"Lou Xinyue wants me to marry her in exchange for marriage, which means I want her to marry you..."
Qiao Zhiyi confessed.
Pei Zheng looked at Qiao Zhiyi in surprise.
The whole person was stunned!
At this time, Qiao Yufei came out and said, "Wow, I've been looking for you in there for a long time. Yan Hai said you were out. Where did you go?"
Pei Zheng suppressed the shock on his face and said calmly, "Director Han asked me to have tea and talked about something..."
Qiao Yufei quickly introduced Qiao Zhiyi, "This is Pei Zheng. Did you guys just talk about this?"
Qiao Zhiyi said, "As soon as you entered, a little thug came up to talk to me. He looked annoying..."
"Who is it? I'll beat him to death. He even dares to tease my own sister. Does he want to die?"
Qiao Yufei was filled with righteous indignation and was about to explode. He hated himself for taking so long in there. Ahhhh——
He almost got his beautiful little sister hurt.
He is guilty!
Qiao Zhiyi laughed and said, "He's been chased away by Deputy Director Pei."
Qiao Yufei thanked Pei Zheng profusely, "Brother Pei, thanks. Who was that guy just now? I'll beat him up next time I see him!"
"Sun Mazi!"
"Okay, okay, I'll remember it." Qiao Yufei rubbed his hands together, ready to beat up that Wagua next time he saw him.
Then he introduced her to Pei Zheng, "This is my sister, my biological sister, Qiao Zhiyi. Xinyue isn't coming back now. She said she's getting married in the city, so..."
"So what?" Pei Zheng's gaze fell on Qiao Zhiyi's crabapple-like face.
Qiao Zhiyi's thin voice was as sweet as nectar, "So I'm here on behalf of the Qiao family to break off the engagement with you..."
Qiao Yufei: “…”
Oh no, is it that simple?
Pei Zheng was also stunned.
The reason why I was stunned for a moment.
Because it was clearly said before that it was a marriage exchange, so how come it has become a broken engagement now?
Qiao Zhiyi explained, "The marriage exchange was just wishful thinking on the part of the Lou family, but marriage must be based on affection between two people. We've never met before, so it's a bit premature to talk about marriage. However, canceling the engagement would be very rude of you. I wonder if there's anything I can do to compensate you?"
Qiao Zhiyi asked sincerely.
Pei Zheng's unruly eyes met her clear and pure almond-shaped eyes, and his voice was calm, "No..."
Qiao Yufei didn't know what to say.
I just feel more embarrassed than ever before.
First, Xinyue ran away just before the wedding, and now her younger sister came and asked to cancel the engagement directly. Qiao Yufei was too embarrassed to face Pei Zheng.
But he also knew that the current situation was not Qiao Zhiyi's fault, and she should not bear the consequences.
Qiao Zhiyi's gaze suddenly fell on Pei Zheng's left arm.
His left hand was hanging down all the time, and it seemed that he couldn't use any strength.
Lou Xinyue also always said that he was a useless person.
Pei Zheng naturally noticed Qiao Zhiyi's look and subconsciously moved aside to block his disabled hand. "Lou Xinyue should have told you that I'm disabled."
As such, he doesn't want to delay others.
So he could accept the cancellation of the engagement.
Qiao Yufei quickly explained to Qiao Zhiyi, "This was caused by an injury he sustained while on duty in the army. He's had surgery, but his arm just doesn't work..."
Qiao Zhiyi nodded.
Being a soldier is indeed a high-risk job!
Xie Changrong was also injured while on a mission, and then... hey...
Qiao Zhiyi took the initiative to go over and hold his forearm.
This sudden action obviously caught Pei Zheng off guard. He froze, his breathing became heavier, and he looked at Qiao Zhiyi's face incomprehensible. "What are you doing?"
Her white hands were soft, with a rare coolness in June, which made him feel strange.
