"It turns out it was my dad who did this again." Mu Qiao was furious, but he didn't forget to apologize, "Deputy Captain Qiao, I'm sorry, my dad just wants to get close to the rich and powerful, you must not believe him, and you must not lie to grandpa."
"But grandpa has already believed it, and he said he wants to see our wedding with his own eyes." Qiao Lubai told the truth.
Mu Qiao almost fainted from anger. How could she have such a rich man as her father?
"Deputy Captain Qiao, don't worry. I'll call my dad and ask him to apologize to grandpa." Mu Qiao was about to hang up the phone, but Qiao Lubai stopped her, "Mu Qiao, I don't want grandpa to have any regrets."
Mu Qiao was slightly stunned, and asked in confusion, "Deputy Captain Qiao, do you mean to make the best of a bad situation?"
"Yeah!" Qiao Lubai actually responded.
Mu Qiao was happy, but he also had some strange feelings.
She always felt that Deputy Captain Qiao was forced into the job by her father. Deputy Captain Qiao was filial and did not want to disappoint his grandfather, so he compromised.
The whole thing was forced upon others by his dad, and Mu Qiao couldn't stand it.
...
...
After she ended the call with Qiao Lubai, she called Mu's father directly.
"Dad, how can you force a dying old man to get married?" Mu Qiao's father didn't care at all.
"It's all good as long as it's done." Mu's father's attitude is really unique.
"I won't marry. If you want to marry, you can do it yourself." Mu Qiao had to teach Mu's father a lesson.
Father Mu seemed to have grasped Mu Qiao's weakness, "You can choose not to marry, but I can't stop my good son-in-law Lu Bai from coming to marry me!"
"Good son-in-law Lu Bai?" Mu Qiao sneered, "Dad, you are really shameless!"
"Be thick-skinned and eat a piece of meat." Mu's father was a very realistic person. He told Mu Qiao, "Ever since your father and the president of Global signed the marriage certificate between you and Lu Bai, your father has become an honored guest in the rich family. It's so cool."
"Selling your daughter for fame!" Mu Qiao threw these four words to her father and hung up the phone. If she continued talking to her father, she would go crazy.
Before one problem is solved, another one arises. Mu Qiao had just finished arguing with his father when he received a summons from Lu Da.
"Master Lu, what did you say? Master Qiao wants to see me?!" Mu Qiao stood there in shock.
Mr. Qiao is a vice-state level figure. He summoned me, definitely because my father went to Vice Captain Qiao's grandfather to force a marriage.
Lu Feng nodded very affirmatively, "Mr. Qiao said that he was not going to see Lieutenant Colonel Mu Qiao, but his granddaughter-in-law Mu Qiao."
"Grandson's wife?" Mu Qiao really didn't dare to think too much about this title.
Because of her father's fuss, she always felt that she was in the wrong. When she got in front of Mr. Qiao, how should she face him?
Lu Feng seemed to see what Mu Qiao was thinking. He chuckled and said, "Mu Qiao, Mr. Qiao is actually very approachable. Don't feel too much pressure."
"Yeah!" Mu Qiao agreed, but he was panicking in his heart.
If it weren't for her father's misconduct, she, as a decent girl, would not be afraid to meet Mr. Qiao, but now their family is in the wrong!
Mu Qiao thought about it, and finally she decided: she must tell the truth in front of Mr. Qiao and must not help the evil.
A Military Region Headquarters.
Mu Qiao, looking dashing in military uniform, entered the headquarters office building under the guidance of the guards.
In the past few years, Mu Qiao often came here with Lu Da for meetings and did not feel nervous. But today, Old Qiao summoned her, especially as the future granddaughter-in-law, so Mu Qiao felt nervous from the bottom of her heart.
However, she concealed it well, looking calm and composed.
Outside of Mr. Qiao's office, the guard shouted in a loud voice, "Report!"
Someone opened the door immediately. It was a guard. "Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Mu!" The guard saluted and greeted Mu Qiao.
Mu Qiao returned the greeting and, with the courtesy of the guard, entered Mr. Qiao's office.
The guard took Mu Qiao to the sofa area, asked her to sit down, and brought her some tea. "Lieutenant Colonel Mu, the commander is in a meeting. Please wait a moment."
"Okay!" Mu Qiao responded, straightened her back, folded her hands on her thighs, and sat upright, embodying the elegance of a female officer to the fullest.
Not long after, the office door opened and Mr. Qiao, a man wearing a military uniform and with gray hair, walked in holding a cup of tea.
Seeing this, Mu Qiao immediately stood up, and when Old Qiao approached, he immediately saluted Old Qiao with a standard military salute, "Hello, Chief!"
Old Qiao returned Mu Qiao's greeting with a kind face, pointed to the sofa and asked her to sit down.
Mu Qiao gestured, and she sat upright only after the chief was seated.
Mu Qiao discovered that although Mr. Qiao was over sixty years old, he was still full of energy and spirit, with strong facial features. It was obvious at a glance that he was a handsome man when he was young.
In this respect, Deputy Captain Qiao inherited from his father, Captain Qiao. It can be said that the grandfather and grandson look very similar.
In Mr. Qiao's eyes, Mu Qiao in military uniform is not only heroic, but also has a special temperament, a temperament unique to female officers.
It can be said that Mu Qiao's military temperament is unmatched even by those girls in the military.
Old Mr. Qiao attached great importance to this point, and therefore understood why his grandson chose Mu Qiao.
"Mu Qiao, do you know why I summoned you?" Old Qiao asked straight to the point.
He was referring to me, the old man. This address was very friendly and homely. Mu Qiao understood what Old Qiao meant, and she immediately responded calmly, "You want to know something about me."
"Yes!" Old Qiao nodded, looking kind, "You are a very smart girl, but why is your father so eager to marry you off?"
Mu Qiao's face froze, she knew the leader was going to ask this question.
How could a normal father be like her father, so eager to "sell" his own daughter just to curry favor with the rich and powerful?
Mu Qiao had a serious expression and confessed the truth without hiding anything, "Commander, I'm sorry, my father didn't know anything about what happened between me and Deputy Captain Qiao. He just saw a little bit of the surface and mistakenly thought that Deputy Captain Qiao and I were in love, so he wanted to get close to me, which led to the current consequences. I'm very sorry, please punish me, Commander."
"So, you and Lu Bai are not really in love?" Mr. Qiao really knows how to get to the point.
Mu Qiao nodded and said honestly, "Vice Captain Qiao and I are not officially dating yet."
Old Qiao understood, and the look he gave Mu Qiao was a little complicated, but soon became clear and cheerful again.
"Before meeting you, I met Lu Bai. He said that you refused to associate with him, but..." Old Qiao hesitated and looked at Mu Qiao without saying anything else.
Mu Qiao felt like something was blocking her heart and she didn't know how to respond to Mr. Qiao's words. She pursed her lips and chose to remain silent.
"But he is willing to marry you." When Old Qiao said this, Mu Qiao was stunned. When he reacted, Old Qiao said, "Lu Bai's parents got married first and then fell in love. You and Lu Bai can also give it a try."
Mu Qiao heard from Deputy Captain Qiao that he was very opposed to this kind of marriage where marriage comes first and love comes later.
"Commander, can I consider it?" Mu Qiao couldn't refuse Mr. Qiao, but he couldn't go against his own wishes either.
