After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Wang Qin met her gaze and immediately became embarrassed. She subconsciously held Lin Xi next to her a little tighter.

Back then, she was just like this woman. She never forgot to dress herself up when she went out. Although she used various cheap and cheap skin care products, at least she still used them.

However, now, in front of Joey, who was about the same age and even older than herself, she looked so old and haggard.

Auntie noticed Joey's eyes and immediately introduced: "In-laws, this is Xingxing's mother. She just came back a few days ago. Come and get to know her."

Joey showed a generous smile, walked towards Wang Qin, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, in-laws, it's our first time meeting you, please give me some advice."

Wang Qin stood up awkwardly, wiped her hands on her clothes, and held Joey's hand, "Don't you dare, you are Qin Ce's mother, right?"

"Yes, I just came back yesterday, but you were not here yesterday, so I came here today. I hope I didn't disturb you all."

Wang Qin looked a little unnatural when she saw Joey's conversation, "No, I've heard that your family is abroad. It seems that life is different abroad."

Joey maintained a constant smile on his face, "Actually, it's the same everywhere. Everyone has their own living habits."

When Joey said this, he changed the topic again, "I heard that you and Xingxing haven't seen each other for 20 years. Have you also gone abroad?"

This sentence stopped Wang Qin, and the atmosphere in the room became a little uncomfortable.

Wang Qin was even more embarrassed when she faced this question. If she had a good life outside, she would be standing here as brightly as Joey.

She might still have the courage to answer, but now, she doesn't even have the courage to look at Joey.

"No, I didn't go abroad." Wang Qin's expression turned extremely ugly. She felt like she was too embarrassed to stay here.

Joey smiled and said, "You haven't gone abroad, so why haven't you come back to see me?"

If the previous sentence is a coincidence, then when this sentence comes out, it feels a bit like calling the enemy to task.

My aunt came up again to smooth things over, "My dear, you don't know something. Aqin has had a hard time these past few years, and she can't come back even if she wants to."

"I see, the in-laws have really worked hard." Joey acted like nothing was wrong and pointed to the things over there, "I see that you don't look too good, so I just bought a few boxes of donkey-hide gelatin and will eat them later. "

"Donkey-hide gelatin, I heard it's very expensive." My aunt said in surprise.

"It's not expensive. It doesn't cost much. Don't be embarrassed, in-laws."

"Oh, this star is really blessed. Seeing your mother-in-law be so kind, I feel relieved." My aunt said with a smile.

"That is, I am just a daughter-in-law now. If I don't be nice to her, what will happen if she runs away, right?"

These words made my aunt laugh, but Wang Qin next to her had a bitter look on her face.

This Joey looks kind-hearted and talks like a stick, and most people won't be able to tell it unless they listen carefully.

Qiao Xing was also a little moved, and she couldn't help but look at Joey more.

She said she was here to meet her in-laws, but it turned out that Joey and his aunt were chatting animatedly, while Wang Qin sat in the back like a backdrop.

At noon, my aunt cooked a table full of dishes and called Grandpa Qin over. The whole family sat together, looking very lively.

But the compliments aunt gave Joey at the table and the atmosphere there all seemed to be trying to please Joey and the others.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a gathering of unequal status.

Finally, her aunt asked Joey to attend Wang Ye's wedding, and Joey naturally agreed happily.

After dinner, Joey did not stay at his aunt's house for long and left right after dinner.

On the way back, Qiao Xing remained silent.

Qin Ce looked back at her from time to time, and suddenly his cell phone rang. It was Yang Han.

He picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Old Qin, is your sister here?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Yang Han sighed, "Here, I'm telling you, don't make a sound. I didn't sleep well all night when I went back last night. After thinking about it, I still want to tell you that there is something wrong with your sister. Do you know?"

Qin Ce didn't say anything, so he naturally knew.

Yang Han added: "You don't even know that yesterday she ran into my car crying and making trouble. She also asked me why I got married and why I didn't wait until she grew up to marry her. Am I crazy for her?"

"Is she suffering from some disease? Why don't you take her to see a doctor? I'm almost scared to death!"

Qin Ce hummed, "Is there anything else?"

"Oh yes, isn't it my dad's birthday? He heard that aunt is back, and he told me repeatedly to call aunt here."

"You said that since your whole family is here, you can't leave Qiao Xing alone at home, right? So I'm telling you, think about what to do."

"Also, don't focus on sex over friends this time. For the sake of my wife, I am not a good person in front of my father. It doesn't matter if you don't come, auntie must come, you know!"

Yang Han also told him repeatedly that this was a death order given to him by his father. If he couldn't fulfill it, he wouldn't be able to survive if he turned around.

Qin Ce frowned and asked, "When?"

"A week from now, next Wednesday."

"it is good."

After saying that, Qin Ce hung up the phone. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Xue Ling staring straight at him from behind.

You don't have to think twice to know what's going on in this girl's head.

In fact, besides Qiao Xing, Xue Ling is also troublesome in this matter.

"Cece, what's going on?" Joey asked.

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Qin Ce put the phone in his arms and drove back.

He never had a chance to tell Joey about this matter. It wasn't until Qiao Xing took Xue Ling out to buy groceries in the afternoon that he found a chance to tell Joey.

Joey held his forehead with a headache, "If I had known better, I shouldn't have brought this girl Xue Ling."

"It's been so many years, and she still..." Joey couldn't laugh now, "I'm just telling you, she has to pester me to go back to China, and she doesn't want to see my sister-in-law."

"What should we do now?" Qin Ce asked.

"Let me think about it." Joey nodded, "Wednesday, otherwise I'll take her there."

Qin Ce: "..."

"Forget it." Qin Ce got up and went to the study. There was no need to discuss it anymore.

The next day.

Qiao Xing woke up early in the morning and wanted to make breakfast, but ended up buying breakfast on the table.

Qin Ce had also laid out breakfast. When he saw her coming out, he said, "Hurry and wash your hands and eat."

"Okay." Qiao Xing came out after washing her hands. She remembered the business, "I'm going to S&C today. I'll ask later if I should go by myself or go to the company first and go together."

"If you go alone, we can go together."

Qin Ce's hand holding the chopsticks shook. He was silent for a moment, then placed the chopsticks in front of her, "You can ask."

Qiao Xing asked as he asked, and took out his mobile phone to send a WeChat message to Bai Yi.

After a while, Bai Yi came back.

Qiao Xing happily took Qin Ce's arm and said, "Our team leader says it's okay, then I'll go with you, so you don't have to make an extra trip to take me to the company."
