Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

Chapter 173: The Half-finished Mummy

The sun shone through the curtains, and shone sparsely on her face. The warmth was dazzling, Qiao Ai moved her body, and buried herself in the quilt. Yawn sat up and found that she was alone in the room.


What about Zhou Chengyan?


Qiao Ai glanced at the time and found that it was already 11:30.


It was so late, no wonder he wasn't here.


Qiao Ai raised her hand and rubbed her temples twice. When she got out of bed, she saw the towels and other items that hadn't been packed yet.


Joey made a move.


On the way back last night, she leaned against Zhou Chengyan and fell asleep unknowingly. She only vaguely remembered that he carried her home and continued to play with her body.


Wherever his fingers passed, it was icy cold and extremely comfortable.


No wonder she didn't suffer from the headache and other sequelae after waking up from a hangover today.


Qiao Ai pursed her lips, with a sweet smile in her eyes, and went downstairs after changing her clothes.


"Uncle Zhang, what about the banquet?"


Hearing the impatience in Qiao Ai's words, Butler Zhang smiled even more: "Young master went to the company early in the morning, and he specifically ordered you to drink this hangover soup when you wake up."


Qiao Ai took the bowl handed over by the maid, and drank it down in one gulp. Before she wanted to say something, a maid ran in: "Ma'am, there is a guest who wants to see you."


"See me?" Qiao Ai frowned slightly, a little surprised: "Who is it?"


"He said his surname was Gu."


Qiao Ai snorted: "Only him?"


"No, there is another woman besides him." The maid said with some confusion: "It's just that the man seems to be injured, and his body is covered with bandages. Ma'am, do you want to see them?"


"See." Qiao Ai wiped the corners of her mouth casually, and raised the end of her eyes slightly: "I have a guest, how can I not see you?"


"Yes."


Qiao Ai turned her head and asked: "Uncle Zhang, did Cheng Yan say when he will be back?"


Uncle Zhang answered every question: "I didn't say anything, but he told you to call him when you wake up."


Qiao Ai nodded, guessing his arrangement: "There's no need to call. You ask the chef to prepare something he likes, and I'll send it to him directly later."


Zhang Boxi smiled and said, "Okay."


While talking, the maid walked in with Gu Nan and the two of them.


There is not much difference between Gu Nan and yesterday's meeting, but his expression is slightly haggard.But Gu Youyou behind him looked extremely miserable.


In addition to the thick bandages wrapped around the legs and a circle around the head, you can still vaguely see the blood oozing from the stars.


She has an ugly complexion, with the four big characters of reluctance and reluctance written all over her head to toe.


"Mrs. Zhou." Gu Nan said hello first.


"Young Master Gu." Qiao Ai walked forward with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come here suddenly. The family is not prepared at all. If there is any impoliteness, please forgive me."


A look of embarrassment flashed across Gu Nan's face.


Qiao Ai's words seemed to be polite, but in fact he was accusing him of visiting unexpectedly without even saying hello.


"But I heard from the maid that Young Master Gu came here to find me. What's the matter?"


Qiao Ai approached, and seemed to have just discovered the half-finished mummy behind him, and said in surprise: "This... this is Miss Gu? What happened? How did she become like this?"


Gu Youyou gritted her teeth hard, not liking Qiao Ai's appearance: "Are you really ignorant or are you just pretending to be stupid?"


"Gu Youyou!" Gu Nan lowered his head and scolded, full of warnings.


Gu Youyou snorted angrily, and turned her head aside forcefully.


"Mrs. Zhou, don't be as knowledgeable as her." Gu Nandao: "The two of us came here today to apologize to Mrs. Zhou."


"apologize?"


Qiao Ai rubbed her temples with her hands, and said nonsense with her eyes open: "I accidentally drank too much wine last night, and I can't remember exactly what happened. But looking at Miss Gu's appearance, her injury seems to be related to me... ..."


Qiao Ai pretended to be nervous and said, "But I don't remember that I have the habit of hitting people when I'm drunk."


"No, you, Mrs. Zhou, didn't cause her injury. It's...it's..." Gu Nan felt a little hard to say what he said next.


He seemed to have a harmonious conversation with Zhou Chengyan last night, but Zhou Chengyan's replies to him were all ambiguous and inaccurate.


This is also normal, after all, this is the first real meeting between the two of them, and to cooperate, they naturally need to get to know each other better.


But Gu Youyou admitted in front of so many people last night that she wanted to kill Qiao Ai...


With this in mind, with Zhou Chengyan's feelings for Qiao Ai, how could he still cooperate with the Gu family.


Gu Nan thought about it all night, and thought of countless ways to attribute everything last night to an accident, but in the end he chose to give up all of them.


He is not a fool, and Zhou Chengyan is not.


Playing scheming in front of smart people, if you are not sure of winning, the result will only be counterproductive.


Therefore, the best way is only the most stupid way.


That is to give up those tricks and simply come to the door to apologize.


Even though it was only a brief contact, he had an intuition when facing Qiao Ai—that is, she was not a person who would kill everyone.


In addition, Qiao Ai was the real victim of the farce last night. As long as she chooses to forgive, Zhou Chengyan will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort.


It took him a night and a whole morning to coerce and lure them all into battle before he brought Gu Youyou over to make an apology.


But she never expected that Qiao Ai lost her memory after drinking, and she didn't remember what happened last night at all.


The words twisted on the back of his tongue, and Gu Nan tried his best to use the most tactful words: "The thing is like this, everyone was so happy last night that they drank too much. Yoyo and Yixuan are still children, and they made themselves like this Not to mention, I almost accidentally hurt Mrs. Zhou by mistake."


"Look at Ms. Gu's appearance, this accidental injury is really not ordinary." Qiao Ai suddenly remembered something, and said indifferently: "Besides, if I remember correctly, Ms. Gu seems to be the same age as me?" "Yes So what?" Seeing Qiao Ai's half-smile look, Gu Youyou felt an indescribable anger surge in his heart.


They've been in for so long, especially her, her legs are still bandaged, making it inconvenient to stand, but Qiao Ai didn't even know to let them sit down.


She clearly did it on purpose!Deliberately put on such a condescending look in front of her!Show her off the fact that she is the mistress of the house!


The fire of jealousy surged up, burning Gu Youyou's few rationality and IQ.


Gu Youyou scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that Zhou Chengyan was not around, she put aside her worries, stared at Qiao Ai fiercely, and said unscrupulously: "Don't you want to know how my injuries came about? Okay, I'll tell you! It's all because of you!"
