Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1118 - 1096: Secret Marriage
Nie Yixiao’s eyes slowly darkened, like the twilight merging into night, his thin lips curled into a mocking smile: "Even if I am willing, what about you? Are you truly willing to let a girl with a dirty background and poor family become the daughter-in-law of the Ning Family? Even if you are willing, what will people outside say? Her brother, and those uncles and aunts from the Longding Society, all have criminal records and have done countless illegal businesses! It’s truly ridiculous! The respectable and prestigious Ning Family in the political sphere is marrying into a shady mafia gang... By then, it’s not just the face of the Ning Family that’s lost; I’m afraid even your reputation, official position, and status will be affected!"
Ning Xiaochuan had already considered this point earlier, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Don’t worry, I just discussed it with her brother. Qiao Zonghan wants nothing more than for you to marry his sister; the ceremony and extravagance are not important, it’s enough that you both live well together. If you get married, keep it low-key for now, don’t announce it, don’t publish it in the newspapers, and don’t hold a banquet, just get the certificate. Aside from the Ning Family members, outsiders won’t know that you and Qiao Yongyong are married."
"Are you talking about a hidden marriage?" Nie Yixiao frowned slightly.
"Yes." Ning Xiaochuan seized the opportunity, looking expectantly at his contemplative son: "So? Yixiao, have you thought it over?"
Nie Yixiao was both angry and amused: "There’s no need to consider; I’ve said no, impossible." Saying that, he turned and walked out of the study.
The door swung open, revealing Ning Duoduo standing dazed at the entrance!
She had heard the conversation between father and son, and her face was now filled with shock.
Oh my God, the girl just sent to the Ning Family and is now lying in Brother’s room, is Qiao Yongyong? 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
And, Dad actually wants Brother to marry that Qiao Yongyong?
Nie Yixiao exuded a cold aura, ignored Ning Duoduo, and passed by her, returning to his room.
Ning Duoduo snapped out of her daze, dashed into her father’s study: "Dad, you’re letting that Miss Qiao stay in our house and letting Brother marry her? Are you kidding?"
She always spoke gently, especially in front of Ning Xiaochuan, but today’s tone was anxious because she was too shocked!
Ning Xiaochuan knew his daughter had overheard, and was somewhat angry: "Who told you to eavesdrop at the door!"
He had never scolded Ning Duoduo before, yet now his face was extremely unpleasant!
Ning Duoduo was startled by his shout.
At that moment, hurried footsteps came from the doorway, Wu Huiyun also came upstairs, seeing her husband blaming Ning Duoduo, she hurried in to calm things down:
"Xiaochuan, Duoduo wasn’t intentional, the engagement ceremony was canceled so abruptly, and as soon as we came back, Aunt Xia said a strange girl arrived, and you don’t explain clearly, how could Duoduo not be anxious?"
Ning Xiaochuan’s expression relaxed a bit at this, no longer blaming his daughter, but still frowned: "Fine, this matter should be told to you sooner or later anyway. Since you’re all here now, I’ll make things clear. Duoduo overheard it just now, this Qiao Yongyong will stay at the Ning Family, and after a while, I will let Yixiao marry her."
Ning Duoduo’s emotions flared up again: "That Qiao Yongyong is a mafia girl; her brother and the people from her society are all not clean. How can the Ning Family associate with her?"
Has Dad gone mad? Or has he been bewitched by the Qiao Family?
Although she was inexplicably upset seeing Brother get engaged to Miss Gan so quickly, she definitely didn’t want to see Brother marry a girl of such a background.
Isn’t this a joke?
The Ning Family, one of the most powerful political families in Beijing, is marrying into a mafia family?
If word gets out, wouldn’t people laugh until their teeth fall out?
Wu Huiyun also gasped: "Xiaochuan, how can such a girl be the daughter-in-law of the Ning Family? I saw you receive a call at the engagement banquet, it was from the Qiao Family, right? What did the Qiao Family say to make you make such a decision?"
"Enough, my decision won’t change. I just told Yixiao; even if they marry, it won’t be notified to the outside world, they will get their certificate quietly, outsiders won’t jeer at the Ning Family, won’t use Qiao Yongyong’s background against us, nor harm the Ning Family’s reputation. But at home, Qiao Yongyong will be our Ning Family’s daughter-in-law, the young lady." Ning Xiaochuan’s resolve was set, he waved grandly, not allowing his wife and daughter to continue opposing.
Mother and daughter looked at each other, knowing well Ning Xiaochuan’s unyielding character, they had to reluctantly leave.
As they went downstairs, Ning Duoduo couldn’t hold back her anger anymore: "Has Dad lost his mind? How can he let that girl from the Qiao Family marry Brother? It’s unacceptable, Ning Family can’t let such a woman in the door. A girl with such a background, she’s not even worthy to carry my shoes. To live under the same roof with such a delinquent girl and call her sister-in-law, I won’t do it! Mom, you have to keep persuading Dad!"
Wu Huiyun was helpless: "Didn’t you see how determined your father is? He even dared to offend the Gan Family, surely he has already made up his mind!"
Ning Duoduo was disappointed and annoyed: "Mom, Dad cherishes his reputation the most, being a high official in Beijing, it’s impossible for him to have connections with the Qiao Family, not to mention any friendship. Do you think Dad has some leverage held by the Qiao Family, forcing him to agree to marry into the Qiao Family?"
Wu Huiyun contemplated for a while: "Your father’s current status, how many people can threaten him? It doesn’t seem likely. Alright, regardless of what’s forcing your father, since he’s decided, we can’t change it. Don’t ask too much, it would only make him angry, and wouldn’t it be us mother and daughter who suffer?"
Ning Duoduo then fell silent, but the doubts in her heart grew larger. Why, why would Dad cancel the engagement with the Gan Family for that girl, allowing her to marry into the Ning Family?
She looked towards the room where Qiao Yongyong was, her pure eyes flickered with a hint of darkness.
****
Qiao Yongyong didn’t know how long she had slept. When she opened her eyes, she thought for a few seconds, recalled what happened before she fainted, and regained her spirits!
She was talking to Brother, then she passed out!
Brother—
Brother seemed to have injected her with something!
She quickly got up and looked around, taking a breath of cold air!
This is not the décor of her room in Mexico!
The furnishings were a whole set of cool white tones, a KINGSIZE bed—
From the corner of the bedroom, a man’s chilling gaze unwaveringly stared at her, having been waiting for her to wake up.
Brother Yixiao?
Why is it Brother Yixiao?
Then... this place is...
Qiao Yongyong drew in a breath sharply, jumped off the bed, and ran to the floor-to-ceiling window, pulling open the curtains with a swish!
Although it was already dark, under the streetlights and moonlight, she could still see the outside environment clearly.
This is no longer Mexico; it’s China!
She turned around: "...What happened, how did I end up here?"
Nie Yixiao had been coldly watching her actions from start to finish, not speaking, now he coldly chuckled: "Stop acting."
