Half an hour later, Qiao Shu came to the coffee shop wearing sunglasses.
"Is this Miss Qiao? Madam Pei is waiting for you in the private room."
As soon as you enter the door, a waiter will lead the way.
In the private room, a beautiful lady was drinking coffee with a decent posture, her long black hair was tied up, and her eyes, similar to Pei Shi'an's, were full of alienation.
"Ms. Qiao, please sit down."
Ye Nanzhu nodded slightly, motioning her to sit opposite.
"Mrs. Pei, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Qiao Shu sat down as a matter of course, took off her sunglasses, and met her scrutinizing gaze without fear.
Are you kidding? Ye Nanzhu's hostility is too obvious.
Ye Nanzhu chuckled, put down the cup in her hand, and got straight to the point. "It seems that Miss Qiao is a little different from what I imagined. In that case, let me be honest. I invited you here because I want you to leave my son."
It's really expected.
"What if not?"
She is very principled and the two-year deadline has not yet expired.
"Don't be so hasty to refuse. I know that a man like Shi An is hard to refuse, but it's impossible for you two to be together. Your background has long been exposed. As the adopted daughter of the Qiao family, you are not qualified to enter our Pei family. Oh, even if you were the Qiao family's biological daughter, to be honest, our Pei family would not look down on you. So, for your own good, don't get involved. Leaving at that time will only make you more sad."
Ye Nanzhu took out another check from her bag and pushed it in front of her. "Of course, it was my family's Shi An who caused this. I will pay for it."
Qiao Shu took a glance and said, wow, a check for six million.
Without hesitation, Qiao Shu pushed the check back and said, "I think Mrs. Pei has misunderstood."
Ye Nanzhu raised her eyebrows, her eyes cold, "Miss Qiao, do you think the money is too little?"
"Yes, the money is indeed a little less."
Qiao Shu nodded in agreement, "I didn't expect Pei Shi'an to be worth only six million."
"How much do you want?"
Ye Nanzhu frowned and asked her with disdain, thinking that Qiao Shu was a gold digger.
"It's not about money. Honestly, I don't plan to marry Pei Shi'an. There's no need for you to ask me to back out."
The two-year agreement is over, and it’s not certain whether we will be together anymore.
Ye Nanzhu was stunned. Seeing her calm expression, as if she really didn't care, she couldn't help but feel a heart attack. "What do you mean? What's wrong with our Shi An? Do you know how many girls from famous families want to marry him?"
"What does it have to do with me? If you want to get married, then get married. I have no interest in getting married right now. I'm more focused on my career. Besides, there are so many big trees out there. Why bother hanging on one tree?"
Qiao Shu said seriously.
Ye Nanzhu was about to doubt her life, and asked her in a daze, "You, are you saying something sarcastic, deliberately diverting my attention? Since you said that, shouldn't you have left Shi An earlier?"
"Why do you want to leave? We're getting along well right now. We're just dating. It's our freedom. I'm talking about whether we'll be together in the future. Madam Pei, don't worry about that."
Qiao Shu looked at her like a fool.
Ye Nanzhu felt suffocated and slammed the table. "Qiao Shu, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. I'm giving you money and letting you leave because I think highly of you. I want you to end your relationship immediately and stay away from him."
"Our legs and feet are on our bodies, so I'm sorry, it's hard for us to obey your orders."
"you!"
"Mrs. Pei, your words are useless to me. I don't listen to anyone. Do you think you, an outsider, can restrain me?"
Qiao Shu didn't want to waste any more time. She stood up and said finally, "If you want to persuade someone, go persuade Pei Shi'an. He is your son. As for me, it's not your turn to control me."
After saying that, without caring about Ye Nanzhu's ugly expression, she put on her sunglasses and left.
She didn't drink a sip of the coffee on the table.
Even when calling people, he always called them Madam Pei, which showed even more alienation than her.
Ye Nanzhu was so angry that she bit her lip, took out her cell phone and made a call.
When Qiao Shu returned home, Pei Shi'an was already wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.
His tall figure seemed a bit out of place in the kitchen, and he didn't look like the domineering president who was decisive and efficient outside at all.
"Qiao Qiao, you're back? A little later than expected, just in time for dinner."
Pei Shi'an brought the dishes to the table and invited her to come and eat.
Qiao Shu washed her hands, sat down obediently and started eating.
The dishes cooked by Pei Shi'an are relatively light, which is just right for her weight loss.
"I thought you would be home before me."
"I got home before you, but someone is looking for me."
"I'll look for you as soon as I get back to City A? Mei Xinyan?"
Qiao Shu bit her chopsticks and shook her head, saying, "No, it's not her, it's your mother!"
At first, I thought Qiao Shu was cursing someone.
Pei Shian put down his chopsticks, frowned, and asked, "My mother came to see you?"
"Yeah, she even gave me a check for six million and asked me to leave you."
Qiao Shu started to tell tales with a clear conscience.
"Don't bother with her. It's not her turn to meddle in my affairs."
Pei Shi'an's eyes turned cold, and he seemed a little distant and indifferent towards his biological mother.
"You know what, turning down six million is a little painful."
"The money I gave you is not more than six million?"
Pei Shi'an narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Of course you gave more, so I'm rejecting it, right?"
Qiao Shu scooped a bowl of soup and sipped it. "Besides, it's just a relationship, not marriage. She's really overthinking it."
Don’t want to get married?
Pei Shi'an's eyes grew darker, and he snorted softly, "You're quick to distance yourself from this. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but don't worry, it's not her turn to decide who I marry. If she comes looking for you again, just call me and I'll handle it."
"Is your relationship with your mother so bad?"
Qiao Shu blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at him, feeling a little curious.
"Um."
Pei Shi'an pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "When I was young, my father had a scandal. At that time, my mother had just given birth to me and was in a bad mood. After being stimulated, her behavior became strange. The first time, she gave me a bath when I was a child, and then walked away, forgetting that I was still in the bathtub. That time, I almost drowned. The second time, she broke down and almost strangled me to death. It was the nanny at home who noticed something was wrong and saved me in time. The third time, I had just started elementary school and my test paper was one point away from 100. She was very angry and threw me outside. It was raining heavily at the time. I was caught in the rain for half the night and fainted in the yard. After being found, I had a high fever for three days and three nights and almost didn't wake up. The fourth time..."
Qiao Shu held his hand, looked at him with some heartache, shook her head, and signaled him that if he didn't want to say it, he didn't have to continue.
