Emperor Shao's exclusive sweet wife
Chapter 31: She is my granddaughter
Xie Ruiyu hated Pei Xianglin sad and wronged the most.
The people who watched the fun started to discuss: "Miss Pei is really filial."
"Yeah, after all, it's a relic of the elders. If it's really lost, Miss Pei will be very sad."
Qiao Ran was firmly blocked by Chu Junbei, so she couldn't see Pei Xianglin's expression at this moment, but she could also imagine how weak she looked now.
"Miss Pei," Chu Junbei said in a flat voice, "There are some things that others can't understand, but it doesn't mean I can't understand them. Don't tell me, everyone has pretty faces. What do you think?"
Pei Xianglin froze, and suddenly raised her head, meeting Chu Junbei's warning eyes.
What does Chu Junbei mean by this?Did you see something?
Although she had such a guess in her heart, she couldn't express it. She could only pretend to be confused: "Mr. Chu, what are you talking about? I don't understand..."
Before Chu Junbei could speak, she took another breath suddenly, frowned and said, "However, since Mr. Chu wants to guarantee Miss Qiao, then I can't insist on it anymore. Let's forget about it."
Her words sounded generous, but Chu Junbei could tell that she was even more reluctant.
She made such a generous appearance, as if she was being oppressed and had to hold her hand.
Qiao Ran also recognized it, she poked her head out from behind Chu Junbei, and seriously defended herself: "I really didn't take that, I don't know why it's in my bag."
Chu Junbei smiled faintly, "Did you hear that?"
He said these four words to Pei Xianglin.
Pei Xianglin's teeth itch with hatred, she wished she could scratch Qiao Ran's innocent little face with her claws.
Originally, I wanted to clean up Qiao Ran and show her some color, but I didn't expect Chu Junbei to protect her like this.
Worst of all, she had to pretend not to care about it on the surface.
But she didn't want to just let go of this opportunity. If she missed it, she didn't know when she would find it.
When she was thinking about what to do, a person came in at the door, almost trotting up to Xie Ruiyu, bowed and said, "Mr. Xie, Mr. Pei is here."
Hearing this, Pei Xianglin's eyes lit up, and Xie Ruiyu hurried to the door to meet Mr. Pei.
Mr. Pei was leaning on a cane in his hand, with full hair and a bent back. When he saw Xie Ruiyu coming to help him, he smiled kindly: "Ruiyu, I'm late, and I want you to come out and pick me up in person."
Xie Ruiyu responded modestly: "Don't say that, Mr. Pei, it's my honor that you can come."
Over there, Pei Xianglin also hurried over and said in a coquettish voice, "Grandpa, you have to help me make the decision!"
She is the eldest lady of the Pei family, and Mr. Pei is her backer. Even if Chu Junbei doesn't give her face, he must give Mr. Pei face.
This is what Pei Xianglin had in mind.
Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Pei saw her aggrieved look, he asked, "Xianglin, what's wrong with you?"
"I..." Pei Xianglin was even more aggrieved, and even choked up, "Grandpa, I almost lost this bracelet."
Mr. Pei had a very good relationship with his late wife, and this bracelet was left to Pei Xianglin by his late wife. When he heard that it was almost lost, he also became anxious and asked: "What's going on?"
This time, before Pei Xianglin could speak, Lin Weiwei trotted over, "Mr. Pei, a thief came to today's banquet and stole Miss Pei's bracelet. If Miss Pei didn't find out early, the thief must have run away gone."
Qiao Ran, who was hiding behind Chu Junbei, trembled her eyelashes, and defended herself in a low voice: "I'm not a thief..."
Although her voice was not loud, every word fell into Chu Junbei's ears.
Turning around, Chu Junbei saw Qiao Ran's small body, with her head hanging down, and her whole body was tense.
For no reason, my heart suddenly seemed to be grasped by someone, it hurt so much.
Frowning, Chu Junbei held Qiao Ran's wrist.
His palm was warm, and his fingertips were covered with a thin layer of calluses.
He held it suddenly, Qiao Ran's wrist trembled, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his arm. When he looked up, he saw Chu Junbei's dark eyes looking at him, and also saw Ying. In Chu Junbei's eyes is his own figure.
So embarrassing, so embarrassing... Just like when he first appeared in front of Xie Ruiyu, so ugly.
"Chu Junbei..." Qiao Ran had a sore nose, knowing that this person believed in her, and she didn't need to explain herself, but she couldn't help but said, "It has nothing to do with me."
Chu Junbei frowned, and then said, "I know."
The voice was very low, as if he was deliberately suppressing some emotions, but the trust inside was very strong, and Qiao Ran could feel it.
Before Qiao Ran could be happy and grateful, she was dragged forward, and Chu Junbei's clear and pleasant voice wafted into her ears: "Follow me."
She was being pulled, and followed Chu Junbei's footsteps uncontrollably.
She originally thought that Chu Junbei was going to drag her away from this place of right and wrong and send her home.
But it never occurred to him that Chu Junbei would pull her and go directly to Mr. Pei, "Mr. Pei, this matter... Mr. Pei?"
Before Chu Junbei could finish his sentence, he saw Mr. Pei staring at Qiao Ran, his cloudy old eyes were actually full of light.
Men are sometimes like beasts, they have a strong desire to possess people or things that belong to them.
Once it is marked with its own mark, others will take a second look and feel whether the gaze is unkind or purposeful.
And Chu Junbei's possessiveness in this aspect is stronger than that of ordinary men, so as soon as he caught Old Pei's gaze, he pulled him back.
Frowning slightly, Chu Junbei's tone became more serious, with a little reminder: "Old Pei."
Seeing Qiao Ran disappear from his sight, Mr. Pei came back to his senses, looked at Chu Junbei and asked, "Junbei, are you here too?"
Chu Junbei: "..."
Not only am I here, I just spoke to you.
After tidying up his emotions, Chu Junbei gave a dry cough to ease the embarrassment, and wanted to explain to Qiao Ran.
However, before he could explain, he heard Old Pei's voice: "Is that girl your friend?"
Pei Xianglin felt that there was something wrong with Mr. Pei's reaction, but she didn't care about that much anymore. She just wanted to seize this opportunity to teach Qiao Ran a lesson, so she hurriedly answered in front of Chu Junbei: "Grandpa, she stole it." took my bracelet."
Now, Old Pei's complexion changed slightly, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little.
Thinking that Mr. Pei was angry, Pei Xianglin immediately added fuel to the flames: "Fortunately, Miss Lin and Miss He helped me find the bracelet, otherwise—"
Before she finished speaking, she heard Pei Lao say, "It's just nonsense!"
Lin Weiwei and He Yuanyuan, who originally wanted to go forward to ask for credit, stopped in their tracks, and even Pei Xianglin was stunned. Two seconds later, she blinked and asked, "Grandpa, you... what did you say? "
Mr. Pei turned his head and gave her a straight look, "How could she steal your bracelet?"
"How is it impossible?" Pei Xianglin retorted subconsciously, "I found my bracelet in her handbag, who would it be if she didn't steal it?"
From the very beginning, Chu Junbei didn't believe that Qiao Ran would steal things. Now that Pei Xianglin said this in front of Mr. Pei, he said flatly, "Miss Pei, if there is no evidence, you'd better stop talking nonsense."
Although the voice was light, it carried a clear warning.
Mr. Pei looked behind Chu Junbei, "Little girl, come out and let me see."
Qiao Ran swallowed, and walked out from behind Chu Junbei.
She could feel that Chu Junbei didn't want her to come out, maybe because something happened, or maybe it was not the right time for her to come out.
But she came out anyway.
She didn't take the bracelet. Now that the elders of the Pei family are here, she should also make it clear that she doesn't want to be treated as a thief wherever she goes in the future.
So she came in front of Mr. Pei, looked directly at him and said, "Hello, I didn't take Miss Pei's bracelet. I don't know what happened. Please trust me."
Mr. Pei's eyes that had just dimmed light up again at this moment, and I don't know if it's because of his age, but they are still a little moist.
He stretched out a hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Qiao Ran's face, but Qiao Ran was frightened and quickly took a step back.
Chu Junbei stood in front of her in an instant, frowned and said, "Old Pei, you..."
"Junbei, let me go." Old Pei's voice was hoarse, "Let me see... let me see my granddaughter."
As soon as Mr. Pei's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, whether it was Pei Xianglin, He Yuanyuan, Lin Weiwei, Chu Junbei or Xie Ruiyu, all of them had unbelievable expressions on their faces.
Even Qiao Ran's eyes widened suddenly.
What did Mr. Pei say?Said she was his granddaughter?How can this be?
She froze in place, and hadn't recovered from such an accident, Mr. Pei had already walked around Chu Junbei and came to her, held her hand, and stared at her face carefully with his eyes.
The more I looked, the moister the eye sockets became, the redder the eyes became, and even at the back, two lines of old tears rolled down in front of so many people, and murmured: "You really look like...you really look like... "
In the past few years, Mr. Pei has been looking for his granddaughter, but he has no clue, but he never expected that he would meet here today.
This is fate, isn't it because Pei Rong forgave him?He thought to himself, his heart, which had been gloomy for many years, suddenly shrouded in a piece of sunshine, warming it up.
Over there, Pei Xianglin couldn't accept such a change the most, and suddenly said: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? How is it possible? She is a thief!"
Chu Junbei suddenly frowned, and glanced coldly towards Pei Xianglin, covering her, "Miss Pei, please be careful!"
Pei Xianglin opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but seeing Mr. Pei looked towards her in dissatisfaction, she swallowed the words unconsciously when she reached her mouth.
After staring at Pei Xianglin for a while, then at Qiao Ran, Pei Lao asked, "Xianglin, you said she took your bracelet?"
The people who watched the fun started to discuss: "Miss Pei is really filial."
"Yeah, after all, it's a relic of the elders. If it's really lost, Miss Pei will be very sad."
Qiao Ran was firmly blocked by Chu Junbei, so she couldn't see Pei Xianglin's expression at this moment, but she could also imagine how weak she looked now.
