When Shang Shu saw that An Ning was actually going to get engaged to Xiao Zimo, he felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.
Then he said bitterly, "She won't help me."
Shang Wenshu quickly said, "If you approach her alone, she definitely won't help you. After all, haven't you been turned away enough like this? So now, we have to take a detour."
"What kind of detour?"
"Dad, think about it. An Ning is about to marry Xiao Zimo. You are An Ning's biological father. It's not too much to ask Xiao Zimo for some gift money, right? But this can't be done privately. You have to attend An Ning and Xiao Zimo's engagement banquet, and at the banquet, openly bring it up. As long as you mention it, Xiao Zimo won't refuse in front of so many people. After all, if he wants to marry your daughter, he has to pay up a bit, doesn't he?"
"That's true, but with so many people, won't it be embarrassing to bring it up?"
