Qiao Qijie rubbed his hands, looking like he wanted to acknowledge his son-in-law but didn’t dare to.
“Weiyang.” Old Madam Qiao’s voice was unprecedentedly kind. This was the first time in her life that she was treating Qiao Weiyang like this. “Mr. Su is already here. Hurry up and invite him in.”
She did not even dare to call Su Zhuoqian’s name.
Only then did Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian walk over hand in hand. “Mr. Su, please take a seat.” Old Madam Qiao beamed with joy. She was kind and gentle as if she had never been mean.
“That’s unnecessary. I’m just accompanying Weiyang here to take a look. I heard that someone wants to marry off my wife?” Su Zhuoqian’s voice was not loud, but everyone automatically shut up and did not dare to make a fuss.
Chang Tang nervously grabbed his pants. Madam Chang smiled apologetically, but she did not dare to say anything.
Lin Heng’s face turned pale. He wanted to squeeze out a smile, but no matter what, he couldn’t.
Qiao Weiyang said, “Maybe they were all joking.”
“That’s for the best. But I hope this is the last time such a joke is made.” Su Zhuoqian’s voice was calm, but no one dared to answer him.
Huang Shumin mustered her courage and said, “It’s just because everyone thought that Weiyang was a widow…”
She didn’t forget to play tricks at a time like this!
Old Madam Qiao hurriedly wanted to change the topic, but Su Zhuoqian looked at Huang Shumin. “What do you mean?”
Huang Shumin panicked under his gaze, but she had already said it. She had no choice but to continue to bite the bullet. “Qiao Weiyang married Young Master He from Ting Yuan Villa. I heard that Young Master He had always been suffering from a chronic illness. H-Hence, for her own good, we…’ “Heh.” Su Zhuoqian made a soft sound.
Huang Shumin’s scalp went numb as if someone was choking her.
Old Madam Qiao quickly tried to salvage the situation. “It’s not that serious. Actually, it’s just..
“I’m the young master who lives in Ting Yuan Villa. Weiyang has always been my wife. Could it be that I’m the one you’re referring to?”
Old Madam Qiao’s and Huang Shumin’s eyes widened in fear. How could it be him?
How could it be possible?
Su Zhuoqian said coldly, “I was also the one who was engaged to Weiyang. Back then, in order to make her leave Lin Heng and make room for another woman, you didn’t care about her life or death at all and insisted on marrying her into Ting Yuan Villa. You didn’t treat her as family at all and didn’t even step into Ting Yuan Villa, so you didn’t know who was in Ting Yuan Villa at all. You didn’t know who her fiancé was. You were just anxious to get rid of her and didn’t consider anything else!”
Everyone had actually vaguely heard about these things. They had always wondered why Qiao Weiyang married into the family.
However, Old Madam Qiao, Huang Shumin, and the others were good at pretending as though everything was peaceful within their family, so no one thought too much about it.
Now that they heard Su Zhuoqian’s words, they knew that this family did not take Qiao Weiyang seriously at all.
Huang Shumin was so frightened that she didn’t dare to say anything else. Qiao Qijie was cowardly to begin with, so he didn’t dare to defend himself.
Old Madam Qiao quickly said, “Mr. Su, it’s not…”
As she spoke, she met Su Zhuoqian’s gaze and shuddered, not daring to say anything else.
Even if others could be deceived by her words, how could Su Zhuoqian?
She could only stand up and say, “It’s my fault as her grandmother. I didn’t care enough about her before, so I apologize to her. But the Qiao family arranged this marriage for her for her own good. Otherwise, how could she have met you? The Qiao family got lucky. I hope you won’t be angry, Mr. Su.” “You’re not worth my anger.” Su Zhuoqian’s tone was indifferent.
Old Madam Qiao’s face turned purple. “Put everything away for Young Madam.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Everyone packed up the eye-catching belongings.
Old Madam Qiao was a little anxious. “Mr. Su, aren’t these Weiyang’s betrothal gifts? The betrothal gifts should be for her family…”
“Well, I heard that betrothal gifts and dowry should be given to women so that they can keep them and have peace of mind?” Su Zhuoqian asked.
The people around them said, “That’s right. We can’t be too biased with daughters. Which family still keeps betrothal gifts and dowry now? Aren’t they all for married women to bring back to their families?”
“That’s right, that’s right. These things should be left to the daughters!”
“I also heard that no matter how many betrothal gifts are given, the woman’s family has to give twice as much to the woman so that she can bring all of it back!”
At this moment, everyone was speaking on Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang’s side.
Just by looking at the couple standing together, who wouldn’t be biased toward them?
In the past, everyone was deceived by Old Madam Qiao’s words and felt that Qiao Weiyang was neither good nor bad. However, when they thought about it carefully, it was always Old Madam Qiao criticizing Qiao Weiyang. In fact, Qiao Weiyang had never done anything bad!
Old Madam Qiao said that Qiao Weiyang was a jinx, but how could a jinx reach the level of an A-list female artist? How could she make the entire Su family dote on her so much?!
It was obvious that some superstitious words could not be listened to!
Old Madam Qiao’s wishful thinking fell through, and her face turned red. She did not dare to say anything else in front of Su Zhuoqian.
With Su Zhuoqian backing Qiao Weiyang, she didn’t even dare to say anything bad about Qiao Weiyang.
“I-I have something to say.” Chang Tang stood up and walked straight to Qiao Weiyang.
Only then did everyone remember that Chang Tang was still here.
It seemed that Chang Tang liked Qiao Weiyang very much. Was he actually going to have a conflict with Su Zhuoqian?
Mr. and Madam Chang were worried. “Chang Tang! Chang Tang is back! ”
If they had previously thought that Qiao Weiyang was not worthy of Chang Tang, they were now afraid that Chang Tang would still be stubborn.
The others also waited to see what he was going to do.
When Huang Shumin and Qiao Jierou, who were unhappy but did not dare to do anything, saw that he actually came out to cause trouble, they could not wait for him to make a fuss so that they could vent some of their emotions. Even if they couldn’t change the final outcome, embarrassing Qiao Weiyang would make them feel better.
Chang Tang walked up to Qiao Weiyang. Seeing that they could not stop him, Mr. and Madam Chang could not help but sigh and hurriedly follow.
He bravely met Qiao Weiyang’s gaze and said, “Qiao Weiyang, I have a few words to tell you.”
“Go ahead.” Qiao Weiyang glanced at Su Zhuoqian, who had no objections.
Chang Tang mustered his courage and said, “I’ve always been a loyal fan of yours. I’ve always been worried that you wouldn’t have a good life. It’s true that I want to marry you, but I also know that you definitely won’t like me. I also have the self-awareness of being a fan. I hope you can live a much better life than I imagined. Mr. Su is someone worthy of your love..”
