After talking with Zhang Yufan for a while, Yan Qiao was about to leave with Shi Yuehua.

Xiao Mingyin suddenly walked over.

"I haven't thanked you yet for standing up for me earlier."

Yan Qiao was surprised and puzzled: "To avenge you?"

Xiao Mingyin slightly raised her chin, "But I have to tell you, even if you speak up for me, I still won't like you!"

Yan Qiao: "...You're really overthinking it. My dislike for Xiao Changyin has nothing to do with you, because I don't like you either."

Xiao Mingyin bit her lip and snorted.

"Keep being stubborn, I know you want to be my friend!"

"hehe."

Pei Jingzhan, who was watching this scene from upstairs, glanced at Xiao Yunqi.

Tell your sister to stay away from Yan Qiao.

Xiao Yunqi touched his nose. "She likes you, but she knows her limits. It's still early, shall we go for a drink?"

Pei Jingzhan chuckled, "I won't drink."

Xiao Yunqi laughed speechlessly, "How long has it been since you went out for a drink?"

She's not married yet.

Pei Jingzhan said with great pride and smugness, "You single dogs would never understand. I have to go pick up my wife."

Xiao Yunqi: "...You called her too early. She's not your wife yet."

"It's only a matter of time."

Then, Pei Jingzhan got out to drive the car.

Li Qiao, who was with him, asked, "Third Master, what should I do?"

Pei Jingzhan glanced at him and said, "Take a taxi back."

Li Qiao paused, looking at him with a mournful expression: "Third Master..."

Pei Jingzhan suddenly stopped and turned around to look at him.

Li Qiao was moved; he knew Pei Jingzhan wouldn't abandon him.

Immediately afterward, Pei Jingzhan said coldly, "Don't follow me, or you'll give yourself away in front of Yan Qiao."

Li Qiao: "..."

Ha, capitalists who have no humanity!

He mentally drew countless circles to curse him.

After hurting Li Qiao, Pei Jingzhan was in a good mood and drove his car out of the parking lot.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Chen Wu and his group squeezed in.

Pei Jingzhan's face darkened, especially when he saw that Shen Wu actually wanted to sit in the passenger seat, he kicked him.

"Get out, this is Yan Qiao's seat."

Chen Wu laughed, "Third Brother Pei, have some decency!"

Pei Jingzhan sneered, "No respect for elders, call me Third Uncle."

Chen Wu: "...Who wants to ride in your car? I'll have my wife pick me up!"

He immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Xu Ran.

Chen Wu: [Wife, that dog Pei Laosan won't take me home. Are you coming to pick me up? [Kiss]]

Xu Ran: [Get lost.]

Chenwu: [Okay [crying loudly]]

Pei Jingzhan raised an eyebrow. "Is your wife coming to pick you up?"

Chen Wu's face darkened. "I feel sorry for my wife. I'll go back by myself!"

After they chased him away, there were two more behind him.

Pei Jingzhan turned around and said, "You two get out too."

Xiao Yunqi said lazily, "Don't say that, Third Brother, neither of us has a wife to pick us up."

Chu Xiting corrected, "Brother Wu has a wife, but he didn't answer."

Pei Jingzhan frowned. "Get out."

Xiao Yunqi: "If you don't see us off today, we're no longer brothers!"

"roll!"

Chu Xiting: "You value romance over friendship."

"roll!"

Finally, both of them were also driven off.

Xiao Yunqi was cursing at Pei Jingzhan's car when Yan Qiao's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Young Master Xiao... what are you doing?"

Xiao Yunqi's voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly met Yan Qiao's gaze.

Yan Qiao suddenly remembered the stingy man who refused to help at the Xi family banquet last time, and it seemed that this was the same man in front of her.

She still holds a grudge.

The look in Xiao Yunqi's eyes suddenly turned unfriendly.

Xiao Yunqi: "???" He doesn't know Yan Qiao, does he?

Pei Jingzhan rolled down the car window, revealing his handsome face.

"quietly."

Yan Qiao's eyes lit up with surprise, "Why did you come here?"

"I came especially to pick you up."

Xiao Yunqi scoffed, "A man's words are just a bunch of lies."

Before Yan Qiao could even feel happy, she heard him utter a "Heh".

She frowned and turned around. "Young Master Xiao, do you have some complaints about him?"

Pei Jingzhan gave him a coded warning glance and said quietly, "Maybe my family went bankrupt, so he looks down on me."

Xiao Yunqi's face turned a deep shade of liver. He was so damn looked down on!

"I……"

Pei Jingzhan raised an eyebrow, a sharp glint in his eyes.

He was forced to take the blame: "Yes, I look down on him."

Yan Qiao was just about to teach Xiao Yunqi a lesson when she heard Ruan Cha's voice: "Qiao Qiao!"

Yan Qiao exclaimed with delight, "Cha Cha!"

Ruan Cha went abroad for further studies some time ago, and the two haven't seen each other for a while.

Ruan Cha rushed over and hugged Yan Qiao, kissing her several times, which made Pei Jingzhan and Xiao Yunqi's faces darken.

When did you get back?

Ruan Cha said, "I just got back. My mother came here to attend an auction, and I came to pick her up. Xi Luo also asked me to bring you a gift, which I will give to you later."

Yan Qiao smiled and nodded, "Come stay at my courtyard house for a few days, we haven't seen each other in a long time."

"OK!"

After exchanging a few words with Yan Qiao, Ruan Cha finally noticed Xiao Yunqi's presence.

Her smile faded slightly, but she couldn't contain her excitement: "Brother Yunqi."

Xiao Yunqi nodded. "You're back."

Yan Qiao pulled Ruan Cha aside and whispered in what she thought was a secret, "You know him?"

Ruan Cha nodded, "He's the boy next door I mentioned to you."

Yan Qiao asked in surprise, "Is it your crush?"

Ruan Cha's unrequited love was a bittersweet one, because the object of her affections was a playboy who had been with many women.

Yan Qiao had always thought that men who didn't uphold male virtues were bad, but now...

She turned around and glanced at Xiao Yunqi with a look of disgust.

Xiao Yunqi: "..." He swore he wasn't mistaken; Yan Qiao's gaze was as if she were looking at trash.

Yan Qiao shook her head and pointed at Xiao Yunqi, saying, "Cha Cha, that won't do!"

Ruan Cha was taken aback. "What?"

What do you see in him?

Ruan Cha hesitated for a moment: "...She's good-looking."

"Tsk! Being obsessed with looks is no good! People like him have bad character."

Afterwards, Yan Qiao told Ruan Cha in detail what happened at the Xi family's dinner party last time.

She never imagined that her attraction to Pei Jingzhan was solely for his looks.

Ruan Cha asked in astonishment, "You're not mistaken, are you? Is it really him?"

"It's him! He even looks down on my friend whose family went bankrupt! This kind of sycophantic, backstabbing person isn't worth your crush!" Yan Qiao angrily accused.

Ruan Cha's expression was complicated: "It can't be that serious, can it..."

In her memory, Xiao Yunqi was a nice person.

Yan Qiao grabbed her hand, "That's because you haven't seen his true colors!"

Knowing that Pei Jingzhan was still waiting nearby, she quickly gave him a few instructions, telling him to stay away from Xiao Yunqi.

Then he said, "I have to go home now. Let's meet another day and have a good chat."

Xiao Yunqi gave a cold laugh. They'd already said a whole bunch of bad things about him and pinned some unknown accusation on him. What was there left to talk about?

Yan Qiao got into the passenger seat, and Ruan Cha then saw who was driving.

Ruan Cha: "!!!"

She couldn't help but rub her eyes. Third Master Pei!

"It's not a dream..." she murmured to herself.

"Quietly," she couldn't help but call out.

Yan Qiao turned around. "What?"

Ruan Cha swallowed hard, avoiding Pei Jingzhan's gaze. She simply stared at her, her face blank, and asked, "This... is your friend whose family went bankrupt?"

Yan Qiao nodded vigorously, "Yes, I'll introduce you to someone next time. He's a very nice person. Remember to come to my house to play."

Ruan Chaxin trembled. This was the most terrifying horror story she had ever heard in her life. Third Master Pei was a very good person.

She waved her hand stiffly.

"goodbye."
