Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Someone Likes Playing with Men

"If you’re not greedy, why even discuss this with me?" Rui Danran retorted, "If you want Pei Liyan to divorce me, you can just go talk to him about it."

Just as Yichen was about to refute, he happened to see Pei Liyan and the others walking in, so he quickly changed the topic, "Then how much money do you want?"

Rui Danran just looked at Fu Yichen indifferently.

"You said earlier that ten million wasn’t enough; so name your price," Yichen said again.

Rui continued with her indifferent demeanor, "Mr. Fu, do you find it amusing to script and direct this play yourself?"

Yichen’s eyes tightened, trying to coax words he wanted to hear from Rui Danran.

But this woman did not take the bait.

"It was you who said Pei Liyan isn’t worth ten million," Yichen snorted. "We all heard that."

"You were the one who suggested ten million to get rid of me," Rui Danran smiled faintly. "Isn’t it just because Mr. Pei is right behind me?"

Everyone was stunned.

Yichen was also surprised; she hadn’t turned around, so how would she know Pei Liyan was standing behind her?

Pei Liyan just slightly raised his eyebrows.

Rui Danran had long understood Yichen’s intentions; he wanted to cause discord and portray her as materialistic.

Rui Danran didn’t want to bother, but she wasn’t feeling great today, and decided not to pretend anymore.

Without turning her head, and seeing Yichen’s shocked expression, she spoke in a deep voice, "Mr. Fu is an actor himself; why drag me into it? I don’t seek trouble, but I’m not afraid of it either."

As soon as Rui said these words, Yichen instantly became furious.

He hadn’t expected Rui Danran to be so smart, guessing right away that he had indeed tried to cause discord and saying it outright.

She had seen through him.

Indeed, he wanted Pei Liyan to grow tired of this woman sooner and get a divorce, as they were too mismatched.

Yichen became furiously embarrassed, "How could you have such a filthy mind?"

Rui Danran looked at Yichen’s embarrassed anger, smiled slightly, and said, "Isn’t it Mr. Fu who is the filthy one? Filthy thoughts and filthy means, but unfortunately, not very clever."

"Rui Danran," Pei Liyan rebuked sternly.

Rui Danran turned to look at Pei Liyan, her eyes behind the glasses ice-cold, and gazing at him.

That kind of look, with a strong sharp light, made Pei Liyan feel a sudden heaviness in his heart.

Rui Danran just looked at him mildly, making him feel somewhat inexplicably guilty.

"Ha!" Rui Danran chuckled, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Pei Liyan’s pupils contracted. "Quit the sarcasm."

Only then did Rui opens her mouth, "Did Mr. Pei call me for something?"

Pei Liyan had a misconception, thinking if he said anything critical to Rui, the girl would likely strike back.

However, he was curious to see what Rui Danran would do.

He suddenly looked forward to it.

So, he shifted his gaze and spoke, "You’re quite sharp-tongued, aren’t you?"

"Not as good as Mr. Pei’s brothers, all smooth talkers," Rui Danran retorted sharply, not sparing any face for Pei Liyan.

As expected, the atmosphere became immediately tense.

Pei Liyan strode towards Rui Danran.

Rui Danran didn’t back down; instead, she walked towards him.

Everyone was taken aback.

Qiao Xiang immediately said, "Rui Danran, what are you doing?"

Rui Danran glanced at Qiao Xiang and retorted indifferently, "Big sister, what do you think I’m doing?"

Qiao Xiang’s face darkened, feeling embarrassed and very angry. "Today is my housewarming party; are you trying to ruin it?"

"Heh, you’ve really thrown a big accusation my way!" Qiao Rui snorted and said, "Sister, have fun with all your male friends. Enjoy yourselves; I won’t cloud your party. I’ll take my leave now."

She then turned to leave.

Qiao Xiang stomped her foot in anger, blocking her way.

That wretched girl actually said she was playful. She had only invited a few men, but how did that translate to her being playful? Wasn’t this a dig at her?

If she didn’t retaliate, she would be belittled by this girl.

She definitely wouldn’t concede, glaring fiercely at Qiao Rui, with anger and flames burning in Qiao Xiang’s eyes.

She said sternly, "Aren’t you being too excessive?"

Qiao Rui glanced at Qiao Xiang. "Since you think it’s excessive, I apologize; sorry! Can I go now?"

Qiao Xiang did not move aside and continued to block her way.

Qiao Rui looked her up and down and said coldly, "So, you aren’t letting me leave either?"

"Sister Six, you have quite a temper," Qiao Xiang said coldly, "In front of so many people, you’re not giving Liyan any face!"

"Face should be earned by oneself. If someone is shameless, why should I give them face? Could it be you’ve given out too much and now you want to act the double-faced?"

Everyone was stunned again.

Pei Liyan also exuded an aura of sternness.

He walked towards Qiao Rui and said coldly, "Must you disrupt?"

"What disruption?" Qiao Rui retorted coldly, "If you’re afraid of disruptions, why set up the scene in the first place?"

He Zheng had been silent all this while, but upon hearing this, he immediately stepped forward to mediate, "Sister-in-law, could there be some misunderstanding?"

Qiao Rui glanced at He Zheng, who was all smiles, and spoke lightly, "It probably isn’t a misunderstanding."

"It’s just a slip of the tongue for everyone," He Zheng tried to smooth things over.

But Qiao Rui didn’t give any face. She smiled and said softly, "Mr. He, with such a big scenario, some like to act, and some like to set up scenes and play with men. Unfortunately, I’m fond of neither, so excuse me!"

He Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth. Play with men?

Wasn’t this a jab at Qiao Xiang?

But of those present, who was for Qiao Xiang to play with?

He Zheng maintained his smile, "Sister-in-law, that was a bit harsh."

Qiao Rui shrugged, indifferent. "Harsh? Speaking harshly is always better than acting harshly, don’t you think, Mr. He?"

He Zheng had no choice but to look at Pei Liyan, hoping he would say something.

But Pei Liyan stayed silent, his face gloomy and cold.

Qiao Xiang could no longer bear it, irate at Qiao Rui’s words, wanting to shame a country bumpkin only to be shamed herself.

She dared to say she loved playing with men in front of so many people, especially in front of Pei Liyan. It was infuriating.

Qiao Xiang’s face darkened as she approached Qiao Rui and said sternly, "Sister Six, must you leave? Must you be so unreasonable?"

Qiao Rui looked at her, "Staying is reasonable?"

Qiao Xiang frowned, "Those words you just said attacked every one of us. What do you mean by loving to play with men? Is it appropriate to reflect that onto your cousin like this?"

"Isn’t Mr. Fu fond of playing with Mr. Pei?" Qiao Rui looked serenely at Qiao Xiang, "Sister, why do you suddenly find the shoe fits?"

Qiao Xiang was startled, her face suddenly flushing. "You really have a way with words."

Fu Yichen was dumbfounded and more enraged, "Qiao Rui, you’re slandering me."

Qiao Rui merely looked at him, "What you do unto others, others will do unto you."

"Let Fu Yichen apologize to you," Pei Liyan suddenly said, "With that, can you stay then?"

Qiao Rui was also stunned, looking puzzledly at Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan’s gaze met Qiao Rui’s face, calm, as if the words she had just said about him did not bother him at all.
