After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Qin Fei blinked and looked at Shi Yi suspiciously, "Then what should I do?"

Shi Yi leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words softly. Qin Fei's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Before she could speak, Shi Yi said, "I know you have a temper that refuses to admit defeat, but sometimes you still have to give in appropriately. You don't want Uncle Qin to be disgusted, right?"

Qin Fei bit her lip, although she was a little reluctant, she did not refute.

The banquet downstairs was coming to an end, and Qiao Xing didn't take a few bites. She didn't know whether she should eat most of the dishes, so she could only pick some vegetables to eat.

Wang Yu noticed it and said with a smile, "Xingxing, do you have no appetite? I don't think you eat much."

Qiao Xing nodded, "Ah, yes, didn't you say that you are losing weight recently?"

"You have to do your best to lose weight, and dieting alone won't do it. Try this Dongpo pork, it's even more delicious than the ones in restaurants outside."

Wang Yu picked up a piece of meat with serving chopsticks and put it on her plate. Qiao Xing looked unhappy when she saw the fatty meat.

Just looking at it makes me a little queasy.

She smiled reluctantly, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the meat, put it in her mouth and took a bite.

The taste was good, but she still felt it was too greasy, so she put it down after taking one bite.

"Don't you like it?"

Qiao Xing waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I'm full and can't eat anymore."

"Well, if you can't eat it, don't force it."

Qiao Xing put down his chopsticks and said, "Please use it slowly."

She got up and ran away from the dining table and came to sit in the living room, where several young people were chatting and playing with their mobile phones.

“Grandma Xiang’s new summer style is really eye-catching.”

"No one has bought it yet."

"It's so funny. Although it looks ugly, at least the style is unique. People will recognize it as soon as you wear it and show off."

"Either these brands know how to market."

Qiao Xing glanced at the girls who were talking. They were only in their twenties and didn't look old.

But you can see the self-confidence radiating from their bones in every gesture, and the contempt and arrogance that comes with their brows when they mention the things that some people admire.

Qiao Xing sat aside silently. She knew she couldn't fit in, so she wouldn't melt in.

She was sitting there playing with her mobile phone, and the girls also noticed her, and then they gathered together, muttering something in a much lower voice.

Qin Ce has been abroad all year round, and most people don't know him. During the time he returned to Kyoto, he more or less heard about it from his elders.

There are also many people who use him as a positive teaching material to teach them a lesson, saying that they started a company by themselves, and then they all know about it.

I came here today and saw myself. He is handsome, young and promising. The most important thing is that he has a wife, but she is an ordinary person.

Everyone wants to see what is special about this wife.

But looking at her this way, there seems to be nothing special about her except that she is beautiful. This will make her life unbalanced and make her feel unworthy of Qin Ce.

Most people have a hard time accepting that people who are not as good as them live better than them, or break into their circle.

Qiao Xing raised his head and looked over there. Their voices were so low that he couldn't hear what they were saying.

But you can guess from the raised corners of their mouths that they are not good words.

Qiao Xing didn't know if her decision to come here was right, at least until now she had never seen anyone who truly showed kindness to her.

This feeling is exactly the same as the feeling of being isolated and ridiculed when I went to Qiao Hong's house to pay New Year's greetings when I was a child. It is impossible to say that I don't care at all.

He is not a saint, a god who has no desires and desires, how can he really not care about other people's opinions.

At this moment, someone suddenly ran in from outside and said to Qin Liang: "Master, there are two people outside, saying..."

The man turned his head and looked at Qiao Xing, probably not thinking of what to call him.

Qin Liang asked, "What is it?"

"They said they were the eldest mistress's family and they were coming to wish the great master a birthday."

The two people's voices were not loud, but those who were close heard it. Qin Liang regretted why he asked him face to face. Now it was impossible for people to drive him away directly.

But think about it, even if he drives her away quietly, those relatives will talk nonsense outside, and with what happened today, everyone in the world will know that he treated his daughter-in-law harshly.

Thinking of this, he raised his chin and said, "Invite people in."

Qiao Xing didn't know what was going on yet, but it didn't take long for her to find out.

She saw Qiao Hong and Qiao Ying arriving.

The moment he saw them, Qiao Xing suddenly stood up, his face changing unexpectedly.

She looked for Qin Ce and saw him in the crowd opposite. When he saw Qiao Hong, he was also looking for Qiao Xing.

After seeing Qiao Xing, he came to her side quietly and held her hand comfortingly.

Qiao Xing clenched his fingers tightly and whispered, "Why is he here?"

How does he know where the Qin family is?How do you know Grandpa Qin’s birthday?

Qin Ce stared at the two people and whispered: "Of course someone told them."

"Who?"

Qin Ce didn't say anything. It was hard to say who this was, because calling Qiao Hong over was too deliberate. Everyone would think of Wang Yu.

And often things that are too obvious are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Qiao Hong was carrying an exaggerated gift box. When he came in and saw the group of people in the room, he was very frightened. But he was here and thinking of his troubles, he still walked in bravely.

He didn't know anyone except Qin Ce, so he didn't know who to say hello to first.

Qin Liang walked up first and said, "Who is this?"

Qiao Hong looked at him and saw that he was somewhat similar to Qin Ce, so he immediately had a backbone. He stretched out his hand with a smile, "Hello, dear, hello. I am Xingxing's father. My name is Qiao Hong."

Qin Liang also stretched out his hand to shake his hand. With so many people watching, he still had to do some face-saving work. "It turns out they are in-laws. Why are you here now?"

"It's not a traffic jam on the road. I'm really sorry that I'm late. It's my in-laws' birthday, so I have to come anyway. I brought some gifts, and I ask my in-laws not to dislike it."

With a polite smile on his face, Qin Liang took the gift and handed it to the servant next to him, "That's very polite of you. It's fine if you come. You can bring whatever gifts you want."

When Qiao Hong heard this, he felt so relieved that he even straightened his back.

"I want it. It's the first time we meet. I definitely want it. Where is the father-in-law? I haven't said hello to him yet."

Qin Liang made an invitation gesture, "This way, follow me."

Qiao Hong followed him through the crowd with a smile on his face and came to the old man. Qiao Ying, who was following him, looked around, looking for Qin Yi.

But not found.

Qin Yi hid when he saw her, and she couldn't find him anywhere.
