Pei Xianglin felt unconvinced.

is just a person with a foreign surname, what qualifications do you have to be called the fourth lady of the Pei family?

But even if she is not convinced, there is no way, this family, in the end, Pei Lao is still in charge.

Aunt Yun held the fruit plate in her hand, and took two steps forward with a smile, "Third Miss, are you still in trouble?" ”

In the past, I heard the maid at home call herself "Third Miss", Pei Xianglin was happy to hear it, but now she only felt embarrassed.

Glancing at the new "Fourth Miss", Pei Xianglin threw out a sentence of "Hello for yourself", raised her feet and left.

Listening to the footsteps gradually fade away, the smile on Aunt Yun's face faded a lot, but it seemed more cordial.

"Fourth Miss, these are all prepared by the old gentleman, can you try them?"

"Thank you." Qiao Ran let Aunt Yun into the house, forked a piece of pulp and put it in her mouth, and smiled at Aunt Yun again, "It's very sweet." ”

Seeing Qiao Ran eating happily, Aunt Yun's eyes were actually a little moist.

After so many years, she didn't expect to see this face again.

It's not lying in the album coldly, but it's so vivid, right in front of me.

It's a living face, a living person.

Thinking of Pei Rong at the beginning, Aunt Yun couldn't help but feel sentimental, raised her hand, and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

The way she looked scared Qiao Ran, and hurriedly asked, "Aunt Yun, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing, just thinking of the old lady...... It's your mother. ”

Speaking of Pei Rong, Qiao Ran also lost the mind to eat fruits.

Putting down the fork, her eyes fell on the doll that she had casually placed on the bed, "I ...... her I don't have any impression at all, but I have a feeling that I am very similar to her. ”

She smiled again, "Actually, I also like the fragrance of plum blossoms, and I also chase stars...... Although I haven't lived with her for a day, this kind of thing is really amazing. ”

After a pause, she asked Aunt Yun again: "Aunt Yun, why did my mother leave the Pei family back then, do you know?" ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Yun was slightly stunned, and after a while, she lowered her eyelids and avoided Qiao Ran's gaze.

"That...... At that time, I had just arrived at Pei's house, and I didn't know what was going on. After a pause, she changed her tone again, "Fourth Miss, since so many years have passed, and you have now returned to the Pei family, then don't worry about the previous things, right?" ”

Qiao Ran faintly felt that Aunt Yun should have hidden something from herself between her words, but after all, she had just come back and had not yet figured out many things, so she didn't ask any more, but nodded, "Okay, I know." ”

Later, Qiao Ran asked Aunt Yun about the rest of the Pei family, mainly Pei Chengqi and Pei Ping, whom she had never met.

According to Aunt Yun, Pei Ping was sent abroad by Pei Lao before, and he hasn't come back yet, as for Pei Chengqi, he often doesn't go home, and Pei Lao doesn't care much about him.

Qiao Ran kept these words in her heart and thought about it secretly.

It seems that Pei Ping and Pei Chengqi's father and son should not win Pei Lao's heart very much.

Because Qiao Ran came back today, Pei Lao specially instructed Aunt Yun to make more dishes, and he was glad that he had carefully inquired with Qiao Pingping about Qiao Ran's taste before.

So when I eat in the evening, the table is full of heavy and spicy dishes, and only a few of them have a relatively light taste.

Pei Xianglin was not very happy when she saw it, and asked with a frown: "These dishes have no appetite when they look at them, how can they be eaten?" ”

It's no wonder that Pei Xianglin is unhappy, in order to maintain her figure, she has always paid attention to her diet, and her meals have always been light on oil and salt, mainly light.

But as soon as she said this, Pei Lao was not happy, "Why can't you eat it?" It's full of color and flavor, and it looks so appetizing. ”

Pei Hao also said: "And I also made the dishes you usually like to eat, Xianglin, don't pick them." ”

Pei Xianglin glanced at Pei Hao.

This person doesn't have any Pei family blood, but because Pei Lao likes him, he has never taken himself seriously, and Pei Xianglin has long had enough.

So don't forget to find trouble with Pei Hao at this time.

"Pei Hao, I heard that the project you invested in was losing money?" She propped her elbows on the dining table, and looked at Pei Hao with crooked eyes, "Why didn't you report to grandpa?" ”

"I know that thing, I know it in my heart, you don't have to worry about it." Pei Lao said, sandwiched a piece of boiled pork into Qiao Ran's plate, and even softened his tone, "Ranran, you taste it and see if it suits your taste." ”

Seeing that Pei Lao actually cared so much about Qiao Ran, Pei Xianglin was so angry that she grinded her back teeth and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, my brother hasn't come back yet." ”

Speaking of Pei Chengqi, Pei Lao was even more unhappy, "It's not the first time that he doesn't come back, it's usually okay, what day is today?" Why don't you count at all? ”

Then he looked at Qiao Ran again, "Ranran, let's eat first, don't wait for him." ”

As he was talking, the housekeeper Lao Zhao came in, "Old man, the eldest young master is back." ”

The "eldest young master" in the mouth of Steward Zhao naturally refers to the grandson of the Pei family, Pei Chengqi.

Qiao Ran hadn't seen Pei Chengqi yet, and looked at the door with some curiosity.

In a matter of seconds, a man in a casual suit came in.

In his thirties, he looks very good-looking, somewhat similar to Pei Ping in old photos, his body is thin and thin, but his taste is a little worse, with a blue shirt tied with a red tie and a black casual suit on the outside.

The aesthetic of "......" is not at all like Pei Xianglin's brother and sister, Qiao Ran thought.

Although she thought so in her heart, Qiao Ran still stood up first, nodded slightly, and said, "Cousin." ”

Pei Chengqi was walking inside, and suddenly heard this "cousin", but he was stunned for a moment.

Pei Hao wouldn't call him that, and he was still called a woman.

Squinting his eyes and looking at Qiao Ran, Pei Chengqi smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "You are Qiao Ran, right?" I heard that you came back today, I was too busy with work, and I came back late, you weren't angry, right? ”

Although this sounded polite, but there was no intention of waiting for Qiao Ran to answer, the others had already arrived at the dining table, holding the chair in their hands, standing crookedly, and said in a lazy tone: "Grandpa." ”

Pei Lao didn't even look at him, just asked Qiao Ran to sit down to eat, and then looked at Pei Chengqi, "Do you still know to come back?" ”

Pei Chengqi didn't care whether Pei Lao allowed him to sit down, so he pulled out a chair and sat down, holding chopsticks and said, "Didn't I say it?" There are too many things in the company, so grandpa won't be angry with me about this. ”

He took two bites of the dish, "Yes, this dish is very well done." ”

Then he looked at Qiao Ran again, and greeted him very warmly: "You're welcome, eat." I know that you are a newcomer, but since you have returned to the Pei family, you will put away the small family style in the past, don't let people think that we have treated you badly. ”

The meaning of these words is clearly to treat Qiao Ran as an outsider.

Qiao Ran ate quietly with chopsticks, did not speak, and with a casual glance out of the corner of her eye, she saw the corners of Pei Xianglin's mouth raised slightly.

It seems that Pei Xianglin has told Pei Chengqi about her previous days.

But it doesn't matter, it's nothing unpleasant, poor is a little poor, but she hasn't done anything bad.

And she didn't plan to deal with Pei Chengqi.

But Pei Chengqi's words made Pei Hao unable to listen to it, he frowned and said, "You speak well." ”

Pei Chengqi smiled, grinned, leaned back in the chair, and swept his gaze lazily to Pei Hao's body, "Yo, what did I say that didn't make you unhappy?" ”

"Cheng Qi." Pei Lao leaned on crutches, "Just eat, don't look for trouble." ”

Pei Chengqi then said "I know" in a procrastinating tone, although it was still very strange to look at Qiao Ran's gaze, but there was nothing else to say in the end.

The relationship between this family does not seem to be harmonious.

Because she didn't get along with Pei Xianglin, Qiao Ran was ready for everything, if Pei Xianglin was looking for trouble with her, she would always have a way to deal with it.

But after a few days of peace and quiet, nothing happened, Pei Xianglin was just lukewarm to her, but she didn't stir up trouble in the end.

As for Pei Chengqi, he has very little time to go home, he doesn't come back for two of the three days, and he doesn't know what to do outside.

After a few days, Qiao Ran was familiar with everything at home, and Pei Lao proposed to let Pei Hao take Qiao Ran to the company to have a look.

As soon as she heard the company, Qiao Ran was a little cowardly, "I'm not going, right?" I don't know any of those things. ”

"You just don't know how to learn." Pei Lao was kind and seductive, "Ran Ran is so smart, if you get in touch with it more, you will soon be able to learn it." ”

Pei Hao also said: "Go ahead, I'll tell you about the company's project, if you're not interested, I'll take you out to play." ”

For this, Pei Lao didn't say anything, only said that let Pei Hao arrange it by himself, he must take care of Qiao Ran's mood, and let Qiao Ran tell Pei Hao no matter what happens, don't be stuffy in your heart.

Qiao Ran agreed kindly, but immediately leaned back on the seat after getting into the car, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

She felt tired.

The people of the Pei family, except for Pei Xianglin's brothers and sisters, everyone took good care of her, but it was precisely because of that thoughtfulness that she was full of exhaustion.

She missed Qiao Pingping.

Several times she dreamed of Qiao Pingping, dreamed of the time when she used to eat instant noodles in a rental house with her, and dreamed of the only time they went to the playground, and later, Qiao Pingping in the dream gradually avoided being blurred and hazy, waving her hands farther and farther away from her, asking her to take good care of herself.

She woke up crying every time.

I don't know where Qiao Pingping is now and how she is doing.

Although she used to be poor, she was at least happy, but now, she only feels tired.

When she arrived at the company, she was even more tired.

She couldn't read those documents at all, Pei Hao introduced her whenever she met people, and everyone called her "Miss Qiao", and her respectful appearance made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Brother, you don't have to say hello to me one by one." Qiao Ran tapped her neck and slapped her face again, "My face is almost stiff with laughter." ”

For this, Pei Hao was accustomed to this, and reassured: "Workplace etiquette, don't listen to what you say." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "I'm going to go out in a while, will you go?" ”
