When Chu Junbei was talking about the whole thing, Qiao Ran just listened quietly all the time, without much emotional ups and downs.

Her appearance looked calm, but Chu Junbei was so worried that she couldn't do it, and her voice was softer and asked her, "Are you okay?" ”

Qiao Ran shook her head.

After a while, she asked, "That executive, is that my father?" ”

"It should be." Chu Jun said, "Aunt Pei Rong only had one boyfriend for him, and the two were engaged at that time. ”

Qiao Ran nodded, speechless.

If this matter had been opened before, Qiao Ran might have found it difficult to accept, but after these recent events, she was not so surprised.

What should have been known a long time ago is definitely not a trivial matter to let Pei Rong leave the Pei family and let Pei Lao ignore his biological daughter.

There was silence in the car.

Chu Junbei was a little worried, but he didn't know what to say to comfort Qiao Ran.

He was never a comforter.

When he was about to arrive at Hongliu Lane, Qiao Ran asked, "Did my father do what happened back then?" ”

"I don't know." Chu Junbei replied very honestly, "Twenty-one years have passed since the incident, and what I can find out now is very limited. ”

Not wanting to disappoint Qiao Ran, Chu Junbei quickly added: "But I will continue to investigate." ”

Qiao Ran turned his head to look at the man who was driving the car steadily, his eyebrows and eyes were soft, and he suddenly said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

It was these two words that made Chu Junbei's hands tremble.

Qiao Ran would rarely say such polite words to him, so polite that he ...... Make him feel uncomfortable.

With a dry cough, Chu Junbei said coldly: "You don't have to thank me." ”

Qiao Ran didn't say those two words again.

When she arrived at Hongliu Lane, in fact, Qiao Ran didn't do anything, just stayed, sat on the sofa for a while, and went to Qiao Pingping's room for a while.

Qiao Pingping left suddenly, and many things were not taken away, so Qiao Ran took out those things and fiddled with them.

It's as if Qiao Pingping is still in Su City, as if she only needs to wait a little longer, Qiao Pingping will push open the door and call her like before, or, Qiao Pingping will carry a bottle of wine in her hand, tilt her body and walk in front of her, crying and accusing her new boyfriend of what a scumbag bastard.

Thinking of those past events, Qiao Ran couldn't help but smile.

Here, she always feels at ease.

Chu Junbei stayed with her and didn't say anything.

The two stayed for an afternoon until it was getting dark and the sun was setting.

Chu Junbei patted Qiao Ran's shoulder and said softly, "I'll send you back to Pei's house." ”

Pei Hao saw that it was dark and Qiao Ran hadn't come back yet, he was anxious, and was about to make a phone call to ask, when Chu Junbei's car stopped at the door of Pei's house.

"Why did you come back so late?" Pei Hao opened the co-pilot's door and looked at Qiao Ran with some blame, "I thought something happened to you." ”

Chu Junbei, who usually doesn't smile, heard this, and couldn't help but joke: "She is with me, what can happen?" Do you believe me? ”

"It's because I'm with you that I'm not at ease." Pei Hao said.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Chu Junbei felt that Pei Hao's words were a bit ...... Overtones.

However, he didn't take it to heart, and followed Qiao Ran into the door generously, and the reason was also very open: to visit Pei Lao.

So, Pei Hao didn't want to say anything more.

However, after they entered the living room, they didn't see Pei Lao's person, but saw Xie Ruiyu who was with Pei Xianglin.

didn't expect Xie Ruiyu to come over, Qiao Ran was stunned for a while before reacting, and asked, "Senior Xie, why are you here?" ”

She was a little excited, and the calm and waves along the way were all stirred, although the waves were not intense, but Chu Junbei could feel it.

Remembering that last time at the banquet, Qiao Ran was so concerned about Xie Ruiyu, Chu Junbei's eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing Qiao Ran at Pei's house, Xie Ruiyu was also very surprised.

He was originally a very gentlemanly person, got up from the sofa, and smiled at Qiao Ran, "Are you there too?" I came to look for Xianglin, but I didn't expect to see you. By the way, congratulations on returning to Pei's house. ”

Xie Ruiyu didn't know much about the Pei family, so when he said this, he didn't avoid Pei Xianglin.

Pei Xianglin originally ignored Xie Ruiyu a little, but when she saw him talking to Qiao Ran like this, she was a little unhappy.

Xie Ruiyu usually follows her buttocks, when is it Qiao Ran's turn to talk casually?

She wanted to show Qiao Ran a little color, but because of Chu Junbei's presence, she couldn't go too far.

So she simply came to Chu Junbei and said softly: "Mr. Chu, why are you here?" ”

"I'll send Qiao Ran back." Chu Junbei's face was expressionless, and he didn't even look at Pei Xianglin when he spoke.

Pei Xianglin's hanging hand pinched the hem of her skirt hard.

On that side, Pei Hao touched Chu Junbei's arm, "Aren't you going to visit my grandfather?" He's in the study, I'll take you up. ”

Since he came to Pei's house, since Pei Hao had spoken, Chu Junbei naturally couldn't refute, so he had to keep up with Pei Hao.

Before going upstairs, he said to Qiao Ran, "I'll come down in a while." ”

His eyes were clearly seen by Pei Xianglin, so Pei Xianglin's heart was even more uncomfortable.

Why? Why do they all have to revolve around Qiao Ran? Since Qiao Ran moved back to the Pei family, her status in the family is completely incomparable to before, why should she suffer such grievances?

Pei Xianglin, who has been pampered for more than 20 years, was a little domineering, and now she felt even more unbearable, she came to Xie Ruiyu, grabbed Xie Ruiyu's arm, and asked Qiao Ran with an intimate look: "Qiao Ran, Chu always sent you back?" You're on good terms. ”

She had a harmless smile on her face, and she looked like she really cared about Qiao Ran, "I misunderstood you at the banquet last time, but Mr. Chu also spoke for you at that time, and he was very protective of you." ”

Saying such words in her mouth, Pei Xianglin looked at Qiao Ran for a while, and then at Xie Ruiyu.

However, Xie Ruiyu only felt a little guilty about Qiao Ran, a junior sister, because of what happened last time, so he didn't feel anything, but Qiao Ran's eyelashes drooped slightly.

She knew that Pei Xianglin did it on purpose, deliberately pretending to be intimate with Xie Ruiyu in front of her.

Actually, if it weren't for Pei Xianglin's bad temperament, she would still be quite compatible with Xie Ruiyu.

There were all kinds of imaginations in his mind, but Qiao Ran's answer was not chaotic: "I just know Mr. Chu." ”

She smiled and met Pei Xianglin's gaze, "And the reason why I came back with Mr. Chu today is because my brother took me to the Chu family." Cousin, if you don't believe me, ask my brother later? ”

The smile on Pei Xianglin's face froze.

She didn't like to hear Qiao Ran call her "cousin", she felt disgusting and felt that Qiao Ran was unworthy.

But her image of operating outside does not allow her to do very excessive things in front of Qiao Ran in front of outsiders, especially Xie Ruiyu is still her suitor.

Although she has never put Xie Ruiyu in her eyes, Xie Ruiyu is the prince charming in the minds of so many girls, and such a suitor allows her to get more envious eyes.

She enjoyed the feeling, the feeling of being looked up to.

So she wanted to maintain her image in front of Xie Ruiyu, and the last thing she could do was to glare at Qiao Ran fiercely where Xie Ruiyu couldn't see, and then found an excuse and walked away.

This is exactly what Qiao Ran wants.

Seeing Pei Xianglin's figure disappear from her sight, Qiao Ran turned to Xie Ruiyu, "Senior Xie, do you like my cousin?" ”

She asked the question very bluntly.

In fact, she knows the answer without asking, after all, Xie Ruiyu's eyes when she looks at Pei Xianglin are different from those who look at others, the love in it is so clear and so hot, she can see and feel it.

Xie Ruiyu is a fairly introverted person, he was embarrassed to be asked by Qiao Ran, a thin red appeared on his fair face, and a smile spread on his lips, although he said it implicitly, but he showed his heart: "Xianglin...... Very good. ”

As he spoke, his face turned even redder.

Qiao Ran: "......"

The seniors are all in their twenties, why are they still so easy to blush?

She picked her little head, and with the pure heart of not wanting to see her benefactor suffer, she made a very cautious suggestion: "Actually...... Senior, you are so good, there should be many other good girls around you, my cousin may not be suitable for you. ”

"Huh?" Xie Ruiyu felt a little strange to say such words from Qiao Ran's mouth, raised his head, and looked at her a little blankly.

After all, in Xie Ruiyu's impression, Qiao Ran is quiet, not a person who likes to talk about people's rights and wrongs.

Qiao Ran smiled embarrassedly, "I'm just talking about it casually." ”

Then she lowered her head and rubbed the hem of her clothes vigorously, just at this time Aunt Yun brought her the freshly brewed tea, so she held the teacup in both hands and drank the tea quietly.

It's just that when I drank tea, I didn't dare to look at Xie Ruiyu.

It was also because of this that she didn't know Xie Ruiyu's expression, and she didn't know at all that her advice to Xie Ruiyu just now had Xie Ruiyu misunderstood.

Xie Ruiyu's family background is not bad, he has studied piano since he was a child, has an excellent demeanor, and has always been very dazzling.

So he actually gained the hearts of many girls, and many of them had the courage to confess to him.

Once he was stopped by a school girl at school and handed over a love letter, the appearance of that school girl at that time was similar to the current Qiao Ran.

So he mistakenly thought that Qiao Ran was confessing to him in a very roundabout way and probing his mind.

He was a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said very tactfully: "Qiao Ran, I am sincere to Xianglin, and I have never thought of being with others, do you know?" ”

Qiao Ran didn't know that Xie Ruiyu had misunderstood what she meant, but she heard Xie Ruiyu's resoluteness.

After all, it's someone else's business, and it's not good for her to interfere too much, and she doesn't have that position to interfere, so she just nodded, "I know, Senior Xie, I wish you your happiness as soon as possible." ”

In fact, she hoped that Xie Ruiyu would be able to see through what kind of person Pei Xianglin was as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if they are really together in the future, Xie Ruiyu will suffer.
