Following the old man's gaze, everyone turned to look in our direction. Some had looks of disbelief, while others were curious.

Following his figure, I looked up the stage, Lou Shaotang's gaze was tightly holding onto Qiao Chenfei, his face was cold and stiff, his expression extremely ugly, I have never seen him with such an expression. I think he must have been struck hard on the inside. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that this "senior worker" whom he had never paid any attention to would actually be his cousin.

When I thought about how he would be able to fight against Lou Shaotang in the future, and how Lou Shaotang would no longer be able to use him to threaten me, I felt relieved. But strangely, although I should have been happy, I actually felt a sense of worry in my heart.

I'm not worrying about that bastard! It's Qiao Chenfei, I'm worried about Qiao Chenfei.

Qiao Chenfei straightened his back and walked up the stage. He glanced at Lou Shaotang coldly and the corner of his mouth raised slightly. His smile was mixed with contempt, complacency and provocation.

"Grandfather." He stood by the old man's side and called out affectionately.

The old man nodded with a smile, patted his shoulder, and passed the microphone to him. "Say a few words to everyone."

Qiao Chenfei received it with a smile.

Judging from the familiarity of the two, they must have known each other for some time and had only found the opportunity to announce it today.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lou Zhongchang." Qiao Chenfei began to introduce himself to everyone, "However, I will still continue to call you Qiao Chenfei from now on."

A confused voice sounded from below the stage. Qiao Chenfei laughed and explained, "Because I've already used this name for more than 20 years. I'm used to it, so I don't want to change it. Furthermore, I also like hearing someone call me 'Chen Fei'. I want to listen to her continue to call me that until my hair turns white. " As he spoke, he looked at me tenderly, with a pampered smile on his lips.

Everyone followed his gaze, and when they saw me, their expressions changed.

I didn't expect that Qiao Chenfei would confess to me in this important occasion, but seeing those people who looked down upon me before, all of them revealed an expression of jealousy and envy, as if they were saying how this "abandoned woman" had such a good fate. After being kicked out of the by the First Young Master, he actually hooked up with the Second Young Master! I was unspeakably pleased with myself, so I straightened my back and raised my chin high.

However, there were still a lot of people who disdained me, but I didn't mind at all.

I glanced at Lou Shaotang, and his face turned even more unsightly than before. He then looked at Zhong Ruoqing, whose face also did not look too good, and thought that although the two of them were supposed to be the main characters today, Qiao Chenfei and I had stolen the limelight.

I smiled and met Qiao Chenfei's eyes with mine, intentionally showing that I was deep in love with him.

After Qiao Chenfei finished speaking, he supported the old man down the stage, and the scene was returned to the host, but Lou Shaotang was no longer in the mood to continue, he ordered the host to immediately end the ceremony, abandon Zhong Ruoqing and follow them down the stage.

Zhong Ruoqing was dumbstruck, she never thought that Lou Shaotang would abandon her. She stood alone on the stage, at a loss of what to do.

She squeezed her skirt and glared at me, but there was nothing she could do about it.

I snorted, and turned to look at Qiao Chenfei, only to see him leaning towards the old man's ear, saying something, then he walked towards me.

I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask him, but before I could open my mouth, he grabbed my hand. "Xiao Ying, follow me."

"Where are you taking me?"

He smiled mischievously at me. "See the parents."

I exclaimed in surprise. Before I could stop him, he brought me to the lounge.

I never dreamed that I would one day meet Lou Family again in such a way. However, I didn't feel awkward. Instead, I found it quite interesting.

But I think that Lou Family must hate me to death by now, especially Xia Peiyun.

Earlier, when Qiao Chenfei showed his love to me in front of everyone, I saw her looking at me like he was a knife, and wished that he could cut me into a thousand pieces. At that time, I replied her with a mocking smile.

No wonder she "kindly" wanted to help me introduce my boyfriend that day. She already knew that Qiao Chenfei was her son, so she did everything she could to get me to leave him.

Unfortunately, his plan failed to succeed. If I didn't guess wrong, that night Qiao Chenfei said that she had something on and didn't accompany me to watch a movie.

Qiao Chenfei brought me to the sofa, "Grandfather, Dad, Mom, this is Tu Ying, my girlfriend."

"Zhong Tang, stop messing around!" Hearing that he introduced me, Xia Peiyun immediately raised his voice to stop him, and then fiercely glared at me.

I pretended I didn't see it, but the corner of my mouth curled up into a smile. I was so angry that she clenched her fists. I thought that if the old man wasn't here, she would definitely hit me.

"I'm not messing around." Qiao Chenfei's face sank, "I'm serious."

The old man's smile disappeared as soon as I appeared in the lounge. He had a stern expression on his face, and he didn't say a word. Lou Yuanhai, who was at the side, secretly looked at Qiao Chenfei, hinting him not to talk about this matter right now.

"Sigh ~ I thought Zhong Tang had found some lady, but he actually picked up a broken shoe!" Just as the atmosphere became tense, Xu Manli's sarcastic voice came out from the side.

I admire this woman. How she always finds opportunities to mock people.

Being pressured like that by Xu Manli, Xia Peiyun's face immediately turned green, and the fist in her hand became even tighter. She had never felt so humiliated in front of this woman before.

But her taunts were child's play to me.

I smiled disapprovingly and looked at Xu Manli. Just as the word "Little" was about to leave my mouth, I changed my words, "Ms. Xu, what about you? Don't bark if you don't know the situation. Picking up broken shoes? " I laughed in amusement as I wrapped my arms around my chest and said, "The first time was actually for Chen Fei. If you really want to talk about picking up broken shoes, that would be."

I purposely paused, and looked towards Lou Shaotang, his eyes coldly staring at me, his face extremely cold. A trace of unease flashed across my heart, but it was quickly covered by me, and I continued with a mocking tone: "I still don't know who this person who picked up the broken shoes is!"

After saying that, I smiled and stopped looking at him.

Shen Yiru, who was originally standing to the side and was about to watch the fight between the tigers, immediately collapsed when she heard what I said. She glared at me as if she wanted to eat me.

I've never been afraid of her before, let alone now. I rolled my eyes at her and treated her like air.

Xu Manli did not expect me to be so "thick-skinned", and was speechless.

Xia Peiyun, who had lost some face because of me, had a slightly relaxed expression, but it was still as tense as before.

Seeing me calmly talking about this to everyone, Qiao Chenfei was very happy. He embraced my waist and said to the old man: "This is my first time being in love with Xiao Ying. If not for the fact that three years ago … "He paused, looked at Lou Shaotang with contempt, and continued," If not for some accident, we would have gotten married a long time ago. "Therefore …"

"Let's talk about this later." Before Qiao Chenfei could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by the old man.

Obviously, he didn't agree.

How can a man who has married his brother marry his brother again? It's not ancient. If word of this got out, where would Lou Family's face go?!

How could Qiao Chenfei not understand the old man's words?

"If you don't agree to me and Xiao Ying being together, then I won't come back Lou Family."

I looked at him in surprise. His words were calm, but his expression was firm, as if he had already made up his mind. No one could change his mind.

"Zhong Tang!" Xia Peiyun anxiously stood up, "Zhong Tang, you …

Qiao Chenfei frowned and interrupted her, "Mom, you should call me Xiao Fei or Chen Fei, I'm not used to this name."

Xia Peiyun was startled, and nodded her head helplessly.

Xiao Fei, you aren't young anymore, why are you still so impulsive when talking and doing things like a little kid? Seeing that the situation was in a deadlock, Lou Yuanhai came out to smooth things over, "It's getting late, why don't you send Tu Ying back first, we can discuss this later."

Qiao Chenfei thought about it and agreed.

He swept his gaze across the Lou Family and held my hand: "Xiao Ying, let's go."

I didn't want to stay here and see their faces, so I didn't say hello to any of them and left the lounge with him.

Zhong Ruoqing, who was previously smiling blissfully, had obviously cried. Her eyes were red and swollen, and now, she was using a handkerchief to constantly wipe her tears away, while her little brother, who did not learn anything, stood by her side with his sleeves rolled up, ready to beat someone up anytime.

No wonder they were like this. Lou Family treating them coldly today, clearly showing that she did not put them in her eyes, how could they still have any face? This matter will spread to the upper echelons of Seahold tomorrow, and they will become the laughingstock of the rest of the world.

Serves him right! Who let them like to climb higher!

But I don't get it either, didn't he love Zhong Ruoqing a lot, why would he leave her alone at such an important engagement ceremony? It seemed that in the face of benefits and love, a man would decisively choose his own interests.

After entering the elevator, I couldn't hold back my curiosity anymore and asked Qiao Chenfei, "Are you really Lou Zhongtang?" I still can't believe it. It's so unreal.

Qiao Chenfei tapped my nose and laughed: "You think I'm lying?"

I shook my head. "No, it's just that I feel that it's too magical." After some thought, he asked again, "When did you know that you were Lou Zhongchang?"

"More than a week ago." He said, "Do you still remember that day when we were eating at a restaurant, Lou Yuanhai came to find me?"

I thought back. "I remember."

"That was the time he saw the birthmark on my arm and suspected that I was Lou Zhongchang. At the time, I thought it was ridiculous and unbelievable, but he insisted and insisted that I do paternity testing with him. Seeing that he was so sure, I called my parents and asked them. At first, they did not admit to it, but after Lou Yuanhai went to look for them, they told them the truth, saying that they found me on the streets back then. "

After listening to him, I felt like I had watched a dog-blood ethics play and was experiencing what was called the butterfly effect.

If I hadn't purposefully fed Lou Shaotang that day to anger him, I wouldn't have knocked over the waiter's dishes, and Qiao Chenfei's clothes wouldn't have been dirty, so Lou Yuanhai wouldn't have had the chance to see the birthmark on his arm.

I couldn't help but laugh. To think that there was such a coincidence in this world, how inconceivable.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Qiao Chenfei never hid anything from me, I never thought that this job of keeping secrets would be done so well.

Just as I finished speaking, I thought of another question. "Also, since I already know your identity as Lou Zhongtang, why didn't the old gramps announce it earlier? Why did you wait until today?" According to the old man's temper, he wouldn't even delay the matter of acknowledging his ancestors and returning to his clan for a minute.

"I wasn't going to recognize them."

"Why?"

He stopped talking and just looked at me, his eyes burning.

"Because of me?" I couldn't believe it. Could it be because of the relationship between Lou Shaotang and I, that he is afraid of affecting the relationship between us?

However, it turned out that his misgivings were right.

"Otherwise?" Qiao Chenfei asked me back with a smile.

For a moment I didn't know how to respond to him. I felt so bad, so sorry, that he didn't even want to meet his parents for me, and I was still thinking about breaking up with him.

Seeing that I was frozen still, he raised my chin and said, "Xiao Ying, no one can stop us from being together. No one can."

His tone was especially solemn and his eyes were persistent, persistent to the point that it was almost stubborn. I suddenly felt a lot of pressure, thinking, what if I fail to live up to him one day, wouldn't he be in a bad mood? And I don't know why, but I always had a feeling that he and I might not get anywhere.

My heart felt like it was blocked by a huge boulder, making me unable to catch my breath. I could only change the topic, "Then why did you decide to go back now because of Lou Shaotang?"

"Right." Qiao Chenfei answered with certainty, "He's too arrogant, I won't let him continue to be this tyrannical!"

His eyes slightly narrowed as the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold arc.

Although I don't know how the Old Master would arrange for him to be placed at the "Heaven's Glaze" position, I can foresee that Lou Shaotang's days of acting alone would come to an end.

As I stepped out of the elevator, my steps grew heavy, and the feeling of worry rose from deep within me once more.

Halfway there, Qiao Chenfei received a phone call from Lou Yuanhai, telling him to go to the Garden. There was something important to discuss with him, so I didn't ask him to send me upstairs when we arrived at the apartment.

I stepped into the corridor and was about to reach the elevator when a figure suddenly jumped out from the side and stood in front of me. Startled, I started to scream, but when I saw the man's face, the scream caught in my throat.
