Pei Liyan’s gaze, silent, looked ahead and settled on the car at the doorway.
It seed he was searching for sothing, and finally, when the car stopped, his eyes focused on the person getting out.
Qiao Rui had changed her appearance and appeared before Pei Liyan, seeing him staring intently at her, her heart turned ice cold.
He had just promised her he wouldn’t ss around anymore, but what then?
She looked at Pei Liyan, worried she might not be able to restrain herself from wanting to hit soone.
Thus, she took several deep breaths to calm her emotions.
Their gazes t.
Then, she saw Pei Liyan start walking towards her.
And He Zheng, Fang Mo were behind him.
Qiao Rui didn’t move, after getting out of the car, she stood still, but she watched as Pei Liyan walked towards her step by step.
As he drew closer and closer, she could almost see the emotions in his eyes.
She gave a faint smile, showing a very indifferent and mocking smile.
But she didn’t speak first.
Pei Liyan approached, looked down at her from his height, scanned her, then finally said, "You still ca after all."
"Yes, I did!" Qiao Rui’s voice changed slightly, sounding a bit more graceful compared to before. "Initially, I thought it unnecessary, but I didn’t want to be a disgusting howrecker, so I felt it necessary to et Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei. Why isn’t Mrs. Pei here?"
Qiao Rui purposely ntioned this to see Pei Liyan’s reaction.
He just smiled lightly, "You want to et my wife?"
"Yes, I want to et her and also ask Mrs. Pei why her husband always likes to bother ?" Qiao Rui said provocatively.
Pei Liyan smiled gently, "Yes, why do you think I want to bother you?"
"Sheer bastardry!" Qiao Rui spoke casually, yet loudly enough for everyone to hear, "Once a person degenerates, there’s no stopping them."
He Zheng and Fang Mo were both stunned.
Pei Liyan’s pupils shrunk several tis but he restrained himself, not stooping to her level.
At this mont, He Zheng ca over and said to Qiao Rui, "Miss Rui, long ti no see!"
"Not really that long," Qiao Rui looked at He Zheng with displeasure. Seeing He Zheng now was even more irritating.
Birds of a feather.
He Zheng was caught off guard, thinking to himself that he hadn’t offended Ruirui, so why was she so aggressive toward him?
He wasn’t embarrassed, just smiled and said, "It’s been a while since we last t."
"eting or not eting you makes no difference to ," Qiao Rui was naturally rude.
He Zheng was stunned again, and if initially he was only suspecting Ruirui’s attitude toward him was poor, now he was certain.
He racked his brains thinking, but couldn’t find any wrongdoing on his part.
The only possibility could be that Ruirui liked Pei Liyan, but since Pei Liyan had a wife, Ruirui redirected her anger toward him.
Yes, that must be it.
He looked at Pei Liyan with a sorrowful expression, thinking to himself that he had done nothing yet was despised, this unfair disdain was too cruel.
"Miss Rui, why the hostility? Did you consu gunpowder?" He Zheng didn’t mince his words and shot back.
Qiao Rui chuckled softly, "Consud dynamite."
He Zheng: "..."
Pei Liyan watched her like this, half-squinting, sizing her up and feeling sohow familiar with this deanor.
The deanor, the aura, were all too familiar.
And at this mont, Qiao Rui also looked towards Pei Liyan, "What do you want? Just say it!"
"The Song Family matter is connected to you," Pei Liyan stated conclusively.
Qiao Rui looked at him with certainty and raised an eyebrow, "Where’s the evidence?"
Pei Liyan replied, "Are you sure you want to talk about this at the door?"
"I don’t mind, we could even talk in your room," Qiao Rui purposefully teased him, "but can you handle that?"
Pei Liyan, hadn’t expected to be teased, his eyes deepened as he retorted, "Do you really want to go back to my room that much?"
Qiao Rui’s face turned red, but she forced herself to remain calm, "Mr. Pei, what exactly do you think won are?"
Standing in front of her, his handso face dazzling, he simply smiled slightly, a calm smile that was enough to startle anyone.
Then, he moved his lips and said, "Believe it or not, I now want to treat you as a friend."
Qiao Rui looked at Pei Liyan and suddenly smiled, "Friend? If there wasn’t a problem with the Song Family, you probably wouldn’t be seeking out, right? By approaching now, you’re trying to use , aren’t you?"
Looking at her sharp and piercing deanor, Pei Liyan simply smiled faintly, "Shall we go inside and have a al together? Talk things over?"
"I’ll pass on the al; I have already eaten," Qiao Rui solemnly declined, "How about you co with outside, and we find a place to chat?"
Pei Liyan paused.
Qiao Rui spoke again, "Just you and , do you dare?"
Pei Liyan simply smiled, "Why not?"
"In that case, let’s take your car," Qiao Rui said.
Pei Liyan turned and signalled to Fang Mo to go start the car.
Soon, the car arrived.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qiao Rui and Pei Liyan drove off.
Jiang Jinfeng and He Zheng were left at the entrance of Ludao.
Neither of them left.
He Zheng said, "Let’s all enter Ludao and wait; we’re not sure when they’ll be back."
Jiang Jinfeng gave a light smile, "It shouldn’t be too long."
He Zheng just smiled.
Jiang Jinfeng and Qi Yun followed He Zheng into Ludao.
anwhile, inside the car.
Pei Liyan drove along the road.
Qiao Rui sat beside him, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, silent.
Pei Liyan glanced at her briefly from the corner of his eye, and after a brief silence, he spoke again, "You’re taking your anger out on Muyu, aren’t you?"
Qiao Rui snorted lightly, "Mr. Pei thinks highly of , but I don’t have such capabilities."
Pei Liyan laughed, "If you didn’t have the capability, probably no one else could make five or six major corporations go against the Song Family. And you, Ruirui, are soone whose identity is even hard to determine. Tell , if you can hide your identity, what can’t you do?"
"Hide my identity?" Qiao Rui chuckled lightly, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "Mr. Pei can’t find out, so how can you say I’m capable? You should say your people are incompetent!"
"Is that so?" Pei Liyan smiled, "How about you give your ID number, and let’s see if I can find you?"
Qiao Rui just tugged at her lips, in no rush to respond.
Pei Liyan said, "You dare not show , because you don’t have an identity at all, right?"
"Mr. Pei, I don’t owe you anything; I’m not obliged to tell you," Qiao Rui was blunt, her words sharp, "And you have no right to ask."
"Can’t we have a proper conversation?" Pei Liyan countered.
Qiao Rui laughed softly. "I’ve always been speaking properly. It’s you, Mr. Pei, sotis warm, sotis cold, how should I act towards you?"
"Tell your real na!" Pei Liyan demanded sternly.
Qiao Rui paused, turned her head to look at him, and without any warning, suddenly placed her hand on Pei Liyan’s leg.
Pei Liyan stiffened completely, and his brow furrowed instantly.
Qiao Rui’s lips curled up seductively, a flirtatious air about her. She leaned close to Pei Liyan and breathed into his ear, "Could it be that you’ve fallen for , can’t stop thinking about , and that’s why you want to know my real identity?"
