"What? You said he is your husband? But didn't Ji Youyou say that your husband is--" Qi Wenlei looked Gu Ye up and down. He did not doubt Jiang Yue's words, but he was a little confused at the moment. He had always thought that Jiang Yue's husband was an old man who was remarried and had a burden.
But look at the man in front of him, young, handsome, tall, and imposing. Putting aside the question of whether he is a second marriage with a child, just from his appearance, how can he be the rough, old, and wretched old man that Ji Youyou described?
"Haha!" Jiang Yue had already noticed Gu Ye's cold gaze passing over her head. She pulled up the corners of her mouth and laughed dryly twice, and quickly changed the subject, "Qi Wenlei, is your family familiar with Hao Fugui?"
"Not very familiar, but we have some contact!" When Qi Wenlei heard Jiang Yue asking about the relationship with the Hao family, he pointed to the other side and said, "My grandfather knows Chairman Hao."
"Then do you know what the purpose of holding this banquet today is?" Jiang Yue asked again.
She noticed that the few people standing at the door who had just clamored to drive her and Gu Ye out stood aside in silence after seeing Qi Wenlei coming over and talking to her.
Even Han Chengren and Han Yao were surprised when they saw Qi Wenlei calling their names.
Jiang Yue's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. It seemed that the Qi family did have some status in the provincial capital.
The fake daughter’s engagement was broken off, and she will probably have a hard time in the Ji family now!
"It is said that this is a welcome party for a gentleman from Beijing!" Qi Wenlei looked at Jiang Yue strangely, as if he didn't understand why Jiang Yue, who was already here, didn't know why the Hao family was holding this party.
"So you also know President Hao?" Qi Wenlei asked.
"Of course I know them. We are here today to settle accounts with their whole family!" Jiang Yue smiled.
"Settling accounts? What accounts?" Qi Wenlei was confused.
"Wen Lei, who are you talking to?" At this time, an old voice came.
"Grandpa!" Qi Wenlei turned around and waved to an old man with a cane.
When the old man saw Qi Wenlei talking to a young couple, his expression was calm at first, but after seeing the faces of the young couple clearly, he suddenly stopped and a look of surprise appeared on his old face.
"Wen Lei, do you know them?" the old man asked.
"Grandpa, she is Jiang Yue, do you remember her? She is Ji Youyou's sister!" Qi Wenlei whispered the last few words in the old man's ear.
"It's her!" Old Qi was even more surprised now. He looked Jiang Yue up and down, and couldn't connect her with the stupid and vulgar country woman from half a year ago.
He could not have imagined that the person who had a conflict with the Han sisters in the western restaurant on Sunday was actually the Ji family's biological daughter.
"Jiang Yue, this is my grandpa!" Qi Wenlei then remembered to introduce Jiang Yue.
"Hello, Grandpa Qi!" Jiang Yue also recognized that this old man was the one who warned them in the western restaurant not to mess with the Han sisters. She thought that since Qi Wenlei introduced them so politely, she should also say hello politely.
Who would have thought that when Old Qi heard Jiang Yue calling him "Grandpa Qi", his eyebrows sank and he snorted coldly, "I, Qi Zhengshan, only have one grandson, but no granddaughter!"
"Grandpa! What are you talking about!" Qi Wenlei never thought that Old Qi would not give Jiang Yue face, and he was very dissatisfied.
Jiang Yue shrugged indifferently, "Don't think too much, Mr. Qi. I don't have a grandfather like you!"
Gu Ye sneered, "He wants to be your grandfather, but he is not qualified!"
“How arrogant!” When Old Qi saw this young man actually mocking him in front of so many people, he was so angry that his face turned red. He slammed his cane on the ground and shouted, “I want to see how you can get away with it today!”
"Don't worry about this, Mr. Qi!" Gu Ye glanced around, his eyes arrogant, "All those who are close to the Hao family who came here today will have to fend for themselves!"
"I think it's you who have to take care of yourselves!" Seeing that the two people who came dared to mock even Old Qi, and that Old Qi obviously had a bad attitude towards them, several people on the side stood up to help Old Qi scold Gu Ye and Jiang Yue.
"Let's go!" Old Qi pulled Qi Wenlei away.
"Grandpa!" Qi Wenlei didn't understand why his grandfather said such words to Jiang Yue and her husband, and he insisted on leaving.
"Come here and I'll tell you!" Old Qi didn't want to offend the Hao family because of his grandson's acquaintance with Jiang Yue, especially since the Hao family had a distinguished guest coming today. He also wanted to make friends with them, and his plan couldn't be ruined because of an insignificant woman.
Qi Wenlei followed Mr. Qi and left, looking back frequently. He saw Jiang Yue talking to the man next to him.
"What? Jiang Yue had a conflict with the Han sisters!" Qi Wenlei was so shocked that he was speechless after hearing Old Qi briefly recount the grievances between Jiang Yue and the Hao family.
He has been very busy recently and hasn't paid much attention to the news. This is the first time he heard about these things today.
"Okay, now that you know, don't mess with that woman! She's not an easy person to deal with!" Mr. Qi still remembered what happened in the western restaurant that day and snorted, "In fact, if she had just been patient that day, it would have been over. But she insisted on competing with the Han sisters and couldn't bear any loss!"
"And her husband is a soldier. After today, he may not be able to be a soldier anymore!" Old Qi glanced back, but his eyes were full of contempt. The young man looked really outstanding, no wonder Han Yao fell in love with him, but it was a pity that he had no vision. For a woman, he offended someone he could not afford to offend. His future in this life might be over!
Several people who were familiar with Mr. Qi held the same view after hearing what he said.
"However, the Hao family is entertaining distinguished guests today. Will these two people coming uninvited affect the guests?" someone expressed concern.
"Don't worry about that. The Hao family is not a pushover. It's impossible that they can't handle such a small matter!"
Qi Wenlei turned around to look at Jiang Yue, only to see her with her head tilted up, talking to the man next to her, smiling and happy, and seemingly not bothered by the discussions around them.
"You can still laugh now, but you will cry and leave later!" Old Qi said coldly.
He then said to Qi Wenlei: "It's right for you to cancel your marriage with the adopted daughter of the Ji family now. That girl is not worthy of you. Wait for grandpa to find a better girl for you!"
Qi Wenlei was distracted and didn't hear what his grandfather was saying at all.
However, the people nearby heard Mr. Qi say that Qi Wenlei had broken off the engagement with the Ji family, so they curiously stepped forward to ask, and said that they knew a suitable girl to introduce to him.
At that time, it was no exaggeration to say that Jiang Yue and Gu Ye were looked down upon by everyone, but neither of them cared. The more proud Hao Fugui's family was now, the faster they would be slapped in the face later!
Han Chengren came over and said to Gu Ye and Jiang Yue, "Go now. It was wrong of us to destroy your store, but you have retaliated! I advise you to quit while you are ahead and don't wait until things are irreversible to regret it!"
"Regret? There is no such word as regret in my Gu Ye's dictionary!" Gu Ye raised his eyebrows.
