Chapter 13 Zhou Chong and Jiang Yao are getting engaged on the same day
The Huaicheng Military Region no longer allowed Jiang Yao to enter and sentenced her to two years in prison.
However, Jiang Yao was willing to invest 200,000 yuan in national construction and was sentenced to two years in prison with one year of probation.
In other words, as long as Jiang Yao behaves well within the next year and no longer commits any illegal or disorderly acts, he will not need to serve those two years.
A surge of anger rose in Ye Qiaoqiao's chest.
I didn't expect Zhou Chong to be willing to spend most of his fortune to save Jiang Yao.
No wonder she died so tragically in her previous life and was kept in the dark.
If she had known how deeply Zhou Chong loved Jiang Yao, she would never have had anything to do with Zhou Chong.
Even though she has been reborn and doesn't need to marry Zhou Chong anymore, Ye Qiaoqiao still feels filled with grief and anger when she thinks of the betrayal and hurt she suffered in her previous life.
"Ye Qiaoqiao, I heard that you are engaged to Fu Juechuan on the 16th!"
Zhou Cong's voice suddenly appeared behind him, and if he listened carefully he could hear the unreasonable anger in his voice.
Ye Qiaoqiao turned her head and saw Jiang Yao, who was in a dishevel and smelly state, standing next to Zhou Chong.
But Jiang Yao was in a very good mood at the moment.
Obviously he was showing off to her how important he was in Zhou Cong's heart.
"Of course, my father has spread the news, and all the uncles, aunts, and cousins I know in the compound will come to my engagement party."
Ye Qiaoqiao half-closed her eyes and said, "We don't have a good relationship, so I won't invite you."
"Of course, I'm mainly worried that you'll ruin my happy event."
"Very good!" Zhou Chong felt a surge of anger filling his chest. "It just so happens that I also have good news to tell you. I will also be engaged to Yaoyao."
"Brother Zhou, it's my blessing to marry you." Jiang Yao took the opportunity to hug his arm to please him.
Ye Qiaoqiao sneered. No wonder Jiang Yao was so happy. Her plan was successful. She wanted to see how "happy" Zhou Cong would live after marrying his "white moonlight" home.
"Congratulations." Ye Qiaoqiao curled her lips.
"Very good." Zhou Cong stared at her, trying to find a little sadness and anger on her face. He didn't believe that Ye Qiaoqiao wasn't jealous.
"I will give Yaoyao a grand engagement party."
Ye Qiaoqiao looked at him expressionlessly, "Oh, I see. What next?"
Zhou Chong was puzzled and didn't understand why she didn't care about him at all. He felt ashamed and annoyed for a moment, and instead started thinking about Ye Qiaoqiao.
After he angrily took Jiang Yao away, he fell into deep thought in the car.
Jiang Yao called him several times before he came to his senses.
"Brother Zhou, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Qiao Qiao?" Jiang Yao asked with displeasure in her eyes.
Zhou Cong pursed his lips, "Qiao Qiao has changed, she must be playing some tricks, you just focus on getting engaged to me, she can't stop us from getting married."
Jiang Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard him accusing Ye Qiaoqiao, and nodded obediently, "Got it, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Chong was finally satisfied. He refused to admit that he could not accept being ignored and abandoned by Ye Qiaoqiao from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Qiaoqiao turned around and went home happily.
I thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, when Ye Qiaoqiao was preparing for the engagement party at home, her uncle Gu Jin came back from college after taking a year off. The first thing he said was, "Qiaoqiao, I heard that Zhou Cong is also getting engaged to Jiang Yao on the 16th?"
Ye Qiaoqiao hasn't gone out for several days and is trying on her engagement dress.
She was not surprised at all when she heard the news suddenly. She just sneered, "Zhou Chong is still as disgusting as before."
"It is rumored that Zhou Chong will give a huge betrothal gift, at least 10,000 yuan, and will also hold a large banquet, inviting businessmen and cadres in Huaicheng who have dealings with the Zhou family to attend the engagement party." Gu Jin continued.
This news spread widely among the upper echelons of Huaicheng.
Anyone with connections would know about the feud between Qiao Qiao and Zhou Chong.
He was clearly taking the opportunity to slap Ye Qiaoqiao in the face.
Trying to laugh at Jojo for choosing the wrong person.
"Uncle, we should be happy that we are away from that scumbag." Ye Qiaoqiao didn't care and comforted him.
Seeing his niece's good temper, Gu Jin's eyes darkened and he said in a faint voice, "He hit you in the face, and you still laughed. This matter has spread all over the compound, and everyone is laughing at you."
Gu Jin took a sip of tea and tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about what he should do.
"I don't care." Ye Qiaoqiao was not surprised at all when she heard the news. In her previous life, Zhou Chong was able to secretly support Jiang's mother without her knowing, allowing her to live a rich life.
He even chose the most expensive cemetery for Jiang Yao. Every year on Jiang Yao's death anniversary, he would go to pay tribute to her no matter how busy he was.
Someone was hired to clean Jiang Yao's tombstone every day.
Later, when Zhou Chong became richer, whenever he saw precious jewelry, he would buy it without telling her. Those were gifts for Jiang Yao, and they were a constant reminder of Jiang Yao.
"Besides, this little bit of betrothal gift is nothing. Didn't he just spend 200,000 yuan to rescue Jiang Yao?" Ye Qiaoqiao snorted.
Gu Jinduo glanced at her twice and said, "Tsk tsk, I didn't realize that Qiao Qiao is also good at digging into people's hearts."
He breathed a sigh of relief at the price Zhou Chong paid.
"But." Gu Jin put down the enamel cup, crossed his legs, and placed his fingers on his knees. "He's just a nouveau riche. Neither the Gu family nor the Ye family can be laughed at by him."
"This is my savings. Take it. At the engagement party the day after tomorrow, just say it's the betrothal gift from Fu Juechuan." Gu Jin handed her a passbook.
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't expect her uncle to do this.
She immediately stood up and refused with a serious expression, "Uncle! I don't want your money."
"Instead of giving it to me, you might as well take the money and go to the hospital for a physical check-up. Don't hide it from me. I know you have stomach discomfort."
Ye Qiaoqiao felt sad when she thought about how her uncle in her previous life died of stomach cancer five years later.
Now that she has been reborn, she must not let her uncle get sick or have any accidents again.
Gu Jin looked at her in surprise and said, "How do you know that my stomach is upset? It's just a minor problem, don't react so strongly."
"No, I will react strongly. If you don't agree to let me go to the hospital, I will have to ask my dad to persuade you."
Gu Jin's expression instantly twisted, and he was very reluctant to be alone with his brother-in-law. When his sister had the accident, he was still young and had been in conflict with Commander Ye for six years. If it weren't for Qiao Qiao's thoughtfulness, perhaps his relationship with Commander Ye would still be strained.
Especially when Gu Jin discovered it at the end.
It was all due to my misunderstanding of Commander Ye.
How could he not be embarrassed?
"Okay, I promise you." Gu Jin gritted his teeth.
Ye Qiaoqiao smiled.
Gu Jin shook his head helplessly. Seeing that Qiao Qiao really didn't care about such face matters, he sighed and decided to accept that Fu Juechuan could not afford a high bride price.
He just blamed everything on Zhou Chong who did it on purpose and wanted to cause some trouble for Zhou Chong's business.
Gu Jin stood up, walked out of the house, went downstairs, sat on the sofa and made a phone call, "Old Zhao, have you heard about the Zhou family's son's engagement? I'll give you a spot to participate, you go to the interview and try to publicize the Zhou family's extravagance."
"If you can find out that the Zhou family is evading taxes, I guarantee you'll get a promotion and a raise."
Old Zhao happily took the job.
In the blink of an eye, it was January 16th.
Early in the morning, after Ye Qiaoqiao got up, she heard a lot of noise downstairs. The soldiers from the army's kitchen were setting the table and preparing meals. Commander Ye had agreed with Fu Juechuan to hold the engagement banquet at the Ye family's house.
There is no need to go to the military cafeteria.
"Qiao Qiao, are you up?"
