"The Bai Family truly lives up to their merchant background; they are experts at playing up to those in power," Gu Kaiping said, feigning a profound tone. "When Mr. Bai came begging to our door, he promised a massive dowry. Secretly, it was actually meant for our entire Gu Family.
"We thought Ms. Bai would be sensible enough to offer it up with both hands, making life a little easier for all of us.
"Who would have thought she'd be as stubborn as a block of wood, refusing to let go of it?
"You see Mother laying down the rules for her every single day, yet she still doesn't get it. It just goes to show how stupid she is.
"This is exactly why our parents dislike their branch of the family more and more. The third brother lacks ambition, and his wife is like this. How could they not be disappointed?
"Now, I don't know what got into Kai Yuan, but he actually dared to cause such a scene. You need to stay away from him from now on, lest our parents take their anger out on you."
