Chapter 528: Borrowing Money
Eric pursed his lips, a little embarrassed, "When I went out, I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring my wallet...... I only have ...... all I have in my body now. Some nowadays, only enough money to get back to the hotel, so ...... I would like to buy a bottle of wine and give it to my parents, who have always loved the wines of ChΓ’teau Marquet. β
Pei Tingyuan sneered unabashedly, "Mr. Cui, this is too ridiculous, isn't it?
Eric shrugged his shoulders, "One hundred secrets." He looked at Qiao Xihe again, with a bit of sincerity in his tone, "I don't know if Miss Qiao is convenient, if not, it seems that I can only get a bottle of red wine through other methods." β
"You can try something else. Pei Tingyuan said crisply.
Eric smiled wryly, "Okay. β
Qiao Xihe secretly pulled Pei Tingyuan's sleeve a little uncomfortably, and whispered: "Tingyuan, Eric helped me before, let's do this...... It's just borrowing some money, and it's nothing compared to how he helped me. β
"Qiaoqiao......" Pei Tingyuan's eyes sank.
He didn't want Jojo to have too much to do with Eric.
Today, Ike appeared at the cocktail party, and when he met, he met him, but he felt that this Eric Cui was constantly trying to create more opportunities to have more contact with Qiao Xihe.
If Qiao Qiao borrowed money from him, there would be a matter of repaying the money in the future, which would involve them again, and such repeated entanglement and involvement of human feelings would definitely not stop.
The surname Cui appeared again and again, although it did not cause any substantial harm to Qiaoqiao, but he had a hunch that more involvement would lead to more trouble.
So, even if it makes Jojo unhappy, playing a black face, and being a bad guy, he still has to stop all this.
Qiao Xihe also clearly felt the compelling momentum and unhappy emotions exuded by the men around him.
She swallowed hard, and suddenly she didn't understand why Pei Tingyuan resisted Eric so much, as if she was disgusted with any man, even if it was just the most ordinary friend?
In fact, she also knew that Pei Tingyuan was worried that she would be hurt, but she was not a little white flower that had grown in the greenhouse since she was born, and she had not experienced any wind and frost.
She also needs friends, and in her long life, she needs the help of her friends, so naturally, she will try her best to help her friends.
Qiao Xihe looked left and right, and couldn't help but speak: "Ting Yuan, it's just a small favor? If you're afraid that Eric won't pay back, let him write an IOU? Moreover, he and Rex and Lambert all know each other, so ...... We don't have to be so stiff and ugly, do we?"
Pei Tingyuan's brows furrowed even deeper, "Qiaoqiao, do you think he is your friend?"
"yes. Qiao Xihe didn't hesitate and nodded in response.
At this moment, she felt that Pei Tingyuan's face was even more ugly.
And Eric seemed to sense that the atmosphere between them was not very good, and hurriedly said, "If it's inconvenient, I'll go find Mrs. Lambert......
"Wait a minute. Qiao Xihe didn't wait for Pei Tingyuan to say anything, so he stopped him.
She understands that it will be a little "embarrassing" for juniors to borrow money from their elders, and how big of a face does Eric have to pull down to go to Mrs. Lambert?
"I can lend you money, nothing inconvenient. Qiao Xihe said, opening his handbag, "How much do you need?"
The air pressure around her was further reduced, and she thought, He Pei Tingyuan's matter will be solved later, today Ken will definitely help Eric, and then this contradiction between them will naturally be made clear through this matter.
Eric looked at Pei Tingyuan with some embarrassment, but was more delighted, "I'm going to bid 60,000." β
"Okay. Qiao Xihe nodded.
Eric hurriedly said, "I'll borrow a pen and paper, and if I buy wine, I'll write you an IOU." β
"Hmm. Qiao Xihe nodded.
"Thank you, Miss Joe. Eric nodded, didn't bother them any longer, and went to the waiter.
At this moment, there are only two people left, Qiao Xihe and Pei Tingyuan, and there are many people present, who are aware of Pei Tingyuan's aura of "no one should approach" at this moment, and everyone is thinking about the bidding, so they didn't come to talk to them.
Except for Lu Xiwen.
Although there was some distance, the faces and aura of the three people were clearly visible to her.
She knew that there must be a contradiction between Qiao Xihe and Pei Tingyuan.
She smiled slightly, thought for a while, and stepped forward, "Brother Tingyuan, this price ...... You're more familiar with Mr. Rex, so I'd like to hear your advice. β
"I don't know. Pei Tingyuan said coldly, and didn't look at Lu Xiwen.
Qiao Xihe said: "I haven't inquired about this, you can refer to the prices of previous years." β
"......" Although Lu Xiwen felt that she didn't refuse like this, she was very shameless, but she was more sure of the conjecture in her heart.
Pei Tingyuan actually quarreled with Qiao Xihe...... It seems that nine times out of ten, she is inseparable from the Eric who spoke to them just now, which is really rare, and she has bumped into such a great opportunity.
She pretended not to see the atmosphere getting more and more weird, and said with a smile: "Brother Tingyuan, you can give me an idea, my family is waiting for my good news......" As she spoke, she deliberately put her body on Pei Tingyuan's body.
Who knows, Pei Tingyuan dodged to the side, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Jojo, go get something to eat. Pei Tingyuan said, took Qiao Xihe's hand and walked away.
"Ting ......" Lu Xiwen opened her mouth, but Pei Tingyuan didn't mean to pay attention to her at all.
What the hell is this guy doing?!
She stomped her feet in anger, and the heels of her high heels "clicked" on the ground, attracting the attention of several people next to her.
"......" Lu Xiwen knew that she had lost her temper and quickly slipped away.
Pei Tingyuan dragged Qiao Xihe to the dining table of few people, gently shook off his hand, suppressed the anger in his heart, took a clean dinner plate, took a few foods that Qiao Xihe liked to eat, and then stuffed them into her hands.
"It seems that eating can only plug your mouth. β
"......" Qiao Xihe bit his lip, lowered his voice and said, "Tingyuan, I want to make one thing clear......"
"You eat first. Pei Tingyuan interrupted her sharply.
"Ting Yuan!" Qiao Xihe accentuated his tone and put the dinner plate back on the table, "I don't think that even if we are husband and wife, you have no right to interfere with me making friends." β
