Forbidden Game: Ruthless CEO, Please Set Me Free

Chapter 511: Self-inflicted Consequences (9)

In an instant, many people understood.Mr. Fu, who holds significant power in Jiang City, does not approve of this marriage, which made the way people looked at Chen Shiqing quite meaningful.

However, no matter what, the marriage was approved by the old Mr. Fu. As for the outcome, everyone chose to wait and see.

Qiao Mo wandered around the banquet with Fu Nancheng for a while and shortly ran into Yan Yiheng.

Seeing that he wanted to talk with Fu Nancheng, Qiao Mo wisely went to get something to eat first.

Before long, the banquet officially began.

Everyone first invited the old Mr. Fu to speak, and then some older friends stepped forward to toast and offer their congratulations.

After eating a little, Qiao Mo started to feel somewhat bored.

Fu Nancheng was constantly surrounded by people, unable to escape.

So she had to wait by the side.

After more than half an hour, her feet began to hurt from standing, and Fu Nancheng finally returned to her side, speaking gently, "Tired?"

"Yes, a little."

Fu Nancheng gently embraced her and pecked her lips.

Qiao Mo’s face immediately flushed red: "So many people are watching..."

He slightly curled his lips, whispered something in her ear.

Qiao Mo was slightly stunned, looking at him a bit dazedly.

Before long, it was time for the younger generation of the Fu family to toast the old Mr. Fu, and the attendants started urging them.

Qiao Mo accompanied Fu Nancheng and happened to see Lu Qingxue and Lu Xiuyuan, as well as the daughter of Fu Zhiyuan, waiting.

Glancing around, Qiao Mo lowered her eyes and remained silent.

In fact, she could understand why the old Mr. Fu took Fu Nancheng’s marriage so seriously.

After all, although the Fu family was indeed wealthy and had a high status, the problem was that their family line was too sparse; the old Mr. Fu had two sons and a daughter in the past, but Fu Nancheng’s father had passed away early.

Now, only Fu Zhiyuan and Fu Qingrou remained, yet in the third generation, there was only one male, Fu Nancheng.

According to the older generation’s thinking, naturally, they wanted to find a suitable match for him.

Qiao Mo guessed that probably in the old Mr. Fu’s mind, he believed she was a vixen who coveted the Fu family’s wealth and beguiled Fu Nancheng.

A few waiters quickly approached with trays, and Fu Nancheng, Fu Qingrou, and Fu Zhiyuan’s daughter each picked up a glass of champagne. Led by Fu Nancheng, they all offered congratulations to the old Mr. Fu.

"Wishing Grandpa happiness as vast as the Eastern Sea and longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain." Fu Nancheng’s tone was very calm, not too emotional, but it was enough to give the old Mr. Fu face.

After they finished toasting, Chen Shiqing slowly stepped forward to offer her toast. Mrs. Chen suddenly spoke up: "Sir, today is a happy occasion for your birthday. Why not let the girl from the Qiao family join in, so as not to leave any dissatisfaction in Nancheng’s heart."

Hearing this, many people turned their focus to Qiao Mo.

Many were surprised that Mrs. Chen would invite Qiao Mo, knowing full well that Qiao Mo could threaten Chen Shiqing’s position.

However, soon, many people were relieved, as in their view, Mrs. Chen’s move was clearly to please Fu Nancheng, wanting to use Qiao Mo to ease the awkwardness between them.

The old Mr. Fu’s eyes landed on Qiao Mo, frowning slightly without saying a word.

In fact, it wasn’t that he disagreed with Nancheng being with this girl; he just wouldn’t allow this girl to become Nancheng’s legal wife!
