Grabbed by Qiao Shan, Qiao Ning staggered and almost fell, but fortunately, Xia Jingyu caught her. He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Qiao Shan's face darkened and she glared at Xia Jingyu sullenly. She pushed Qiao Ning hard towards Li Chengyan secretly, hoping to see her pratfall.

Everybody knows that Li Chengyan is a control freak, merciless and obsessive about cleanliness. he hates physical contact with others, especially with girls.

But unexpectedly, Li Chengyan held Qiao Ning up and said with a half-smile, "Hello, Miss Qiao!"

Qiao Ning's face turned pale and she didn't even dare to look at him. She quickly broke away from his arms.

Qiao Shan frowned. "It is said that Li Chengyan has never shown interest in women, but why was he willing to help Qiao Ning? Does Li Chengyan like her?" She thought.

Qiao Shan laughed out in her mind and believed that she must be thinking too much. How could it be? It was just impossible for someone like Li Chengyan to fall for an ordinary woman like Qiao Ning. That is just the manners and deeds of a gentleman. 

However, just in case, Qiao Shan explained to Li Chengyan immediately, "Mr. Li, my sister was Jingyu's ex-girlfriend, but she cheated on him and had sex with another man. Thanks to her, Jingyu and I had the opportunity to get together."

Xia Jingyu said unhappily, "Shan, you shouldn't have mentioned it."

Qiao Ning kept her head down and looked down at her fingers. Others must think she was shameful! But only she knew that it was due to fear.

Because the man she was with was right in front of her, and she lied to him last time.

"I see," Li Chengyan said calmly.

His eyes swept over Qiao Ning coldly. Though Qiao Ning kept her head down, she could still feel his gaze.

"Uncle, Mother is there. You should go over there!" Xia Jingyu said.

"Uncle?" Qiao Ning looked up in surprise and looked at Xia Jingyu in disbelief.

Li Chengyan smiled and reached out his hand, "Miss Qiao, let me introduce myself! I'm Li Chengyan, Xia Jingyu's uncle, the youngest one. Nice to meet you."

Qiao Ning's face turned even paler, and her head was going bang. She stared at Li Chengyan's outstretched hand and quickly ran away as soon as she gathered her senses again.

She ran so fast as if she with running with sneakers instead of the seven-centimeter heels. She ran like there was a ghost coming after her.

"She is becoming more and more impolite. Uncle, don't worry. She is that kind of person." Qiao Shan snorted and quickly apologized to Li Chengyan with a smile.

Li Chengyan said coldly, "You'd better call me Mr. Li!"

Qiao Shan's face turned pale, and she pouted unhappily at Xia Jingyu, acting coquettishly, "Jingyu..."

Xia Jingyu also frowned. Li Chengyan's attitude clearly showed that he didn't recognize Qiao Shan as part of Xia Family.

Normally, he did not need his uncle's permission to get married, but it was different in his family. The whole family was actually under Li Chengyan's control, and even his father was somehow afraid of him.

It would be troublesome if he didn't like Qiao Shan. He regretted getting married in such a hurry.

Sure enough, Li Chengyan left before the wedding ended, and his attitude also surprised Xia Jingyu's parents. They were no longer so friendly to Qiao Wenyuan and his wife, and their hospitality towards Qiao Shan cooled down as well.

"Help me investigate a girl named Qiao Ning." Li Chengyan ordered as he got into the car.

Chen Heng, his assistant who got in the car with him, immediately said yes and started working on it. Investigating someone without backgrounds is a piece of cake for him. After half an hour, all her information was sent to Li Chengyan.

Li Chengyan flipped it over casually. A cold gleam sparked in his eyes and a faint smile curved on his lips, "No wonder I can't find her. She lied to me with a fake name."
