Chapter 407: Chapter 407 As If Gaining a Treasure

Liang Jinqian chuckled lightly, his tone particularly complex, "Miss Qiao, your eloquence is truly impressive; Mr. Liang feels ashamed in comparison."

"In that case, let’s leave it at that." After saying this, Qiao Rui directly hung up the phone.

Pei Liyan gazed at her, his expression complex and ever-changing.

He was silent for a long time, wanting to say something, but found himself speechless. He couldn’t help feeling that as a man, his heart wasn’t as broad as a girl’s.

Qiao Rui had given him plenty of surprises.

She was always like this, seeming plain yet always capable of radiating dazzling halos.

After a long pause, Pei Liyan finally spoke with difficulty, "Liang Jinqian contacted you this morning?"

"Yes." Qiao Rui nodded. "However, I didn’t give him a chance to speak this morning."

"Do you trust me?" Pei Liyan asked again.

"Of course." Qiao Rui said, "You’re not perfect, but not particularly detestable either."

Still feeling wary, Pei Liyan asked again, "You’re not angry after hearing this? Did you already know?"

"What’s there to be angry about? It’s not like you got his sister pregnant!" Qiao Rui said, "You told me that before Rui Qing, you hadn’t touched anyone!"

Pei Liyan nodded. "Yes, I didn’t lie to you."

"Then that’s fine." Qiao Rui said casually, "He’s probably hoping to find an opportunity, but I’m no fool, why should I listen?"

Pei Liyan smiled, his deep gaze fixed on Qiao Rui’s fair, rosy face.

Indeed, she was the wife he had chosen, standing out from the crowd.

"Liang Jinqian didn’t contact you just because of his sister." Pei Liyan said, "There are some personal grudges between us, too complex to be explained in a few words. In short, he’s not a gentleman."

"Then the one who needs to be careful is you." Qiao Rui said, "Ancient wisdom says, it’s better to offend a gentleman than a villain."

Pei Liyan laughed and said, "As long as you don’t trust him, he can’t pose any threat to me."

Pei Liyan didn’t expect Liang Jinqian to reach out to Qiao Rui.

"I definitely listen with discernment." Qiao Rui laughed, "Isn’t that impressive?"

Pei Liyan suddenly walked over to her, leaned over, supporting himself at the edge of the bed, his face meeting hers. In the reflection of her pupils was his face: handsome, calm, complex, and moved, with a deep-seated heart flutter hidden beneath.

He was touched.

That kind of fluttering wasn’t superficial.

This time, it wasn’t just a rush of emotion, but more a fulfillment of the soul.

"Very impressive." He whispered against her lips, "Way more impressive than I imagined."

"Then cherish me well." Qiao Rui said with a smile.

"Of course." Pei Liyan’s thin lips pressed against Qiao Rui’s, softly saying, "Like obtaining a precious treasure."

Qiao Rui laughed lightly, "Don’t be so exaggerated; it’s gross."

The man took her lips at once, kissing her fiercely for a moment.

When Qiao Rui was breathless, he finally released her, smiling, "You’re too cheeky, just now talking about Liang Jinqian, in the future, don’t say those kinds of things to any man."

"That’s right, I shouldn’t have called it a laxative; instead, I should’ve called it a stirring stick." Qiao Rui recalled and still said, "Yes, it’s definitely a stirring stick!"

"You!" Pei Liyan ruffled her hair with a smile, "I’m going to the study to make a call, I’ll be back in a while."

"Got it." She urged, "Then hurry up, come back early."

"Okay!" Pei Liyan gently kissed her forehead before leaving for the study.

Upon entering the study, he turned on the computer and sat at the desk, his gaze softened considerably as he thought of Qiao Rui’s earlier demeanor.

But he still picked up the phone and called Fang Mo first. "Tonight, make sure to keep an eye on the Lin Family, report to me immediately if there’s any movement."

"Yes, President, we’ve already arranged personnel as per your instructions." Fang Mo responded.

"Also, discreetly arrange two people to monitor Liang Jinqian."

"Him?" Fang Mo was momentarily stunned, hurriedly replied, "Got it, I’ll arrange it right away."

After hanging up Fang Mo’s call, Pei Liyan dialed Si Ran.

"Si Ran, keep an eye on Qiao Xiang and her mother, don’t let them cause any trouble."

"I understand, President." Si Ran said, "But Qiao Xiang went out just now, I’m currently following her; she seems to be heading to the Lin Family."

"This idiot." Pei Liyan cursed.

"Shall I intercept her?" Si Ran asked.

"No need." Pei Liyan said solemnly, "Going to the Lin Family at this time won’t bring any benefits; there are plenty of reporters at the door. If she wants to go, let her."

Si Ran said, "I’ll keep following her then; her mother’s injured and can’t leave the house."

"Try to get the reporters to photograph her." Pei Liyan instructed.

Si Ran immediately understood the President’s intention.

"Understood."

After ending the call, Si Ran trailed behind Qiao Xiang, only to find that her car was suddenly blocked by another vehicle.

From the car in front, a person got out, walking towards Qiao Xiang’s car.

Upon reaching her car door, the person knocked on the window.

Qiao Xiang lowered the window impatiently, looking at the visitor and asking, "What do you want?"

Si Ran also quickly slid down his window, listening carefully while raising his phone, recording the scene.

"Miss Qiao, our Mr. Liang would like to invite Miss Qiao for a drink, would you mind honoring him?"

"What Mr. Liang? I don’t know him." Qiao Xiang retorted.

"Liang Jinqian." The person replied.

Qiao Xiang hesitated. "The movie star? What does he want with me?"

"If you’re curious, why not meet Mr. Liang and find out."

Qiao Xiang hesitated, asking, "Where is Mr. Liang?"

"Follow my car, you’ll reach soon." The person said.

Qiao Xiang nodded. "Alright, lead the way."

The person returned to their car and led the way.

Si Ran followed from behind, not daring to drive too closely, maintaining a steady pace.

Ten minutes later, the vehicles arrived at a club often frequented by celebrities, known for its high standards.

After parking her car, Qiao Xiang followed the person into the club.

Si Ran tidied himself, put on sunglasses, and followed closely.

Before long, Qiao Xiang entered a private room with the person.

Si Ran noted the room number and carefully scanned the surroundings, finding no advantageous position to eavesdrop.

Liang Jinqian meeting Qiao Xiang puzzled Si Ran greatly.

She left the club, found a secluded spot, and sent a message to Pei Liyan, also forwarding the video she captured.

"President Pei, Liang Jinqian contacted Qiao Xiang."

Shortly after, Pei Liyan replied: He wants to use Qiao Xiang against me.

Si Ran’s heart skipped a beat; she looked toward the upstairs direction, the room seemed to be on the fourth floor.

She scanned the area but didn’t find a suitable way to climb up.

If she could go up, it would be ideal.

"I’ll keep watch and find a way to listen in on their conversation."
