The two walked into the restaurant, and Chu Nanshan motioned for them to sit down. Chu Heng glanced at Yue Qiao and felt that he seemed familiar.

"Have we met before?"

Yue Qiao felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had once asked his brother-in-law to go to the police station.

Chu Jiao also remembered what happened that night and almost laughed again. "Brother, you are wrong..."

"Am I seeing things?" Chu Heng had some self-doubt. After all, he was drunk that day. "Oh! They do look a bit alike."

Yue Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, his expression returning to normal, "Uncle Chu, I brought you a gift."

After saying that, he handed the birdcage to the housekeeper. After seeing the bird in the cage clearly, Chu Nanshan nodded with satisfaction.

As if realizing something, he turned around and looked at his little traitor, and saw Chu Jiao sticking out her tongue embarrassedly.

Chu Nanshan smiled. It was true that girls cannot be kept when they grow up. However, Yue Qiao looked more reliable than Lu Ye.

He has a decent appearance and a righteous aura. Such a tough and handsome appearance is that of a real man. He is much better than that sissy Lu Ye.

You can't say that he likes this guy very much, but this guy is a little too cold. "Let's eat first!"

The head of the family spoke and everyone started to eat. Yue Qiao was not a talkative person to begin with, and his father didn't say anything either, which made the atmosphere a little too quiet.

Chu Jiao bit her lower lip with her teeth, very nervous. Then she kicked her brother and blinked at him.

Chu Heng understood what his sister meant immediately. She wanted him to find something to talk about, but he didn't know what to talk about.

"Um...brother-in-law...I heard recently that there was a murder case that attracted a lot of attention. What happened to the woman who killed her husband?"

Yue Qiao put down his chopsticks with a serious expression, "He was shot."

Uh... Chu Heng felt like a mouthful of food was stuck in his throat. He felt like he was being shot.

Well... the topic was ended with just three words from him. Chu Jiao's face was filled with black lines, and she quickly kicked her brother again.

Chu Heng smiled awkwardly, "Oh! He was shot!" What else could he say if he was already shot?

He spoke again, "Has the child trafficker been caught?"

Yue Qiao still had an icy face, "He was also shot..."

"Bang!" Another shot, Chu Heng felt bad all over. He swallowed a mouthful of food. The feeling of oppression made him inexplicably panic, as if he would be the next one to be shot.

No...he hasn't broken any law, why is he so panicked?

Well, there was no more chatting today. Chu Jiao held her forehead with her hand and ate her food in silence.

Chu Nanshan laughed out loud. His prospective son-in-law was quite interesting. "Does your family agree to this marriage?"

Yue Qiao felt that this was a major event in his life, so he was particularly serious, as if he was meeting a leader. "I agree..."

These two words were concise and to the point. Chu Jiao was so angry that she laughed. But thinking that he was just that kind of person, she curled the corners of her lips helplessly.

Chu Nanshan nodded. This son-in-law is really frugal with words. It is obvious that he is not a considerate person.

He was just about to say something when he heard Chu Jiao's phone ringing. Chu Jiao was startled and knocked her hand on the corner of the table.

Upon seeing this, Yue Qiao took her hand and checked it, "Does it hurt?" There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Chu Jiao wanted to say that it didn't hurt, as she had been trained since childhood so this injury was nothing. But for some reason, her eyes moved as if she wanted him to worry about her, so that he wouldn't be so cold again.

"It hurts..." Then she sniffed, and her eyes turned red instantly, "Hubby... it hurts." The delicate tone made Chu Heng almost choke again. Is this still her sister?

Tsk... look at that pitiful face and how frail he looks. Can he still eat?

Yue Qiao frowned and said, "I'll go buy you some medicine." Then he stood up and did it himself.

At this time, the housekeeper came over with a medicine box, "Mr. Yue has a medicine box at home."

"Thank you!" Yue Qiao thanked her and took the medicine box to help her treat the small wound on her hand.

Chu Heng couldn't help but complain, "Brother-in-law... hurry up or my sister's wound will heal."

However, Yue Qiao held her hand with his big hand and handled it very seriously, without being affected at all, and did not take his hand away until he had bandaged Chu Jiao.

Chu Jiao had a sweet smile on her face and cried out in pain from time to time. The father and son of the Chu family only felt a pain in their teeth.

Only Yue Qiao helped her pick up the food throughout the whole process, and almost fed it to her mouth.

Chu Nanshan seemed to understand why her daughter chose Yue Qiao. Looking at the smile on her daughter's face, it was a smile she had never had before when she was with Lu Ye.

He liked to see a smile on his daughter's face, just like a vigorous sunflower that should grow towards the sun.

Only when the sun appears does it exude vitality, and only when she is with him can she be herself.

Yue Qiao was a man who was indifferent but not cold-hearted, serious but also chivalrous and tender. For some reason he felt that these two were a perfect match.

Maybe he should have a good talk with Yue Qiao...

"Child, come to the study with me..." Thinking of this, Chu Nanshan's tone became much softer.

Yue Qiao nodded and followed Chu Nanshan to the study. At this moment, he relaxed. This was a conversation between men, and he should face it like a man.

When Chu Jiao saw the two of them leave, she quickly stood up and tried to follow them, but was pulled back by Chu Heng, "Where are you going?"

This made Chu Jiao speechless, "Brother! Don't you want to eavesdrop?"

Chu Heng finally realized that the fire of gossip was burning again, "Let's go..."

The two of them tiptoed quietly to the front of the study. Chu Jiao couldn't hear the sound from inside, so she put her ear against the door.

"Officer Yue, I think you are very clear about the situation in our family!" Chu Nanshan looked at Yue Qiao with a serious face, and his wise eyes did not miss any expression on his face.

Yue Qiao nodded, "I understand."

"Then you should also know the grudge between our two families!" Chu Nanshan pointed it out directly.

Yue Qiao remained calm and composed, "Yes! I know."

"What do you think of our Jiaojiao? Maybe you don't understand her." Even though Chu Nanshan has been in the business world for many years, he couldn't see what Yue Qiao was thinking.

His face was still calm without any unnecessary expression. "Jiaojiao is fine..."

"Then you should know that you are not a good match. Our family is completely opposite to the environment you are in now."

Yue Qiao clenched his hands slightly, and he looked at Chu Nanshan firmly, "Uncle, maybe I don't know Jiaojiao well enough, but I know she is a kind-hearted girl."

He still remembers that day when he was on duty and Chu Jiao was carrying a child across the road. Until she sent the child to his parents, the smile on her face was so bright and beautiful.

He also remembered the helplessness, pain, despair and persistence revealed in her eyes when she came to see him that day.

“I don’t know what she’s been through, but I know she never gave up on the sunshine, and I want to use all my strength to pull her out of the gray space.

I will spend the rest of my life protecting the smile on her face."

Chu Nanshan didn't expect that Yue Qiao thought this way. He even understood his daughter better than he did and knew what she needed.

"How do you make me trust you?"

"I will prove it to you with actual actions..." Yue Qiao has always felt that nothing can prove a person better than actual actions. He knows that he is not likable and will not say sweet words, but he just wants to give the best to Chu Jiao.

Chu Nanshan was very satisfied with his answer. Who wouldn't like a responsible and accountable man? No wonder Jiaojiao said he had good character.

In his opinion, Yue Qiao is much stronger than Lu Ye.

"Okay... Then I will leave my daughter to you. I hope you will keep your promise."

After the two finished chatting and walked out of the study, they saw Chu Jiao standing at the door with tears streaming down her face, "Dad...thank you."

Chu Nanshan rubbed the top of Chu Jiao's head and said, "Silly child, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by Yue Qiao?"

Yue Qiao helped her wipe away her tears, and then Chu Jiao threw herself into her arms, "You can't lie to my dad!"

Yue Qiao hugged her back and said, "Hmm!", "Does your hand still hurt?"

Chu Jiao sniffed, "I'm just scared!"

Yue Qiao patted her back slowly, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything..."

When the two of them came out of the Chu family, Chu Jiao even gave her father a bird. Even when they walked out of the villa, they could still hear Chu Nanshan's angry voice, "Chu... Jiao..."
