Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

Now that she doesn't see Qiao Ai, Gu Youyou is not disappointed, because she can finally hook up with Zhou Chengyan again without Qiao Ai.

Gu Youyou's eyes lit up, she looked at Zhou Chengyan shyly and timidly, and opened her mouth to speak, "Brother Zhou——"

"Ai Ai has never done anything wrong, there is nothing shameful to face others. I don't know that the two of you came here uninvited at this time, it is—"

Zhou Chengyan didn't even glance at Gu Youyou, and said directly to Old Madam Gu.

"Have you ever done anything wrong?"

The old lady Gu looked disdainful, "She has never done anything wrong, why didn't she dare to clarify herself in front of the media? Isn't it shameless?"

"It's because she's pregnant. We just came back from the hospital yesterday."

Zhou Chengyan said word by word, the forbearance in his tone was clearly audible, if it wasn't because of Qiao Ai's feelings for Mrs. Gu, Zhou Chengyan would not have talked to her in such a good temper.

"pregnant!?"

"pregnant!?"

Old lady Gu and Gu Youyou yelled almost in unison.

However, the inner thoughts of the two people are completely different.

Gu Youyou came this time with a selfish intention of "beating the dog in the water" and asked Mrs. Gu to come forward and teach Qiao Ai a lesson, so that she would retreat and stop competing with her for the position of the Gu family.

Unexpectedly, she heard a piece of news that made her even more painful: Qiao Ai was pregnant.

Doesn't that mean that Qiao Ai has another weight to stay by Zhou Chengyan's side, so Gu Youyou's teeth itch with anger, her hands are clenched into fists by her side, and her nails are deeply dug into her palms.

At the same time, Mrs. Gu was only a little surprised, and then she smiled, but her tone was still full of sarcasm: "Very good, isn't it great to be pregnant! Miss Qiao is now pregnant with the Zhou family's child." The bloodline has gained a firm foothold in the Zhou family, so naturally there is no need to grab the position of our Gu family's granddaughter to stabilize our position in the future."

The old lady Gu has always only believed that Gu Youyou, who was brought back by Gu Qiming and who grew up under the care of the Gu family, is the biological flesh and blood of her daughter Xiaoyou.

Instigated by Gu Youyou's ulterior motives, her old man's purpose was always to prevent Qiao Ai from appearing in their Gu family again, bullying Gu Youyou, and competing with her for the position of her granddaughter.

The old lady Gu's whole mind is only protecting Gu Youyou.

So after hearing that Qiao Ai was pregnant, Mrs. Gu felt really relieved.

Moreover, after Gu Youyou heard Mrs. Gu's words, the jealousy and resentment in her heart eased a little. Just like what Mrs. Gu said, Qiao Ai can stop competing with her for the position of the eldest lady of the Gu family if she is pregnant. If she can keep this identity, she will have the opportunity to get close to Zhou Chengyan again in the future.

However, some people are not happy.

"Madam Gu, you are wrong."

Zhou Chengyan said indifferently, "Ai Ai's position in Zhou Chengyan's heart has always been unshakable, so I don't need to rely on someone else's position."

"and also--"

Suddenly a slightly weak voice came from behind the three of them. Looking back, Qiao Ai had left the bedroom at some point and was standing in the living room.

Zhou Chengyan quickly ran up to support her, and there was only endless worry in his gentle reproach, "Why did you come out, you need to stay in bed!"

For the sake of the child in her stomach, Qiao Ai really didn't want to come out, she just wanted to be quiet and quiet.

Otherwise, she was really afraid that she would not be able to bear the cynicism of Mrs. Gu and would be unable to hold herself back.

However, after thinking about it, I feel that avoiding her will not solve any problems, it will only make Mrs. Gu's misunderstanding of her deeper and deeper, and then my mother's wish to return to her roots will become more and more out of reach.

So, after several struggles, Qiao Ai still decided to stand up and defend herself.

"I didn't go to the camera to argue with you and defend my innocence, not only because I was pregnant, but also because I didn't want to kill each other with my relatives."

Qiao Ai felt that she was too humble in front of Mrs. Gu because she was too eager to return to Gu's family. Such grievances and seeking perfection seemed to be impure motives to Mrs. Gu.

That's not what she is!
So after careful consideration, Qiao Ai decided to use her usual behavior to express her feelings, neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor arrogant, "Arguing with you in front of the media, fighting with each other, it will either make me ugly or you will look ugly .And I don't want you to suffer any harm, so I would rather choose not to appear in front of the media."

The sonorous and powerful words shocked everyone present, and everyone was stunned for a few seconds.

And at the moment when people were stunned, "Ding dong ding dong ding dong——", the doorbell rang again hastily.

Opening the door, standing at the door was a sweaty Xia Yi who was running.

Xia Yi was obviously taken aback when he saw a group of people standing in the living room all looking at him.

However, he entered the room immediately, and handed a small wrapped box in his hand to Zhou Chengyan, "Young Master Zhou, the things have been retrieved."

Seeing that familiar small box, Qiao Ai's originally dull eyes suddenly glowed with brilliance. She opened it excitedly, carefully took out a string of exquisite diamond necklaces from inside, and held it in her hand as if she had found a treasure.

"This is--?!"

When Mrs. Gu saw the necklace, her complexion changed suddenly, her hands trembled slightly and she wanted to touch it, but she hesitated and stopped in mid-air.

"What's the matter, grandma? Could this be something from our family? Did Qiao Ai take it away secretly when he went to our house?"

Seeing Old Madam Gu's expression, Gu Youyou said self-righteously as if her mind was flooded.

"If you can't speak, please keep your mouth shut right now. Otherwise, believe it or not, I'll kick you out right now."

Zhou Chengyan looked at Gu Youyou in disgust, the warning in his eyes was enough to make her tremble with fear.

Gu Youyou wisely shut her mouth and stopped talking.

"It's a relic from my mother."

The room was absolutely quiet, and Qiao Ai said leisurely, "This is a piece of jewelry that my mother has always cherished as her life. When she knew that her time was short, she quietly handed it to me, and repeatedly told me I must keep it carefully."

There is a kind of person who can't be changed and eats shit. Gu Youyou is such a person.

"Tch, isn't it just an ordinary diamond necklace, it's still like a baby—"

Three seconds after she closed her mouth, she started to make trouble again.

However, when he saw Zhou Chengyan's eyes, he immediately swallowed back the words, and almost choked to death on his own saliva, and coughed several times.
