Chapter 274, ask them out
Su Qin once mentioned that Pei Qing, the person in charge of the Eastern Dynasty Base, was an upright person, so Pei Xiao was well-bred by him.

Jiang Ran didn't have a good impression of him because of the Shi family, but knowing Si Xu's identity, he could calmly accept the cooperation. Pei Qing is indeed a very qualified leader.

But... Pei Qing wants to talk to Si Xu alone, there are two other people who just had a conflict here...

Jiang Ran was still thinking about how Pei Qing would deal with the Shi family, when a gentle voice came from above his head.

"Since Ah Qing, you want to discuss the cooperation with Professor Si in detail..." Huo Zhihua came down from the upstairs and stopped at the corner, "Why don't you ask Mr. Shi and Lingmei to leave first, and then come to visit after Ah Qing is free?"

Her tone was gentle, neither hurried nor slow, and she spoke eloquently. It was clearly an order to chase away guests, but it was impossible to say anything to refute.

As soon as Huo Zhiqiang appeared, Shi Yujiao's face became a little uncomfortable. Hearing that she gave the order to evict guests in the tone of a hostess, Shi Yujiao's pretty face turned red and then pale, and she looked at her brother as if asking for help.

Shi Yuji was indifferent, and looked at Huo Zhiqiang with a smile: "What Mrs. Pei said is that Shuai Pei wants to talk about business, so naturally we can't stay any longer."

Pei Qing winked at the assistant: "Send Mr. Shi to his residence."

The Shi family often visited the Dongchao base, and Pei Qing arranged a separate residence for them.

Shi Yuji said that he was going to leave as a test, but Pei Qing actually asked someone to take them away... The man sneered and said, "Let's take our leave first, Shuai Pei."

He turned away.

After her brother left, Shi Yujiao bit her lip, wanting to say something else.

"Ms. Shi, I got a new box of tea here. It is the best Mingqian Longjing tea. If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can stay and taste it carefully."

Seeing that the woman was unwilling to leave just now, Huo Zhihua did not rush to chase her away.

She told Xiao Lai: "Go and make my Longjing tea. I'll treat Ms. Shi to drink tea—do you want to come together?"

The last sentence was said to Huo Lingyin and Jiang Ran.

Huo Lingyin was already waiting to watch the play, so naturally she would not refuse.

Not only did she not refuse, she also added thoughtfully: "I remember Longjing tea is green tea, right?"

Huo Lingyin laughed: "Yes, green tea. Why, don't you drink green tea?"

Huo Lingyin smiled: "How come? I like drinking green tea the most."

She walked up to Jiang Ran and grabbed Jiang Ran's sleeve: "Men are talking about cooperation, let's go, you accompany me and my aunt to drink tea."

Jiang Ran pulled out her sleeve and looked at Si Xu.

"Well, let's go." Si Xu stroked the top of her hair, "I'll go find you after I finish chatting with Pei Shuai."

They acted like no one was around, and Shi Yujiao was a little restless.

It was impossible for her to drink tea with Huo Zhiqiang, especially in the embarrassing state of being poured a glass of red wine by someone else.

When she appeared in front of Huo Zhihua, she had to be gentle and flexible, enough to rival Huo Zhihua, only in this way could she have a chance to trample Huo Zhihua under her feet.

Not at all.

After Pei Qing brought Si Xu and Pei Xiao upstairs, Huo Zhiqian ordered the servant to make tea and bring it up.

When she finished arranging things upstairs, only Jiang Ran and Huo Lingyin were left in the living room.

Shi Yujiao just found an excuse and left Pei's house.

"Going away?" Huo Zhihua's expression didn't change, "Let's go to the garden, I've already had some snacks prepared."

She looked at Jiang Ran: "I wonder if you like sweets?"

His tone was not as polite as it was on the surface when they first met, but a little more sincere and kind.

Without looking into the reasons for the change in the woman's attitude, Jiang Ran said, "I'm not picky."

In the apocalypse, some food is already good, and only families like the Pei family can still maintain their pre-apocalyptic eating habits.

……

She didn't go down to eat, Xiao Lai brought her a separate refreshment, and by the way reported to her who stayed for dinner.

Hearing that Si Xu was staying for dinner, she endured it for a long time, but still couldn't help sneaking out of the room.

After the child left, I'm afraid he won't come back. When we met last time, she had already read his mind from his eyes.

Even if she misses her day and night, but during the 26 years of her absence, his heart has grown strong enough to no longer need her.

She just wanted to take another look at him.

When she reached the stairs, she heard the questioning from the dining room.

The woman who tried to steal her identity as Mrs. Pei illogically accused her child of being a murderer!
Even though she had provoked her countless times before, she had never been so angry as when she heard a woman's accusatory cry.

She almost lost her grace and rushed downstairs to argue with her.

Then, the cursing stopped abruptly.

Jiang Ran splashed red wine on the woman's face.

When she heard the words she said in order to protect the secretary, her eyes were inexplicably red.

It's great, now he finally has someone by his side who can accompany him.

That girl would be angry because of his grievances, would stand up aggressively to defend him, and would... slowly heal his wounded heart.

Huo Zhihua caressed her temple hair and sighed.

Huo Lingyin ate the red bean cake, thought of something, and said casually: "Hey, Jiang Ran, I think something is wrong with that Shi Yujiao today."

Jiang Ran took a small sip of tea, and raised her head when she heard the words: "What's wrong?"

"I always think she did it on purpose." Huo Lingyin said, "Tell me, how deep is the relationship between her and Pei Wan'er, and she hastily accused Si Xu of ignoring Pei Wan'er in front of her uncle, what does she want to do? Guidance Uncle hated Si Xu with her?"

"She is sick, maybe her mind is abnormal." Jiang Ran smiled.

For those who bully Si Xu, no matter whether that person is intentional or unintentional, she will not be stingy with her poisonous tongue.

Huo Lingyin shook her head: "Don't be impulsive, okay? Think about it, the Shi family can get to where they are now, the two brothers and sisters must be people with means."

"It's okay." Jiang Ran continued to smile, "In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks can only be crushed."

"...When did you become so confident?"

"I've always been very confident - apart from being overwhelmed by strength, our brains are not bad. At least compared to that kind of idiot who acts regardless of the occasion, I think I'm still a normal person."

Huo Lingyin stopped talking.

She can be sure that Jiang Ran still hates Shi Yujiao because of what she said.Whatever you tell her now, she will only insinuate and curse back.

Huo Zhihua listened to the conversation between the two juniors, seeing that Huo Lingyin was choked up and had nothing to say, she smiled lightly and shook her head.

"The brothers and sisters of the Shi family are indeed very capable, especially Shi Yuji, so we should not take it lightly." Because of Pei Qing's attention, she has some understanding of the rise of the Shi family, "Shi Yuji was not the person in charge of the Zhaoyang base at the beginning. Secretary Jin said that Shi Yuji came to power after killing the previous person in power."

Secretary Jin is Pei Qing's assistant.

"Killed the last person in power..." Jiang Ran murmured, "Did you kill and set fire for the sake of power? You are also a ruthless person."

"Before I married into Pei's family, Shi Yujiao and Pei Qing were lovers. After I got married, the two of them kept in touch, and that's why Pei Wan'er was born." When mentioning her cheating husband and the mistress who interfered in her marriage, Huo Zhiqiang said indifferently, "She's here now for me."

Thinking of what Si Xu said about Pei Wan'er's life experience, Jiang Ran put down her teacup and looked directly at Huo Zhiqiang: "Mrs. Pei, Pei Wan'er was abducted and sold to Xiling Laboratory at a young age. Did you arrange someone to do it?"
