When Xu Jinzhao hung up the phone, the eldest lady was dumbfounded. This brat hung up on me?
Do you dare to say that I am not worthy?
"Xu Jinchao, I think you have forgotten how you came to be the helmsman of the Xu family." The eldest lady gritted her teeth.
Seeing this, Xu Yiwan stood up quickly, "Mother, why are you so angry? What did the third brother say?"
"He actually said that I am not worthy of taking care of his wife. Yiwan, let's go to your grandfather's house. Let's go."
"Then let's see if I am worthy of taking care of Xu Jinchao's affairs." After the eldest lady said this, she quickly asked the servants to get their coats and go out, and Xu Yiwan followed.
Since the date was set in a hurry, after finishing Shen Zhiwu's batch of medicines, Qi Chuchu began to prepare for the wedding.
Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye there were only two days left before the engagement date, and the day after tomorrow was the day of their engagement ceremony.
On this day, she and Xu Jinchao made an appointment to go to the jewelry store together, but it took a long time for Xu Jinchao to pick her up.
Also because of her new identity, Xiao Ju was now at Xu Jinchao's private residence. Qi Chuchu was replaced by a maid named Xiao Ning. She asked Xiao Ning to call Xu Jinchao's private residence.
"Miss, Butler Li said that the Third Young Master left two hours ago and came to our side." Xiao Ning replied.
Then the journey can't be two hours, right? Qi Chuchu nodded, "Does Butler Li have anything else to say?"
"No more, miss."
"All right."
Qi Chuchu waited for a while, but still felt a little uneasy. Could something have happened?
However, this is not modern society now! How can I contact Xu Jinchao when he is on the road?
well! Qi Chuchu sighed heavily and waited anxiously.
It wasn't until evening that Xu Jinchao showed up at Qi Chuchu's current residence.
"Brother Jinchao, why did you arrive at this time? And why are there so many blood stains on your clothes? Are you injured? This..." Qi Chuchu was a little incoherent and kept looking at Xu Jinchao for any wounds.
A smile appeared on Xu Jinchao's tired face. It seemed that Yihuan was still worried about me. She cared about me.
It wasn't until Qi Chuchu checked Xu Jinchao that she breathed a sigh of relief and was scared to death...
"I'm fine, it just delayed our time to choose the ring." Xu Jinchao said, wrapping his hands around Qi Chuchu's waist and pulling her close.
"It's nothing to waste time. I'm really afraid that something will happen to you this afternoon."
"Yi Huan, don't worry about me. I won't let anything happen to me." After Xu Jinchao finished speaking, he held Qi Chuchu in his arms, hugging her very tightly.
As for what happened on the road, Xu Jinchao did not tell Qi Chuchu.
The eldest wife's natal brother sent people to surround Xu Jinchao in the afternoon and threatened him with the Xu family's property. If the threat failed, he would kill him, hoping that Xu Jinchao would die in that alley.
However, Xu Jinchao had already taken control of all the Xu family's property before, and now even if he breaks up with the eldest lady's natal family, it won't have any impact.
Xu Jinchao was not a kind-hearted person, so the uncle of the eldest lady was killed and silenced.
The most fortunate thing for him today is that the eldest lady did not reach out to Qi Chuchu, and Qi Chuchu was safe and sound.
"Chu Chu, let's go choose the ring now, let's go."
"Now? Why don't you change your clothes first?"
"Well, that's fine. Then just listen to my future wife."
...Qi Chuchu smiled faintly and said nothing.
When they arrived at the jewelry store, they were the only two people in the store. The clerk treated them both respectfully and attentively.
"Which one do you like?" Xu Jinchao asked.
Qi Chuchu kept watching and did not respond to Xu Jinchao. When she saw something she liked, she pointed it out to him directly, "How about this?"
"Staff, wrap this up."
okay! The clerk responded happily.
Well, there are always top students, right? Qi Chuchu was a little helpless, didn't say anything, and then picked it up.
"What about this?"
"Wrap it up too."
Later, Qi Chuchu only looked at it a little more, and Xu Jinchao asked the clerk to wrap it up.
What else is there to choose from?
"Brother Jinchao, I'm a little hungry, shall we go to eat?" Qi Chuchu asked tentatively.
"Then let's go."
Xu Jinzhao gave an order and all the rings he picked were sent back to his private residence, and the two of them went to a restaurant.
It's just that the road between enemies is narrow, or maybe the world is too small.
Next to where the two of them were sitting, there was Tang Yu and a charming woman.
Naturally, all three people noticed it, and the woman also saw that the relationship between the three was unusual, so she asked, "Mr. Tang, are the two of you acquaintances of yours? Why don't we fight and eat together."
"We are indeed acquaintances. There will be a happy event for the two of you in the future. We should definitely have a meal together." Tang Shuoyu said, shaking the red wine in the glass and drinking it down in one gulp.
Seeing Tang Yu standing up and walking over, Qi Chuchu tried her best to pretend to be calm in order to suppress her guilt towards him.
"Third Young Master, Boss Qi, what a coincidence. Why don't we have dinner together?" Tang Yu asked with a smile, still looking like a playboy.
Xu Jinchao looked at Qi Chuchu and asked, "Why don't we switch to another company?"
"Third Young Master, why are you so outspoken? Or are you worried that I am plotting against your fiancée? I have a female companion by my side." Tang Yu interrupted, and deliberately pulled the woman he brought today over his shoulders.
Qi Chuchu closed her eyes slightly. She would only feel more guilty when Tang Yu was like this...
"Brother Jinchao, if you don't want to change the place, you will have to change. After all, we are also acquaintances with Mr. Tang, so it's nothing."
"Look, Qi is right about what the boss said."
The four of them sat together, Qi Chuchu was eating the whole time, and Tang Yu didn't say much.
It wasn't until he was leaving that Tang Yu stopped the two of them. Unlike the dandy he had just been, he raised a glass of wine and said, "Third Young Master, Boss Qi. Since today is a coincidence, I, Mr. Tang, would like to congratulate you in advance on your upcoming engagement. I won’t join in on the engagement party the day after tomorrow.”
Xu Jinchao clinked glasses with Tang Yu and drank them all in one gulp.
Qi Chuchu just looked and didn't speak.
The two were about to leave, but Qi Chuchu was stopped again.
"Boss Qi, I wish you all the best." It's a pity that you are not dressed up for me...
Tang Yu held up the wine glass with deep and compassionate eyes. Qi Chuchu finally drank the glass of wine.
"Master Tang, since we've finished eating, why don't we find a hotel to stay in?" the woman beside her said softly with a soft breath.
Tang Yu watched Xu Jinchao and Qi Chuchu walk away, pushed the woman away, and said without any warmth, "Get away..."
"The woman brought by Tang Yu: What are you doing? Why are you venting your anger on me? It's not his own problem if the woman he likes marries someone else!"
