“If I hadn’t seen you in person, I might not have remembered for a while, but as soon as I saw you, I knew you were Qin Zhuoning.”
As Pei Jiao spoke, she had already walked up to Qin Zhuoning. “Especially last time. I heard my mother mention you by chance. At that time, I vaguely felt that it was familiar. Now that I see you, 1 know.”
Qin Zhuoning was amused by Pei Jiao’s words. “It’s been a long time since we last met. You’re still so strange.”
Pei Jiao praised, “Long time no see, Brother Zhuoning. You’re still so handsome! ”
“But no matter how handsome I am, I still can’t enter Jiaojiao’s eyes.” Qin Zhuoning first sighed softly, then joked seriously, “I’ve grown such a face for nothing.”
Pei Jiao was cynical. “You’re so good-looking, yet you’re still lamenting. How is He Wang going to live if he hears you?”
Qin Zhuoning was slightly stunned. Soon, his deep eyes were filled with smiles. “Jiaojiao, I really like what you’re saying.”
“Hey, Pei Jiao, why can’t you change your bad habit of badmouthing others?!” Not far away, He Wang leaned against the Roman pillar of the spiral staircase. He was only a few steps behind Qin Zhuoning.
Seeing that Qin Zhuoning and Pei Jiao were chatting happily, he leaned against the pillar and watched the commotion. Hearing Pei Jiao suddenly mention him and say that he was not as handsome as Qin Zhuoning, He Wang was furious. He walked over with leisurely steps. ‘Your Brother He is good-looking, suave, and infuriatingly handsome. How dare you say that I’m inferior to him?”
As soon as he finished speaking, He Wang turned his face and looked at Qin Zhuoning provocatively.
Pei Jiao crossed her arms. “You’re so narcissistic.”
“This is called confidence.” He Wang took two steps forward and stood beside Pei Jiao. He raised his elbow and placed it on Pei Jiao’s shoulder, his face full of arrogance.
Pei Jiao smiled. “Long time no see, Brother Wang. Why are you still so flashy?”
He Wang said angrily, “Pei Jiao, you also know that we haven’t seen each other for so long. Can’t you say something nicer? Also, you just said that I’m not as good-looking as Old Qin. I haven’t fussed with you yet.”
“You’re still calculative? You’re so petty.” Pei Jiao poked his arm.
He Wang leaned forward slightly and leaned closer to Pei Jiao. He said in a tone that was about to laugh, “You still have the cheek to say that I’m petty. What about you? Just because he rejected your engagement, you turned the world upside down?
Pei Jiao snorted and shrugged. “You don’t know the whole story.”
Qin Zhuoning said on Pei Jiao’s behalf, “Jiaojiao has her reasons no matter what she does. Besides, Jiaojiao also said just now that neither you nor I know the whole story.”
He Wang chuckled. “1 didn’t say that she was wrong. Look at how worried you are. ”
Qin Zhuoning had always been on Pei Jiao’s side. Whether she was right or wrong, he would subconsciously feel that Pei Jiao was in the right. As his good friend, how could He Wang not know his intentions?
He knew it long ago.
He Wang turned to Pei Jiao and said, “I’m worried about you. You’ve gotten yourself into trouble for no reason. There’s no need for you to go all out to deal with such a person. Just say the word and I’ll make him kneel in front of you.”
Qin Zhuoning teased, “People who inherit the family assets are indeed different. They even speak tough.”
He Wang raised his eyebrows. “Of course.”
Pei Jiao had naturally heard that He Wang had successfully fought for the family assets with the help of her brother. Although it was not to the extent of fighting among siblings, the He family was indeed a little scattered now.
Old Master He was already dead. After He Wang took charge, he had been reorganizing the He family. He had been very busy recently and had taken the time to come today.
Here, the call came again.
The phone in He Wangs pocket buzzed. He frowned with a bad feeling. He took out his phone and saw that it was his subordinate. His expression darkened. He did not avoid Pei Jiao and Qin Zhuoning and picked up the call.
“Speak. ”
The subordinate on the phone said, “Master, Xiang Wanning ran away.”
He Wang was instantly furious. “What did I tell you before I left?”
The subordinate on the other end of the line was trembling. “Master, someone is picking her up.”
He Wangs brows gathered with hostility as he said coldly, “Chop off the people guarding her.” With that, He Wang hung up.
Pei Jiao, who was standing beside He Wang, could clearly feel He Wangs anger.. She frowned and asked, “What happened?”
