"Which hotel are you going to? Your cousin still wants to wait for you to come over and talk. Let's come to your uncle's house first." Mother Qiao refused directly and hung up the phone.
Qiao Man felt heavy in her heart and felt that it would be troublesome if she went there, but she had to go.
"I'm leaving first." Qiao Man looked at Fu Shaoting and said.
"Well, I'll go to the company to deliver a document and I'll find you in a moment." Fu Shaoting personally watched the two of them get into the taxi before setting off to the company to arrange various matters.
Forty minutes later, Qiao Man took Fu Chen to the uncle's community.
She also sent Fu Shaoting her location before knocking on the door.
The person who opened the door was Mother Qiao. When she saw the casual clothes she was wearing, she frowned and said displeased: "You are here to attend your cousin's engagement party, how can you dress like this?"
"What's wrong with me dressing like this? It's not like I'm going to work, so why should I wear formal clothes?" Qiao Man looked directly at Mother Qiao and retorted calmly.
In the past, her repeated tolerance caused Mother Qiao and Liu Yingying to ignore her at all.
But now, she also has a family, and she will definitely not be as weak as before.
Mother Qiao didn't expect Qiao Man to dare to talk back. She was about to get angry, but then she remembered that this was not at home, so she suppressed her anger.
Suddenly, she noticed the delicate and cute Fu Chen standing next to her, and his expression changed slightly: "Why did you bring this child here?"
"Chenchen is my son, can't I bring him to the wedding banquet? If not, I will take him home now." Qiao Man said in a deep voice.
If Mother Qiao hadn't given her a chance to refuse, she wouldn't have come to Qiao Xin's engagement party.
Mother Qiao's face turned livid with anger, and Qiao Xin's voice suddenly came from behind her: "Second aunt, is my cousin here? Why aren't you letting her in?"
Holding back her anger, Mother Qiao glared at Qiao Man and said angrily: "Come in."
Qiao Man took Fu Chen's hand and entered the door. She saw 囍 characters posted everywhere in the house and colorful balloons hanging.
Her cousin Qiao Xin was wearing a red cheongsam embroidered with golden peonies. She had exquisite makeup on her face and her hair was specially styled.
"Long time no see." Qiao Man greeted her calmly.
"Cousin? Long time no see." Qiao Xin said with a meaningful smile. She immediately noticed Fu Chen and asked strangely: "Is this? Your cheap son?"
She had already learned from Liu Yingying that Qiao Man had a cheap son who was really good-looking...
"My name is Fu Chen, hello." Fu Chen greeted politely.
He would not embarrass Aunt Qiao.
Qiao Xin was a little surprised and said to Qiao Man, "I didn't expect your cheap son to be quite polite."
A cold look flashed in Qiao Man's eyes: "Chenchen is my son, not a cheap son. Please respect me."
"I heard that you found a poor man and brought a bottle of oil. I didn't expect it to be true. I'm just telling the truth. What are you unhappy about?" Qiao Xin said sarcastically, her eyes full of schadenfreude.
She had disliked Qiao Man before. Even though her family favored boys over girls, she was able to get into college.
Later, she found a good job with a higher salary than her, which made Qiao Xin very unhappy.
But now it seems that Qiao Man's marriage partner is not as good as her.
"My father is not a poor man. Auntie, you haven't graduated from elementary school, right? You don't know how to speak, and you don't respect people at all." Fu Chen retorted without politeness, with disgust flashing in his eyes.
As expected, everyone in the Qiao family, except Aunt Qiao, hates her very much.
This woman thinks that because he is young, she cannot understand what he means?
Revealing his father's identity would scare them to death!
"Hi? I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued. It's the truth. Is your father so poor?" Qiao Xin mocked disdainfully, not caring that Fu Chen was a child.
Qiao Man protected Fu Chen and stared at Qiao Xin with a gloomy face: "Today is your engagement, don't force me to deny you face."
"Qiao Man! Why are you talking to your cousin? Apologize to her!" Mother Qiao scolded Qiao Man sharply.
"Mom, are you protecting Qiao Xin? Why did she say you didn't hear Chenchen and Shao Ting?" Qiao Man looked at Qiao's mother with a chilling look, her eyes full of disappointment.
Even though she knew that Qiao's mother was very dissatisfied with Fu Shaoting, Qiao Man never expected it.
When she and Qiao Xin quarreled, she would still protect Qiao Xin.
It seems that it has been like this since she was a child. No matter who she has a conflict with, Mother Qiao will never think about her. She will be the first person to be blamed.
Qiao Xin raised her lips proudly and said to her mother Qiao over tea: "Second aunt, don't blame my cousin. Sooner or later, she and that poor husband will never get along. I'm getting engaged today, so let's not irritate her."
"My dad and Aunt Qiao are in a good relationship, don't be alarmist!" Fu Chen's face turned black with anger, and he retorted in a milky voice, his black grape-like eyes burning with anger.
He likes Aunt Qiao and doesn't want her to divorce her father at all!
"Hey, you can also speak idioms?" Qiao Xin sneered, not taking Fu Chen seriously at all.
Fu Chen was about to say something else, but then there was a knock on the door, and Qiao Xin went to open the door.
Mother Qiao lowered her voice and said to Qiao Man: "Today is your cousin's engagement party, please save her some face and don't be so ignorant."
Qiao Man looked at her with a cold face: "Did she step on me under her feet? Do you think she was right?"
"Qiao Xin can't do that, don't talk nonsense." Mother Qiao glared at her.
Qiao Man was so angry that she had nothing to say. She turned around and took Fu Chen to the back room to say hello to the others. A lot of people came to Qiao Xin's house today.
After saying hello, Qiao Man took Fu Chen to sit on the sofa, talked to him in a low voice, and ignored the others.
But Qiao Xin couldn't let her go so easily.
She smiled and Yan Yan brought her engaged husband He Tao to Qiao Man and introduced: "A Tao, this is my cousin Qiao Man."
He Tao's eyes fell on Qiao Man, showing surprise.
"Hello, cousin." He Tao said with a smile.
"Hello." Qiao Man nodded slightly.
"A Tao, didn't you say you wanted to give me an engagement gift before? Now show it to my cousin."
Qiao Xin's words were full of show off, and she glanced at Qiao Man mockingly: "My cousin married a poor husband and didn't even hold a wedding for her. I have to make her envious."
Qiao Xin made no secret of her contempt for Fu Shaoting.
A trace of surprise flashed in He Tao's eyes: "My cousin is already married?"
"Yes, there is a cheap son." Qiao Xin was not worried about others knowing these things. Instead, she was worried that Qiao Man was not embarrassed enough.
Qiao Man couldn't see her purpose and glanced at her indifferently without saying a word.
He Tao immediately took out an exquisite gift box from his pocket and slowly opened it to reveal a white diamond ring.
The moment she saw the diamond ring, Qiao Xin's eyes widened: "Is this... the True Love series I want most?"
"Yeah, we can't wrong you when we get engaged." He Tao said with a smile.
Qiao Xin suddenly kissed him on the cheek and showed off to Qiao Man with a smile: "Cousin, have you seen how good my husband is to me? Your husband can't give you anything, so why not divorce as soon as possible."
"Who says I can't give her anything?" A deep magnetic voice sounded from behind everyone.
