91 Heart-to-Heart Talk with Fourth Brother
As soon as Pei Jiao said this, the atmosphere was silent for more than a minute.
Lin Huan clenched her fists nervously, looking at a loss. Before she went out today, she had specially dressed up. From her makeup to her outfit, she was exquisite. Even her hair had been carefully styled, afraid that she would dissatisfy Mrs. Pei.
As for looks, Lin Huan had always been very confident. Because the Lin familyâs genes were very good, her aunt, Lin Yourong, also married into the wealthy Zhou family with that face. Although the Zhou family was not worth mentioning in front of the Pei family, they had also entered the circle of aristocratic families and were very prominent.
Her aunt had long told her that she would definitely be able to marry into a wealthy family in the future. She was also very obedient to her aunt. During the period when she was training overseas, she worked hard and won some awards in the design world, enriching her resume and experience, learning the piano, the violin, and many foreign languages to improve her external conditions.
She had made so much preparation, and now the opportunity was right in front of her, but Mrs. Pei did not seem very satisfied with her.
At this moment, the Herti employee brought over an exquisite dessert.
Lin Yourong immediately took advantage of this moment to make arrangements. âQianye, hasnât it been a while since you shopped for clothes and changed new hairstyles? How about this? Iâll let Huanhuan accompany you shopping this afternoon and choose clothes to match. Huanhuan is especially good at doing hairstyles, too. Huanhuan can also refer to you.â
Han Qianye raised her hand to touch her bun. âMy hairstyle is new. Iâm very satisfied now. Thereâs no need to change it.â
Lin Yourong refused to give up. âThen the clothesâ¦â
Han Qianye said, âIâve already ordered a few sets of Chanelâs autumn and winter high-end clothes. Theyâll probably be here in two days.â
Lin Yourong still refused to give up. âAnd shoesâ¦â
Han Qianye cleared her throat. âBalenciaga had contacted me when they released their new product.â
Lin Yourong went for the next best thing. âThen letâs not go shopping. Just focus on your face today and let Huanhuan accompany you to chat. At the same time, change the style of your nails. I heard that their manicurists have developed new patterns.â
Han Qianye raised the back of her hand and looked at it. âThe color of my nails is quite good. Itâll look ugly if I change them again.â
Lin Yourong: ââ¦â
Lin Huan, who could not speak, was speechless.
Han Qianye felt that it was not good to drag this out. She cleared her throat and said, âActually, I learned some new words from young people surfing the Internet. I used them casually just now. I might have used the wrong words. Miss Lin, please donât take it to heart.â
Hearing Han Qianyeâs explanation, Lin Huan was flattered. She waved her hand quickly. âNo, no.â
Han Qianye smiled. âThatâs good.â With that, Han Qianye suddenly excused herself and stood up. âMy Old Pei asked me to go to the company to get something. I almost forgot about this. I canât do my face today. Rongrong, letâs meet another day.â
Without waiting for Lin Yourong to say anything, Han Qianye grabbed her bag and quickly left.
Pei Jiao stood up. âMom, donât leave me behind.â
â
In the car.
Han Qianye was a little angry.
Pei Jiao did not dare to provoke her. She only dared to ask in a weak voice, âMom, Iâve accompanied you out for a while. This pocket moneyâ¦?â
Han Qianye glanced at her. âYou still want pocket money? Damn girl, youâre a professional pithole digger! Just let them go to Baidu themselves. Do you have to say it? Donât I care about my reputation?â
Pei Jiao explained, âMom, although Miss Lin doesnât look like the original, Iâve observed her for you. She can speak well and is gentle and cute. Donât you like daughters-in-law in this style?â
Han Qianye: ââ¦â
Yes! But that was in the past!
Han Qianye took a deep breath. âRemember, I like the quiet ones who ignore me.â
Pei Jiao did not understand. âMom, I remember that you didnât fall into the water when you went out.â
Han Qianye: â?â
Pei Jiao scratched her chin in thought. âYou didnât fall into the water. So why is your brain filled with water?â
Han Qianye: ââ¦â
She really wanted to send this wretched girl back to the furnace with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Never mind. She wasnât angry. It wasnât easy to maintain her skin. It was difficult to remove her wrinkles.
Pei Jiao returned to the point. âMom, that⦠money, hehe?â
Han Qianye said, âOther than money and Makka Pakka, what else do you know?â
Pei Jiao waved her hand. âMom, youâre underestimating me. I donât just know Makka Pakka. I also know Upsy Daisy. Oh, right, thereâs also Tombliboos.â
Han Qianye: ââ¦â
Han Qianye did not give this money. She only said, âGo find your father.â
Pei Jiao told the truth. âIf my father had a little money, he wouldnât have bought fishing rods that only cost dozens of yuan each.â
Han Qianye grabbed an important piece of information. âDid your father go fishing again?â
Pei Jiao looked at her cheeks with her tongue and smiled. âNo, I was just describing it briefly.â
No matter how much she argued, Pei Jiao did not get the pocket money her mother gave her in the end. Pei Jiao sighed at the sky. Then, she took out her phone and made a call. âTake two orders for me. I really donât have any pocket money recently. I canât even afford skin.â
On the other end of the line, Beike sneered. âThe recent order is a little big, but the price is really high. Are you sure you want to take it?â
Pei Jiao said, âI canât even afford the skin. Why would I care about the size of the order? Send it to me. Iâll accept it.â
Beike: âAlright, Iâll send it to you.â
Ding! Pei Jiaoâs phone beeped. After hanging up, Pei Jiao opened the message from Beike and gritted her teeth. âMoney is hard to earn, and shit tastes bad.â

At seven in the evening, the live broadcast of the four groups of couples ended at the same time. Millions of netizens left the live-stream reluctantly.
Although there were no more comments, the heated discussion on Weibo about #Xie Wenâs Mother-in-Law#, #Li Xiwuâs connection to Mother Dragon#, #Madam Di Xinâs arrival in the capital# was still fermenting. In short, ever since the live broadcast of the second seasonâs âMother-in-Law Joyâ, all kinds of popularity and topics had not decreased.
It had only been broadcast for a few days, but it had completely surpassed the popularity of the first season.
Li Xiwu was about to return to the inn when she said goodbye to Pei Youâan alone. âYou have the key to the small courtyard. Stay there if you want, but donât take photos and post them online.â
Pei Youâan was very obedient. âGot it, Sister-in-law.â He definitely wouldnât take photos. He also knew that he had almost revealed his sister-in-lawâs secret. Stillâ¦
...
Pei Youâan asked ingratiatingly, âCan I pack some of the snacks in the cabinet and take them away?â
Li Xiwu smiled. âTake whatever you want to eat.â
The seventeen-year-old smiled like a seven-year-old. After He Wang drove Pei Youâan away, Li Xiwu also got into Pei Jingzhouâs car. There was a driver driving. They both sat in the back. The black Bentley drove steadily down the wide avenue.
Li Xiwu looked at her phone first and absorbed todayâs trending information. After browsing through it, she put down her phone and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou, who was sitting beside her. âFourth Brother, do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk?â
Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at her. Their eyes met. Although his expression was cool, his gaze on her was gentle. âWhat do you want to talk about?â
Li Xiwu enunciated each word clearly. âThe fact that you booked the entire Waldorf restaurant but I wasnât there.â
