Married at First Sight

If he kept making trouble, Qingqing would eventually cut ties with him completely. And when that happened, he would regret it-sooner or later.

Kathryn took a deep breath, stepped out of the car, and walked up to her father. Her voice was cold and firm. "Dad, what do you want this time?"

"I'm not writing any apology letter," Zheng Hua said. "Your brothers need to pay for what they've done."

Kathryn frowned. So he was here because of her brothers.

Zheng Hua looked at her closely, and for a moment, he was in a daze. Kathryn looked so much like his late wife. His lips moved slightly as he murmured, "So similar... just like her."

His own daughter.

Her mannerisms, personality, and even her expressions were becoming more and more like her mother.

"Dad, why are you here?" Kathryn asked again, ignoring his distracted mumbling.

Zheng Hua snapped back to reality. The dazed look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by sharp calculation.

"Are you and Pedro on your way to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your marriage certificate?"

Kathryn didn't hesitate. "That's my business."

"He took you to see the fireworks last night," Zheng Hua continued. "The ones that lit up the entire Jiangcheng sky for half an hour... That was him, wasn't it?"

"So what?" Kathryn remained indifferent.

"He's quite rich, isn't he?"

Zheng Hua had spent decades with Feng Yue, yet he never fully understood how much the master's all-purpose assistant earned. But he knew one thing-they were like a moneyprinting machine, never short of cash.

Pedro gave him the same impression.

This son-in-law of his must be very wealthy.

And his daughter had money, too.

She was getting married. Since she wasn't taking over the Feng family and bringing in a husband, it meant she was marrying like everyone else.

And in a proper marriage, there had to be a dowry.

Zheng Hua thought to himself-he was the one who gave Kathryn life. Now that she was getting married, shouldn't she at least give him part of the dowry? Maybe not all of it, but at least half.

Zheng Hua didn't have much money now, and it made him anxious.

Even though Kathryn had assured him that she wouldn't abandon him, wouldn't let him starve, and would provide him with a monthly allowance, it wasn't the same as before. Unlike his sons, who had given him tens or even hundreds of thousands, Kathryn only provided him with basic living expenses.

When he heard that Kathryn and Pedro were going to get their marriage

certificate today, he immediately got up early and had the driver take him back. He was determined to arrive before they left, and he managed to stop them just in time.

"Dad, just say what you want," Kathryn said impatiently. "Don't beat around the bush."

Zheng Hua forced a smile. "Ah Qing, no matter what, I'm still your father. I know I've done things that made you angry, but that doesn't change the fact that we're family."

"You refused to listen to me and

gave up inheriting the Feng family's wealth and power," he continued. "Since you're not taking over, you don't have to follow their rules anymore. You're getting married now, not bringing in a husband to join the family."

"Normally, in a marriage, the groom is supposed to provide a dowry to the bride's family. Raising a daughter isn't easy, you know."

Kathryn immediately understood-her father hadn't rushed back because of her brothers. He was here for money.

No matter how much he had, it was never enough. He always wanted more.

she had stopped

That was why's

giving him large sums and only provided him with basic living expenses. She even arranged for Pedro to pay the household staff directly, ensuring that the money never passed through Zheng Hua's hands, so he couldn't misuse it.

Ever since his marriage, Zheng Hua had never truly controlled his own money,

which only made his desire for wealth stronger.

Even though his bank account had more than most men his age, he still felt

insecure. He believed it wasn't enough to last him for the rest of his life.

He figured he had another ten or twenty years to live.

And as he got older, his health would decline. Medical expenses alone would cost

a fortune.

Without money in his hands, he felt uneasy.noveldrama

That was why Zheng Hua always wanted more.
