To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

Mother Pei was always graceful and dignified, rarely showing her cold side, but her expression changed after Li Lu said that. "Just because I like Xiaoru, do I need you to ask about it? I have never treated her as a servant. In my heart, she is just like my own daughter. Also, don't brag about the fact that you are Lu Xi's schoolmate. There are many Lu Xi's schoolmates. Who do you think you are?"

Li Lu's face turned pale and blue. She didn't expect that the lady would suddenly get angry.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mother Pei frowned, "Come on, since you can't tolerate the Pei family, please find another job.

"Madam, are you planning to fire me?" Li Lu raised her voice in disbelief.

She has always been hardworking and perceptive in the Pei family, so there is no way she would be fired.

But Pei's mother waved her hands impatiently and asked the housekeeper to send her away.

Qin Xiaoru knew that Pei's mother was doing this for her to see, to tell her that the Pei family treated her as their own daughter. But the more Pei's mother acted like this, the more uncomfortable Qin Xiaoru felt, and the more she couldn't understand. Since they were so good to her and never looked down on her, why couldn't they allow her to be with Pei Shaoqing?

In the past, she didn't believe that Pei Shaoqing would like her, so she was always twisted. But after Pei Shaoqing's serious confession that time, she seemed to see Pei Shaoqing's heart clearly, and she wanted to be with him.

Mother Pei seemed to have sensed his thoughts at the time, and she took her hand and persuaded her earnestly: "Xiao Ru, didn't you say last time that you liked a man named Qin Lie? How is it? Are you two together? When will you bring him over to show your aunt?

"I told Shao Qing about this a few days ago, and that kid actually said I was talking nonsense, saying that there was no way you could be together. He always thought you liked him. How could you be so narcissistic?"

Pei's mother had a gentle smile on her face, with a hint of teasing, as if she had never noticed Qin Xiaoru's special feelings for Pei Shaoqing.

Qin Xiaoru knew that Pei's mother was still giving her a way out. After all, she didn't say, "I know your feelings for Shaoqing, but your aunt is making this clear today. There is absolutely no way you two can be together. You can never become the daughter-in-law of our Pei family." But at the same time, Pei's mother was forcing her to establish a relationship with Qin Lie as soon as possible, or to find such a man and end her single status, so as to make Pei Shaoqing give up.

Qin Xiaoru took the step given by Pei's mother and said with a smile: "Aunt, we have confirmed our relationship. I will find a chance to bring it to you in a few days. Today I am here to get my mother's things. I have to go back quickly. I promised to make hand-rolled noodles for Qin Lie."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Pei's mother's brows, and the look in her eyes was very complicated. She was a little annoyed because the girl in front of her could not become her daughter-in-law, but at the same time she was also a little relieved. Xiaoru's evil relationship with her son should be coming to an end soon, right?

"Okay, okay, then I won't disturb you young people's date. You must take care of yourself outside. The weather is too hot recently, so don't be greedy for coolness, especially in the dog days. You must eat less ice, such as iced watermelon, ice cream, iced beverages and mineral water. Otherwise, you will have menstrual cramps."

She gave instructions like an old mother.

Qin Xiaoru nodded in agreement and then left Pei's house. She did not see Pei's mother's smile fall, nor did she see her mother sighing.

On the way back, Qin Xiaoru called Qin Lie and said, "Captain Qin, I like you," and then asked, "Can you be my boyfriend?"

Qin Lie was also very straightforward and sealed their relationship with just one word: "yes".

There were people from the Pei family's old house in the villa. In order to prevent her lies from being exposed, Qin Xiaoru made an appointment with Qin Lie and actually made this hand-rolled noodles.

She didn't want to get entangled with Pei Shaoqing anymore. In a relationship, if you know it's impossible, you have to stop the loss in time and not continue to waste energy, otherwise it will not only hurt yourself, but also the other person. So Qin Xiaoru ordered him to leave very straightforwardly, "If you have nothing to do, go back. Why do you come here to disturb other people's dates?"

Pei Shaoqing's face turned completely cold. "Qin Xiaoru, tell me again, what kind of date is this? What kind of date are you going to have? Are you boyfriend and girlfriend? Do you like him? Does Qin Lie like you? Do you know that he likes Lu Xi?"

He asked several questions in a row, his voice getting louder and louder, his emotions becoming more and more excited, and he did not hide his anger at all.

Qin Xiaoru was a little annoyed. She dropped the rolling pin with a "bang", shook off the dry flour on her hands, and pushed Pei Shaoqing out.

"Why are you so annoying? You don't have to mind my business! You are not related to me, so why do you interfere with who I date?"

Pei Shaoqing turned around and grabbed her slender wrist. His always alluring peach blossom eyes were now filled with rage. "Who do you say I am to you? Why do you say I am yours? Qin Xiaoru, isn't what I said clear enough? I like you, I really like you, I want to marry you, can you please stop torturing me?!"

The last sentence was filled with irrepressible sadness.

Qin Xiaoru's eyes were immediately filled with tears. She raised her head aggrievedly, her voice choking, "Who is torturing whom? What's the point of you liking me? Your family doesn't like me."

"This is my own business. No one in the Pei family can interfere!" Pei Shaoqing seemed to see hope. "You said I was torturing you, but you like me, right?"

Qin Xiaoru did not answer, but asked him: "What about your mother? Are you sure she can't interfere with you?"

Pei Shaoqing choked for a moment, then immediately said as a matter of course, "Of course my mother is the same, is there any need to ask? From childhood to adulthood, who have I ever listened to?"

Qin Xiaoru was not so optimistic. "What if your mother threatens to die? What if she cries, makes a scene, or even hangs herself? You saw how fierce the fight between Lu Xi and Tan Ya was before. Do you want to cause a breakup between mother and son? I don't think you would do that for me, so forget it."

"Just tell me whether you like me or not!" Pei Shaoqing's eyes were burning. He wanted an answer today. As long as Qin Xiaoru said she liked him, he would be with Qin Xiaoru even if he poked a hole in the sky.

Qin Xiaoru turned her face away and sneered, "Of course I don't like you. I like Qin Lie, so I'm with him. This is the best choice for me."

"You..." Pei Shaoqing was so angry that he stared at Qin Xiaoru. He really wanted to slap her hard on the butt and wanted to point his finger at her, but he forced himself not to do so. He could only growl with gritted teeth, "Okay! You dead girl, just wait, you will cry sooner or later."

Pei Shaoqing was very angry and left angrily after saying these words.

Qin Xiaoru stood at the door and watched his back as he left. She felt extremely sad, but she kept reminding herself that this was better. It was wisest to cut the Gordian knot. Isn't it good to make money and build a career?

Qin Lie walked up to him and asked, "You're reluctant and still lying?"
