My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

When Lu Xiaoqiao heard that Li Yuxuan and Lin Ziyang were also called away, she raised her eyebrows. No wonder there was no news about Zhou Qizhen regarding the rumors.

He's busy with his company's affairs, so why not tell him about the family matters for now? Lu Xiaoqiao thought about it and decided to wait until he came back to tell him.

"Secretary Ding, I'm fine now. Please keep an eye on Mr. Zhou and make sure he doesn't drink too much during social events."

"Don't worry, Madam! I will take good care of Mr. Zhou."

Lu Xiaoqiao hung up the phone, his fingers still tightly gripping the phone. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart.

She had never heard Zhou Qizhen complain to her about any pressure or difficulties. Although Zhou Qizhen did not take care of everything when they were together, he always put her first and considered her in everything when it came to her.

He would never be perfunctory in what he could do, and he would never stand idly by when he could help. Thinking about every little detail between the two of them, Lu Xiaoqiao missed him so much at this moment.

I want to hide in his arms, tell him how much his aunt and cousin dislike me, and tell him that if he doesn't come back, everyone will think he doesn't want me anymore.

But the more she knew about Zhou Qizhen's good qualities, the more she knew that she couldn't let Zhou Qizhen be distracted by these things now.

Lu Xiaoqiao stood there, lowered her eyes for a moment, and only turned around slowly after her emotions calmed down a little.

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned. She didn't know how long Li Na and Zheng Yan had been standing there without even noticing them.

The two men's eyes were full of gloating, and they did not hide their desire to watch the fun at all. It seemed as if they could see Lu Xiaoqiao's embarrassment in the next second and turn it into a topic of conversation after dinner.

Li Na was so happy at that moment! The jealousy and resentment she had been accumulating since the Chinese New Year was finally being released.

So what if you are rich or a CEO? What is not yours will never belong to you.

She looked at Lu Xiaoqiao's slightly red eyes and couldn't help but think of the scene a few days ago when Lu Xiaoqiao ran into her and Sun Han arguing on the phone.

What a reversal of fortune!

Zheng Yan said sarcastically, "Lu Xiaoqiao, who are you calling? President Jiang Heng? It's a pity that he's trying so hard to avoid you that he even asked his secretary to answer the phone for him, and you're so ignorant as to move forward."

Lu Xiaoqiao has also been feeling a little unwell these past two days, and thought that she would not gain the upper hand if she fought, otherwise she would really want to go up and teach her a lesson on how to behave.

Ignoring their deliberate provocations, she went down the stairs and prepared to open the door to leave. Seeing her leaving, Li Na spoke up, "What did I say? You've been dumped, haven't you? Your glory days are over!"

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't say a word. What responded to Li Na was the sound of the fire escape door being slammed shut.

Li Na glared at the closed iron door.

"Humph! You really deserve it. It would have been better to keep a low profile in the beginning. You had to show off and make such a fuss. You couldn't even stop it, and you even brought it back home. Now I wonder how your parents can put their faces."

Lu Xiaoqiao had just sat down on the chair when she received a call from Zhang Minzhi. Lu Xiaoqiao explained to her for a long time that there was nothing wrong between her and Zhou Qizhen.

Zhang Minzhi didn't believe it. In the end, she really didn't want to say anything more, so she told her aunt that she and Zhou Qizhen had already obtained their marriage certificate.

Zhang Minzhi was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Lu Xiaoqiao said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Auntie. I didn't mean to hide this from you. It's just that there are too many factors involved, so we decided to wait until after May Day before making it public."

Zhang Minzhi, who had come to her senses, asked in disbelief, "You didn't lie to me?"

Lu Xiaoqiao sighed: "I'll send you the marriage certificate photo later."

"No, then, your parents don't know about this! You didn't get the marriage certificate with him secretly, did you?"

"Aunt, how is that possible? How can I get it without my household registration? Don't worry, my parents know everything."

Zhang Minzhi felt relieved: "That's good. What's the matter with this rumor? It seems so convincing."

Lu Xiaoqiao blinked her eyelashes: "This matter is a bit complicated, let him come back in a couple of days and let him solve it himself!"

"I'm glad you two are okay. I was worried about you, afraid you'd be wronged alone. That kind of family..."

Zhang Minzhi did not continue speaking, but how could Lu Xiaoqiao understand what she meant? What her aunt was worried about was indeed what she was facing now. Now she was not liked by his relatives!

"Don't worry, auntie. I can do it. Zhou Qizhen won't let me suffer any injustice."

"That's good. If you have any questions, be sure to call Auntie."

"Ah."

……

Two more days passed.

Not only did Lu Xiaoqiao's discomfort not improve, it became even worse.

I even asked for leave directly from the company's human resources department today.

Lin Lin thought she was talking about the company rumors and wanted to call Zhou Qizhen, but she stopped her.

"It's really not because of that. I'm probably just tired."

Lin Lin suggested, "Sister Jia and I are going to a company today to do some business. The mall next door happens to be the one my uncle just opened. How about I take you shopping to relax?"

Lu Xiaoqiao thought about it and felt that staying at home was not a good idea. In fact, she also felt that she was uncomfortable because she was not feeling well.

When they arrived at the place, Lin Lin and Zhao Jia went to the office building next door first, leaving Lu Xiaoqiao to wander around here alone, and then they would come to find her later.

"Don't worry! I'm not a child. You two can do your own things. I'll go shopping by myself first."

Lu Xiaoqiao was wandering around the mall alone, bored. She had no time and no money in her card, but she just loved shopping.

How come those who have money and free time now don’t feel like shopping anymore?

I found a milk tea shop, ordered a cup of milk tea and sat there browsing my phone. Lin Lin and Zhao Jia would still need about an hour to finish, so I could treat them to lunch by then.

Just as I was laughing uncontrollably at a puppy video, I saw a person sitting in the seat opposite me.

Lu Xiaoqiao looked up in surprise.

Tang Qian laughed and said, "Why are you so surprised? Are you surprised to see me, or to see me buying milk tea, or are you surprised to see me appear on your husband's territory?"

After he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoqiao was shocked this time: "How did you know?"

Tang Qian sneered: "Ask your husband. I don't know what you like about him. Not only is he petty, but he also likes to complain."

Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "How did he offend you again?"

When Tang Qian saw that he smiled from the heart when he mentioned Zhou Qizhen, he suddenly felt relieved.

As long as she was happy, he would transform this relationship that died before it even saw the light into something else.

"Xiao Qiao, I'll take you as my sister!"

Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then took a sip of the milk tea and said with a smile, "That depends on whether you want to be my brother or Zhou Qizheng's brother."
