Hearing that Jiang Luyao was Lei Guanting's goddaughter, both Kang Sicheng and Zhuang Huici were taken aback and looked at Jiang Luyao suspiciously.

As for Lei Guanting, they still had to be scruples.Although the Thunder Group is not as sharp-edged as the Empire Group, dominating the business world.But in terms of seniority, among the bigwigs who are still active in the business world, there are probably few seniors who are older than him.

So even because of this, they had to respect Lei Guanting three points.

Zhuang Huici still couldn't get angry after all, so he said strangely: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you have an extra godfather? You are really capable."

This sentence seems to mean something, but the deep meaning in it is too nasty, which made Jiang Luyao angry, and was about to fight back, but Qiao Mucheng, who had been silent all this time, said: "I heard that the Jiang family and the Lei family are family friends. , I should have gone to visit earlier, but Yaoyao and I got married in a hurry, so I didn't have time to inform you, sir, don't mind."

With just one sentence, he washed away the dirty water that Zhuang Huici deliberately poured on Jiang Luyao, and calmly expressed his position. Obviously, he was still on his wife's side.

Jiang Luyao swallowed the words that were already on his lips, and looked at Qiao Mucheng in disbelief.

Is the sun coming out from the west?How could President Qiao be so polite, even talking to others respectfully?
Although Lei Guanting's seniority is indeed higher than him, there are many people who are higher than him, and he has never spoken to anyone in such a tone.Even to Zhuang Huici, he was only polite, not even respectful.

What surprised her even more was that Qiao Mucheng actually spoke for her again?

Although it was still so inconspicuous, she could hear it.

Lei Guanting was very satisfied with Qiao Mucheng's reaction. He glanced at him approvingly, supported Jiang Luyao's shoulder and pushed her to Qiao Mucheng's side, and said, "My goddaughter has had a hard time these years. Since you married her , just take good care of her and don’t let her suffer anymore. If someone bullies her, I also hope that you, the husband, can protect her well, and you can be regarded as the soul in heaven who has failed her father. Otherwise, I won’t just sit idly by of."

This sentence pointed to Zhuang Huici insinuatingly, implying that if she bullied Jiang Luyao, he would not be polite.

Hearing Jiang Quanming mentioned, Qiao Mucheng's eyes flashed a strange look, but it was only fleeting. Then he nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will take good care of her."

Jiang Luyao silently cast him a big white eye in his heart, scolding him for hypocrisy, but on the surface he didn't show it at all, instead he looked at Zhuang Huici with a smile on his face, and then turned his gaze to Kang Ya who had been silent all this time. Tong body.

She still looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her.But the look in her eyes deceived others, but not Jiang Luyao.

It was a trace of hostility that was deeply hidden. Although her eyes almost never looked at Jiang Luyao, but only occasionally when she glanced over her, the hostility deepened.

Now Jiang Luyao confirmed his previous guess more and more. Kang Yatong was really interested in Qiao Mucheng, and she usually pretended to be high-spirited to hide it, and she didn't know what she was planning.

Zhuang Huici saw that she couldn't get any advantage here, so she snorted coldly and said, "Other people's family enjoys a happy life, so we outsiders should not be an eyesore here."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left on his own. Kang Sicheng was more rational than her, and he said goodbye to Lei Guanting before following.

Kang Yatong stayed until the end, but before leaving, she said, "Brother Mucheng, then I'll leave first."

Qiao Mucheng gave a faint "hmm" and didn't say much.

Jiang Luyao felt uneasy for a while, Brother Mucheng?Usually in the company, he is called the president, but in private, he calls him so affectionately, do you really think you are his own sister?
Seeing that Jiang Luyao's "crisis" had been resolved and his goal had been achieved, Lei Guanting said, "Okay, I won't bother you young couple anymore. Yaoyao, after the reception, remember to send your contact information Tell Uncle, I will often come to Uncle's house to play in the future."

Jiang Luyao was very grateful to him. If he hadn't been there just now, she would have been made things difficult by Zhuang Huici. Although she wasn't afraid, on this occasion, she didn't want the scene to be too ugly.And that Kang Sicheng didn't look like an easy character, it was because of Uncle Lei's face that they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Uncle Lei, don't worry, I will visit you often." She said seriously.

After Lei Guanting left, she withdrew her gaze, stared at Qiao Mucheng for a while, then looked at Kang Yatong in the distance, and said word by word: "Brother Mucheng... Tsk tsk, I didn't know before, you guys Two brothers and sisters who are not related by blood, are they so close in private?"

Qiao Mucheng looked at her with a half-smile, and asked calmly, "When Tang Jiaren called me that, why didn't I see you have such a question?"

Jiang Luyao was taken aback, and replied without thinking, "Can Tang Jiaren compare with her? After all, she has unique conditions. With the relationship between your two families, wouldn't your mother want to get closer? ?"

Hearing her mention these four words, Qiao Mucheng's complexion changed slightly, and then returned to normal. He squinted his eyes and looked at her for a long while, then suddenly gave a meaningful "hmm" and asked, "If you guessed right, what is your name?" Are you jealous?"

Jiang Luyao exploded instantly: "Guess is wrong! Big mistake! I will eat your jealousy? Don't dream!"

However, her explanation was simply weak, and even a bit of a cover-up. Qiao Mucheng raised the corners of his mouth, showing a rare smile that didn't look like a mockery.

He noticed that a decorative flower was loose in Jiang Luyao's hair, so he naturally reached out to help her put it back on.

Such a simple little action caused Jiang Luyao's mood to fluctuate in an instant. He subconsciously raised his hand and opened his hand with a "snap", stepped back in a hurry, and said, "I was in a hurry just now. I'm going to get it now!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qiao Mucheng's response, he turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Before Qiao Mucheng could take back the hand that was slapped away, he hung in the air quietly for a while before letting it go.Looking thoughtfully at the direction Jiang Luyao was leaving, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Jiang Luyao ran for a long distance as if escaping, and didn't stop until his heartbeat stopped so fast.

What was the feeling just now?When Qiao Mucheng helped her tidy her hair, she was very close to her, and she could see his serious eyes and the unconscious concern in his eyes when she looked up.

It's an illusion... She can only tell herself that.

But whether it was an illusion or not, at least she was very clear about what she felt in her heart.At that moment, she was... moved.

It wasn't the kind of feeling that she had had several times before, as if returning to the time when she was with him, but a feeling that frightened her even more.It was like when I first met Qiao Mucheng seven years ago, because of his every move, even a look in his eyes, I felt my heart throbbing.

If it's just nostalgia for the past, or the resurgence of old feelings, she has reasons to calm herself down and try her best to control her feelings.

But what she is most afraid of is... What should she do if she falls in love with Qiao Mucheng again?
Before she knew it, she had passed through the banquet hall and came to the terrace outside.

There are also drinks and seats here, but no one else is there at this time.

As soon as the cold wind blew, Jiang Luyao instantly felt a lot more awake.

She leaned on the guardrail and stood on the edge of the terrace, closing her eyes and reminding herself in her heart that the absurd idea just now must never appear again.

To meet Uncle Lei tonight is like giving her the biggest boost to her plan.After that, as long as you tell Uncle Lei what Qiao Mucheng did in the past, with his help, you will be able to avenge your revenge as soon as possible.

At this time, she can't be distracted, and she can't have any thoughts that she shouldn't have to disturb her heart.

But no matter how she warned herself, the lingering thing in front of her eyes was still the look Qiao Mucheng looked at her when she inadvertently raised her head just now.

What followed was the way Qiao Mucheng spoke up for Tang Jiaren when she was taunting her, and when he stood by her side in front of Zhuang Huici.

Although he always seemed to be indifferent to everything, but when he thought about it carefully, he never once helped outsiders bully him, including his own biological mother.

Her thoughts were so chaotic that she couldn't make sense of them at all.

When he was lying on the guardrail and sighing in distress, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Withdrawing her thoughts abruptly, she turned around, only to find that it was actually Kang Yatong standing behind her.

After a moment of silence, Kang Yatong spoke first, "Why did you leave my brother behind and come here alone?"

Jiang Luyao didn't answer her question, but asked calmly, "Your brother? Is he your brother? Are you related by blood?"

Kang Yatong seemed to have guessed that she would ask such a question, smiled slightly, and replied: "His mother is also my mother now, do you think he is my brother?"

Jiang Luyao protracted his tone and said "Oh", and then asked, "Then I am your sister-in-law, why didn't you call me?"

Kang Yatong walked up to her, leaned on the railing, and said disapprovingly: "As far as I know, my mother hasn't recognized you as a daughter-in-law, so there's no way to talk about sister-in-law."

Jiang Luyao sneered, and said, "Mrs. Qiao's identity doesn't need anyone from the Kang family to admit it. As long as Qiao Mucheng admits it alone, other people's opinions don't matter."

A stern look flashed across Kang Yatong's calm eyes, and then she smiled again: "I hope you can continue to be so proud."

Her words stopped at this point, as if she meant something.

But Jiang Luyao was not fooled by her, and said casually: "Then I will accept your good words."
