"Huh?" I was so astonished that I had to withdraw my hand. Without even thinking about it, I resolutely said, "I'm not going." I am not the least bit interested in meeting the Lou Family.

Seeing that I stood there motionlessly, Qiao Chenfei sighed helplessly. "Xiao Ying." He took my hand again. "I talked to my grandfather and father last night, and they agreed to let us stay together."

"Did you agree to any conditions?" I don't think it's that simple. With the old man's temperament, he wouldn't even let me take a step into the Lou Family. He must have exchanged something with the old man.

I thought about it, then decided to go. Since I'm with Qiao Chenfei, I'll have to face them. Moreover, I still have to listen to the recording and skin Zhong Ruoqing alive.

"Fine."

I went back to the bedroom to change my clothes, meticulously put on some makeup, and then went with Qiao Chenfei to the Garden.

Returning to the Garden once again, my identity had already changed from Eldest Young Lady to Second Young Master's girlfriend, and the servants didn't even know what to call me when they saw me, especially Liu Sao. When she called me "Eldest Young Lady" as she was used to, she was immediately scared witless by Qiao Chenfei's gaze.

I gave Qiao Chenfei a meaningful glance, telling him not to make things difficult for him.

"You should just call me Miss Tu." I said to Liu Sao while smiling.

"His name is Second Young Madam." Qiao Chenfei immediately instructed Liu Sao, his voice was loud, I knew he was saying it on purpose to other people.

Sure enough, when everyone heard it, their expressions changed, especially Xia Peiyun, but she endured it.

I didn't like the name either, it didn't make sense. I wanted to tell Qiao Chenfei not to say it like that, but when I looked at the stairs and saw that Lou Shaotang and Zhong Ruoqing were going down and they saw that I was doing the same, I didn't object.

But I didn't expect that Zhong Ruoqing was also there. Her crying face last night was still on my mind, but now she was smiling like nothing had happened. Had Lou Shaotang coaxed her? Right after the fight with me in the elevator?

"Understood, Second Young Master."

Liu Sao's reply cut off my train of thoughts, I secretly took a deep breath, and suppressed the suffocating air in my chest.

"Second Young Madam, I made you a cup of your favorite Count tea. Drink it while it's hot." Liu Sao pointed to a cup of tea on the tea table and said to me.

"Okay, thank you."

I openly accepted this form of address, then looked at Lou Shaotang arrogantly. I don't know what was on my mind, but I wanted to see his reaction.

He didn't react at all. After glancing at me for a moment, he moved his gaze away and sat down on the sofa.

On the other hand, when Zhong Ruoqing first saw me, her expression immediately changed. It was extremely ugly, and now that she saw me using that name, she immediately revealed a smile and walked towards me.

"Tu Ying." She called me kindly.

Heh, she can still continue acting after coming so far.

I glanced at her and curled my lower lip contemptuously, ignoring her.

She didn't feel embarrassed and continued, "We really have some fate. I didn't expect that we would have to be sister-in-law again."

Seeing her happy face, those who didn't know what was going on would think that she really wanted to be my relative.

I secretly sneered. I opened the tea cup and blew on the steam rising from the tea cup before casually saying, "This kind of thing is not about fate, but luck. I don't know if you have it or not? Before we left, we were left behind again. "

Even though I didn't look at her, I could tell from the silence around me how stiff her face was.

So what if Lou Shaotang had coaxed her? Being abandoned at the engagement scene by his fiance in front of everyone, for such a shameful event like this, no woman would be able to take it, much less Zhong Ruoqing who insisted on losing face. This matter must have already become a thorn in her heart.

It was obvious that I had salted her wound, and I was sure that she would not retort. Because there are so many people present at this moment. She would pretend to be magnanimous and sensible, not caring about her face and getting into a fight with me.

I smiled. I asked for it!

After being choked by me, and seeing that I had already ignored her and started chatting with Qiao Chenfei, Zhong Ruoqing felt bored and sat beside Lou Shaotang.

I glanced at them. Lou Shaotang was looking at IPAD with rapt attention, as if the things around him weren't related to him at all. It was as if he wasn't in the same space as us.

Zhong Ruoqing originally wanted to speak to him, but seeing that he was serious, she could only pursed her lips and tactfully did not disturb him, turning to speak to Shen Yiru instead.

I think it's because Zhong Ruoqing and I didn't get into a fight, so she personally went up to fight.

"I say, Peiyun, I never thought that you would be so magnanimous. If it were me, I would definitely not accept it."

She was clearly praising Xia Peiyun, but in reality, it was me giving her face. Xia Peiyun wasn't an idiot, how could she not recognize him? She was so angry that her face was flushed, but perhaps it was because of Qiao Chenfei, she did not reply, and only rolled her eyes at me.

Besides, I can understand Xia Peiyun's feelings. Who doesn't want their own son to find an innocent and good girl? It's fine if I'm not innocent, but if I'm not, then it's fine too. Of course she can't tolerate me.

It's just that Xu Manli's cheap mouth is annoying me, I don't understand her, what is there for her to be proud of right now?

Ever since my affair with Lou Cheng at the birthday banquet was exposed, he was dismissed by the old man and asked to be a small manager in "Tianyue"'s third division. He had no real power at all.

And now, Lou Shaotang had woken up again. Logically speaking, she should be the only one with his tail between her legs. Why was she still acting so high profile and not restraining himself?

"Speaking of which, it's my, Ji Tang's, who is sensible and knows what kind of women are playful and what kind of woman should marry into our family." Ignoring Xia Peiyun who ignored her, Xu Manli continued to play her as a monologue.

He held my hand and wrapped it around his palm, and then said to her in a cold voice: "Xiao Ying is the woman I should be marrying. You have such a free time, why don't you take care of your son."

His words were rude, and his contempt for Ji Tang was obvious, causing Xu Manli to become annoyed. He stretched out his neck and raised his voice: "What happened to my Ji Tang? "He's better off than you, his girlfriend is the young miss of the Tang Family."

Hearing her words, I suddenly remembered, a few days ago I saw in the newspaper that Lou Ji Tang was going on a date with a young lady from Towne, and it was rumored that the Lou Tang and Luo Tang are going to get married together. Although the Tang Family couldn't be compared to the Lou Family, it was still considered as one of the top families in Sea City, with a reputation comparable to the Zhong Ruoqing's family.

I was wondering why Xu Manli's tail had been sticking up recently.

However, Miss Tang was famous for being unruly and ruthless. If she knew that Lou Cheng had a double love, not only would she have a woman, but also a man, wouldn't she tear him apart?

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but raise my lips, looking forward to see this scene, especially to see if Xu Manli would be so shocked that even her eyeballs would fall out.

laughed coldly at her boasting and ignored her.

He turned to me and saw that I was smiling too. "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing."

Lou Shaotang and I were the only two who knew that Lou Cheng had a crush on her. At this moment, I couldn't help but think of the scene where he took me to GAY and helped me park the train on the street. I subconsciously looked towards him.

Thinking that he was still looking at IPAD, I didn't expect him to raise his head. Our eyes met without any warning.

I stared at him for a moment, forgetting to look away. But his eyes were so cold that they instantly extinguished the warmth I had just felt inside me.

Just at this time, the old man and Lou Yuanhai came down from the stairs. Everyone immediately fell silent and stood up, the atmosphere became cold in an instant.

I'm used to this kind of situation, no matter how noisy it was previously, as long as the old man appears, Lou Family would only be a little kid and see the King of Hell.

The old man swept his eyes over everyone. When he saw me, his gaze stopped for 2 seconds, but his expression didn't change.

On the surface, I didn't either, but I still felt nervous. It had to be said that in certain aspects, Lou Shaotang and the old man were extremely similar.

"Let's eat." The old tutor spoke plainly to everyone.

They followed him into the dining room.

My identity had changed, and so had my seat. I was arranged to sit in the row to the left of the old man, which was Lou Yuanhai's room. According to my seniority, my seat is the last, next to Qiao Chenfei's.

After I sat down, I looked across from her. Lou Shaotang was sitting on his usual seat and Zhong Ruoqing was sitting beside him. When she saw that I was looking at her, she glared at me. I smirked at her.

Not long after, the dishes had all arrived. Everyone was waiting for the old tutor to move his chopsticks first, but he wasn't in a hurry. He took a sip of tea and said to everyone, "Before we eat, I have something to announce."

Everyone looked at the old man, waiting for him to continue in silence and reverence.

The old man put down his teacup and looked at Qiao Chenfei, "From tomorrow onwards, Chen Fei will enter 'Tianyue' as the Vice President."

My heart thumped, as though I had a conditioned reflex, I immediately looked at Lou Shaotang. Lou Shaotang's expression didn't change at all, it was calm and cold. Just like what he said to me yesterday, no matter what Qiao Chenfei does, it will not affect him at all.

Just as everyone was silent, Xu Manli suddenly jumped out, her tone filled with anger. Normally speaking, she wouldn't dare have any objections to the old tutor's decision. She'd probably really been provoked this time.

Don't mention her, even I didn't expect that the old man would actually place so much importance on Qiao Chenfei. I felt that it wasn't really logical. The old tutor was a shrewd businessman. Even if he wanted to make up for the debt he owed this long-lost grandson of his, he would never take such an important position as "Tianyue". He could do it any other way.

"What rashness?" He used to be the CEO of a large international group, but now, I feel like it's a waste for him to become the vice president. " Xia Peiyun didn't think so. Hearing Xu Manli's words, she was very unhappy and immediately refuted her son.

"What big international group? No matter how great a power is, can it be compared with that of the Celestial? " Xu Manli's tone of voice was filled with contempt and she choked on it again.

These two women's quarrels gave me a headache. I shook my head and sneered, and looked towards Shen Yiru.

She was silent, but her face was dark, I think she must be feeling very pained in her heart right now, just that she has always been calm, unlike Xu Manli who doesn't know anything, who is extremely stupid.

"Alright, it's not up to you to judge my decision." The old man scolded Xu Manli sternly with a stern face.

Xu Manli was so frightened that she remained silent, but she could not hide the discontent on her face. She stared at Xia Peiyun angrily, while Xia Peiyun glared back at her.

I laughed in my heart. These two women had been constantly quarreling with each other in the past and the conflict of interests had increased once again. In the future, this family would probably be in chaos. Just thinking about it made my heart race.

"Shao Tang, Chen Fei, in the future, you two brothers will work together. The future of 'Tianyue' will depend on you two."

The old man's gratified voice interrupted my thoughts, I regained my senses and looked at Lou Shaotang and Qiao Chenfei respectively.

Lou Shaotang's face still did not reveal any expression, and only faintly responded "Alright."

It was the same for Qiao Chenfei. He looked coldly at Lou Shaotang with eyes full of contempt, then expressed to the old man that he would definitely give it his all.

It was finally time to eat, but other than the Old Master, Lou Yuanhai and Xia Peiyun, the others didn't seem to have a good appetite. No one talked, and they rarely used their chopsticks.

In this suffocating atmosphere, my appetite was reduced to nothing. Seeing that I only ate and did not eat, Qiao Chenfei gave me a piece of chicken.

Just as I was about to put it in my mouth, a foot suddenly reached out from under the table, holding my calf all the way up, right into my skirt
