Chapter 1442 Deliberately Making Trouble
Fortunately, as soon as Qiao Nan appeared, she put the "meaning" that Qiao Zijin wanted into her hands, which made Qiao Zijin feel more balanced.
Qiao Zijin and Zhou Zheng stood at the door to welcome the guests. In order to take their relatives and friends to the seats, the parents of both parties also stood at the door waiting. The moment Qiao Nan appeared, the Zhou family couple was particularly happy. No matter how bad the relationship between the daughter-in-law and Qiao Nan was, as long as Qiao Nan was willing to give the daughter-in-law this face, everyone could get by, it would be a great thing for their Zhou family.
Unfortunately, Qiao Zijin's performance made Zhou's mother feel overwhelmed. She said she had become smarter, but in front of Qiao Nan, the daughter-in-law's IQ didn't seem to have improved much, she was still stupid.
Such a small red envelope, what's the point, no matter how big the red envelope is, it can't compare to the face brought by the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family coming to the wedding in person!
Fortunately, Zhou's mother figured it out quickly. She saw that Qiao Nan's expression didn't change at all because of Qiao Zijin's performance, so she simply didn't think about it.
Yes, they are sisters, and Qiao Nan knows what kind of person Qiao Zijin is. Because of this, Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin's relationship is not very close. When her sister got married, Qiao Nan didn't go back to the Qiao family to send Qiao Zijin off.
If Qiao Nan didn't even show up at the wedding banquet today, Zhou's mother would have a headache. Maybe the Zhou family really married the wrong daughter-in-law. As soon as Qiao Nan showed up, Zhou's mother's anxious heart immediately settled down, and she was more enthusiastic when receiving guests.
"Nan Nan, I heard that you were back a long time ago, why didn't I see you before? Where have you been these two days? Don't you remember our uncles and aunts, the old neighbors?" Qiao Nan invited the neighbors from the Beida courtyard to the wedding banquet as her family members, and Qiao Zijin did the same today.
The difference is that Qiao Nan invited almost everyone who was not the kind of person who had no moral integrity and was jealous of Qiao Nan. Qiao Zijin just picked a few neighbors who were usually more flattering and had never ridiculed her.
Otherwise, if Qiao Zijin really acted like Qiao Nan and invited 90% of the neighbors in the Beida compound to come over for dinner, Zhou's mother might not be willing to take the initiative to pay for the wedding banquet for the bride's relatives.
As soon as Qiao Nan sat down, a bunch of old acquaintances quickly surrounded Qiao Nan and asked him about this and that.
Facing the enthusiasm of these old neighbors, Qiao Nan smiled and responded: "It was too late the night we first arrived in Pingcheng, so I didn't bother you. The next day, my dad came to see the three children. Yesterday, the three of us adults took the three children to the park to play. You know, three-year-old children are energetic, and there are many people during the National Day. After two days, I not only didn't have time, but I was also exhausted."
As for all the questions about Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan avoided answering.
"Dad!" At this time, Qiao Nan saw Qiao Dongliang coming in: "Dad, wait a minute, where are you sitting?" Zhou's mother asked Qiao Nan to sit at the table of the bride, but Qiao Nan didn't want to, so he only sat at the table of the bride's relatives and friends. Qiao Dongliang's relationship with Qiao Zijin is not as good as before, but no matter what, he is still Qiao Zijin's father. Qiao Nan doesn't think that her father will definitely sit next to her. As
Qiao Nan expected, Qiao Dongliang looked like he had a headache: "Today is a once-in-a-lifetime day for Zijin. Just give her some face. After all, she has called me dad for more than 20 years." Even in her heart, she may not have regarded herself as a father.
"Okay, then I won't save a seat for you." Qiao Nan had guessed this result long ago, and didn't care at all when she heard Qiao Dongliang's answer.
After Qiao Dongliang sat down, his expression was not very good, and he didn't look like a father who was going to marry his daughter at all. There is no joy of a daughter growing up, nor is there any reluctance and sadness of a daughter marrying into another family. That wooden expression, as if today's bride has nothing to do with him.
Some people noticed this with sharp eyes, while others just thought that the father of the bride was more introverted, hiding all the emotions and sadness in his heart and not showing them. Such fathers do exist in this world.
At eleven o'clock, the dishes finally began to be served one by one, and music began to sound in the hall. The MC hired by the Zhou family has good eloquence and is particularly good at creating an atmosphere. Soon, this MC drew everyone's attention to him until today's newlyweds entered.
All the wedding processes were similar. The scenes that were still new in the early 2000s were commonplace to Qiao Nan. A bunch of people were staring at Si Yi and the newlyweds, but Qiao Nan was the only one who calmly took a bite of the food on the table from time to time, interpreting the three words "wedding wine" to the fullest.
However, Si Yi's tone changed: "Today is a great day for the two newlyweds. Let's hear how their closest friends and relatives bless them. Now we would like to invite the bride's only sister to come on stage and say a few words of blessing to the newlyweds."
Amidst the thunderous applause, Qiao Nan almost looked confused.
Was this part added at the last minute? For a scene like this, shouldn't there be advance arrangements, even like a rehearsal, with positions practiced in advance and the speech written?
Not to mention Qiao Nan was confused, Zhou's father and mother looked even more confused than Qiao Nan, wondering if they had heard it wrong just now. Why would they ask the bride's sister to go on stage to give a speech?
They knew that Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin had a bad relationship. Except for today, Qiao Nan had never returned to Qiao's house to see Qiao Zijin before she got married, and said some caring words to Qiao Zijin. The two sisters had never met before, how could Qiao Nan prepare a speech for such an occasion? Is this a surprise attack?! In other words, if this was arranged by Qiao Zijin, then Qiao Zijin clearly wanted to see Qiao Nan make a fool of herself.
Zhou's mother's face turned serious, and her hands shook with anger. She wanted to snatch the microphone from Si Yi's hand to express that Si Yi was wrong just now.
There is no doubt that how could Si Yi know that the bride has a biological sister. The person who could make Si Yi say such a thing at this time, except Qiao Zijin, can only think of Qiao Zijin. As a result, Zhou's mother couldn't help but worry about Qiao Nan. If something really went wrong because of this, the Zhou family would never be able to explain to the Zhai family. Fortunately,
Qiao Nan's dress was not impolite, and Qiao Zijin's surprise attack did not make things difficult for her. She calmly stepped on her five-centimeter high heels, making a clacking sound as she walked up. In an instant, with just the sound of her high heels, Qiao Nan not only stabilized her aura, but also naturally caught everyone's attention.
