Chapter 156 They want to monopolize her, don’t I want to?

The two were whispering outside the door.

But they didn't expect that there was a camera installed outside the door, which could just see their conversation.

Pei Yi lowered his head and listened to Qiu Manman patiently.

Qiu Manman said seriously, "Did Xiao Zeyu catch you in some way?"

“…”

Pei Yi was silent.

What other evidence could it be? It's just the result of the kinship appraisal.

Xiao Zeyuzhen is Qiu Manman’s biological brother.

If you want to be with your sister in the future, you must get through your biological brother.

Xiao Zeyu said something that Pei Yi felt made some sense.

A relationship that is not blessed by loved ones will not last long.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Qiu Manman became even more curious, "Tell me about it. I promise I won't tell anyone."

Pei Yi hesitated, "It's a little inappropriate. I'll tell you after a while."

"Pei Yi, you are so happy to call me sister, but you are hiding your intentions at the critical moment, right?"

"no……"

"If it's not, why can't you tell me?"

“…”

When asked this question, Pei Yi remained silent.

Qiu Manman felt it was a bit boring again. She couldn't get anything out even after hitting him with a stick.

never mind.

Qiu Manman simply gave up and said, "If it's not convenient to talk about it, then forget it."

"Sister, wait a minute. If you have relatives still in this world, would you choose to recognize them?"

Pei Yi grabbed her wrist.

Qiu Manman turned around quickly, suddenly looked around with caution, and asked earnestly, "Do you have any clues?"

"...I'm just asking casually, what do you think, sister?" Pei Yi was struggling just now.

In the end, I still feel that her opinion is the most important.

He just asked casually first, and then he would decide whether to give Xiao Zeyu a good look.

After all, there is another possibility that my sister doesn't want to go back at all.

If she doesn't want to go back to that home, then her sister will have to depend on him forever.

He can do something without any scruples.

"It depends on whether they have money or not."

Qiu Manman thought seriously for two seconds.

If you don't ignore the fact that she has a second to breathe.

Pei Yi said decisively, "Whoever has money is definitely not as rich as me."

"Forget it then," Qiu Manman refused, "I don't have as much money as you. If I go back and they know that Si Zhuo and I are a couple, won't they want to suck my blood?"

"I don't rule out the possibility. I won't raise a whole family of vampires."

Pei Yi followed up and asked about another possibility, "What if Bi Sizhuo has more money?"

"I'm willing to do it!!"

[Do I need to hesitate? My pursuit of a rich life is ingrained in my bones.]

Qiu Manman couldn't help but follow his words and let her thoughts wander for a while.

Si Chan's dream mentioned a rich girl, who might be herself.

But that's just a possibility.

Thinking too much about illusory things will only trouble yourself, so Qiu Manman doesn't have any extravagant hopes at all.

Maybe it’s because life is so wonderful now.

She did not particularly expect to get the warmth of family.

Pei Yi smiled bitterly, "I understand."

Seeing that he was still unwilling to reveal the secret and it seemed that she couldn't get anything out of him, Qiu Manman had no choice but to give up.

As soon as she entered the door, Qiu Manman looked up and saw Si Zhuo standing in front of her.

"You're standing here eavesdropping?"

"Just arrived." Si Zhuo looked at them with a puzzled expression.

Pei Yi's eyes flashed past them, and he decisively went back to serve Xiao Zeyu.

Xiao Zeyu smiled and drank the water as if it were tea. "Pei Yi, Pei Yi, you are so nice to me all of a sudden. I am very surprised, but I also feel very happy. It would have been better if you had realized this earlier."

"Hmph." Pei Yi snorted coldly as he stood beside him, not even willing to give him a glance.

Xiao Zeyu was not angry either, and glanced at Si Zhuo vaguely from the corner of his eye.

He asked quietly, "Si Zhuo also knows about it, why hasn't he expressed anything yet?"

“…”

"Sit down, Pei Yi. We will have plenty of opportunities to chat together in the future. It doesn't seem right to be so cold and stern to me now, right?"

Xiao Zeyu crushed Pei Yi's self-esteem with just a few words.

Pei Yi sat down reluctantly but still didn't speak.

"How about we make a bet on when Sizhuo will take the initiative to ease the relationship with me?"

Pei Yi: "I don't know Si Zhuo."

"I guess before the end of this show."

Xiao Zeyu was just making random guesses.

He thinks far ahead, and if he switches to Si Zhuo's position, he will understand his attitude.

Why don't you show your kindness?

The reason is very simple. He is Qiu Manman's husband. He has the upper hand now. No matter what, he can discredit the Xiao family at the right time.

By then, will Qiu Manman still be willing to acknowledge her as her relative?

Si Zhuo is quite cunning, he won't let go easily.

Pei Yi observed Xiao Zeyu's expression without moving, and sensed a hint of solemnity.

Pei Yi observed for a day and found that Si Zhuo's attitude towards Xiao Zeyu remained the same, with no change.

No……

If there is a change, Si Zhuo will be more annoyed and Xiao will be relieved.

Could it be that Si Zhuo doesn't want his sister to recognize his relatives?

That night, Pei Yi thought about it and took the initiative to call him.

"Let's meet by the lotus pond."

"Wait for you ten minutes."

After saying that, hang up.

Three minutes later, two tall men stood in front of the lotus pond. The moon was shining on the earth, and fireflies were floating in the air, glowing brightly, embellishing the night scene with lotus leaves and lotus flowers shining against each other.

"Is there anything you want to talk about?" Si Zhuo opened his lips.

Pei Yi said bluntly, "Xiao Zeyu is my sister's biological brother. His purpose in contacting my sister is very clear, he wants my sister to come home."

"We can only keep Sister a secret for a while. Xiao Zeyu will not give up on taking Sister away. Do you know what she thinks?"

"I asked her, and she said she would go back if her biological parents had money."

Si Zhuo's tone was cold, "Pei Yi, you are young, it's normal for you to be a little naive, I don't blame you."

Pei Yi: ???

Why are you saying it again?

Si Zhuo said slowly, "Do you think that after Xiao Zeyu took Manman away, she can still live freely in Beijing? Impossible."

"Xiao Zeyu hopes that his sister will return home and cut off all ties with Beijing."

"And I will never allow her to separate from me."

"The Xiao family wants to monopolize her, don't I want to?"

Pei Yi silently replied in his heart: I want to too.

The two were silent for a while, and Pei Yi showed a calculating smile, "Your analysis just now makes sense."

"In that case, are you willing to cooperate with me? I want my sister to stay in Jing City."

"As for whether she will stay with you or me in the end, let's settle the account after we solve the Xiao family's troubles."

Si Zhuo sneered, "Don't hold me back."

“…”

The next day, the promotional short video was online.

In just half a day, Qiu Manman and Juanjuan's group took the lead.

Just after ten o'clock, Qiu Manman was just standing at the door eating a bunch of grapes, and the ranking changed.

The first place went to Liao Ling's group.
