Everyone followed Murong Qiao's words and looked at Qiao Mingye, only to find that Qiao Mingye was staring at Xia Wan'er with a frown on his face, and there seemed to be some annoyance on his face.
Nanyu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Nanfeng.
At this moment, they all hoped that Qiao Mingye would not take any action on this matter, but they also hoped that he would take some action, and their feelings were very complicated.
Seeing this, Murong Qiao seemed to have a clue in his mind and urged, "Boss Qiao!"
Qiao Mingye was like Murong Qiao's puppet, moving whenever he was pulled.
Seeing Murong Qiao urging him, Qiao Mingye took a step forward and walked towards Xia Wan'er.
Xia Wan'er immediately pointed the tip of the knife at him: "Don't come over here."
But Qiao Mingye turned a blind eye and showed no intention of stopping.
Although Xia Wan'er was very disappointed with Qiao Mingye's behavior today, she couldn't protect herself by stabbing him.
In this way, she could only keep retreating.
Ran Qin wanted to stop him, but was grabbed by Nanfeng and dragged to a corner.
Xia Wan'er was forced into a corner. The hand holding the fruit knife couldn't stop shaking, like a little wild cat caught in a net. She bluffed and said fiercely, "Don't come over!"
"Be good, don't hurt yourself." Qiao Mingye took away her self-defense item with almost no effort.
Seeing this, Murong Qiao stood up with excitement in his eyes, tugged at his collar, and prepared to pull Xia Wan'er, saying: "Boss Qiao, since you are so sensible, I..."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Mingye pulled Xia Wan'er, whose eyes were full of mist, into his arms. He put his hand on the back of her head, let her face rest against his chest, and looked puzzled.
No one present expected him to do such a thing. It seemed that he wanted to protect Xia Wan'er, and he did it in such a domineering posture.
Murong Qiao realized that he had been fooled, and his eyes were filled with rage, with a ferocious look on his face: "Qiao Mingye, what do you mean!"
His men also began to make gestures to attack, and the situation on both sides became serious again.
Qiao Mingye said calmly, "It's nothing. I just wondered if the money that the Shangguan family spent on education over the years was embezzled by someone else. Otherwise, how could they have raised a fool like you?"
Murong Qiao was like an angry beast, his eyes were bloodshot: "How dare you play with me!"
"I'm just teasing you. What? Do you want to bite me?" Nanfeng clenched his fist and blocked in front of Qiao Mingye, saying with great pride and arrogance.
Murong Qiao was really furious. This was one of the reasons why he was extremely disgusted with dealing with Qiao Mingye. This man was cold and hard, and always looked superior, just like Murong Jie back then, who played him around like a fool.
But his face was distorted by the scene in front of him, and he was so angry that he was unconscious. He gritted his teeth and uttered, "You are just a bastard born to an actor. How dare you do this..."
"So what?"
The door of the ward was kicked open, and a figure leaning on a crutch appeared at the door.
Hearing this, the fury in Murong Qiao's eyes gradually faded, replaced by panic. He turned around in disbelief, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground: "Grandpa, Grandpa, why are you here?"
The people beside him quickly supported Murong Qiao and helped him to Shangguan Yun's side.
Shangguan Yun glanced at him, snorted coldly, and didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he walked up to Qiao Mingye with his crutches.
"Hello, Grandpa." Qiao Mingye turned Xia Wan'er around and led her to bow to him politely.
"After two years, you have become much calmer." Shangguan Yun nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Xia Wan'er with a half-smile: "This girl doesn't look like an ordinary person."
This old man doesn't look like someone who is easy to get along with. No one dares to breathe loudly just standing in this room. What's more, even Murong Qiao is so afraid of him, he must not be an ordinary person. Xia Wan'er doesn't want to provoke him.
Just as she was hesitating about how to respond, Qiao Mingye introduced her frankly, "Yes, otherwise how could I become your goddaughter-in-law?"
