Pei Jingzhan reached out, but before he could touch Yan Qiao, she withdrew her hand.

He has always held absolute power and is used to controlling everything.

But he had absolutely no way to deal with Yan Qiao.

Pei Jingzhan closed his eyes briefly. "I'm sorry, Qiaoqiao. I waited for so long, but I had to let you know in the worst possible way."

He did not refute Shiloh's accusations because he disdained to explain.

But how could he convince the girl in front of him that his feelings were never feigned?

Yan Qiao bit her cheek and then let go.

“You are Pei Xiang’s uncle, her own brother.”

"yes."

"You came for the interview because you don't want me to be with Shiloh."

Pei Jingzhan remained silent for a moment.

"At first it was, but..."

Yan Qiao interrupted, "You only need to answer yes or no."

Pei Jingzhan felt a bitter taste in his throat.

"yes."

"You think I'm not good enough for Shiloh."

Pei Jingzhan's jaw tightened, and the veins on his hands bulged.

My face hurts.

“He’s not good enough for you.” His voice was hoarse.

Yan Qiao raised her head, her eyes already red and filled with tears.

But she stubbornly held back her tears.

She just looked at him like that, her lips trembling slightly.

"fraud!"

"Qiaoqiao." He reached out his hand, but Yan Qiao slapped it away, leaving a red mark on the back of his hand.

Yan Qiao turned her face away, "Move out tomorrow, you're fired!"

She kicked the chair behind her away and strode out with a tense expression.

Pei Jingzhan gripped her arm, his face extremely gloomy.

Even the most challenging projects in the company had never left him feeling so helpless.

Neither coaxing nor scolding works.

His voice was tense: "Even a death row inmate deserves a chance to plead his case, doesn't he?"

Yan Qiao coldly brushed his hand away and turned to stare at him.

"Then tell me, you're not Master Pei! Or tell me, when you first approached me, you didn't have any ulterior motives or thoughts, at least nothing to do with Xi Luo! Your identity is fake, your bankruptcy is fake, even your name is fake, so what's real! Tell me what's real!"

Yan Qiao didn't want to cry, but the tears just wouldn't listen and kept flowing down her face.

She wiped her face hard, feeling that speaking in a trembling, crying voice was not cool at all.

"The feelings are real!" Pei Jingzhan felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Yan Qiao is very strong and never sheds tears easily.

Even after being cut by a carving knife, he can still laugh and say it's just a minor injury.

She's crying now; she must be heartbroken.

“My name is Pei Jingzhan, and my courtesy name is Bingjun. It was given to me by my late grandfather. I’m not lying to you.”

Yan Qiao scoffed, mocking, "I should thank you for not giving me a fake name?"

Pei Jingzhan closed his eyes. "His age is also real."

Yan Qiao scoffed without hesitation: "Even if it's fake, it can't be that young!"

Pei Jingzhan: "Qiaoqiao, I was wrong. A lot of it was fake, but liking you is real, wanting to marry you is real, and wanting to spend my life with you is real. Even if you want me to marry into your family, I won't say a word."

Those who follow the Chenwu teachings are quick to admit their mistakes.

Yan Qiao sneered, "Marry into my family? I don't want a liar who's always lying to marry into my family! If I don't kick you out tonight, you'd better move out tomorrow! You're fired!"

After saying that, he slammed the door shut and ran out.

I don't want to look him in the eye for even a second longer.

Pei Jingzhan knew that this moment would eventually come.

He thought he was prepared, but he was helpless and at a loss; it was a terrible situation.

Pei Jingzhan went outside and sat silently in the courtyard.

More than Yan Qiao's anger, he was concerned that Yan Qiao was crying.

Is she hiding in her room crying now?

Pei Jingzhan looked up at the sky, feeling utterly defeated.

For some reason, Lu Qi walked in from outside.

The palace lanterns that Yan Qiao made added light to the courtyard, and she spotted Pei Jingzhan's figure at a glance.

"Mr. Pei, what are you doing here?"

Pei Jingzhan: "Enjoying the moon."

Lu Qi looked up and saw that it was a cloudy day.

"Then please enjoy your time."

"Wait a minute," Pei Jingzhan called out to her.

Lu Qi turned around. "Is there something you need, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Jingzhan said stiffly, "Go and check on Qiaoqiao for me, see if she's crying."

Lu Qi was taken aback, "Cry?"

She quickly recalled what she had said to Yan Qiao earlier that day.

Is there really a problem?

"Mr. Pei, you..."

Pei Jingzhan didn't want to say more: "It's troublesome."

Lu Qi nodded and went inside.

Just as she reached Yan Qiao's door, she heard her angry voice: "Pei Xiang! We're breaking up, starting today! You actually helped your uncle lie to me! Are all the Pei family dogs? No wonder you've been flirting with me for so long, and even a kiss is like you're a virgin. You won't even let me sleep with you! Tell me, am I being taken advantage of?! I curse your uncle to be a virgin for life and live to ninety-nine!"

Lu Qi shuddered. What a vicious curse!

After Yan Qiao finished calling Pei Xiang, she started calling Xi Luo.

She didn't even let go of Ruan Cha, whom she had encountered some time ago.

One or two of them, who usually call each other "sister" and "brother," act like idiots when it really matters.

Lu Qi walked out silently, and she didn't look like she was about to cry.

"Yan Qiao... she didn't cry, she seems to be in good spirits."

When he curses, especially at Pei Jingzhan, he's incredibly powerful.

"Mr. Pei, why don't you try to appease her?"

The thing Yan Qiao regrets most is that she never slept with Pei Jingzhan, which shows how obsessed she is with this matter.

If I don't win her back, I'll probably stay single until I'm ninety-nine.

Pei Jingzhan was taken aback. He didn't cry?

"What is she doing?"

Lu Qi: "Swearing."

Pei Jingzhan: "..."

It goes without saying who was being insulted.

"Thank you, I understand."

Lu Qi didn't disturb him any longer while he was admiring the moon, and turned around and went back to her room.

Pei Jingzhan gave a helpless, bitter smile, touched his pocket, and thought of smoking.

She then remembered that he hadn't smoked in a long time, and Yan Qiao didn't like it.

He sat on the ground, letting the dew fall on his body.

He didn't know how long he sat there, but his legs went numb before he got up and went inside.

Yan Qiao's eyes quieted down in her room; she was just tired of cursing.

Pei Jingzhan returned to his room, but did not sleep all night.

I searched through all the dating guides Li Qiao gave me, but still couldn't find a solution.

He was about to be kicked out by Yan Qiao, so how could he possibly coax her?

After staying up all night, Pei Jingzhan got ready and went out.

He, who was once full of vigor, seemed a little dejected today.

Shen Wu noticed it immediately and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Third brother, what's wrong?"

When he saw Yan Qiao's cold face, and that she didn't even glance at Pei Jingzhan, he understood.

"Holy crap, it backfired? I told you, you can't lie to girls!"

Pei Jingzhan gave a cold laugh, "Don't lay a hand on your third uncle, it's rude."

Chenwu: "..."

Xiao Yunqi and Chu Xiting rushed over to watch the drama unfold: "Did it really backfire?"

Oh ho.

Even Master Pei experienced heartbreak one day.

Yan Qiao walked over with a cold face, "You four, get out of here right now!"

Chen Wu: "...We are guests."

Xiao Yunqi: "What does it have to do with us if Third Brother lies to you?"

Chu Xiting: "Same as above."

Yan Qiao coldly curled the corners of her lips, "Because of a troublemaker! He's fired, and you all leave too!"

Shen Wu wasn't angry; instead, he laughed and patted Pei Jingzhan on the shoulder.

"Third brother, you're a troublemaker."

Pei Jingzhan glanced at him and said, "Then what are you, shit? You're not even as good as a stick."

Chenwu: "..."
