Chapter 1100 Auntie Believes in Your Vision
"I really like you. I swear to heaven. If I'm even slightly false, I'll be struck by lightning."
Pei Shaoqing's expression was more serious than ever before, not the fake and true expression as before, as if he was teasing her, but she could clearly feel his seriousness.
This time, he was really confessing.
Qin Xiaoru panicked for a moment, then immediately looked away and got into the car without any response.
The driver was a middle-aged man. He glanced through the rearview mirror and asked, "Is this the owner of the car with the last number 2654?"
"Yes." Qin Xiaoru's voice trembled a little.
"Okay, fasten your seat belts, we're off now."
Qin Xiaoru fastened her seat belt and the car started moving, but her little face was still covered with a blush.
Turning to look out the car window, Pei Shaoqing was still standing there, his hands in his pockets, looking handsome, and it seemed as if everything around him had dimmed as he stood there.
He is so dazzling.
Recalling what happened in the elevator just now, Qin Xiaoru couldn't help but touch her lips. That kiss...
He seemed to sweep the tip of his tongue across her lips.
Her heart was pounding and waves of heat surged through her body. Qin Xiaoru covered her burning cheeks and tried hard to calm herself down.
I can't keep thinking about him anymore.
But for some reason, the more I told myself not to think about it, the more Pei Shaoqing's handsome face appeared in my mind.
And that sentence of his.
He said he liked her.
Lu Xi also told him that Pei Shaoqing really liked her.
At this moment, she seemed to be able to completely confirm that every time Pei Shaoqing teased her before, he was just confessing his love to her in a joking manner.
Pei Shaoqing really likes him.
This thought made her heart burn with joy, and that indescribable feeling of happiness almost filled her entire heart. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and even if she pursed her lips, she still couldn't hide her smile.
"Boyfriend?" The driver thought the girl was very interesting and couldn't help but strike up a conversation with her.
Qin Xiaoru quickly gathered her thoughts and shook her head immaturely, "No."
"Hahaha, it seems like he hasn't agreed yet. Girl, the guy is quite handsome, and it can be seen that he really likes you, don't miss him."
Qin Xiaoru's heart skipped a beat, and her smile became even sweeter. "How do you know he's sincere?"
"Uncle was young once, too, and he really liked a girl back then."
Qin Xiaoru's eyes lit up, "Have you married her now?"
"No, it's not suitable. Her family is quite rich. They own a whole industrial park in Shenzhen and are considered well-known. How can I be worthy of her with my conditions? When I was young, I thought that being well-matched was nonsense, but when we were about to get married, I found out that it was not the case. She was willing to marry someone lower than her, but her family looked down on me."
The smile on her face dimmed instantly, and Qin Xiaoru leaned forward, "Then have you ever thought about becoming better to be worthy of her?"
The uncle smiled helplessly, "Of course I have thought about it. At that time, I was young and full of energy, and I had a spirit of not admitting defeat in my bones. When we first met, I knew that his parents didn't think highly of me, so I secretly swore that I must become excellent in the future and make his parents look at me with new eyes.
"I did work hard secretly and was admitted to the best major in Peking University, studied for a master's degree, and took some money from my family to start a business. I was lucky at the time and made my first pot of gold from my first business venture.
"At that time, I was full of energy and went to propose marriage happily, thinking that I could finally marry the girl I loved, and I felt full of energy.
"But reality slapped me hard in the face. I was at a loss in their mansion and felt ashamed in front of the servants.
“Their family is actually very well-educated. They didn’t embarrass me in public, but they made me clearly realize the gap between us through those details.
"We had a big fight after that, and her family found him a rich second-generation girl, so we broke up."
Qin Xiaoru was a little surprised. "You have worked so hard for him, why do you give up so easily?"
"What else could I do if I didn't give up? His father found me and gave me 5000 million yuan to let me leave his daughter. I still remember what the uncle said at that time. He said it wasn't that I was unworthy of his daughter, nor did he mean to look down on me, but his daughter deserved better and more outstanding. He hoped to find someone who could help his daughter's career."
Qin Xiaoru fell silent.
She suddenly thought of Pei Shaoqing's mother, who was also an extremely elegant and well-educated woman. Even when she was asked to leave Pei Shaoqing, she did not humiliate her, but was very considerate of her.
It was because of this that she realized more clearly how big the gap between them was.
"Uncle, thank you." Qin Xiaoru smiled reluctantly. If it weren't for this uncle, she would have been overwhelmed by the surging love, forgetting her own identity and the gap between herself and Pei Shaoqing.
The driver didn't realize that he had played a counterproductive role yet. He laughed a few times and said, "It's okay. Why thank me? You two are a perfect match."
Qin Xiaoru smiled and said nothing.
After returning to the small villa given to her by the Pei family, Qin Xiaoru got out of the car to pay, but saw Pei's mother waiting for her.
She pursed her lips and had to walk over, "Aunt, why are you here?"
Mother Pei tucked her hair behind her ears and said softly, "Of course I came to see you. You had been living at home before, and you suddenly moved out. I don't know if the servants are taking good care of you. Your uncle and I are very worried."
Qin Xiaoru lowered her eyelids. "Don't worry, Aunt Wang is someone close to you and is very caring. Besides, I have my own hands and feet, so I can take care of myself."
"That's different. Xiaoru, why don't you have dinner with your aunt? Can we have a good chat?"
Pei's mother had a gentle expression, without any hostility, but Qin Xiaoru refused.
"Excuse me, Auntie. My roommate and I have an appointment to go to the library. We are preparing for the doctoral exam."
Mother Pei's smile dimmed, "Xiao Ru, you gave it to me, right? Is that why you are alienated from me?"
Qin Xiaoru's breathing stagnated, she pursed her lips, and decided to break this window paper, "I know, you came here for the young master."
"Hey... you are a smart kid, you always think of me. Shaoqing is always a fool, he made a scene at Jiabao's full moon banquet, he seemed to like Hao Mengyan very much, but I didn't expect him to turn around and look for you again.
"Xiao Ru, your aunt treats you as her own daughter, not as an outsider, so I can tell you the truth. Hao Mengyan is indeed not qualified to be the young lady of the Pei family. She cannot control the young master. Please help your aunt to observe which daughter is more suitable for him.
"He is already an adult. Nanzhou, Jinyu and Yizhou are all married. It is not a good thing for him to be so dissolute. Auntie believes in your judgment."
The color on Qin Xiaoru's face gradually faded, as if someone was strangling her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe. Perhaps she was too sensitive and actually felt that Pei's mother was using the "daughter of gold" to remind her to recognize her identity.
"I really can't help you with this matter because I have my own things to do. And you don't have to be like this, I...actually have a boyfriend."
Qin Xiaoru lied.
Mother Pei was startled, then revealed a hint of joy, "Really? When did it happen? What's his name? What does he do? Which family's young master? How long have you known each other? Is he reliable? When will you bring him to meet your aunt?"
