Chapter 21: Stingy to the extreme
Mrs. Zhou couldn't refuse, "Since you can be my Zhou family's daughter-in-law, you can accept this gift." If you don't accept it, you look down on grandma. ”
Zhou Chengyan also spoke: "Yes, Ai Ai, grandma gave it to you, you ......"
Joe glared at him.
Has this person forgotten that the marriage between them is an exchange of interests in itself, without any feelings.
Under such a premise, how could she accept this sky-high meeting gift from Mrs. Zhou.
Zhou Chengyan reluctantly changed his words under her eyes: "Grandma, Ai Ai has always disliked these mundane things, I remember that there are many famous calligraphy and paintings in your private collection, otherwise ......"
"I see." When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she didn't say a word, and directly ordered: "Go and wrap up the authentic handiwork of Zheng Banqiao in my warehouse, and let Qiao Ai take it back later." ”
Joe was shocked.
If she remembers correctly, that authentic handiwork, half a month ago, also sold for tens of millions of sky-high prices.
Qiao Ai didn't expect that before this hot potato could be pushed away, the old lady dug another pit for her, and hurriedly stopped: "Grandma, don't ......"
Mrs. Zhou said lovingly: "Then which painter do you like?" Don't worry, as long as you want, grandma will be able to get it for you! After all, our Zhou family has a big business, and this little thing can be given. ”
Qiao Lu's face suddenly became even more difficult to look at.
She couldn't see where that Mrs. Zhou was clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai, and she was talking about her.
The bracelet in her hand, which she used to think was very precious, suddenly became eager to let her throw it aside and never see her again.
"Then I'll thank Grandma." Qiao Ai herself was not stupid, she quickly reacted, she put away the sky-high meeting gift, and decided to return it to Zhou Chengyan later.
Now it is Mrs. Zhou who is saving her face, if she continues to refuse, she is rejecting Mrs. Zhou's kindness.
"That's right, grandma gives it to you, you just keep it." Zhou Chengyan pulled Qiao Ai to sit down again, "Speaking of which, Xiang Zizhen, your family's meeting gift won't be just the bracelet on her hand, although the Xiang family is an upstart who has just risen in the past two years, it can't be shabby to this extent, right?" ”
Qiao Lu bit her lower lip tightly.
Qiao Ai replied with a smile: "How can the Xiang family be so stingy, when Qiao Lu got married, she gave the Qiao family a bride price of 20 million." ”
"Twenty million?" Zhou Chengyan raised his voice and said with even more disgust: "Isn't this the pocket money I gave you some time ago?" Xiang Zizhen, didn't I say, your family is too stingy, you only gave the bride such a thing when you got married, do you plan to keep the money and give it to the junior outside in the future? ”
Qiao Lu got up suddenly, her movements were too hurried, and the bowl in front of her swayed, facing everyone's eyes, she barely squeezed out a smile, but unfortunately it was not very successful, so she looked extremely ugly: "I...... I was suddenly not feeling well...... Husband, let's go home first. ”
Xiang Zizhen's face was also extremely ugly, he glanced at Qiao Ai with complicated eyes, Zhou Chengyan keenly caught a trace of regret from his eyes, and hugged Qiao Ai even more possessively at the moment.
Qiao Ai was almost out of breath by him, and pushed him away a little angrily: "You light." ”
"It's all my husband's fault, I hurt you." Zhou Chengyan immediately loosened most of his qi when he heard this, but his body was closer to Qiao Ai, his lips were only a fraction away from kissing Qiao Ai's cheek, and the heat naturally brushed on Qiao Ai's cheek when he spoke: "Come, husband blow it for you." ”
The heat on Joey's face almost burned her, and she leaned back a little to avoid it, "Don't make a fuss." ”
After this sentence was spoken, even she was startled by the coquettish meaning in it, and her face turned even redder at the moment.
"How can this be called a fuss?" Zhou Chengyan looked at her beautiful face, and was even more itchy, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xiang Zizhen's even more ugly face: "It's obvious that my husband loves you, come, kiss one." ”
As he spoke, he put a dragonfly on Qiao Ai's lips and touched it.
Qiao Ai covered her mouth, subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Zhou first, and found that her old man was turning her head, and said to the housekeeper seriously: "This soup is good today." ”
Thankfully she didn't see it.
Qiao Ai turned his head and gritted his teeth in a low voice to warn, "In front of the elders, don't mess around. ”
Zhou Chengyan hit the snake with the stick, and raised his eyebrows with extraordinary comprehension ability: "Okay, then we are making trouble in private." ”
Why is this man so thick-skinned!
Joe bumped him with her elbow in anger.
Xiang Zizhen, who took all the flirting and scolding of the two of them into his eyes, only felt that the jealousy he had never felt before was surging up from the bottom of his heart, almost pressing him to the point that he couldn't breathe.
Joe has always been dignified and generous, and has never been so close to him in front of people.
It's only been a few days, and she actually has a banquet with Zhou Cheng......
Qiao Ai quickly noticed Xiang Zizhen's gaze, she frowned slightly, and quickly understood the reason for the complicated look in his eyes.
She raised her glass, her eyebrows were soothing, she was generous, and her demeanor was the demeanor and etiquette that can only be raised by a good family, "I suddenly remembered that when the two of you got married some time ago, I was entangled in something and couldn't go to your wedding. ”
In the last four words, she put a lot of emphasis on pronunciation.
At the beginning, he disliked her as an illegitimate daughter, and proposed to break up despite their love for several years.
And tomorrow, everyone will know that the young lady who has just started the Xiang family is the real illegitimate daughter of the Qiao family.
He took great pains to go around and around, and now, this person is really lost home.
"Joey!" Xiang Zizhen's face was instantly difficult to see.
"What are you doing with your voice all of a sudden? Is my Ai Ai blessing wrong? Isn't it true that you and Qiao Lu got married? Zhou Chengyan played with a round of wine glasses, and said impatiently: "No, you have already found a junior outside...... now."
"Don't talk nonsense." Qiao Ai interrupted him and explained seriously: "My brother-in-law's sincerity towards Qiao Lu has always been in the eyes of me, a bystander, and with his usual arrogance, he can't look down on everyone who is not a well-educated lady, how can such a girl be willing to be a junior who can't be on the stage." ”
"I see." Zhou Chengyan immediately got up, patted Zizhen on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "I originally thought that my brother-in-law was not taboo in meat and vegetarian, and even the women stationed in Taiwan outside could see it, but now it seems that I am too careful, my brother-in-law apologizes to you, brother-in-law, you must not be surprised." ”
He scolded Qiao Chongjiang together, and Qiao Chongjiang and his wife, who were already looking bad, couldn't sit down, but what Zhou Chengyan said was a fact and could not be refuted.
