"Uncle Liu, I know our families got engaged, and your family spent a lot of money. How about this? I'll write you an IOU for five thousand yuan, promising to repay you within a year. Consider it our compensation for your losses."
"Five thousand yuan?" Mayor Liu's eyes lit up; this number exceeded his expectations. Sheng family's eldest girl indeed had some skills, not like she came from the countryside. If he could bring her home as his daughter-in-law, it would be much better than that girl Sheng An.
"Are you crazy?" Sheng An was startled by this number and quickly pulled on Sheng Ning's sleeve.
Sheng Ning pretended she didn't see it. After dealing with Mayor Liu today, she knew this kind of person wouldn't be moved by a small amount of money. If she took a hard stance, she could call off the engagement, but it would offend him completely, and her parents would surely suffer in the future.
There was no better choice but this.
