Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "Heaven has a benevolent heart."
Pei Yaozhou nodded and said, "Ren Quan, take Pei's lawyer and bodyguard with you."
After saying that, he took Qiao Ruoxi's hand and got in the car.
In the car, Qiao Ruoxi called Taoist Wuya, who quickly picked up the phone: "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Are you free now?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
"Yes, I just finished filming a show and it's wrapping up here. I can just tell them and leave. Master, are you going to take me to catch ghosts?" Taoist Wu Ya's voice was very excited.
Qiao Ruoxi smiled and said, "It's more interesting than catching ghosts. I need you to help me make a trip. I'll send you the address, what to do, and what to say later."
"Okay, no problem!" Taoist Wu Ya agreed immediately.
At this moment, someone else's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Master Wuya, is the person speaking to you the head of your sect? Could I have a few words with him?"
"Director Wu, the Sect Leader is very busy. I will convey your message to him."
"Hello, Master. I'm Director Wu from Tomato TV's Health & Fitness section. We sincerely invite you to join our next show. As long as you're willing to come, we can discuss anything!"
Qiao Ruoxi listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, completely confused, until Taoist Wuya's voice came again.
"Master, somehow word got out that you're the heir to the long-lost Yuanshan acupuncture technique. Director Wu really wants you on his show, but don't worry, I won't leak your information!"
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
The acupuncture technique created by the master is very mysterious. Once it reappears in the world, it will be difficult to conceal.
"Master, don't worry. I'll do what you told me to do right away. There are too many people here, so I'll hang up first!"
Qiao Ruoxi said "hmm" and hung up the phone.
When she turned her head, she saw Pei Yaozhou looking at her as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qiao Ruoxi touched her face: "Is there something on my face?"
Pei Yaozhou coughed lightly: "Who were you talking to on the phone just now? It sounded like a man? What I mean is, if you need help, you can come to me. After all, we have common interests..."
Pei Yaozhou felt a chill on the back of his neck after he finished speaking.
Pei Yaori rubbed Pei Yaozhou's head in frustration: "Stupid brother, you didn't have to say the second half of your sentence!"
Qiao Ruoxi was used to Pei Yaori's constant madness, so she blocked him out and said to herself, "It's my apprentice Wu Ya. I asked him to go to Uncle A Fei's house as well."
Pei Yaozhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "You don't believe that my people can handle this?"
Qiao Ruoxi smiled: "Of course I trust Third Master's work, but sometimes the so-called metaphysics works better."
Pei Yaozhou looked at Qiao Ruoxi with interest.
The girl in front of him was like a book, which often puzzled him, but he was willing to read it slowly and get the answers he wanted bit by bit.
*
In the VIP ward of Beijing Yuanzhou Private Hospital.
Old Madam Pei sat on the hospital bed and anxiously directed Housekeeper Zhu: "This side hasn't been cleaned up yet, and that milk tea over there, throw it away quickly. There's a playing card in the corner, pick it up and throw it away!"
After a lot of cleaning, the ward was finally restored to its original state. Old Mrs. Pei leaned on the bed, while Butler Zhu leaned on the back of the chair, gasping for breath with exhaustion.
"The third brother told us half an hour in advance that Ruoxi was coming. If you hadn't acted quickly, wouldn't my precious daughter-in-law have been made a fool of herself? Old Zhu, do you think the third brother did it on purpose?" Old Mrs. Pei gritted her teeth when she thought of her son.
Butler Zhu smiled bitterly: "You still don't understand the Third Master's temperament?"
"He's such a scoundrel! Ruoxi is like flowers stuck in cow dung when paired with him!" Old Madam Pei was indignant. "If he dares to treat Ruoxi like this and lose my precious daughter-in-law, I'll come after him!"
"By the way, has the transfer of the mountaintop villa been completed? That's my gift to Ruoxi!" Old Mrs. Pei asked Butler Zhu.
Housekeeper Zhu shook his head. "The Third Madam is just like you were when you were young, stubborn and she refuses to accept it. The lawyer is almost breaking his mouth with her words."
Mrs. Pei smiled from ear to ear: "This girl is so kind-hearted and doesn't ask for anything in return. I'll come and tell her in person later that this villa is nothing but an appetizer. I still have billions of assets to give to her and my future granddaughter!"
"What about the eldest wife and Miss Ning? Aren't you afraid that they will make trouble?" Butler Zhu asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Pei's face gradually disappeared.
"They're all troublesome. One plays tricks on me and treats me like a fool. One can't take responsibility and just fools around all day. One can't judge people and treats his enemies as benefactors. I get angry when I think of them!"
"Let's not talk about them." Old Madam Pei waved her hand, her eyes brightening. "Old Zhu, when Ruoxi comes later, should I act a little weak or a little energetic?"
Housekeeper Zhu touched his chin and said, "If you want the Third Wife to care about you more, then act a little weaker. If you want to be discharged from the hospital, then act a little more energetic."
Mrs. Pei looked aggrieved: "Old people can't help but make a choice. Do you want both?"
…
When Qiao Ruoxi arrived, she saw Old Mrs. Pei lying weakly on the hospital bed, waving to her.
"Ruoxi is here! Mom missed you so much. I had a headache when I woke up this morning, but it felt much better as soon as I saw you!"
A flash of nervousness passed across Pei Yaozhou's face, but when he noticed the trash can, he narrowed his eyes and whispered a few words in Qiao Ruoxi's ear.
Seeing this, Mrs. Pei became anxious and interrupted them: "Ruoxi, don't believe what the third brother said, come to Mom!"
Pei Yaozhou raised his eyebrows: "You didn't hear what I said, how do you know that what I said is not credible!"
"You crawled out of my belly, and I don't know you?"
Old Mrs. Pei gritted her teeth, but the show had already been performed. Not only did she have to resist the urge to grab her son and beat him up to vent her anger, but she also had to continue to pretend to be pitiful.
So, in a seemingly unintentional threat, he said, "Believe it or not, I'll tell Ruoxi all the embarrassing things you did as a child? Like how you couldn't fall asleep without a bedtime story, how you were afraid of thunder on rainy days, how you loved hugging your pretty sister and yelling..."
"Mom!" Pei Yaozhou suddenly interrupted, "Since you're not feeling well, Ruoxi and I won't disturb your rest. We'll come visit you another day."
As he spoke, Pei Yaozhou took Qiao Ruoxi's hand and was about to leave. The temperature of his palm was frighteningly hot.
Qiao Ruoxi burst out laughing.
She hooked her fingers on Pei Yaozhou's palm, her eyes curved, and she smiled and teased: "Third Master is shy, but it's normal. You just did what all children would do. You like listening to stories, are afraid of thunder, and like hugging beautiful sisters." Just like a little emperor.
