Chapter 1248
ire’s high school ssmate was getting married the next day.
The couple drove a super sports car each as they set off at dawn from the vi at Thompson First to
Wynd Park, which was a suburb in Aurous Hill. 2
Wynd Park was about sixty kilometers away from the city center. Although it was a little far away,
fortunately, there was a direct highway leading from the city center directly to Wynd Park. 1
ire''s high school ssmate lived in the outskirts of Wynd Park. When they had both followed
the directions on the navigation system to themunity where the other party lived at, they
discovered that it turned out to be an oldmunity that was probably a t least twenty to thirty
years old. 2
All the houses in thismunity were no more than six floors high and the houses were all built
very densely together. The green paint on the outside of the houses was all already mottled,
revealing the color of the cement. 3
The entrance of themunity was also very narrow. In addition, there were also a few high speed
bumps 0 n the road. In addition, it could be seen at a single nce that the condition of the road
was not very good. There were either trash cans upying the road, or someone’s tricycle, bicycle,
motorcycle, or
dpidated car parked at the side of the road. Thus, the road leading into themunity was very
narrow. 6
Charlie was driving the Bugatti ahead. As soon as he caught a glimpse of the entrance of the
community, he called his wife, ire, who was driving the car behind him, and said, "Wife, the
conditions of the road in thismunity is just tooplicated. I guess that the chassis of our
sports car is also too low. It will be too difficult for us to drive in. Let''s just park our car outside and
we can walk inside." 2
ire replied, "Okay, you can park your car first and I''ll follow behind."
Charlie parked his car at the side of the road and his wife, ire, also parked the other car directly
behind him. 5
After that, both of them got out of their cars. It was early in the morning and the passersby who saw
these two top luxury cars suddenly stopping at this small, economically-depressed county stopped
to take pictures with their cell phones.
Charlie did not want to be too ostentatious. So, he hurriedly pulled ire as they walked towards
themunity. 2
Fortunately, they had both arrived early and there were not many passersby at this time. Otherwise,
they would definitely be surrounded by a crowd of people. 1
It was only seven forty in the morning at this time.
After ire and Charlie entered themunity together, ire could not help but sigh as she said,
"I visited her house once when we were still in high school. Her whole family was living here at that
time.
I really did not expect their family to still be living here even after so many years.”
Charlie looked at the dpidated buildings around him and he sighed as he said, "The houses here
aren''t that big, are they?"
ire hummed as she said, “Their house is a two-bedroom house, which adds up to more than
sixty square meters."
Charlie asked curiously, "How can four people live together in a two-bedroom house? Didn''t you say
that your friend has a younger brother too?" 5
"Yes.” ire replied, "Their family could not afford a bigger house. So, my friend and her brother
have both been living in the same room since they were young. Later, she attended school at
another ce. When she graduated from university, her younger brother had already grown up too.
So, it was impossible for them t o continue sharing the same room. So, my ssmate went to
Aurous Hill by herself to try and build up her own career. She also rented a house in Aurous Hill." i

After that, ire sighed as she said, "Isn''t she getting married today? ording to the rules, she
should be married off from her family home. So, she came herest night and she''s waiting to be
married off in the morning today." i
Charlie nodded slightly and said, "If someone in amunity is marrying their daughter off, then
there would at least be a wedding arch at the gate of themunity with some prosperous and
joyous blessings written on it. Why didn’t your ssmate''s family do any of those things at all?
When I walked into themunity, I couldn’t tell that someone was getting married today at all." 7
ire replied helplessly, "Her family doesn''t want her t o get married at all because the other party
did not give them a dowry. However, she had no choice but to get married as she’s pregnant. I
heard that her family members are all very angry at all and they didn’t even want to see her at all.
They even said that the whole family won’t attend her wedding even if she''s getting married today.
They said that she could leave by herself if she wanted to leave." i
Charlie could not help but said, "Isn’t that a little too much? Their own daughter is getting married
today. S o, how can her parents and brother decide not to attend her wedding? Aren’t they a little
too unsentimental?"
ire was filled with sympathy as she said, "My ssmate is actually very pitiful. Her parents have
already told her a long time ago that no matter who she marries, her husband would have to give
her family three hundred thousand dors as dowry. This is so they can afford to buy an apartment
for her younger brother." 9
"However, she insisted on getting married to this person but her husband''s family did not give her
any dowry at all. Therefore, her parents and her brother wanted her to abort her child so that she
could marry another man who would give her a dowry instead." 9 "My ssmate refused to agree to
their request and this is the reason why her parents really hate her very much. Even her younger
brother hates her. If we did note to help her today, then I think she would have to get married
off on her own today."
