In the evening, after the family finished dinner, Jiaojiao accompanied Xiaona in her room, talking and chatting, and they started discussing the dowry money.
Jiaojiao genuinely didn't want them to continue being at odds over this money, so she softly said, "Xiaona, why don't I lend you the money? You can take it under Brother Chi's name, but you'll repay me later, okay?"
The Yang family insists on having this money, and Yang Xiaona doesn't want Ruan Chi to give it. If they keep at this impasse, Jiaojiao truly fears they might not end up getting their marriage certificate.
She understood Yang Xiaona's emotional knot, so she thought it would be better to lend the money to Xiaona, then Xiaona can take it back, claiming it's from Ruan Chi, and pay her back when she has the money later.
Obviously, she didn't actually expect Xiaona to repay the money—Jiaojiao knew this way Xiaona would feel more comfortable.
She thought it was a solution where everyone would be happy.
