Chapter 1021: Xia Ning’s past

No matter how calm Li Xiao was and how well prepared she was, hearing Qiao Yu’s cold words, her expression still turned ugly.

They were all family friends, and he wasn’t even willing to give them this little bit of face?

As for the other uncles, their expressions were even worse. Qiao Yu’s rejection of Li Xiao was like a slap to their faces, and they were the ones who suggested it.

“Uncles, didn’t you ask me to come here today to discuss the cooperation agreement?” Qiao Yu spoke first. He looked at the time,”I have a conference call at 11:30, so I’ll be leaving at 11.”

As soon as he said that, the rest of the people didn’t Dare to Care about this anymore. It was almost 10:30.

General manager Cheng immediately said,”little Yu, come and sit. I just got some good tea. Try it.”

“Old Cheng, Xiao Yu is a young man. Young people don’t like to drink tea. They like to drink coffee.” Chief Zhang said immediately.

“Yeah, yeah, coffee!” The rest of the people also chimed in.

Qiao Yu sat down and didn’t say a word. He didn’t care about the tea or coffee they served him.

Although Li Xiao had been embarrassed by Qiao ran, she sat beside him and spoke to him as if nothing had happened.”Senior, I saw some gossip about you on the internet a few days ago. I didn’t expect you to get married and have children so early. Your children look so much like you.”

“Thank you,” Qiao Yu replied.

“We didn’t even know that you had a child. Our friends at Cambridge were all discussing which woman was so lucky to marry you and even give birth to a son for you.” Li Xiao said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, the rest of the people became interested.

“Little Yu, you’re in the wrong. You already have a wife, why didn’t you tell us uncles? let us be happy for you.”

“That’s right, little Yu. Can you tell us which family’s daughter she is from?”

“My son told me that you’re married and have a child. I thought he was lying to me. I didn’t expect it to be true. Your father should be able to feel at ease in the afterlife.”

Everyone’s eyes fell on Qiao Yu. There was only one thing to focus on, and that was who he married!

Qiao Yu’s eyes swept across the crowd and said,””I’ll bring her to visit all the uncles some other day. ”

Who cared if he was going to visit her? the main point was who she was.

But obviously, Qiao Yu wasn’t going to tell them. This reminded them of a rumor. Some people said that Qiao Yu wanted to keep their marriage a secret because the child was an illegitimate child. But, he publicly admitted that the woman was Mrs. Qiao, so the relationship was a bit complicated.

“Uncles, didn’t you bring the cooperation agreement?” Qiao Yu suddenly broke the silence in the room.

Everyone came back to their senses and immediately said,””Yes, I did. I almost forgot that little Yu was in a hurry.”

At around 11 am, Qiao Yu left.

As soon as he left the AS hotel, Li Xiao caught up from behind.

“Senior, wait for me.”

Qiao Yu didn’t stop, but she was already in front of him, blocking his way.

“Senior, you’re still so cold to people.” Li Xiao said with a smile.

Qiao Yu glanced at her but didn’t say anything.

“Senior, you probably don’t remember me, but you should remember Xia Ning, who is also known as Asteria, right?” Li Xiao smiled and said,”she really liked you back then.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao ran’s brows furrowed slightly. She finally had some impression of the person in front of her, but he was only here for Xia Ning.

However, Li Xiao thought that he had heard Xia Ning’s name and was reminded of her chasing after the sun back then. She continued,””Senior, you should know that Xia Ning has become an actress now. To be honest, I’m very surprised. Back then, all of our international students were very envious of her talent. She was already in her first year of her master ‘s. However, for some reason, she suddenly took a leave of absence in her second year of her master’ s. She even took a whole year off. Senior, do you know what happened to her?”
