The Xu family members stared at Qiao Mei. Since Qiao Mei said that it was “our restaurant”, she must be Li Gui’s daughter!
Old Madam Xu did not expect Qiao Mei to be more beautiful than she had imagined. She nodded in satisfaction while the other family members had different expressions on their faces. Xu Ba’s son, Xu Hang, looked very happy, but Xu Ba’s daughter, Xu Cai, looked disgusted.
“You must be Li Gui’s daughter! You’re so beautiful! What’s your name? How old are you this year? Do you have a boyfriend?” Old Madam Xu asked several questions in a row.
Xu Ba said awkwardly, “Mother! What kind of questions are these!”
“It’s fine. My name is Qiao Mei,” Qiao Mei said gracefully.
When Xu Tian heard Qiao Mei’s name, he stood up and quickly walked over to her. He extended his hand and said, “I’ve heard so much about you. I didn’t expect you to be Boss Li’s daughter. What a coincidence!”
Xu Tian’s factory had some business dealings with Qiao Mei’s factory. He would even say that Qiao Mei was like his god of wealth. If Qiao Mei decided not to collaborate with them anymore, his factory would close down in minutes!
Qiao Mei shook his hand politely and said, “It’s indeed a coincidence.”
“About our collaboration ”
Before Xu Tian could finish speaking, Qiao Mei quickly said, “It’s a family banquet today. Let’s not talk about work.”
“Sure, sure, sure! I was out of line! If there’s a chance, you must come to my house! You’re always welcome for a visit!” Xu Tian said excitedly.
Qiao Mei nodded politely. Xu Tian’s wife, Liu Xiao, quickly pulled him back to her side and whispered into his ear, “How did you get to know that little vixen! You’ve better come clean with me when we get home!”
“What nonsense are you talking about! That’s a big client of my factory! Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand the situation!” Xu Tian berated her softly.
Old Madam Xu was a smart person. She could tell from Xu Tian’s reaction that Qiao Mei was very important to his factory. If she could get Qiao Mei to marry a relative of the Xu family, then Qiao Mei’s assets would become the Xu family’s assets in the future!
“Young lady, do you have a boyfriend? I really like you the moment I see you. I know many young and promising men. Let me introduce you to them!” Old Madam Xu said.
“Is that so?” Qiao Mei looked at Xu Chun and said, “What a pity. I’m already married. Why don’t you introduce them to Xu Chun? I remember that Xu Chun doesn’t have a boyfriend yet!”
Xu Chun did not expect Qiao Mei to target her so directly. She quickly said, “I’m not in a hurry to get married.”
“Really? Then why did you go around telling other people that you’re already engaged to my younger brother? I would have thought that you’re feeling quite anxious about it,” Qiao Mei said.
Xu Ba immediately understood why Qiao Mei had asked for Xu Chun to come for the meal. He did not expect Xu Chun to have offended Qiao Mei. No! It should be said that Xu Chun must have offended the Xia family!
“What nonsense are you talking about, you little whore! When did my daughter get engaged!” Liu Xiao pointed at Qiao Mei agitatedly and scolded her angrily.
Qiao Mei had originally planned to have a good talk with the Xu family, but from the looks of it, this was not going to end peacefully.
Liu Xiao had always been prejudiced against Li Gui. She was also from the countryside and her family did not have much. When Xu Tian came to their village from the city to help out as part of a government initiative, the two of them met each other and then got married. It was only when she returned to the city with Xu Tian that she finally had a better life.
The Xu family was doing quite well now and the family members all looked down on Liu Xiao. If Li Gui married into the family, with Li Gui’s current net worth, Liu Xiao’s status in the Xu family would become even lower! Therefore, she was here today to ruin the possibility of Xu Ba and Li Gui getting married!
“What nonsense are you saying! Mind your language!” Xu Tian said furiously.
“Didn’t you hear what she said about our daughter? How dare you scold me!” Liu Xiao said.
“I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, go to your daughter’s workplace and ask around to see if she has previously said such things,” Qiao Mei said.
Xu Chun lowered her head and did not want to face this issue. Liu Xiao still wanted to continue scolding Qiao Mei but Old Madam Xu smacked the table and said sternly, “Why are you throwing a tantrum here! Sit down!”
“Mother! You can’t be so biased! She’s slandering us! She’s sullying my daughter’s good reputation!” Liu Xiao said as she pointed at Qiao Mei.
“We haven’t clarified the matter yet! Why are you so agitated! Sit down!” Old Madam Xu shouted.
Liu Xiao sat back down awkwardly. Xu Chun was so scared that she did not dare to make a sound. Old Madam Xu looked at Xu Chun and asked, “Xu Chun, tell us yourself.”
“This is all a misunderstanding! There’s no such thing! It’s a rumor that’s being spread around by other people. You can’t trust what you hear,” Xu Chun said softly.
“Is that so? That means that you and my younger brother are not in a relationship and have never been in a relationship, am I right?” Qiao Mei questioned.
