"Hey, you're with Jing Lian, call him 'Big Brother'!"
"What's so exciting? When did I say your mom was a mistress? Take a seat and enjoy?"
"You——"
Qiao Jingting opened her mouth, wanting to retort something, but found herself being blocked by Gu Yan's one sentence, unable to utter a single word.
Zi Yun stood by, still reeling from the shock, but didn't forget to glance at Qiao Jingting's meticulously made-up face, which was now a kaleidoscope of colors due to this man's single sentence.
Putting aside other things, just looking at Qiao Jingting's usual overbearing expression, with a face that was both stifled and unable to erupt, if the situation allowed it, she really wanted to applaud and cheer.
Gu Yan Shen...
The corners of her eyes turned slightly, and her fleeting gaze happened to meet his.
In that instant when their eyes met, she suddenly realized that he had been watching her all along. Underneath his calm gaze seemed to be a hint of a smile that was not quite a smile.
Heart skipped a beat!
She hastily shifted her gaze away, and a thin layer of sweat seeped out from her palms.
What is he doing staring at himself like that? From England yesterday to C City today, in such a short time, he... must have recognized himself too, right?
But at this point, he should be like himself, pretending not to know each other.
………
"Yan Shen, it's been 20 years since I've seen you like this." Li Muhua suddenly stepped forward and pulled Qiao Jingting behind her, smiling with a hint of malice. "How is your mother? After all these years, she still doesn't know how to teach her son."
Gu Yan's gaze remained still, and upon hearing this, he only smiled faintly, "I haven't seen you teach your own son to be any good either."
This sentence is obviously aimed directly at Qiao Jinglian.
The proud man's face turned iron-green with rage, and he was even more dissatisfied with him. "I don't care who you are, the Qiao family has no place for someone like you, get out of my sight!"
"Shut up!"
Qiao Shiyun abruptly interrupted, Qiao Jinglian's words were not yet finished, he was already furiously advancing forward, pointing at Qiao Jinglian and saying, "I'm telling you now, and also to you—" He pointed again at his own wife, enunciating each word: "Listen carefully, everyone! Yanshen is the one I called back, he's my son, Qiao Shiyun's son! This is an ironclad fact! So from today on, he'll be the young master of the Qiao family. Whether you agree or not, blood ties can't be severed. And starting tomorrow, Yanshen will go to work at Qiao Corporation, taking over my position as CEO. Jinglian, assist your brother properly, and quickly make up for the shortcomings in those projects that were halted midway."
Li Muhua stood by, his face completely distorted.
Qiao Jinglian's face didn't look much better, but the first to exclaim was Qiao Jingting, "Dad, are you...are you crazy? You actually let this man with an unknown background become the CEO of Qiao Corporation?"
"Yan Shen is also your elder brother! What do you mean by 'unknown origin'?" Qiao Shi Yun rebuked in a low voice.
"Dad, but I... he..."
"I didn't tell you about this beforehand, it was my oversight. Originally, I wanted to clarify everything with you today." Qiao Shiyun looked at her daughter's reluctant expression and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, softening her tone, "However, Yanshen came back early, that's why things turned out like this. Now that you all know, we'll be living together from now on, so let's all be more tolerant of each other. The people closest to us in the Qiao family are all here!"
Qiao Shiyun said as she looked around and only then discovered a daughter-in-law hiding in the corner.
"Yan Shen, this is Zi Yun, Jing Lian's wife." He stretched out his hand and beckoned to Zi Yun, introducing, "Zi Yun, from now on you'll call Yan Shen 'older brother' together with Jing Lian."
