Perhaps because he was a little curious about the girl who appeared suddenly, that partner always looked at her from time to time.

He is about 40 years old, his figure is a bit fat, his stomach is protruding, and there is even a thin layer of oil on his face, which looks very greasy.

Being stared at by such a person, and the eyes seemed to be very friendly, Qiao Ran felt a little uncomfortable, and moved her legs to the side.

But a single sofa is so wide, where can she move it?
About 2 minutes later, Chu Junbei suddenly turned cold: "Mr. Li, you should go back first, and I will get someone to contact you when you think about it."

Mr. Li was looking at Qiao Ran's calf, and when he heard Chu Junbei's words, he nodded in a daze, and kept saying "don't worry", when he suddenly realized something was wrong, and turned his head to look at Chu Jun Bei's narrow eyes widened a lot in an instant.

"Chu... President Chu, what did you just say?"

"Didn't hear clearly?" Chu Junbei had a half-smile, his expression...not very happy.

Mr. Li shook his head honestly, "Haven't we already agreed on this project? The only thing left is the details of the contract..."

"I've changed my mind now." Chu Junbei crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and said flatly, "Mr. Li, please go back and talk to the company. If you want to talk about cooperation, at least find someone to come over and talk to me." .”

Afraid of Qiao Ran's embarrassment, he leaned closer to Mr. Li, and lowered his volume: "You keep staring at other girls, do you think I'm blind?"

Only now did Mr. Li realize where he had offended Chu Junbei, and quickly waved a pair of chubby hands to explain: "No, Mr. Chu, I..."

"Please." Chu Junbei raised his head and closed his eyes, as if unwilling to say anything more to him, "Mr. Li, everyone is a person of status, don't let me make things too ugly. "

To Chu Junbei, this was considered very polite, after all, he didn't directly let the security guard come in to drag him away.

Mr. Li originally wanted to explain a few words, but when he heard Chu Junbei's words, he swallowed them back.

Forget it, forget it, Chu Junbei is not someone he can offend, so let's go back and talk about it first. There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Thinking of this, he got up and left. He wanted to take another look at Qiao Ran, but he didn't dare in the end.

Qiao Ran blinked her eyes as she watched Mr. Li leaving cautiously.

After a while, she turned to Chu Junbei again, and asked with some guilt: "Did I disturb you? You seem to be talking about something important."

"It's not important." It's just that there is a development project that is worth investing in. If it succeeds, it is conservatively estimated that it can earn [-] million yuan.

After sitting by Qiao Ran's side, Chu Junbei asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"Is there any orange juice?"

"En." In response, Chu Junbei sent a WeChat message to Secretary Zhang.

One minute later, the fruit juice exuding a strong fragrance was delivered to Qiao Ran.

Seeing Qiao Ran obediently drinking juice with her slender eyelashes hanging down, Chu Junbei's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, turned his eyes away, and when he spoke again, his voice was a bit rough: "Why did you come to me suddenly?"

I don't know if the orange juice is too delicious. Anyway, Qiao Ran didn't set up defenses against Chu Junbei, and replied: "I met Pei Xianglin on the set today, and Pei Hao also came later, and I was in a bad mood."

"Pei Xianglin?" Chu Junbei was a little puzzled, "What is she doing on the set?"

"She's the boss." After a pause, realizing that Chu Junbei might have misunderstood something, Qiao Ran said, "It's not Director Xu's crew, it's another crew."

Another crew?
Now, Chu Junbei was a little unhappy, "Did you go to another film crew?"

Before Qiao Ran could answer, he asked again, "Are you short of money?"

"It's missing." Qiao Ran raised her eyelashes and looked at him, swallowed the juice sucked into her mouth, and spat out the straw again, "And I've been running around the crew all the time."

Chu Junbei turned his gaze away, but he firmly grasped the sofa under him with his hands.

After a while, he said, "That crew, don't go."

Qiao Ran followed suit, "Well, I won't go."

After a while, she thought of something again, and sat down beside Chu Junbei, "By the way, I heard Pei Xianglin quarrel with Pei Hao, saying that Pei Hao is not from Pei's family... What's going on? He's not my brother ?"

She was too close, and the faint scent of her body mixed with the faint smell of orange juice floated into Chu Junbei's nasal cavity, making the man's body tense up a bit.

Wiping his brow bone with his index finger, Chu Junbei said: "Pei Hao was adopted by Mr. Pei many years ago. He was originally an orphan."

"Huh?" Qiao Ran's eyes widened in surprise, "Is that so..."

Her lips were already full, and after drinking the juice, it looked more like fresh juice and flesh that invited people to pick. Finally, Chu Junbei couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up abruptly from the sofa.

He moved so suddenly that Qiao Ran was taken aback. She held the juice in both hands and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Suddenly remembered, I still have something to do." While speaking, Chu Jun Beiren had already arrived at the door, "You just stay here, I will be back in a while."

Then the door was closed.

Qiao Ran originally wanted to ask if it would be inconvenient for her to be here, but before she could ask, Chu Junbei could already disappear.

"What's so urgent?" Qiao Ran frowned, genuinely distressed.

However, he had been talking to Chu Junbei just now, and now that he was no longer here, Qiao Ran was in the mood to visit Chu Junbei's office.

The office is large, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and when the shutters are open, the sun can shine in from the outside.

In addition to the office desk and chairs and the sofa and coffee table in the reception area, he also placed a wine cabinet by the window, and there was even a flower stand next to it, and there were pots of cute potted plants on the flower stand.

Qiao Ran was not interested in wine, nor was she interested in the neatly stacked documents on the desk. She squatted down next to the flower stand and looked at the potted plants on it.

There are meaty ones, green dills, watercress greens, orchid grasses, and... prickly pears.

Qiao Ran stretched out her fingertips and lightly touched the light-colored soft thorns on the top of the cactus. It didn't hurt, but itched.

"You were raised by Chu Junbei?" Qiao Ran talked to those plants, "It's amazing, he doesn't seem like someone who knows how to raise potted plants."

"He didn't raise it, but I raised it." A woman's voice suddenly came from behind.

After all, it was in someone else's territory, Qiao Ran felt a little guilty, stood up abruptly, turned around, and saw Wu Shuhua who had arrived behind her at some point.

She was still the same as when we met last time, holding a puppet cat in her arms, with a kind and gentle smile on her face.

It's just that, this time when they met, her eyes were more scrutinized than last time.

According to Chu Junbei, this child is Pei Rong's daughter.

She really looks like... It's her fault. I didn't even have a picture of Pei Rong back then, so after so many years, I almost forgot what Pei Rong looks like. When she first saw Qiao Ran, she just felt Unspeakably kind, I like this face, but I can't figure out why.

It turned out that he was the child of an old friend, and his appearance was [-] to [-] percent similar.

"Auntie..." Qiao Ran didn't notice the look in Wu Shuhua's eyes because of her nervousness and embarrassment, but scratched her head in embarrassment, "When did you come? I'm sorry, I didn't notice it for a while..."

She looked so cute that Wu Shuhua couldn't help but deepen the curvature of her mouth.

"It's my fault. Didn't scare you?"

"No no……"

"Do you like these flowers? Do you want to take a pot home?" Wu Shuhua put the cat down and began to water the green plants, "I raised these, that kid Junbei is always like that, I don't think it's fresh I got angry, so I got him a flower stand, and I usually come to take care of it every now and then."

Actually, Qiao Ran doesn't like potted plants very much. She just felt curious, so she squatted down to look at them, so she repeatedly waved her hands and said, "No, it's good that they grow here."

Wu Shuhua didn't force it, she chatted with Qiao Ran while watering the flowers.

What Qiao Ran didn't know was that at this time, an uninvited guest had already gone to her house.

Qiao Pingping was originally counting her cash assets.

Although Qiao Ran said she would not leave Suzhou City, she still felt uneasy, so she wanted to prepare first. If the Pei family came to look for them again, they would leave immediately. No matter what Qiao Ran said, she would not listen .

And at this moment, someone rang the doorbell.

Qiao Pingping put down her bank card, mobile phone, and passbook and opened the door.

However, when she opened the door, the smile on Qiao Pingping's face froze immediately.

That is……

"You... why are you here..." Because of nervousness, Qiao Pingping not only strengthened her hand holding the doorknob, but even her voice trembled.

"Is it convenient for me to go in and say a few words?" Mr. Pei stood at the door leaning on a cane, with a kind smile on his face, looking very sincere.

He didn't bring anyone else with him, he came here alone.

It was not easy for Qiao Pingping to keep such an old man in his dying years, so even though she had a grudge, she still invited him in.

Poured a glass of water for Mr. Pei, and passed it with both hands. Qiao Pingping sat down opposite him, "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

Mr. Pei didn't go around in circles, and said very directly: "I came to you today because I hope you can return my granddaughter to me."

Qiao Pingping grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hands.

Sure enough, they came to find Qiao Ran.

With her head down, Qiao Pingping almost bit her lip.

After a while, she raised her head, looked at the old man in front of her and said, "When Miss Pei handed Ran Ran over to me, she said that no matter what happens, Ran Ran must not be allowed to return to Pei's house."

Although it has been 20 years since that incident, Qiao Pingping's eyes are still red, and tears rolled down her face uncontrollably, "Mr. Pei, she is your daughter. What kind of mood was she in back then?" You can only say such things to me next time, you should know better than me in your heart."

For Pei Rong, Mr. Pei felt ashamed, and now listening to others repeating his daughter's last words, he felt a blunt pain in his heart, and his hand on crutches was also very uneasy.

"I...I know, I was the one who was sorry for Rong'er back then, and I was too impulsive." Mr. Pei lowered his head, took some time to sort out his emotions, and said, "Ms. Qiao, I am very grateful for your kindness to me all these years. Ran Ran's care, but I hope you can put her back to Pei's house."
