Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Not Playing With Her Anymore

Pei Family secret room.

Before Qiao Rui even opened her eyes, she heard a knocking sound from the next room, assuming it was Pei Jibai.

Qiao Rui remained silent.

Pei Jibai’s muffled voice came through, "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry!"

He was apologizing.

Qiao Rui had no choice but to respond, "You don’t need to apologize. You apologized last night already, and this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I meant well but did wrong," Pei Jibai said again.

"Clear conscience," Qiao Rui replied.

"I wonder what my grandma will do next?" Pei Jibai was increasingly disillusioned, disappointed in the Pei Family, in his grandma, in his grandpa, and even more so in his elder brother.

"That’s just the way it is," Qiao Rui said indifferently.

They even resorted to such tricks, but it turned out like this.

Qiao Rui’s patience had almost worn thin. With a three-day ultimatum, she’d leave by one o’clock this afternoon if the old lady didn’t open the door with no new tricks.

"Sister-in-law, if elder brother doesn’t come to save you, grandma won’t let you go," Pei Jibai’s voice came from across the wall.

Qiao Rui said, "I don’t need your elder brother’s rescue; in my eyes, he’s nothing special."

Pei Jibai was stunned, "Sister-in-law, you seem to really despise my brother."

Qiao Rui didn’t deny it, "Yes, your brother is less than worthless to me."

"Ha!" Pei Jibai couldn’t help but laugh.

Qiao Rui also smiled.

"Sister-in-law, if elder brother knew how you viewed him, he’d probably get angry."

Whatever!

Qiao Rui didn’t care anymore.

After all, she was just a pawn to Pei Liyan.

"I don’t care," said Qiao Rui, nonchalantly.

"Sister-in-law, are you really disappointed?" Pei Jibai couldn’t believe that Qiao Rui didn’t care at all; perhaps it was too painful, which made her speak in such a way.

Indeed, it was disappointing, especially compared to the Pei Liyan she thought she knew!

But, from Rui Qing to Ruirui and now to herself, her disappointment in Pei Liyan grew with each disappointment.

"Can we stop talking about your elder brother?" Qiao Rui no longer wanted to continue the topic.

Pei Jibai was startled and quickly said, "I understand, won’t mention it."

Qiao Rui became silent again.

After that, neither of them spoke another word.

Liancheng.

Four Seas Building.

Pei Liyan sat at the dining table having breakfast.

Fang Mo began to report, "President, there was an incident at the old house last night. Young Master Jibai went to deliver food to the young mistress and was caught by the old lady in the secret room."

Pei Liyan slightly raised his eyebrow, looked towards Fang Mo, and said in a deep voice, "Continue."

"The old lady publicly accused the young mistress of seducing Young Master Jibai; the young mistress might have gotten angry, and she threatened to seduce the old master....."

Pei Liyan’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Qiao Rui dared to say that; she was quite bold.

It had been three days since she was locked up.

Pei Liyan said coldly, "Jibai is really thoughtful, staying up late to bring Qiao Rui food."

Si Ran glanced at Pei Liyan, seeing the president’s stern look, and wondered if it was his imagination or if the president sounded a bit sour.

"Young Mistress seems very righteous; there shouldn’t be anything between her and Young Master Jibai," Fang Mo said next.

"What do you mean ’there shouldn’t be anything’?" Pei Liyan questioned.

He needed certainty, not speculative results.

Fang Mo said, "The evidence we have isn’t enough to prove that the young mistress and the second young master have a special relationship." Fang Mo had to say that.

Pei Liyan suddenly put down his chopsticks and returned to his room.

Fang Mo and Si Ran looked at each other, both somewhat surprised.

Si Ran’s gaze shifted toward the bedroom direction and he whispered, "Fang Mo, when you report, you should be careful with your words; a man’s dignity is not to be infringed."

"I don’t think I infringed on the president’s dignity, though."

"You reported without being certain whether the news about the young mistress cheating on the president was true, that’s a taboo."

Fang Mo felt aggrieved, "I was just telling the truth; indeed, there’s no evidence."

Then, the door suddenly opened again.

Pei Liyan had changed his clothes and said to them, "I’m going out for a while, you don’t need to follow."

"President, the news about you and Mr. Song having a conflict with President Chen last night has already come out," Fang Mo reminded again.

"Keep an eye on the Shen Family," Pei Liyan said sternly.

"Yes!"

Pei Liyan left quickly.

One o’clock in the afternoon.

Qiao Rui didn’t receive any message from the old lady, waited another hour until two o’clock.

She ran out of patience and didn’t care if people were outside; she directly picked the lock with a piece of wire.

When the security guards saw Qiao Rui swaggering out from the secret room, they were startled.

"How did you come out?"

Qiao Rui hooked her lips into a smile and said, "Did I help Pei Jibai open the door, or did you?"

"Ma’am, please don’t make this difficult for us," the lead security officer said solemnly.

"Oh," Qiao Rui replied nonchalantly, "It seems you want me to open it myself; very well, I’ll do it myself!"

After speaking, she walked to the next door, slipped the wire into the lock, and quickly unlocked the door.

The door opened, and Pei Jibai, seeing Qiao Rui, was also startled.

"Sister-in-law?" he didn’t know what exactly had happened, but seeing the wire in Qiao Rui’s hand, he quickly understood.

At that moment, several security guards blocked the hallway exit, "Young Mistress, young master, please go back inside the secret room immediately, or we will have to take action."

A group of them facing the two, Qiao Rui raised an eyebrow and said, "Since I came out in front of you, I definitely won’t go back in. I gave your old lady three days, that was more than enough respect."

Having said that, Qiao Rui walked outside.

The security guards stepped forward to block their way.

Qiao Rui didn’t stop, marching straight ahead.

The security guards, watching her approach, cautiously took a step back and reminded again, "Young Mistress, you are not our match; please don’t force us to take action."

"Today, I want to force you to take action, but you are not my match," Qiao Rui said with a cold, sharp glint in her eyes. In an instant, she dodged and struck, her fist feinting as she kicked out.

With a "smack" a security guard was knocked back more than two meters and fell to the ground.

All of them were stunned.

Qiao Rui didn’t give them a chance to remain stunned. In moments, several security guards were knocked to the ground.

With fierce eyes and forceful actions, each move was quick, ruthless, and accurate.

Pei Jibai almost dropped his jaw in disbelief as he watched the scene unfold; even the security guards were shocked, not having expected the young mistress to be so formidable.

They were even worried about hurting the young mistress, but it turned out to be unnecessary.

Qiao Rui said in a calm voice, "Go back and tell your old lady that I’m done playing her games."
