Emerging from the dressing room, Yan Qiao asked again, "Who was the distinguished guest you mentioned earlier?"

Jin Lu smiled smugly, "There aren't many people who can be called distinguished guests by our Lao Yao. It's the Third Master of the Pei family in Yancheng. Yan Qiao, you used to be in the industry, you should have met him before, right?"

Yan Qiao: "...I've never seen him before. I don't often attend banquets, so I've never had the chance to see Third Master's true face."

I'm not really interested in it.

Needless to say, it's impossible for Pei Jingzhan's photos to be leaked online.

Can someone please explain who Master Pei is?

[Go search "Dudu" yourself; this person has an entry, they're the boss of Xunyue.]

【Wow, I heard she's only thirty!】

[For Jin Lu to treat someone with such solemnity, their status must indeed be of high rank.]

Jin Lu covered her mouth and smiled, "You'll see it soon, and you'll have to thank me."

Yan Qiao curled her lips slightly, showing no interest.

She and Jin Lu didn't have much to talk about; it was mostly Weng Yun who did the talking.

Weng Yun is more tactful and not obsequious, but she always manages to hit Jin Lu's sweet spot and make her happy.

Bored, Yan Qiao took out her phone and sent a message to Pei Jingzhan.

Yan Qiao: [Do you think business partners who get to meet with Third Master Pei in person would rent an apartment?]

JZ: [It's hard to say, everyone has different preferences.]

Some people don't like buying a house and choose to rent instead.

Yan Qiao: [But he rented my house!]

JZ: [Where did you visit today?]

Yan Qiao: [Yes! The house was badly damaged; both the hard and soft furnishings were destroyed! I'm so angry!]

JZ: [Contact Xiao Li later and tell him not to rent to them and to make them compensate you.]

Yan Qiao had also considered his suggestion.

But she had other things to do, so she thought she'd talk about it later.

Yan Qiao: [I don't want to stay for dinner, but Jin Lu wants me to stay and serve the guests for her. She's treating me like a hostess.]

JZ: [Who is the guest?]

He sneered, wanting to see who had such a big face.

Then Yan Qiao replied: 【We were family 800 years ago, Third Master Pei! What a huge honor! You come as a guest and expect me to accompany you? Tsk! You're worse than an animal! I'm still a student!】

Pei Jingzhan: "..."

JZ: [There's no need to rush to scold; there might be a misunderstanding.]

Yan Qiao: [What misunderstanding could there be? That shameless old man!]

Pei Jingzhan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger as he opened Li Qiao's chat window.

JZ: [What happened at the lunch party?]

Li Qiao: [Third Master, you're amazing! I hadn't even had a chance to tell you, how did you guess it?]

JZ: [Enough with the nonsense.]

Li Qiao then gave a brief and concise explanation.

Today, Pei Jingzhan will be having dinner with Lin Kuan, the chairman of Huaxing.

We had originally arranged to meet at a restaurant, but later I contacted him again and he said we would meet at Yao Wanchang's home instead.

Li Qiao: [It's said that Chairman Lin really likes the popular actress Weng Yun, so Yao Wanchang specially invited Weng Yun and another minor star to accompany him.]

JZ: [Heh.]

Li Qiao: [???]

Li Qiao looked at what he had just said. He had only just learned the news and hadn't had time to think about it carefully.

After thinking for a moment, he quickly searched Yan Qiao's schedule and found out that she had visited Jin Lu's house today and was with Weng Yun!

The case is solved! The minor celebrity is actually Yan Qiao!

Yao Wanchang is a real scoundrel; Yan Qiao is still just a little girl!

This is like kicking a hornet's nest.

Li Qiao: [I immediately contacted Chairman Lin...]

JZ: [No need, cancel the dinner.]

Moreover, Pei Jingzhan emphasized that Huaxing should assign someone else to handle the matter.

From now on, this guy surnamed Yao is not allowed to set foot in Xunyue again!

Li Qiao raised an eyebrow, looking quite the part of someone who would risk everything for a woman.

Then Pei Jingzhan replied to Yan Qiao: "No, Pei San won't go."

Yan Qiao: [Are you sure?]

JZ: [Confirmed. That's not a proper place. Yao Wanchang's boss likes Weng Yun, so he asked you to accompany him.]

Yan Qiao immediately gripped her phone tightly; so that's what he was up to with such a despicable idea.

She immediately messaged Li Wang, asking him to handle the matter of the house.

Even if you leave it unoccupied, don't rent it to this kind of person.

She not only wanted to kick people like Yao Wanchang out, but also to make them compensate for their losses.

Jin Lu noticed that Yan Qiao's expression was off and asked, "Yan Qiao, what's wrong?"

Yan Qiao shook her head. "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious, will Third Master Pei really come?"

Jin Lu chuckled, "Of course, would my husband lie to me?"

"How do you know he won't lie to you? There are only so many powerful families in Yancheng, and I've never actually heard of anyone with the surname Yao."

Jin Lu felt a lump in her throat. "You haven't heard of it? That's because you're ignorant."

Yan Qiao then asked, "What does your husband, Lao Yao, do? Which company does he work for?"

Jin Lu was speechless. Yao Wanchang disliked her meddling in official matters and never told her.

Even after getting married, she still didn't know what Yao Wanchang did for a living.

This was the only time he heard that Weng Yun was also there, and he specifically instructed that he should keep the two of them and bring the distinguished guests home for dinner.

"You'll find out when Third Master Pei arrives."

[Hmm, I have a feeling Yan Qiao knows something.]

After that, Yan Qiao didn't say anything more, and the living room fell silent.

Jin Lu immediately stood up when the doorbell rang.

"It must be Third Master!"

Overjoyed, she quickly went to open the door.

Weng Yun glanced at Yan Qiao, "Do you really think it could be Third Master Pei?"

Yan Qiao shook her head, her tone firm: "No."

Weng Yun looked at her in surprise until Jin Lu asked in astonishment, "Who are you?"

She looked over and saw a completely unfamiliar man standing in the doorway.

Li Wang looked up and made sure he hadn't gone to the wrong place.

"Hello Mrs. Yao, my name is Li Wang. I am the landlord's assistant and I help her with chores."

Jin Lu laughed incredulously, "What nonsense are you talking about? I bought this house! Where did this landlord come from?"

Seeing how certain she was, Li Wang would have thought he had gone to the wrong house if he hadn't brought the property certificate with him.

"This is not nonsense. You are renting this house, not buying it. Our landlord no longer wants to rent the house to you, so please move out as soon as possible."

He brought not only the property ownership certificate but also the lease agreement.

When Jin Lu saw the three words "Yao Wanchang" on the contract, her expression changed drastically.

"I don't believe you! This contract is definitely forged! Get out of here right now, or I'll call security!"

Jin Lu shoved Li Wang a few times.

Li Wang had dealt with this kind of thing countless times, and his emotions remained very stable.

He smiled and said, "It seems Mrs. Yao is unaware of this. Why don't we give Mr. Yao a call and I'll speak to him personally?"

Jin Lu was naturally unwilling. There were cameras behind her, and if Yao Wanchang really rented the house, wouldn't she lose all face?

"I don't know you, please get out of here now!" she shrieked.
