Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon
Chapter 177: Qiao Minde

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Qiao Minde

She saw a red sportscar from afar, the familiar figure of a man in red suit leaning against the car leisurely.

Qiao Nian took a deep breath. The time has come.

He was here to take her back.

Eventually, Qiao Minde found out where she was. No one can escape her brother’s eyes.

Watching him under the sunlight with his eyes closed, Qiao Nian felt a little guilty. Her brother had always treated her well yet she left without telling him a word. He must have been angry with her.

Qiao Nian approached her brother, Qiao Minde. His eyes flew opened the moment he sensed her presence.

His intensely gaze scanned her up and down. Qiao Nian suddenly felt nervous under his scrutiny. After a while of making her feel extremely nervous, Qiao Minde spoke up.

"Ah Nian, why did you leave without saying anything?" Qiao Minde asked, standing straight and towering over her.

Qiao Nian: "..."

"Was is because of what your stepsister did?"

So it seems Qiao Minde already knew the whole story of what Qiao Tong did to Qiao Nian in the antique shop.

Under her brother’s fearsome gaze, Qiao Nian could only nod her head.

"Ah Nian, if you don’t like this marriage, I can make grandfather cancel it," Qiao Minde was calm and patient.

Immediately, Qiao Nian knew what he meant. He had seen her together with Shentu Chu!

"Don’t!"

"Don’t?" Qiao Minde looked at the girl with a confused look.

Realizing that she might have sounded too awkward, Qiao Nian looked at the ground, embarrassed.

"Cough... I meant, grandpa might not like it. He’s old and cranky so it’s better to tell him later. If I want to cancel the wedding, I want to do it on my own and I’ll tell grandpa myself," Qiao Nian hurriedly explained.

From his words, Qiao Nian could sense that by ’make’, it was too force the old man.

Everyone knows that Grandpa Qiao was a hard one to talk to, let alone ask him to take back his decision. Doing so might cause more conflict and grandpa Qiao might hate Qiao Minde more.

Qiao Minde and Grandpa Qiao didn’t have a good relationship. Everyone knew that Qiao Minde hated his grandfather for sending him out of the country when he was very young. Because of this, Qiao Minde didn’t get to see his mother for the last time when she fell sick and died.

But somehow, Qiao Minde became the CEO of the Qiao Group when he flew back to Shengjing. It was said that Grandpa Qiao never agreed but all the directors supported Qiao Minde. This matter caused a scene in the Qiao family where Qiao Minde finally revealed

"Fine. It’s up to you," her brother said. "Let’s go,"

He turned around and opened the car door but the girl never make a move. He turned to look at her, eyes connecting as if asking her what was wrong.

"Brother, I have something to do first. Later, I’ll come find you,"

"Something to do? Shentu Chu?" Qiao Minde leaned against the car once again, his dark eyes flashing with a hint of admiration.

This Shentu Chu was really something! Too think that he could make his stubborn sister defy him!

"I want to see what kind of person he is. The rumours online seem to be wrong. Can you give me more time. Brother? I just need to find out something, then I’ll go with you. I promise," she pouted, pleading with him to let her go. She tugged on his sleeves and pulled it lightly.

Somehow, Qiao Nian felt reluctant to leave Shentu Chu’s side.

"No. What does Shentu Chu have to do with you? I don’t acknowledge this marriage, no one can make you marry him. Come with me," Qiao Minde’s tone was strict.

"But brother, I...."

"No buts. You are coming with me whether you like it or not. Don’t tell me that you have fallen for Shentu Chu?" When he said that, a few blue veins appeared on his forehead.

"No, that’s not what I meant!" Qiao Nian shook her head vigorously.

Qiao Minde’s dark gaze was very frightening at the moment. It seemed like he was forcing an answer out of her mouth.

"My marriage, I’ll decide whether I want to marry him not. There’s something I have to find out. Why was mother so eager to marry me off to Shentu Chu?" Qiao Nian suddenly had a reasonable explanation for wanting to stay with Shentu Chu.

She watched her brother frowned.

"Mother hates people who have low statuses and backgrounds. An illegitimate son like Shentu Chu is definitely off her list! Why would she agree to this marriage?" Qiao Nian saw the doubtful look in his eyes.

This seems like a good explanation to give her a rightful excuse! Qiao Nian began to pick up courage.

Seeing that he was thinking about something, she continued.

"What benefits does Shentu Chu have to make a materialistic woman like my mother agree to this marriage? Brother, am I right?" Qiao Nian clapped her hands.

"What a perfect excuse. But my answer is still no,"

Qiao Nian’s chest sank. Was there really no way to persuade her brother?

She glanced over her shoulders at Shentu Chu who was still waiting for her.

Qiao Minde had seen the way she laughed and chatted with Shentu Chu. That bright look in her eyes... He knew his sister well. She had never look at other men with such eyes.

"What are you doing with Shentu Chu? Was it simple as checking him out? I saw you acting intimate with him,"

"I...uh..." Qiao Nian’s eyes widened. Why did he suddenly asked her that? His words seemed to have some hidden meaning. She searched for an excuse but she gave up on explaining herself. Her brother probably already knew why she was with him, and he might have suspected something.

"I already told you," the girl tried to calm down her racing heart.

"Okay, I agree. I’ll be waiting, Once you are done, come home with me. No excuses," Qiao Minde said.

"I won’t break my promise. Thanks," Qiao Nian’s eyes brightened. Then she walked off to where Shentu Chu stood.

Qiao Minde watched as his sister went over to Shentu Chu, watching their lips moving as they spoke to each other.

Shentu Chu, Shentu Chu, it seems like I’ve really underestimated you.

"What took you so long?" Shentu Chu glanced around. There was no one behind them but he always felt like they were being watched.

"I... uh, was feeling uncomfortable. But I’m fine now!"
