Chapter 73: Chapter 73: It Seems You Are Not Very Honest

Factory Manager Xu was stunned for a moment, looking at Pei Liyan and then at Qiao Rui, "Miss Rui, who is this gentleman?"

Qiao Rui pursed her lips slightly and said, "A friend."

Pei Liyan slightly raised his eyebrows, a friend?

Ha!

Well, a friend with whom he had deeply interacted.

Qiao Rui urged, "Shall we go, Factory Manager Xu? Didn’t you say you would take us to find Mr. Huo?"

"Oh, okay!" Factory Manager Xu smiled.

Qiao Rui walked to the side of Pei Liyan’s car, and Pei Liyan gentlemanly opened the door for her to get in.

Qiao Rui felt that getting into his car was better than getting into Factory Manager Xu’s car, as Factory Manager Xu did not look like a man of good character.

Pei Liyan, standing tall by the car, slightly lowered his gaze towards Qiao Rui.

Her face was calm, a stark contrast to her enthusiasm from the night before.

The wind blew her fragrance into his nose, penetrating into his heart, causing the man’s pupils to constrict and his soul to withdraw.

His sharp gaze swept past Factory Manager Xu’s slightly surprised face, bringing an intense sense of oppression that made Factory Manager Xu’s expression change, involuntarily nodding in submission.

Pei Liyan then closed the car door, walked around the car body to the other side, while the driver had already gotten out to open the other door for him personally.

He exuded a distinctive noble and impressive aura, and even the driver was tall and handsome.

After watching them get into the car, Factory Manager Xu walked to his own car, opened the door, got inside, and then led the way.

He initially thought Ruirui was a simple young girl, coming here with Huo Sinan, seeing Huo Sinan’s attitude towards her, he seemed intent on picking her up.

But now, it appeared Ruirui was far from simple, this man had an even stronger presence than Huo Sinan and was more handsome too.

Factory Manager Xu’s face grew ugly, more out of anger, his gaze looking out of the car window, his eyes half-closed.

The driver asked in a low voice, "Manager, where are we going now?"

"Let’s take a round first," said Factory Manager Xu.

"Yes."

Thus, the driver drove the car in circles in the front.

In the back of the car, Pei Liyan and Qiao Rui sat together, Fang Mo was in the front row, leaving just the two of them.

Qiao Rui didn’t expect Pei Liyan to come and asked, "Mr. Pei, how come you are here?"

"I heard Huo Sinan had an accident, came to check it out," Pei Liyan’s tone was very calm.

Qiao Rui slightly furrowed her brows, "Mr. Pei is very well-informed."

Pei Liyan’s gaze swept over Qiao Rui’s calm face, catching the girl’s sarcastic tone.

He seemed unconcerned, "Not very well-informed, I only found out today, if I had known last night, it would have been better, at least not as passive as now."

Qiao Rui stiffened, her face turning slightly red when she thought of last night.

Seeing the girl’s slightly embarrassed demeanor, Pei Liyan followed up unhurriedly, "Last night was too busy, didn’t have time to inquire about the situation."

Qiao Rui’s face darkened, she felt that Pei Liyan was deliberately saying these words, just to make her feel embarrassed.

Qiao Rui was very clear about that, her eyes half-lowered; she could feel the man’s demeanor with the corner of her eyes.

He looked composed and calm, his handsome face exuding a sexy laziness, as if he was in a good mood, confident and charming, always displaying the posture of a superior.

Qiao Rui’s heart skipped a beat.

It was probably the events of last night that made her feel a bit embarrassed even today; after all, sitting in the car with Pei Liyan, to outsiders, she looked like the other woman.

In reality, she was his wife.

Still, the words deliberately spoken by the man irritated her a bit.

Qiao Rui quickly calmed herself down, and spoke, "Mr. Pei, since you already know about Huo Sinan being in trouble, with your capabilities, you must have found out his exact situation too?"

Pei Liyan turned his head to glance at Qiao Rui and asked back, "Are you so concerned about Huo Sinan’s situation?"

Qiao Rui also raised her eyes to meet the man’s gaze, only feeling that Pei Liyan’s eyes were somewhat cold.

She was puzzled, why did he have such an expression?

Qiao Rui’s eyes swept over the man’s gloomy face, "Yes, I am very concerned about his safety."

After all, Huo Sinan had stood up for her at a crucial moment.

Moreover, Little Xingxing was so young and without a mother, if he had no father either, that would be too pitiful.

Regardless of the pretext, Qiao Rui was concerned about Huo Sinan.

Seeing the girl openly admit her concern for another man, Pei Liyan’s eyes grew even colder.

He swept a cold glance at Qiao Rui and went silent.

Not understanding, Qiao Rui insisted, "Mr. Pei, you haven’t answered my question yet. Huo Sinan is okay, right?"

"Miss Rui, I am under no obligation to answer your question," Pei Liyan retorted.

Qiao Rui smirked, nodding, "Indeed, Mr. Pei is under no obligation; I thought Mr. Pei was kindly helping, but it turns out he came to watch the spectacle."

The atmosphere inside the car instantly became tense.

Fang Mo, in front, also hardly dared to breathe.

After a brief silence, Pei Liyan finally spoke. "It’s not about watching a spectacle."

Qiao Rui also restrained her emotions and said, "Then I thank Mr. Pei on behalf of Huo Sinan."

Pei Liyan raised his eyebrows, lifting the corners of his lips, "Miss Rui, no need for formalities between us, I indeed came here considering your feelings."

Qiao Rui was taken aback, making it seem as though the two of them had some deep connection.

But, wasn’t that the case?

Qiao Rui turned her head to look out the window.

The man beside her watched her, though neither spoke, Qiao Rui could feel his gaze on her.

She dismissed him with a simple, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

"President, Xu is leading us in circles," Fang Mo spoke up from the front.

He had felt it from the start, that the other party was continuously taking them in circles around Tea Mountain.

After a few minutes of observation and verification, Fang Mo confirmed it was indeed circle-driving.

Pei Liyan said, "Go ahead, cut him off."

"Yes!"

Before Fang Mo had finished speaking, he sped up, maneuvered in front of Factory Manager Xu’s car, and cut him off.

The speed was a bit fast, and Factory Manager Xu’s driver had to brake suddenly, nearly catapulting Factory Manager Xu out.

He cursed, "Fuck, what the hell is going on?"

"Manager, manager, their car, suddenly cut us off."

By this time, Fang Mo had already gotten out of the car and walked over, pulling open the car door and grabbing Factory Manager Xu by the collar.

Fang Mo said in a deep voice, "Like driving in circles, do you?"

Factory Manager Xu was startled, never expecting his actions to have been noticed.

But still, he grinned, saying, "Buddy, I don’t understand what you mean by ’driving in circles’?"

"You’re stalling for time." Fang Mo stretched out his hand and patted Factory Manager Xu’s face, stating sternly, "Seems you’re quite untruthful."

By now, Qiao Rui had completely lost her patience.

She got out of the car, walked over, and without caring what Fang Mo thought, snatched Factory Manager Xu’s arm from Fang Mo, twisted it hard, and with a crack, Factory Manager Xu immediately let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

His arm was dislocated by Qiao Rui!
