Chapter 178 Mingyin is actually the eldest daughter of the Chu family
Mr. Chu immediately realized what was happening.
"5 million? Is that a lot? Don't you know how generous the dowry my son-in-law gave? Why would we care about a mere 5 million?"
"As expected of a small family, they've become obsessed with money. 5 million is already the limit. Do you really think that marrying Gu Ye will get you all of his assets?" Ming Yin said angrily.
Chu Xinglan yawned.
No matter how Xianghe got the money, her parents weren't so greedy. Without her saying a word, they could easily deal with this woman who came to provoke them.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going back to sleep."
Chu Xinglan spoke lazily.
"Go on, go on, get plenty of rest, you'll look beautiful when Gu Ye comes to pick you up tonight."
Mrs. Chu quickly smiled and waved her hand.
"Chu Xinglan, what kind of attitude is this?" Mingyin was furious when she saw that Chu Xinglan completely ignored her and reached out to grab Chu Xinglan.
Before she could even touch Chu Xinglan, Mrs. Chu grabbed her hand and threw Mingyin away.
"You are incredibly insolent, daring to come to my house and bully my daughter. Do you really think the Chu family is easy to bully?"
"If you don't get out of here, don't blame us for being impolite."
Mingyin was pushed so hard she almost fell. Her eyes widened, and she glared fiercely at Mr. and Mrs. Chu.
"You dare lay a hand on me? Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are. If you're after my son-in-law, you're just making trouble for me." Mrs. Chu said, hands on her hips, equally furious.
How could such a wealthy and eligible bachelor be given away so easily?
"I am the eldest daughter of the Ming family. If you offend me, you can expect to be removed from the business world," Ming Yin said angrily.
"Who do you say you are?" Mr. and Mrs. Chu were stunned on the spot.
"What? Are you scared now? Let me tell you, if you dare to hurt me, my grandfather will never let you get away with it." Mingyin said smugly.
"Who is your grandfather?" Mr. Chu looked at Mingyin with a strange expression.
“My grandfather is Master Ming.” Ming Yin thought Mr. and Mrs. Chu were terrified.
"And who are you?" Mrs. Chu stretched her hands forward, then suddenly pulled them back.
"I am Ming Yin, the eldest daughter of the Ming family and the only granddaughter of Old Master Ming!" Ming Yin said proudly.
It seems that Grandpa's influence is still considerable, look how scared this couple is, they can't even speak.
She glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Chu, whose faces were pale, and said smugly, "Now that you know my identity, I advise you to be sensible and let your daughter cancel her engagement with Gu Ye on her own, so that you don't end up with nothing."
Chu Xinglan also looked at Xianghe with a puzzled expression.
She didn't know that Xianghe's true identity was actually the eldest daughter of the Ming family. In her previous life, her identity was also well hidden. Neither she nor Gu Ye expected that a mere maid would have such a powerful background.
"No matter who you are or what noble status you have, as long as Gu Ye doesn't give up on me, I will never leave him," Chu Xinglan told Ming Yin firmly.
"Don't be ungrateful," Mingyin said angrily.
"Have you finished saying what you wanted to say? Can you leave now?" Chu Xinglan didn't want to get entangled with Ming Yin any longer. She looked at her parents strangely from upstairs, and they suddenly became mute.
Chu Xinglan was puzzled.
Were they pressured by the Ming family? Impossible. Even if the Ming family is powerful, they wouldn't be so intimidated that they couldn't utter a word. Besides, Gu Ye is about to marry her. With Gu Ye as their backer, they are fearless and wouldn't care about the Ming family.
But ever since Mingyin revealed her identity, her parents have been acting strangely.
Although Chu Xinglan had doubts, she still went upstairs. She didn't want to get entangled with Ming Yin any longer.
"Chu Xinglan, how dare you ignore me?" Mingyin roared at Chu Xinglan as he went upstairs. Only after Chu Xinglan was out of sight did she turn back angrily to look at Mr. and Mrs. Chu.
Perhaps Chu Xinglan is arrogant and unafraid of the Ming family, but Mr. and Mrs. Chu are different. Perhaps she can scare them and make them stop the marriage.
“Listen up, if Chu Xinglan really marries Gu Ye, my Ming family will never let this go.”
Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu exchanged glances. They didn't react much to Ming Yin's words, but just stared at her blankly.
Mingyin looked down on them and didn't want to stay there any longer. She said angrily and turned to leave.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu watched Mingyin leave until she got into her car and disappeared from sight, before they realized what had happened.
After a long while, Mr. and Mrs. Chu looked at each other again. Seeing that there was no one else around, they felt relieved and dared to speak.
"She's our daughter! Our daughter has grown up so much!" Mrs. Chu said, somewhat excitedly.
"Yes, it's been a full twenty years. It seems she's doing very well in the Ming family." Mr. Chu also looked pleased.
“Mingyin, her name is Mingyin. I thought I would never see her again. Heaven has eyes and allowed me to see my own daughter again.”
Mrs. Chu was so excited that she clasped her hands together.
Mr. Chu was also excited and eager to run to his daughter to reunite with her.
"But why did Mingyin and Lanlan have a conflict? And why did they both fall for the same man?"
Mrs. Chu seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed.
The joy and excitement on Mr. Chu's face disappeared immediately; he was also completely taken aback.
"Judging from Mingyin's expression, it seems she won't let this go easily."
"What kind of situation is this? Mingyin is actually competing with Lanlan for the same man."
Mrs. Chu started to feel a headache coming on.
She finally found a wealthy husband, but two of her daughters tried to steal him away.
“Husband, I don’t care. Mingyin is our daughter. Over the years, we have not fulfilled our responsibilities as parents and we owe her a lot. We must do our best to make it up to her whatever she wants.”
Mrs. Chu made her decision without thinking.
"What do you mean?" Mr. Chu looked at Mrs. Chu strangely.
“Since Mingyin likes Gu Ye, then Lanlan should give Gu Ye to her.”
Mrs. Chu was only thinking about Ming Yin, but forgot that Chu Xinglan was the wife Gu Ye had chosen, and she couldn't just give her up as she pleased.
Mr. Chu surprisingly agreed with Mrs. Chu's words.
"Alright, let's go upstairs and have a good talk with Lanlan."
Mrs. Chu nodded hurriedly, but said with some worry, "What if Lanlan doesn't agree?"
“She dares?” Mr. Chu’s expression immediately changed. “We’ve raised her with so much care, so her marriage is naturally our decision.”
Mrs. Chu immediately smiled and said, "Yes, she has no choice but to agree to this."
