Lao Chen pointed to a teahouse not far away, "The old gentleman said, if you come back, let me take you over, and he will wait for you inside." ”

Qiao Ran looked at the uncle in front of him again.

Next year is so much older than her, and she still has a "you", she really feels awkward when she listens.

As if he was afraid that Qiao Ran would feel uncomfortable, Chu Junbei asked, "I'll go with you?" ”

Qiao Ran turned her head to look at him.

Under the sunset, the man's whole body is shrouded in a warm halo, a very handsome man, although he usually looks cold and cold, but at the moment it gives people a warmth.

For a moment, Qiao Ran really wanted Chu Junbei to accompany her.

But the moment she spoke, she changed her mind.

What is her relationship with Chu Junbei? These things are all her private affairs, what reason is there for Chu Junbei to get involved?

So, she finally just shook her head, "No need, I'll just go over by myself." Mr. Chu, thank you for sending me back today. ”

Seeing that Qiao Ran really had no intention of letting himself accompany him, Chu Junbei was not embarrassed, but just nodded to Lao Chen, said hello, and got into the car by himself.

Qiao Ran looked at Lao Chen at this time, "Please lead the way." ”

Then, she followed Lao Chen to the teahouse.

In the private room of the teahouse, Pei Lao is sitting on the sofa cooking tea, and the small tearoom is full of the fragrance of tea, which smells very good.

It's just that Qiao Ran can't relax, and she doesn't have the leisure to taste the fragrance of tea at this time.

When he sat down opposite Pei Lao, Qiao Ran asked respectfully, "Old man, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Originally, after seeing Qiao Ran, Pei Lao's face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles looked deeper, and he was about to pour tea for Qiao Ran.

But when he heard Qiao Ran's sentence "old man", his mood seemed to have dropped from the clouds to the bottom, and the taste was really uncomfortable.

But he still poured tea into the cup in front of Qiao Ran.

"Ranran, don't you still want to call me grandpa?" Pei Lao was a little lost, and his voice became even more old, "I thought that after so many days, you should have figured it out." ”

Qiao Ran shook her head, "Old man, my mother's surname is Qiao, her name is Qiao Pingping, you have found the wrong person." ”

Pei Lao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I'm pretty sure, you are Rong'er's daughter." ”

Without waiting for Qiao Ran to speak again, he said again: "If you don't believe it, we can do an appraisal." ”

Qiao Ran frowned, looked at the old man sitting opposite, and his tone was a little unkind: "Do an appraisal?" What to do for identification? ”

"You and Ms. Qiao will do a paternity test to find out if she is your mother or not." After a pause, Pei Lao said again, "We can also do a kinship test, after all, you have my blood on your body, science will not deceive people." ”

Qiao Ran's brows furrowed even deeper.

Seeing that she didn't admit that she was from the Pei family, he wanted to pull her to do an appraisal? What is the rationale for this?

However, before Qiao Ran could speak, there was a knock on the door, and with Pei Lao's "come in", the door of the tea room was opened, and Pei Hao and Qiao Pingping also came in.

"Mom?!" Qiao Ran stood up suddenly, "Why are you here?" ”

Qiao Pingping was standing beside Pei Hao, different from her usual, she didn't even dare to say anything at the moment, as if she was afraid of something, and after a while she muttered: "Ranran......"

But as soon as she saw Pei Lao, who was still sitting and tasting tea, she swallowed all the words back into her stomach, and she didn't dare to say a word.

Over the years, Qiao Pingping has been in the night market, and all kinds of people have seen it, and it can be regarded as easy to maneuver around, this is the first time Qiao Ran has seen her so restrained in front of a person.

Pei Lao put down the purple sand teacup and looked up at Qiao Ran, "I asked Ah Hao to bring Ms. Qiao." Ranran, if you want, then I'll let someone arrange it......"

"Mr. Pei." Qiao Ran bit her lower lip, the expression on her face was not very good-looking, and even her respect was reduced a lot, "Don't you think you are doing this too much?" ”

Pei Hao was next to him, and when he heard Qiao Ran talking to Pei Lao like this, he hurriedly reminded him: "Qiao Ran ......"

It's okay that he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Qiao Ran sprinkled all his anger on him: "And you!" You approached me for a purpose, and today you brought my mother over, what do you want to do? Did you know she would be scared? I didn't provoke you, did I? Why are you doing this to me? ”

"Ranran, don't do this." Qiao Pingping was a little flustered, walked a few steps quickly and grabbed Qiao Ran's arm, "Mr. Pei just said to bring me over to see you, I came here because I was afraid that something would happen to you, he didn't threaten me with anything, don't worry." ”

Having said that, when Qiao Pingping spoke, her voice was clearly trembling.

Although she has been trying her best to control it, Qiao Ran has lived with her for twenty years, how can she not hear it, how can she not know what she is thinking?

"Mom, you ......"

"It's okay." Qiao Pingping shook her head at Qiao Ran, signaling that she was fine.

On the contrary, she was relieved to see that Qiao Ran was fine.

Pulling Qiao Ran behind her, Qiao Pingping took a deep breath, and then said to Pei Lao: "Old man, Pei Hao has already told me about Ran Ran on the way here, but you are really mistaken, Qiao Ran is my daughter, she is not a child of the Pei family." ”

Hearing Qiao Pingping say such words, Pei Lao was a little surprised, "She looks exactly like my daughter......"

"There are billions of people in this world, what's so strange about two people looking alike?"

Pei Lao has been immersed in the mall all his life, although he is old now, but in the end he still has an aura, Qiao Pingping didn't dare to look directly, turned her eyes slightly, and continued forcefully, "In short, no matter what you say, Qiao Ran is my daughter, I was born in October, and she has nothing to do with your Pei family." ”

Saying that, Qiao Pingping took Qiao Ran's hand, "Don't be afraid, Ranran, I'll take you home." ”

Qiao Ran's heart warmed, but at this time, she found that Qiao Pingping's palms had already been covered with a thin layer of sweat, and she was even trembling slightly.

Pei Lao originally planned to recognize Qiao Ran back today, but he didn't expect Qiao Pingping's reaction to be so big, he had a temper, and his face sank, "Qiao Pingping, since you said that she is your daughter, it is better to go to the hospital......"

"Do the appraisal, huh?" Qiao Pingping interrupted Pei Lao's words, with a sneer in the corners of her eyes, "I'm sorry, you don't have the right to ask our mother and daughter to do an appraisal." ”

She led Qiao Ran to the door, and when she saw Pei Hao blocking there, her eyebrows furrowed, "Mr. Pei, I'm going to take my daughter home now, please get out of the way." ”

Pei Hao didn't let him, until he saw Pei Lao nodding slightly towards him, and then he took a step to the side.

But just when Qiao Ran was about to go out, he stretched out his hand again and pressed Qiao Ran's shoulder, "Qiao Ran, listen to me......"

"I'm sorry Mr. Pei, I'm going home." Qiao Ran shook off his hand and followed Qiao Pingping without looking back.

Pei Hao stood at the door, looking down at the right hand that had just been pulled off his shoulder by Qiao Ran.

In the palm of his hand, two slender long black hairs lie quietly.

As soon as Qiao Ran arrived home, she received a call from Chu Junbei, who seemed to be worried about her and called to ask if anything had happened.

Qiao Pingping's mood has not been very stable since she went home, but Qiao Ran didn't tell Chu Junbei about this, just prevaricated casually and wanted to hang up the phone.

Chu Junbei was so smart, he naturally sensed her intentions, and suddenly said before she hung up the phone: "Wait a minute." ”

He has always been the one who gives orders, and I don't know if it's because of this, Qiao Ran actually did what he said, and even asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds, and it seemed that she still heard Chu Junbei take a breath, and then heard his voice: "Actually...... If there's anything you can tell me. ”

Qiao Ran was stunned.

Before he could react, Chu Junbei added another sentence: "I can help you." ”

He said this during the meal.

But Qiao Ran didn't agree at that time.

In that case, she wouldn't say yes now.

"Thank you." Qiao Ran lowered her eyelashes, and her voice was as usual, "But this is our family's business, and I will take care of it myself, so I won't trouble Mr. Chu." ”

After speaking, Qiao Ran hung up the phone.

She didn't know that after she hung up the phone, Chu Junbei stood by the window, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window for a long time.

Chu Junbei didn't know what had happened to him recently, it stands to reason that it was just a transaction, and if she slept a hundred times, the million would be written off.

They shouldn't have anything to do with each other at all.

Gradually, however, he seemed to consider her feelings, and wondered if she would like to......

If you think about it, he hasn't touched her for a long time.

Not only that, but he will also want to do his best to help her, no matter what trouble she has encountered at school, or what difficulties she has in life, such as the banquet that day, such as the Pei family's affairs, he is willing to help.

As long as she speaks, then he is willing to do anything.

How so......

Could it really be the same as the last time I blurted out in front of Wu Shuhua, treating her as a dating partner and a ...... Girlfriend?

Chu Junbei's mood was a little complicated.

However, Qiao Ran didn't know Chu Junbei's thoughts, she had never figured out Chu Junbei, nor did she have the mind and energy to figure him out, especially now.

Qiao Pingping entered the room as soon as she came back, Qiao Ran asked on the way, and knew that she hadn't eaten yet, so she made a bowl of noodles and brought it to her.

Qiao Pingping lay on the bed sideways, and when she saw that the light in the room was turned on, she didn't sit up, but pulled the quilt over her head and covered herself firmly.

Qiao Ran's mood was also a little heavy, but she still asked coaxingly, "What's wrong?" Like a child. ”

The man in the quilt didn't answer, not even reacted.

Qiao Ran sighed softly, sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled the quilt, "I cooked noodles for you, get up and eat quickly, otherwise you can't scold me if it won't taste good for a while." ”

Still no response.

"Mom?"

Seeing that the person in the quilt still didn't move, Qiao Ran put the noodles down and said coldly: "If you don't eat it, I'll take it and pour it, and don't want me to cook for you in the future!" ”
