Endless Fall

   Chapter 167 Defrauding Pei's Family Property

"do not you?"

   "I am." He whispered to her ear: "As long as I live, my feelings for you will not change."

   "Hmm." Lin Jiao clasped his fingers tightly.

  Most of the world's promises will turn into bubbles, but she is willing to believe Pei Zhi once and give him enough time to prove it.

   "Beautiful." Lan Ying sat across from them: "Where are you going to spend the New Year this year?"

   "Dad's side." Her choices are different every year, but Lan Ying always respects her ideas.

   "What about your grandpa?"

   "They are reconciling soon." Lin Jiao briefly talked about what happened some time ago: "He will go to the countryside to pick up grandpa next week."

   "That's good." Lan Ying knew the guilt in Lin Hongyuan's heart, and naturally hoped that they would reconcile.

   She didn't talk about this topic any more, mainly chatting with Pei Zhi, trying to get to know him better.

   When they were about to leave, she and Xue Taiyao also packed a lot of things into his car and asked him to take them back to his family.

   Pei Zhi smiled and accepted the couple's wishes.

   He took Lin Jiao back to the Red Maple Forest and received a call from Pei Qisheng as soon as he put on his slippers.

   "Yao Qianning has come to the old house." His unexpected words caused Pei Zhi's footsteps to stop slightly.

   "Is she okay?"

   "It's okay if you say something." Pei Qisheng looked at the car that drove away from the door, and slowly talked about the passage.

  Yao Qianning came to visit in the evening.

   When she came into the room with Sister Luo carrying a bunch of gift boxes, Pei Zhen was playing chess with Chu Kui: "Uncle Pei, I'm here to see you."

   Hearing the voice, Pei Zhen looked back at her.

   He greeted Yao Qianning to sit down: "Qian Ning, I'm already so old, you should call me grandpa like before."

   Yao Qianning didn't meet Pei Zhen very often.

   She couldn't figure out his temperament, and she couldn't tell if his words meant anything, she just responded vaguely.

   "Have you had dinner yet?" She put the gift box on the coffee table and sat on his right.

   "Eat." Pei Zhen picked up a son and continued with Chu Kui, "Why didn't your dad come?"

   "He has entertainment and can't leave for a while."

   Yao Qianning chatted with him for a long time, from physical condition to hobbies, Chu Kui started to have a headache.

   He couldn't bear to bring the topic to Pei Zhi to prevent her from talking again: "Old man Pei, is Pei Zhi coming back tonight?"

"No return."

   "He still lives in the Red Maple Forest?" When Chu Kui asked, Yao Qianning asked Pei Zhi naturally.

   "Well." Pei Zhen didn't hide what he could find out, and he said to Chu Kui again, "He should be on a date now."

   "Dating?" Yao Qianning smiled on the corner of his mouth, and then solidified for a moment: "Is he in love?"

   "We've been talking about it for months."

   "Ah? Brother Pei said before that let's develop it, but I didn't expect him to fall in love."

   These little tricks of her are undoubtedly 'playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong' to the two old foxes.

   Pei Zhen still looked indifferent: "Did he say this? Why don't I know."

   "He told my dad."

   "Your dad must have heard it wrong." He picked up the teacup and took a few sips: "The boss is not someone who messes around."

   Yao Qianning's expression stiffened.

   She didn't know Pei Qisheng's original words, and she didn't have any evidence to prove that he said it. She only revealed it with a smile: "I just didn't expect him to talk so fast."

   "He's already thirty, how soon?"

   "Thirty is still young." She paused and asked curiously, "Did you introduce his current girlfriend?"

"no."

   "Have you seen her?"

   "We have met her grandfather in the countryside." Chu Kui shook his head and tutted, "Her grandfather was a farmer and was very rude."

   Yao Qianning didn't find her through the surname 'Lin', so she didn't doubt his words: "Her grandfather came?"

   "Yeah, come and beg."

   "Don't make your words so ugly." Pei Zhen sang with him: "That old man looks pitiful."

   "Is the situation of her family not good?"

   "Not very good." Chu Kui gestured: "There is such a big hole in his earthen house."

  Yao Qianning suppressed her disgust.

   She pretended to be worried: "Grandpa Pei, you should pay more attention to her situation."

   "Pay attention to what?"

   "It's very likely that she came to Pei's house."

   "Indeed." Chu Kui thought very seriously: "I think we should let them get married first?"

   Pei Zhen nodded: "Okay." He dropped a piece on the chessboard: "I'll ask the old man tomorrow."

   Yao Qianning, who was secretly overjoyed, couldn't come out of joy.

   Her eyes wandered back and forth on them, and she didn't know she was being tricked: "Grandpa Pei, what do you mean?"

   "I lack a daughter-in-law to be filial."

   "Aren't you afraid that she will deceive the Pei family's property?"

   "Anyway, the second child has the ability." Pei Zhen didn't care about the money issue: "I'll make more money after cheating."

   "What deceived?" Pei Qisheng, who heard this sentence as soon as he entered the door, thought they were deceived.

   "Qian Ning said that the second child and his girlfriend wanted to defraud the Pei family's money, let's watch more."

   "I said it was possible."

   "Where did you come to the conclusion?"

   Pei Qisheng's eyes were very oppressive, Yao Qianning hesitated for a long time without saying a word.

   Seeing that her face turned red, Chu Kui, who was watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal, continued, "Did you make a promise to others?"

   Pei Qisheng frowned when he heard that he had passed by.

   "No." He didn't like Yao Qianning's actions, and simply said bluntly: "Even if he is single, I will not match you."

   "For...why?"

   "You're not his type."

   Yao Qianning's hand on her knees tightened.

   She did not admit that she would lose to that woman, even if her voice choked, she would refute: "Your thoughts cannot represent him."

   "If he is interested in you, how could he not even have your WeChat? Qian Ning, you don't need to deceive yourself."

   For the sake of her being a friend's daughter, Pei Qisheng had a trace of affection, but didn't say too much.

   But his words still hurt Yao Qianning.

   "It doesn't mean anything without WeChat." When her tears were about to fall, she got up and said goodbye: "I'll visit again another day."

   Her departure did not affect Pei Zhen's playing chess.

   He fiddled with the chess pieces with a calm expression: "Qi Sheng, your friend has too many hearts."

   Pei Qisheng understood what he meant, so he called Pei Zhi immediately.

   He finished speaking: "In my opinion, she will try her best to meet Jiaojiao next."

   "I won't give her a chance."

   "Can you find me at Mingxin's address?"

   "I won't be able to find it soon." Pei Zhi immediately hung up the phone and sent Qu Shao a WeChat message.

   Seeing him standing still by the window, Lin Jiao, who was nestled on the sofa, approached him little by little.

   She hugged him from behind: "What's the matter?"

   "I met a fly." Pei Zhi held the slender hand and pulled her into his arms: "Why didn't you put on a mask?"
