Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

After driving for about an hour, the car finally arrived at the banquet location.After getting off the car, Qiao Ai was fascinated by the scene here.It was in the evening, and the setting sun was setting in the distance, and the golden afterglow sprinkled on the carefully arranged garden, which seemed to cover the whole venue with a hazy veil.

They came neither early nor late, people were probably already here, and the banquet had already begun.The waiter shuttled among the guests with drinks and drinks, and acquaintances gathered together in small groups to chat about topics of interest.Because it was outdoors, the whole banquet site did not appear crowded and messy, but gave people a comfortable feeling.Of course, the arrival of Zhou Chengyan still brought quite a shock to the banquet.

A group of people gathered around Ye Xuanmin, the president of the Ye family, to ask for advice, "Old Ye, who is that one? You don't look like an ordinary person at first glance?" Ye Xuanmin laughed, "You don't know. That person is a famous person in City A. Zhou Chengyan and Young Master Zhou, the current real power holder of the Zhou family." "Oh, let me tell you, it seems that I have a good eye, and I can tell that it is not a thing in the pool." "I didn't expect you, Lao Ye, to have such a face. To be able to invite Zhou Chengyan to the banquet." Ye Xuanmin smiled but said nothing. "Yes, it's a rare opportunity. If any of us gets involved with Zhou's and cooperates, the company won't have to worry about it in recent years."

"Let's go, what are you doing here with such a good opportunity, go get acquainted first..." "Yeah, Lao Ye, please introduce me quickly." Ye Xuanmin, "Okay." Everyone swarmed to Ye Xuanmin By his side, follow him to find Zhou Chengyan.Soon, Zhou Chengyan was surrounded by a group of people. After Qiao Ai greeted everyone, he whispered in Zhou Chengyan's ear, "You can do business here. I'll go shopping by myself."

Zhou Chengyan nodded, and did not forget to ask, "Be careful." Qiao Ai agreed and left the crowd.It seems that the owner of the villa is a romantic person who loves gardening flowers and plants. Qiao Ai went to the less crowded part of the garden, and saw potted plants of various shapes and some tropical plants everywhere.Qiao Ai wandered aimlessly through the garden, and came across a rather large blue-and-white porcelain flowerpot by chance, and saw that it was full of lotus flowers.

Because it was evening, the lotus had already put away its petals, but the green lotus leaves covered the entire flower pot, and there were a few crystal clear water drops dotted on it, which was very beautiful.What is even more surprising is that a dragonfly is lying on a lotus flower, shaking its wings slightly.Qiao Ai bent down and watched all this in surprise, she liked it so much that she didn't even notice that there was a person standing beside her. "Xiaoyou?" A slightly hesitant and pleasantly surprised voice lingered in Qiao Ai's ears like a reverberating sound.

Although it wasn't calling her, Qiao Ai felt that the voice was too pleasant, and it gave her an indescribable intimacy, making her unconsciously look in the direction of the voice.Under the setting sun, an elegant middle-aged woman stood not far away, with an unbelievably complicated expression on her face, she looked at her without blinking.Looking around, Qiao Ai found that she was the only one nearby, and asked the middle-aged woman puzzledly, "Are you talking to me? What did you just say?
Sorry I didn't catch you. The middle-aged woman was stunned for a few seconds before recovering, but she still looked at Qiao Ai in a daze, "Oh, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person.You were standing there just now, wearing this dress. From a distance, you looked a bit like an old friend of mine. "

Qiao Ai was startled, like an old friend? "Then may I ask, what is the last name and name of your old friend?" Qiao Ai blurted out. In her mind, she vaguely remembered that the middle-aged woman said "Xiaoyou" just now, but she was not sure.Qiao Ai always remembered her purpose of coming to City B. The mystery of her mother's life experience weighed on her heart like a big rock, so she didn't want to let go of any clues.

The middle-aged woman thought for a moment, she seemed to have something to say, she didn't answer Qiao Ai's question, she just repeated what she said just now, "It's just too similar." At that time, Xiaoyou had a similar dress.When the two of them went out to play together, they walked to the pond, and Xiaoyou looked at the lotus in the pond in the same way.The scene just now was as real as if she went back to the past through a time machine and saw Xiaoyou right in front of her eyes.

Qiao Ai knows that everything should not be rushed. Since people don't want to talk about it now, she can't force it, so she just smiled lightly and changed the topic, "You—what's your name? Are you also here to attend the banquet?" Middle-aged woman Smiling slightly, whispering softly, "I am the host of today's banquet, the wife of Ye Xuanmin, the president of the Ye family——Mei Zhiru. Who is this lady?" Qiao Ai also introduced herself generously, "Hello, Mrs. Ye, I It’s Zhou Chengyan’s wife from City A, and my name is Qiao Ai.” Madam Ye suddenly realized, “So it’s Madam Zhou, no wonder she has such a special temperament, I was so fascinated just now.”

"Mrs. Ye, you are joking. Compared with you, I am really ashamed." Qiao Ai said truthfully.Madam Ye's demeanor is indeed extraordinary, elegant and noble, with the unique charm of middle-aged women. "Are we two flattering each other?" Mrs. Ye pursed her lips and smiled, and Qiao Ai also smiled.After chatting with Mrs. Ye for a few more words, Qiao Ai said that he would go to enjoy the scenery in the garden before the night was too dark. Mrs. Ye watched Qiao Ai leave.If she didn't know Xiaoyou's daughter, then she would definitely think that the girl in front of her is Xiaoyou's biological daughter. She looks and looks too similar. Mrs. Ye looked at Qiao Ai's back and did not leave for a long time.

Qiao Ai left Mrs. Ye, and went to another place with a gazebo alone. She saw a little girl sitting in the gazebo with her back facing her. She seemed to be sketching, so she was curious and moved closer to her.The little girl painted very seriously, and the works on the drawing board in her hand were basically coming to an end.Sensing someone beside her, the little girl raised her head.The moment the two looked at each other, they both exclaimed in unison. "Ye Feifei!" "Mr. Qiao!" Seeing Qiao Ai, Ye Feifei stood up from the stone bench excitedly, threw herself in front of Qiao Ai, and said quickly, "You came to accept me as a disciple yourself. Is it? I didn’t complete the task you gave me last time, so I had to come back first. However, I didn’t intend to give up, you see—” He said, holding the drawing board in front of Qiao Ai, “I am a A very hard-working apprentice."
