Chapter 23 Jiang Xinhui’s lies to win people’s hearts!

Song Qiao was stunned by Chen Yang's question. Her mind went blank for a moment. It was the first time she didn't know how to answer Chen Yang's question.

Chen Yang noticed the evasion in Song Qiao's eyes. He instantly thought of Xie Yanli, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

He hurriedly stepped forward and took Song Qiao into his arms, comforting her: "Qiao Qiao, I was just joking with you. You must be suffering from pre-marital anxiety. This is normal. Don't think too much. You will be fine after we get married."

She didn't know what was going on. Song Qiao was clearly in Chen Yang's arms, but all that popped into her mind was the scene of Xie Yanli carrying her to the hospital when she was sick.

Song Qiao was also frightened by the thoughts in her mind. She pursed her lips. Why did she think of him at this time?

Although Song Qiao did not immediately agree to marry Chen Yang, she promised that after she was discharged from the hospital, their two families would sit down and have a meal together.

Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was time for Song Qiao to be discharged from the hospital. After Chen Yang picked her up from the hospital, the first thing she did was to go to the studio to check on the employees' work progress, and then return to her own operation room to complete the order placed by the mysterious customer.

Just when she was extremely busy, she received a call from Chen Yang.

Chen Yang said he would come and pick her up to go to the restaurant right away. Song Qiao looked out the window and realized that it was already afternoon and it was almost time for the dinner that their two families had agreed upon.

She hurried out of the operating room, changed into spare clothes, and then simply washed and dressed. When she left the studio, Chen Yang was already waiting at the door, and Xu Qin came with him.

Song Qiao saw that Xu Qin had changed into new clothes and dressed up carefully. Song Qiao could tell that she attached great importance to this party. Xu Qin was trying her best to please her along the way.

After getting off the car at the restaurant, Chen Yang opened the trunk. Song Qiao then saw that the trunk was filled with various high-end gifts. Moreover, the restaurant Chen Yang chose was one of the best in Beijing. Song Qiao felt both touched and pressured by Chen Yang's spending.

After entering the restaurant's private room, Song Zhiming and Bai Shuyu arrived not long after. After they exchanged greetings with Xu Qin and sat down, Xu Qin asked Chen Yang to pour her a glass of white wine, and then she stood up with the glass raised.

"My dear relatives, I wasn't good enough to Qiao Qiao before. I have deeply realized my mistakes. I will definitely be twice as good to Qiao Qiao in the future and treat her as my own daughter. I hope you can give me another chance."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and drank the glass of white wine, then bowed deeply to both of them.

Although Song Zhiming and Bai Shuyu were dissatisfied with her, they were both well-educated and cultured people. They stood up quickly and said politely, "Qiao Qiao is our only child. She is also spoiled and ignorant. Don't say that."

Xu Qin noticed that they didn't call her in-laws. She knew they still had concerns about her, so she waved her hand and denied it, "Qiao Qiao is a good child. She comes from a noble family, but our Chen Yang is a child from the countryside. Not only does she not despise him, she is very good to him. I, as a mother, have seen all of this. I had a problem with Qiao Qiao before, but in fact, I was afraid that she would despise us. Now I am relieved after seeing this all the way. Qiao Qiao is not that kind of child. It is our Chen family who is marrying up to you."

After she finished speaking, she asked Chen Yang to pour her another glass of wine, and added sincerely: "My dear relatives, I know that there is a generation gap between me and the children at my age. Don't worry, I will return to the countryside as soon as they get married. In fact, I am used to staying in my hometown, and I am not used to staying here. There are still a bunch of chickens and ducks at home waiting for me to feed."

Xu Qin just mentioned what Bai Shuyu and Song Zhiming cared about most. They were afraid that Xu Qin would get too involved in their life as a young couple in the future. They were relieved when they saw that Xu Qin was determined to go back to her hometown.

If we leave Xu Qin aside and only talk about Chen Yang, they don't mind his background and are satisfied with him.

Xu Qin saw that the expressions on their faces were obviously much more relaxed, so she told them the purpose of coming here today: "My dear relatives, I want to ask when you plan to hold the wedding for these two children?"

After Xu Qin finished speaking, Chen Yang stood up immediately. He looked at Song Zhiming and Bai Shuyu and said very seriously: "Uncle, aunt, I am serious about Qiao Qiao. I love her and I am willing to spend the rest of my life taking care of her. Please rest assured, I will definitely treat her well in the future and will not let her suffer any grievances."

Song Zhiming glanced at Bai Shuyu, who nodded. He then expressed his opinion: "Chen Yang, you and Qiao Qiao have been dating for so many years. Qiao Qiao's mother and I like you very much. We certainly hope that you two can get married as soon as possible so that we can have a grandchild sooner."

Song Qiao bit her lower lip unconsciously when she heard this.

Seeing Song Zhiming's statement, Chen Yang took the opportunity to ask, "Uncle, we will be busy after we sign the agreement with Lu Group. Why don't we hold the wedding as soon as possible while we still have some time?"

Without waiting for Song Zhiming to speak, Xu Qin took out the bank card from her coat. She walked up to Bai Shuyu, held her hand, and said, "My dear, there is 500,000 yuan in here, which is all our belongings. The password is Qiao Qiao's birthday. This is not only our gift to Qiao Qiao, but also represents the greatest sincerity of our Chen family."

Song Zhiming's eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

The reason why Bai Shuyu had concerns about Song Qiao marrying Chen Yang was because Xu Qin refused to pay the bride price. She didn't care how much the bride price was. Not only would she not take the money, she would also give it as a dowry to Song Qiao. All she wanted from the beginning to the end was an attitude.

Now that she saw Xu Qin's sincerity, she felt relieved. She nodded and accepted the money, which also meant that she accepted the marriage.

"They have been dating for so many years and have been engaged before, so why not hold the wedding as soon as possible before the order comes in? This weekend is a good day. What do you think, in-laws?"

Xu Qin excitedly held Bai Shuyu's hand, smiling and saying repeatedly: "My dear, that's fine." After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment, turned to look at Song Qiao, and asked cautiously: "Qiao Qiao, Chen Yang is 100% willing, what do you think?"

All eyes were focused on Song Qiao in an instant. She was stunned for a moment, stood up, and stammered, "Sorry, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I want to go to the toilet first."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and left the room. Song Zhiming and Bai Shuyu, who were present, laughed and teased, "This kid is still being coy at this time."

Xu Qin then smiled and tried to smooth things over: "It's normal for girls to be shy. My dear, it's such a happy occasion, let's have another drink."

"Okay, cheers!"

Chen Yang accompanied them to drink, but his brows looked as if he was troubled.

Song Qiao went to the bathroom in a daze, then closed the door and sat in the bathroom for a long time before she came out.

When she was washing her hands at the sink, she unexpectedly ran into Jiang Xinhui putting on makeup. She didn't want to say hello to Jiang Xinhui. When she was about to leave after washing her hands, Jiang Xinhui stopped her and said condescendingly: "Song Qiao, I'm also your senior from the same school. Isn't it a bit rude for you not to even say hello to me?"

Song Qiao was too lazy to pay attention to her and said lightly: "There are no outsiders here, who are we acting for?"

Jiang Xinhui sneered and raised her eyebrows: "I can see that you are still concerned about that incident from that year?"

Song Qiao looked at her and asked sharply, "Are you admitting that you interfered with the relationship between me and Xie Yanli?"

Jiang Xinhui approached her and suddenly smiled calmly: "Song Qiao, you don't have to bear a grudge against what happened back then. Yan Li and I were a couple. He agreed to your confession at that time just because he was angry with me."

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Xinhui added sarcastically, "Why else would he go to England alone without you? And when he got there, he didn't contact you. You probably don't know that he asked me to go to England, and he bought my ticket. To be honest, Yan Li really let you down. He took advantage of your feelings for him just to be angry with me."

Song Qiao froze in place, his fingers unconsciously clenched tightly.
