Guo Meiying could clearly feel Ye Qiao’s coldness!

“Qiao Qiao is here…”

“Grandma, have you been feeling better recently?” Ye Qiao held Grandma’s cold hand tightly and asked. She was really afraid that after she found out about Guo Meiying’s dirty deeds outside, she would suffer a serious blow and her condition would worsen.

“Qiao Qiao, Grandma isn’t good, nor is she bad… She can still endure for a while, right?” the old lady said with a smile. When she looked at Guo Meiying, the smile on her face was gone. “Ah Ying, do you really plan to let Qiao Sheng marry Bai Xue?”

The old lady looked at Guo Meiying and asked.

Guo Meiying was really angry after being asked by the old lady. Was she going senile?

“Mom, everyone from the Bai family is here. It’s almost time for dinner. Why do you still ask?! Qiao Sheng and Bai Xue have been engaged for two years. If Qiao Sheng doesn’t marry her, who will he marry?!”Guo Meiying was a little excited, but she still had a smile on her face.

“Aunt, but Qiao Sheng doesn’t seem to like Bai Xue! This forced melon isn’t sweet! Why must it be Bai Xue?” Ye Qiao asked deliberately.

“Qiao Qiao, do you know the position of the Bai family in the board of directors? If our Qiao family doesn’t firmly support the Bai family, Huayuan Funds won’t belong to our family in the blink of an eye!” Guo Meiying said hurriedly.

Ye Qiao smiled. At this moment, the sad tune sounded again.

“Qiao Sheng! What are you trying to do on this joyous day?!” Guo Meiying’s face changed when she heard the tune and said angrily.

“Yes, Brother Sheng seems to like playing this tune very much. If I remember correctly, it’s Mozart’s Requiem, a Catholic mass hymn. It’s used to ferry the souls of the dead!” Ye Qiao said deliberately. Ever since she found out that Qiao Sheng’s ex-girlfriend had died, she understood why Qiao Sheng liked playing this song so much.

“What is he trying to do?!” Guo Meiying said and stood up. “Mom, I’ll go take a look. Everyone from the Bai family is here today. Qiao Sheng is being ridiculous!”

Guo Meiying went out, leaving only Ye Qiao and old Mrs. Qiao in the room…

“Qiao Sheng! Can you stop playing this song?! It’s awful! You’re such a good man, who do you have to be so weird all the time?!” Bai Xue looked at Qiao Sheng who was standing by the window, and Qiao Sheng, who was wearing a white shirt and casual pants, was playing the violin while I was immersed in the sad tune. She was shouting at him angrily.

“Qiao Sheng! Are you dead?! Stop playing that stupid song!” Bai Xue stomped her feet and covered her ears with her hands. “Today is a good day for our betrothal!”

Qiao Sheng still ignored her and continued playing the tune.

“Qiao Sheng! Do you still know what’s good for you?!” Guo Meiying came in and yelled at the rebellious Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng was not willing to listen to her. He even pulled himself up high. His body started to move at the saddest part. The man who was as gentle as jade had his eyes closed. His body kept moving along with the sad tune… 

After a few minutes, Qiao Sheng calmed down and put away the violin.

“Who said I wanted to marry her? I won’t marry her, I refuse!” Qiao Sheng’s handsome face was clear and cold.

When he said that, Bai Xue almost fainted. Guo Meiying widened her eyes. “Qiao Sheng, don’t talk nonsense! You’re not a willful child anymore. You’re a man who’s almost 30 years old!”

“Do you want me to go down now and say that I don’t want her in front of the Bai family?” Qiao Sheng was still as calm as ever. He looked at Guo Meiying indifferently.

“Qiao Sheng! How dare you!” Guo Meiying had also lost her usual sense of propriety.. However, she had already obtained the shares, so what was there to be afraid of?!
