9, nine sweet pomelo
"My brother is back?"
Qiao Xunxun snorted noncommittally.
Just as he was talking, a tall figure walked out of the garden. He was tall and thin, with laziness in his eyes, a loose curvature of his mouth, and a three-pointed smile without saying a word.
He stood at the intersection of light and shadow, stretched out his hands and embraced her, "Youyou."
Qi You ran over and threw herself into his arms without hesitation like she did when she was a child. She gave him a big bear hug and hugged his neck like a baby. "Brother, why did you come back suddenly? You didn't tell me in advance?"
Shengyuan Group researches mobile phone chip technology. Qi Ran, the prince of Shengyuan, graduated from MIT. In order to better lead the development of the project after returning to China, he stayed in Silicon Valley for two years after graduating from graduate school and did scientific research. As a senior
Technical talent, he has not returned to China for more than a year.
Qi Ran patted her shoulder with fond eyes, "My sister is about to get engaged. How can I, a brother, be absent?"
Thinking of this, Qiyou pursed her lips angrily. Among the people who persuaded her to get married were her brother. She didn't understand why he was so anxious to marry her off when he was obviously still single.
She pushed Qi Ran away angrily, "Do you also think that Qiao Yanyan and I are suitable?"
Qi Ran smiled and touched her furry little head, and said gently: "You don't believe in dad's vision, or your brother's vision? I met him once in the United States, and although I didn't have much contact with him, I still have a good impression of him.
Yes, I can see that he is a responsible man."
Qi You snorted coldly and couldn't help but curse in her heart: If you are responsible, just keep her out for an entire afternoon?
She holds a grudge!
Qi Ran saw through the little ones in her heart and continued: "Don't worry, if he bullies you in the future, my brother will be the first to let him go."
Qi You rolled her eyes with satisfaction, hugged his arm and shook it, "That's pretty much it."

On the day of the engagement party, the sky was beautiful, the sunset was hidden in the clouds, and the sky was covered with pink glow, which was magnificent and gorgeous, like a large piece of sweet cotton candy.
Qiao Xunxun scheduled the banquet at a resort hotel owned by Qiao. Since it was far from the city, Chen Jinan deliberately set off two hours early. When he took a taxi and arrived at the hotel, the banquet had not officially started yet.
The banquet hall was decorated like a dream, with flowers and gauze decorated just right. Waiters wearing shirts and waistcoats shuttled through the hall carrying trays. The guests were enjoying themselves. The scene was warm and romantic. Even Chen Jinan, who studied stage design, couldn't make a mistake.
She stopped a waiter and was about to inquire about the location of the lounge when a few strange gossip suddenly fell into her ears.
"I don't know what kind of bad luck Qi You got to get engaged to the prince of the Qiao Group. Who doesn't know that her temper is notoriously arrogant in the industry."
"Hmph, if you had a stepmother like her, maybe it would be your turn."
"Tsk, what's the big deal about getting engaged? It's just a business marriage. She might become an abandoned wife one day."
"However, I heard that Qi You's brother seems to have returned to China. Should he be back today? It seems he doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
…
The upper class is also divided into different classes. Qiao is an incredibly wealthy business tycoon who cannot reach the top of the pyramid. Qiao Yanyan, as the current CEO, is young, handsome, wealthy, and powerful. Few people in the younger generation can compete with him.
Fight for one or two.
As soon as the news spread that he was going back to China, the famous ladies in the circle were ready to make a move. Who didn't make the wishful thinking of marrying into the Qiao family? But they hadn't even seen him in person, let alone how to launch an offensive. The Qiao family announced in a high profile that they were going to marry into the Qiao family.
Qi family marriage.
The moment they received the invitation, everyone felt dissatisfied, thinking that Qi You had the upper hand just because of Qiao Xunxun's close relationship with the Qiao family.
However, the facts have been established, so I can only say a few words behind my back to satisfy my taste.
Chen Jin'an looked over at those charming voices. Who were those bright-tongued women who were gossiping behind their backs? If not Qi You, the plastic sisters in the circle who did one thing in front of their faces and another behind their backs.
She walked over, pretended to get a glass of champagne, glanced at the women with the end of her eyes, and said lightly: "If Qi Ran knew that some people were so mean to his sister behind his back, do you think he would still look at them?
?If you have the time to chew people's tongue, why not lose weight ruthlessly, well..."
He glanced at someone's waist and said, "The dress is in ruins."
A group of people followed her gaze and burst out laughing uncontrollably. The noble girl quickly covered her face with her hands, her face turned red and green. Before she had time to settle the score with Chen Jinan, she had already left without looking back.
, leaving them with only a sullen back and a lot of resentment.

In the lounge, Qiyou was trying on the high-end dress that had just been shipped from Italy in the morning.
Because she was too busy during this period and really had no time to fly abroad, Qiao Xunxun only asked someone to report the size to the designer. She hurriedly received it before the engagement.
Time was tight, but the dress unexpectedly fit perfectly. It was tailored to the perfect fit and outlined her curves just right. The skirt was inlaid with hundreds of dazzling diamonds. She was as beautiful as a woman in the deep sea.
Swimming mermaid.
Chen Jinan pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw the scene in front of him, he blew out a series of rainbow farts in an instant: "Oh my God, our Youbao is some kind of peerless fairy. If I become a man in the next life, I will step on the colorful clouds to marry you."
Qi You brushed her long hair and threw an ambiguous wink at her, "I just appreciate someone as discerning as you."
The two chatted and laughed while passing the time of putting on makeup. Chen Jinan moved a chair and sat on Qiyou's dressing table, flipping through the large box of blingbling jewelry, and asked: "By the way, have you met your fiancé?"
"
Qi You snorted coldly when he heard this, "No."
"Not yet?!" It's no wonder that Chen Jinan was surprised. Is there any newlywed couple like them who are about to get engaged and don't even know what each other looks like?
The plastic couple was hammered.
She scratched her forehead and spoke carefully: "He won't really come, will he?"
"I wish he wouldn't come! I just have a legitimate reason to break off the engagement." Qiyou slapped her hand away, picked up a pair of earrings from the jewelry box, and compared them under her earlobes, "Do they look good?"
"Everything a fairy wears looks good." Rainbow Fart max player.
Just as he was talking, Qiao Xunxun opened the door and came in. Seeing Qiyou still dilly-dallying, he said anxiously: "My little ancestor, why haven't you finished your troubles yet?"
She was also dressed up today. Her fishtail dress was elegant and elegant, showing off her hostess style. After all, she was younger and had better foundation, which compared with those older wealthy ladies.
Immediately behind her was another noble lady, who was dressed gorgeously and elegantly. She seemed to be several years older than Qiao Xunxun.
Qiao Xunxun introduced: "This is my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law's aunt. Qiyou, don't be stunned, call someone."
Qiyou: "..."
It's really not that she doesn't want to scream, but that this generation is so chaotic that she really doesn't know what to shout.
Qiao Hui noticed her embarrassment, smiled, and said considerately: "Our ancestors are older and the seniority is a bit confusing. Just follow Chunyan and call me aunt. By the way, I just saw Chunyan come in.
, let me take you to meet him."
Come, come, come??
The gods did not hear her sincere prayers, but the dog man still appeared.
Qi You followed her out of the lounge without embarrassment. Thinking about the fiancé she was about to meet, she was suddenly more nervous than taking the college entrance examination. It felt like you put all your wealth on a lottery ticket and didn't know what was waiting for you in the future.
Losing all your money is still a huge prize.
She kept giving herself psychological hints that it was okay, even if he was too ugly, at least he still had money, but physically she couldn't change the problem of wanting to go to the toilet when she was nervous. She grabbed Qiao Hui's arm at the door of the banquet hall and said in surprise.
: "I'm sorry, aunt, I want to go to the toilet first."
Before Qiao Hui could nod, she turned around and trotted in the other direction with her skirt in hand. The hem of her gauze skirt slowly unfolded as she walked, making her look like a runaway princess.
Under the guidance of the waiter, she found the bathroom, where she spent three minutes mentally building herself up, and took a few deep breaths before Qiyou mustered up the courage to walk out and face the fact that she could not escape from the marriage.
The corridor leading to the banquet hall was long and narrow, and the overhead lights were dim and charming. From a distance, Qiyou saw a person standing at the end of the corridor. His suit and leather shoes outlined a slender and straight figure, leaning against the wall with a lazy posture.
.
As he slowly approached, Qing Jun's eyebrows gradually became clearer. Qi You's feet seemed to be stuck to the floor with strong glue, and she stared blankly at his face that had brought disaster to the country and the people, unable to move a step.
The man was swaying the red wine glass in his hand carelessly, exuding a dangerous aura of abstinence. A pair of deep eyes came over and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, "We meet again, Mrs. Qiao."
Qiyou: "..."
A low-alcohol and cold male voice sounded in the silent corridor. The air seemed to freeze in an instant, and only the heartbeat was still pounding faster, getting heavier every time.
Qiyou thought she was hallucinating, so she subconsciously rubbed her eyes, blinked, and rubbed them again.
The man's lips were loosely curved, and his smile did not reach his eyes. He slowly stood up straight and looked directly at her without hesitation.
Yes, yes, it was this evil face, this meaningful look, it was her partner who didn't run away overnight.
!!One night partner ahhhhhhhh!!!
Why did he come to her engagement party?! Was he trying to steal the wedding!!!
Ahhhhhh I'm dead!!!
Qiyou's brain was pounding, her temples were twitching, and she almost rose to the sky.
How could this happen? She had clearly told him that day, so why was he so persistent in pursuing her engagement party!!
Does he like! like! her so much!!
