Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

Mrs. Zhou, in Zhou Chengyan's office.Zhou Chengyan lay on his back in his huge boss swivel chair, turning around casually.His pair of black eyes looked thoughtfully at the ceiling for a while, and at the two exquisite invitation cards in his hands for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As soon as he got to work, Xia Yi handed him these two invitations with a strange expression, "Young Master Zhou, someone said that the old lady of the Gu family specially invited you and your wife to their banquet tonight." As the saying goes: Three days for invitation , two days for calling, the same day for lifting.Generally, those who invite people to a banquet, at least send invitations three days in advance to show respect.

As early as when he first came to City B, Zhou Chengyan had arranged for Xia Yi to investigate the character traits of the Gu family.Regarding Old Madam Gu's character, apart from the fact that she dotes on her granddaughter Gu Youyou so much that she spoils Gu Youyou to the point of being willful and domineering, she has always had a good reputation with the outside world.It stands to reason that she shouldn't be ignorant of this etiquette.But now he didn't play the cards according to the rules. There were two reasons: either he ignored Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Ai and deliberately underestimated them; or he ignored the matter out of desperation.

The Gu family has always sought cooperation with the Zhou family, ignoring him?it's out of the question.Then there is only one possibility for the next... Thinking of this, Zhou Chengyan slightly hooked the corners of his lips, picked up his mobile phone and called Qiao Ai, "Honey, get ready, I'll pick you up later, let's go together I'm going to buy an evening dress."

……

Hilton Hotel in City B.Gu Nan's father, Gu Qiming, is away all year round, and usually comes back once a long time. Every time he comes back, the family will hold a banquet. .Many of Gu's old friends came to the hotel early, surrounded Gu Qiming, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and exchanged cups with him, chatting happily.On the other hand, Gu Youyou hid in an inconspicuous place, keeping her eyes on the direction of the door, anxiously waiting for something.

When Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Ai appeared gracefully at the entrance of the banquet hall, Gu Youyou's eyes lit up instantly.She narrowed her eyes slightly, with an expression of wanting to see the show on her face, and silently sent a message on her mobile phone: They are here, and I will see you later.In order to attend the Gu family's banquet, Zhou Chengyan specially took Qiao Ai to order a decent and expensive dress.This dress is not as sexy as ordinary evening dresses, but it makes Qiao Ai more youthful and charming.

Qiao Ai held Zhou Chengyan's arm and slowly walked into the banquet hall, her mood was involuntarily turbulent.It's hard to explain, when she found out that she was going to attend Gu's banquet with Zhou Chengyan, she became emotional for no reason.Why?Is it because his mother is also surnamed Gu?Qiao Ai silently shook her head in her heart, she really wanted to find out her mother's life experience so much that she was a little dazed.The man next to her seemed to sense her strangeness, and asked softly, "What? Nervous?" Qiao Ai looked at Zhou Chengyan's concerned gaze from the side, and smiled, "It's okay."

"Brother Zhou!" Suddenly, an unexpected voice came out of nowhere, and when the two heard the call, they both frowned in unison.When looking back, Gu Youyou was already very close to the two of them.I don't know what Gu Youyou did on her face that was not bad at all. It was probably because she applied several thick layers of foundation to cover up the scars, so that when she moved her face a little, she would be It looks like the powder will fall off.

"Miss Gu, long time no see." After Zhou Chengyan heard the "Brother Zhou", Qiao Ai could feel the air-conditioning coming out of his whole body. After all, it was the home of the Gu family. In order to prevent Gu Youyou from being too embarrassed, she ignored the The suspect took the initiative to say hello to Gu Youyou.Unexpectedly, she didn't appreciate her at all, turned a deaf ear to her kindness, and directly treated her like air, still looking at Zhou Chengyan infatuatedly, the light in his eyes was equivalent to a large light bulb of hundreds of watts,

"Brother Zhou, I'm so glad that you can come to our Gu family's banquet. This is your first time here. Come, let me show you around and introduce my family and the celebrities in our city B." As he said that, he was about to go forward and grab Zhou Chengyan's hand.Just when Zhou Chengyan frowned and wanted to unceremoniously pat the salty pig's hand that Gu Youyou handed over, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, distracting their attention and avoiding the embarrassment below, "It seems that this is The long-renowned Zhou Chengyan is gone."

Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Aiqi looked at the person who came.Qiao Ai didn't know her, but she had basically guessed the identity of this Mianshan old lady, and Zhou Chengyan had seen the information of Gu's family, so he was no stranger.The person who spoke was Mrs. Gu.Qiao Ai was just about to say hello, but the old lady Gu spoke again, with a hint of sarcasm in the same gentle voice, "Our Gu family's banquet has started for half a day, you two are really late."

Although the old lady Gu's words did not contain guns and sticks, she also implied that Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Ai had no sense of time.Moreover, although Mrs. Gu said "two people", her eyes were always fixed on Zhou Chengyan's body, and she didn't look at Qiao Ai.Qiao Ai was calm in her heart, presumably she and Gu Youyou had a holiday, the old lady Gu knew a little bit about it, her grandparents and grandchildren were of one mind, she had nothing to complain about, so she decided not to speak anymore, just kept being polite and elegant A smile stayed by Zhou Chengyan's side.

After all, he is an elder, and it is very likely that he has some kind of relationship with Qiao Ai, so even if Mrs. Gu's words were slightly teasing, Zhou Chengyan didn't intend to care about it, but the matter still needs to be explained, "Then this person in front of me must be The old lady Gu is highly respected." The old lady smiled but nodded slightly.

"Don't be surprised. Ai Ai and I came late, there is indeed a reason. One is because we received the invitation late—" Zhou Chengyan deliberately prolonged the ending of the following sentence, and then paused before continuing, " I just received it this morning; the second is because our husband and wife attach great importance to Mrs. Gu's kind invitation, especially my wife Qiao Ai. After hearing about your invitation, I was so excited that I specially sent the design competition Putting aside the preparations, I went to customize a dress specially to show respect for you and Gu family. Just like this, we changed our clothes from the dress shop and ran directly to the hotel, but it was still a bit late. "
