Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

The others hurriedly gave her winks.


But the man got it wrong, and explained with a smile: "Auntie likes girls with your personality the most. It just so happens that that brat in my family is also at the age of marriage, so I want to ask a few more questions."


After Qiao Ai's crow-like eyelashes trembled a few times, an impeccable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she replied: "There is no one with the same father and the same mother, but there is one with the same father, but she is already married. Husband It's Xiang Zizhen from the Xiang family, I think everyone should have heard of it."


The man's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "You are the illegitimate daughter of the Qiao family!"


As soon as she said the words, she knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and anxiously wanted to make up for it: "I...I didn't mean that, it was just too unexpected, I..."


Looking at this woman who wanted to explain in a panic, but her eyes were full of "how is it possible", before Qiao Ai said anything, Mrs. Zhou frowned in displeasure.


"What's so unexpected about this news?"


The old lady Zhou was able to control Qiao's family as a woman back then, relying on her eclectic vision and courage, she naturally didn't care about those views of family status.


But these women who married early, married and had children, and then fought with their mother-in-law and mistress for half their lives, were the only ones who didn't have the courage to fight with men.


Mrs. Zhou has always looked down on these women the most.


She wouldn't talk about these topics with these people before, but Qiao Ai is her granddaughter-in-law, not to mention, Qiao Ai is not an illegitimate daughter at all.


"You look down on the illegitimate children of your own family, so you go to your own men to get angry. You don't have the ability to settle accounts with the culprit, but you will impose the crime on the innocent child." Mrs. Zhou sneered, and said in the slightest: "Besides , who said Qiao Ai was an illegitimate child..."


"Grandma." Qiao Ai stood up suddenly, and took the teacup aside: "You have a sip of tea first."


Old lady Zhou raised her eyes, and Qiao Ai shook her head slightly.


Now is not a good time to reveal who she really is.


The old lady Zhou twirled the beads with her fingers, without saying anything more, took a sip of the tea in Qiao Ai's hand, let Qiao Ai smile slightly, and led the topic to another direction.


The atmosphere gradually warmed up, the butler stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "Madam, the Qiao family is here to celebrate your birthday."


A look of surprise flashed in Qiao Ai's eyes, she didn't expect Qiao Chongjiang and the others to come over.


"Please come in." Mrs. Zhou said quickly.


Soon, Qiao Chongjiang appeared with Li Lan and the two of them. The birthday present was a set of ordinary porcelain. After the old lady Zhou took a look at it, she put it away indifferently.


The light in Qiao Chongjiang's eyes sank, he gave Li Lan a wink, and after saying a few compliments to Mrs. Zhou, he turned and walked out.


Li Lan was watched by many people she had only heard of but never met, and felt a little nervous. Mrs. Zhou glanced at her and said calmly: "What is Mrs. Qiao doing standing there? Do it."


"Thank you, old lady." Li Lan found a chair and sat down. Seeing that Qiao Ai was sitting next to Grandma Zhou, without even looking at her, she couldn't help scolding Qiao Ai from head to toe in her heart.


Mrs. Zhou defended Qiao Ai so much, but was so indifferent to Qiao Ai's stepmother. Everyone had a conclusion in their minds, and then no one paid attention to her, and continued to chat with each other.


They talked about a wide range of topics, and they didn't even give Li Lan a chance to speak.


As time went by, Li Lan became more and more anxious.


As early as when she came here, she and Qiao Chongjiang had discussed it. The husband and wife would divide the work and cooperate. He went to make friends with Zhou Chengyan, while he was trying to curry favor with Mrs. Zhou.

It can be seen from Mrs. Zhou's attitude that she is just trying to show favor in front of others.


After thinking about it, Li Lan quickly attributed the reason to Qiao Ai!

She also heard about the banquet that day, and she asked herself, if she changed places, she would be angry because the grandson she had cultivated quietly for a woman who was not in the public eye so much.


Probably God was on her side. As soon as Li Lan had an idea, the topic of these people turned to the parents: It is said that a newly married daughter-in-law was arrogant and domineering. After three days of marriage, she was so angry that her mother-in-law had a heart attack and sent her to the hospital. hospital.


After echoing a few words that her daughter-in-law is too much, she looked at the right moment and said, "Speaking of which, Qiao Ai was spoiled by us and grew up at home. Although she won't be as unreasonable as that family, she still plays tricks to some extent." Temper, I hope you can forgive me, old lady."


Qiao Ai's subordinates paused, knowing that Li Lan was going to pour dirty water on herself.


The old lady Zhou didn't raise her eyelids, she replied calmly, "Mrs. Qiao, you are worrying too much."


"I know you are kind, old madam." Li Lan simply made the words a little clearer: "I also heard about what happened a few days ago, what Qiao Ai did was indeed too unseemly."


"Qiao Ai, you are really outrageous. No matter what, you can't let Young Master Zhou drive that family out of City A. If things go on like this, what will outsiders think of Young Master Zhou?" Li Lan is like a kind mother who speaks earnestly: " Qiao Ai, you are no longer a child, how can you still be so arrogant? You are a wife now, no matter what you do, you have to think about your husband, this is a competent wife..."


Qiao Ai interrupted her: "Me and Zhou... Cheng Yan and I are both independent personalities. I have my own ideas and he has his own. We are all adults. If we really want to do something, how can it be the other party? Can it be stopped?"


"Qiao Ai, what you said really disappointed me." Li Lan could not wait to beat her chest: "Your words don't sound like what a qualified wife would say. Zhou Shao worked hard for a day outside, and the things in life, you Naturally, we must be considerate of him first."


A mocking smile curled up on the corner of Qiao Ai's mouth, she vaguely guessed Li Lan's purpose today.


"But I have to work during the day too."


"Women still have to return home to their families after all. Since it's like this sooner or later, it doesn't matter if it's earlier." Li Lan tried to pull Mrs. Zhou into her camp: "What's more, the old lady must have wanted to hug her great-grandson for a long time. ..."


"Okay." Qiao Ai said suddenly.


A flash of surprise flashed in Li Lan's eyes. She never expected that today's goal would be achieved so smoothly, and she immediately smiled and said, "Qiao Ai, you really think so."


"Of course, what you said is not unreasonable." Qiao Ai shook her head and said troublesomely: "It's just that if that's the case, then I'll have to go to He Chengyan to handle the share transfer right a few days later, and it's a bit troublesome to think about it. "


Li Lan was like an old hen being strangled by someone: "You...you...what did you just say?!"
