Seeing the name on the caller ID, Qiao Ruoxi raised an eyebrow.
"Mom, I'm going out to answer a phone call and will be back soon."
Mrs. Pei smiled and waved her hand: "Go quickly, don't delay things."
Qiao Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou nodded and went out.
After Qiao Ruoxi left the room, Pei Yaozhou also spoke: "Mom, I'm going out for some fresh air.
Mrs. Pei smiled gossipyly, "It's still breathable. If you want to be Ruoxi's follower, just say so. Go ahead."
Pei Yaozhou: ...
Coming to the empty corridor, Qiao Ruoxi answered the phone, and soon, a familiar voice came from the other end.
"Qiao Ruoxi, can I still trust you?"
Qiao Ruoxi curled her lips and smiled: "You called me, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
Lin Jing choked, then laughed.
"Qiao Ruoxi, you are very smart. If Chen Qin hadn't been so foolish back then and abandoned you out of her own pathetic guilt, you would have been the daughter-in-law I was most satisfied with."
"And you don't have to marry a disabled person and waste your youth."
Qiao Ruoxi's eyes suddenly darkened, and she calmly interrupted Lin Jing's words: "Tell me, what can I do for you?"
"Ayan is missing and I can't go back to Beijing. Can you help me find him?" Lin Jing also got straight to the point.
A moment of surprise passed through Qiao Ruoxi's heart.
Pei Junyan was picked up by Pei Yaozhou personally. There were surveillance cameras in the Pei family's villa, as well as nannies and servants. There were also pedestrians watching on the road. As long as Pei Yaozhou didn't do it on purpose, Pei Junyan could not have "disappeared."
Why did Pei Yaozhou do this?
If the intention was to kidnap Pei Junyan or cut off his contact with the outside world, it would be impossible to bring him to the Pei family's old house and continue with the wedding process. This doesn't make sense.
However, by doing this, Pei Yaozhou actually helped her.
"You said A Yan is missing?" Qiao Ruoxi pretended to be surprised.
"But A-Yan is at the old house. Old Madam Pei is worried about his marriage, so she asked Pei Yaozhou to pick him up. He's going to try on a suit soon."
"What did you say? A Yan is in the Pei family's old house?" Lin Jing was shocked and her voice suddenly rose.
Qiao Ruoxi rubbed her ears and said, "If you don't believe me, I can take a video and show you who told you that Ayan was missing."
Qiao Ruoxi's words seemed unintentional, but they were pointed.
Sure enough, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Ruoxi added: "It's impossible that no one knows about such a big man coming from home to the old house. I don't know what the purpose of the person who said this to you is, but considering your current condition, it's better to be careful."
After that, Qiao Ruoxi stopped mentioning the matter to prevent Lin Jing from seeing her intention to sow discord.
"You just said that Ayan was going to try on a dress in a while? Didn't you reveal Ayan's background?" Lin Jing asked again.
Qiao Ruoxi chuckled: "What good would it do me to expose such a thing?"
Lin Jing was silent for a moment. "Even if you don't say anything, it's useless. The truth will come out sooner or later. I've been targeted by the police. When the report comes in, the old woman is so shrewd, it's impossible for her not to be suspicious."
"The situation was so chaotic at the time. Are you sure the police saw you clearly and recognized your identity?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
Lin Jing was surprised for a moment: "You mean, the police probably didn't recognize me?"
But he quickly denied it: "That's impossible. They've captured so many people. If just one person reveals my identity, I won't be able to escape."
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "It seems that the Godmother is not confident in her followers. When the police interrogated me, I didn't say anything."
"You don't have to worry. The police will issue a notice tomorrow at the latest. We'll know then whether they've betrayed you or not."
"Before that, I can assure you that Ayan will not be in any danger and the wedding will proceed as usual. Three percent of Pei's shares in exchange for a lifetime of medicine, is that not too much?" Qiao Ruoxi raised her lips.
"Three percent of Pei's shares?" Lin Jing was surprised.
"Don't you know? Mrs. Pei said she once promised that on Pei Junyan's wedding day, she would transfer 3% of the shares to him as a wedding gift."
Lin Jing was stunned for a moment: "The old woman did say that, but I thought it was just a joke..."
"Old Madam Pei showed me the equity transfer agreement. She'll bring it out on A-Yan's wedding day. After all, in her opinion, this is the only bloodline of her deceased eldest son. How could she go back on her word?"
Lin Jing sneered: "Okay, if this 3% of shares can really come into my hands, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
…
At the other end of the corridor, Ajie lowered his head and whispered in Pei Yaozhou's ear: "Third Master, the wife is on the phone with Lin Jing."
Pei Yaozhou looked at Qiao Ruoxi from afar, his eyes dim and unclear.
"Keep watching her. Report to me no matter what she does. Always be by her side to protect her. Don't let your guard down for even a moment." Pei Yaozhou said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Third Master!" Ajie agreed.
"There's one more thing. Old Hu is in jail. Do you want to find a way to get him out?"
Pei Yaozhou shook his head: "No, I still have things to entrust to him. Send a few people to his hometown to take care of his family during this time."
"yes!"
"No need to stay here, go get busy."
Seeing Qiao Ruoxi hung up the phone, Pei Yaozhou steered the wheelchair towards Qiao Ruoxi.
"Why are you coming out too?" Qiao Ruoxi was a little surprised when she saw Pei Yaozhou.
The wheelchair stopped and Pei Yaozhou slowly stood up.
Qiao Ruoxi was about to step forward, but Pei Yaozhou stopped her with his hand: "Don't move, wait until I get to you."
"Don't move, wait until I get to you." A childish voice sounded in my mind.
The former little emperor had said exactly the same thing, and then, his bright red robe fluttering in the wind, he ran to her side, threw himself into her arms, and affectionately called her, "Ruoxi."
At this time, she would poke his forehead and ask him to call her "Mother Queen."
"Ruoxi." A low, magnetic voice sounded in my ears.
Qiao Ruoxi was stunned and came back to her senses from the distant memory. Pei Yaozhou had already come to her side.
Pei Yaozhou's eyes flashed with a trace of grievance: "I finally came here from such a long distance, and you are just in a daze."
Qiao Ruoxi glanced at the wheelchair and was instantly surprised and delighted: "You can actually walk that far!"
The speed of recovery clearly exceeded her expectations.
Pei Yaozhou put his hands through the girl's waist and hugged Qiao Ruoxi from behind. He said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up again. If you run too fast, I won't be able to see you anymore."
Qiao Ruoxi felt a warm feeling in her heart and she couldn't help but turn around and kiss Pei Yaozhou on the lips.
