Without waiting for Qiao Ruoxi to speak, Luo Yubai had already said it.
"Ren Quan told Qin Shi to stop targeting you and hinted at your relationship with Master Pei San. To warn him, he stopped the production supply line of the Qin family's Fifth Master, Qin Shi's father's business, for half a month."
Seeing that Qiao Ruoxi still didn't say anything, Luo Yubai thought she didn't believe him, so he shook his phone: "I happened to pass by that day and took a picture. If you want, I can send the video to you."
At this point, Qiao Ruoxi finally responded. Luo Yubai was delighted. Fortunately, he had recorded the video at that time.
But then Qiao Ruoxi opened her mouth and said, "Ten thousand yuan?"
Luo Yubai was shocked: "Huh?"
"Student Ruoxi, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to threaten you. The video is free. I just want you to know the facts. You can figure out the rest on your own." Luo Yubai explained.
Qiao Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, but as far as I know, filming a video without someone's permission is equivalent to invading their privacy. I hope that classmate Luo Yubai will not do this kind of thing again in the future."
Fortunately, she looked up this matter on the Internet on the way to school.
After saying that, he picked up the textbook again and listened carefully.
Luo Yubai frowned: "Classmate Ruoxi, Master Pei never does business at a loss. People like him are like tigers to the emperor. You..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Qiao Ruoxi looking at him with a cold gaze, which was completely different from before. In an instant, he felt a strong sense of oppression.
Luo Yubai swallowed back the rest of his words.
…
"This kid has bad intentions and wants to destroy the relationship between you and the third brother. You must not listen to his instigation. If he dares to say another word, I will crush him to death tonight!" Pei Yaori's voice came from the gourd on Qiao Ruoxi's waist.
"Are you willing to come back?" Qiao Ruoxi spoke with her mind.
Pei Yaori choked: "You found me. I thought I left without anyone noticing. Since you found me, why didn't you call me back?"
Qiao Ruoxi curled her lips into a smile that inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine: "If I had called you back and you'd seen things you shouldn't have, you'd probably have been reduced to ashes."
Pei Yaori:?
Did he miss something and save his life?
"Have you found any clues?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
Pei Yaori dejectedly rode on the neck of the man in front of Qiao Ruoxi. "We found nothing. That woman is so cruel. She cleared out everything about me from the house except for a photo she used to deceive the Pei family. She even brought that bastard back home to hang out. I was so angry that I attached myself to that bastard and gave him nightmares all night long."
At the end of his words, Pei Yaori gritted his teeth and slapped the man on the shoulder.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Gao Shuyang touched his neck and hissed.
The "bench" chosen by Pei Yaori was the neck of Qin Shi's good friend, Tong Xiaomei's boyfriend, Gao Shuyang.
Qiao Ruoxi's mouth twitched: "Find an empty place to sit."
"Children nowadays are so spoiled. How heavy can a ghost like me be? What's wrong with sitting on me for a while?" Pei Yaori complained as he got up from Gao Shuyang's neck.
Qiao Ruoxi's gaze fell on Gao Shuyang's neck, where she saw a bruise emitting black energy, which was obviously not caused by human intervention.
"Did you absorb his yang energy?" Qiao Ruoxi glanced at Pei Yaori.
Pei Yaori raised his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't accuse me of this. If I want to absorb something, I'll absorb the Yang energy of my ex-wife and her husband, and the golden light of my mother's merit. I'm a ghost with a bottom line. Why would I embarrass a child?"
Qiao Ruoxi looked at the bruise and narrowed her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, do you really have a way to find out the truth about my accident?"
Qiao Ruoxi withdrew her gaze and texted Tong Xiaomei on her phone while asking, "Since you can't start with your ex-wife, why not start with the people around her? You should be able to find out where that cuckolded man lives now, right?"
Pei Yaori's dark eyes revealed a clear stupidity: "I don't know..."
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
She finally understood what it meant to say that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each with its own unique characteristics. Compared to Pei Yaozhou's swift and decisive approach, this eldest son of the Pei family was far behind...
"Then follow them."
"Stalking is illegal!"
"You are a ghost, not a human. Does the law have any influence on you?" Qiao Ruoxi pinched her eyebrows.
"That's right!" Pei Yaori suddenly realized something and slapped his thigh. "Sister-in-law, you are really smart. I'm leaving now. Remember to call me if you need anything!"
"Don't call me your sister-in-law. The Third Master and I are just in a contractual relationship." Qiao Ruoxi emphasized again.
Pei Yaori smiled and waved his hand: "Got it, sister-in-law!"
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
It was rehearsal time in the afternoon. Su Lingxin never gave Qiao Ruoxi a good look, but Qiao Ruoxi didn't care and continued rehearsing as usual.
Seeing Qiao Ruoxi coming down from the stage to rest, Rui He gave her a thumbs up: "Ruoxi, you are amazing and have made rapid progress. I was just drawn into your emotions! Classmate Shuyang, don't you agree?"
Gao Shuyang didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard anything at all. His eyes were blank, and his whole body exuded a gloomy temperament.
"Student Shuyang, are you okay?" Rui He called out again.
Gao Shuyang finally responded and forced a smile: "It's okay, I went to the hospital to take care of my mom last night and didn't sleep well, so I'm going over there to catch up on some sleep. Don't tell the teacher!"
Rui He nodded: "Okay, I'll call you when it's your turn."
Qiao Ruoxi's eyes passed over Gao Shuyang's dark circles. "Rui He, how much do you know about Gao Shuyang? Does he have a girlfriend?"
Rui He shook her head. "We rehearse together every day, so I think I know him. He's usually very serious and has a dream of becoming an idol star. As for a girlfriend, I definitely don't have one. Classmate Shu Yang once said that having a girlfriend would be a stain on an idol..."
Before he could finish, Luo Yubai came to ask Rui He to move.
Qiao Ruoxi sat at the edge of the stage, watching Gao Shuyang, whose lower eyeballs were bulging and bloodshot, staring at the ceiling.
The phone vibrated, and Qiao Ruoxi unlocked it with her fingerprint. The screen was still stuck on the chat box interface between her and Tong Xiaomei.
Tong Xiaomei’s last words were sent yesterday.
[I've let Shuyang down. If he doesn't want me, I don't want to live anymore.]
Qiao Ruoxi's last sentence was sent this morning.
【Are you free to chat? You can choose the place. 】
From this morning till now, Jasmine Tong has not contacted her.
When Qiao Ruoxi exited the chat box with Tong Xiaomei, she saw a “+3” reminder next to Pei Yaozhou’s avatar.
Qiao Ruoxi opened the chat box, and the first thing that popped up was a three-second high-definition video.
In the video, Pei Yaozhou is wearing a black tight sportswear, as perfect as a work of art in the hands of an ancient Greek sculptor.
The muscle texture all over his body is clearly visible, and every part seems to be wrapped in solid strength. Transparent sweat slides down his shoulders and neck, exuding a strong scent of masculine hormones.
Below the video are two text messages.
I'm working out
【Would you like to have dinner together tonight? 】
