Chapter 1086 It Can’t Be Qin Xiaoru
Pei Shaoqing stopped and looked at his mother with a smile, "What do you want, Queen Mother?"
Mother Pei frowned slightly and slapped her son with her hand, "You are so unruly. Can't you learn from Nanzhou and Yizhou and be more steady?"
Pei Shaoqing winked and said, "If he becomes like that, he is no longer your son. Mom, tell me what's going on. I'm in a hurry to leave."
"Why are you leaving? The party isn't over yet, where are you going?" Pei's mother scolded in a bad voice.
"I'm going out to play. This party is so boring with so many people." Pei Shaoqing put his hands in his pockets, with a cynical look on his face, as unruly as ever.
Mother Pei hit the nail on the head, "Don't try to fool me. Don't think I don't know that you want to go find Xiaoru, right?"
Pei Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled teasingly, "Since you have guessed it, why are you still asking? I won't tell you anymore, just go back and coax the child. I see you really love the child, so you tease Wanwan and Jiabao from time to time."
Mother Pei scolded him, "No matter how good Wanwan and Jiabao are, they are not my granddaughters. If you are really filial, you should give birth to one for me as soon as possible, so that your mother and I can enjoy the happiness of being a grandmother, so that I don't have to envy others all day long."
Pei Shaoqing was happy, "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Mother Pei had a serious expression on her face. "I'm not kidding you. I really want to have a grandson. But, our Pei family's daughter-in-law cannot be Xiaoru. This is non-negotiable."
The smile on Pei Shaoqing's face froze immediately, and then the corners of his mouth curled up, looking like he was smiling, but there was no warmth in his expression. "Why can't it be Qin Xiaoru? What's wrong with Qin Xiaoru? If she has offended you in any way, I apologize for her. I spoiled that girl and she has no respect for anyone. It's my fault."
Mother Pei couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "You spoiled her, and you don't even know who spoiled you. I'm telling you the truth, it's not that Xiaoru is bad, but that you two are not suitable."
"I don't even know if it's suitable or not, how do you know? I'll go try it tonight and tell you if it's suitable or not, and then I'll tell you." Pei Shaoqing blinked ambiguously, turned around and left.
Mother Pei didn't understand what her son meant at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she finally understood. She was so angry that her face turned red. "What are you talking about, you bastard?"
Her husband walked up to her, put his big hand on her back and gently stroked it, frowning slightly, "Why do you care about him? Although the rich pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds, if Shaoqing insists on not agreeing, what can you do?"
Mother Pei glanced at him with a bit of anger, "Isn't it clear to you that I don't care what he does? What did Xiaoru's mother say at the beginning? She must not be allowed to marry into the Pei family. Have you forgotten?"
Father Pei's tone froze for a moment before he said uncertainly, "So many years have passed. Maybe she was unwilling to accept it at the beginning, so she didn't want Xiaoru to end up like her and suffer the same tragic fate."
Pei's mother pursed her lips and couldn't help sighing when she thought of Qin Xiaoru's biological mother. Qin Xiaoru's mother entrusted the young Qin Xiaoru to the Pei family and said that she believed the Pei family would treat Qin Xiaoru well, but hoped that they would not train Qin Xiaoru as a rich lady, but let her be a nanny for Pei Shaoqing, and let her remember that she was just a nanny and should not fantasize about unrealistic things.
Over the years, Pei's mother has not forgotten Xiaoru's mother's instructions. She has made Qin Xiaoru learn a lot since she was a child. On the surface, this is the nanny's duty, but in fact it is also to make Xiaoru more capable.
Mother Pei likes Xiaoru, but...
"No matter what, I promised Xiaoru's mother, so I have to fulfill my promise. There is no room for negotiation on this matter, so don't muddy the water for me." Mother Pei was very determined.
Father Pei frowned. Although he felt that his wife attached too much importance to promises, he did not argue with her anymore. From a man's selfish point of view, he certainly hoped that his son could marry a lady from a well-matched family, but marriage cannot be forced, everything depends on Shaoqing's own wishes.

"Qin Xiaoru, come out here." Pei Shaoqing stood at the door of the villa and shouted inside.
The villa is not very big and is not a top-notch luxury house with large front and back gardens. His voice can be heard inside the villa.
It is now past 9 o'clock in the evening and the lights in the villa are on, proving that Qin Xiaoru is at home.
However, Pei Shaoqing called out several times, but no one came out to open the door.
The roommate looked at Qin Xiaoru and teased, "Xiaoru, your master is calling at the door, are you sure you don't want to open the door for him?"
Qin Xiaoru shook her head and went downstairs to tell the servant, "Auntie Wang, go tell Pei Shaoqing that I'm not home."
Wang Ma looked embarrassed, "Miss Qin, I can't lie to the young master."
"Listen to me. Madam doesn't want the young master to get entangled with me, and you probably don't want Madam to blame you either."
Hearing Qin Xiaoru's words, Wang Ma's face froze and she could only hurry over to reply.
But before she could get over, Pei Shaoqing had already unlocked the door and walked in with his long legs. This kind of door control was not a problem for him.
"Master!" Aunt Wang widened her eyes in surprise.
Pei Shaoqing placed his index finger on his thin lips, made a "hushing" gesture, and lowered his voice and said, "Qin Xiaoru must have asked you to tell me that he's not at home, right? It's okay, just pretend you've told me and pretend you didn't see me come in. No one will hold you responsible, and my mother won't be able to find the blame on you. No matter what happens, I'll take the blame."
Pei Shaoqing had thought of all the possible situations. He was not very clear why his mother stopped him from being with Qin Xiaoru, but his mother had never been a person who despised the poor and loved the rich, so there must be other reasons.
As for Qin Xiaoru, she either really dislikes him or doesn't want to embarrass her mother, so the key to the problem still lies between the two of them.
Mother Wang had to admit that their young master was really smart and could always guess correctly.
"Okay, then don't sneak up on me, young master. Miss Qin and her roommate are here. Don't scare the two girls anymore."
"Don't worry." Pei Shaoqing made an OK gesture and his steps became much lighter.
Qin Xiaoru and her roommate upstairs heard Pei Shaoqing stop shouting and thought he had left.
The roommate felt a little sorry. While chewing chicken wings, he said vaguely, "I really don't understand you. If it were me, I would definitely seize this opportunity. Not everyone is as lucky as you to have such a rich and handsome young master. And have you seen the news? It is said that your young master and Hao Mengyan did not have a relationship, and they did not plan to get married. Isn't this your chance again?"
Qin Xiaoru froze. Didn’t that happen?
Does that mean they are innocent?
Qin Xiaoru's heart beat faster for a moment, but she quickly took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Even if Hao Mengyan was not there, there would be other rich daughters. The biggest problem between her and Pei Shaoqing was the difference in status.
Qin Xiaoru's eyes dimmed and she lowered them to hide her anger. "Don't talk nonsense. I don't like him."
"Don't like it? Is that true? I'm telling you, you must not say one thing and mean another." The roommate looked at her in astonishment, certain that Qin Xiaoru was just pretending to be stubborn.
Qin Xiaoru chuckled, "I really don't mean what I say. I don't like a playboy like him, but a man who is upright and masculine, who can give me a sense of security anytime and anywhere. Most importantly, he is also very handsome."
After hearing Qin Xiaoru's description, her roommate suddenly smiled. "Hey, hey, hey, I feel like your direction is very clear. Don't tell me, you already have a target, right? Tell me, who is it?"
