Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Mr. Pei Doesn’t Allow Others to Hold Her

Fang Mo was also surprised and shook his head, "The boss said so, I don’t know the exact situation either."

"The boss didn’t reveal anything to you in advance?" Si Ran asked Fang Mo in a low voice again.

"Nope." Fang Mo shook his head again, "He just said we’ll be working overtime today. He didn’t say anything else, let’s see what happens."

Si Ran took a deep breath as he noticed He Zheng’s gaze looking over in this direction, smiling at him. That gaze was particularly sticky.

Si Ran’s eyes also flashed with a complex emotion. He looked away and did not glance at He Zheng again.

At that moment, a car sped over and screeched to a stop at He Zheng’s door.

The car door opened, and a whirlwind of a girl jumped out, rushing straight to Qiao Rui, excitedly shouting, "Master, I’m here, I’ve missed you so much."

Qiao Rui watched the girl rushing toward him, just about to open his arms to catch her.

But then, Pei Liyan stepped in front of him, grabbing her by the collar before He Lan reached them, and said, "Talk properly and stand up straight."

He Lan paused, wanted to hug Qiao Rui, but couldn’t reach him.

She immediately shouted, "Brother Pei, don’t ruin the fun, let go of me quickly."

Pei Liyan didn’t let go, frowning, "Talk properly, no hugging, then I’ll let you go."

"You’re jealous, but you can’t be jealous of a girl like me, can I just hug my master, what’s the big deal?" He Lan started shouting.

Her shout instantly enlivened the atmosphere.

But Pei Liyan still held onto the back of He Lan’s collar, preventing her from hugging Qiao Rui.

"No way!" Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, "He Lan, if you don’t behave, you won’t be allowed next time."

"It’s not your house, why can’t I come?" He Lan was upset, so she leaned her head to look past him at Qiao Rui, "Master, do you see this, your husband is too domineering, I can’t even hug you."

"I see it." Qiao Rui emerged from behind Pei Liyan and rescued He Lan from Pei Liyan’s grasp.

Pei Liyan glanced at Qiao Rui with protest in his eyes.

Qiao Rui ignored him and warmly chatted with He Lan, "How have you been these past two days?"

"Master, let me hug you first." He Lan didn’t care much, pulling the person in for a hug. Seeing Pei Liyan’s exasperated expression only made her more defiant.

She hugged Qiao Rui tightly and provocatively glanced at Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan sternly said, "Let go."

"No! No!" He Lan muttered, sticking out her tongue and making a face even more provocatively.

Pei Liyan immediately looked toward He Zheng.

He Zheng, fearing he might be angry, quickly dissociated himself, "She was invited by sister-in-law, not me."

Pei Liyan scoffed lightly.

"Come on, let’s go inside. Isn’t everyone tired standing out here?" He Zheng laughed, "Everyone, please come in!"

So, everyone started moving inside.

He Lan held Qiao Rui’s hand endearingly, "Master, I knew you were the best. My brother and Brother Pei don’t really like me much; they didn’t even want to invite me to the gathering, but you remembered me, that’s great."

"You bring the liveliness." Qiao Rui said matter-of-factly.

Behind them, Fang Mo and Si Ran both laughed.

He Lan blinked her eyes suspiciously, "Master, why do I feel like you’re teasing me?"

"Am I?" Qiao Rui shook his head, "I’m just speaking the truth. If you didn’t come, with these people, none of them talk. If they talk, they’ve got schemes in mind. It’s tiring and not lively at all."

Pei Liyan and He Zheng were both stunned, was she talking about them?

The two of them were speechless, both looking resentfully at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui ignored their looks.

He Lan was excited and laughed, "Yes, yes, that’s exactly it. They’ve got too many plots in mind.

"They talk in a way I can’t understand, it’s boring. Sister Si Ran and Brother Fang Mo don’t dare to talk in front of them, so it’s even more boring. Hey, who’s this pretty sister?"

He Lan excitedly looked at Gai Yin.

Gai Yin smiled slightly, "Hello Miss He, I am President Qiao’s special assistant, my name is Gai Yin."

"Hello Sister Yin." He Lan’s sweet mouth and flattering tone, "You look great, beautiful and certainly capable, or else you wouldn’t be my master’s special assistant."

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss He!" Gai Yin replied with a slight smile, "I’m not that great actually."

"You’re definitely great, don’t be modest!" He Lan smiled and said, "My master has been quite famous lately, surely thanks to Sister Yin’s assistance, please continue to take good care of my master in the future."

Seeing He Lan like this, both Si Ran and Fang Mo were speechless.

Even Pei Liyan and He Zheng found it utterly speechless.

You know, back in Liancheng, during Song Xun and Shen Shuyi’s engagement ceremony, He Lan gave no face to Qiao Rui, she was like a thorn pricking everyone.

After experiencing a kidnapping, she immediately admired Qiao Rui greatly, and this shift in attitude was really laughable.

"Of course." Gai Yin said with a slight smile, "This is part of my job."

He Lan ignored everyone’s looks and continued to cozy up to Qiao Rui, "Master, you’ve been looking quite handsome recently, everyone is talking about you."

"What are they saying about me?" Qiao Rui asked as they walked into the room.

Once inside, they noticed there was no housekeeper at He Zheng’s place. The downstairs hall was particularly spacious, with the dining table covered in fruits and snacks, and the kitchen counter full of today’s ready-made dinner dishes.

After sitting on the sofa, He Lan said, "They’re saying you’re impressive, saying you single-handedly sorted out the Lin Family."

"Those are just journalists making things up. I don’t have that kind of ability," Qiao Rui replied calmly, not seeing it as a good thing.

"How could that be? Others may not know your prowess, but I’ve seen it," He Lan said with a grin, "Even my dad said this Qiao Rui is extraordinary, do you know what kind of person my dad is?"

Qiao Rui looked at her, raising an eyebrow, "Oh, what kind of person is Uncle?"

"My dad basically sees himself above everyone else," He Lan explained on her own, "I inherited that from him. I know it’s a bad habit, but it also shows we have high standards."

He Zheng twitched at the corners of his lips, looking at He Lan, then worriedly at Si Ran.

Si Ran was also taken aback.

To have eyes looking down on everyone must mean having high standards and certainly being very arrogant.

The head of the He Family naturally has the dignity and pride of the He Family.

She pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Seeing Si Ran like this, He Zheng immediately scolded He Lan, "What nonsense are you talking? Dad isn’t as annoying as you say."
