177 I Saw About Pei Jingzhou’s News Four Years Ago
Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. “Then doesn’t that an you’ll be in your forties when you get ho?”
Qiao Qiao looked hopeless. “I don’t think I’ll have to wait that long.”
Li Xiwu said, “Huh?”
Qiao Qiao looked even more hopeless than before. “I saw Qiao Jingmo recently.”
!!
“Qiao Jingmo?” Li Xiwu was slow to react for two seconds. “Your little uncle? He ca to the capital?”
Qiao Qiao nodded in a muffled voice. “Yes.”
Li Xiwu could tell that Qiao Qiao was afraid of Qiao Jingmo to a certain extent, and Qiao Jingmo’s personality was similar to Pei Jingzhou’s. That was why Qiao Qiao kept a respectful distance from Pei Jingzhou every ti she saw him.
She ended the topic and said, “I’ve never heard you ntion anything about your family before. Why are you telling so much about your family today?”
In the past, if Qiao Qiao didn’t want to ntion it, Li Xiwu wouldn’t pursue the matter. Because every ti Qiao Qiao’s family was ntioned, Qiao Qiao’s face didn’t look very good.
Li Xiwu was indeed very surprised today. But at this mont, Qiao Qiao suddenly sat up straight and turned to look at Li Xiwu.
Li Xiwu: “?”
Qiao Qiao swallowed as if she was giving her last words. “I hard Qiao Jingmo in Xingzhou in the past. Now that he’s in the capital and knows where I live, it’s equivalent to exposing the major artery in my neck to him.
“Bae, if you suddenly can’t contact or can’t find one day, rember to watch the news imdiately.
“For example, a headless female corpse was fished out of a river, or a female living alone was killed at ho. When you see news like that, if it’s confird that it’s , rember to call the police the next second and inform my parents to co and collect my corpse. I’ve been wandering outside for three years. I don’t want to be wandering outside even if I die.”
Li Xiwu: “…”
Qiao Qiao looked like she was serious. She even gave Li Xiwu her parents’ contact details. “Bae, rember this number.” After a pause, Qiao Qiao said, “If anything happens to , you don’t have to avenge . I won’t let him off even if I beco a ghost.”
Li Xiwu: “…”
After staying for so long, Qiao Qiao was ready to go back.
Li Xiwu asked Qiao Qiao to stay for a al.
Qiao Qiao replied, “I’m afraid I’ll choke to death in advance when I’m at the sa table as President Pei.”
Pei Jingzhou was at ho today, so Li Xiwu didn’t force Qiao Qiao to stay. However, seeing Qiao Qiao’s ntal state, she suggested, “Why don’t you stay in the small courtyard recently? I’ll co over and accompany you tonight.”
Qiao Qiao looked honest. “I didn’t tell you. Actually, I moved in last night.”
Li Xiwu stifled a laugh. She walked Qiao Qiao out the door. As she was about to enter the elevator, Qiao Qiao suddenly rembered sothing Li Xiwu had instructed her to do. She turned around and said, “The thing you asked my friend to investigate…”
Li Xiwu gestured to Qiao Qiao. “Go back first. We’ll talk on WeChat.”
Although Pei Jingzhou was inside, it was better to be careful than to be careless.
Qiao Qiao understood what Li Xiwu ant and left first. When Li Xiwu returned, she saw that Pei Jingzhou had already co out of the study and was putting on an apron to enter the kitchen. She walked over. “Fourth Brother is cooking personally again?”
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “Again?”
Li Xiwu smiled and did not reply.
After Pei Jingzhou entered the kitchen, Li Xiwu followed. Seeing that she was leaning against the side with no intention of going out, Pei Jing smiled. “You’re already standing here. Why don’t you praise your husband?”
Li Xiwu smiled brightly. “Then what praise do you want to hear, Fourth Brother?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “It depends on you.”
Li Xiwu propped her chin on her hand and thought for a few seconds. She praised seriously, “As a man, you are like Emperor Qin.”
Pei Jingzhou looked up at her.
Li Xiwu smiled slyly. “Fourth Brother doesn’t like this?”
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “Could there be a next sentence?”
“There is.”
Li Xiwu slowly moved to Pei Jingzhou’s side and looked at the appetizer that Pei Jingzhou had just mixed. While Pei Jingzhou was preparing other side dishes, she quietly took her favorite hot sauce and secretly placed a spoonful of hot sauce into the appetizer.
As she poured the hot sauce, she even spoke, trying to hide her sneaky behavior. “If being handso is a cri, then Fourth Brother is already guilty. What do you think of this praise?”
This hot sauce was not spicy. One spoonful felt a little lacking, so she prepared to put another spoonful in. Pei Jingzhou ca over and took the spoon from her hand. “I already turned a blind eye when you poured the first spoonful. You actually wanted to put in a second spoonful?”
Li Xiwu smiled awkwardly. “My hands don’t listen to .”
Pei Jingzhou touched her face and smiled helplessly. “Be good.”
When Pei Jingzhou found out that she had added hot sauce, she thought that Pei Jingzhou would throw the entire bowl of appetizer and make it again. But he didn’t.
In the end, he still indulged her.
She stood quietly at the side and watched Pei Jingzhou put on an apron and cook. After looking at him for a long ti, she thought that if she ignored everything else and just looked at what he was doing for her now, wouldn’t it be as the saying went? The sll of the mortal world touched the hearts of mortals the most?
“Fourth Brother.” She spoke suddenly.
Pei Jingzhou was mixing the soup and replied, “Mhm.”
Li Xiwu asked, “Do you know Qiao Jingmo?”
Pei Jingzhou slowly stopped mixing the soup and looked at her sideways.
Li Xiwu said, “I was just asking.”
Pei Jingzhou said, “Xingzhou is very far from the capital. The Pei Corporation doesn’t have much business contact with Deep Blue.”
Deep Blue was the Qiao family’s company and the largest company in Xingzhou.
Li Xiwu asked, “What about his character?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “I’m not sure.”
Typically, this answer was perfunctory. However, Li Xiwu clearly felt that Pei Jingzhou was not patronizing her. He really did not have much contact with Qiao Jingmo of Xingzhou, so he did not know what kind of person the other party was.
...
She had thought that Qiao Qiao was exaggerating. Now she was a little worried about Qiao Qiao. She turned away from the kitchen and found her phone to send Qiao Qiao a ssage. There were unread ssages. When she opened them, she saw that twenty million had been transferred.
Han Qianye was not joking. She had really given her 20 million yuan.
Li Xiwu digested this fact, then opened WeChat. Qiao Qiao had already sent three WeChat ssages.
Qiao Qiao: [file format]
Qiao Qiao: [Extract code: 5789]
Qiao Qiao: [That’s what my friend found out. Take a look first. Tell if you think sothing’s wrong, and I’ll look for her. Even if there’s a discount, this money can’t be spent for nothing, right?]
Li Xiwu typed a reply: [How much did this information cost?]
Qiao Qiao: [Don’t worry about it.]
Li Xiwu smiled. Qiao Qiao was afraid that she would transfer the money to her.
Qiao Qiao sent another WeChat ssage: [Investigating President Pei is easily intercepted. That friend said that she will only investigate this ti and won’t take on any more orders in regards to President Pei.]
Li Xiwu pursed her lips and wondered if Pei Jingzhou already knew that soone was investigating him this ti. But since she had already found out, she would read it first.
...
She clicked on the file. When she quickly browsed through it, she was stunned by so information—
