Lu Qi was speechless for a moment after seeing Yan Qiao's actions.

"So, none of the things you bought today are for Third Master?"

Yan Qiao said matter-of-factly, "Of course not, these are all mine!"

Lu Qi: "...You spent so much of their money."

That must be in the tens of millions, right?

Yan Qiao stroked her chin and asked, "What's the market value of Xunyue?"

Lu Qi: "Is it even possible to compare like this?"

Yan Qiao then asked, "How much money do you think Pei Bingjun earns in a year?"

Lu Qi really didn't know.

I heard that Pei Jingzhan owns the majority of Xunyue's shares. The second branch of the Pei family did some bad things and was kicked out of the Pei family.

The eldest branch of the Pei family doesn't manage affairs; their annual dividends alone amount to more than they could ever spend in a lifetime, so they don't bother with it at all.

As for Pei Jingzhan...

It is said that before he returned to manage the family business, he had already built up a considerable business empire outside.

He then invested in new energy research and development with Shen Wu and others, and established a domestic automobile brand, focusing on new energy.

He even has a stake in Chu Xiting's technology company.

It can only be said that poverty limits imagination; she simply couldn't fathom how rich Pei Jingzhan must be.

Thinking about it this way, what Yan Qiaohua gave must have been nothing more than a drizzle.

"I think you could buy some more."

Oh no, she's been led astray by Yan Qiao.

Yan Qiao chuckled and took out her phone.

"I've placed a lot of orders online, they haven't arrived yet. I'll make an unboxing video for everyone when they arrive."

Lu Qi: "..."

It's too early to say that.

She was about to open the gift Yan Qiao had given her when she saw a message come in on her phone.

Chu Xiting's original WeChat name was his name, but he has now changed it to "No reconciliation, no change of WeChat name".

He even came over happily to ask her if she liked it.

Lu Qi: "..."

Lu Qi: [Where did you learn that?]

No reconciliation, no changing WeChat name: 【[Image] That's just how Brother San is.】

Lu Qi was speechless, then clicked on the picture to take a look.

Of the four people in the group, besides him and Pei Jingzhan, even Xiao Yunqi changed his WeChat name to "I won't change my WeChat name until I catch up with him".

Lu Qi showed the picture to Yan Qiao, who was not surprised at all, except that she was somewhat interested in Xiao Yunqi's name.

Who is he chasing?

Lu Qi shook her head. "I don't know."

I heard that Xiao Yunqi is a womanizer and loves to flirt with women; he doesn't need to pursue girlfriends himself at all.

Yan Qiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration—she knew who this scoundrel was chasing!

She quickly messaged Ruan Cha, asking if Xiao Yunqi was pursuing her.

Ruan Cha: [How did you know?]

Yan Qiao told her to look at Xiao Yunqi's WeChat name.

She was like a worried old mother, earnestly advising Ruan Cha.

Yan Qiao: [Xiao Yunqi is such a peacock, all he does is show off his feathers all day, he's completely unreliable! He's dated at least eighty or a hundred girlfriends, you can't say yes to him!]

Ruan Cha: [[Well-behaved.jpg] I know.]

Although she had a crush on Xiao Yunqi for many years, she had also watched him accumulate a long list of romantic entanglements over the years.

Even the deepest crushes eventually wear off, so naturally, one won't easily agree to a relationship.

If he just wanted to play a love game, she certainly wouldn't agree.

Xiao Yunqi was unaware that Yan Qiao had become the biggest stumbling block on his path to love.

Time flies, and the college entrance examination is just around the corner.

On that day, Yan Shu and Shi Yuehua wore cheongsams, which was considered auspicious, signifying a successful start.

The whole family personally escorted Yan Qiao into the examination hall.

Yan Qiao stood at the door for a while, not in a hurry to go in, her gaze seemingly sweeping around.

She only smiled knowingly when she saw a car parked on the side of the road, then turned and went into the examination room.

She vaguely recalled the last time she took the college entrance examination, she was just as confident.

However, an unexpected incident occurred in the middle.

Yan Qiao received a lot of attention from the moment she entered the examination room.

Someone secretly took the photos and posted them online.

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is a major event that attracts a lot of attention and is a must-see event on social media every year.

The release of Yan Qiao's photos further fueled the hype surrounding the incident.

"Mom, we'll stay here and keep watch. You and Dad should go back first," Yan Shu said.

This sun is so strong that even sitting in a car with the air conditioning on isn't very comfortable, let alone standing here waiting.

Shi Yuehua said, "There's a milk tea shop over there, let's wait there."

Yan Shu thought it was a good idea, so the family headed over there, worried that there might not be any seats left if they were late.

When I got there, I found out that the milk tea shop had been booked out for the past two days.

Yan Shu was taken aback. "You can book out an entire bubble tea shop?"

Boss: "There's really nothing I can do, he gave me too much."

Yan Shu's family: "..."

They were originally planning to go to another store, but as soon as they came out, the owner chased after them.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. That person would like to invite you upstairs to rest. Or would you like to order a milk tea? I'll bring it up to you later."

His place isn't big, but it's a small duplex with two floors.

Yan Shu and the others thought that since the other party had booked the entire venue and was still willing to give them a rest, they should naturally thank them in person.

She ran upstairs and froze.

Pei Jingzhan was holding a cup of milk tea that was completely out of character for him, and he was looking at them blankly.

He quickly stood up.

"Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, please have a seat."

Shi Yuehua felt a bit conflicted. Not long ago, Pei Jingzhan used to call her "aunt."

She's a grandmother now.

"Are you escorting someone to the exam quietly?" Yan Shu asked.

Pei Jingzhan nodded.

It has to be said that Pei Jingzhan treated Yan Qiao exceptionally well.

Aside from making a mistake at the beginning.

Yan Shu asked in surprise, "Why didn't I see you just now?"

Pei Jingzhan: "I didn't get out of the car. As long as she knows I'm here, that's enough. I'm afraid of bothering her."

But Yan Qiao saw him before she entered.

Shi Yuehua's worries completely disappeared. Being older has its advantages; they are considerate.

Pei Jingzhan successfully won the hearts of two female elders, but left the other two surnamed Songs fuming.

They're not so easy to please.

Pei Jingzhan glanced at Grandpa Song and said with a smile, "I heard that Grandpa has a lot of knowledge about antiques. I recently acquired a Xuande incense burner, but I don't know if it's genuine. I'd like to ask Grandpa to take a look at it later."

The old man's eyes lit up. "What year?"

Pei Jingzhan curled his lips, "Naturally, only those from the Xuande period can be called genuine Xuande incense burners."

Although the later imitations were also valuable, they were far less valuable than the Xuande censers from that period.

The old man hurriedly asked him to bring out the pictures, and Pei Jingzhan pulled up the video for him.

He then turned to Song Yinsheng and said, "Uncle Song, I have a copy of 'Mingxin Baojian' here. It's a translated manuscript in Spanish, and it's quite old. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Song Yinsheng's expression changed; this book was the first ancient text to be translated into a Western language.

These ancient books are hard to find, let alone ancient translated manuscripts.

"You've put your heart into this. I'll take a look later."

Strange, why do I suddenly find Pei Jingzhan pleasing to the eye?

Yan Shu rolled her eyes. These two were no match for her; they could be easily bribed.

"Pei..." Yan Shu didn't know how to address him for a moment.

Pei Jingzhan then said, "You can still call me Xiao Pei, just like before."

Yan Shu: "..." He couldn't bring himself to say it; this title really didn't suit him.

"I'll call you Jingzhan. If you're busy, you don't need to stay here. We're here."

Pei Jingzhan smiled faintly, "It's alright."

Previously, he had no choice, but from now on, he will not be absent from any major event in Yan Qiao's life.
