Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Measure Others by Oneself

Fu Yichen’s brows furrowed instantly, just as he was about to speak, Qiao Rui’s phone rang.

She glanced down at the caller ID, it was a call from Pei Liyan.

She was a bit surprised and said to Fu Yichen, "Sorry, I need to take this call."

Fu Yichen had no choice but to shut up. His face alternated between red and white from being reprimanded, which was quite an ugly sight.

Qiao Rui pressed the answer button.

The next second the call connected, and it was Pei Liyan’s deep, magnetic male voice, "Did Yichen come to bother you?"

Qiao Rui paused, thinking that Mrs. Feng must have called him.

She smiled and said, "Not at all."

"Is he still at your place?" Pei Liyan asked again.

"Um!" Qiao Rui responded lightly, "It’s nothing, don’t worry."

"Um!" Pei Liyan’s voice was very lazy and pleasant, hearing it made one involuntarily think further. "You can say whatever you want, no need to be too polite."

"Really?" Now Qiao Rui was a bit curious. Did Pei Liyan mean that she could rebuke Fu Yichen?

She hadn’t planned on being polite anyway.

"You heard me right," Pei Liyan said, "Give him a good talking-to, the kind that might knock some sense into him."

Qiao Rui was taken aback and said, "Got it."

Pei Liyan hung up quickly.

Qiao Rui suddenly really wanted to, and unconsciously curled up the corners of her lips.

If she hadn’t misunderstood, Pei Liyan meant for her to teach Fu Yichen a lesson.

On the other side, Fu Yichen saw her hang up the phone with discontent and frowned, "Was it Liyan who called you?"

"Yes," Qiao Rui nodded.

"So Liyan already knows I’m here?" Fu Yichen was suddenly shocked.

Qiao Rui asked indifferently, "Isn’t it very normal for him to know? Or are you afraid of him finding out that you’re looking for me?"

Fu Yichen was stunned, "What am I afraid of?"

"Then there you go, why ask so many questions?" Qiao Rui smiled.

Fu Yichen felt inexplicably guilty by her smile and said irritably, "The questions I ask you are so simple, you’re holding back on purpose, aren’t you?"

"Yes, I am doing it on purpose," Qiao Rui bluntly countered Fu Yichen. "Purposely not telling you."

Fu Yichen scoffed, "Playing mysteries."

"Yes!" Qiao Rui simply let it go, "That’s the way I am, what can you do about it?"

"You!" Fu Yichen chided, "Don’t think you and Liyan will last!"

"This is between Pei Liyan and me, none of your business!" Qiao Rui looked at Fu Yichen calmly and said gravely, "Mr. Fu, I know you feel that it’s unfair for Pei Liyan, thinking that a country bumpkin like me doesn’t match your lofty brother!"

"Indeed, you don’t!" he affirmed.

"But don’t forget, this was his choice." Qiao Rui reminded coldly, "He chose me willingly, not your bright moonlight. So don’t be here complaining. You’d better think about how to make my sister fall for you instead!"

"You!"

"What about me?" Qiao Rui’s tone was calm, "Ugly words aren’t worse than yours, I serve dishes according to the guest!"

Fu knew the principle of ’do unto others’ all too well.

Qiao Rui felt she had made herself crystal clear.

Fu Yichen wasn’t a fool, he understood her instantly.

His brows furrowed as he said coldly, "Do you think I’m so superficial, to have to possess the person I like?"

"Then you mean you don’t want to win over my sister?" Qiao Rui asked lightly.

Fu Yichen realized that Qiao Rui was quite skillful with words, if he wasn’t careful, he might fall right into her trap.

He involuntarily looked up to meet Qiao Rui’s bright, clear eyes.

Those clear eyes seemed to speak volumes, Liyan probably fell into such a gentle trap.

"You are indeed impressive, Qiao Rui," Fu Yichen gave a bitter smile. "Now I think I understand why Liyan gave you eight hundred million."

Qiao Rui smiled faintly, not taking the bait.

Fu Yichen paused again, noticing that Qiao Rui’s demeanor was very calm, with not a trace of curiosity, as if everything was under control, assured, her grace was quite extraordinary.

Fu Yichen knitted his brows, staring blankly at Qiao Rui, his gaze full of confusion and amazement.

Qiao Rui simply glanced at him and gave a serene smile, such a woman, so composed and experienced, as if she had gone through many hardships to have such a carefree attitude today.

The reason for her carefreeness was because she had experienced too much.

In that regard, she really was a formidable woman.

Such a woman should never stay by Liyan’s side.

For a time, no one spoke, and the entire hall fell silent.

Fu Yichen smiled faintly, a sharp departure from his previous agitation, and casually pulled a smirk, "You think Liyan is serious about you, don’t you?"

Qiao Rui didn’t speak.

Fu Yichen answered himself, "In reality, Liyan has always had someone hidden in his heart, not Qiao Xiang, not the missing in-demand starlet Rui Qing. But a girl you don’t know, living abroad."

Qiao Rui was actually a bit surprised, Pei Liyan having a past wasn’t shocking to her.

After all, it would be odd for such an outstanding man to not have a past.

However, for Fu Yichen to choose this moment to reveal this, he must have his reasons.

Qiao Rui didn’t know his purpose, but felt since he mentioned it, he must have had one.

Qiao Rui smiled, "Mr. Fu, enjoy and savor such a wonderful story to yourself in your heart, I’m not interested in knowing."

"You’re not interested?" Fu Yichen suddenly laughed, continuing, "Is it because you’re too afraid to continue listening, scared that Liyan doesn’t love you?"

"Mr. Fu, have you never been loved by a woman? That’s why you’re always so insecure, worrying about this and that. People tend to judge others by themselves."

Fu Yichen was taken aback once again, suddenly speaking out in a rage, "By saying so much, aren’t you also lacking confidence?"

Fu Yichen looked at her with cold, mocking eyes, directly accusing Qiao Rui of being deeply infatuated with Pei Liyan in a lowly manner and with ulterior motives.

Qiao Rui tugged at her lips lightly, remaining silent.

She said nothing more.

Fu Yichen said again, "Right now, you’re chosen by Liyan as a wife, but just a temporary one at that. Don’t think you truly are Mrs. Pei now, I’m telling you, once Liyan’s deeply loved woman returns, you’ll have no place left."

Seeing him talk so angrily, Qiao Rui just wanted to laugh.

She thought Fu Yichen was sick, something wrong with his head.

"What are you laughing at?" Fu Yichen, mystified by her laughter with his face turning an iron shade, scolded, "I’d like to see just how long you can be so arrogant!"

Qiao Rui replied indifferently, "Let’s wait until your brother’s woman comes back then. By that time, I’d like to see what she looks like, to have Pei Liyan so fixated on her, buried so deep in his heart."

Fu Yichen met Qiao Rui’s gaze, and in that instant, he froze, "You don’t love Liyan?"
