Wedding, Mistress, And A Signed Death

Gu Meng wanted to marry Zhou Mingxuan, an office worker who did not know that her father was the richest man in the country. Her father refused the match. Three years ago she left home anyway, moved in with Zhou Mingxuan, and spent those three years pretending she had no money. On the eve of the engagement she sent her father a message saying she was getting married. At the party she was five months pregnant and had preeclampsia. In front of the guests, Zhou Mingxuan's mother cut the agreed bride price of 88,000 down to 8.8 and told Gu Meng to produce 188,000 for the trousseau. Gu Meng handed it over and said nothing, because of the baby. She went to the lounge afterwards to sit down and found Zhou Mingxuan there with the woman he called his sworn sister. Her condition turned while she was standing there and she reached for her phone to call an ambulance. The two of them put a pen and paper in front of her and told her to write out in her own hand that the hospital bill was hers to pay. She was still writing when the door was kicked open and her father came in with his bodyguards behind him. He read the sheet and said, "One word from my daughter is worth a building of yours." Zhou Mingxuan had spent three years believing she came from nothing.
