Chapter 100 Enthusiasm, after all, the wrong payment
Pei Liyan frowned slightly and met He Zheng's serious eyes.
He pulled his lips. "It's too late to say anything now."
"Resist from the brink, brother." He Zheng patted him on the shoulder.
Pei Liyan raised his eyebrows.
All these conversations were overheard by Qiao Rui. She had a good ear in the first place, but now, after hearing these, she felt a little fond of He Zheng.
This man is at least much more upright than Pei Liyan.
Qiao Rui now knew that Pei Liyan had been thinking about Rui Rui all night, and she was speechless. Did this man have a split personality?
Pei Liyan said nothing more, said goodbye to He Zheng, and took Qiao Rui away.
After He Zheng sent them away, he turned around and saw Qiao Xiang watching Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui leave with deep eyes.
Fu Yichen was looking at Qiao Xiang, his eyes equally dark.
He walked up to Fu Yichen and whispered: "Li Yan asked me to tell you, don't take things personally between brothers."
Fu Yichen was stunned and realized that He Zheng was referring to what Pei Liyan had asked him to apologize to Qiao Rui.
He immediately shook his head. "No, am I the kind of person who doesn't trust my brothers?"
He Zheng nodded. "It's best if you understand. Li Yan has his own arrangements."
"Why did Brother Pei choose Qiao Rui?" Fu Yichen was still puzzled.
He Zheng shook his head. "If you ask me, I don't know either."
Fu Yichen was thoughtful. "I thought you knew Brother Pei better."
After all, He Zheng and Pei Liyan have always had the best relationship.
"Between friends, some things should be kept at a distance and restrained." He Zheng reached out and patted Fu Yichen on the shoulder.
He was stunned and looked a little embarrassed.
What happened today, he really went over the line.
Qiao Rui was Pei Liyan's choice, the one he chose to marry in full public view.
He must have his own arrangements.
Fu Yichen patted his head and said, "I'm such a stick!"
Seeing that he understood, He Zheng smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui walked home together.
He glanced at Qiao Rui and said, "You are very good today."
"Does Mr. Pei want to settle accounts with his wife?" Qiao Rui asked calmly.
Pei Liyan was stunned and said, "Are you very aggressive? As long as someone talks to you and makes you unhappy, you will verbally attack them."
Qiao Rui was also startled: "Really? I thought I was fighting back in self-defense."
Pei Liyan smiled softly: "Self-defense and counterattack?"
"Yes." Qiao Rui nodded.
"You are quite arrogant."
"Is Mr. Pei going to give in?"
"Did I take action?" Pei Liyan asked.
"No." Qiao Rui said calmly: "Does Mr. Pei want to vent his anger on Fu Yichen and teach me a lesson?"
"It's not about teaching me a lesson." Pei Liyan said, "I just want to remind you to save some face for my brother when necessary."
"But I think face is earned by oneself." Qiao Rui said: "Your brother acted mischievously in front of me all night!"
"Fu Yichen is targeting you because he is indeed ignorant."
"No!" Qiao Rui shook his head. "The fact that he stood up for you just proves that he is a more loyal and practical person. It's just that you and my eldest sister are not loyal enough. His enthusiasm was ultimately misplaced."
"Wrong payment?" Pei Liyan's voice was relatively calm, but Qiao Rui still heard a fierceness that could not be concealed.
Perhaps this man is used to being aloof and always carries his own majesty and aura unconsciously.
Qiao Rui shrugged, "Maybe you don't think so. Anyway, you brothers won't take such a trivial matter to your heart."
"Change your temper." Pei Liyan suddenly said.
Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment. This man spoke with a commanding tone, which was really unbearable.
Qiao Rui looked at the road ahead. Although there were street lights, it was still pitch black in the distance.
She said calmly: "Mr. Pei, please change your temper first."
Pei Liyan hummed and suddenly stopped. Behind him was a street lamp.
Pei Liyan, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stood against the light. His tall figure gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Qiao Rui was not threatened, she just raised her eyes and looked at the man, still with a calm attitude.
Pei Liyan looked at her for a while, then half-squinted his eyes and said, "Qiao Rui, you, me, and my brothers are quite arrogant!"
Qiao Rui asked calmly: "Is there any?"
"have!"
"I'm not proud at all!"
"The adjective is wrong, you are poor!" Pei Liyan said in a deep voice.
Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly amused by this word. Looking at the serious look on the man's face, she was also very speechless.
She smiled and turned to leave.
The man looked at her back, and suddenly his eyes were in a trance. The moment she turned around, this back made him feel nervous.
Then, Pei Liyan reached out and grabbed Qiao Rui's wrist.
"Ah!" Qiao Rui's wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and she still grabbed her wrist with such force that it almost crushed her wrist bones.
She suddenly turned around and saw the man looking at her in shock. When he looked at her face, he suddenly woke up and was a little stunned. When he realized what he was doing, deep disappointment flashed across his eyes.
Qiao Rui was shocked. She thought what the man was going to do, but luckily, he let her go.
Qiao Rui first calmed down and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Pei Liyan's voice was cold and he had regained his composure. He said expressionlessly: "It's okay!"
Then, his whole body felt as if he had suddenly been immersed in a glacier, with an aura of indifference all over his body, and he walked forward without looking back.
Qiao Rui looked at his cold back in a daze, but his pace was very fast, with no intention of waiting for her.
Qiao Rui took a deep breath and lowered her eyes at the wrist he had just held. That place was still a bit hot, as if it couldn't cool down.
Pei Liyan didn't wait for her any longer and walked to the door in one breath.
When entering the villa, Feng's mother only saw him coming back, and immediately asked with concern: "Sir, where is the young lady?"
Pei Liyan went upstairs without even turning his head or saying anything.
Feng's mother was startled and didn't dare to ask any more questions. She stretched her head and looked out the door. Fortunately, Qiao Rui came with her.
She immediately said: "Young mistress is back."
"Well, Mom Feng, I'm back." Qiao Rui smiled lightly. "I'm going upstairs first. You should have a rest early."
"Okay." Feng Ma nodded.
Qiao Rui went upstairs and when she passed by Pei Liyan's door, she saw that the door was closed and she breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he returned to the room, before he had time to change clothes, Song Muyu's call came.
"Rui Rui, Pei Liyan found my phone number and insists on calling you. What should I do now?"
Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment: "Did I call you just now?"
"Yes, just now, I put down the phone and called you."
Qiao Rui: "What did he say?"
Song Muyu: "I want your contact information, what should I do?"
