Chapter 150: What's your relationship with my husband?
Xie Qingyi's face was extremely unpleasant. This Old Qin was a close friend of Zhan Yanxun's grandfather. He had always been lukewarm towards her and never gave her a kind look, yet he was so close to Jiang Qianhui.
At this moment, Yang Huirong walked to Xie Qingyi's side and said with a faint smile, "Now it can be proven that it wasn't my daughter who was arrogant and domineering, but that person who was scheming and malicious in order to deceive Old Master Qin and swallow up that mine, so he tried to kill her to cover it up. Fortunately, now that the mine has been mined, it has been found to be a priceless piece of black jade. My daughter is both brave and resourceful."
Yang Huirong had just vented her anger over Xie Qingyi's humiliation of her and her daughter, and now she was extremely proud.
Old Qin said respectfully to Jiang Zhengguo, "Mr. Jiang, I really like your daughter. Could you give her to me as my goddaughter and make her the heir of my Qin family?"
Old Qin had no children, and many people coveted his property, eagerly offering to be his sons and daughters, but he simply didn't care for them.
Jiang Zhengguo was very happy that she had taken a liking to his daughter.
Jiang Zhengguo: "Mr. Qin, it is an honor for our Jiang family that you think so highly of my daughter."
Yang Huirong quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, it is our daughter's honor to be so kind to you."
Old Master Qin said with great enthusiasm, "Since you all agree, I will choose an auspicious day to have all the prominent figures in high society witness Qian Sui becoming my daughter and the heir of our Qin family."
Being the eldest daughter of the Jiang family is already an honor; with the added status of being the eldest daughter of the Qin family, Jiang Qianhui is already the most distinguished woman in Country A.
At this moment, Zhan Yanxun walked in and said coldly, "I disagree."
Zhan Yanxun's words made Qin Lao and Jiang Zhengguo and his wife look embarrassed, while Xie Qingyi and Yan Lanqiao were very happy.
Jiang Qianhui cannot become the eldest daughter of the Qin family!
"Yan Xun, why don't you agree?"
Old Qin had always liked Zhan Yanxun and had always been very fond of him, but now he felt more resentful towards him.
"I've called you Grandpa Qin since I was a child. My wife is now your daughter. What generational relationship is that?"
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Zhan Yanxun, such a gloomy person, is actually joking now.
Everyone was stunned; their pupils dilated, and their cerebellum shrank.
Jiang Qianhui said casually, "It's okay, we can call each other whatever we want. If you really care about seniority, you can call me aunt, Mr. Zhan. I don't mind."
Zhan Yanxun: "..."
He had just thought she did it on purpose, so it wasn't just his overthinking; she really did do it on purpose.
When Yan Lan saw Zhan Yanxun coming over, she couldn't let Jiang Qianhui continue to be so smug.
Yan Lan said sarcastically, "Yan Xun, what brings you here? You're so badly injured, you should rest more. We owe a lot to Qiao Weiwei today. If it weren't for Qiao Weiwei risking her life to save you, the consequences would be unimaginable. I heard from Qiao Weiwei that someone even wanted to push her husband out to take a bullet for her own life."
She pushed her husband out to take the bullet!
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
After Yan Lan finished speaking, she looked at Xie Qingyi, who immediately exploded.
"When Jiang Qianhui heard that the kidnappers gave you a choice between your death and Yan Xun's death, you chose to live on your own without hesitation. As a wife, your cowardly behavior is really despicable."
At this moment, Qiao Weiwei quickly said in a sarcastic tone, "Madam Zhan, please don't blame President Jiang. In that situation, everyone would choose to save their own life. Not everyone is like me, with a worthless life, and has the courage to sacrifice for others. President Jiang is a woman of high birth, and it's only natural for her to fear death. Now that everyone is alright, let's not pursue this matter any further."
Although Qiao Weiwei's words seemed to be speaking up for Jiang Qianhui, she actually wanted to portray Jiang Qianhui as someone who was afraid of death.
She simply couldn't believe that Old Master Qin would be willing to recognize someone who was afraid of dying as his goddaughter.
That abandoned mine has now become a priceless jadeite mine. That already infuriated her; if she were to become Elder Qin's successor, that would be unacceptable.
As expected, when Elder Qin heard that Jiang Qianhui wanted Zhan Yanxun dead in order to save her own life, his expression changed instantly.
He has a strong sense of brotherhood and is most afraid of cowards who are afraid of death.
Jiang Qianhui deliberately frowned, her watery eyes shimmering with grievance as she said, "But you and my husband have no connection whatsoever, so why would you die for him? Do you two have some kind of shady relationship?"
Jiang Qianhui's words hit the nail on the head, and had a very strong impact.
Furthermore, her deliberately furrowed brows and the fact that tears were almost falling, as if she had suffered a great injustice, only strengthened people's belief that Qiao Weiwei and Zhan Yanxun were having an affair.
His gaze toward Qiao Weiwei became much sharper.
Now it was Qiao Weiwei's turn to feel frustrated. Jiang Qianhui had been so domineering just now, how could she suddenly look so pitiful?
Qiao Weiwei was stunned. She had only wanted to belittle Jiang Qianhui for being greedy for life and afraid of death, but now she had been dragged into the vortex herself.
As Jiang Qianhui's mother, Yang Huirong stepped forward first to question Qiao Weiwei: "My son-in-law is very outstanding. He is handsome, rich, and capable. Countless women want to get close to him. But you are quite cunning in your methods. You think you can get a man without risking your life?"
How can you catch a man without entering the tiger's den?
When did her mother become so humorous? Jiang Qianhui almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qiao Weiwei feigned pitifulness and said, "No, it's not like that. I'm willing to protect President Zhan because he's my boss, because he's a good person."
Yang Huirong said sarcastically, "I've never seen anyone in the world willing to die for their boss. You're quite the good employee who moved China."
Old Qin's expression also turned stern. He looked at Zhan Yanxun and said seriously, "Zhan Yanxun, I watched you grow up. You're not like those spoiled brats; you don't have so many ulterior motives. This woman is the one who accompanied you to the raw stone auction, right? Although she's your secretary, you can't get too close to her. What kind of great undertaking can a man talk about if he can't even protect his own family!"
Old Qin had never spoken so harshly to Zhan Yanxun before; it seemed he was truly angry.
After Qin Lao finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Qianhui and said, "From now on, Qianhui will be my daughter. If you dare to bully her, I, Qin Lao, will be the first to object."
Jiang Qianhui still had a furrowed brow, looking pitiful, like a bullied little wife, but when she raised her eyebrows to look at Zhan Yanxun, her eyes were full of pride.
This woman can change her expression?
Zhan Yanxun hadn't realized how interesting this woman was now, so he walked over to Jiang Qianhui's side, put his arm around her, and said, "Grandpa Qin, you can rest assured, Jiang Qianhui is my wife, and naturally she is the most important person to me. I will never leave her in this life."
