Chapter 1437 Deliberately Causing Trouble
Fortunately, as soon as Qiao Nan appeared, she put the "meaning" that Qiao Zijin wanted into her hands, which made Qiao Zijin feel a lot more balanced.
Qiao Zijin and Zhou Zheng stood at the door to welcome the guests. The parents of both parties also stood at the door to wait for their relatives and friends to take their seats. 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 was already a good thing for their Zhou family.
Unfortunately, Qiao Zijin's performance made Zhou's mother feel overwhelmed. She became smarter, but in front of Qiao Nan, this daughter-in-law's IQ didn't seem to improve at all, she was still stupid.
What is a red envelope like this? No matter how big the red envelope is, it cannot 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 stopped thinking about it.
That's right, 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 did not go back to the Qiao family to see Qiao Zijin off.
If Qiao Nan didn't even show up at this wedding, Zhou's mother would be worried. She might have chosen the wrong daughter-in-law. As soon as Qiao Nan showed up, Zhou's mother's anxiety was immediately put at ease, and she was more enthusiastic when receiving guests.
"Nannan, I heard you were back a long time ago, but why didn't I see you before? Where have you been these past two days? You don't remember our old neighbors, uncles and aunts, right?" Qiao Nan had invited the neighbors from the Beijing University compound to attend the wedding banquet as her family members, and now Qiao Zijin did the same.
The difference was that Qiao Nan invited almost everyone who was not a person of bad manners or who had envied Qiao Nan. Qiao Zijin, on the other hand, 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 Peking University compound to come over for dinner, Zhou's mother might not be willing to take the initiative to pay for the 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 hypocritically: "It was too late the night I first arrived in Pingcheng, so I didn't bother you. Secondly, 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 full of energy, and there are many people during the National Day. After coming here twice, not only did I have no time, but I was also exhausted."
As for all the questions about Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan avoided answering them.
"Dad!" At this time, Qiao Nan saw Qiao Dongliang coming in: "Dad, wait, 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 she just 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, and Qiao Nan doesn't think her father will definitely sit next to her.
As Qiao Nan expected, Qiao Dongliang looked like he had a headache: "Today is the only day in Zijin's life, 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 reserve a seat for you." Qiao Nan had already guessed this result, and when he heard Qiao Dongliang's answer, he didn't care at all.
After Qiao Dongliang sat down, his expression was not very good. He did not look like a father who was about to marry off his daughter. He did not have the joy of his daughter growing up, nor the reluctance and sadness of his daughter marrying into another family. His expression was so dull, as if today's bride had nothing to do with him.
Some people noticed this, while others thought that the bride's father was more reserved, hiding all his emotions and sadness. Such fathers do exist in this world.
At 11 o'clock, the dishes were finally served one by one, and music began to play in the lobby. The MC hired by the Zhou family was a good speaker and was especially good at creating a good atmosphere. Soon, the MC drew all the attention to himself until the newlyweds entered the room.
All the wedding processes were similar. What was still a novelty in the early 2000s was now commonplace to Qiao Nan. A bunch of people stared 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 "eating a wedding banquet" to the fullest.
However, the MC changed his tone: "Today is the wedding day for the two newlyweds. Let us hear how their close friends and relatives wish them the best. We would like to invite the bride's only sister to come up to the stage and say a few words of blessing to the newlyweds."
Amidst the thunderous applause, Qiao Nan almost looked dazed.
Was this part added at the last minute? Shouldn't a scene like this be planned in advance, like a dress rehearsal, with practice moves and written speeches?
Don't be confused, Qiao Nan. Zhou's father and mother looked even more confused than Qiao Nan. They looked as if they had heard it wrong. Why would they invite the bride's own sister to give a speech on the stage?
They knew that Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin had a bad relationship. Except today, Qiao Nan had never returned to Qiao Zijin's house to see her or say anything to her before she got married. The two sisters had never met before. How could Qiao Nan prepare a speech for such an occasion? Was this a surprise attack? In other words, if this was arranged by Qiao Zijin, 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 hands to express that Si Yi was wrong just now.
There is no doubt that Si Yi could not possibly know that the bride has a younger sister. The person who could make Si Yi say such a thing at this time, except Qiao Zijin, could not think of anyone else. As a result, Zhou's mother could not help but worry about Qiao Nan. If something went wrong because of this matter, the Zhou family would not be able to explain to the Zhai family.
Fortunately, Qiao Nan's dress was not impolite, so she was not upset by Qiao Zijin's sudden attack. She calmly stepped on her five-centimeter high heels, making a clacking sound. In an instant, with just the sound of her high heels, Qiao Nan not only stabilized her aura, but also naturally caught all the attention on herself.
