My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at Madam Pei. She had heard many rumors about Madam Pei before.

They all said she was very kind, and although she was a little arrogant, she was very sensible. The Pei family was very low-key and never bullied others. There was only one playboy, Pei Qian, but he was disciplined by his eldest brother and was no better than those playboys outside.

The Pei family has a very good reputation.

But after these few contacts, Qiao Xi realized that these were just superficial.

This Mrs. Pei is obviously a petty, arrogant and vindictive person.

She also had the manners of a noble lady, but no substance. Perhaps it was the compliments from others that gradually made her look so hateful. This disgust should only be directed at her.

Qiao Xi pulled the corner of her lips and said, "Mrs. Pei, your upbringing and connotation are amazing to me. I wonder how so many guests here will react when they hear you say such harsh and harsh words. Maybe they will be shocked. Your good reputation will be ruined."

Madam Pei sneered: "I'm not targeting anyone else, why do I target you? There must be something wrong with you."

People with problems never think they have problems.

She also turned the tables and put the blame on the victim.

"Oh, please make way."

Qiao Xi looked at her blocking the door and was too lazy to say anything more to them.

Mrs. Pei even blocked the door to the house, and said with a smile: "This is the Pei family's cruise ship, I can stay wherever I want. As for you, I can let you get off if you want. This is our Pei family's engagement party..."

"Mother-in-law." Zhao Yaru tugged at her clothes and reminded softly, "They were all invited by A Zheng. Please don't delay A Zheng's business."

It would be ugly if we drove the Huo family away now.

Madam Pei shook off her hand, looked at Qiao Xi and said, "It's very embarrassing to be kicked out of the banquet hall."

She leaned against the door with a glass of red wine in her hand, looking at Qiao Xi with disdain, as if she was certain that Qiao Xi would not leave.

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "You want us to leave? Okay, I don't really want to stay for this engagement party anyway. Lao Chen, let's go."

"Hey, mother-in-law!"

Zhao Yaru shouted and quickly stopped Qiao Xi, "Mrs. Huo, my mother-in-law is just angry. This evens things out. How can we leave the party before it even starts? This is also bad for the Huo family's reputation."

She winked at Mrs. Pei again, hoping that she would say something soft.

I can't let A Zheng scold me again.

If Qiao Xi was really driven away, the guests would feel uncomfortable. Would the people who came with the invitation be driven away if they displeased the Pei family?

Mrs. Pei also knew that she couldn't really drive Qiao Xi away.

Now looking at Qiao Xi's half-smile, she felt a bit like she was in a dilemma.

But she couldn't bow her head.

So they could only remain in a stalemate, and Zhao Yaru tried to smooth things over: "Mrs. Huo, if you leave now, it will leave something for others to talk about. Just treat this matter as a thing of the past. Although our two families cannot be friends, we can still live in peace. If you leave like this, it will be irresponsible to yourself."

The mother-in-law was unable to lower her stance, so Zhao Yaru had to clean up the mess.

Qiao Xi smiled and stopped.

"Can you please get out of the way now? I need to find my friend."

Mrs. Pei's expression was a little stiff. She felt that she was being controlled by this little bitch.

She hesitated.

"Mother-in-law." Zhao Yaru said softly, "We still have to go downstairs to entertain the guests. Ah Zheng asked me to come to you on purpose. There are many of your old friends downstairs. Shall we go first?"

She has already found enough excuses for her mother-in-law and just hopes that the matter will be resolved soon.

But she felt a little disappointed with her mother-in-law's methods. She had thought that her mother-in-law was going to do something earth-shattering. She didn't expect that it was just a verbal battle, and she hadn't even won against Qiao Xi.

"Granny, let's go."

Zhao Yaru held Mrs. Pei's hand, and Mrs. Pei pursed her lips as if she had swallowed her anger.

Just as I was about to leave, the door behind me suddenly opened.

Her back had no support, and the feeling of weightlessness made her scream uncontrollably.

"what!"

Then he leaned back and fell.

The red wine glass in his hand also fell over, and the red wine spilled all over him.

Mrs. Pei fell on her butt!

"Mother-in-law!" Zhao Yaru tried to help her up in a panic, but Mrs. Pei was in so much pain that she could hardly get up. She felt that her coccyx was bruised, could it be broken?

"It hurts!" Cold sweat broke out on Mrs. Pei's forehead.

"Mother-in-law, where does it hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Zhao Yaru heard that she was in pain, but she didn't dare to touch her. She heard that if some elderly people fall, it's best not to touch them, otherwise it will be more serious.

Mrs. Pei took her time and finally managed to stand up.

But the red wine stained her dress, which made her furious.

She turned her head and saw that there was someone in the room.

The illegitimate son of the Zhong family was inside, with his hand on the door and smiling at them, and said, "The soundproofing of this door is not very good. I heard the noise outside, so I came out to see what was going on. What... is going on? Is Madam Pei lying at my door and eavesdropping?"

"I...I didn't!"

Mrs. Pei held her waist with one hand, looking embarrassed.

Even Zhao Yaru felt ashamed.

Mrs. Pei gritted her teeth, frowned, looked at Qiao Xi, and then at Zhong Yi.

"You...you are all in the same group!"

Zhong Yi smiled innocently: "What group?"

"you……"

"Mother-in-law, let's go change into a dress first." Zhao Yaru supported her and said quickly, "Let's go quickly."

Staying here would be humiliating.

"go!"

Zhao Yaru pulled her back, and Mrs. Pei uttered some curses.

Qiao Xi looked at her back and laughed out loud.

She turned to look at Zhong Yi, her eyes clear and full of smiles: "You have been in the room the whole time?"

Zhong Yi opened the door and said, "Yes, come in and talk."

"Ah."

Qiao Xi and Lao Chen followed him in.

Zhong Yi poured her a glass of water and said, "Sit down for a while and drink some water."

Qiao Xi asked, "When did you arrive?"

Zhong Yi sat opposite her and said, "Not for a while."

"But many people didn't see you coming."

"So I have to show up later and tell everyone I'm here." Zhong Yi looked at her and said, "Are you happy with what happened just now?"

Thinking of Madam Pei's fall, Qiao Xi raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously: "It's quite refreshing. Did you hear what we said?"

"Well, there's nothing good about the Pei family. They used to be low-key so they had a good reputation, but now that they're high-profile, all kinds of monsters and demons are coming out."

Qiao Xi nodded in agreement.

She glanced at the open glass window in the lounge again and looked at Zhong Yi inquiringly: "Are you and Xingzhou... hiding something from me?"
