Chapter 487: Aren't you afraid of retribution?
Qiao Ai didn't say yes immediately.
In fact, it is mainly because of the recent uproar about these things in the Gu family, if she goes, it will not be good to implicate the Ye family again.
But Ye Feifei didn't care about this, she immediately used all the tricks of playing tricks and pretending to be pitiful, "Sister Ai, you are my master, how can you not come to such an important occasion?" ”
Under her soft grinding and hard bubbles, coupled with the persuasion of Mrs. Ye, Qiao Ai finally agreed.
Zhou Chengyan didn't show much reaction to this, just to be safe, he gave his driver to Qiao Ai, and didn't forget to tell her to be careful, it was like treating her as a daughter.
The banquet venue was in the Ye family's mansion, and the driver sent Qiao Ai to the place, and as soon as she got out of the car, she was hugged by Ye Feifei, who rushed over.
Ye Feifei wore a pink princess dress today, the skirt was gentle and sweet, but she didn't care at all, what should be done usually or what is still the case, and walked in affectionately holding Qiao Ai's arm.
"I'll tell you, you're here today, the chef at home makes dim sum, if it weren't for today's banquet, I usually let him show his hand, he wouldn't ......"
After chattering for a while, Mrs. Ye finally couldn't help but step forward and said, "You kid, the banquet will start for a while, why don't you let Sister Ai go up and rest for a while?" ”
She remembered that Joe was pregnant.
Ye Feifei stuffed a strawberry into her mouth, and said vaguely: "I know, I know, I'll take her to my room to rest now." But Mom, you're really, Sister Ai isn't so fragile, right? ”
As he spoke, there was a sudden commotion at the door.
Ye Feifei looked over, and when she saw someone coming, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said to Qiao Ai: "Sister Ai, you wait for me here for a while, I'll go over and say hello, and I'll be back soon!" ”
The person who came was her distant aunt, and the two could play together the best when they were young, but later this aunt emigrated abroad and had fewer opportunities to meet.
Qiao Ai nodded to himself, "Well, you go, I'll walk around." ”
Although thinking of Ye Feifei's unreliable character, it is estimated that she will not be able to come back for a while, but Qiao Ai did not expect that until the banquet began, no one would be seen.
At this banquet, she only knew Ye Feifei and Mrs. Ye, and now that Mrs. Ye was entertaining guests, of course she couldn't go over to make trouble.
Sensing the gaze of others, Qiao Ai had to find a slightly more secluded corner to stay.
"This is the granddaughter of the Gu family who was mentioned in the news a few days ago, right? looked gentle and gentle, but I didn't expect my heart to be so ruthless. ”
"That's right, then Gu Nan is her brother, and it is said that he is very good to her, isn't he afraid of retribution if he goes down?"
"I heard that Gu Nan is now in a vegetative state, and this life is a waste, hey, it's really pitiful."
Even though Father Ye was giving a speech under the chasing light, his voice was not enough to stop these malicious speculations, and those words uncontrollably burrowed into Qiao Ai's eardrums, making her heart tremble.
She clenched her palms and looked up coldly.
At this time, the chasing light was extinguished, and the entire hall was restored to light, and the person who spoke was frightened by Qiao Ai's gaze.
Perhaps in order to prove herself, the woman quickly calmed down and turned her head to whisper a few words to a few people on the side, and then several people reached a consensus and walked towards Qiao Ai's side.
There are already few people here, so it's not a big deal to gather around. Wonderful book
Qiao Ai could feel that the other party was malicious.
She didn't want to conflict with people, especially at the Ye family's banquet, and she would inevitably cause trouble for them when the time came.
One of the women crossed her arms and smiled at Qiao Ai and mocked, "Yo, isn't this Miss Gu?" I heard that Young Master Gu is still lying in the hospital now, do you have a sense of leisure? ”
Her voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough to attract the attention of the people around her.
Qiao Ai soon found himself in the center of the crowd, but most of those who had disdain in their eyes were still in the mood of watching a good show.
From the beginning to the end, no one wants to stop this farce.
Qiao Ai, who had anticipated this scene, couldn't tell what she felt now, but suddenly felt that in this world, people were sharper than sharp knives many times.
She didn't want to get entangled with these people, and turned to leave.
The woman who found fault but was ignored felt that she had lost face, and stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Ai's hand, "What are you going to do?" If you have a weak heart, if you have a weak heart......"
Before she could finish speaking, a glass of red wine was poured directly on her face.
Ye Feifei, who didn't know where to get out, slapped the cup on the table with a smile and bared out a mouthful of white teeth, "If you can't speak, shut up, if you really want to succeed, you might as well come to me, I, Ye Feifei, will accompany you to the end!" ”
She was already hot-tempered, but now she was provoked and became a thorn, the kind that was unlucky for whoever touched her.
Besides, a slightly smarter person should have heard that this was not just said to one person, and the surrounding onlookers suddenly became embarrassed.
Mrs. Ye also followed the sound at this time.
In this group of juniors, she still belongs to the kind of person who has more right to speak, and the surroundings quieted down for a while.
Mrs. Ye was still as gentle as ever, and glanced lightly at the woman who was splashed with red wine, and then said, "I know that you here have more or less heard some rumors. ”
"But the reason why a rumor is a rumor is a rumor is because it is far from the truth." With that, she walked over to Joe and took her hand affectionately.
"These things shouldn't have been said here, but I never wanted to see a good boy like Joe being attacked by someone who wanted nothing to do. I don't dare to say anything else, the only thing I can guarantee is ......"
"Joe is a kind person like my best friend, her real mother, so she would never do something that hurts the truth and what she says."
As soon as these words came out, many people present were embarrassed.
They did believe the one-sided words and thought that Qiao Ai was not a good person, so even when they found out that she was being embarrassed, what they thought in their hearts was: even if she was bullied, someone was just doing the right thing for heaven.
In reality, however, they have already become accomplices when such thoughts are generated.
Mrs. Toye's blessing, after that little episode, Qiao Ai had a good time at the banquet, and even met a few friends with the same hobbies, which was a big gain.
also because of Mrs. Ye's words, Qiao Ai's reputation among outsiders was finally saved.
Zhou Chengyan was still a little angry when he heard that she was almost bullied at first, but thinking about it, he also felt that this was barely a blessing in disguise to some extent.
But if there was a next time, he wouldn't be able to leave Joe alone.
