Chapter 41: Relationships are made public
7:50 p.m., Hilton Hotel.
The banquet has not officially started yet, but the people who have received the invitations have already arrived one after another.
The men in suits and leather shoes held wine glasses, trying to attract contacts and add fuel to their business.
Women, on the other hand, gather together, compare each other's clothes and jewelry, and gossip about the latest gossip by the way.
Qiao Lu is also among the invitations today, and the Xiang family has faintly surpassed several old families, second only to the Zhou family, so as soon as she appeared, many women surrounded her, complimenting her from her clothes and jewelry to her complexion, and she was almost praised as a Nine Heavens Xuannu.
Among them, there are several women, because the status of the Qiao family is not as good as theirs, and they used to secretly ridicule Qiao Lu, but now listening to the envy in these people's tones and the slightest jealousy that can't be concealed, Qiao Lu only feels that the depression in her heart has dissipated in the past few days, and the whole person is indescribably refreshed.
Just when the time was gradually approaching eight o'clock, and the atmosphere of the banquet was about to enter the climax, someone suddenly heard an exclamation-
"Zhou Shao is here!"
"Which week is less, is it a little week?"
"That's right, that's right! Oh my God, I didn't expect to see Xiao Zhou Shao! How about you help me look at my hair and clothes? Is it messed up? ”
There was an immediate commotion in the crowd.
Zhou Chengyan has outstanding appearance, valuable status, and has not been close to women for so many years, so he can be said to be the dream lover in the eyes of countless women, and has even been at the top of the list of the most wanted men to marry in City A for many years.
"Wait! How can Zhou Shao follow a woman by his side! ”
After seeing the women around Zhou Chengyan clearly, many women seemed to be choked by the neck, and they couldn't say a word.
The woman beside Zhou Chengyan was extremely beautiful.
A simple blue tunic dress is worn on her body, without any extra accessories, but she is like a hollow valley orchid, blooming leisurely, and quietly speaking, it has already amazed the four seats.
Compared with her, the other women at the banquet, even if their appearance was a little lucky, they had fallen behind in temperament.
What kind of family can cultivate a girl with such a temperament?
This was on the minds of almost everyone in the audience.
Suddenly, someone's eyes widened in disbelief: "I think she looks like Joey!" ”
"How is that possible! How could an illegitimate daughter have such a temperament. Someone retorted at the moment: "Besides, how could Zhou Shao fall in love with an illegitimate daughter?" ”
The man insisted on his thoughts, turned his head and asked Qiao Lu, "Qiao Lu, is that your sister Qiao Ai?" ”
Qiao Lu's carefully made nails before attending the banquet today had been broken in her hands, but she didn't feel the pain at all, and there was only one sentence in her mind-
How come?!
For so many years, she and her mother have been smearing Qiao Ai's image outside, and they won't take her to any banquets, which leads to the subconscious disgust of people who have never seen her when they hear her name, and they don't have a good impression of her when they have seen her.
Unexpectedly, after she dressed up, she would not be able to compare her directly.
The man was still reluctantly asking Qiao Lu if that person was Qiao Ai, how could Qiao Lu be willing to admit it!
She blushed free from the man's hand, left a "I'll go to the bathroom" and walked away.
The others looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion.
Looking at Qiao Lu's performance, could this woman really be Qiao Ai?
Qiao Ai didn't know what was happening on Qiao Lu's side at all, she followed Zhou Chengyan generously and walked into the banquet.
Li Sinian saw the two of them and immediately stepped forward, and in front of everyone, he first pointed at Zhou Chengyan: "I don't need to introduce this person more, everyone knows his identity, and today I will mainly focus on introducing the other one." ”
He pointed at Qiao Ai: "My sister, the eldest lady of the Qiao family, Qiao Ai." ”
A word fell, stirring up a thousand waves.
There was a murmur in the crowd.
Li Sinian continued: "At the same time, since yesterday, she has served as the chairman of Qiao's, and I hope you can take care of it in the future." ”
Qiao Ai nodded politely and smiled: "I hope you can give more guidance in the future." ”
The crowd was full of disbelief, no one expected that the illegitimate daughter of the Qiao family, who had always been despised, would not only have a close relationship with Zhou Chengyan, but even held great power.
No matter how you think about it, it feels unreal.
"He just missed a point." Zhou Chengyan spoke slowly, and the moment he spoke, the audience was subconsciously silent, so that his voice clearly entered the ears of everyone in the audience, "Qiao Ai is also my wife, the young lady of the Zhou family." ”
The crowd exploded directly.
There is only one sentence in everyone's head - how can it be!!
Although the news announced by Li Sinian does not feel real, it is still somewhat acceptable.
But the news announced by Zhou Chengyan made the women in the audience unacceptable!
How could Zhou Chengyan suddenly marry an illegitimate daughter?! Joe doesn't deserve him at all!
What's more, there has never been a rumor of Zhou Chengyan's love relationship, who can tell them, what is going on?!
Li Sinian whistled and coaxed: "Now, the groom can kiss the bride." ”
"We're not having a wedding, but-" Zhou Chengyan looked at Qiao Ai and smiled, "This doesn't affect me kissing you." ”
He leaned over and kissed Joey on the lips.
Before Qiao Ai could recover from the news that he had announced their marriage in front of everyone, he was gently but irresistibly pried open by Zhou Chengyan.
His tenderness lasted only a brief moment, and soon he became hungry again, and he couldn't wait to haunt her.
Qiao Ai listened to the exclamations below, she closed her eyes, raised her hand to hug Zhou Chengyan's waist, and gave an enthusiastic response.
Li Sinian whistled again.
Some of the people below reacted quickly and were the first to applaud, and the others followed suit, and in an instant, the audience applauded.
After a long kiss, with scruples still in front of others, Zhou Chengyan let go of Qiao Ai without knowing how to be satisfied.
Qiao Ai was breathing unsteadily, and asked him in a low voice, "Why didn't you talk to me in advance?" I wasn't prepared at all. ”
She seemed to be questioning, but because of the kiss just now, her voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded more like a coquette.
"It occurred to me." Zhou Chengyan twisted her earlobe and pecked her lips again.
The show of affection between the two of them caused a scream.
None of them noticed that the person in the center of the audience was extremely ugly, and he almost wanted to separate the two directly with his eyes!
