Qiao Yichen held the two pieces of paper tightly in his hands. His ten fingers turned white from the force and his expression became extremely gloomy.

All the records above are about Ye Xiaolang's love history. From college to work, he had more than ten relationships, several of which were during college alone.

What is even more shocking is that Ye Xiaolang had actually been in a relationship with a man who was nearly 50 years old, and they had a very close relationship.

They are all men, so how could Qiao Yicheng not understand what this means?

Ye Xiaolang had never told her about these things. She only told him that she had a boyfriend when she was in college, but that was many years ago.

He didn't mind this. After all, everyone has some unpleasant memories. He himself had a first love, but that kind of thing didn't happen.

If Ye Xiaolang had one or two relationships, he would still be able to accept it. After all, this is no longer a feudal society. He has been to college and has a relatively open mind.

But when he saw that Ye Xiaolang had more than ten relationships, and some of them were disgusting, he couldn't stand it.

To be precise, 90% of men can't stand this situation.

"I still don't quite believe it, Ju'an, are these..."

Wen Ju'an interrupted, "Are you trying to say that I made all this up? Brother Yicheng, you are so smart, you should understand that I don't need to do that. If you are really happy, I will not destroy your happiness. But this Ye Xiaolang, she is really not suitable for you. You will not be happy with her."

"Because she not only deceived you emotionally, but her family is also more complicated than you can imagine, Brother Yicheng."

Qiao Yicheng asked in a stiff tone: "What happened to her family?"

"In order to get her parents to support her college education, Ye Xiaolang promised that she would pay for her brother's wedding gift and house in the future. Brother Yicheng, if you marry her, the bill will fall on you. The wedding gift may not be a big deal and you can pay it with a little effort, but the house is different. If her brother wants to buy a house in a good city, it will be a bottomless pit and you can't afford it."

Hearing this, Qiao Yicheng's face turned even darker. He certainly knew how valuable a house was. He himself didn't even dare to think about buying a house, so how could he be willing to buy one for others?

And it's probably not just about the bride price and the house. In the future, Ye Xiaolang's natal family will probably have endless troubles.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yicheng shuddered in her heart. She had never thought that things would turn out like this.

If these are all true, then should his marriage to Ye Xiaolang really continue?

In fact, he originally wanted to get the marriage certificate with Ye Xiaolang before getting married, but the household registration book was controlled by Qiao Zuwang. Qiao Zuwang was unwilling to give the household registration book to him before seeing the benefits, so he could only hold a wedding banquet with Ye Xiaolang first and then get the marriage certificate.

"Brother Yicheng, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, when you meet Ye Xiaolang's parents later, they will definitely tell you about this matter. Then you will know whether it is true or not."

The shock to Qiao Yicheng was really too great. Ye Xiaolang said that he did not ask for a dowry, but in fact he also paid a dowry, and Ye Xiaolang also said that there would be no follow-up in the future.

But he didn't expect that all this might be a lie. He couldn't afford the gift and house for her brother's future marriage.

However, the matter has not been confirmed yet, and he still holds a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that this may not be true.

While he was hesitating, Ye Xiaolang suddenly walked out of the banquet hall and looked at them with a smile.

"Yicheng, aren't you finished yet?"

Wen Ju'an said first: "That's all. Brother Yicheng, Sister Xiaolang, I'll go in first."

After Wen Ju'an left, Ye Xiaolang looked at Qiao Yicheng, who looked unhappy, and asked, "Yicheng, what's wrong with you? You don't look too well. Did she say anything to you?"

Qiao Yicheng looked at the person lying beside him and suddenly felt that she was a stranger. He forced a smile.

"I'm fine. Aren't your parents here yet?"

Originally, he wanted to ask Zhou Chen to pick up Ye Xiaolang's parents, but how could Zhou Chen do such a thing? He immediately declined, saying that he had important things to do. However, he also found a driver for Qiao Yicheng and asked the driver to pick them up.

Ye Xiaolang noticed the changes in Qiao Yicheng, and she felt a little gloomy.

"It should be soon. Isn't it someone arranged by your brother-in-law Zhou Chen?"

As they were talking, Zhou Chen suddenly came out.

"Yicheng, the driver just called me and said that he has dropped your father-in-law and mother-in-law off at the hotel entrance and asked you to pick them up."

Qiao Yicheng and Ye Xiaolang were both shocked, "Okay, let's go and pick it up now."

Then the two of them quickly came to the entrance of Jinling Hotel and saw an old couple standing at the gate.

Seeing the old couple, Qiao Yicheng and Ye Xiaolang's faces changed slightly.

Because the old couple looked dusty and shabby, the man had a messy beard and the woman had messy hair, and it was obvious at a glance that they had never dressed up.

You have to know that today is their daughter's wedding day. Even if they have come from far away, they shouldn't act like this. It feels like they did it on purpose.

"Dad, Mom, why did you come just now?"

Ye Xiaolang went forward and Qiao Yicheng followed closely behind.

Father Ye coughed dryly and said, "It can't be helped. The road is not easy to walk on. I'm not late."

As he said that, he looked at Qiao Yicheng with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "You must be Qiao Yicheng."

"Uncle, aunt, hello, I am Qiao Yicheng. I am sorry to trouble you to make this trip. It is really hard for you."

Qiao Yicheng felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say. After all, these two were his elders. But when he thought about what Wen Ju'an had just said to him, he felt even worse.

"Dad, Mom, let's go in. Yicheng's relatives are here and are waiting for you."

Ye Xiaolang invited the two elders to walk into Jinling Hotel. If it wasn't for the wedding, the two elders had to be present, otherwise, she didn't want to contact them at all.

Ever since she started working, whenever these two elders contacted her, they either wanted money or asked her to buy something. Her salary was not enough for herself, and she still had to take care of them. She had had enough of this kind of life.

When Qiao Yicheng led Ye Xiaolang's parents into the banquet hall, all the relatives and friends of the Qiao family looked at the old couple in astonishment, and their eyes were self-evident.

As for Qiao Zuwang, his expression was even uglier at this moment.

Although he was unhappy with his eldest son's disrespect for him, he still gave his eldest son enough face when he got married. He dressed himself neatly, put on the best clothes, and behaved in the most decent way.

As a result, not only did the in-laws only show up with two people, they also had several tables of people waiting. The most important thing was that they looked so tired and sloppy, they didn't look like they were going to attend their daughter's wedding banquet.

This is too disrespectful.

Qiao Yicheng naturally saw his father's expression. He laughed and said, "Dad, these are Xiaolang's parents, uncle, aunt, and this is my father."

"Hello, in-laws." Ye Xiaolang's parents greeted them, but they looked very casual, without any festive feeling at all.

Qiao Zuwang was very unhappy and replied in a stiff tone: "Hello, relatives, is the road in Jinling so congested?"

Father Ye laughed and said, "It is a bit congested. After all, it is a big city. It's my first time here, so it's too unfamiliar."

"Really? Then you have to come more often in the future," said Qiao Zuwang.

Second aunt Wei Shufang pushed Qiao Zuwang and winked at him, indicating that today was Yicheng's wedding banquet and he should not cause trouble. Only then did she let Qiao Zuwang sit down.

Next, Ye's father and mother took out some of their local specialties and gave them to Qiao Yicheng, including vegetables, chickens, ducks, etc. This made Qiao Zuwang's face even uglier.

If relatives are visiting, it is normal and polite to bring these things with you.

But this time, Ye's father and mother were giving gifts in return, so they only brought these things? How many dollars in total?

Then they took out the wedding gifts for the two, which turned out to be two pillowcases, which really shocked everyone.

Even Zhou Chen was stunned. These two pillowcases looked like they were bought from a roadside stall. They were extremely tacky and pink in color. You could have just bought a bright red one.

Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble?

Qiao Zuwang was so angry that he was sarcastic again. His face was very dark. If there were no relatives and friends present, he would probably have lost his temper on the spot.

Qiao Yicheng's face also looked very ugly. He was really embarrassed right now. When he thought about what Wen Ju'an had just said to him, he felt even more uncomfortable. He didn't even try to defend Ye's father and mother. He was full of worries.

Just as the meal was about to start, Ye's father and mother were seen whispering, and then Ye's father stood up.

"Yicheng, I have something to tell you first, let's go out and talk."

When Qiao Yicheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but think of what Wen Ju'an had just mentioned. Could it be that Mr. and Mrs. Ye really wanted to say it?

So he patiently walked outside with Ye's father.

As expected, Ye's father mentioned the bride price, his son's marriage, and buying a house.

The more Qiao Yicheng listened, the uglier his expression became, and the anger in his heart was about to burst out uncontrollably.

"Yicheng, this is what Xiaolang promised us. Since you are going to marry Xiaolang, this naturally has something to do with you. Take a look at this. This is the letter of guarantee that Xiaolang wrote back then. It also has her signature and fingerprints on it."

Qiao Yicheng's face turned pale as he opened the envelope, took out the letter of guarantee inside, and took a closer look. It was exactly as Ye's father had said.

Father Ye continued, "Housing reform is about to start, and we can't afford to buy a new house. If we can't buy a new house, her brother won't be able to get married. So, if Xiaolang doesn't care, who will? He's her own brother after all."

Qiao Yicheng lowered his head and silently put the letter of guarantee back into the envelope.

Seeing Qiao Yicheng didn't say anything, Ye's father thought he didn't believe it, and immediately said, "If you don't believe it, I'll call her out right now and let her tell you in person."

Qiao Yicheng raised his head with an ambiguous expression, and suddenly said, "Okay, then please call her out, uncle."

If Wen Ju'an had not shown him the messages and said those words in advance, after hearing what Ye's father said, he would probably have kept quiet and agreed to Ye's father's request in order to continue the wedding.

However, the resentment that had been accumulating since just now, coupled with the fact that he thought about everything Wen Ju'an had done for him and compared it with Ye Xiaolang's family, he suddenly felt unbalanced.

When Mr. Ye heard what Qiao Yicheng said, he was stunned. He originally thought that Qiao Yicheng would agree directly. After all, this was not a glorious thing. An intellectual like Qiao Yicheng who had a good unit would definitely not want to lose face.

But he didn't expect Qiao Yicheng to be so decisive.

But he reacted quickly, "Okay, wait, I'll go call Xiao Lang now."

Then he walked into the banquet hall. Ye Xiaolang was looking at the door worriedly at this time. When she saw her father coming and Qiao Yicheng didn't come back, she immediately felt something was wrong.

"Xiao Lang, come out first. I have something to tell you and Yicheng."

Ye Xiaolang asked nervously, "Dad, is there anything we can't talk about after the banquet?"

Father Ye said in a tough tone: "No, I have to tell you now. Come out and explain it to Yicheng."

Having said that, he forcibly dragged Ye Xiaolang out. He didn't care how embarrassed his actions would make his daughter.

Ye's father's behavior made the originally joyous banquet hall suddenly noisy. Everyone looked at the door in surprise, not knowing what had happened.

Qiao Zuwang angrily slammed his wine glass on the table, looked in the direction of Ye's mother, and shouted loudly: "What kind of thing is this?"

Wei Shufang quickly comforted him, "Brother-in-law, don't make things more complicated. I was just talking."

"What are you talking about? Why are you saying it to our face? Do you think our betrothal gift is not enough and you want to take this opportunity to blackmail us?"

Qiao Zuwang, who was unhappy, also started to act rashly. He didn't care that Ye's mother was still on the table and started to scold her directly.

Mother Ye's face instantly became very embarrassed, and she stood up suddenly: "I'll go out and see them."

Her departure made Qiao Zuwang feel even more so. If not, why didn't you refute it but hide instead?

Not only Qiao Zuwang, but other relatives and friends also felt that something was wrong, and they were afraid that something bad would happen at the wedding banquet.

If there weren't so many concerns, someone would have run to the corner to eavesdrop.

Chapter 514: Wen Ju'an's Outrageous Actions

Wen Qinghua and Wen Ju'an sat together. Wen Qinghua whispered to his niece, "Ju'an, have you really thought it through? If something really happens later, your mother will probably be furious if you do that."

Wen Ju'an looked calm and said seriously, "I have thought about it. I can't always live under my mother's control. Brother Yicheng is also a filial person. If we are together, he will definitely be filial to my mother."

Wen Qinghua nodded. Although Wen Ju'an's mother was his biological sister, he actually didn't quite agree with his sister's behavior.

It's a good thing to care about your daughter, but it's really too much to control her like that.

Ye Xiaolang followed her father to the corridor and saw Qiao Yichen standing there with a grim expression. When he saw her coming, he looked at her with complicated eyes.

"Xiao Lang, come and talk to Yicheng. Was it you who promised to pay for your brother's wedding gift and house, and wrote a letter of guarantee? I said it all, but Yicheng didn't believe it. Go and explain it to him."

Father Ye didn't say any unnecessary words and just said what he wanted to say directly, leaving no room for Ye Xiaolang to relax.

When Ye Xiaolang heard her father's words, her face changed drastically. She thought her father wanted her to come over for something, but she didn't expect it was this.

"Dad, why did you tell Yicheng about this? This has nothing to do with him."

"Why is it okay? He wants to marry you, so you two are husband and wife. You should give him the money together. Xiao Lang, the house at home is urgent. You two must solve this problem as soon as possible today."

Ye Xiaolang looked unhappy. She married Qiao Yicheng because she wanted to work hard with him, then go abroad to study and get away from the affairs at home.

But she didn't expect that on the wedding day, her parents showed no mercy at all and directly brought up the matter in a threatening manner.

At this time, Ye's mother also came out. She also heard what had just been said and looked fierce.

"Xiao Lang, when you were in college, we sold everything we had to support you. Now that you're getting married, do you want to regret it?"

Father Ye said, "You can't go back on your word. We have a letter of guarantee in our hands. If you dare to go back on your word, we will sue you."

Ye Xiaolang was so angry that her whole body was shaking. These were her parents. At this moment, there was no parental love at all.

"Dad, Mom, I didn't say I didn't recognize you, but today is my big day, let's talk about this later, okay?"

"No, we have to make this decision today, right now."

Father Ye did not give in at all and said to Qiao Yicheng, "Son-in-law, you heard it too. Xiao Lang admitted it."
