Old Mr. Gu snorted coldly and glanced at Chu Qiao, who had been sitting silently. He didn’t expect that He Jihong’s stepdaughter would be so beautiful.

He had seen her several times before, but he hadn’t spoken to her. Her hair covered most of her face, making her look indecent. To be honest, the old man’s impression of Chu Qiao was not very good.

But when he saw this girl today, he felt that she was pretty nice. She looked very kind, with a good posture, and she was completely different from her previous demeanor.

The old man had no objections towards Chu Qiao herself, but her identity made the old man uncomfortable.

It was good to find anyone, but he chose Xu Bilian’s step-younger sister.

However, although the old man was dissatisfied, he didn’t show it blatantly. First, because this brat Gu Ye was disobedient since he was young. The more he opposed this brat, the more rebellious he became. Second, because the old man secretly felt guilty.

The old man who had been strict for all his life had always wanted to find a chance to say ‘sorry’ to his youngest son.

After that incident, he admitted that he shouldn’t force his youngest son to transfer jobs. Such a good prospect, Gu Ye would have a better future if only he stayed in Team B.

But every time he met his youngest son, he always got angry because of Gu Ye’s inappropriate behavior. How can he apologize when he was about to be angry to death? It’s bullshit!

“What kind of work do you have?” The old man’s tone was quite gentle, with a straight face. Like he wanted to have a casual talk with Chu Qiao about her daily life.

Chu Qiao was startled and nervously changed her sitting posture. She straightened her body even more, and honestly replied, “I play piano.”

“You can play the piano?”

The old man was surprised, it was quite unexpected. He had heard Old Mrs. He mentioned Chu Qiao before, and her tone was quite disgusted.

She said that the girl was dull, slow to learn things, and didn’t have much to say, saying that she was an unintelligent rural girl. Unexpectedly, she could play piano?

Gu Ye was unhappy and said, “Qiao Qiao plays piano especially well. She is very smart and can learn everything quickly.”

The old man’s tone didn’t sound nice to Gu Ye. It was not surprising that his wife could play the piano.

Chu Qiao’s face turned a little red, but she silently was very happy. She really wanted to get recognition so much, but in her 42 years of previous life, and the first 21 years of this life, she had never received recognition from anyone, not even a word of praise. All she heard was negativity, criticism, and a look of disgust, which made her have a low self-esteem. She thought she was really bad at anything.

Gu Ye’s praise made Chu Qiao more confident, as she loved to hear the compliments. Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why she chose to fake marriage with Gu Ye.

The old man felt a little sorry, he really shouldn’t have asked the girl in that tone. What was wrong with being a rural girl? He himself was also from the countryside. So how could he look down on her?

“It’s great to be able to play the piano. Are you teaching music at school?” The old man’s tone became more gentle, thinking that Chu Qiao was a music teacher, he was very satisfied.

Chu Qiao looked at Gu Ye and didn’t know how to answer. She didn’t want to lie to the old man, but she was afraid that the old man would have a prejudice against her if he knew that she was working in the dance hall.

Gu Ye grinned and answered for her, “What’s so good about teaching? Qiao Qiao plays the piano at Tang Yaozu’s place, and she earns 50 yuan a night. The earning is much more than teaching.”

Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him gratefully. The feeling of someone standing up for her in everything was really a warm feeling. With Gu Ye on her side, she really felt calm and secure.

The old man didn’t remember who Tang Yaozu was for a moment, it was Lin Yulan who reminded him, “Old Chang’s son-in-law who runs a company.”

Lin Yulan had a strange look in her eyes and hesitated to speak more. She knew that Tang Yaozu opened a dance hall, and that kind of place was not a good place. It was not suitable for a girl to work there, and it would be better to teach instead.
