My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day

Chapter 378: Chapter 373: I Have No Relationship with Tang Honghe

"My mom had been financially supporting Brother Jiayuan’s education for years, even my dad didn’t know about it. I even got shares in Qiao Group thanks to him helping me from behind the scenes, and he never dated anyone all these years."

At least Qiao Xi had never seen any woman by his side.

Nor had she heard him mention a girlfriend, or ever seen him bring a female friend to meet her.

Xie Baola arched an eyebrow, her eyes lighting up when looking at Qiao Xi, "He’s truly the man I fancied."

Qiao Xi: "...but you haven’t even added him on WeChat."

She didn’t want to crush her best friend’s spirits.

But that was the truth.

Xie Baola lifted her chin slightly: "That’s because I didn’t dare to pursue him before, but now I have no worries holding me back, how could I fail?"

"Don’t worry about it, darling, just wait till I become your sister-in-law!"

Qiao Xi: "..."

I consider you my best friend, and yet you want to be my sister-in-law.

...

Qu Jiashu called Qu Keke to make sure she was okay before driving to a bar to drown his sorrows alone.

At eleven o’clock at night, Qu Jiashu returned home to the Qu Family residence smelling of alcohol.

Mrs. Qu was still sitting on the living room sofa.

Usually, she would have gone to bed by this time.

Qu Jiashu paused, tugged at his shirt collar, feeling a bit stuffy in his chest. "Mom, why haven’t you gone to bed yet?"

Mrs. Qu frowned, "Seeing you drink so much, for a woman no less, have you lost your mind?"

Qu Jiashu also furrowed his brow immediately: "Did Qu Keke tell you something?"

Mrs. Qu tossed a stack of photos onto the coffee table.

"Come and see."

Qu Jiashu walked over to the coffee table, looked down at the pile of photos, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

He scoffed, "What are these?"

"Pick one you like. These are all the well-bred ladies I’ve carefully selected, all better than those from the Xie Family."

Mrs. Qu looked at Jiashu solemnly.

"Jiashu, you’re not getting any younger. It’s time to settle down, listen to your mother."

Disgust flickered in Jiashu’s eyes as his gaze grew colder. "Mom, haven’t I already told you not to arrange these things?"

Mrs. Qu suddenly stood up: "Jiashu, the Xie family has a tainted reputation, you can’t get involved with them. They want a son-in-law, would you go to the Xie Family to be one? You are the young master of the Qu Family!"

Her gaze turned sharp and disappointed: "You’ve had girlfriends before and never brought them home. If not for what Keke told me, I wouldn’t have known you had feelings for that girl from the Xie family! You two are not suitable, better break it off early."

Families like the Xie family, some self-proclaimed elites naturally wouldn’t take them seriously.

Break it off?

Jiashu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Baola had never been interested in him; he didn’t even have the chance to break it off with her.

How ridiculous.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Qu continued, "Choose someone among these and go meet them, if suitable, settle things down. This is also what your father and I wish. He’s out on business and hasn’t returned yet, so I’ll arrange this."

Jiashu picked up the photos, flipping through them one by one, before ultimately tossing them all back onto the coffee table.

"I don’t like any of them." His expression impassive, "Mom, stop going to such lengths."

"You don’t like any of these?" Mrs. Qu laughed carelessly: "Well, there are plenty of girls in Hai City. If you don’t like these, I can find others for you to choose from. You’ll find someone suitable eventually."

"Mom!" Jiashu pinched the bridge of his nose, weary. "Are you asking me to pick out a cabbage?"

Mrs. Qu coldly snorted, "I’m telling you to get serious, stop thinking about that girl from the Xie family!"

Suddenly, Jiashu felt very tired, almost too weary to continue: "I’m going to rest now, we can talk about this later."

Mrs. Qu watched his retreating figure, her words relentless: "What do you mean later? We must settle your matters in the next few days. You’re going matchmaking tomorrow!"

Jiashu quickened his steps.

He paused at the door to Qu Keke’s room.

A few seconds later, he went straight to his room.

Jiashu lay back on his bed, pulling out his phone; a photo of Xie Baola was displayed.

"Puala."

...

The next day, Qiao Xi had an interview with a TV station.

Just as the interview ended, she received a WeChat message from Qu Keke.

"It’s terrifying, my mom is trying to force my brother into marriage."

Qiao Xi: "???"

Why suddenly force him into marriage?

Given the current status of the Qu Family and Jiashu’s capabilities, he should have the freedom to choose his own spouse.

Qiao Xi inquired from Qu Keke about the reason.

Keke sent her a voice message: "What else could it be? She thinks he’s getting old and hopes he settles down soon. Today, my mom forced him to go matchmaking, and he didn’t want to, so she even brought a girl home. It looks like she’s determined to ’assign’ a woman to him, it’s truly terrifying!"

After translating her friend’s words, Qiao Xi thought for a moment before replying: "Isn’t having another sister-in-law a good thing?"

Keke: "What’s good about that? I’m scared that one day my mom will suddenly force marriage onto me too."

Qiao Xi felt she was overthinking; the Qu Family wasn’t at the point of needing their daughter to enter into an arranged marriage.

She wasn’t like Jiashu.

Jiashu had his mission; as Miss of the Qu Family, she just needed to be happy and joyful.

Qiao Xi: "You could try having a boyfriend before your mom starts forcing marriage."

Keke first sent an ellipsis, then replied: "What kind of bad advice is that?"

[Qiao Xi: "Isn’t it as I thought with you and Tang Honghe?"]

Just after sending the message, Qiao Xi saw "typing" displayed on the screen.

But a minute passed, and she still hadn’t received any reply from Keke.

Qiao Xi walked out of the advertising building with Wang Li.

Zhou Ge followed them.

Reaching the car, Qiao Xi said: "Sister Li, I’ll head back now."

"I’m going to the company, you go ahead. Tomorrow we’ll do a photo shoot for a cover and then have a day off, the day after tomorrow we’ll attend a charity dinner."

This annual charity dinner drew celebrities from everywhere.

The guest list had been publicly shared on Weibo ahead of time.

Qiao Xi, having been busy on a film set for the past six months, hadn’t appeared in public, and not even a personal picture of her had surfaced.

Fans could сatch only glimpses of her from the occasional movie set snippets shared by her crew.

Knowing she would attend the event, her fans were ecstatic.

Every time Qiao Xi appeared in public, she drew immense attention.

No one in the entertainment industry could match the Goddess of Divine Beauty’s looks.

Her recent activities were all in Hai City, which made things convenient.

"I understand." Qiao Xi nodded.

Wang Li drove off.

Zhou Ge also started the car and drove Qiao Xi away.

"Miss Qiao, where are we heading now?"

Her phone buzzed with a message, Qiao Xi looked down; it was from Qu Keke: "I have absolutely NO relation with Tang Honghe!!!"
