Chapter 417: Chapter 417: The Useless Man in Others’ Eyes

"Don’t pay attention to Qiao Xiang today." Qiao Rui looked at him and said, "She will definitely say something to you privately."

Pei Liyan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Why? Did you find out something?"

"She might plead for the Lin Family today." Qiao Rui said, "If you want to pay attention to her, it’s up to you."

"Do you mean I shouldn’t agree?" Pei Liyan retorted.

"Would you agree?" Qiao Rui returned the question.

"Of course not." Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, "You and I are united as one; how could I disrupt my wife’s plan for outsiders?"

"I’m relieved to hear that." Qiao Rui said with a teasing smile, "Mr. Pei is truly a kind-hearted person!"

"Don’t flatter me." Pei Liyan raised his eyebrow, pondered for a moment, but still said to Qiao Rui, "Last night, Liang Jinqian also approached Qiao Xiang, but Qiao Xiang refused."

Qiao Rui was slightly stunned, as she hadn’t received this news yet.

"Really?"

"Looks like you haven’t heard the news yet." Pei Liyan said with a smile, "Si Ran is personally involved; next, Liang Jinqian wants to undermine Si Ran."

"He’s really diligent, trying to undermine everyone around you." Qiao Rui was puzzled. "What exactly did you do to offend him?"

Pei Liyan didn’t speak, his expression slightly restrained, indicating he didn’t want to talk.

Qiao Rui knew that people have unspeakable secrets, and forcing it when one doesn’t want to speak is meaningless.

"Then let’s talk when you feel like it." Qiao Rui said, "Get ready, eat, I can’t be late to the Qiao Family today, there are so many reporters waiting for me."

"You don’t need to meet the reporters; I’ve already arranged for Fang Mo to have people guard the entrance to the Qiao Family’s basement."

"Not meeting the reporters?" Qiao Rui blinked. "Are you saying that you’re worried I’ll meet the reporters and get asked too many questions, accidentally revealing the plan?"

"I think being exposed under flashlights isn’t necessarily a good thing." Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, "The public says all kinds of things, we can’t control other people’s thoughts, but it’s easy to get swept up."

"You’re right, I don’t want to be exposed under reporters’ flashlights either." Qiao Rui shrugged, feeling happy: "Then I might as well be late, don’t want to go so early."

"Up to you!" He smiled, showing his gentle affection towards her.

Qiao Rui shook her head again. "No way, I just organized some people, haven’t organized the other departments yet, can’t have the company’s people criticize me, whatever, I’ll put up with it, get up and be a happy worker."

Being the CEO of the Qiao Family she described herself as a happy worker, such a playful girl she was.

The two quickly got ready, changed clothes, and went downstairs together.

Mrs. Feng had already prepared breakfast, and upon seeing them coming downstairs, greeted them happily.

"Young Master, Young Miss, breakfast is ready. The weather has been dry lately, you should drink some soup; I’ve prepared different soups for both of you." Mrs. Feng said.

Qiao Rui was taken aback. "Different soups?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Feng pointed to the soup pot at Qiao Rui’s seat and said, "This is for beauty and skincare, perfect for Young Miss."

Qiao Rui glanced at it; indeed it was a very nourishing soup appropriate for women, good for yin nourishment and lung moistening, beneficial for females.

Then she looked at the soup on Pei Liyan’s side, and upon seeing it, couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

It was a strengthening soup pot, with ingredients beneficial to men’s health, but it seemed a bit too much, and the medicine was usually prescribed for men with inadequate prowess.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Liyan looked at Qiao Rui laughing and was very surprised.

Qiao Rui immediately composed herself: "Nothing, just thought Mrs. Feng is too good to us."

"Mrs. Feng, this is medicinal cuisine, where did you get the recipe?" Pei Liyan glanced at the soup pot and asked.

"Old Feng went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine University overnight and found a night-shift doctor to prescribe it." Mrs. Feng said: "It’s almost autumn, the weather is dry, and it needs supplementation."

Pei Liyan sat down, looked at the ingredients in the soup pot, never seen them before, felt it was overly complicated.

"What meat is inside?"

"Beef." Mrs. Feng said.

Pei Liyan suddenly thought of the stuff Qiao Rui brought from her hometown last time, his face changed immediately: "Take it away, I don’t need major supplements!"

"Don’t, Young Master." Mrs. Feng immediately said, "This is good stuff, you’ll know the effects are excellent after drinking!"

Qiao Rui nodded. "It’s indeed good stuff, do you want to try drinking it once?"

"Do you know what’s inside?" Pei Liyan retorted.

Qiao Rui said: "Bull whip!"

Mrs. Feng was stunned: "Young Miss actually figured it out?"

Pei Liyan’s face darkened instantly, coldly said: "Mrs. Feng, remove this soup pot at once, I don’t want it."

"Young Master, how can you not want it? You need to supplement your health!" Mrs. Feng said worriedly.

Qiao Rui held back her laughter, asking Mrs. Feng: "Mrs. Feng, from what did you determine Pei Liyan needs this kind of medicinal cuisine for health supplementation?"

"There’s no need for judgment, Young Miss should be the most authoritative, knowing Young Master’s physique, would you say he shouldn’t drink it?" Mrs. Feng looked expectantly at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui thought, with his body, if he drank such a strong soup, she wouldn’t get any sleep at night, he really didn’t need a supplement.

"He doesn’t need it!" Qiao Rui said: "Mrs. Feng, don’t prepare this soup for us, neither of us needs such strong tonics!"

Pei Liyan was stunned, looked aghast at Qiao Rui, then at the soup pot, saying: "Is this for yin and yang strengthening?"

Qiao Rui said: "Yes."

Mrs. Feng blushed. "Young Miss understands too?"

Pei Liyan’s face also darkened.

Where had he gone wrong, to be misunderstood as inadequate?

This indeed was very damaging to a man’s self-esteem.

"A bit." Qiao Rui glanced at Pei Liyan, seeing his darkened face, she smiled and said: "These things, really don’t need to be prepared again."

Mrs. Feng smiled awkwardly. "But I prepared a lot, it would be wasteful not to drink."

Pei Liyan said in a deep voice: "Uncle Feng can drink it!"

Qiao Rui also laughed, saying: "Yes, I also agree, these soups are suitable for you and Uncle Feng, us young people don’t need them."

Mrs. Feng had no choice but to remove them reluctantly.

She didn’t understand why Young Master wouldn’t drink the soup, could it be because this issue hurt his pride, making him embarrassed?

She sympathetically glanced at Qiao Rui, with deep understanding in her eyes.

Qiao Rui knew Mrs. Feng misunderstood.

She felt very amused.

Once Mrs. Feng left, Qiao Rui couldn’t help but laugh.

"What’s so funny?" Pei Liyan was annoyed. "Are you happy watching me being misunderstood?"

Qiao Rui shook her head, laughing: "Not really, I’m just curious why in Mrs. Feng’s eyes you seem like an inept man?"

Pei Liyan was startled, saying: "How would I know?"
