Qiao Ruoxi stood outside the house for a while.
The room was filled with harmony and joy. No matter what the woman said, Xun Pei immediately agreed and did as she said. The child even called him "Dad" affectionately and kept calling him.
Pei Yaori tsk-tsk'd twice, "He's really good at pretending! If you didn't know the truth, just look at how respectful Xun Pei is to his wife. Who would have thought he was such a scumbag who tricked a young girl into giving birth to a son?"
Qiao Ruoxi raised the corner of her lips and said, "Don't judge a person by appearance. Let's go and pay him a visit."
"Ding Dong." The doorbell rang.
The woman handed the child in her arms to Xun Pei: "It might be a delivery. You watch over Nannan while I go open the door."
"Okay, wife!" Xun Pei quickly took the child, but frowned when he looked at the door.
He had greeted the delivery guy and told him to just leave the package at the door, so why was he ringing the doorbell?
Could it be the police...
Xun Pei glanced out the window and whispered in his daughter's ear, "Nannan, do you like Daddy?"
The little girl hugged the doll and nodded in a baby voice: "I like it!"
"If strange bad men come to our house and want to catch dad, can you help dad stop them? If dad is caught, he won't be able to play games with you every day in the future." Xun Pei coaxed his daughter.
The little girl hugged Xun Pei and kissed him: "Okay, girl, protect daddy!"
Looking at his daughter, Xun Pei felt mixed emotions.
It would be great if it was a boy, and had the same surname as him, Xun. His Xun family would be able to continue the family line.
What’s the point of a girl who can’t take his last name?
"Old Xun, the boss of your previous company is looking for you, come out quickly!" A woman's voice came from outside the house.
Xun Pei was stunned for a moment. Could it be that his fourth uncle's cousin Cao Peng had come? Didn't he say that if you don't have anything to do recently, don't come to see him?
Xun Pei let his daughter play by herself and walked out of the room with a heavy heart.
Seeing that it was a woman, Xun Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Xun Pei looked Qiao Ruoxi up and down and narrowed his eyes instantly.
This woman was the most beautiful she had ever seen, especially when standing next to his tigress wife, there was simply no comparison!
"My name is Qiao Ruoxi, the owner of Xizhou Beauty Salon. I have some questions about your branch that I would like to ask Manager Xun." Qiao Ruoxi's voice was cold.
Hearing this, Xun Pei's expression changed instantly, and he put away his previous thoughts.
"It's Boss Qiao. I'm sorry, but I've already resigned from Xizhou and don't know anything. I'm sorry to bother you making this special trip."
The woman glared at Xun Pei and said, "Everyone is a guest. How can you do business with this attitude?"
Xun Pei was holding back his anger, but he didn't dare to lose his temper. He could only coax the woman: "He must be asking me to go back to work. You know I've been through so much humiliation, I definitely won't go back."
"Then tell me what's going on with kicking people out."
After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Ruoxi with a smile.
"Boss Qiao came here in person, which shows that he values us, Old Xun. If his salary can be increased and there are more opportunities for promotion, it's not impossible for Old Xun to go back to work, right, Old Xun?" The woman glanced at Xun Pei.
Xun Pei had no choice but to nod, secretly cursing the stupid woman in his heart.
Qiao Ruoxi smiled: "Mrs. Zheng, is this why your husband told you to resign?"
"Then you know that the manager of the Xizhou Beauty Salon's main store is your husband's cousin. The two of them are so close that they meet late at night, and your husband gives him tens of thousands of dollars. Do you think he will treat your husband badly?"
"What!" The woman was instantly furious.
"Why didn't you ever tell me that the head office manager is your relative? I was wondering why thirty thousand yuan was suddenly missing from our house. Did you take it? What did you do with all that money? Did you do anything illegal?"
Only then did Xun Pei realize that Qiao Ruoxi had come with ill intentions today.
"Wife, wife, don't get excited. Listen to me. I didn't tell you that the owner of the head office is my relative because I was afraid you would be heartbroken. He doesn't treat me as a relative at all. Otherwise, how could I leave?"
"I gave him money hoping he would give me a chance to get promoted, but he took the money and didn't do anything. That's why I quit in anger!"
Xun Pei gave a long and eloquent explanation, but it was obvious that Mrs. Zheng's anger was no longer as great as before.
Pei Yaori, who was wandering around, couldn't help but sigh: "With such eloquence, he can even turn black into white. It's a pity that he doesn't go into crosstalk!"
"Boss Qiao, I'm telling you, this is how it is. I won't be going back anyway, so please go back too." Xun Pei pretended to be impatient and stretched out his hand to drive Qiao Ruoxi away.
Qiao Ruoxi walked lightly. Although she had clearly avoided Xun Pei, she moved closer to him step by step and spoke at the same time.
"Xun Pei, I think you misunderstood. I'd love for a parasite like you to leave the company. I came to you today because of my employee, Yan Bing."
The two words "Yan Bing" were like a bomb. Xun Pei froze and his face turned suddenly pale.
"Who is Yan Bing? My husband works diligently, how come he has become a pest in the company?" The woman was puzzled again.
Qiao Ruoxi raised her lip: "Xun Pei, do you want to talk here, or talk to me alone?"
Xun Pei was silent for a moment, then looked at the woman beside him. "Wife, I'll explain this to you later. Go and keep Nannan company while I talk to Boss Qiao alone."
"Can't we chat here?" the woman frowned.
Xun Pei forced a smile and said coquettishly, "Wife, can't you trust me just once, just once?"
The woman nodded: "Okay, I believe you, then you guys chat, I'll go accompany my daughter."
After seeing his wife leave, Xun Pei looked back at Qiao Ruoxi and pointed to his room: "Boss Qiao, please come this way."
After entering the room, Xun Pei closed the door.
He casually picked up the Bodhi seed on the table and played with it while looking at Qiao Ruoxi with a gloomy expression: "Boss Qiao, what is your purpose in coming here today?"
"Were you the one who raped Yan Bing?" Qiao Ruoxi went straight to the point.
Xun Pei didn't expect Qiao Ruoxi to ask such a direct question. His palms suddenly tightened and trembled slightly.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Yan Bing and I are just ordinary superiors and subordinates."
"She committed suicide by taking sleeping pills and is now lying in the hospital, her life or death uncertain. Do you know about this?" Qiao Ruoxi continued to ask.
With a "pop", the Bodhi seed in Xun Pei's hand fell to the ground.
Xun Pei immediately picked it up and put it on his left hand, pretending to be nonchalant: "I resigned yesterday and didn't go to work today. How would I know that she committed suicide yesterday?"
"I never said that Yan Bing committed suicide yesterday. How did you know?" Qiao Ruoxi's eyes were sharp.
Xun Pei choked and quickly tried to make amends: "Is it okay if I just guessed?"
"Okay." Qiao Ruoxi nodded.
"Yan Bing has been possessed by a vengeful spirit for some time. After she committed suicide, the spirit lost its nutrients and left her body. Where do you think it went?"
Qiao Ruoxi pointed behind Xun Pei and suddenly smiled evilly.
