Lu Qingqing held back a laugh; she wasn't the least bit surprised.
The Chen Family, up and down, were selfish to the bone—an extreme breed of greedy egoists.
The cost of marrying off a son was too high, so they justified their penny-pinching with talk of gender equality. Sending off a daughter costs nothing, so logically, they should be satisfied. Yet, they didn't want the groom's family to get away without shelling out something, hence all the demands Song Xiaorou described.
In a word, double standards.
Based on Lu Qingqing's understanding of the Chen Family, "Let me guess—the reason you fought with them is because Chen Yuwei made another outrageous demand on behalf of her family. She wanted you and Chen Yuxuan…" She paused. "No, not Chen Yuxuan; he doesn't have much money. So, she wanted you, alone, to dip into your private stash to buy her a house, jewelry, a car as a dowry? Maybe even more?"
