Chapter 56: Come, who is afraid of whom
Qiao Ran is not a person who likes to cause trouble, but she is not afraid of things, Pei Xianglin deliberately provoked, how could she not hear it?
She looked at Pei Xianglin quietly, and said with a smile: "Cousin, this seems to be the first time that you have admitted that I am a member of the Pei family, should I be grateful to you?" ”
Unexpectedly, Pei Xianglin's face changed suddenly, "What did you say?" ”
Pei Hao, who had never spoken, also opened his mouth at this moment: "Ran Ran is right, why are you angry?" ”
Pei Xianglin glared at Pei Hao again, "Pei Hao, what are you helping her so far?" ”
"Xianglin!" Boss Pei grimaced, "How many times have I told you, Ah Hao is your brother, what do you call him by name?" ”
"He doesn't ...... at all" looked at Pei Lao Yuwei's eyes, and the words "not the Pei family" behind Pei Xianglin were swallowed back into his stomach.
Although Pei Hao is not related to the Pei family, for so many years, Pei Lao has always cultivated him as his own grandson and has also valued him very much.
Pei Xianglin knows all this.
Although she and Pei Hao are not in harmony, she is always acting in front of Pei Lao, if she hadn't been angry with Qiao Ran today, she wouldn't have said what she just said.
Seeing that Pei Xianglin was no longer entangled, Pei Lao did not pursue it anymore, and turned to look at Qiao Ran, and a kind smile appeared on his face for a moment, "Ranran, since you feel that it is inconvenient to change your surname, then don't mention this matter, grandpa respects you." ”
Qiao Ran served a bowl of soup to Pei Lao, "Thank you, grandpa." ”
This harmonious and warm scene fell in Pei Xianglin's eyes, making her even more depressed.
Why? One by one, they all held Qiao Ran in the palm of their hands.
Xie Ruiyu, Chu Junbei, Pei Hao, and Pei Lao, all like this!
Obviously, she was the most favored person in the Pei family before, but as soon as Qiao Ran came, everyone only cared about Qiao Ran, and even Pei Lao didn't love her anymore!
She was unwilling to give up like this, and she didn't want to see Qiao Ran's appearance so vigorous, she ate two grains of rice, and finally remembered one thing again: "By the way, Qiao Ran, speaking of which, you have now returned to Pei's house, if you continue to play tricks in the crew, it won't sound good to spread out, and others may think that your family is abusing you." ”
At first glance, she sounded like she was speaking for Qiao Ran, but after listening carefully, she knew that she was clearly saying that Qiao Ran, as the fourth lady of the Pei family, was playing tricks in the crew to discredit the Pei family.
Everyone here understands this meaning, but Pei Xianglin still looks like she is thinking about Qiao Ran, and says very intimately: "Otherwise, don't go to the crew in the future, our family is not short of that little money, right?" ”
Pei Lao's face, which had just softened down, became gloomy again after hearing Pei Xianglin's words.
Pei Hao also subconsciously wanted to help Qiao Ran speak, but when he saw Qiao Ran shaking his head slightly at him, he had to swallow back the words that came to his lips and gave Pei Lao vegetables, "Grandpa, you eat more." ”
But where can Pei Lao eat?
Since Qiao Ran moved back, Pei Xianglin has been targeting her, although it is not a big deal, but it is a bad thing.
In fact, he is still fond of Pei Xianglin, but this granddaughter doesn't know what's wrong recently, she has changed a lot, and she is not as docile and obedient as before.
Pei Lao was still sighing secretly, when he heard Qiao Ran say, "What's wrong with playing tricks?" I myself rely on my ability little by little, and there is no such thing as smearing or not discrediting. ”
As she spoke, she also looked at Pei Hao, "Brother, you said yes, right?" ”
Pei Hao nodded immediately, and glanced at Pei Xianglin meaningfully, "Of course, and if you work harder and score more points like this, others will only say that our Pei family's children are angry." ”
Pei Xianglin was angry and was about to refute, but she saw Qiao Ran's mouth touching her mouth again.
Then, she heard Qiao Ran's voice: "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you." ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on herself, Qiao Ran spoke unhurriedly: "Now that I am the second female number one in the crew, I wanted to say it later, but I didn't want to upset my cousin." ”
Pei Xianglin grinded her back teeth.
Don't want to upset her? She would be even more upset when she said that, right?
How long has it been? Why did Qiao Ran become the second female lead in the crew? Hasn't she been playing tricks in Xu Haodong's crew recently? How......
Pei Xianglin's eyes kept rolling, thinking about the answer in her heart, and she was in no mood to eat.
And her anxious appearance at the moment was all in Qiao Ran's eyes.
Originally, Qiao Ran was also because of Xu Shaodong. suddenly arranged a female No. 2 for herself, and she was unhappy, but now, she began to be grateful to Xu Haodong.
can see Pei Xianglin being angry like this, she doesn't lose.
Pei Lao was even more happy, and the folds on his face were much deeper with a smile, "Really? Congratulations! ”
Pei Hao also said: "Ranran, persevere, you will definitely become a good actor in the future." ”
Qiao Ran humbly thanked them, but the corner of her eyes kept observing Pei Xianglin.
It's so cool.
It's really cool.
Isn't it going to be a competition? Isn't it to embarrass her? Isn't it always at home that intentionally or unintentionally stumbling on her?
Come, who's afraid of whom?
Qiao Ran has improved, Pei Lao is really happy, and asked Qiao Ran if she is not used to it at home, Qiao Ran naturally said no.
Then Pei Lao said another thing that has been hanging in his heart these days: "Ranran, since you think everything is fine, then I want to hold a press conference to disclose your identity, what do you think?" ”
At this time, Pei Xianglin couldn't care about getting angry because of what happened just now, and a pair of eyes stared directly at Pei Lao, and her pupils expanded a lot.
Disclosure of identity? How does this work? If it is made public, then she will ...... in the future
"No, grandpa." Qiao Ran said politely, "That's too troublesome, and I have to worry about you." ”
Pei Xianglin breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, there is finally something, Qiao Ran has done it to her heart.
Pei Lao became sad, "Don't say that, grandpa has been sorry for you all these years and always wants to compensate you...... I can't make up for your mother, so I can only make it up to you......"
His voice was mournful, and it sounded like he was really regretting and apologizing for Pei Rong's business.
In fact, Qiao Ran has always wanted to know the details of the beginning, as well as her father's identity, but she didn't ask Pei Lao, and now that Pei Lao took the initiative to talk about it, it doesn't hurt for her to ask.
So, she pretended to be casual and said: "Grandpa, what happened back then?" How could my mom leave the house? And my dad......"
"It's all in the past, don't mention it." Pei Lao didn't wait for Qiao Ran to finish speaking, so he brought her a crab, "Ranran, you eat more." ”
Knowing that Pei Lao didn't want to say it, Qiao Ran didn't ask, and reached out to get the crab.
However, before his hand touched the crab, the crab was taken by Pei Hao.
By the time Pei Hao came back, the crab had already been opened.
Qiao Ranwan smiled, "Thank you, brother." ”
Pei Hao didn't speak, just smiled faintly, and wiped the ten fingers one by one with a napkin.
Pei Xianglin looked at this scene and felt even more unhappy. She drank the soup with her head down, hiding all her jealousy and madness from her eyes.
At night, Pei Xianglin did not go back to the room, but stood by the window of the living room, waiting for something.
Aunt Yun looked at her like this, and asked, "Third Miss, aren't you still sleeping?" ”
Pei Xianglin didn't reply, only said lightly: "You go to sleep first, I'll stay by myself for a while." ”
Aunt Yun didn't really care about Pei Xianglin herself, so when she heard her say this, she didn't say anything more and went to rest by herself.
After Aunt Yun returned to the room, Pei Xianglin turned off the ceiling light in the living room, leaving only a dim table lamp, and kept looking out the window.
I don't know how long I stood there, but finally, a car appeared in my sight.
Although the street lights were very dim and she couldn't see clearly, she still knew that it was Pei Chengqi's car.
Almost trotting, Pei Xianglin went to open the door.
Pei Chengqi looked at her, and took off his shoes while loosening his tie, "Why do you have to call me back?" Didn't I tell you? I have a very important party tonight. ”
Pei Xianglin took the slippers and threw them in front of him, and her tone was indifferent: "It's almost twelve o'clock, no matter how much you socialize, you should be done socializing." ”
In fact, Pei Chengqi didn't smell of alcohol at all, but she didn't want to expose it.
Entering the living room, Pei Chengqi lazily lay on the sofa, rubbed his forehead and asked, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”
Although they are brother and sister, they are not often together.
has been a brother and sister for more than 20 years, and in terms of getting along, they are actually not as close as Qiao Ran and Pei Hao.
However, fortunately, their interests are the same, so Pei Chengqi always has patience with Pei Xianglin.
poured a glass of water for Pei Chengqi, and Pei Xianglin asked: "Brother, grandpa said today that he wanted Qiao Ran to change his surname back to Pei, and also said that he would hold a press conference to disclose her identity to everyone." ”
She didn't say a word about Qiao Ran's refusal.
Pei Chengqi sat up straight suddenly, frowned, and said, "What? Disclosure of identity? ”
He didn't bother to drink water and began to complain: "Grandpa, this is an old fool, right?" Just take it back, okay, why do you have to disclose your identity? ”
Seeing his anger and irritability in his eyes, Pei Xianglin continued: "Yes, you are not at home during this time, so you don't know a lot of things. Qiao Ran has a lot of tricks, and she is used to pleasing her grandfather. Now that Dad is not here, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it is not impossible for Grandpa to give all his property to Qiao Ran in the future. ”
Pei Chengqi touched his chin, as if thinking about something.
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Pei Xianglin, his eyes rolling up and down on her.
Pei Xianglin was uncomfortable with him, so she asked, "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ”
Pei Chengqi laughed and lay back on the sofa, "Xianglin, you are my sister, I know what you are thinking." I've seen that Qiao Ran, although she has been living a poor life before, but her eyebrows and eyes don't look simple, but if you want to say that she pleases her grandfather, ......"
The last time he saw Qiao Ran, he didn't see how much Qiao Ran was flattering to Pei Lao, and he could even be said to be a little indifferent.
And he also inquired that Qiao Ran was even reluctant to return to Pei's house at first, because his adoptive mother left.
