If it werenât for her grandfather and because she needed to ask for an explanation, she wouldnât have stepped into this place at all.
Seeing her arrive, the butler came over and guided her in, treating her as a guest.
Qiao Weiyang sneered and walked into the living room.
âOld Madam, Eldest Miss is back.â
Only then did Old Madam Qiao look at Qiao Weiyang. She was so angry that her nose almost crooked.
Qiao Weiyang was wearing black clothes, which was obviously the black suit she had worn on the day of the funeral. Her hair was tied back, and there was a snow-white flower tied to her ear.
The combination of black and white suited her appearance very well, but in Old Madam Qiaoâs opinion, it was very disrespectful and inauspicious.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In front of the Chang family, Old Madam Qiao did not reprimand her. She only said, âHave a seat. Your Uncle and Aunt Chang are here today. You should have met them before.â
âHello, Uncle and Aunt Chang.â Qiao Weiyang greeted them, but she didnât sit down. She stood straight. âOld Madam Qiao, I wonder why you asked me to come over today?â
Old Madam Qiao held back her anger. âWeiyang, your marriage hasnât been settled yet. Chang Tang doesnât mind your profession and status. He wanted to meet you. You should be mentally prepared.â
âWhatâs there to despise about my profession and status? I have an honest job.
Isnât my profession exactly the same as Qiao Jierouâs?â
When Qiao Weiyang said this, her eyes pierced at Qiao Jierou coldly, making Qiao Jierou tremble. Qiao Jierou felt that Qiao Weiyang was really scary, so she ended up avoiding her gaze.
In Old Madam Qiaoâs heart, Qiao Jierouâs debut was clean and pure. Qiao
Weiyang had no one to support her, so who knew how she got those resources?
She couldnât bring herself to say anything because of Qiao Weiyangâs words. In front of outsiders, she couldnât show too much bias. She only said, âAlright, letâs not talk about that. Go out and have a chat with Chang Tang. Iâll talk to his parents here.â
Mr. and Madam Chang were not satisfied with Qiao Weiyangâs current actions, but their son liked her. From the moment Qiao Weiyang entered, Chang Tangâs gaze had never moved from her. His eyes seemed to be filled with light.
They really had no choice but to just express their disagreement in their hearts.
Madam Chang could only say, âWeiyang, do accompany Chang Tang for a walk.â
Chang Tang immediately stood up and grabbed the edge of his pants nervously. He looked at Qiao Weiyang excitedly and nervously.
His gaze was pious, making everyone feel that it was actually not bad to be liked by such a man.
Lin Heng, who had been sitting beside Qiao Jierou without saying anything, suddenly stood up.
His action was so big that everyoneâs eyes were on him.
What was he doing?
The moment Lin Heng stood up, his blood rushed to his head. Under everyoneâs suspicious gazes, he blurted out some words, âWhy are you introducing Weiyang to a man who doesnât even dare to speak in public?â
âLin Heng!â Old Madam Qiao was angry.
âBrother Heng!â Qiao Jierou also stood up and tugged at his sleeve. She was unbelievably disappointed, and her eyes were filled with aggrieved tears.
Madam Chang was unhappy with his words. âPresident Lin, what are you saying? No matter how bad my son is, itâs not your place to educate him, right?â
âIf he didnât have designs on Weiyang, I wouldnât have bothered to talk about him. On the other hand, with Weiyangâs current career development and personal ability, what makes you think that she has to get married to satisfy your strange thoughts? Why canât you let her go?â
His words were directed at Old Madam Qiao.
Qiao Weiyang looked at the situation at the event location with a calmness that was almost terrifying. It was as if she was an outsider or had already used up all her emotions.
Old Madam Qiao slammed the table. âLin Heng, Qiao Weiyang is my granddaughter. Youâre not allowed to interfere in her matters!â
âSince sheâs your granddaughter, why canât you think of doing something for her own good?!â
âLin Heng!â Old Madam Qiaoâs patience was at its end.
âRather than letting her go on a blind date with someone like Chang Tang, itâs better for me to marry her. At least I had feelings for her back then.â
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar.
Huang Shumin stared at Lin Heng angrily.
Qiao Jierou was almost on the verge of collapse. This was her husband. Now, he said in front of everyone that he wanted to marry Qiao Weiyang!
Old Madam Qiaoâs face was ashen. âNonsense!â
This was not what Lin Heng intended to do when he stood up just now.
However, at this point, he seemed to have clarified his true thoughts and intentions.
He wanted to marry Qiao Weiyang and would not allow any other man to marry her!
Since he was once her fiancé, why not return to his position once more?
âIâm not fooling around! I donât have any feelings for Qiao Jierou anymore. A divorce is inevitable, so why canât I marry Qiao Weiyang?â
Mr. and Madam Chang looked at this farce and felt that it was simply ridiculous!
However, Chang Tang seemed to be rooted here and refused to leave. The
couple could not leave on the spot.
Old Madam Qiao was so angry that she almost fainted.
Huang Shumin went up to support the pale Qiao Jierou.
Every word Lin Heng said was like a heavy slap to Qiao Jierouâs face, shattering her pride and dignity.
Only then did Qiao Weiyang slowly say, âWhat do you take me for? Do you think Iâm an item placed in the window for your exhibition or an auction item in the auction house that you can bid for? Did I say I wanted to marry anyone? Do you think you can get me as long as you want me?â
Chang Tangâs face turned red, and he placed his fingers on the edge of his pants.
Lin Heng was woken up by her words.
Only then did everyone slowly size her up. With her outfit today, it was obvious that she was not here to flirt with anyone!
Qiao Weiyang looked around at everyone present and said calmly, âIâve already said that I have someone I like. Iâll be loyal to him and be with him for the rest of my life. Why do some of you not understand human language? Why do you always think that Iâm standing here because of you? Do I have to marry for you to realize my value in life?â
Lin Heng lowered his head at her words.
Mr. and Madam Changâs impression of her had changed a lot.
Qiao Weiyang looked at Lin Heng coldly. âBesides, you canât afford what I
want.â
âWhat if I can give it to you?â Lin Heng raised his head unwillingly and said in a shocking tone.
It was obvious that he was determined to divorce Qiao Jierou.
Everyone was also shocked by his firm attitude..
