"Hehe~! He's your brother-in-law, and you can call me Sister Lele." Lin Lele came over and introduced him with a grin.
Upon hearing Lin Lele's words, Qiao Xin's eyes widened in shock, and she immediately shouted angrily, "Impossible! You damn liar, you actually dared to trick my family! Uncle Tian, get him!"
Tian Yuan was also taken aback. He did have doubts about Chen Yu being a relative of the Qiao family, but considering that Chen Yu was brought by Zheng Dong, he did not expose him on the spot.
But to his surprise, the other party claimed to be Qiao Xin's brother-in-law, that is, Qiao's son-in-law. Isn't that ridiculous?
He lived in the Qiao family his whole life. When did the Qiao family get a son-in-law?
He had watched Qiao Meng grow up since she was a child, and he knew her personality all too well. She wouldn't be so careless about such an important life event.
Even without Qiao Xin's instructions, he was already prepared to teach these two arrogant young people a lesson.
His somewhat cloudy eyes suddenly sharpened, and he exuded an aura that was not to be underestimated. He took a step forward and stood in front of Chen Yu and Lin Lele, like an insurmountable mountain.
"Gentlemen, although the Qiao family is not what it used to be, it is not something to be bullied. If you are truly relatives or friends of the Qiao family, you should naturally be treated with courtesy; but if you are just making empty promises and trying to get away with it, then I, Tian, am not someone to be trifled with."
Tian Yuan's voice was steady and powerful, not at all like that of an 80-year-old man.
His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if they could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
"Xiaoxin, Uncle Tian, don't be impulsive. Let them explain themselves first," Zheng Dong stepped forward at the opportune moment.
Chen Yu explained, "Hehe, Xiao Xin, my name is Chen Yu, and I'm with your sister..."
"Wait a minute," Qiao Xin interrupted Chen Yu, "What did you say your name was?"
"You should know Chen Yu from Tianyu Group, right?" Lin Lele added from the side, still wearing a look of anticipation.
"Is it Chen Yu, the one my sister did a feature report on?" Qiao Xin asked suspiciously.
"Yes." Chen Yu nodded, and at the same time took off the scarf wrapped around his face.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Xin's eyes widened again: "Chen Yu, it really is you!"
He then stepped forward, grabbed Chen Yu by the collar, and almost roared, "Tell me, what did you do to my sister?"
"Xiao Xin, don't be impulsive, your sister is fine now." Chen Yu quickly reassured her, his voice gentle yet firm, trying to ease Qiao Xin's tension.
"Some things did happen between Xiao Qiao and me, but I can swear to God that it was mutual."
Chen Yu said with a sincere expression.
"Scumbag!" Qiao Xin shouted the word through gritted teeth, and forcefully released Chen Yu.
If it were anyone else, she would never believe that her sister would fall for him so quickly, but if it were Chen Yu, she was relieved.
Long before the natural disaster struck, she often chatted with Qiao Meng, and at that time she vaguely sensed Qiao Meng's affection for Chen Yu.
At the time, she was vaguely worried that Qiao Meng would be deceived by Chen Yu.
Although she didn't know Chen Yu personally, he was a public figure as a super entrepreneur and philanthropist, and she had seen him in the media.
Unlike Qiao Meng, she disliked Chen Yu very much. She always felt that what Chen Yu said in the media was too empty, such as opening tunnels and building roads to give back to his hometown and setting up a foundation to help poor students. She felt that he had ulterior motives.
In particular, Chen Yu claimed in an interview that he had no interest in money and that his happiest time was when he had nothing and was working for a salary of 3,000 yuan. This made Qiao Xin feel that Chen Yu's words were not credible.
In her view, how could a billionaire not be interested in money? Such remarks are nothing more than a hypocritical public relations tactic.
She knew her sister Qiao Meng was naive and easily deceived, and she had originally intended to warn Qiao Meng about it.
However, before any warning could be given, the extreme cold disaster struck, plunging the world into chaos. The extreme environment turned cities into isolated islands.
Unexpectedly, what she feared actually happened. Today, Chen Yu actually came to see her as her brother-in-law. How arrogant!
Qiao Xin's anger surged within her, but she tried to calm herself down, after all, now was not the time to act impulsively.
"You mean, Xiaomeng is alright?" Tian Yuan suddenly interjected, his voice trembling slightly.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xin immediately realized what had happened. Yes, she had been so angry that she had overlooked such crucial information. Compared to Qiao Meng's safety, everything else was insignificant.
"Where is my sister? Did she go back to Kyoto with you?" Qiao Xin looked at Chen Yu expectantly.
“She’s in Zhongyang, which is too far away. I was worried about her safety on the road, so I decided to let her stay in Zhongyang temporarily. There’s a safe environment and the necessary living facilities there,” Chen Yu explained. “This is a picture I took with her before I left.”
As she spoke, she took out the photo of herself and Qiao Meng that she had shown Zheng Dong earlier.
Seeing Qiao Meng's happy face in the photo, Qiao Xin's eyes reddened slightly, and she murmured, "Sister, it's so good that you're alright."
Suddenly, she frowned: "Wait a minute, how can you prove this was taken recently? The weather is so cold now, even with heating, we need to wear thick cotton-padded coats at home. My sister is only wearing pajamas in the photo. You must have taken this before the natural disaster?"
"And what kind of conditions are you under? Taking photos during an extreme cold disaster?"
Chen Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. It was indeed his carelessness, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
The main problem is that with Zheng Dong here, there are many things he can't explain clearly.
"No matter what, all you need to know is that your sister is safe now," Chen Yu said vaguely. "This is a letter your sister asked me to deliver to your aunt and uncle. Everything will be clear once they read it."
He took out an envelope and shook it.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Xin snatched the envelope into her hand. She gripped the envelope tightly, her eyes showing both urgency and wariness.
Seeing that Qiao Xin was about to open the envelope, Chen Yu quickly stopped her, saying, "No, I think we should wait until your aunt and uncle come back and I'll give it to them myself. We can open it then."
At the same time, he took the envelope back into his own hands.
Although he didn't know the specific contents of the letter, he knew it mentioned the Tianyu Base. Zheng Dong was here at the moment, and he was afraid that Qiao Xin would leak the contents of the letter.
Qiao Xin frowned, but she didn't insist. She just stared at Chen Yu with a complicated look, as if trying to read something from his face.
After a moment, she said with a hint of mockery, "You still dare to see my parents? Aren't you afraid my dad will break your legs?"
"Hehe." Chen Yu chuckled awkwardly.
