I won’t marry anyone but him, haha…
Ye Qiao snorted coldly.
The voices of the Gu family couple gradually faded. They didn't know that Lu Beixiao had a girlfriend. She had just deliberately not shown up in front of the Gu family couple in order to save some face for her future mother-in-law, Ms. Du.
Ms. Du came back from City N with her uncle. He still doesn't know about her and Lu Beixiao. She has already told Brother Xiao to talk to Ms. Du in the evening.

The news of Qin Lan's arrest soon reached the Qin family. Although they didn't know who the informant was, they all believed that it was done by the Ye family, which made the old lady of the Qin family even more angry!
Qin Lan committed a crime and should be arrested, but in the eyes of the Qin family, this was the Ye family challenging their Qin family!
——
Qin family
At nine o'clock in the morning, all the major figures of the Qin family arrived. The Ye family had seven members: the old chief of staff, two aunts, two aunts, Ye Shengxun, and Ye Qiao. The atmosphere was tense, and both families looked grim. Old Mrs. Qin kept everyone waiting for a full forty minutes before she showed up.
Old lady Qin, who was acting very arrogantly, was supported by the servants and came to the living room. Everyone stood up. The old lady squinted her eyes and twirled the Buddhist beads in her hands.
She scanned the people from the Ye family one by one and then sat down.
"Please sit down!" Old Lady Qin said while pursing her lips, with a tone that sounded like "My dear ministers, please stand up." As she sat there, she also had the arrogance of the Empress Dowager Cixi!
Ye Qiao had no impression of this old lady Qin. The Qin family had been very strong in recent years. The head of such a large family must have a strong, arrogant and protective personality.
"Who is that little girl?" Old Mrs. Qin asked in a raised voice, squinting her eyes as she looked at the girl who had her hair tied up and was wearing a simple and elegant modified cheongsam-style dress, looking like a lady from a noble family.
Ye Qiao, who had been sitting in an inconspicuous corner, stood up gracefully in front of all the dignitaries, took a step forward, and smiled: "Mrs. Qin, I am Ye Qiao."
She was neither humble nor arrogant, and used "yes" instead of "call". The difference of one word made a world of difference in meaning.
The Qin family's eyes all fell on the graceful figure in the corner. Most people could see her appearance, and at a glance, they were all amazed!
This is actually that wild girl from the countryside? !
After not seeing her for so many years, she has grown into such a graceful girl! No wonder Qin Lan regards her as a thorn in his side!
Back then, when the Ye family first brought Ye Qiao back home, Qin Lan had also come here to make a scene. When Old Lady Qin saw the plump and earthy Ye Qiao, she said to Qin Lan, "This little girl is nothing but a nobody. She won't pose a threat to you. Don't bother with her."
Just as the old lady expected, Ye Qiao in his previous life was indeed not a big deal.
"You are the illegitimate daughter of the Ye family, Ye Zhenzhen's half-sister..." the old lady said with contempt.
Her attitude really annoyed the Ye family. The eldest aunt was about to argue, but Ye Qiao spoke first.
"The old lady is a vegetarian who chants Buddhist scriptures. Buddha said that all beings are equal. All living beings on earth possess the wisdom and virtue of Tathagata, just like Buddha! Your practice is not enough...!"
When Ye Qiao said this, the whole audience was shocked!
She actually dared to confront the old lady!
"You little girl, you are courting death by arguing with my old lady!" Old Lady Qin's biological eldest daughter stood up and said angrily.
Ye Qiao just smiled and said calmly, "I'm just a little girl and I don't know how to control my words. If I'm rude, please forgive me and don't hold it against me! But, Madam Qin, you don't know that Ye Zhenzhen and I are not half-sisters. We have different fathers and mothers!"
