After passing Ye Mi's test, Qiao Yan's good days did not come, as he was stuck with the girl's parents.
Qiao Yan said all the good things, but He Peining refused to give in. He was a well-known figure in City C, and the He family was a well-known and large family. He finally recognized his daughter, and then a series of things started.
She divorced her husband, became an unmarried mother, lied to her family that she was going to study in the United States, and spent all day fooling around with her ex-husband in the United States, and then had another son. He had to lose face and go to the family planning department and the public security bureau to find connections to register Qiao Zhibo, the kid.
This was really embarrassing. At home, the couple had been looked down upon by their father. He Jianming had always been a strict parent. After such a thing happened, he naturally could not let it go after becoming the laughing stock of the circle. But Ye Zi was a cute and lovely child. Whenever he was angry with her, she would pitifully leave him speechless.
How can I love her? I can only use my parents as a scapegoat.
Qiao Yan stood in the middle of the living room, with He's father and mother sitting opposite him. His palms were sweating, and this vicious look was about to make his little heart collapse.
"Dad, Mom..."
"Who are your parents?!" He Peining's tone was very impolite. As his parents, they had seen all the grievances Ye Zi had suffered over the years, so how could they let him get away with it
Qiao Yan looked at Ye Zi who was sitting next to him and cast a pitiful look at her for help. Ye Zi turned her head and said, "Mom, Dad, I'm a little sleepy. I'll go upstairs to rest for a while." She got up and ran upstairs quickly. She had to leave that dangerous place quickly, otherwise the fire would burn her.
It would be so unfair to her parents to play a role in opposition to them. Besides, it would make her look unreserved, as if she couldn't do without a man. But if she helped her parents, Qiao Yan would definitely not let her go. That vindictive man would definitely make her suffer. Her face turned slightly red, a little embarrassed. Alas, the child is already a bystander, why should she still be reserved
Once she left, the result became clear. He Qingwen was enjoying the show and definitely wouldn't help speak. His grandfather was old and couldn't hear anything when he read the newspaper.
Qiao Yan's last trump card was his two children. He looked at his son pitifully, then turned to the two elders and said, "Even if you don't like me, you have to think about the children. They need a complete family to grow up healthily."
"Humph, our Ye Zi grew up well without a complete family, but you have a complete family, but you are not that good." He Peining said angrily, turning to look at Jiang Mingming. She also nodded in agreement, "I think these two children are doing well now, they are mentally healthy, and have no growth problems. Qiao Yan, you can rest assured about this."
Qiao Yan was speechless. He turned to look at the two children who were competing in playing the Rubik's Cube. "Zhiyuan, Zhibo, tell Dad, do you want Mom and Dad to be together?"
The two little guys stopped spinning the Rubik's Cube in their hands, looked at each other, and jumped off the sofa in unison, "Grandma, Grandpa, we need to go to the toilet."
"You..." Qiao Yan was so angry that he couldn't speak. How could he give birth to such a son
He Jianming poked his head out from the newspaper and cast an admiring glance at the two little guys over his glasses.
Qiao Zhiyuan pulled Qiao Zhibo into the bathroom, and the two of them started to get tangled after they closed the door.
"Will Dad stop liking us?" Qiao Zhiyuan was a little worried.
Qiao Zhibo struggled with his head, "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't my great-grandfather say that the two of us are important positions for both sides to fight over? The more unclear our positions are, the more people will fight for us. Grandma and Grandpa will love us more, Grandpa and Grandma will love us more, Mom will love us more, and Dad will love us more."
"But when Dad looked at us, it was obvious that he wanted to beat us up."
"I think so too." Qiao Zhibo put his fist on his forehead, "Brother, which side do you think the great master is from?"
Qiao Zhiyuan sat on the toilet lid and propped his chin on his fist. "I think he is in cahoots with my grandparents."
"Then we must have helped grandma and grandpa." Qiao Zhibo sighed, "Dad will hate us."
"Then who should we help?" Qiao Zhiyuan also sighed in frustration.
"Do you think Dad and Mom are in cahoots?"
"That should be it?"
"It's a headache! Oh!"
"It's a headache! Oh!"
The two little guys spoke in unison, looked at each other and sighed together.
When Qiao Yan returned to the Qiao family, he saw his parents standing in front of him and looking at him. Qiao Yan shook his head, and before he could even sigh, Qiao Zhenting slapped him on the head, "You useless guy, you can't even marry a woman who has given you two children, what else can you do?"
Qiao Yan was also a little annoyed, "I was talking about that. Ye Zi's parents are just worried about her marrying into our family. Ye Zi suffered so much injustice in the past. Which parents would be willing to push their daughter into the fire pit a second time?" After saying that, he turned to look at his mother, "Mom, you splashed water on Ye Zi, her mother will remember you."
Qiao Zhenting shook his head, "Qiao Yan, talk to Ye Zi about finding a time to invite the He family's parents to dinner." He paused and said, "Forget it, I'll talk to He Peining myself."
"How about I go find Ye Zi and apologize. When you were not around, she often came to help your sister-in-law." Mother Qiao felt bad in her heart, but she was too old to bring herself to do it.
Qiao Yan lowered his head and said, "Mom and Dad, let me make the appointment."
"Let Dad do it. We need to show some sincerity at this time. It's our fault for what we did in the past."
In Qiao Yan's heart, he actually hoped for this. He had long seen clearly that the He family just wanted a promise and hoped that his parents would treat Ye Zi well in the future. However, as a son, he had no way to ask his parents to come forward to propose marriage. He was also an unfilial child. He also had an unshirkable responsibility when Qiao Jiang fell.
Sometimes being a man requires a lot to bear, and you can't succeed without being mentally strong.
Qiao Yan nodded and said, "Let's try to arrange it for next month. Things at the airport have reached the final stage, and I may not be in the city for the next half month."
"Why not set it after you come back successfully? Then Dad will have something to say." Qiao Zhenting smiled and patted Qiao Yan's shoulder. "Take care of yourself and don't get too tired."
The day before Qiao Yan went to Beijing, he made an appointment with Ye Zi and his two sons for dinner. The restaurant was also a good choice. Qiao Zhiyuan and Qiao Zhibo were very happy because they could see Juanjuan again. The little gentleman was very polite, which made them want to laugh when they saw him. But they were disappointed that day because Juanjuan went to France. Qiao Yan looked at the two people's disappointed faces and did not comfort them. He ordered food by himself, but he did not order anything that the two little guys liked.
"Dad, why didn't you order food for me and my brother?"
"Don't call me dad. I don't have good sons like you. You all ran away at the critical moment." After saying that, he threw the menu in front of the two little guys.
Qiao Zhibo smiled, snatched it, and smiled at the waiter, "Handsome brother, let's order two more 'Sweeter than First Love.'" His childish voice really attracted the attention of many diners. For a while, many customers ordered "Sweeter than First Love."
Qiao Yanxiao, both sons have their own strengths, Zhiyuan has an incredibly high IQ, and Zhibo has an incredibly high EQ. If these two children can really work together in their careers in the future, their potential will definitely be limitless.
During the meal, Qiao Yan looked at Ye Zi and said, "My father wants to invite your family to have a meal together."
Ye Zi paused for a moment with her chopsticks in her hand. "Then you are about to succeed!" She smiled with her lips pursed. She knew very well that if Qiao Yan's parents did not come forward, Qiao Yan would not be able to get over this hurdle. In any case, she is now a lady from a famous family. In addition to her previous experience, her parents and elders would not just hand her over to a man who loves her and rest assured. She is going to enter another family.
Qiao Yan was also stunned for a moment, "You should have given me a hint." He picked up Ye Zi's favorite dish and put it into her bowl.
"What's the point of what I said. I don't mean to embarrass Qiao or your parents, it's just..." Ye Zi didn't know what to say.
Qiao Yan knocked on her bowl and said, "Eat quickly and talk less while eating." He knew in his heart that she had suffered injustices in the past, but he knew that she would never be wronged or hurt again. She was the priceless treasure he had in his life.
A month later, most of the Guan family's real estate under development were taken over by Qiao Jiang, most of the idle land to be developed was also transferred to Qiao Jiang, and the Guan family's airport shares had all changed hands. Qiao Yan was not a person who liked to kill all the people, and he did not touch a single cent of the Guan family's jewelry industry.
In Guan Enping's office at the airport, the woman stared straight at Qiao Yan. Her eyes were sharp but lacked dominance, and she was already lacking in confidence.
"Aren't you afraid that I will make a comeback and take revenge on you?"
Qiao Yan smiled, "You should know that this time it was your own greed that caused you to bid for so much land without enough funds. I came to save you, otherwise you should know that your government would have failed even more miserably."
"Qiao Yan, don't be so hypocritical. You helped us by taking over our real estate, but you benefited more. Besides, there was no need for you to maliciously acquire our shares in the airport."
Qiao Yan didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, turned around and touched Guan Enping's nameplate on the desk, "Let's talk business, I'm interested in this business!" He picked up the crystal stand and threw it into her storage box, "Guan Enping, you taught me this."
In the evening, Qiao Zhenting hosted a banquet for the entire He family, including He Qingwen and the old man, in the presidential suite of Qiaojiang Hotel. He's parents personally apologized to Ye Zi and her family, hoping to be forgiven. Qiao Yan and Ye Zi were a little restless, but it was not the time for them to interrupt. Seeing that He Peining and He Jianming were silent, the atmosphere suddenly became cold. Ye Zi was a little anxious, but was held down by Qiao Yan. He stood up, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I know it's a bit ungrateful for me to call you that now, but in my heart, you are my parents and grandpa. Ye Zi suffered a lot of grievances with me in the past, but those are all in the past. I can promise you that I will let Ye Zi live the best life in the future and let her have the happiest life." He pulled out the chair, stepped out, faced He Jingwen, and suddenly knelt on one leg on the ground, "Ye Zi, marry me, please believe that in this world only I can give you the most complete happiness."
Ye Mi covered her mouth with one hand, afraid that she would lose her voice for a while. She looked at Qiao Yan quietly. His determined eyes made her determined. She nodded vigorously, then stood up and said to her family, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, I can't listen to you anymore. Just treat me as an unfilial son, or as if I don't exist at all. I want to live with him. I can't live without him."
He Qingwen's face immediately showed frustration, "You silly sister, I really defeated you, your parents are helping you, but you are so bad..." I really don't know how to say it to her, isn't this just boosting others' ambitions and destroying your own prestige, she is so silly and stupid.
Everyone at the table paused and burst into laughter. He Peining walked to Qiao Yan's side and said, "You are also a silly child. How could we not accept you? You have stolen our Ye Zi's heart. And when you were in the United States, the largest venture capital you received was from your grandfather's own fund. He took a huge risk because he didn't want to see the two of you suffer outside."
Qiao Yan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment, but He Jianming waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say anything. You have helped me make a lot of money. I am optimistic about your ability and I am doing you a favor."
Although that's what he said, no one would use a billion dollars to do a favor. Qiao Yan stepped forward and hugged Ye Zi tightly, "Thank you!"
Ye Zi was so excited that tears were streaming down her cheeks. She choked up and said, "I really don't know about this."
"You just need to know that I love you, Ye Zi, really, thank you." Thank you for giving me happiness, thank you for giving me a smart and handsome son, thank you for giving me love, and thank you for giving me a different life.
