on treatment. After five or six years of intermittent treatment, she finally Coupled with the fact that she has a research institute, her health has improved and she is gradually getting better. It can be considered that she has escaped from hell.

After this incident, Liao Xia had a new understanding of life, and began to devote herself wholeheartedly to scientific research, hoping to explore the secret of the hermit's super power from a scientific point of view, and how to bridge the gap between science and super power. A bridge has become her future research direction.

It wasn't until Di Laotian's accident later that Liao Xia's research direction gradually focused on solving some hidden dangers of Chaoli. This time, the reason why she agreed to Di Ertian's request so readily this time was partly due to guilt and compensation, and partly because of a plan to delay the attack .

The research topic in her hands has made new progress. If the research results are verified, it will solve her most worried problem. Di Ertian no longer has to worry about the identity of a hermit, and can rest assured to be with Xia Ying .

Di Ertian probably would never have imagined that his random speculation that day would actually come true. The reason why his mother agreed so happily was that it was really a plan to delay the attack. I'm afraid only Liao Xia knows what will happen next.

Liao Xia glanced at Xia Li, who was looking worried, and her heart moved. Facing Xia Li and Lin Yu, she didn't need to use telepathy at all. What the two of them were thinking was clearly written on their faces. !
Looking at this expression, she was afraid that when she heard that she was going to make a request, she thought she was trying to make things difficult for them. Thinking of this, Liao Xia hurriedly opened her mouth to explain:
"Don't think too much, both of you, just listen to me first."

Liao Xia smiled, paused, and then slowly said:

"After all, the marriage between Ertian and Xia Ying is related to the face of the Emperor's Group, so it can't be sloppy. According to the tradition of the Emperor's family, nine eights, seven sixes, five threes, two ones, I will add whatever comes to mind later. "

After listening to Liao Xia's words, Di Ertian looked as usual, but Xia Ying's family was stunned. Xia Li even looked at Liao Xia with a mentally retarded look. These few, are they punching or fighting the landlord?
A few numbers that were originally ordinary and commonplace, uttered from Liao Xia's mouth, besides making people feel weird, they are more puzzling.
Liao Xia looked at the expressions of these people in front of her, and was stunned for a moment, then she burst out laughing and said:
"Oh, as I get older, my memory is not as good as before. I forgot that you know very little about our family's traditions. Haha, let me explain a little more.

This tradition has been around for a long time and has been passed down from generations of the Emperor's family. Even as a scientist, I am not exempt from the custom. It made the two of them laugh. I think it was out of respect for my ancestors.

Nine eights refers to the wedding room for young couples, nine gates, eight households, and nine gates, which can accommodate eight households. I can’t remember the specific requirements. In short, it’s just a big house. It was fully purchased by the Emperor's family, and the property rights were jointly owned by Ertian and Xia Ying. There was no problem of repaying the mortgage or writing whose name.

As for the seven sixes, it is the starting amount of the betrothal gift, which can be increased according to the actual situation in the future. Compared with such an excellent Xia Ying, this gift money is really nothing. I am considering whether to add a single digit ? "

When Xiali heard this, he took the lead to retract his dull gaze, and shouted loudly:
"Wait, don't add more, don't add more, I have lived such a long time, and I have never seen so much money. If you add more, I am afraid that I will be lying on the ground now. Ten hundred thousand, one two three Four……"

While murmuring words, Xia Li snapped his fingers, slapped his thigh fiercely, and stood up:

"My in-laws, your betrothal gift is a bit too much, ah bah, it's not a bit too much, it's too much, we can't afford it! This is 660 million! My God!"

After Xia Li finished speaking, Lin Yu and Xia Ying also stood up. This amount is indeed a bit large. Now that people's living standards are gradually improving, a bride price of tens of thousands is considered standard for marriage, and a bride price of hundreds of thousands has also been heard, but This starts with a few million, and even increases, which is really unheard of and unseen, maybe because they are ordinary people and ignorant, but they really can't afford it!
Di Ertian stretched out his hand and tugged at Xia Ying, signaling her not to get excited. The latter nodded and sat on the seat again, but his heart was surging and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Inhumane, Xia Ying didn't even dare to listen to the next few numbers, she didn't know what sensational thing it was!
"Family, don't get excited. Did you stop talking about it just now? These are the traditions of the Emperor's family, and they are also related to the appearance of the Emperor's Group. It's still the same sentence. You don't have to, but I have to give it. If you really want to spread it , the Emperor’s family won’t be laughed out of their teeth by others, don’t you think so?”

With a smile on her face, Liao Xia raised the corner of her mouth and said:

"I still have a villa in Jiangxin Yipin. The square meter is a little smaller, less than [-] square meters. I don't remember clearly. Although the square meter is a little small, it should be enough for the two of you. This is not in the tradition of the emperor's family. , is a little bit of my personal heart, thank you two for your recognition of our family.

Don't worry, both of you, I will let the group's legal affairs deal with it fairly in the future. After some reasonable tax avoidance, they will all be transferred to your name in the name of gift. As long as you cooperate with our group It is enough for the legal staff to go through the relevant handover procedures, and there will be no legal disputes. Please feel at ease. "

villa?huge sum of money?
Xia Li and Lin Yu were completely dumbfounded, especially Xia Li, who was dumbfounded and subconsciously said:

"Then... let these two children go to get the certificate in a while?"

"Hahaha, my in-laws, you are too good at joking, haha!"

Liao Xia, who has always been serious, was also amused by Xia Li's words. With tears in her eyes, Lin Yu stretched out her hand under the tea table and pinched Xia Li's thigh. , but I heard Liao Xia say:
"I just remembered when you mentioned getting the certificate. The meeting between our two parents today can only be to finalize the marriage. The two children are still a year away from the legal marriage age. Today can only be regarded as engagement. As for when they will get married?" , I have to wait until after next year to discuss the specific date, but I've confirmed your in-laws!"

got engaged? !
Well, what I just said about the relationship is after marriage. The sudden ups and downs made Xia Li a little at a loss for a while. Liao Xia also noticed the change in the latter's expression, and added:

"However, what I just said is valid. In order to show the attitude and sincerity of the Di family, I will give me a bank card number later. I will put the bride price into the card first. However, because the villa is affiliated with the group, the handover procedures may be difficult." It is troublesome and it will take some time to complete it, I hope you two can understand."

Xiali and Lin Yu still couldn't get over their nerves, their mouths were open, but they couldn't say anything. This is too casual. Based on the current average price of house prices in Nancheng, the villa alone costs tens of millions. In addition to the dowry gift of more than 600 million yuan, such a huge amount of assets can be given away in a few words?
"Well, what, dear... family! Isn't it a bit too hasty, aren't these two children underage? Why don't you slow down what you just said, let me go over it again..."

Charlie swallowed and stammered.

"Hey, they are all called in-laws. What are you talking about? I just hope that the two children will be well. Don't worry about the two of you being better than the children. You deserve these. Don't have any psychological burden. In short, it's the same sentence, you You don’t have to, but I can’t refuse to give it. After the handover procedures are completed, if the two of you really don’t want it, whether it’s sold or donated, it’s up to the two of you to dispose of it casually, haha.”

"No, dear... family, that's not what we mean!"

Liao Xia stopped talking with a smile, raised her hand to check the time, and then said seriously:
"Dear family, it's getting late, and we've also decided on this marriage. I still have something to do in my research institute, so I have to go back now. As for the things about getting married later, I'll leave it to the young couple to figure it out for themselves. Just give some advice, if you can’t mention it, don’t worry about it, after this busy period, I’ll invite the two of you to my house for a sit-down, have a meal, get closer, and if you happen to be able to meet Ertian’s father.”

Xia Li and Lin Yu looked at each other, knowing that the matter was almost over, and it would be too much to sit down, so they simply got up and said:
"Then... in-laws, you should go back and do your work first. The marriage will be settled once the engagement is made. As for the rest, we will digest it when we go back..."

Then everyone got up, surrounded Liao Xia, followed by dozens of bodyguards in black, their lips moved slightly, and they didn't know what they were talking into the headset. After going out, Liao Xia turned around and waved to everyone, and then got into the black car , the bodyguards in black all around looked nervous, and looked around vigilantly, until Liao Xia's car started, and then quietly gave a sigh of relief.

In front of Liao Xia's black car, there were two black off-road vehicles without license plates, and then six black cars got out from nowhere and followed closely behind Liao Xia's convoy, protecting the car Liao Xia was riding in. It's so strict, this level of security is simply unbelievable!
Not long after Liao Xia's convoy disappeared, several groups of men in casual clothes poured out from the buildings around the teahouse, each with cold eyes, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, and then disappeared into the crowd.

The originally controlled traffic around the teahouse has gradually returned to smoothness. The sound of cars honking, the sound of vendors, and the noise of crowds began to rise one after another, and it was once again a world of fireworks.
