Mr. Pei frowned: "Is there really an agreement between you?"

Qiao Rui said calmly: "It's not an agreement."

"Then what do you mean?" Mr. Pei asked displeasedly.

"I told you to ask your grandson, it's no use asking me." Qiao Rui didn't want to parrot: "I'm just a chess piece. I don't have the final say where the chess player wants to go."

Mr. Pei was stunned, and his deep eyes swept over Qiao Rui's face. The little girl was so calm.

Then, he took the tea sent by Feng's mother and took a sip unhurriedly: "Since you know that you are a chess piece, you should have the consciousness of a chess piece."

"Yes!" Qiao Rui said calmly: "Qiao Rui will follow Mr. Pei's teachings."

Mr. Pei choked, looked at Qiao Rui, and snorted again: "It would be strange if you could listen to me."

Qiao Rui lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the light under her eyes.

This is true, she doesn't like to listen to other people's arrangements.

Mr. Pei couldn't see the expression on Qiao Rui's face. He just felt that the black-rimmed glasses were too ugly and the hair was messy, making him look very uncomfortable.

"Take out your marriage certificate and show it to me," the old man said again.

Qiao Rui nodded, went upstairs to get the marriage certificate, and came back to show it to the old man.

The old man looked at the photo, then at Qiao Rui, and said, "Although this photo is ugly, at least it looks better than you do now. Take off your glasses."

Qiao Rui sighed in her heart, the old man was here to cause trouble.

Fortunately, she had already prepared it, otherwise, everything would have been exposed.

Qiao Rui took off her glasses and faced Mr. Pei calmly.

Mr. Pei glanced at Qiao Rui and immediately frowned. He originally thought it was a problem with his glasses, thinking that he would look better if he took them off.

But after taking it off, the face is still unremarkable.

Especially when she has her eyelashes hanging down, she has no energy at all and gives the impression that she has not woken up.

The old man felt a little strange. This girl was very energetic when she refuted him just now, but she didn't look energetic at all.

This appearance really disappointed the old man so much that he made no attempt to hide it and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Qiao Rui, you really wasted your parents' good genes. How did you end up like this?"

When she mentioned her parents, Qiao Rui was stunned and raised her eyes to look at the old man.

At that moment, a certain brilliance seemed to flash in her eyes, a light that made people wonder.

In an instant, this girl gave people a strange feeling, as if she suddenly became more agile.

People look a lot more pleasing to the eye.

But, if I look carefully, I still think it's too ugly.

Qiao Rui didn't expect that the old man would mention her parents. She rarely heard news about her parents. Now that she heard something from the Pei family's old man, she couldn't help but be excited.

"Do you know my parents?"

"I watched your dad grow up." Mr. Pei noticed Qiao Rui's excitement, his eyes flashed, and he said, "That's an outstanding person. It's a pity."

"What's a pity?" Qiao Rui asked.

"What's a pity?" The old man smiled playfully: "Girl, why don't you tell me what Pei Liyan agreed to you, and I will also tell you some old things about your father?"

Mr. Pei had already noticed that Qiao Rui was curious about her father.

Therefore, he wanted to use this as a breakthrough to know Sun Tzu's plan.

When Qiao Rui heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, "If you want to make a deal, that's not necessary. I have nothing to say."

"Don't you want to know about your father?" Mr. Pei asked with a half-smile.

"Of course I do." Qiao Rui raised her eyes and looked at him calmly. Under the sharp gaze of the old man, she slowly put on her glasses.

"Then you still refuse to exchange information?"

"Mr. Pei, if you insist on wasting your time on me, then I can only say that I have let you down." Qiao Rui said frankly: "I have nothing to say."

"Then you just don't want to know about your parents?"

"I wanted to do it at first, but I don't want to do it now. Qiao Rui knows very well that pie will not fall in the sky."

"Your temper is very similar to Pei Liyan!"

"I'm not like him."

"Oh?" Mr. Pei's eyes flashed with interest: "Do you know him?"

"I don't know, but I just know that I am different from him."

"When you two insist on one thing, there are some similarities." The old man picked up the tea again, took a sip, put down the cup and said, "That's all, your marriage won't last long anyway, so I don't need to ask any more questions."

I couldn't ask anyway.

The old man stood up and prepared to leave.

Qiao Rui lowered her eyes: "Please walk slowly."

Mr. Pei looked at her again and said, "Girl, how old are you?"

"Twenty-two years old." Qiao Rui said.

"Twenty-two years, time flies so fast!" Before Mr. Pei left, he sighed longly and said, "What a pity, your dad!"

When he finished saying this, Qiao Rui felt particularly sad.

She really wanted to know about her father, but the old man wouldn't tell her.

After watching Mr. Pei leave, Qiao Rui sat on the sofa and didn't move for a long time.

Her plain brows were covered with a layer of coldness, as if she had been hit by Mr. Pei, and her eyes were also frighteningly gloomy.

Feng's mother was worried that she, a girl, would be overwhelmed by the old man saying so many unpleasant things, so she immediately stepped forward to comfort her: "Madam, please don't take it to heart."

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Feng's mother who looked worried.

She twitched her lips and said, "Thank you, Mom Feng, I'm fine."

Feng's mother naturally didn't believe it, but she still comforted Qiao Rui: "Actually, the old man was attracted to the eldest daughter of the Qiao family."

Qiao Rui said nothing. This was not the first time she heard the news.

Qiao Yufei said it before.

But she didn't say anything. Feng's mother thought that Qiao Rui was angry, so she quickly explained: "But sir, he may not like the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. Since he has chosen you, he must like you."

Qiao Rui was so happy.

She didn't expect that Feng's mother was so kind and would comfort her like this.

Because she knew that Pei Liyan would never like an ugly girl like herself. The so-called choice of herself was just a choice that was most helpful to him after weighing the pros and cons.

that is it.

She knows it very well.

She is not a nymphomaniac and is very sober.

Naturally, I don’t daydream.

"Madam, why are you laughing?" Feng's mother was even more worried, thinking that Qiao Rui was sad.

Laughing like this is so scary.

"Don't be sad."

"Feng Ma, I'm not sad. Thank you for comforting me, but I'm fine." Qiao Rui comforted Feng Ma instead. "Pei Liyan didn't choose me because he liked me, and I won't be his wife for too long, so naturally I won't

Sad, don’t worry about me, I’m really fine.”

Feng's mother was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

Later, Feng's mother called Pei Liyan about the old man's visit.

He also truthfully reported Qiao Rui’s reaction.

Pei Liyan was surprised.
