Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

The next day, Qiao Ai, Lin Wanyi and Gu Nan went to the banquet on time.

The venue of the banquet was the Luo family's old house. When they arrived, there were already a lot of staggeringly expensive luxury cars parked outside.

It was around six o'clock, the sky was not yet dark but it was already showing a thick dark blue color, and the splendid and brightly lit mansion looked like a majestic palace in the dark.

As the son of Mrs. Luo, Luo Beichuan naturally wanted to welcome the guests at the door.

Qiao Ai was invited to come here, and she didn't have to go up to say hello, but Luo Beichuan saw her first, and after explaining a few words to others, she walked towards her.

Luo Beichuan wore a more casual formal suit today, and his elegant appearance was the same as when the two met for the first time.

As elders, Lin Wanyi was naturally handed over the greetings in these scenes, while Qiao Ai and Gu Nan stood quietly behind with a glass of wine after saying hello, serving as a standard background board.

After all, the identities of the two were there, and since they entered the arena, many eyes seemed to have been cast over them, and there were many people who Gu Nan knew.

Many of them were young masters who usually played around, and it was not easy for him to take Qiao Ai with him, so he leaned over and whispered, "Hey, I'll walk away for a while, follow my mother and don't run around."

Qiao Ai, dumbfounded, pushed him, "Just go, I'm not a kid."

If she knew that Gu Nan left without a shield, Qiao Ai would never let her go.

Luo Beichuan, who had to entertain other guests, didn't stay here for too long. Lin Wanyi turned her head and saw that only Qiao Ai was left. She shook her head helplessly, "This Gu Nan, he is still like a child at such a big age."

"But yes, children of your age really don't like this kind of occasion very much."

Just as Qiao Ai was about to respond, a voice suddenly interrupted, "This is Mrs. Zhou, right? I really didn't expect to see you here."

The man who spoke had a fat head and big ears, and there was not much hair left on the top of his head. He looked like he had the potential to become an upstart, and even the obviously expensive suit looked ridiculous when he was wearing it.

Lin Wanyi looked over with a smile on her face, and looked at Qiao Ai with some puzzlement, "... who is this?"

Qiao Ai choked and remained silent for a while.

It's not that she doesn't want to answer, but that she doesn't know who this man is at all.

Seemingly aware of the reason for Qiao Ai's silence, the man touched his soon-to-be-bald head and said with a smile, "I have worked with Zhou before, and I was fortunate enough to meet you. It's normal that Mrs. Zhou doesn't remember."

In fact, he just wanted to make a familiar face in front of Qiao Ai, chatted a few words that were not nutritious, and then left wisely.

Lin Wanyi also felt a little bit of smell at this moment, and patted the back of Qiao Ai's hand a few times, "If you feel that those people make you uncomfortable, you can ignore it."

The man's conversation seemed to have started, and after that, people kept coming to say hello, thinking that Qiao Ai could build a relationship with the Zhou family.

She really didn't want to pay attention to it from the bottom of her heart, but after all, it was the old man's birthday banquet, and it wouldn't be good to cause any trouble, so she just responded patiently and simply said hello.

Qiao Ai was absent-mindedly chatting with someone, so she didn't notice——in a corner not far away, there was a gaze always falling in her direction.

The man was wearing a V-neck white suit with a dark purple silk shirt inside and a delicate red rose pinned to his breast pocket. He looked like he was here to have fun.

Upon closer inspection, his face and outline were somewhat similar to Luo Beichuan's, but his age seemed younger.

"Who is Second Young Master looking at again?"

The man standing by the wall in a leisurely posture glanced sideways at the source of the sound, straightened up slowly, and the smile on his face spread a little, "Sister-in-law was joking, it's my mother's birthday party today, let's talk about this...she The old man should be unhappy."

The so-called "Second Young Master" naturally refers to the second youngest of the Luo family, Luo Jingyao, Luo Beichuan's younger brother.

Mrs. Luo had a son in her old age, and she had always doted on her little son, but in the end, this doting turned him into a playboy.

In his thirties, it's all right to be unmarried, and he has provoked a lot of romantic debts outside, and thanks to the name of the second young master of the Luo family, otherwise this life should have been taken by someone who seeks revenge.

Even though he had said so, Mrs. Luo didn't seem to care much.

She followed Luo Jingyao's gaze, and her eyes fell on Qiao Ai who was surrounded by the crowd, "I have to say, Second Young Master's vision is as good as ever, and I look at that girl very well."

After all... how could someone who can be Mrs. Zhou be so bad?
Luo Jingyao curled his lips and shook the champagne in his hand, "Sister-in-law, please don't make fun of me. I'm an old man in his thirties. It would be a joke for a child to match me."

The implication is that although he is flamboyant, at least he has a bottom line.

A complex look flashed in Mrs. Luo's eyes, and then she put on an impeccable smile, "You are the second young master of the Luo family. Is there any reason why you can't get someone you want?"

As she said that, she reached out and patted Luo Jingyao's shoulder, "Sister-in-law, I think that you and that girl look very good together, so you can't waste such a good marriage for nothing."

Having said that, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Luo Jingyao's expression didn't change, but he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, and put on an expression of "I don't understand what you're saying" on his face.

It just so happened that a friend came to look for him at this time, so he took the opportunity to leave, but Mrs. Luo obviously didn't mean to let it go.

Since it was the person Luo Jingyao wanted, of course she should help the leader.

When the people around Qiao Ai were almost gone, even Lin Wanyi was not there.Mrs. Luo seized the opportunity to go up to her and greeted her warmly, "You are Xiaoyou's daughter, right? I didn't expect to grow up so big."

Qiao Ai looked at the woman dressed in jewels in front of her, and asked politely: "... May I ask who you are?"

The words have already been spoken, but Qiao Ai already has her own guess in her heart.She had just seen this woman entertaining guests with Luo Beichuan, and if she guessed correctly, she should be Mrs. Luo.

Sure enough, the woman said next: "Look, I was so happy that I forgot to introduce myself. I am Bei Chuan's wife. I was a very good friend with your mother back then. You can call me Auntie."

When mentioning her mother, Qiao Ai's expression froze for a moment, "So it's Mrs. Luo."

She didn't call out as she said, but chose a polite but slightly unfamiliar address.Anyway, today is the first meeting between the two, and they really don't know how familiar they are.
