Seeing his sudden change of expression, Qiao Xingcan became suspicious, "What's wrong?"

Qi Zhan lowered his head slightly to hide the look in his eyes. He didn't have any so-called virginity complex, but he was indeed extremely possessive in his feelings and paranoid about wanting both of them to belong to each other completely.

He pursed his lips, suppressed the thoughts that were swirling in his heart, and tried to speak as normally as possible, "It's nothing. I want to know if he is sick. I'll have someone check it out."

Qiao Xingcan nodded, "If it is true as you guessed, and Su Ruan is using the child as a blackmail, Lu Ming will have to let go!" She paused for a few seconds and then frowned slightly, "But there is still something I can't figure out. Since she knows that her child is her only bargaining chip to marry into the Lu family, how can she still dare to ask me to meet alone? On the surface, she is afraid that I will hurt her child, so she came to me to make peace, but I always feel that she is a bit unnecessary! "

Qi Zhan followed her words and said, "The Lu family will definitely protect her as a rare animal. It does not make sense for her to suddenly show weakness to you when she is absolutely safe."

Qiao Xingcan frowned, "What evil do you think she is holding back?"

Qi Zhan's stern face was calm and his eyes were as dark as ink, "No matter what she wants to do, I will not let you be hurt again!"

Qiao Xingcan stared at him intently, feeling not only a moment of peace of mind, but also an uncontrollable heartbeat.

The host came on stage and said a long opening speech, and then invited the groom-to-be and bride-to-be, as well as their parents to come to the stage to deliver speeches.

Su Ruan was wearing a pure white quilted dress and a pair of flat shoes, and was carefully helped up to the stage by Lu Ze.

She was thin and weak, and even with heavy makeup, she couldn't hide the fatigue on her face.

Lu Ming was in a wheelchair and was pushed by Dong Qian. In just a few months, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years. He was in his early fifties, but his hair had turned gray and he looked senile.

Qiao Xingcan couldn't help but sigh, "Looking at Lu Ming's condition, he probably won't be able to live without a wheelchair for the rest of his life!"

Qi Zhan sneered, "If you have a son like Lu Ze on your side, if he doesn't get angry to death, then he has a good attitude!"

Qiao Xing turned her head to look at him and found that he was staring directly at Dong Qian. He said he didn't care, but the moment he straightened his body revealed his inner feelings.

A flash of distress flashed in her eyes, and she calmly put her hand on his arm, silently comforting him.

Qi Zhan's eyes didn't linger on Dong Qian for long. He looked away, smiled lightly and patted the back of Qiao Xingcan's hand.

Qiao Xingcan tentatively asked, "How about we go?"

Qi Zhan tried his best to look calm and calm, "You're here, if you don't say congratulations in person, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"

While the two were talking, Lu Ming on the stage had already begun to deliver a speech, "First of all, thank you all for coming to Ozawa's engagement banquet. On behalf of the Lu and Su families, I welcome you all..."

The two big families on the stage gave speeches one after another. Qiao Xingcan listened to their long-winded upset and turned her head to talk to Qi Zhan in a low voice, "You said that on such an important day for Su Ruan to get engaged, why didn't her half-brother Su Yan? Come?"

Qi Zhan chuckled, "What is Su Yan here for? To steal a marriage?"

Qiao Xingcan's eyes lit up, and he seemed to smell a hint of gossip, "What do you mean?"

Qi Zhan took a sip of red wine and said calmly, "Su Yan has a good relationship with Lin Jingxing. I also heard from Lin Jingxing that Su Yan liked Su Ruan, so Chang Xiangyun was always on guard against Su Ruan, for fear that she would have sex with her son. Hook up together.”

"Aren't they related by blood? Why did Su Yan..." Qiao Xingcan was dumbfounded when he heard this. This was no longer a simple gossip issue, but directly elevated to ethics!

"How do you think she, an illegitimate daughter, survived to such an age from the jealous Chang Xiangyun? She relied on Su Yan's protection when she was a child, and then took control of Lu Ze when she grew up. She is such a person A typical person who can't live without a man, as long as it's profitable, she can kill her, not to mention her half-brother, even her biological brother!"

Qiao Xingcan was silent after hearing this. He could only say that Su Ruan was indeed ruthless and would do anything to achieve his goals!

Finally, when the ceremony was over, the elders of the Lu and Su families went to entertain their relatives and friends. Perhaps because they saw Qi Zhan sitting here, Dong Qian pushed Lu Ming to the other side, obviously avoiding him on purpose.

Qi Zhan's eyes became a little darker, and he drank with his head down, but the hurt in his eyes couldn't be healed.

Lu Ze and Su Ruan also started the toasting session with red wine and juice.

When he arrived at their table, Lu Ze seemed to have just noticed Qiao Xingcan and Qi Zhan. He was stunned for a few seconds, and he came to his senses after Su Ruan pulled off his cuffs.

His expression was complicated and unclear, "What are you doing here?"

Qiao Xingcan raised her eyebrows and smiled at him, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "Miss Su personally sent me an invitation, a warm invitation. Even if I don't give you face, I still have to give it to Miss Su. Mr. Lu, why don't you ask your fiancée? What do you mean by calling me here?"

When she finished speaking, Su Ruan's face froze suddenly, and then he smiled, "After all, we have met each other. On this special day, I want Miss Qiao to come and share the joy. I wish you and Mr. Qi will achieve success as soon as possible!"

Qiao Xingcan's eyes narrowed slightly, "You two are the protagonists today. I haven't blessed you yet, but you are worrying about me first?"

Su Ruan's smile was far-fetched, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Qiao Xingcan picked up the red wine glass and stood up without taking it seriously, "I wish Miss Su and Mr. Lu a happy marriage for a hundred years, stay together for the rest of their lives, and never give up!"

After she said that, regardless of the expressions of the two people opposite her, she just raised her head and did it.

Qi Zhan sat firmly on the chair from beginning to end, neither pouring wine nor getting up. He looked at Lu Ze expressionlessly, "Today is a happy day. I wish you will be kind and all your wishes will come true!" After a pause, he smiled and said, "I saw Lu Shen just now. I wonder if he suddenly returned to China to congratulate you on your engagement, or to come back to help you solve your problems?"

The last sentence hit Lu Ze directly in the lungs. The outside world didn't know it, but he didn't know it in his heart!

Lu Shen has always been ambitious and always wanted to compete with him for family property, so he was ordered by Lu Ming not to return to the country. This time Lu Ming asked Lu Shen to come back, whether it was to take the opportunity to make him feel in danger, or because the scales in his heart were no longer completely tilted. For him, it was enough to make Lu Ze wary.

He stared at Qi Zhan with gloomy eyes. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could not say anything more and could only suppress the anger in his heart and turn around and leave.

Su Ruan didn't have time to think too much, glanced deeply at Qiao Xingcan, turned around and chased after him quickly.

Qiao Xingcan looked at the backs of the two people fleeing, feeling happy. She didn't sit down, but bent down slightly and said to Qi Zhan, "I'm going to the bathroom, and we'll leave when we get back."

Qi Zhan nodded slightly, "I'll wait for you."

Qiao Xingcan left the banquet hall and walked to the bathroom. As soon as she reached the door, she heard the voices of several women talking inside, and her name was mentioned.

She paused and stood at the door openly listening to their chatter.
