Emperor Shao's exclusive sweet wife

Qiao Pingping swallowed and closed her eyes forcefully.

After so many years, she originally thought that she could keep it a secret, but she never expected...

The last time that young man surnamed Pei appeared, she felt a sense of crisis.

Is this day finally coming?

"Ran Ran, stop asking." Qiao Pingping kept rubbing her forehead with her hands as if in pain, "Don't associate with them, they have nothing to do with you, remember what I said."

"But……"

"There are many things I don't want to mention right now, give me some time." Qiao Pingping opened her eyes, turned her head to look at the girl beside the bed who was eager to find out the truth of the matter, her lips were curled, with a hint of pleading, "Don't Force me, okay?"

Qiao Ran originally still had a lot to ask, but seeing Qiao Pingping like this, she couldn't ask anything.

Even if Qiao Pingping is really not her biological mother, Qiao Pingping has been taking care of her all these years and has treated her very well.

Since Qiao Pingping didn't want to talk, she had no choice but not to ask.

Seeing that Qiao Ran had no intention of asking any more questions, Qiao Pingping relaxed a little, smiled again, and said softly, "Go back and rest."

Qiao Ran didn't say anything else, and went back to her room.

Sitting on the bed, she took out her phone to check what time it was, only then did she realize that her phone was out of battery.

She took the data cable from the drawer again, charged the phone, and turned it on.

As a result, when she turned it on, her phone vibrated violently, and there were a lot of reminders from WeChat messages, SMS messages, and missed calls.

Qiao Ran frowned, opened it angrily, and became even more irritable.

It turns out that these WeChat messages, SMS messages, and missed calls all came from one person.

Chu Junbei.

Feeling angry for no reason, Qiao Ran wanted to call the other party directly to ask if he was sick. Why did she send so many messages?
But when he turned his head and saw the faint morning light outside the window, he finally gave up this idea.

At this time, Chu Junbei might not have woken up yet, so it would be unwise for him to call at this time.

However, such thoughts had just popped into her head, before she even had time to put down the phone, she heard the phone ring.

He looked down at the screen, okay, the caller ID is still Chu Junbei.

Now Qiao Ran felt that he had found a reason to vent, so he raised the phone to his ear without saying a word, wanting to curse.

But before she could swear, she heard Chu Junbei's anxious voice: "Where are you? Why is the phone turned off? Is something wrong? What did Pei Hao do to you?"

A series of questions stunned Qiao Ran for a moment.

However, Qiao Ran quickly realized that she felt a sudden warmth in her heart, which dispelled all the anger just now, and asked a little funny, "What can happen to me?"

Hearing Qiao Ran's answer, Chu Junbei finally relaxed a little, and asked again: "Then what's the matter with your phone? Why is it turned off?"

"The battery is out." Qiao Ran lost all sleepiness, and simply turned on the hands-free phone, walked to the window by herself, opened the moon-white gauze curtains, and stretched, "What about you? Why are you calling me so many times?"

There was no answer on the phone.

Qiao Ran felt strange. After waiting for several seconds, she still didn't get Chu Junbei's answer. She said "Huh", "Mr. Chu..."

"It's nothing." This time, Chu Junbei responded quickly, "I want to ask you about what happened last night, but you couldn't get through on the phone later, and I'm afraid something will happen to you."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chu Junbei felt that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

He was a little annoyed, and without waiting for Qiao Ran to ask, he said vaguely, "My company still has something to do, so I hung up."

Then I really hung up the phone.

Qiao Ran was a little surprised, and trotted back to check the time displayed on the phone screen.

Six twenty.

Tut tut!Go to the company so early?
The big boss deserves to be the big boss!
……

Sure enough, Pei Hao never appeared in front of Qiao Ran again, and he didn't even make a phone call.

Qiao Ran didn't ask Qiao Pingping about her life experience anymore, but she found that something was wrong with Qiao Pingping, she didn't even go to the bar, and stayed at home every day to cook for her, looking very preoccupied.

This kind of life lasted for more than a week, and Qiao Ran felt that it would not be a problem to continue like this.

After class that day, Qiao Ran received a call from Chu Junbei asking her to go out for dinner.

It happened that Qiao Ran was in a bad mood every day watching Qiao Pingping's cautious look at home, and she had no intention of eating at all. Pei Rong's face kept appearing in her mind, and she couldn't relax at all, so she went out with Chu Junbei .

Chu Junbei took her to a private restaurant. He never liked places that were too noisy, so he asked for a private room.

Qiao Ran followed him in and sat down. She didn't order food, but asked Chu Jun to order.

Chu Junbei then ordered a few heavy dishes according to Qiao Ran's taste, and when the waiter left, he asked Qiao Ran, "Why do you look so bad?"

"Is there?" Qiao Ran looked at Chu Junbei, and subconsciously wanted to reach into her bag and take out the mirror to take a picture.

But as soon as the hand opened the zipper of the bag, it retracted again.

Ever since she saw Pei Rong's photo from Pei Hao, she seldom looked in the mirror. She always felt that the face in the mirror was not her own, but Pei Rong's.

Chu Junbei tilted his head, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Recalling the way Chu Junbei talked to Pei Hao that day, Qiao Ran asked, "Mr. Chu, do you know Pei Hao?"

Chu Junbei originally wanted to ask about her and the Pei family, but before he had time to open his mouth, now that Qiao Ran asked first, he told the truth: "The Chu family has some friendship with the Pei family, and I also know people from the Pei family. .”

Qiao Ran nodded, she pursed the corners of her lips, as if she was struggling with something, and asked after a while: "Then... Where's Pei Rong? Do you know?"

When she was at home, she tried to ask Qiao Pingping about Pei Rong, but every time she started a conversation, Qiao Pingping changed the topic and her face was not good.

So Qiao Ran didn't ask any more questions.

She didn't want to ask the Pei family, so she could only ask Chu Junbei.

Chu Junbei poured Qiao Ran a cup of tea, and said lightly, "I know, but I don't know much."

Seeing Qiao Ran's wide eyes staring at him, with an unusually strong thirst for knowledge, Chu Junbei also said everything he knew:

"I heard that Aunt Pei was originally Mr. Pei's favorite daughter, but something happened 20 years ago. The father and daughter had a falling out. After that, Aunt Pei never showed up at Pei's house and died in the hospital. .”

Qiao Ran's hand firmly grabbed the napkin in front of her.

died in the hospital...

"Don't Mr. Pei know?"

"I don't know." Chu Junbei shrugged slightly, "It's all old things, and I know very little."

And he is not like Chu Junnan, he doesn't like gossip, let alone gossip about the past of these elders, so that's all he knows.

Qiao Ran drooped her slender eyelashes, and let out an "oh" in disappointment.

With her head down, she looked a little pitiful, like a caring kitten.

Chu Junbei felt itchy in his heart, and felt uncomfortable. He drank a sip of tea and originally wanted to suppress the discomfort, but who knew that the feeling was not only not suppressed, but intensified instead.

Rubbing his temples, Chu Junbei suggested: "If you want to know, then I can help you..."

He wanted to say that he could help with the investigation.

But before she finished speaking, Qiao Ran shook her head, "No need."

She didn't know what happened that year, but since Qiao Pingping didn't want her to know, then she didn't ask.

Moreover, if what Chu Junbei said is true, Pei Rong died in the hospital back then, and even the Pei family didn't take care of her, even if she really had the blood of the Pei family, she didn't want to recognize that family, and she didn't want to change back. that last name.

It happened that the waiter brought in all the dishes that Chu Junbei had ordered before, so Chu Junbei asked Qiao Ran to eat first, without thinking too much.

But Qiao Ran was still a little absent-minded while eating.

On the way to send Qiao Ran home, Chu Junbei couldn't hold back, and said, "If you want to know what happened back then, you can tell me anytime..."

"I don't want to know." Qiao Ran replied without any hesitation, looking out the window.

The fiery red sunset shone on her face, her long and thick eyelashes, and her slightly frowning brows.

"My mother is Qiao Pingping, and I have nothing to do with the Pei family." Qiao Ran said, closing her eyes.

As if in this way, everything can be isolated, so that those things can't have anything to do with her.

But, how could it be so simple?
Arriving at the alley outside the house, as soon as Qiao Ran got out of the car, a person walked in front of her.

It was a man in his 50s, wearing a neat and clean suit, with gray hair, and looked polite.

His goal was very clear, he went straight to Qiao Ran, stared at Qiao Ran for a while, and murmured: "It really looks like..."

Qiao Ran felt uncomfortable being looked at by a strange man, and turned her face subconsciously, "Who are you? What do you look like?"

Ever since she met Mr. Pei that day, she didn't like people saying the word "really like" in front of her.

At this time, Chu Junbei also came over.

The man cast his eyes on Chu Junbei, and immediately said respectfully, "Mr. Chu."

Chu Junbei nodded. He treated this man without the arrogance he used to treat others. Instead, he asked, "Uncle Chen, why are you here?"

Old Chen then turned his attention to Qiao Ran again, "Our old gentleman wants to see Miss Qiao."

"Old sir?" Qiao Ran repeated these three words, and immediately realized, "No need, my mother is probably not the person Mr. Pei is looking for. You have found the wrong person."

Old Chen didn't budge, "The old man has been waiting for Miss Qiao for a long time. It shouldn't be too difficult for Miss Qiao to show her face."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Qiao Ran's face.

Anyway, the other party is an old man after all, and he came here specially to find him. If he still doesn't see him, it's really not a good thing to say it.

Moreover, she couldn't make it through her heart.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran finally asked, "Where is Mr. Pei?"
