Chapter 3 - Asking her to marry instead

Mu Haoyan cheated on her sister Qiao Xue.

She saved a man yesterday and had him send a voice to Josue on her phone.

And then what?

Joanne covered her head, confusing memories laced with dreams intermittently echoing in her head.

She seems strong for a man.

She's the one who saved that man!

Joanne sat up abruptly, feeling the sheets touching the man who was no longer there, but the various aches and pains coming clearly from her body reminded her that she hadn't dreamed last night.

She had sex with a man out of nowhere!

Chagrin to the core.

She tried to recall that nothing had happened to her body before she got home yesterday and that she had only developed her herbal symptoms after drinking a glass of water in the living room.

So who did the drug?

A name flashed through her mind, and Joanne gritted her teeth as she fumbled for a nightgown to slip on and fumbled out of bed.

He pressed his ear to the door panel and held his breath for a while, but the living room was Yahtzee, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

She carefully pulled open the door to the room, and the living room was free of the stranger's scent.

For a moment, I couldn't tell you what was going on inside.

She fumbled to sit on the couch and raised her hand to feel the kettle, which still had quite a bit of water in it.

The phone rang abruptly and Joanne fumbled for it and picked it up to answer the call, "Hello."

"Qiao An." On the other end of the phone was the voice of a cold, middle-aged woman, and the first thing Qiao An heard was that the voice was her mother, Zhou Yun.

"Mom." She answered.

"You have one hour to make a trip home." Zhou Yun commanded in a cold voice.

Johan wrinkled his brow, "Is something wrong?"

"What?" Zhou Yun sneered, "You've returned from studying abroad with hardened wings? I can't even call you anymore, can I? Don't forget who raised you to such an age, without us could you be where you are now? Don't you think ..."

"Good." Johan didn't want to hear her chatter and taunts, "I'll be right back."

Zhou Yun was interrupted in the middle of her sentence, and her heart was very upset: "Hurry up and get back!"

After the words were said, he hung up the phone straight away.

And at that moment, the Ringwood neighborhood.

Qiao Xue sat on the sofa playing with her phone, and looked up when Zhou Yun hung up, "Mom, what are you so angry with her about, is it worth it?"

Zhou Yun picked up a glass of water and drank it to smooth out her anger: "I'm furious when I hear her voice! If it wasn't for the sheep's jade she was wearing around her neck, who would have taken her home! She's a money-loser!"

Qiao Xue rolled her eyes, "Mom, how much did that piece of jade sell for back then?"

"A few million, I guess." Zhou Yun's lips curled, "Your father took that money and acquired a small factory to get to where he is today."

"She doesn't know about this, does she?"

"Ho, so what if I know? What's wrong with collecting some interest after being called mom and dad by her for over ten years?" Zhou Yun's tone was acerbic and mean, "If we hadn't taken her back to the Qiao family, she might have been reduced to something now!"

"Exactly." Qiao Xue said righteously, "She owes us all of this! Letting her marry that handicapped Huo Chengzhou for me is all a bargain for her!"

"My good girl just is a good girl and fall in love with Mu Haoyan, and when this is over you can get engaged."

Zhou Yun had a smug look on her face, "The bride price from the Huo family this time is a contract worth fifty million, and when she marries, I'll have your father give you a new car as a dowry."

"Really?" Qiao Xue wrapped her arms around Zhou Yun: "Mom, I'm looking at a red sports car from Ferrari, more than three million ..."

"Buy it!" Zhou Yun had a smug look on her face, "When you marry Qiao An to Huo Cheng Zhou, you can buy whatever you want!"

Qiao Xue jumped off the couch excitedly, "Mom, I still have to go to the store to get a custom set of jewelry made."

"Definitely!" Zhou Yun waved her hand, "You and Haoyan are in love, we can't let the Mu family look down on you, when we get engaged mom will prepare a brand new dress, and jewelry, all the items we need are the best! That way you'll have the confidence to marry!"

Qiao Xue seemed to have seen a glorious future, wrapped her arms around Zhou Yun and kissed her hard, calmed down, and wrinkled her brow again, "But mom, will Qiao An agree to marry me?"

Zhou Yun grunted, "By her!"
