Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

Qiao Ai did not immediately agree.

In fact, it was mainly because of the recent uproar over the Gu family's affairs. If she went, it would be bad to involve the Ye family again.

But Ye Feifei didn't care about this, and immediately used all the tricks of playing tricks and pretending to be pitiful, "Sister Ai, you are my master, how can you not come to such an important occasion?"

After her persuasion and Mrs. Ye's persuasion, Qiao Ai finally agreed.

Zhou Chengyan didn't show much reaction to this, he only allocated his driver to Qiao Ai for safety's sake, and he didn't forget to tell her to be careful, as if treating her like a daughter.

The place of the banquet was at the Ye family's mansion, the driver took Qiao Ai there, and when she got out of the car, she was embraced by Ye Feifei who jumped over her.

Ye Feifei is wearing a pink princess dress today. The dress has a gentle and sweet style, but she doesn't care at all. She is still doing what she usually does now, and walks in affectionately holding Qiao Ai's arm.

"Let me tell you, you came today at the right time. The chef in my family made amazing dim sum. If it wasn't for today's banquet, he wouldn't even let him show his hand..."

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Ye finally couldn't hold back and said, "You child, the banquet won't start for a while, why don't you let your sister Ai go up and rest for a while?"

She still remembered that Qiao Ai was pregnant.

Ye Feifei stuffed a strawberry into her mouth, and said vaguely: "I know, I know, I will take her to my room to rest now. But Mom, you are really, sister Ai is not so fragile, okay?"

While speaking, there was a sudden noise at the door.

Ye Feifei looked over, and when she saw someone coming, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said to Qiao Ai: "Sister Ai, wait for me here for a while, I'll go over and say hello, and I'll be right back!"

The person who came was her aunt from afar. When they were young, the two of them could play together the most, but after this aunt immigrated abroad, there were fewer opportunities to meet her.

Qiao Ai nodded naturally, "Well, you go, I'll go around."

Although thinking that Ye Feifei's unreliable personality would not come back for a while, Qiao Ai didn't expect that no one would be seen until the banquet started.

At this banquet, she only knew Ye Feifei and Mrs. Ye, and now Mrs. Ye was entertaining guests, so of course she couldn't go over and make trouble.

Sensing the scrutiny from others, Qiao Ai had no choice but to find a slightly secluded corner to stay.

"Is this the granddaughter of the Gu family that was mentioned in the news a few days ago? She looks gentle and gentle, but I didn't expect her to be so cruel."

"That's right, then Gu Nan is her brother after all, and it is said that he is very kind to her, so if you go down now, won't you be afraid of retribution?"

"I heard that Gu Nan is now a vegetative, and his life is useless. It's so pitiful."

Even though Father Ye was giving a speech under the chasing light, his voice was not enough to block these malicious speculations, those words uncontrollably penetrated into Qiao Ai's eardrum, making her heart tremble uncontrollably.

She clenched her palms tightly and looked up coldly.

At this moment, the chasing light just turned off, and the whole hall was restored to light. The person who spoke was shocked by Qiao Ai's stare.

Perhaps to prove herself, the woman quickly calmed down and turned her head to whisper a few words to the people around her. After that, they reached a consensus and walked towards Qiao Ai in unison.

There are few people here, so gathering around to join in the fun is actually not a big deal.

Qiao Ai could feel that the other party was malicious.

She didn't want to conflict with others, especially at the Ye family's banquet, it would inevitably cause trouble for them again.

One of the women crossed her arms, looked at Qiao Ai with a smile and said mockingly, "Hey, isn't this Miss Gu? I heard that Young Master Gu is still lying in the hospital. Are you in a leisurely mood?"

Her voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough to attract the attention of people around her.

Qiao Ai was soon placed in the center of the crowd's focus, but those with contempt in their eyes were mostly people who still had the mentality of watching the show.

But from beginning to end, no one wants to stop this farce.

Qiao Ai, who had anticipated this scene earlier, couldn't tell what she was feeling now, but suddenly felt that in this world, human words are often sharper than sharp knives.

She didn't want to get entangled with these people and turned around to leave.

The woman who found fault but was ignored felt ashamed, stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Ai's hand, "Why are you going? Guilty, if you have a guilty conscience..."

Before she finished speaking, a glass of red wine was poured directly on her face.

Ye Feifei, who came out of nowhere, slapped the cup on the table with a smile, and bared his white teeth, "Shut up if you can't speak, if you really want to be brave, you might as well come at me, and I, Ye Feifei, will accompany you!" in the end!"

She was already hot-tempered, but now that she was irritated, she became a thorn in the side, the kind who would be unlucky to anyone who touches her.

Besides, someone who is a little bit smarter should have heard that this was not just said to one person, the surrounding crowd suddenly became embarrassed.

Mrs. Ye also followed the sound and came over at this time.

Among this group of juniors, she still belonged to the kind who had the right to speak, and the surroundings immediately became quiet.

Madam Ye still had her usual gentle appearance, she glanced lightly at the woman whose face was splashed with red wine, and immediately said, "I know that all of you here have heard some rumors."

"But the reason why rumors are rumors is because they are far from the truth." As she spoke, she walked up to Qiao Ai and held her hand affectionately.

"These words shouldn't be said here, but I still don't want to see a good boy like Qiao Ai being attacked by things that people don't need. I dare not say anything else, the only thing I can guarantee is..."

"Joe Ai is a kind person like my good friend, that is, her biological mother, so it is absolutely impossible for her to do those hurtful things that she said without knowing the truth."

As soon as this remark came out, many people present were embarrassed by the words.

They really believed that Qiao Ai was not a good person because they believed one-sided words, so even when they found her being embarrassed by others, they thought in their hearts: even if she was being bullied, it was because someone was doing justice for the heavens.

However, in reality, they had already become accomplices when they had this idea.

Thanks to Mrs. Toye, after that little episode, Qiao Ai had a good time at the banquet, and even met a few friends with the same hobbies, which is not a small gain.

Also because of Mrs. Ye's words, Qiao Ai's reputation among outsiders was finally saved.

Zhou Chengyan was a little angry when he first heard that she was almost bullied, but thinking about it, he felt that it was a blessing in disguise to some extent.

But if there is a next time, he can't let Qiao Ai attend alone.
