Chapter 42
Qiao Ye actually didn't have much to do in Country M. Her and He Shanyi's company had already gotten on track, so she just stayed at home every day, raising cats or going out for a walk.
If Kang Lening hadn't suddenly appeared in front of her, she would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.
The boy sat in her little garden very familiarly.
"What are you doing here?" Joe also asked.
"Why, you can't come if you're fine? You're really impatient with your friends then."
"I thought you would be busy thinking about how to return home now."
Hearing her words, Kang Lening laughed, "Hehehe," "You don't need to worry about this matter. I naturally have my own plans, don't you agree?"
As he spoke, Kang Lening blinked at her, as if trying to prove that what he said was right.
"I'm not interested in your affairs." Qiao said lightly.
"Of course you're not interested in my affairs. But what about Pei Qing's affairs?"
The boy's words made Qiao Ye's eyes narrow slightly, as if considering the truth of his words, "What do you mean?"
"Of course it's just the superficial meaning." Kang Lening said as a matter of course.
"If you come here just to tell me some meaningless words, then this is not a trash can. I can't listen to your black mud."
Qiao Ye's words had a serious implication of driving people away.
Based on his understanding of the woman in front of him, if he didn't tell her the purpose of coming here, she would probably tell him to get out.
So he put away his cheerful smile and said seriously, "I just got the news that Pei Qing might be going to Scolado University."
Kang Lening's words undoubtedly made Qiao frown. She sounded slightly skeptical, "Scholastic University's annual tuition is around $100,000. Even if you choose to work part-time while studying, monthly living expenses are still a considerable expense. Furthermore, the university's scholarship system is very strict, and it's only awarded before Christmas each year. Forget about anything else, who will pay for her first year's tuition?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a name flashed through her mind, and she stopped talking instantly.
Seeing that she had anticipated something, Kang Lening grinned happily, "You seem to have some guesses? Why don't you tell us so we can compare them and see if your guesses are consistent with the truth."
Qiao Ye slowly raised his head and said calmly, "It's Xiaochen, right? Did Pei Qing go to find Xiaochen?"
Although it was a question, she used an affirmative tone.
One hundred thousand dollars a year is not something that an average family can afford.
In Pei Qing's social circle, only she and Xue Xiaochen could have such financial resources.
But she didn't receive Pei Qing's contact information, so it could only be that she made a deal with Xue Xiaochen.
"Hahahahahahahaha, it seems our Miss Qiao is very smart. She guessed it so quickly."
"Why did she suddenly come to Country M?" This is Qiao Ye's biggest question now.
When she returned to China, Pei Qing never showed any intention of coming to Country M.
How come she got a place at Scolido University so quickly?
I'm afraid Xue Xiaochen also had his hand in this.
But she has always disliked interfering in other people's affairs, especially since she and Xue Xiaochen are childhood friends.
Even if she was curious, she would not ask easily.
"I don't know about that." Kang Lening shrugged. "Well, I came here today just to tell you about this."
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by someone behind him.
"Wait a moment."
"Hmm? Do you have anything else to ask?"
"How did you know this?"
"Huh?" Kang Lening pointed at himself, "Me?"
"What else?"
"Of course it's because my cousin asked me to help this person here. Then I did a little research and found out about your previous relationship with her." The young man said as if it was a matter of course.
"I don't like other people investigating me." Joe said lightly.
"Don't look at me so seriously. I didn't mean to investigate you. After all, wasn't I investigating Pei Qing?" The young man shrugged. "If you really mind, then I won't do it next time. What do you think?"
"Heh..." Qiao also chuckled, but her voice was still cold. "You'd better do what you say."
"Hahahahaha, there's nothing I can't do when I promise others. Oh, by the way, Pei Qing should be arriving in Country M soon. I think you need to consider whether to help her. After all, lawyers can be very important to you sometimes."
"I'll consider your suggestion."
After Kang Lening left, Qiao also played with his mobile phone, not knowing what he was thinking about.
She had an indescribable feeling towards Pei Qing.
The situation between the two of them was so special that she still hadn't put Pei Qing in a proper position.
They can't be called enemies, but they can't be called friends either.
Of course, their relationship did have a relatively close period before.
At that time, both of them had their own ulterior motives, but they had to admit that that period was the best time.
Thinking of this, Qiao also sighed. She originally wanted Pei Qing to develop in the country. Once Pei Qing graduated from Scolido, her future would not necessarily be limited to the capital.
Especially since she owed Xue Xiaochen such a huge amount of money.
Compared to these, she was more interested in what made Pei Qing make such a major decision in such a short time.
This is definitely a very powerful catalyst.
For her, this was just a matter of words, but she wanted to hear it from Pei Qing's mouth.
She put away her phone. It would take some time for Pei Qing to arrive in Country M, so she had enough time to prepare for what was to come.

Pei Qing looked at the woman beside him with a complicated expression. She was wearing a white suit and looked neat and tidy.
"This..." She opened her mouth, seeming a little hesitant.
Xue Xiaochen turned around and said, "This is the simplest way. You've never been abroad before, so you don't know much about it. The rent in Country M is very expensive. Xiaoye's place is the best choice for you."
"But she may not know that I'm going to study in Country M."
"No, she already knew." The woman said in a light tone, "She knew it as early as the day after you came to see me."
Although she had already expected this, she was still a little disappointed when she actually heard it.
Her original plan was not to let Joe know.
"Of course you have the right to choose to rent an apartment, but you have to understand that rent is a considerable expense for you every month."
"I...I understand." Pei Qing lowered his head and said, "I will go find Miss Qiao...Miss Qiao."
"Yeah. She'll meet you at the airport gate."
Pei Qing got out of the car. The window of the low-profile car behind her slowly rolled down. The woman, wearing huge sunglasses, turned to look at her and said, "I wish you a safe journey and academic success."
Hearing the words coming from behind, Pei Qing turned around, eyes filled with gratitude, and said, "Thank you."
After watching her enter the airport, the window of the black car slowly rose up.
Only Xue Xiaochen and Uncle Li were left in the car.
Uncle Li looked at the woman through the rearview mirror and said, "Miss, we are going to..."
"Let's go to Kang's Group. My uncles are already getting ready to make a move. It's time to give them a crack."
Uncle Li: "Okay."
The car slowly drove away from the airport.
"Why did Miss tell Miss Qiao?"
He originally thought that this matter would not be told to Qiao Ye.
"Xiaoye should know about this." Xue Xiaochen propped up his head and looked at the trees moving backwards outside the window. "After all, Xiaoye and I are on the same page. Shouldn't she get to know our future lawyer?"
"So that's how it is." Uncle Li nodded.
"Uncle Li." The woman called him.
"I'm here. Any instructions, miss?"
"How long do you think it will take Xiao Ye to get Qiao Yang out of the house?" Xue Xiaochen looked at his reflection in the car window and smiled slightly. "I'm a little curious."
"Miss Qiao has always been decisive in her actions. I'm afraid it won't be long."
"I think so too. I can't imagine Qiao Yang being backstabbed by his only daughter. It will definitely be a great show."
The car fell silent again.

Pei Qing ascended the throne pulling his suitcase.
In this kind of weather, she was wearing long sleeves, which could easily attract other people's attention, but fortunately she was not asked to take off her coat when going through security check.
This gave her a slight sigh of relief.
He pulled up his long sleeves to cover the scarred arms beneath them.
Of course, she didn't seek cooperation with Xue Xiaochen for no reason. This was the quickest way she could think of.
After checking in her suitcase, she went to the bathroom, where the cool water cleared her mind a lot.
Xue Xiaochen insisted that she go find Qiao Ye. She didn't know what she meant, but at least Qiao wouldn't do anything to her.
Her collar had opened at some point, revealing faint scars.
The man in the mirror looked like a perfect elite, if one ignored the scars of all sizes all over his body.
This was her first time on a plane. Before that, she looked up a lot of travel guides and barely managed to avoid making a big fool of herself.
She buttoned her clothes to the top button, and the white shirt covered the marks. She tidied herself up briefly and came out of the bathroom. She still had fifteen minutes before boarding the plane.
Wait in line to board the flight.
The plane was flying in the sky, and Pei Qing looked outside with surprise.
The azure sky and soft white clouds are scenery they cannot see from the ground.
So this is what it feels like to fly on an airplane?
She pursed her lips, her eyes obsessed, as if she wanted to imprint all of this deeply in her mind.
