The call was from the old man of the Qiao family.

When Qiao Rui saw the phone, she naturally didn't want to answer it while eating, for fear of losing her appetite.

Pei Liyan said to answer the phone, but she still refused.

"Need not!"

She swiped the answer button and answered the phone.

There was a very polite voice from Mr. Qiao: "Qiao Rui, are you in Liancheng?"

"Yes, grandpa!" Qiao Rui said.

"Then when will you come back?" Mr. Qiao said.

"I have to ask Mr. Pei about this," Qiao Rui said, "I don't know the exact return date yet."

"Then what, I called to ask, did your eldest sister bother you?" Mr. Qiao said again.

Qiao Rui was taken aback, she didn't expect the old man to say that, it wasn't like that in the past, and he had already asked the teacher to ask for the crime.

Today, he actually spoke from her standpoint.

This surprised Qiao Rui, and she immediately understood that it was all because of the [-] million funds in her hand.

If the Qiao family didn't need the [-] million, the old man probably wouldn't speak in such a low voice.

After calming down a bit, Qiao Rui said, "Why would grandpa ask such a question?"

Mr. Qiao paused for a moment when Qiao Rui asked him back, he thought about his words, and he paused for a while before saying, "Your elder sister called me just now."

"Oh!" Qiao Rui just responded lightly.

Mr. Qiao paused again, and his breathing was obviously a little rough, but when he spoke again, his tone was still restrained.

"She was kidnapped, but fortunately she was out of danger."

"Yes." Qiao Rui also said in a calm tone. "Eldest sister is so smart and knows how to protect herself. Don't worry, grandpa!"

Mr. Qiao gave another meal, and then said: "I have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

Qiao Rui said, "Not at all, it's just that I almost used Mr. Pei's [-] million yuan to redeem her!"

These words surprised Mr. Qiao.

Qiao Rui raised the corners of her lips indifferently. She really wanted to see who Mr. Qiao would choose between [-] million and his granddaughter.

The answer surprised her.

Mr. Qiao said: "She dares to tell you about the money in your hand. This bastard really pissed me off!"

In the face of money and life, the old man chose the former.

Just like in the past when his parents got married and were well-matched, the old man abandoned his own son.

Compared with the son and the granddaughter, I am afraid that the granddaughter is not worth mentioning.

She also sympathized with Qiao Xiang now, and called the old man to sue him, but the old man was very good at weighing the pros and cons.

"Grandpa, why should you be angry?" Qiao Rui said in a calm tone, "Eldest sister should be anxious too, after all, the person who kidnapped her is her good friend!"

"Good friend?" Mr. Qiao raised his voice involuntarily: "What's going on?"

"I don't know either." Qiao Rui said, "Since the eldest sister called grandpa, didn't she tell the reason?"

"Just tell me, what's going on?"

"The police will find out!" Qiao Rui said.

The old man had another meal, and after a while he said, "Qiao Rui, you've worked hard!"

"Grandpa, you're welcome, my family, you're welcome." Qiao Rui said indifferently.

"That's good. Grandpa is very relieved that you know that you are from Qiao's family." Mr. Qiao didn't make a request, but just said these words, "It's all right, grandpa is waiting for you to come back!"

Soon, the old man hung up the phone.

Qiao Rui understood that the old man made this call and said that she was from Qiao's family, but he was actually fighting for Qiao Xiang's interests.

Of course, it was more for the Qiao family.

If Qiao Xiang's reputation is ruined, the Qiao family will also lose face.

Because of the [-] million yuan in her hand, the old man condescended to tell her this, just to save face.

He doesn't order directly, but is so attentive.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Rui lowered her head to eat.

Pei Liyan glanced at her and asked, "Did the old man talk to you about Qiao Xiang?"

All the people at the table listened with their ears closed.

Qiao Rui paused, "Yes, tell me specifically that I am from Qiao's family!"

Pei Liyan instantly understood the old man's agreement.

He Zheng was also startled, and said, "The old man wants to intercede for Qiao Xiang!"

A sense of boredom welled up in Qiao Rui's heart, she didn't speak but just stuttered.

At this time, He Lan said, "Just stop calling the police, after all, it will be very embarrassing."

"Eat well, don't talk." He Zheng glanced at his sister, and she didn't need to say that.

Pei Liyan could see that Qiao Rui was troubled by this, so he made a decision and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. It's not up to you to call the police. If something happens, let the old man come to me."

Qiao Rui was taken aback, and looked at the man's handsome face. He had a serious expression, and an innate indifference appeared on his face, and his voice was equally majestic and domineering.

Jory smiled.

The gloomy mood suddenly disappeared.

She realized that she shouldn't have such emotions towards the old man, just downplay everything.

It was unexpected that Pei Liyan would defend her, which was unprecedented.

He Lan said again: "Brother Pei is right, Grandpa Qiao can call me if you need anything. I am also one of the victims, so I want to call the police."

Qiao Rui looked at her and said, "Thank you!"

"Why are you being polite?" He Lan said with an expression that it doesn't make sense to be nice to you. "We all want the truth."

He Zheng was a little speechless. Thinking of He Lan's face looking for trouble before, it was a world of difference compared to now.

He Zheng felt very ashamed. Women change faces quickly, and it's just a matter of a thought to make friends and hate them.

Qiao Rui nodded and said, "Let's eat!"

Only a few people had a good meal.

After dinner, several people left in no hurry, waiting for news.

After Qiao Rui finished eating, she went to Ludao for a walk to digest food, accompanied by Si Ran, and He Lan also insisted on following along chattering.

Once the three girls left, only Pei Liyan and He Zheng were left in the room.

He Zheng glanced at him, walked to the sofa, sat down in front of Pei Liyan, and said, "If you tell me the truth, do you also suspect Qiao Xiang?"

Pei Liyan lit a cigarette, pursed her thin sharp lips, and said softly, "Don't you doubt it too?"

He Zheng was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and sighed helplessly: "I didn't want her to become so extreme, but she regretted it, let me tell you the truth, she regretted the day she chose a wife, she didn't exist."

Pei Liyan glanced at him expressionlessly, "There is no medicine for regret in this world."

"But, if you were here, wouldn't you choose Qiao Rui?" He Zheng has always wanted to know Pei Liyan's true thoughts about choosing Qiao Rui.

So he tried Pei Liyan again and again.

Pei Liyan looked at him coldly. "Is it boring or not?"

"It's not boring!" He Zheng also lit a cigarette, and accompanied him to puff, and then analyzed: "I really thought you liked Qiao Xiang, and Xiangxiang was by your side in those years, and treated you well It's incredible, it's also very cute, you are also very gentle to her, we all thought you would choose her, but who would have thought that you would choose Qiao Rui!"

Pei Liyan didn't speak.

"Besides, I always feel that Qiao Xiang now regrets that you chose Qiao Rui, so he did something stupid for a while, and it should be hate because of love." He Zheng thought for a while, and then said: "If you want me to say, you Just make it clear to her directly, if you don't look up and look down, it will always cause trouble, so troublesome."

Pei Liyan frowned: "Explain what?"

"Make it clear that you liked her before, but you don't like her now."
