Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Qiao Rui, Who Are You Really?

"You!" Qiao Xiang was stunned. "How do you have my photo? Are you in cahoots with them?"

"Heh, it’s you who’s in cahoots with them. I merely stole it," Qiao Rui said. "Getting your photo wasn’t hard at all."

"Did Pei Liyan give it to you?" Qiao Xiang was certain it must be Pei Liyan.

He had the photo, and since Lu Heming got it, it must have been Lu Heming who gave it to Pei Liyan, and then Pei Liyan gave it to Qiao Rui.

Seeing her so surprised, Qiao Rui laughed and said, "Even now, big sister, you still think that Pei Liyan is deeply devoted to you, that he would retaliate against you?"

"It’s a fatal blow to the heart." Qiao Xiang finally saw clearly. "Qiao Rui, you are indeed formidable, aiming for my heart while knowing I like him, just to make me suffer."

"You now have no right to like him," Qiao Rui said coldly. "Because he belongs to me. If I don’t want him anymore, you can have him if you’d like, but if I don’t let him go, you can’t have him. I won’t agree!"

After saying that, Qiao Rui walked away.

"Do you think he truly loves you? He has a woman he deeply loves, buried in his heart for many years, and it definitely isn’t you."

"But it isn’t you either, big sister," Qiao Rui said with a smile, not even turning her head back, "You should go back and take a look at your Fu Yichen. In this world, the only one who truly cares for you without considering anything else is him."

Qiao Xiang was stunned, she bit her teeth hard, and her fists tightened at her sides.

She watched Qiao Rui walk away with a burning hatred, teeth nearly crushed to bits.

After Qiao Rui came out, she saw Fu Yichen and He Lan, with Si Ran also in the corridor. He Lan was running toward her, but Fu Yichen stretched his arm out to stop her.

When Qiao Rui saw this scene upon coming out, her impression of Fu Yichen actually improved slightly.

Fu Yichen, seeing her come out, also subconsciously looked towards the door.

Qiao Rui said, "Mr. Fu doesn’t have to worry, my big sister is full of life, her mood is fine too."

"No, she’s not doing well right now," Fu Yichen shook his head, glanced at Qiao Rui. "She’s been hit hard."

"Indeed hit hard," Qiao Rui nodded. "But heartache needs the cure of the heart, Mr. Fu, I’m afraid neither of us can give her that cure."

Fu Yichen was stunned, instantly understanding Qiao Rui’s implication.

He knew that Qiao Xiang’s cure was Pei Liyan.

He smiled bitterly, lowered his eyes, and said to himself with sarcasm, "Yes, it’s no cure, completely the wrong direction."

Qiao Rui said, "Why hang yourself on one tree? People tend to devalue what they have, only cherishing it once lost."

Fu Yichen was taken aback, unconsciously looking at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui was ready to go upstairs.

He Lan, confused, said, "What are you doing, playing riddles with brother Yichen? What cure, what hanging? It’s scary, isn’t it? Who has lost something?"

Qiao Rui looked toward Si Ran.

Si Ran quickly said, "Miss He, it’s getting late, let’s go back and rest."

He Lan looked at Si Ran, "Then explain it to me, and I’ll go after I understand."

"Alright, I’ll explain," Si Ran ushered her away.

Qiao Rui was ready to go upstairs.

Fu Yichen said, "Qiao Rui, spare me a minute."

Qiao Rui stopped in her tracks and saw him.

Fu Yichen also looked at Qiao Rui, hesitating for a moment, then said, "Today wasn’t about targeting you, actually, rationally speaking, you did nothing wrong."

Qiao Rui’s eyes twinkled with a smile, and she didn’t seem to mind.

"Mr. Fu doesn’t need to worry about it, I didn’t take it to heart either."

"Thank you," Fu Yichen admitted, "I’ll admit I had some thoughts about you before, thinking you weren’t good enough for my brother Pei, but actually, it has nothing to do with me. It’s Pei’s choice, I should respect that and not interfere."

Qiao Rui nodded.

"So, I apologize to you," Fu Yichen said again, "My attitude towards you was bad before, that was my problem."

"Mr. Fu is a reasonable person, I understand," Qiao Rui replied with a smile.

Fu Yichen seemed not to have expected Qiao Rui to say she understood.

He was a bit surprised, and then a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he made a request, "Then, can you not pursue Qiao Xiang’s mistake anymore in the future?"

Qiao Rui shrugged. "It’s not up to me to decide, it’s up to her."

Fu Yichen was stunned for a moment. "You mean you might target her at any time?"

"It’s not about targeting her," Qiao Rui corrected him. "It’s about her actions. Mr. Fu, you’re a reasonable person, you targeted me because you had opinions about me, so you should understand me even more. However, I won’t target her just because I have opinions, but if she provokes me, then I’m sorry, I’ll show no mercy."

Having said that, she left.

Fu Yichen was taken aback, feeling a chill in his heart.

Qiao Rui returned to her room, and not long after, Pei Liyan came back.

Qiao Rui was sitting on the sofa watching TV, but her gaze was fixed and not following the plot, it was just on.

"Qiao Rui," Pei Liyan glanced at her and called out, interrupting Yi Qiaorui’s thoughts.

Then, Pei Liyan took big strides over, his tall figure standing by the sofa, he then sat down with his cold face carrying a hint of confusion.

Without shifting her gaze, Qiao Rui continued watching TV.

"Watching the TV but lost in thought, you get distracted too?" Pei Liyan started speaking.

"Is it wrong to be distracted? Do you control that too?" Qiao Rui looked up at Pei Liyan, her tone faintly stunned, even her gaze was filled with coldness and indifference.

"Could it be that you’ve also transferred your displeasure and anger towards Song Xun onto me?" Pei Liyan reached out to grab her hand and pulled her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her.

She had seen through that.

Qiao Rui slapped his arm. "Let go of me!"

"Is it bad sitting on my lap?" he countered.

"It’s bad!" Qiao Rui said with a tone of disgust. "How are your legs as soft as the sofa?"

Pei Liyan was instantly speechless and frowned. "I haven’t asked you yet, who is this friend you mentioned today?"

Qiao Rui was startled, her heart skipped a beat, but she still tried to appear calm.

She frowned slightly, her gaze frosty as she looked at Pei Liyan, "You don’t know them, why are you asking?"

Pei Liyan frowned again, feeling frustrated that he didn’t know about her matters.

Seeing her take out her anger on him, a flash of impatience crossed his dark eyes.

He reached out to hold Qiao Rui’s chin, forcing her to meet his eyes, leaning in he said word by word, "You’re very angry, what are you angry about?"

Qiao Rui also looked at him, not answering, and just tilted her head, leaning against his neck like a sack of mud, closing her eyes.

"Now I suddenly want to see this friend of yours, or her scumbag boyfriend."

"If you want to see a scumbag, looking at Song Xun and yourself isn’t enough?" Qiao Rui grumbled discontentedly.

Pei Liyan was taken aback and looked at her with a deep frown, "How am I a scumbag?"

"Don’t you know what you’re like?" Qiao Rui straightened up and looked at him as she accused, "Don’t you know your own character?"

"Are you still bothered by those past events?" Pei Liyan said in a deep voice. "Don’t forget, you have a past too."

Qiao Rui snorted, "Fine, I don’t want to argue with you. Song Xun and Shen Shuyi do make a good match, so loving, even with so much resistance at the wedding, and then suddenly it’s all good, it’s really baffling."

Pei Liyan looked at her with a heavy gaze, "Qiao Rui, who are you really?"
