Chapter 499: Pushed to the cusp
Pei Tingyuan said: "I will deal with this matter, and I don't need the old man to worry about it." ”
"Huh?" Qiao Xihe expressed doubt.
Pei Tingyuan took her into his arms and hugged her intimately, "Don't worry." ”
"I hope so. Qiao Xihe held Pei Tingyuan's hand, feeling the warmth brought by the contact, and was just about to speak, but he didn't want to, Pei Tingyuan's mobile phone rang first.
She glanced at the phone number of the Pei family's old house, and her heart skipped a heavy beat.
Pei Tingyuan didn't let go of the hand that was holding Qiao Xihe, and picked up the phone with a calm face.
"I have to go back to the old mansion tonight!" Old Man Pei said a word, and then the phone was hung up.
Pei Tingyuan shook his head helplessly at the mobile phone screen.
Qiao Xihe, who was next to him, heard the roar and said in a low voice: "You go over, I'll take a taxi home alone." ”
Pei Tingyuan grabbed her hand instead, "Who said you were going home alone?"
"You have to go to the old mansion, or grandpa will be angry again......" and then "of course" will put all the sins of disobedience on her head.
Qiao Xihe didn't want to be humiliated by the Pei family anymore.
Pei Tingyuan still held her hand firmly, and with the other hand, he clicked a few times on the mobile phone screen, and quickly dialed Ji Yang's phone.
"You go to the old mansion and report today's situation and the proposed treatment to the old man. You just pretend to remember what the old man says, and you don't have to tell me. ”
"Okay, Mr. Pei. ”
After Pei Tingyuan hung up the phone, Qiao Xihe said helplessly: "Are you pushing others into the pit?"
Pei Tingyuan shrugged his shoulders, "The old man won't do anything to Ji Yang." ”
Qiao Xihe scolded with a smile: "There is no fear. ”
"It's better to waste your brain on this issue, it's better to ......" Pei Tingyuan rubbed the back of Qiao Xihe's tender hand, "Why don't you think about it, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Qiao Xihe raised his other hand, and his fingertips drew circles on the back of Pei Tingyuan's hand. Pei Tingyuan didn't want her to bother with the affairs of Old Man Pei's side, she could understand it, but she couldn't suppress the faint panic in her heart.
She sighed silently, "It's okay to be lighter......"
Pei Tingyuan thought for a while, "Then I'll make pasta, and then pair it with refreshing and delicious soup and snacks, do you think it's okay?"
Qiao Xihe nodded, "Yes." ”
Pei Tingyuan hugged Qiao Xihe and stared at her calm face, but he couldn't ignore the slight frowning of his brows.
He understands that what happened today must be resolved as soon as possible.
No matter what tricks Lu Yang wants to play, now that everything is on the surface, he will never let him succeed and hurt Qiao Qiao in the slightest.
However, the next day, the illusion of calm in P.L. was finally shattered during the lunch break, and a rumor rekindled the storm.
At this time, Qiao Xihe was resting on the bed in Pei Tingyuan's office, and he was fine this morning, but after a full meal at noon, he was suddenly so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he simply slept beautifully in the lounge.
Pei Tingyuan slept with her until she went to work in the afternoon, then washed her face, returned to her desk and continued to do things.
He saw that Qiao Xihe was still sleeping soundly, and no one believed to wake her up.
Qiao Xihe slept full, and just stretched his waist and reached out to hook the clothes on the chair next to him, when he heard the sound of talking outside the lounge.
Somehow, barefoot, she tiptoed to the door and eavesdropped on the sound of the office.
"At the moment, there are several company executives who are skeptical...... Mrs. Pei is the one who leaked Miss An's design draft. Ji Yang said.
Qiao Xihe's heart slammed up, held his breath, and continued to listen carefully.
Ji Yang said: "Regarding the relationship between Mrs. Pei and Lu Yang, the company's senior management already knows, and they think that it is reasonable to suspect that Mrs. Pei and Lu Yang have actually been ...... The connection was broken, and Mrs. Pei had also been in and out of the president's office, so in front of interests and feelings, she chose to leak the design draft, which was crucial to P.L, to Lu Yang. ”
"Ridiculous. Pei Tingyuan said coldly, "Who do you mean?"
Ji Yang reported a few names, "...... At present, it is impossible to find out who told the company's top management about these things, and these opinions have been circulated within the company, and there are many people talking about them. ”
Pei Tingyuan pinched his eyebrows with a little headache, "Before there is conclusive evidence, it is forbidden to circulate unfounded rumors within the company, and once it is found, it will be dismissed immediately." ”
"Okay, Mr. Pei. "Ji Yang went out.
In the office, it was quiet again.
Qiao Xihe leaned her back against the wall in a dejected manner, and now, these gossips undoubtedly pushed her to the forefront again.
She took a few deep breaths with difficulty, and finally smoothed out her normal breathing, just at this time Pei Tingyuan answered a phone call, and then walked towards the lounge, she hurriedly ran back to the bed, covered her head with the quilt, and pretended to be asleep.
Pei Tingyuan opened the door and came in and shouted, "Qiaoqiao?"
He shouted several times, Qiao Xihe pretended to have just woken up, rubbed his eyes, and asked in a confused voice, "What's wrong?"
Pei Tingyuan sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over, held her face, and kissed her, "I feel that your complexion is still not very good, don't go downstairs to work in the afternoon, I will arrange a car to send you home, have a good rest, right?"
Qiao Xihe knew that he didn't want her to be bothered by the gossip in the company. Although the president gave an order, but the mouth grows on someone else, how can you send someone out to cover the mouth of the person and not let it make a sound?
However, she wanted to refuse.
She did a good job, she didn't collude with Lu Yang at all and leaked company secrets, why did she hide?
"Jojo, go home and rest? I'll prepare something to eat for the night, and I'll make it up for you. Pei Tingyuan said softly.
She looked into his tender watery eyes, and felt as if a warm breeze was blowing across her cheeks. She bit her lip and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll go home and rest." ”
If she chooses to stay in the company strongly, I'm afraid Pei Tingyuan will be distracted and worry about her situation.
Forget it, let Pei Tingyuan feel at ease and focus on serious work.
Pei Tingyuan picked up the skirt on the chair and handed it to Qiao Xihe, "The driver is already waiting downstairs, you get dressed...... Or, I'll help you wear it?"
Qiao Xihe's face turned red, she only had a set of underwear on her, and she could only rely on the quilt to cover her body, otherwise Pei Tingyuan, the big bad wolf, saw it, and maybe she would do something blushing and heartbeat in the office.
"No, I don't have to. Qiao Xihe grabbed the dress and dragged it into the quilt, "You go out, I have to change my clothes and tidy up my makeup, so it will take a little time, you can just wait for me outside." ”
Pei Tingyuan said: "Okay, but I can only give you five minutes." ”
"Why?" Qiao Xihe was puzzled.
"Because I had other arrangements, I went out first. After Pei Tingyuan finished speaking, he exited the lounge.
