Pei Jingzhan sneered, "Who told you that?"
Yan Qiao shrank back and remained silent.
Seeing her like this, Pei Jingzhan could easily guess what was going on.
Pei Xiang.
Yan Qiao rolled her eyes. "I didn't say anything."
Pei Jingzhan immediately called Pei Xiang, "Explain to me clearly what you said to Yan Qiao!"
Pei Xiang was so frightened that she immediately explained, "Uncle, this is not my fault, Yan Qiao misunderstood! I said that you are a bad person, not that you are bad in that area."
Yan Qiao pricked up her ears to listen. "Bad character?" That didn't seem like a compliment.
Pei Jingzhan was almost driven to the point of liver failure by these two people.
"Is my character bad?" He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Pei Xiang wished she could cut her tongue off. "Oh no, I've blurted out the truth."
Pei Jingzhan casually tossed his phone onto the table, suppressing his anger: "Explain to her yourself whether I'm capable or not!"
Pei Xiang: "..."
Yan Qiao: "..."
After saying that, Pei Jingzhan realized that he had spoken recklessly out of anger and felt a headache coming on.
Pei Xiang wailed, "Uncle, how would I know if you're up to it? You're thirty years old, and I've never seen you bring a girlfriend home, not even a boyfriend! One of the ten unsolved mysteries of our family to date is your sexual orientation!"
"Pei! Xiang!" Pei Jingzhan gritted his teeth.
Very well, you're dead.
Pei Xiang immediately hung up the phone and packed her things to flee overnight.
Pei Jingzhan looked up and met Yan Qiao's gossipy gaze.
He was so angry he lost his temper. "I'm not gay."
Yan Qiao nodded. "I know you're not. Do you want to go and rest? Older people can't handle stress."
Pei Jingzhan pinched the bridge of his nose. "Just stop making me angry."
Yan Qiao blinked innocently, "Your niece made you angry, not me."
After their bickering ended, Yan Qiao opened Weibo to check the number of likes on the video.
I was surprised to find out that the paparazzi had uploaded the video of Zhang Shuyun angrily rebuking Yan Shu for mistreating her mother-in-law to the internet last night.
Because of Yan Qiao's previous lawsuit against a marketing account, people are a bit hesitant and dare not easily forward this message.
After all, the situation with Shi Yuehua last time was reversed not long after.
However, some marketing accounts are still testing the waters, just in case the topic goes viral.
Since this is a profession, one must have a spirit of adventure.
However, Yan Qiao's story has seen too many twists and turns, and many people are in a wait-and-see state, so the popularity is not too high.
Yan Qiao called Yan Shu.
"Mom, don't pay attention to those things online."
Yan Shu sighed, "I've already told your grandfather, and he's planning to fire Zhang Shuyun. But Zhang Shuyun has disappeared somewhere, and we haven't seen her yet."
No sooner had Yan Qiao finished speaking than she heard a knock on the door.
She hadn't even had time to install a doorbell yet, but the knocking from outside could be heard so clearly here, which shows how hard they were knocking.
"Mom, I'm not talking to you anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Yan quietly walked outside.
Pei Jingzhan got up and followed, "What is it?"
Yan Qiao said, "I don't know, someone knocked on the door."
Upon opening the door, they were surprised to find Zhang Shuyun standing there.
"Yan Qiao! You really were here!"
Yan Qiao looked her over and said, "Grandma Zhang, what are you doing here? My grandfather is looking for you."
Zhang Shuyun's face paled, and she stammered, "What do you want with me? Oh, never mind that for now, just get someone to release my nephew!"
"Nephew?" Yan Qiao frowned.
Pei Jingzhan leaned against the door, casually stretching out his legs, and ate some melon seeds.
"It must be that thief from today."
Zhang Shuyun immediately retorted: "My nephew is not a thief!"
Yan Qiao suddenly realized, nephew? But that thief kept calling her "Mom"!
Zhang Shuyun's most frequently uttered phrase in front of others is, "I have served the old man for so many years."
Everyone thought that she had never married and had devoted herself to serving the old man.
Therefore, Grandpa Song always felt a bit soft-hearted towards her.
But if Zhang Shuyun had a son, things would be different.
"Yan Qiao, my nephew came here seeking refuge with me, please let him go!"
Yan Qiao chuckled, "He broke into my house and picked my lock. You want me to let him go? What does it have to do with me that he came to you for refuge? What right does he have to break into my house! Have you ever thought about the dangers that might occur to me, a girl living alone, when he just barged in like this?"
Zhang Shuyun was taken aback. "We're all relatives, how can you say it's an intrusion?"
"Grandma Zhang, I'm not related to you, so how could I be related to your nephew? He failed in his theft attempt, so at most he'll be detained at the police station for a few days. Nothing will happen to him. You should go back and take care of your own business first," Yan Qiao kindly reminded her.
She probably doesn't know yet that she's lost her job.
Zhang Shuyun was both angry and anxious. "My nephew is still in jail, how can I just stand by and do nothing! Yan Qiao, I'm begging you, please!"
As she spoke, she tried to kneel down and beg Yan Qiao.
Yan Qiao dared not accept her kneeling and quickly hid behind Pei Jingzhan.
"Grandma Zhang, you're spreading lies and falsely accusing my mother of mistreating my mother-in-law. I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you still want me to let your son off the hook? You wish!"
Zhang Shuyun, oblivious to the trap in his words, pleaded, "As long as you're willing to let him go, I don't want the house anymore! I won't bother with you anymore!"
If she had known it would turn out this way, she wouldn't have listened to Yan Yaoyao in the first place.
Now I haven't even received the goods, and I've lost money myself.
Yan Qiao laughed, "So, he really is your son! Grandma Zhang, you've been ruining my grandfather's reputation everywhere, saying you remained unmarried for him, which is clearly false! Your son is already so old; it's likely he was already married when you started working as a nanny at the Song family."
Zhang Shuyun realized she had been exposed and quickly covered her mouth.
"That's my nephew. I misspoke earlier; he's not my son!"
But she was just a woman who hadn't received much education, confined to her own little world, and couldn't possibly fool Yan Qiao.
Greedy people will always slip up.
Yan Qiao looked her over and suddenly noticed the jade bracelet on her wrist.
She remembered that he hadn't come yesterday.
It's in such good condition; it looks quite valuable.
"Grandma Zhang, this bracelet is very pretty. Did my grandfather buy it for you?"
Zhang Shuyun hurriedly hid her wrist, "No, I bought it myself."
Yan Qiao said "Oh," and then added, "You can go back now. You don't need my help with your son's matter. He'll be out in a couple of days."
Without waiting for Zhang Shuyun's pleas, he closed the door.
She closed the door, but instead of leaving, she stood at the doorway listening to the sounds outside.
Pei Jingzhan scoffed, thinking that Yan Qiao was really good at beating around the bush.
He wasn't one to eavesdrop; he put his hands in his pockets, turned, and left.
"Shh." Yan Qiao put her finger to her lips.
Then I heard Zhang Shuyun making a phone call outside the door.
"Yaoyao, my nephew has been sent to prison by Yan Qiao! What am I going to do? I should have known better than to listen to you!" Her words were full of complaints.
Yan Qiao suddenly realized, "Oh, it's Yan Yaoyao."
