Chapter 1674: Qiao Yiyi (4)
Qiao Gang’s hand froze in mid-air the moment he heard those words.
He looked up in astonishment.
Qiao Yiyi, who was standing in the living room, had been contemplating if she should take or dodge the slap.
After all, this was the Lu family home. If Lu Nanze found something amiss, trying to cover it up would be troublesome.
He wasn’t as foolish as the Qiao family members.
But it came as a surprise to her that Lu Nanze would actually intervene.
She stared at him in surprise as he walked down from the second floor. He didn’t look too pleased. He approached Qiao Gang and Dad Qiao, stared at them and asked, “Go on and explain. What are you doing?”
Qiao Gang immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak.
Dad Qiao immediately laughed and lightly hit Qiao Gang’s head, saying, “You silly son! You think this is our home? Fooling around with your sister like that. This is the Lu family home and your sister is married. It’s no longer appropriate to fool around with her like when you were kids, understand?”
The moment he said this, Qiao Yiyi retorted, “Dad, I had never fooled around with my younger brother when we were kids.”
Dad Qiao: …
Qiao Gang: …
Dad Qiao instantly gave a light cough and said, “He is used to fooling around with your younger sister and he thinks he can do the same with you. Don’t take it to heart.”
Qiao Yiyi immediately lowered her head and fell silent.
She was as invisible as air to them.
The atmosphere in the room turned awkward suddenly.
Qiao Gang did not dare to utter a word and could only stare at the ground, afraid that Lu Nanze might do something nasty to him.
Dad Qiao gave an embarra.s.sed laugh and said, “Your brother’s just trying to show his love.”
Lu Nanze inquired, “His love? I don’t think there’s a need for that.”
No one quite knew how to answer this remark.
Dad Qiao could only try to push the responsibility on to her. “It- it was Yiyi trying to show her love.”
Qiao Yiyi kept her head down as she twitched her mouth. She did not speak so not to put Dad Qiao in an even more embarra.s.sing position.
Instantly, no one in the living room was saying anything.
After a while, Lu Nanze finally said, “Is there anything else you want?”
Dad Qiao said, “I- I was just thinking, Qiao Gang is quite old now. And- and—”
“Uh huh, old enough to be getting married?”
Dad Qiao nodded at once and said, “Yes, yes.”
Lu Nanze thought for a moment and then asked, “And which family’s daughter do you have in mind?”
Immediately, Dad Qiao said, “The third daughter of the Li family.”
Lu Nanze thought again for a moment and replied, “I don’t know her much.”
Dad Qiao inquired again, “Mr. Lu knows the Li family?”
Lu Nanze cast his gaze down and replied, “A bit.”
“Well then, do you think you could talk to them about marriage with Qiao Gang?”
When Qiao Yiyi heard this shameless request, she was speechless.
How could Dad Qiao be this shameless? How could someone make such requests like that?
Unexpectedly though, the next moment Lu Nanze said, “I can.”
Qiao Yiyi: …
Why was Lu Nanze acting so out of the norm today?
In line with how he would normally ignore her, he wouldn’t have even partic.i.p.ated in such a conversation.
She looked at the man in astonishment.
Dad Qiao was elated and asked, “For real?”
“Uh huh, I could mention a possible marriage with them, but what about the gift?”
Dad Qiao was stunned and repeated, “The gift?”
“That’s right, I know the head of the Li family and I can do you this favor. But if you don’t have a gift of about tens of million, I don’t think I can approach them.”
