Chapter 293: The Feeling of Being Betrayed

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: The Feeling of Being Betrayed

"What did you say?" Qiao Rui intended to sleep for a bit but suddenly climbed out of bed at this.

Qi Yun spoke again with earnest, "Mr. Pei Liyan has arrived at Liu Garden, and right now, he’s waiting at the entrance, wanting to see Ruirui."

"No," Qiao Rui said with a heavy voice, "tell him Ruirui is not here."

"Young Master," Qi Yun hesitated before saying, "I feel like Mr. Pei came prepared this time."

Qiao Rui remembered tripping him up earlier, yet that scoundrel had the audacity to get up and leave after having his fill.

And now he’s looking for Ruirui.

He had even asked her, in her half-conscious state, if she was targeting the Song Family.

Was it because he didn’t get the answers he wanted that he turned to Ruirui?

Could it be that in his mind, her two identities were enough to take on the Song Family?

She was speechless and really wanted to curse his entire family.

To thank his ancestors eight generations back for holding her in such high regard.

Why did he suspect her so much, after all?

Qiao Rui was very alert. She had to be more careful, or else he might discover soon that she and Ruirui were the same person.

"No." Qiao Rui was adamant, "Send him away."

"Yes!" Qi Yun replied, "I know what to do."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Rui felt a bit gloomy.

She couldn’t understand, hadn’t Pei Liyan said he had cut ties with Ruirui?

Why did he still want to get in touch?

Even though she knew it was her own two identities, he didn’t know that; to him, they were still two separate people.

This made Qiao Rui feel betrayed.

She picked up the phone and dialed Pei Liyan’s number.

At that moment, Pei Liyan was sitting in his car waiting.

When the phone rang, he glanced at it and saw it was Qiao Rui’s number.

Pei Liyan answered the call. "You’re awake?"

"Yeah!" Qiao Rui tried to control her emotions, "Where did you go? I opened my eyes, and you were gone without a trace, isn’t that a bit excessive?"

Pei Liyan was taken aback for a moment, hearing the complaint in her voice, his tone was indulgent, "I had something to take care of."

"After eating and wiping your mouth, you leave without looking back, indeed the uncaring type!" Qiao Rui grumbled unhappily.

Pei Liyan slightly frowned, "What did you say?"

"I said you’re... that uncaring type," Qiao Rui repeated vaguely.

"Why have you become so clingy?" Pei Liyan asked flatly, "That doesn’t seem like you."

Qiao Rui was a bit embarrassed. "You’re sick of me, aren’t you?"

"No," Pei Liyan held the phone and saw Qi Yun coming out at the front, he said into the phone, "I’ve got something important to investigate here, I’ll hang up first."

Right after he spoke, he hung up.

Looking at the disconnected call, Qiao Rui’s mood soured instantly.

She fell into restlessness and conflict.

She wondered, should she now transform into Ruirui and return to Liu Garden, or should she stand pat?

After thinking it through, she decided to stand pat and let whatever happen, happen.

After all, if he couldn’t find her, there wasn’t much he could do.

At Liu Garden’s entrance.

Qi Yun stepped outside.

Pei Liyan got out of his car and, not seeing the person he expected, instantly frowned.

"Where is Ruirui?"

"Mr. Pei, our boss is not at Liu Garden." Qi Yun said with an impassive face, "I called her, and she said there was no need to see you."

"She doesn’t want to see me?" Pei Liyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes," Qi Yun nodded.

"No need?" Pei Liyan asked again.

"Yes," answered Qi Yun, indifferent.

Pei Liyan suddenly laughed, his lips revealing a meaningful smile.

He nodded, "Alright, please tell your boss to go easy on the Song Family."

Qi Yun’s heart skipped a beat, but she maintained a faint smile, "Why would Mr. Pei say that?"

"Just pass the message," Pei Liyan didn’t elaborate further.

Qi Yun nodded, "Okay, I’ll deliver the message to the boss."

Pei Liyan looked once more at Liu Garden’s gate, his gaze unfathomable.

Qi Yun watched him warily, unsure of his intentions.

He had come by himself, asking specifically to see the Young Master. His thoughts, Qi Yun could no longer comprehend.

And what about the Young Master, why entangle with Pei Liyan in such a way?

In Qi Yun’s view, there was no need to be with an irresponsible man.

Pei Liyan hadn’t left when Jiang Jinfeng and Song Muyu returned.

Their car just arrived at Liu Garden when Song Muyu and Jiang Jinfeng saw Pei Liyan standing by his car, and Qi Yun at the entrance.

"Why has Pei Liyan come here?" Seeing Pei Liyan, Song Muyu started to worry for Qiao Rui, "Wasn’t he planning to be with Ruirui properly?"

Jiang Jinfeng’s brow was also furrowed, his expression cooling down. "I hope he’s not the type to go back on his word."

"Let’s get out and ask," Song Muyu said to Jiang Jinfeng.

"It’s indeed worth asking," Jiang Jinfeng parked the car, opened the door, and both of them got out.

"Mr. Pei?" Jiang Jinfeng looked at Pei Liyan, a sharp light in his eyes, meeting Pei Liyan’s gaze. "Why are you here?"

"President Jiang, Miss Song." Pei Liyan saw Song Muyu and Jiang Jinfeng standing together, both appearing somewhat hostile towards him. "I came to see Ruirui, but she’s avoiding me."

"What for?" Jiang Jinfeng’s tone was not very pleasant.

Pei Liyan could also tell the hostility in his voice.

He looked at Jiang Jinfeng with narrowed eyes; back in Qingcheng, Jiang Jinfeng had been nothing but respectful to him. When did the tune change?

Now he was not at all polite towards him.

It was because of Ruirui, wasn’t it?

Pei Liyan chuckled lazily, shifting his gaze to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun pursed her lips but didn’t say a word.

Song Muyu’s gaze followed Pei Liyan’s to Qi Yun, her intuition telling her Qi Yun was in the know.

But with Qi Yun remaining silent, Song Muyu found it odd.

Jiang Jinfeng suddenly thought that Ruirui’s dealings with the Song Family were unknown to Muyu, so this matter absolutely couldn’t be revealed to her.

He quickly flashed a smile, saying, "Muyu, you and Qi Yun go inside first. I have some matters as men that I need to discuss with Mr. Pei."

"Jinfeng!" Song Muyu was about to caution him not to be rash or disrupt Ruirui’s plans.

"Don’t worry, it’s just a chat with Mr. Pei, we’ll be in soon." Jiang Jinfeng assured, and Song Muyu went back inside with Qi Yun.

Outside, Jiang Jinfeng said to Pei Liyan, "Frankly, your looking for Ruirui is really troubling me, and it’s not good for Mrs. Pei either."

"Is that so?" Pei Liyan’s tone turned frosty, he raised his eyebrows slightly and faced Jiang Jinfeng with a particularly sharp look. "Manager Jiang is troubled, does Ruirui know this?"
