Ye Xiaolang quickly explained to Qiao Yicheng: "Yicheng, this matter is not what you think."
Qiao Yicheng ignored her and asked Ye's father and mother, "Uncle, aunt, from what you said, if I don't agree to pay now, you won't let us get married?"
Ye's father and mother nodded at the same time and said, "That's right, you must give an answer now, otherwise if you don't admit it in the future, what will happen to Xiaolang's house?"
Ye Xiaolang asked excitedly: "Dad, Mom, is my marriage less important than my brother's house?"
Mother Ye said, "That's different. How can a daughter be the same as a son? If you marry her off, it's like spilled water. Our son will live with us for the rest of his life, so you must solve the problem of the house. This is also the promise you made to us back then."
Ye Xiaolang's face turned blue with anger. She knew that if she continued like this, the situation would become more and more serious, so she looked to Qiao Yicheng for help.
"Yichen, I'm sorry, how about we just agree to it first? Don't worry, I will compensate you for this money later."
Qiao Yicheng's face darkened, and he asked back, "Buying a new house requires a lot of money. I've only been working for a year. Do you think I can have that much money?"
Ye Xiaolang suggested: "Your friend, that is, your brother-in-law, his family is very rich, right? You can borrow some money from him first, and then pay him back when we have money."
"You want me to go to Zhou Chen to borrow money?"
Qiao Yicheng's voice changed. He and Zhou Chen had known each other for so many years. Although he knew that Zhou Chen was very rich, even when he was in the most difficult time, he never asked Zhou Chen to borrow a penny.
Now, in order to fulfill his original promise, Ye Xiaolang actually asked him to borrow money from Zhou Chen to help her solve the problem, and he said it as if it was a matter of course.
They haven't even gotten married yet. If they are married, won't it be more natural for her to do so?
Qiao Yicheng felt a strong sense of disgust in his heart.
Ye Xiaolang saw Qiao Yicheng's expression and was shocked. "Yicheng, you are not unwilling to help me, are you? We are already married, do we still need to separate?"
Qiao Yicheng did not answer directly, but asked: "Xiao Lang, I want to ask, if I give money to your brother and buy a new house this time, will they never come to us for money again in the future?"
"Qiao Yicheng, what do you mean by this?" Ye Xiaolang asked angrily.
Qiao Yicheng ignored her and turned to ask Ye's father and mother: "Uncle, aunt, you heard what I said. Is it true that if I give you money this time, you will never come to us for money again to ask us to do something?"
Mother Ye wanted to speak, but Father Ye held her back and said with a smile, "Of course, Yicheng, we are a family. As long as you buy a house for Xiaolang and let him get married, we will definitely not bother you in the future."
After hearing this, Qiao Yicheng sneered in his heart. He was not stupid and he did not believe a word that Ye's father said.
At this moment, Qiao Zuwang, who couldn't wait any longer in the banquet hall, walked out, followed by a group of people.
"Qiao Yicheng, have you guys reached an agreement? The food is getting cold. If you don't come, the banquet will be over."
Qiao Zuwang walked over muttering to himself, and found that his son, his "future daughter-in-law", and his in-laws all looked unhappy.
"What's the matter? My dear relatives, why don't you let Yicheng and his family sit at the table? What do you mean by that? Do you think the betrothal gift is not enough and want more?"
After hearing this, Ye's father and mother looked unhappy. Ye's mother couldn't help but said, "We are not that kind of people. We want Xiaolang to fulfill her promise."
"Promise? What kind of guarantee? Do you have to say it at this time?" Qiao Zuwang looked at Qiao Yicheng and asked.
Qiao Yicheng didn't want to talk at all, Ye Xiaolang was too embarrassed to speak, but Ye's father and mother had no scruples.
"Of course, it's to buy a house for Xiaolang's brother to get married. This is what Xiaolang promised. There is also a letter of guarantee. Please take a look at it, in-law."
In order to get the money, Ye's father didn't care about anything else. Anyway, he didn't plan to have any contact with Qiao Zuwang in the future, so he directly handed the letter of guarantee to Qiao Zuwang, which made Ye Xiaolang even more angry.
Qiao Zuwang was also literate, and he quickly finished reading the contents of the letter of guarantee. His eyes widened, and he held the letter of guarantee in both hands, shaking and trembling constantly.
"What is this? What is this?"
Qiao Zuwang first glared at Ye Xiaolang fiercely, then looked at Qiao Yicheng and asked loudly: "Qiao Yicheng, I originally thought you were the most promising one in our Qiao family, but look at what you are doing now? You are marrying a wife, not a whole family, and you are helping her brother get the wedding gift and buy a house. Why don't you go to their house and be a son-in-law?"
Qiao Zuwang's voice was very loud, and people in the banquet hall were walking out in groups of three or four, so they all heard what he said.
The expressions of the people present became very complicated, and many of them looked at Qiao Yicheng and Ye Xiaolang with strange eyes.
Qiao Simei couldn't help but exclaimed, "What? They want my eldest brother to buy a house for her younger brother to get married. Is this family crazy? Can my eldest brother agree to such a thing?"
"Simei, please stop talking."
Qiao Sanli yelled at Qiao Simei angrily. Qiao Simei opened her mouth to refute, but after thinking about it, she decided not to say anything.
When Qiao Yicheng saw Qiao Zuwang exposing his shortcomings in front of so many people, his face turned red with anger. He was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, but now he had lost all his face.
"I don't need you to take care of my own business."
Qiao Zuwang also said angrily: "I am your father, why can't I control you, Qiao Yicheng, you are really capable, how long have you been working, and you dare to buy a house for others? I am still homeless, why don't you think of buying a house for me?"
Qiao Yicheng: "You are homeless, and that's your own fault."
"Qiao Yicheng, I think you are really going to make a scene. I have made it clear to you today. If you dare to give them money, don't say you are my son in the future. I don't have a shameful son like you."
The reason why Qiao Zuwang was so angry, besides thinking that this kind of thing was shameful in itself, was that if Qiao Yicheng gave all the money to the other side, there would be no money left for him. How could he agree to it?
No one expected that Ye's father and mother would also explode at this time, and shouted loudly: "Don't agree? If you don't agree, don't even think about getting married today."
Qiao Zuwang yelled at him, "If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. My son is a graduate student and a reporter for a TV station. He can find a wife anywhere. He doesn't need to look for girls like you."
Since his own interests are involved, he is not going to save any face at all.
"Qiao Yicheng, I'm going to make this clear today. If you agree, we'll sever our ties and you can change your last name to Ye instead of Qiao."
Qiao Yicheng's eyes turned red with anger. At this moment, Qiao Sanli suddenly ran over.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Brother, don't listen to my nonsense."
He had already lost all face. If it weren't for his sense of responsibility, Qiao Yicheng would probably have left on the spot.
Seeing that the money for the house was about to go down the drain, Ye's father and mother could no longer bear it, and immediately asked Ye Xiaolang: "Xiaolang, you tell me, this is what you promised us, you tell me what to do, are you going to pay for it?"
Even a scheming woman like Ye Xiaolang felt humiliated at this moment.
The onlookers and strange looks from the people around her, Qiao Zuwang's scolding, and her parents' questioning made her feel extremely embarrassed, but she still held out a glimmer of hope.
"Qiao Yicheng, today is our wedding day. I just want to ask you one question: do you still want to get married?"
"Getting married? Bullshit."
Qiao Zuwang burst into curses.
Qiao Yicheng also looked at Ye Xiaolang and asked again: "If I say I want to get married, do you have to agree to your parents' conditions? Otherwise, you won't marry me?"
Ye Xiaolang gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I told you that I won't let you give this money for nothing. I will compensate you in the future."
Qiao Yicheng smiled bitterly in disappointment and slowly shook his head, "I'm sorry. Although I'm stupid, I'm not a fool. Money is not important to me, but I'm really disappointed with your attitude."
Ye Xiaolang closed her eyes in pain, but opened them again the next moment and took off her red dress.
"Okay, Qiao Yicheng, from now on, we'll go our separate ways and never have any contact with each other again."
After saying that, she left without caring about her parents.
"Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang."
Ye's father and mother were anxious and wanted to chase after him, but Ye's mother suddenly said, "Since you don't want to get married, we have to take the things with us."
Afterwards, under the strange gazes of the crowd, the two packed up all the things they had just taken out and left Jinling Hotel.
"What's this called?"
Qiao Yicheng's second aunt Wei Shufang was so angry that she burst into tears and spoke up for her nephew.
Qiao Yicheng held back his tears and looked at his relatives and friends around him.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I made you come here for nothing today. I..."
But before he could say anything, a voice interrupted him.
"Brother Yicheng, I am willing to marry you."
Wen Ju'an suddenly walked towards Qiao Yicheng with a firm tone and serious expression, which stunned Qiao Yicheng and the people around him.
"Igan, you?"
Wen Ju'an said: "Brother Yicheng, today is your big day. If you don't want to marry Ye Xiaolang, then are you willing to marry me?"
Qiao Yicheng was so moved by Wen Ju'an's words that he didn't know what to say. The past few minutes were the most embarrassing moments in his life.
But Wen Ju'an didn't care at all. She even said she wanted to marry him, which touched his heart and made him deeply moved.
"Ju'an, stop talking nonsense. I know you want to comfort me, but..."
"No, Yicheng brother, I'm serious. I don't need a later date. Today, right now, at this banquet, we're getting married."
"Igan, you?"
Qiao Yicheng was stunned and looked at Wen Ju'an in disbelief. He never expected that Wen Ju'an would say such a thing.
"I'm not kidding, Brother Yicheng, I've thought it through clearly. I don't want to lose you. If you're willing to marry me, you can do it now."
As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Zuwang again.
"Uncle, my name is Wen Ju'an, and I am Yicheng's ex-girlfriend. I want to marry Yicheng. I don't need anything else, as long as I can be with Yicheng."
"Ah? Girl, are you really not kidding?"
Qiao Zuwang was also stunned. This little girl looked adorable. When had his eldest son ever dated this girl?
"No, uncle, I'm serious. My uncle is here today, and my father is outside. If you can agree to my marriage with Brother Yicheng, we can continue the banquet now."
Wen Ju'an's expression was very serious. This was not a whim but the result of careful consideration. Although it sounded ridiculous, she did not care about other people's opinions.
This sudden action also gave Zhou Chenlei a lot of shock.
He had long seen that Wen Ju'an came prepared today, but he didn't expect that he had made such a preparation.
Marriage is sacred and the most important thing for a woman. He never expected that Wen Ju'an could accept such a thing.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 515: Going Abroad, Nobel Prize, Returning Home
Zhou Chen could only use one sentence to describe what happened today.
I guessed the beginning, but not the end.
No one should underestimate it, because once the operation is started, it may really be earth-shattering.
Qiao Yicheng hesitated for a while, but finally made a choice. The wedding went on, but the person who attended was replaced by Wen Ju'an.
Today's wedding banquet will definitely be an unforgettable memory for all the guests attending. Such a dramatic development will never happen again in a lifetime.
Even though many days have passed, the events of that day are still widely talked about in Shamao Lane.
The already famous Qiao family became even more famous, and Qiao Yicheng also became very famous on TV because of this incident. No one knew how many times he had been talked about.
Although the process of this incident was very disgraceful, it was not a bad thing for Qiao Yicheng. He did not fall into Ye Xiaolang's mud pit and married his former dream goddess.
From Zhou Chen's perspective, he wasn't sure whether Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an could live a good life in the future, but compared to the days with Ye Xiaolang in the plot, it shouldn't be like that.
Qiao Yicheng did not marry Ye Xiaolang, but married Wen Ju'an instead. This made Zhou Chen very satisfied. It showed that he had changed Qiao Yicheng's future and completed Qiao Yicheng's side quest.
After finishing Qiao Yicheng's wedding, Zhou Chen started to prepare for his engagement with Qiao Sanli.
Qiao Zuwang had already agreed to his engagement with Qiao Sanli, but he put forward many requirements. The most important one was that the money had to be in place, that is, the engagement gift.
This money was in Qiao Zuwang's pocket and there was a high probability that it would never come out. However, there was no need for Zhou Chen to negotiate, as Qiao Sanli talked to Qiao Zuwang herself.
Qiao Sanli was very clear about her family's situation. Being able to be with Zhou Chen was considered marrying above her station, but she also had her own ambitions. She didn't want to be looked down upon by Zhou Chen's parents before she even got married, so she didn't want much of a deposit, she just wanted to save face.
When Qiao Zuwang learned of his daughter's thoughts, he was naturally very angry and scolded Qiao Sanli for being ungrateful and unworthy of her for raising him for so many years.
But Qiao Sanli's attitude was very firm. If you want money, I can give it to you when I get a job in the future, but if you want to ask for money from Zhou Chen's family, that's impossible.
Of course Qiao Zuwang disagreed, but Qiao Sanli brought up her sister-in-law Wen Ju'an and said that Wen Ju'an didn't ask for a penny, so why should she give her money?
Qiao Zuwang had nothing to say, so he could only make specious arguments, saying that the situation was different, Zhou Chen's family was rich, and giving her money meant they valued her or something. Anyway, he wanted money, and it had to be handed over to him.
The two argued for a long time, and finally Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang tried to persuade them, and finally the two reached a tacit understanding.
The reason for the rush to get engaged is that Zhou Chen has made the decision to study abroad and come back in two years.
In the end, Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli got engaged successfully. Since it was just an engagement, there was no big ceremony. The relatives of the two families just got together, had a meal, and gave each other gifts, and that was considered the engagement.
Summer came in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Chen was ready to go abroad.
Before leaving, Zhou Chen told Qiao Sanli, "Sanli, I am the only son of my parents. I won't be back for two years. You have to help me take care of my parents."
Qiao Sanli's eyes were red. She was reluctant to let Zhou Chen leave, but she also didn't want to become a hindrance to Zhou Chen.
"Don't worry, I will treat you as my biological parents. You are alone abroad, so you must take good care of yourself."
Zhou Chen smiled and comforted her: "Being abroad is not as scary as you think. What's more, I am so powerful that even if I go abroad, foreigners will be afraid of me and no one can bully me."
"When you arrive in a foreign country, you are unfamiliar with the place, so you must keep a low profile and don't cause trouble. If you can't get used to the food there, find a Chinese restaurant, and..."
