Chapter 397: Chapter 397: What a Grand Occasion

Pei Liyan got up, walked to the door, locked it directly, and returned to Qiao Rui saying, "Let’s eat."

Qiao Rui chuckled softly, "Old Lin is going to be furious."

Pei Liyan said calmly, "That’s his business. Interrupting others during dinner is inherently rude, and we have no reason to accommodate him."

"Well said." Qiao Rui continued eating. "We certainly have no obligation to see him."

"Eat quickly!" Pei Liyan smiled gently, "Who knows whether he might break in?"

"If he dares to do so, even his heart medicine won’t save him." Qiao Rui said indifferently.

Pei Liyan was momentarily stunned, then laughed along. "You, I wouldn’t doubt you could make him spit blood in rage."

"That’s his lack of patience." Qiao Rui gave him some food, "Eat, you haven’t had much yet!"

She was enjoying the spicy hot pot, it was really satisfying.

Spice can indeed dispel a thousand woes.

Outside, Elder Lin, accompanied by four bodyguards, was already waiting at the door.

However, Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui made no movement and didn’t open the door.

Impatience flashed across Lin Qingshi’s aged face.

He had sought out Qiao Rui several times today, all to no avail.

His two bodyguards had even been beaten black and blue.

Now, having finally found Qiao Rui here for hot pot, he naturally wouldn’t just leave.

Fine, they want him to wait, he’ll bear with it and give them a few more minutes.

The bodyguards noticed Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui still not opening the door, furrowed their brows and looked at Elder Lin.

Elder Lin’s face was quite displeased.

The bodyguard could only speak again: "Mr. Pei, please open the door."

This time, Pei Liyan completely ignored the voice outside.

The bodyguard outside shouted again: "Miss Qiao, our elder would like to meet you for a private matter."

Upon hearing herself called, Qiao Rui, just like Pei Liyan, loudly replied, "I’m still eating, and if I don’t eat to my fill, my temper will be bad."

When Elder Lin heard it was just an excuse, he snorted coldly.

The bodyguard spoke again: "Miss Qiao, isn’t it inappropriate for our elderly master to be waiting outside?"

Qiao Rui replied, "If that’s the case, shouldn’t you quickly take your master home? I have a bad temper, even my grandfather talks to me while carrying heart medicine."

The bodyguard was instantly provoked and reached to push the door.

Lin Qingshi said, "Wait a bit longer, give them five more minutes."

The bodyguard restrained himself again.

Qiao Rui naturally heard Lin Qingshi’s voice.

She glanced at Pei Liyan, "It seems you know this old man well, knowing his patience isn’t great."

Pei Liyan asked, "Are you full?"

"I’m almost done, and you?"

"I’m just half full," Pei Liyan said.

Qiao Rui paused, sighed, "Should’ve just eaten at home, then."

If they ate dinner at home, they wouldn’t be disturbed like this.

Pei Liyan smiled and raised his brow, "If you now want to eat further at home, I can have Mrs. Feng prepare it."

"Forget it, I’ve lost my appetite." Qiao Rui said, "You can enjoy your meal properly."

Pei Liyan said, "Seems like you indeed made him quite anxious."

"Just urging them to return that part of the money, and they’re getting anxious." Qiao Rui sneered, "For so many years, the Qiao family has provided them with no small amount of help."

Pei Liyan replied, "Afraid they may not necessarily be grateful."

"Ingratitude, isn’t it obvious?" Qiao Rui sneered, "Dodging debts and ignoring his daughter’s life, such a person isn’t worth talking to."

The Lin family even disregards Lin Hailan, his daughter, to him, others must be like ants.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Once again, Elder Lin signaled the bodyguards to knock on the door.

Inside the private room, Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui both ignored it.

The bodyguard said, "Mr. Pei and Miss Qiao, since neither of you opened the door, we’ll have to be impolite."

The next moment, the door was kicked open.

Seeing this, a flash of killing intent crossed Qiao Rui’s eyes, she coldly looked at the people at the door.

In the middle stood an elderly man in his seventies, with a flat head, narrow eyes resembling a triangle, a not very wide forehead, very long eyebrows, and deep wrinkles on his face.

The four bodyguards were tall and sturdy, standing beside the elderly man, two on each side, dressed in the same attire as those whom Qiao Rui fought on the street earlier.

Quite the entourage.

Qiao Rui simply coldly watched them without speaking.

A sharp glint also flashed in Pei Liyan’s eyes, he remained motionless, ignoring Lin Qingshi.

Lin Qingshi had never experienced such neglect, being disregarded by two young people like this, he was immediately displeased.

Lin Qingshi entered, followed by all the bodyguards, and said in a deep voice, "Oh, what grand mannerisms you both have!"

"Waiter." Qiao Rui suddenly called out.

At this time, the restaurant’s waiter also entered, they had seen the commotion here earlier.

"Guest, we’ve called the security," the waiter said quickly.

Lin Qingshi glanced at his bodyguards.

One bodyguard said deeply, "No need for the security, we have a private matter to handle."

"Who are you?" Naturally, the waiter did not dare leave.

After all, if guest’s personal safety was threatened, the hot pot shop would be responsible.

"It’s not your concern." The bodyguard pushed the waiter out.

They closed the door, leaving one bodyguard inside, while the others stayed outside.

Only then did Qiao Rui glance at Lin Qingshi, her gaze was straight and open.

Lin Qingshi smiled, "Are you Qiao Rui?"

Qiao Rui glanced at him, "And you must be Lin Qingshi?"

Lin Qingshi squinted his eyes, meeting Qiao Rui’s gaze, and said, "Technically, you should call me grandpa, like Qiao Xiang does."

"Really?" Qiao Rui smiled calmly, "I don’t have the habit of randomly acknowledging family ties, Elder Lin already has granddaughters whom he doesn’t cherish, why seek more family ties?"

Elder Lin laughed coldly and walked over to sit down. "No manners at all?"

"Courtesy is mutual," Qiao Rui said indifferently, "since you’ve been discourteous, only discourtesy can be expected in return."

"What a sharp-tongued young girl. Liyan, is this the wife you chose?" Lin Qingshi turned his gaze to Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth slowly, then spoke mildly, "What urgent matter does Elder Lin have that he had to barge in, not even letting us eat in peace?"

Lin Qingshi paused, "Are you blaming this old man?"

"Do I need to welcome Elder Lin with a grand reception?" Pei Liyan coldly retorted, "Allowing your bodyguards to act on the street against my wife, Elder Lin indeed has quite the entourage!"
