Chapter 344 We have already obtained our marriage certificate and are a legally recognized couple.

Three days later, Xie's family.

Xie Qing's birthday banquet was held in the Xie family's ancestral home, an ancient house passed down from ancestors.

On the day of the birthday banquet, wealthy families from all over the capital came to celebrate his birthday.

Meng Zhiyi did not attend with the Meng family this time, but was with Shen Que and Old Madam Shen.

When we arrived at Xie's house, the house was full of guests.

Meng Zhiyi brought an ancient painting as a gift, and Shen Que gave a pair of antique vases.

"I wish Master Jie good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the South Mountain."

Meng Zhiyi was wearing a dark blue dress with the hem inlaid with tiny diamonds, which sparkled under the lights, as if a starry sky was printed on the hem.

Jie Qing smiled happily, looking at the two well-matched young men in front of him, and thought of his own daughter who refused to listen to advice.

"Brother, happy birthday." Old Madam Shen still called him brother affectionately like she did when they were children.

Xie Qingman's eyes, which were filled with the weight of time, were filled with a deep smile. He gently patted Old Madam Shen's hand, and the friendship between the two siblings was self-evident.

Among the crowd, Lian Mubai, who had disguised himself, was standing in a corner, looking sinisterly at the people who were talking and laughing in the middle of the hall.

When he saw Meng Zhiyi, who was like the moon surrounded by stars, he hated her so much that his teeth were about to break.

At this moment, a bodyguard came up and whispered in his ear. Lian Mubai then looked away, turned around and left the hall with the bodyguard.

The moment he turned around, Meng Zhiyi also looked over here, but unfortunately Lian Mubai's figure was blocked by the bodyguards.

"What's wrong?" Shen Que asked in his ear.

Meng Zhiyi clenched his hands hanging at his sides and said worriedly, "I don't feel very good."

Shen Que's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately became serious: "You stay here with grandma, I'll go make the arrangements."

"good."

After Shen Que left, Meng Zhiyi moved closer to Old Madam Shen.

She also did not forget to look at the Meng family who were chatting and laughing with others not far away, and observed them carefully to make sure there were no suspicious people around them.

At that time, Lian Mubai came to the front garden under the guidance of his bodyguard, and happened to meet Qiao Shu who was talking on the phone with Meng Tinglan there.

Lian Mubai did not forget the purpose of his visit. After Qiao Shu hung up the phone, he straightened his clothes, put on a gentleman's smile, and walked straight towards Qiao Shu.

"Miss, do you have time to chat?"

Qiao Shu had just sent a "I love you" emoticon to Meng Tinglan. When she heard the voice and looked up, she saw Lian Mubai with a pretentious look on his face.

She frowned and looked around herself to make sure that the other person was talking to her.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Shu's expression was cold, and there was a hint of aloofness in her expression.

Having been spoiled by her five brothers since she was a child, she is very familiar with this kind of deliberate approach.

Therefore, Lian Mubai was put on the blacklist immediately.

Lian Mubai put on an expression that he thought was very handsome and said, "I have been observing you from a distance for a long time."

Qiao Shu frowned: "Are you sick? Do you like peeping?"

Lian Mubai: “…” Why is it different from what’s shown on TV?

He quickly calmed down and continued, "Miss, you are very beautiful. I would like to have a chance to get to know you."

Qiao Shu pulled the corner of her mouth, raised her chin slightly, and said with an arrogant attitude: "Sorry, I don't like you."

"?" Lian Mubai almost laughed out loud at Qiao Shu's answer.

Qiao Shu was too lazy to waste time talking to this inexplicable person, and without waiting for Lian Mubai to speak, she just walked past him.

"Ms. Qiao!" Lian Mubai refused to give up. He turned to face Qiao Shu's back and gritted his teeth and said, "Is it not okay for us to just get to know each other?"

Qiao Shu turned her head and sneered, "Who do you think you are? Why should I get to know you?"

After saying that, she didn't give Lian Mubai a chance to speak again and strode away in her high heels.

Lian Mubai stood there shaking with anger, thinking that this was the first time in his life that he was approached by a girl and he was humiliated like this!

Why did this woman make him feel as disgusted as Meng Zhiyi?

Just when Lian Mubai was about to vomit blood in anger, Ai Rui suddenly appeared from nowhere and asked, "How is it, did you pick her up?"

"Women are indeed the most annoying creatures!" Lian Mubai gritted his teeth.

Ai Rui was slightly stunned, somewhat confused.

"How are your preparations going?" Lian Mubai suppressed the anger in his chest, turned around and asked.

Ari had a proud smile on his face: "Everything is ready. Now we just have to wait for the acceptance results."

lobby.

After Qiao Shu entered, she quickly found Meng Zhiyi in the crowd and walked straight towards her.

"Master Jie, I am Wen Xia's daughter, and I am here to wish you a long and healthy life." Qiao Shu had a proper smile on her face. After offering her blessing, she stood next to Meng Zhiyi.

Jie Qing: "Wen Xia's daughter has grown up so fast. She is a good girl."

"Thank you, Grandpa Jie, for the compliment." Qiao Shu is very popular in front of the elders because of her sweet talk.

After a few people chatted with Jie Qing for a while, Shen Que also came back.

He whispered in Meng Zhiyi's ear, and then saw her frown slightly.

"Do you want to stop it?" Meng Zhiyi asked.

Shen Que was a little embarrassed, and when he wanted to say something, Xie Lingxue had already walked in with Ai Rui.

Now, everyone in the hall focused their attention on the two of them.

Jie Qing's smile completely disappeared when he saw Ai Rui, and was replaced by a deep displeasure.

"Lingxue, didn't I tell you not to bring him back?" Jie Qing did not tolerate it for the sake of face.

Xie Lingxue's face showed a trace of grievance: "Dad, how long are you going to oppose it?"

Ari also spoke at this time, with a faint smile on his face, looking very gentlemanly.

"Uncle, Lingxue and I are truly in love. Although I don't know why you hate me, I will not give up on her."

Jie Qing snorted coldly and slammed the cane in his hand to the ground: "Oh, whether you are sincere or have other intentions, you know it in your heart!"

"Don't think that just because you can fool Lingxue, you can fool me!"

"Dad!" Xie Lingxue didn't understand why her father hated her boyfriend so much.

She said with a cold face and a very unhappy tone: "You can dislike him, but you can't humiliate him in public like this!"

"I know that in your heart, only those wealthy families are worthy of your attention. But I just like Ari."

"Besides, I brought him here today because I have some news to tell you."

"We have already obtained our marriage certificate and are a legally recognized couple."

As soon as Xie Lingxue finished speaking, the whole hall suddenly fell silent. Even Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que, who were standing beside them, showed shocked expressions.

Jie Qing's hand that was holding the crutch was shaking constantly, and the loose skin on his face was twitching. He looked at the daughter he had doted on since she was a child in disbelief.

"What did you say? Say it again?!"

Xie Lingxue felt a little scared when she saw her father's furious expression.

But Eric held her hand tightly at this moment.

Xie Lingxue seemed to have found someone to rely on, and mustered up the courage to say, "I said, we have already obtained the marriage certificate."
