"How much was the house you were interested in?"
Li Guilian looked at the bank balance on her phone with a broad smile. She had a typical preference for sons over daughters.
For her, a daughter was an outsider, destined to be married off sooner or later, and for now, it was best to extract as much remaining value from her as possible before that time came.
Her son, Liu Xiaojie, had a girlfriend, but without a house for marriage, there was no way they could wed.
In order to buy a marital home for Liu Xiaojie, mother and son staged this dramatic ploy to extract money from Liu Qingwu. Even though Li Guilian knew her daughter might not have much savings, she thought her daughter's beauty and numerous suitors made it easy to gather funds.
As expected, in just one day, her daughter raised more than 400,000, and Li Guilian even regretted setting the target at 500,000 initially—it was too low.
