Sky-high ex-wife refuses to remarry

The birthday party of the old lady of the Qiao family was held at the mansion of the second uncle of the Qiao family.

Today's Ye Mian is wearing a simple and elegant ancient cheongsam, her long hair is rolled up, and the scars on her face are almost invisible after using concealer.Makeup is lightly applied, clear and moisturized.

She held Qiao Zhanbei's arm intimately, and the young couple appeared in the sight of all relatives lovingly.

When Grandma Qiao saw them, her hale eyes were full of smiles, and she said to herself, the relationship between the young couple seems to have really improved, unlike before, when they looked affectionate, they could actually tell that they were acting for her. The old lady watched it.

She smiled and watched the young couple kneeling on the futon, kowtow to her birthday.

After Ye Mian got up, the old lady reached out to her, and she went up to hold the wrinkled hand of grandma.

"We have become more dignified and gentle when sleeping and sleeping together. Standing with Zhanbei, we are truly a pair of lovers. They are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them. What a good pair!"

Old lady Joe said happily.

"Yes, Mianmian is not only beautiful, but also very talented. Among the children of our Qiao family, no one can compare to her, except of course, Zhanbei." Qiao Zhanbei's second aunt also echoed her praise.

Hearing this, Qiao Zhanbei's aunt, Qiao Jinlan, was very upset. She had been brooding over Ye Mian's dismissal of her son who was working in Qiao's before.

Knowing that the old lady was partial to Ye Mian, she didn't dare to say anything.

After Qiao Zhanbei kowtowed to his grandma, he went to the second floor to pay his respects to his grandfather, and went to the tea room to visit his second uncle Qiao Jinhuai.

Three years ago, after Qiao Jinhuai was wronged and investigated, less than half a year later, she was cleared of her wrongdoing and returned to her original post. This year she was promoted again, and now she is in a high position.

The two uncles and nephews drink tea and chat about current affairs in the tea room. They usually have a lot of affairs on their own and rarely have the opportunity to meet.

"Zhanbei, Qingzhou New City is the first project I have developed since I took office. I can rest assured only if I hand it over to you. You must help me do it well. I don't need to say more about the impact of this project on me and Qiao's. clear."

"Uncle, I understand. Don't worry, I will do this project myself."

"Your first step is to take down the Tong family's land first."

Ye Mian saw their nephew and uncle from a distance, they seemed to be talking about something very important, she didn't want to go in and disturb her, so she walked away.

"Isn't she just an illegitimate daughter with no status or background? See how the old lady spoils her? The children in our family have never seen her look at her twice."

"Sister, calm down. After all, that child is the grandson-in-law of Qiao's parents. The old lady is still waiting for her to spread branches and leaves for Qiao's family. Of course, she should be pampered. Besides, grandsons are not as close as grandchildren."

In the side hall, two women were gossiping, Qiao Zhanbei's aunt Qiao Jinlan and Tang aunt.

Ye Mian happened to bump into her, Qiao Jinlan saw her, her expression remained unchanged, she crossed her arms and spat, "What eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, wasn't the elder sister-in-law forcing Zhan Bei to marry her back then, so was the elder sister-in-law to atone for her sins?" He would not hesitate to let his son marry an orphan girl of such background!"

Ye Mian knew why this aunt looked down on her, so she replied straight away: "Aunt, what are you talking about here? I fired my cousin before, it was business affairs, he came late and left early every day, and embezzled public funds , eating, drinking, whoring and gambling outside—"

"You little girl, shut up!" Qiao Jinlan interrupted Ye Mian forcefully. She knew that her son was not up to date, but she couldn't hear what Ye Mian said.

"Then please let Auntie put down her prejudice against me." Ye Mian said seriously.

Qiao Jinlan sneered, "I'm telling the truth! Back then, your mother-in-law and your mother liked a man at the same time. Later, they turned against each other, and your mother was forced to death by her! She treated you well and brought you to Qiao's house to raise you." , forcing Zhanbei to marry you, do you think she loves you so much? That's because she wants to atone for her sins! It's not how good you really are!"

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Ye Mian's body swayed and her brain buzzed.

is it really like this?

She hadn't thought about why Qiao's mother insisted on forcing Qiao Zhanbei to marry her. She knew that he couldn't tolerate any woman in his heart at that time...

"Sister, of course our Mian Mian is really good, really good!" A confident female voice sounded, and a tall, slender figure walked in from the door of the side hall.

The person who came was Ye Mian's mother-in-law, Ms. Tang Wanzhou.

She was wearing a dark red one-piece dress, with black hair, radiant white skin, thick and beautiful face, even though she was over half a century old, she still had charm.

When Qiao Jinlan saw her, she just twitched the corners of her mouth, still looking confident.

Tang Wanzhou gave Qiao Jinlan a sideways look, and said again: "Your son who doesn't live up to expectations is just a moth in Qiao's family. Mianmian fired him because of Zhanbei's instruction. If you are angry, go to Zhanbei and let him go. Don't be picky." Persimmon squeeze!"

Qiao Jinlan's face turned red and pale after being teased by her, she pursed her lips, unable to speak.

Ye Mian thought that Tang Wanzhou would deny it, but she didn't. She was still protecting herself blindly as before.If she didn't do it, why didn't she just clarify and slap her aunt in the face?

So, she was kind to herself, and she really wanted to make amends?

"Mianmian, let's go downstairs, don't be as knowledgeable as people with pink eyes." Qiao Wanzhou walked up to Ye Mian, took her hand and left.

Seeing that she didn't explain a word, Ye Mian felt as if she had a soft thorn in her heart. She wanted to ask clearly but was afraid of bringing it to the table, which made everyone very embarrassed.

She couldn't help thinking again.

The words my aunt just said filled my ears.

Was mother really forced to death by her?

"Mom, why didn't you say hello in advance when you came back." Qiao Zhanbei met them at the stairs on the second floor, and he was slightly taken aback when he saw Ms. Tang for the first time.

"I know you are busy, so I won't make trouble for you."

The mother and son exchanged pleasantries, but Ye Mian didn't interject a word. When they were seated, Qiao Zhanbei put his arms around her waist and asked softly in her ear, "What's the matter? You don't look very good-looking, did you wear less clothes? Cool down today."

He took off his suit jacket and put it on for her.

"Thank you, I'm a bit cold." Ye Mian regained consciousness and said lightly.

She was really cold, the chill seeped out from the bottom of her heart, her hands and feet were cold, her mind was full of the scene of her mother hanging herself that night, eating the food that Qiao Zhanbei made for her, she couldn't taste it.

While eating, she felt nauseated, covered her mouth, got up and left the table without saying a word.

"Grandpa, grandma, second uncle, I'm sorry, Mianmian's stomach is not feeling well, I'll go and see." Qiao Zhanbei's heart tightened, and he said politely to the elders.

"Quick, go and see Mianmian!" Grandma Qiao waved him away.

Only then did Qiao Zhanbei leave the table and quickly went to the bathroom.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to be a mother-in-law?" During the dinner, the second aunt of the Qiao family looked at this scene and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Tang Wanzhou's eyes lit up, and Mrs. Qiao's eyes lit up even more.
