Chapter 1057
Ji Liangchuan was not in a good mood. "I don't get along with her. She won't tell me. She will only ridicule me. She may even gloat and tell me that the man is her future brother-in-law."
At the end of his speech, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He felt that this possibility was very high, and just thinking about it made him furious.
Pei Shaoqing couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha, you're right. Xiaojiu doesn't like you being her brother-in-law. It's well known to everyone. She probably enjoys seeing you being humiliated."
Ji Liangchuan gritted his teeth and said, "There is a character Jin in that person's name. Please help me check it out!"
Pei Shaoqing was almost laughing out of anger. He was asked to look up just the word "Jin". What's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack?
"Old Ji, instead of asking me to help you, you might as well go find Nanzhou. Maybe he'll know."
"No! Fu Nanzhou only has his wife in his heart, he probably won't tell me."
Ji Liangchuan was very sure about this. He couldn't bring himself to ask, and he didn't want Lu Xi to know that he minded the childhood sweetheart of Shen Pingting.
But, isn’t there a saying that goes “childhood sweethearts can’t beat the one who came from heaven”? He is the one who came from heaven, right?
"Then I can't help you. I really can't help you with this, and I can't take care of myself right now."
Pei Shaoqing didn't reveal much and hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Then he looked at the woman on the big bed opposite him, and the smile on his face completely froze into ice. "Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Hao Mengyan curled up in the corner of the bed with her arms around herself. There were messy clothes on the bed, and the wrinkled quilt almost completely wrapped below her chest. There was a touch of bright red on the white bed sheet, symbolizing the girl's virginity.
She didn't dare look at Pei Shaoqing, and didn't want to face his cold and ruthless eyes. His contempt and ridicule would be like needles, piercing into her heart, causing bursts of sharp pain.
Seeing her weak appearance, Pei Shaoqing sneered, and with a light "pop" sound, he lit a cigarette with a lighter. He took a puff and exhaled the smoke, "Hao Mengyan, I don't have time to play charades with you, come on. We are old acquaintances, forget about the little white flower trick, you, Master Pei, are really not a man who sympathizes with women."
Hao Mengyan clenched her fists, then mustered up the courage to raise her head and looked at him with a pair of red tears, "Don't you know what I mean?"
"Oh, do you think you deserve it?" Pei Shaoqing mocked, very mercilessly.
Hao Mengyan felt as if she had been slapped in the face. It hurt like hell. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Her dry lips trembled, "I know, but what do you want me to do? After all, we have already had sex."
Pei Shaoqing stood up with a jerk. His peach blossom eyes that usually showed a smile were now covered with frost. He smiled sinisterly, "So you are still right? Giving drugs and climbing into bed have become your Hao family's usual tricks. You three sisters are surprisingly consistent, all so despicable!"
Hao Mengyan trembled violently, tears welling up in her eyes, "You can blame them, but I'm different from them. Today I didn't scheme against you, it was..."
"Hao Mengyan, even if you are lying, please make up a decent lie! Your denial is a joke to me."
Hao Mengyan suddenly became anxious, "No, it's..."
"Enough!" Pei Shaoqing shouted, interrupting Hao Mengyan, and resumed his cynical look, "No matter who you are, I don't want to hear it! I tell you clearly that it is absolutely impossible to marry you. You can mention other conditions at will. Master Pei is not stingy."
"But don't forget, we are engaged!" Hao Mengyan reminded anxiously.
But what she got in return was just Pei Shaoqing's sneer, "Do you think I really care about our engagement? You should have known for a long time that I don't want to marry you. If you think you can use this incident to force me to do it, then I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible.
"Once you are exposed in the media and someone knows about our relationship, I guarantee that you will become the target of public criticism and end up in disgrace. You will also not be able to escape the fate of being completely abandoned by the Hao family!
"Your sister Hao Mengting is a living example. Wasn't she more popular in the Hao family than you? But what happened? Didn't she end up dying and no one came to collect her body?
"Hao Mengyan, I don't think you are a stupid woman. You need to think clearly about what to do. Do you want to have nothing or grab everything you can!"
With her fists clenched tightly, Hao Mengyan fell into silence for a long time.
Every word Pei Shaoqing said was heartbreaking, but they were also true.
Born and raised in the Hao family, she knows better than anyone how difficult it is to survive in the Hao family. Especially for people like her and Hao Yanan, who don't know how to calculate interests, don't know how to please their parents and grandparents, and don't know how to manage their own image, it is even more difficult. That's why she has never been as popular as her elder sister Hao Mengting.
Her marriage with Pei Shaoqing had dragged on for many years. They had clearly been engaged for a long time, but they were still not married at this age. It was simply because Pei Shaoqing was unwilling and he was going against his family.
Even though his father was secretly manipulating the situation this time, trying to make the two of them have an affair, and then use the media to make a big deal out of it, forcing the Pei family to announce their upcoming marriage, Pei Shaoqing still refused to compromise.
She knew about this matter and had mentioned it to her father, asking her to do it herself. However, Hao Bohua was stubborn and did not give her a chance to resist. He secretly drugged her and...
My father thought Pei Shaoqing would take the family's reputation into consideration, but he obviously underestimated Pei Shaoqing.
Moreover, Pei Shaoqing's words just now kept echoing in her ears. He made sense, and she also had to consider her own future.
Seeing Pei Shaoqing about to leave, Hao Mengyan called him anxiously, "Wait a minute!"
Pei Shaoqing stood still, holding the cigarette between his fingers. He looked at Hao Mengyan with a playful expression, "Have you thought it through?"
Hao Mengyan nodded heavily, her eyes unusually firm, "I've made up my mind, I can cancel the engagement, but you have to agree to one condition of mine!"
"You're overthinking it. You have to cancel the engagement. You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. What you have to do is negotiate terms with your father and the people in the Hao family."
After saying that, he pushed open the door, left the room, and immediately went back to find Qin Xiaoru.
Qin Xiaoru was packing her things when Pei Shaoqing pushed the door open. Their eyes met and their movements paused for a moment. Then Qin Xiaoru withdrew her gaze and continued to pack her luggage.
Pei Shaoqing sat down on Qin Xiaoru's bed, his peach blossom eyes filled with wanton laughter, and his tone was even more teasing, "Are you planning to run away from home?"
Qin Xiaoru suddenly laughed, "What do you mean running away from home? I'm going to study for a master's degree and I have to live on campus. I can't live with you forever."
"You still say you're not angry?" Pei Shaoqing reached out and grabbed the ponytail behind Qin Xiaoru's head.
Qin Xiaoru straightened up immediately, grabbed her hair, turned around and glared at him fiercely, "Are you sick? Can you stop touching me all the time? I've told you 100 times not to grab my hair, or you'll go bald!"
"You'll be bald even if I don't scratch you. If you tie your hair into such a high ponytail, your hairline will move up."
"I like it! It's none of your business!" Qin Xiaoru pulled her hair back forcibly.
Pei Shaoqing closed her suitcase directly, his expression becoming more serious, "Can you listen to my explanation?"
