This move shocked everyone.
Even Qiao Ruoxi was stunned for a moment.
Didn’t they say they were in a secret marriage? There are so many people here. Is it okay to expose their relationship?
Old Mrs. Pei picked up the red book, opened it, and her eyes widened. Then her mouth couldn't close, and she let out a giggle, holding the red book in front of Old Mrs. Shen.
"My dear friend, please help me take a look. Am I dazzled?"
In the red book, Pei Yaozhou and Qiao Ruoxi were a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Their heads were close together, and the stamp was stamped on the photo. It was actually a genuine marriage certificate!
Old Mrs. Shen also showed a happy smile: "My dear, it's true! Congratulations, you finally have a third daughter-in-law!"
Old Madam Pei's head tilted with laughter, and she slapped Pei Yaozhou hard: "Good boy, you finally made it. You tricked such a good girl. You must have saved the galaxy in your previous life!"
Pei Yaozhou: ...My back hurts so much.
"Miss Ruoxi, sit closer!" Old Mrs. Pei waved to Qiao Ruoxi.
Old Mrs. Shen stopped arguing and made room for them with a look of relief on her face.
Qiao Ruoxi was worried that the exposure of their relationship would undermine the terms of the agreement, so she looked at Pei Yaozhou, intending to seek his opinion.
Seeing Pei Yaozhou nodded, Qiao Ruoxi felt relieved and sat down next to Old Lady Pei.
In everyone's eyes, this scene just now was a picture of a husband and wife in perfect harmony.
Mrs. Pei smiled so hard that her eyes curved, and she nodded repeatedly: "That's great, that's great!"
Then he grabbed Qiao Ruoxi's hand, took off the jade bracelet on his wrist, and put it on Qiao Ruoxi's hand.
The jade bracelet had a clear sound and pure jade color. Qiao Ruoxi could tell at a glance that it was a good item. Even in her era, it was priceless.
"This jade bracelet is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Just as Qiao Ruoxi was about to take off the jade bracelet, Old Mrs. Pei covered her chest with her hands and cried out, "Ouch, ouch."
Seeing this, everyone gathered around nervously, and heard Old Madam Pei wailing, "I don't know why, but when I saw you trying to take off this jade bracelet, my heart ached so much."
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and pinched Mrs. Pei's wrist with her fingers. Sure enough, there was nothing abnormal about her pulse.
She smiled helplessly and revealed: "Mrs. Pei, there is nothing wrong with your body."
"There's a problem, there's a problem!" Old Mrs. Pei insisted, holding Qiao Ruoxi's wrist tightly to prevent her from taking off the jade bracelet.
"Ruoxi, since it's given to you by your mother, just accept it!" It was the first time that Pei Yaozhou saw her mother act so shameless, and he held his forehead and spoke.
Qiao Ruoxi looked at Pei Yaozhou strangely. It was obvious that Pei Yaozhou was not joking, and it would not look good if the stalemate continued, so she did not refuse.
Mrs. Pei immediately danced with joy: "Third brother, I want to be discharged from the hospital. Let's go home. Mom has many treasures, all left for Ruoxi. Hurry up and get Mom discharged!"
These words were said with great vigor, quite like the attitude of a young man who was in charge of the country.
The doctors had bitter faces and looked at Pei Yaozhou for help.
Pei Yaozhou wasn't in a hurry at all, his thin lips curled slightly: "Mom, when it comes to family matters, should you listen to me or your daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Pei touched Qiao Ruoxi's hand curiously. "Needless to say, besides being good at making money, what other advantages do you have? Look at our Ruoxi. She's not only beautiful but also a doctor. She's also better at dealing with people than you. Of course you have to listen to our Ruoxi. Mom is warning you, don't bully our Ruoxi, or I'll show you what I'm doing!"
Pei Yaozhou nodded: "Mom is right, so whether you can be discharged from the hospital depends on your daughter-in-law."
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
Mr. Pei is really powerful. He is trying to provoke her. However, considering the agreement and the money, she doesn't care about it.
She looked at Mrs. Pei with a serious expression: "Your body has not fully recovered yet. You need to be observed in the hospital for a while."
I thought Mrs. Pei would be unhappy, but unexpectedly, the old lady was not disappointed at all. She was very excited and even had a bit of a show-off attitude.
"Miss Ruoxi is absolutely right. I just said I wanted to be discharged from the hospital to test your feelings for me. Look at how much our Ruoxi cares about me. You guys are no match for her!"
Everyone: ...
"But...Ruoxi girl, can you come and see me more often? I'm so lonely in the hospital alone." Old Mrs. Pei instantly turned into a pitiful empty-nest elderly person.
Pei Yaozhou said calmly, "Lonely? The doctor has complained to me more than once. It's still bustling at midnight. You almost moved your entire family into the ward."
Mrs. Pei choked and pointed at the elite team surrounding her: "Who filed the complaint? Was it you, Old Zhuang?"
The old professor had a mournful face. "Old lady, how could I dare to do that? Third Master, this must be a misunderstanding. I take my medicine and go to bed on time every day... I live a very lonely life, that's right!"
Old Mrs. Pei nodded with satisfaction.
Qiao Ruoxi smiled. She didn't expect Pei Yaozhou to be so serious. His mother was a very interesting person. She couldn't help but remind her of the aunts in the mountains when she was a child.
She held Mrs. Pei's hand and said gently, "Mrs. Pei, don't worry. I will come to give you acupuncture every week."
When Mrs. Pei heard this, she was immediately delighted: "Great, great, that's great. Ruoxi girl, can you please call me Mom?"
Qiao Ruoxi didn't feel awkward and called out "Mom" openly.
Mrs. Pei rubbed her hands excitedly. "Housekeeper Zhu, that villa on the mountain is the one that's next to Xiaoqin's. Go pack it up and give it to my Ruoxi!"
