The talks broke down.

Jiang Chi suppressed his anger and left Qiao Yijue's hospital room.

Qiao Yijue is such a stubborn old man, he doesn't know how to be flexible at all!

The Jiang family didn't bully Qiao Chu at all; they treat her like a treasure!

They're already in-laws, how dare they have other ideas!

Joe hasn't even settled down yet, and trouble is already brewing at home. This won't do!

Shouldn't we be understanding towards those two young people?

Why are Qiao Chu and A Zhi having a bad time?

They've already kissed, what's wrong with that?

...

Li Wanyue hadn't gone far at all.

She simply bought a drink from the vending machine.

She had already returned to the ward.

Sensing the tense atmosphere inside, she stood at the door.

When Jiang Chi and Du Bin came out, they looked at each other but didn't say anything.

They must all be furious.

The old man doted on Qiao Chu so much, it's understandable that he would be angry knowing she married a disabled man.

Putting everything else aside, Qiao Chu being paired with Jiang Zhi is indeed a mismatch for Qiao Chu.

If the Qiao Group hadn't been severely impacted by the Rong Group, this marriage would probably never have happened.

...

Li Wanyue came in and advised, "Dad, calm down, don't get sick from anger."

Qiao Yijue's face was cold and stern. "How can I not be angry? I woke up to a complete mess!"

"I think we should ask Qiao Chu for her opinion. I heard they're really good together and very loving! They even kissed in public."

For a moment, Qiao Yijue looked at his wife with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Is that so?"

Li Wanyue nodded.

"I think Mr. Jiang is really good to Qiao Chu. He has made it clear to both the legitimate and underworld circles that anyone who dares to bully Qiao Chu is going against him. He really protects Qiao Chu."

"..." Qiao Yijue remained silent.

But he was still angry.

I still don't want to believe it.

He still felt sorry for his precious granddaughter.

A girl as good as Qiao Chu deserves a better and more outstanding man!

He never cares about money; he only cares about character.

...

Looking cautiously at her father-in-law, Li Wanyue continued.

"Once, Qiao Chu won a bid for a stone. Everyone in Haicheng was pessimistic about her and even mocked and ridiculed her, but Old Master Jiang was very pleased and even threw a celebration banquet for Qiao Chu and Jiang Zhi. This trust is really rare and gave Qiao Chu enough face and confidence."

Qiao Yijue maintained a straight face and said inscrutablely, "Qiao Chu's talent is beyond the reach of the entire Jiang family's wealth. It's really the Jiang family who are climbing the social ladder, and I don't like the Jiang family either."

"What if Qiao Chu has fallen for someone surnamed Jiang? Dad, matters of the heart are not something we can control. We've met a few times, and I have a feeling they're getting a little... intimate. Trying to break them up now will probably be difficult and might even backfire."

Qiao Yijue glared at Li Wanyue.

Are you a member of the Qiao family or the Jiang family?

"Dad, of course I'm a member of the Qiao family. I'm just giving you an objective analysis."

"I think you've been bewitched by the Jiang family, and your heart is with them now."

“Dad, don’t think so much. Just rest. Qiao Chu is a smart girl. She should know what to do. She’s now the Creative Director of all products at JOE. The whole industry is watching her. She’s under a lot of pressure.”

"Shut up, I don't want to hear you anymore. I'm going to get so angry if I keep listening."

Li Wanyue fell silent instantly.

She sent a WeChat message to Qiao Chu.

...

Jiang Zhi was playing a game when Qiao Chu hugged him from behind.

She pressed her face against his and said, "Honey, our grandpas are arguing."

Jiang Zhi frowned slightly.

What do you want?
