Chapter 2482

"Because most wealthy families have multiple wives. Monogamy is simply not a practice among the rich!"

"As far as I know, the head of the Qiao family has three concubines."

Jiang Wan perked up again and asked, "What are the identities of those three concubines?"

Guan Rui shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I heard that one of the three concubines is the daughter of an ordinary fisherman's daughter, and she's quite pretty."

“Once, the head of the family was injured, and the fisherwoman saved him, so he married her and made her his concubine.”

"There are also two concubines whose backgrounds are relatively better."

"One of them is from a wealthy family in Hong Kong, but it's a second-rate family. Their resources were blocked by the Qiao family, so their daughter was sent out by her father to the Qiao family head's bed because she was beautiful."

"That guy surnamed Qiao is a lecher. He saw that the girl was only 16 years old and slept with her without saying a word."

"As for the other one, we don't know his or her identity. We haven't been able to find out yet."

Jiang Wan asked, "The Qiao family should have a legal wife, right?"

"That is, Joa's mother."

Do you know where she is?

"I heard that woman is dead!"

"But Joan also said her mother didn't die, so what's the truth?"

Guan Rui replied, "Her mother's whereabouts are a mystery. I heard that her mother and husband didn't have a good relationship. About half a year ago, she went to a Taoist temple, saying that she wanted to practice Buddhism while still keeping her hair."

"Praying for the Qiao family."

"They disappeared without a trace, and there has been no news of them since."

"She's probably not dead yet, but she won't show her face. The position of Mrs. Qiao is just for show; she won't appear in any of the Qiao family's affairs."

Qiao Liancheng asked, "Do you know which temple that Madam Qiao became a nun at?"

Guan Rui shook his head and said, "I don't know, it should be at Fahua Temple."

"You can also ask his daughter, Joan. Joan should know where her mother is."

Qiao Liancheng nodded. It seemed he would have to ask Qiao Ya.

While Jiang Wan and Guan Rui were discussing the Qiao family's affairs, Qiao Ya and Hai Jing had already returned to the Qiao family.

The head of the Qiao family did not go out today. Upon hearing that Qiao Ya had returned, his face did not show much anger, but rather a hint of joy.

He hurriedly stood up and went to the living room, and had someone bring Joan over.

But what he didn't expect was that when Qiao Ya came over, there was someone else with her.

When he saw that person, his expression darkened slightly, and he asked:

"Who is this person?"

Qiao Ya said coldly, "Doesn't Father know?"

"You've been having people monitor me all along, how could you not know his identity?"

The head of the Qiao family knew, of course, but he didn't expect his daughter to bring the person back.

I originally thought my daughter was just playing around.

Qiao Ya's husband could be anyone, except for a Chinese military officer, which was unacceptable to her.

But he never expected that the two of them would actually get together.

Qiao Zhendong snorted coldly and said, "Don't talk to me in such a sarcastic way. I'm your father, after all."

Qiao Ya nodded and said, "In that case, let me formally introduce you to my father. This is my husband, whom the government has issued to me. We've officially registered our marriage."

"He is an active-duty military officer in China. His name is Hai Jing."

Only a handful of people knew that Hai Jing had been discharged from the military.

This was also Yuan Xiaohua's idea, because Haijing's identity could still serve as a kind of protective charm when working in Hong Kong.

Once he has taken control of the Qiao family, he will announce to the public that he has retired.

Before this, anyone who wanted to harm him would have to think twice before taking action, as he has a powerful motherland backing him up.

When Qiao Zhendong heard that Hai Jing was an active-duty military officer in China and that the two had already registered their marriage, his face turned ashen, like a pile of excrement.

His eyes were practically spitting fire.

She glared fiercely at Qiao Ya and said, "You chose this husband yourself, I don't acknowledge it."

Qiao Ya said confidently, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but Grandpa admits it. It was Grandpa who took a liking to him, and of course I love him too."

“We have already received Grandpa’s approval. Grandpa personally officiated at our wedding, and we have already obtained our marriage certificate, so we are a legally married couple.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhendong could no longer contain his anger.

He grabbed the cup in front of him and smashed it on the ground. The cup shattered into pieces, and the tea inside spilled everywhere.

But nobody cares about these things, and neither does Joa.

She stood up coldly, staring at Qiao Zhendong with icy eyes, and said:

"When I came back this time, Grandpa asked me to tell you to keep a close eye on the Qiao family. He will be back in a few days."

“If you dare to make any underhanded moves, Grandpa can give the Qiao family to you and he can take it back.”

After saying that, she stood up, took Haijing's hand, and turned to leave.

Qiao Zhendong stood alone in place, head down, without saying a word.

No one knew what his expression was at that moment, but everyone could feel the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him.

After entering Qiao Ya's room, Hai Jing quickly closed the door, then took out a small, round device and scanned the entire room.

A short while later, they picked some things down. At this time, the listening device couldn't be made very small; it was still quite large.

They were at least the size of a fist, and even so, there were still about 10 of them hidden in the room.

We can take all of these things down.

Qiao Ya asked in confusion, "What's this thing for?"

Hai Jing replied, "It's probably a bugging device."

Qiao Ya paused for a moment and said, "But where does their power come from? Does it have batteries? And how do they spread the information they've eavesdropped on?"

At this moment, Qiao Ya was like a curious child. She was originally studying the electronics industry, although she studied programming.

But I'm still very curious about electronic devices.

She had seen the listening devices Jiang Wan had made; they were very small, about the size of a matchbox. But these in front of her were each the size of an adult's fist.

It's even a size bigger than that one.

This is obviously a defective product.

Therefore, Joa looked at these things with disdain, but still couldn't help asking about their origin out of curiosity.

Hai Jing waved the item in his hand and said, "Not every manufacturer is like Jiang Wan. The things Jiang Wan makes are not something that ordinary people can do."

"This thing is just a regular mass-produced product; it's probably handmade and modified."

"Ignore these things and think about how to get out of here."

Qiao Ya said, "You mean Father will put me in solitary confinement and not let me leave?"

Hai Jing paused for a moment and said, "No, I don't think he'll stop you from leaving, but after we leave, he might send someone to intercept and kill us."

Qiao Ya asked, "Then what should we do? How about I stay behind to distract him, and you go to the appointment alone?"
