Chapter 38

Qiao Rui felt that Pei Liyan did it on purpose.

He put the responsibility on himself because he wanted to see himself embarrassed in the Qiao family.

If grandpa knew that he was the one who said not to let Pei Liyan support the Qiao family, he would kill himself.

He just wants to see himself unlucky so that he can calm down his unbalanced mentality of marrying an ugly girl like himself.

Sure enough, Pei Liyan is not a good person.

But after thinking about it carefully, Qiao Rui also felt that since she had said this, it was appropriate for others to make a fuss out of her words.

He must always be looking for a reason, otherwise, he would have done the things that offended others by himself.

That didn't seem to do him any good.

It was rare for him to come over and have a chat with me.

She didn't expect him to be kind to her.

When Pei Liyan saw the change in Qiao Rui's application, he was shocked, angry, and unwilling at first, but later became relieved and slowly calmed down.

It seems like everything has been figured out.

Pei Liyan said calmly: "Then it's settled, just say you won't let me."

What else could Qiao Rui say?

She now fully understands that she is a sandwich cookie.

The tool that the Qiao family can use is also the Qiao family's punching bag.

As for Pei Liyan, he is a shield.

After figuring it out, Qiao Rui felt very calm.

"what ever."

He looked at Qiao Rui in silence for a long time.

"If nothing happens, can I close the door?" Qiao Rui asked again.

Pei Liyan said in a calm voice: "Okay, no matter what, thank you for being willing to be this shield."

Qiao Rui looked at him, with a hint of mockery in her eyes behind her spectacles.

This man behaves well when he gets an advantage.

"Mr. Pei, you're too polite. I should thank you for giving me the qualification to be a shield."

The man squinted his eyes and seemed to understand the girl's sarcasm through his lenses. "You told your grandfather that if you pushed this matter forward, I can reward you with five hundred thousand pocket money."

Five hundred million and five hundred thousand.

This comparison is so ironic.

"No need, Mr. Pei should keep the money for retirement." Qiao Rui said, "I'm afraid I'll feel pain after you reward me."

After saying that, she pulled her lips slightly and closed the door.

Seeing the sarcastic words and expression the girl said before closing the door, Pei Liyan frowned.

It's been less than ten minutes since the door closed.

Qiao Rui received a call from Mr. Qiao.

The old man of the Qiao family directly poured out his anger on Qiao Rui.

"I heard that you blocked Pei Liyan's funding for the Qiao family, right?"

When Qiao Rui heard this, she knew that Pei Liyan had just returned to the room and called the old man to discuss the matter.

So the old man called me late at night to accuse me.

When Qiao Rui heard it, she didn't have the same understanding as the old man. She didn't really take it to heart at all.

"Grandpa, Pei Liyan said yes."

"What do you mean, Pei Liyan just said yes? I just want to know if it was you who stopped it."

Qiao Rui said calmly: "Grandpa, I am just a shield. Do you think I still need to marry Pei Liyan if everything counts?"

With just one word, Qiao Rui shut up the old man.

He fell silent on the phone.

Qiao Rui waited quietly and didn't speak in a hurry.

Mr. Qiao pondered for a long time and then said: "Qiao Rui, please remember that you are a member of the Qiao family. No matter in the past or now, you are a member of the Qiao family. We share the honor and disgrace of the Qiao family. You must

participate."

Qiao Rui only found it funny. She had never participated in the glory of the Qiao family in the past, and the decline of the Qiao family was not the result of her involvement.

Now, Grandpa tells these things to himself, but Qiao Rui feels quite ironic.

But she didn't make any rebuttal.

"Don't think about sitting on the sidelines. As a child of the Qiao family, it will not do you any good if the Qiao family goes bankrupt." Mr. Qiao said solemnly.

"I know, Grandpa." Qiao Rui said.

When Mr. Qiao heard that she did not refute him, his tone softened slightly, and he still tried to persuade Qiao Rui to do Pei Liyan's work.

"The Qiao family now needs some funds to make a comeback. This project is related to the honor and disgrace of the Qiao family. You should go talk to Pei Liyan and ask him to give us 500 million in financial support. Moreover, if this project is successful, it will also be good for the Pei family."

"Grandpa, Mr. Pei is not the kind of person who is easily persuaded." Although Qiao Rui's voice was calm, her attitude was very firm and she could not help.

"You work hard, grandpa believes in you, you will definitely succeed." Mr. Qiao said.

Qiao Rui felt that Mr. Qiao was simply trying to make things difficult for others. If the Pei family was really beneficial, Pei Liyan would not leave the profitable business alone.

He refused to provide financial support, believing that the project was not favored by Pei Liyan.

Grandpa said this, a bit overestimating his abilities.

The Qiao family is gradually declining now, probably because grandpa does not have enough eyesight.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Rui locked the door and went to wash up.

She took off the facial mask on her face, made a facial mask, replenished it with water before putting it back on, and lay on the bed to sleep.

Early the next morning.

When she went downstairs, she saw Pei Liyan sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs, reading a tablet.

Feng's mother is already preparing breakfast.

The villa is very quiet.

Qiao Rui walked down the stairs, and Pei Liyan happened to look up and saw the ugly rough glasses on her plain face, and frowned.

As his eyes moved downward, he landed on the girl's loose clothes. These clothes did not reveal any of her body lines, and also covered up her only advantage, her good figure.

All in all, it looks very village-like.

"Good morning, Mr. Pei." Qiao Rui said hello first.

"Morning." Pei Liyan nodded slightly.

He sat on the sofa, waiting for Qiao Rui to ask for help.

He called and rejected Mr. Qiao last night, guessing that Mr. Qiao must ask Qiao Rui to beg him.

However, until breakfast, Qiao Rui ate quietly and did not mention this matter at all.

This surprised Pei Liyan very much.

He couldn't help but take another look at Qiao Rui.

The girl is holding the chopsticks, her slender fingers are white and stylish, which is quite beautiful.

She lowered her eyes, lowered her head and ate quietly without saying a word.

Looking at this situation, I have no intention of demanding anything from myself.

Pei Liyan raised his eyes inadvertently several times, frowning at the girl's lowered eyebrows.

He wanted to see when Qiao Rui would speak?

It's not like Qiao Rui didn't notice that the man's sharp gaze always fell on her body and looked at her several times.

She was a little embarrassed to be seen, so she pretended not to notice and continued eating.

Who would have thought that Pei Liyan would actually speak directly. "Did your grandfather look for you?"

Qiao Rui paused and had to raise her eyes to meet the man's gaze.

He looked at himself, his eyes falling very sharply on his face.

Qiao Rui had no choice but to say: "I found it."

"Are you embarrassed?"

"No." Qiao Rui said.

"Actually, if your grandfather gives you trouble, you can tell me."

Qiao Rui smiled faintly and asked, "Then let you see the joke?"
