Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

Thinking of this, Qiao Ai directly called Gu Nan and asked if he had time now.


Gu Nan readily agreed to Qiao Ai's invitation, and after inquiring about her location, he set the location at a coffee shop near Qiao Ai.


Qiao Ai hung up the phone, rubbed her temples, and thought about how to speak later, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking into a luxury store.


Xu Xinyao?

Qiao Ai frowned slightly.


She had vaguely heard people mention that her family's conditions were mediocre, and when facing her, her words and deeds also showed restraint, no matter how you looked at it, she didn't look like the kind of vain girl.


Then what is she doing in this kind of place?

With her own salary of several thousand yuan a month, she simply cannot afford the consumption here.


The other party was the designer she was most optimistic about at present, and Qiao Ai was worried that she would go the wrong way because of impulsiveness, so she followed her in.


Because Gu Youyou was dissatisfied with the furnishings of her home, and had many requirements for food and clothing, Xu Xinyao had gone to many luxury stores in the past two days. When she entered this store, she was not as restrained as she was at the beginning .


According to Bao Youyou's request, she quickly selected three or four dresses: "Please help me choose a bag to match these clothes."


It was rare for the counter lady to see such a generous customer, her face almost turned into a flower with a smile: "Okay, please wait a moment."


She quickly picked out two bags and brought them over to show Xu Xinyao one by one.


Xu Xinyao nodded: "Wrap everything up."


"Okay miss, you spent a total of 18 yuan, did you pay by card?"


"Yes." When Xu Xinyao took out the card and was about to hand it to the counter lady, a smiling voice suddenly came from behind her: "You didn't even blink when you spent 18 yuan. I didn't expect you, Xinyao, to be so forthright in private."


Xu Xinyao's body shook violently, and the bank card was so frightened that he took it out of his hand.


In mid-air, he was caught by a hand.


Qiao Ai walked up to Xu Xinyao, returned the bank card to her, and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Why are you so careless?"


Xu Xinyao managed to regain her language skills, and the hard corners of the bank card made her chaotic brain clear up a little: "Joe... Mr. Qiao, listen to me, this, this is not something I bought for myself. Yes, I give a..."


Remembering Shen Yue's warning not to let anyone know Gu Youyou's whereabouts, Xu Xinyao swallowed the words that almost blurted out: "Yes, I recently found a new part-time job to help a rich lady buy things, I..."


Seeing her sweating profusely, Qiao Ai took out a tissue, wiped the sweat off her head, and said gently: "You don't need to explain it to me in such detail, how you spend is your freedom, I'm just outside I saw you and came in to say hello."


Xu Xinyao's heart was still beating violently, she nodded nervously.


"You said this is your new part-time job. Are you short of money now?" Qiao Ai asked with concern.


Xu Xinyao lowered his head: "A little bit."


"I have vaguely heard something about your family. If you are short of money, you can come to me." Qiao Ai is relieved knowing that she has not gone wrong: "With your talent in design, I believe that in the future In a few years, you can spend here on your own salary."


"Really, really?" Xu Xinyao's eyes widened slightly.


She bought tens of thousands of dresses without blinking an eye. She didn't even dare to think about such a life.


As long as her mother's illness can be cured, and then the mother and daughter buy a house of their own in this city, she is already very content.


"Of course. Even if you don't believe in your abilities, you still have to trust my vision." Qiao Ai patted her on the shoulder: "Come on, don't be shy when you have difficulties in life, just come to me."


She smiled at Xu Xinyao again, turned around and walked out.


Looking at her leaving back, most of the jealousy in Xu Xinyao's heart towards Gu Youyou's natural ignorance of the sufferings of the people dissipated in the past few days.


She can't match her innate conditions, but she can give herself a better life with her own ability!


The tenacity of not admitting defeat bloomed in her eyes again.


……


"Sorry, I'm late."


Qiao Ai was looking at the green plants on the table in a daze, when she heard Gu Nan's voice.


She regained her senses and smiled at Gu Nan: "It's okay, I just came here not long ago. What would you like to drink?"


"Green tea is good." Gu Nan sat down opposite Qiao Ai, and said solemnly: "Just now Mrs. Zhou said on the phone that she has settled the terms, what is it?"


Qiao Ai considered the words: "I want to ask some questions about your family."


"Our family's family affairs?" Gu Nan quickly guessed what Qiao Ai wanted to ask, and directly gave the answer she couldn't be more sure of: "Impossible!"


"As early as when the people below told me that there was no result, I also suspected our family, but the clues you gave did not match Mrs. Zhou. I did have an aunt, but she passed away due to illness 25 years ago. , if I remember correctly, Mrs. Zhou seems to be only 24 years old this year?"


Even if there is no hope, Qiao Ai still feels very uncomfortable when a little fantasy is punctured like this.


She nodded dryly: "Yes."


Seeing Qiao Ai's extremely disappointed look, Gu Nan pondered for a moment, and said softly: "I think that person is very important to Mrs. Zhou. I wonder if Mrs. Zhou can give me some more clues?"


Qiao Ai opened his mouth slightly, and then quickly closed it in vain.


She shook her head slowly: "No need, I don't even know if the clues I know so far are true."


Her mother left so little.


Neither Gu Nan nor Zhou Chengyan found her in City B, and Qiao Ai even suspected that maybe her mother was not from City B at all.


In the vast sea of ​​people, where should she go to find her?


"Thank you." Qiao Ai took a deep breath and smiled at Gu Nan: "I'm in trouble today."


Gu Nan followed and stood up: "Mrs. Zhou is polite, this question is nothing to me. My Gu family still owes you three conditions."


Qiao Ai shook her head, and said firmly: "It's been agreed in advance, let's change this question to another condition. Don't worry, Young Master Gu, if you still need your help in the future, I will definitely not be polite."


She nodded slightly to Gu Nan again: "I'll take my leave first."


Qiao Ai walked out of the coffee shop, thought about it, and went back to Qiao's house.


After Qiao Lu and the others left, she asked the servants at home to put away all her mother's things and put them in the room where she lived before.


The things left by her mother have been destroyed by Li Lan one after another over the years. There is not even a single photo that can be used to see things and think about others, only some design drafts found from Li Lan.
