Yan Qiao took a key out of her pocket.
Guess what this is?
Pei Jingzhan glanced at it, "Bank safe deposit box key."
Yan Qiao asked in surprise, "You know this? Yuan Mengchun was careful and didn't give the original will to Yan Yaoyao. The original is still in her hands."
Yuan Mengchun, perhaps out of a pang of conscience or a desire to get revenge on Yan Yaoyao, gave her the item.
Pei Jingzhan was somewhat surprised: "So, you're going to become a billionaire woman?"
Yan Qiao curled the corners of her lips and said, "The inheritance belongs to my mother."
Xiaoqi, who hadn't been seen in a while, said: "You can't say that. Once you get the will, your retirement pension will be deposited into your account—you'll be a future billionaire."
Yan Qiao's eyes lit up, and her mood clearly improved.
She patted her chest and said, "It's my treat today, I'll take you out for a big meal."
Pei Jingzhan raised an eyebrow, "So the miser is starting to pluck feathers?"
Yan Qiao snorted, "I have money."
Pei Jingzhan: "I don't eat cheap food."
"I understand, I definitely won't let you down!"
Yan Qiao patted his shoulder, "I'll be your driver today."
Pei Jingzhan gave up his seat, secretly looking forward to the feast Yan Qiao had mentioned.
Before she could even feel surprised, Yan Qiao led her to a very down-to-earth snack street.
Pei Jingzhan didn't move. "This is the feast you were talking about?"
Yan Qiao said, "I heard there are lots of delicious food options at the snack street near Yenching University!"
She got out of the car on her own, and Pei Jingzhan had no choice but to follow.
His demeanor is completely incompatible with the lively atmosphere of the food street.
Since both of them were wearing masks, not many people noticed.
Yan Qiao first stopped at the hot and sour noodles stall, ordered only one serving, and took two pairs of chopsticks.
"This is delicious, you should try it."
Pei Jingzhan glanced at her and said, "Eat it yourself."
Yan Qiao ignored him and buried herself in her food.
The tangy and spicy aroma wafted over, making her mouth water.
"Try it, it's really delicious!" Yan Qiao handed him the chopsticks.
"If you're afraid of eating my saliva, I'll let you eat first, okay?"
After hesitating for a while, Pei Jingzhan finally took off his mask, looking disgusted.
Upon smelling the fragrance, he raised an eyebrow.
He lowered his head and took a bite, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then took another bite.
Yan Qiao: "Is it delicious? Let me have a couple of bites."
Pei Jingzhan dodged her chopsticks, "Buy another serving."
This portion isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.
Yan Qiao laughed in exasperation, "There are still many snacks to come, just try a few of them."
Pei Jingzhan finished the hot and sour noodles in a few bites, threw the box into the trash can, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
She once again resembled a noble, aloof flower.
"good."
Yan Qiao: "..."
The two devoured the food street, ordering spicy rice crust potatoes, ice jelly, takoyaki, spicy hot pot...
The two of them devoured a total of twelve food stalls, and Yan Qiao was so full that she almost had to lean against the wall to walk.
Seeing that Pei Jingzhan still seemed somewhat unsatisfied, she asked listlessly, "Mr. Pei Bingjun, have you ever heard of the 'true fragrance law'?"
Pei Jingzhan ignored him; he was indeed quite full.
After leaving the food street, Yan Qiao finally saw the message from Pei Xiang.
It turns out that while the two of them were raiding, the content of today's live stream was maliciously edited and posted online.
The news that Yan Yaoyao had inherited the old man's estate spread like wildfire, accompanied by smear campaigns against Yan Yaoyao, a clumsy attempt to elevate one while simultaneously belittling the other.
#Yan Qiao fights for inheritance#
The entry appeared quietly and climbed to the top of the trending list.
Some people are stirring up trouble, and many are criticizing Yan Qiao for her unseemly behavior.
Yan Qiao only glanced at it, but she knew that Yan Yaoyao must have been behind it.
Yan Qiao replied: 【Busy.】
Pei Xiang: [What are you busy with?]
Yan Qiao sent her a newly made emoji.
Pei Xiang looked closely and saw that it was a meme of Pei Jingzhan frowning while eating stinky tofu, with the caption: "It smells so good!"
She promptly saved the meme and forwarded it to Pei Jingzhan.
Pei Xiang: [I remember when I went to the food street in high school, you complained to my mom, and I lost a month's allowance! [Disdain]]
JZ: [To correct you, you went on a date with the boy you have a crush on.]
Pei Xiang: [I didn't!]
JZ: [You can also tell my mom to delete the emojis!]
Pei Xiang refused. Not only could this not be deleted, but it had to be kept for a lifetime!
She asked Yan Qiao for the original photo, then blurred it out and posted it on her WeChat Moments.
The once-in-a-millennium Pei Sanye meme deserves a piece of the action.
Chenwu's first comment: 【How much? Give me ten!】
Pei Yuzhi: [You're really bold! The money's already transferred, send the picture immediately!]
Xiao Yunqi: [Let's auction it off! I'll bid 500,000!]
JZ: [You're definitely going to fail!]
Pei Jingzhan closed his phone, his head throbbing with anger at his troublesome niece.
Yan Qiao scrolled through the news online. Many people saw that she was silent and said that she had failed to win the inheritance and was hiding somewhere crying!
She let out a small burp, but didn't cry.
While scrolling through the pages, a paparazzi unexpectedly posted a set of photos.
Pictures of her and Pei Jingzhan raiding the food street!
Caption: [I've seen it in her eyes, Yan Qiao ate a total of twelve snacks!]
The angle is tricky, and the picture is blurry, but you can still tell that it is Yan Qiao!
Coincidentally, each photo only shows Pei Jingzhan's back.
[Twelve servings! That's an astonishing amount!]
[She wasn't eating alone, was she? She was filming too!]
Wow, Yan Qiao is so tall! She's not short at all, but standing next to him, she feels like a little bird nestled against someone!
[Could we be guessing that they might actually be a couple?]
[...]
After leaving the food street, the two, having eaten and drunk their fill, drove home, leaving the online speculation behind.
The next day, Yan Qiao, having obtained the original will, finally received her retirement pension from the Time and Space Bureau.
Xiao Qi said: [Quietly, now that everything has come to a perfect end, it's time to put a period to our encounter.]
As a retired employee of the Time and Space Bureau, Yan Qiao has become accustomed to the arising and ceasing of relationships, and the coming together and parting of people.
Hearing Xiaoqi's words, he felt regret and sadness in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Are you leaving?
【yes. 】
Yan Qiao smiled slightly, "[Farewell forever.]"
May we never meet again. Wishing you happiness.
Yan Qiao rested one hand on the back of her head, gazing at the tender buds of the Chinese toon tree.
The spring breeze caressed my face, but Xiaoqi's voice was no longer in my mind.
From now on, she will have to fight alone.
"What are you looking at?" Pei Jingzhan placed a cup of tea beside her.
Yan Qiao couldn't help but sigh that this old man was truly taking good care of his health.
"Let's see when we can eat scrambled eggs with toon leaves."
These two Chinese toon trees are enough for her to achieve "Chinese toon freedom" (a Chinese idiom for financial freedom).
Pei Jingzhan asked, "What are your plans regarding the inheritance?"
Yan Qiao said, "I can't give up even a single thing that my grandfather left to my mother."
Pei Jingzhan: "I have a friend whose legal team is quite good."
Yan Qiao was speechless. Why did it sound like she was making up a story?
She handed over the original suicide note, saying, "I really don't have the patience to deal with these things, so I'll have to trouble Mr. Pei to use the best lawyer. Don't try to save me money!"
Pei Jingzhan glanced at what she was holding and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll use it to exchange for money with the Yan family?"
Yan Qiao immediately sat up straight: "Are you short of money? I have some!"
Her eyes sparkled, and she was practically asking: How much would it cost to hire you for a year?
Pei Jingzhan twitched the corner of his lips and tapped her head with his hand.
