He Wang looked up. The coldness in his eyes faded and he returned to his sloppy appearance. He smiled and shook his head. “Nothing.”

As he spoke, He Wang placed his hand on Pei Jiao’s shoulder, unruly and gentle. “Brother is now the head of the He family. I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you anymore. I’ll leave first. I’ll take you to the ranch another day.”

Although He Wang deliberately restrained his emotions, Pei Jiao did not really know nothing. She nodded. “It’s true that I haven’t been to the ranch in a long time. Remember to take me there sometime.’

He Wang retracted his hand and turned to give Qin Zhuoning a look before leaving.

The two of them watched He Wang walk away. Pei Jiao flashed to Qin Zhuoning’s side and nudged his arm gossipily. “Do you know what’s going on?”

Qin Zhuoning retracted his gaze and looked sideways at Pei Jiao. “Why are you so curious?”

Pei Jiao smiled. “He took a call just now and his expression immediately changed. Moreover, 1 was very close to him and heard what the person on the phone said… Xiang Wanning? This is clearly a woman’s name. For a woman to stir up such a big emotion in him, their relationship must not be simple. She’s either an enemy or a lover.”

“You’re quite smart.” Qin Zhuoning laughed. “This analysis standard is very high.”

Pei Jiao’s eyes lit up. “The latter?”

In front of Pei Jiao, Qin Zhuoning had nothing to hide. He nodded slightly.

“Then…” Pei Jiao’s face was full of gossip. “Who is Xiang Wanning?”

Qin Zhuoning said, “His stepmom.”

Pei Jiao’s sparkling eyes widened, and her pupils trembled. “T-t-t-this?”

“But not anymore.”

“Because Old He is already dead.”

“Dead?”

“Have you forgotten?”

“Oh, oh, oh—” Pei Jiao belatedly raised her hand to scratch her ear. “I knew, but the CPU exploded for a moment just now. I didn’t react.”

That relationship stunned her. But on second thought, this seemed like something He Wang would do. After calming down a little, Qin Zhuoning threw her another thunderbolt. “It’s not unrequited.” Pei Jiao said, “He even tried to take it by force?”

Qin Zhuoning smiled without saying anything.

“Why are you telling her everything!” Not far behind, Pei Jingzhou walked over.

Pei Jiao turned around first and shouted, “Brother, you’re here.”

Qin Zhuoning also turned around and explained, “She was curious, so I said a few more words.’

“You shouldn’t have told her even if she’s curious.” Pei Jingzhou handed the golden-pink invitation to Pei Jiao.

Qin Zhuoning smiled helplessly. Pei Jiao took the golden-pink invitation Pei

Jingzhou handed her. “What is this?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Look for yourself.”

Pei Jiao took a closer look at the words on the cover of the Dost. “A wedding

invitation?” She immediately opened the invitation. After reading it, Pei Jiao looked at Pei Jingzhou with wide eyes.

Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled. “You didn’t understand?” Pei

Jiao’s mouth moved, then she silently turned to look at Qin Zhuoning. At this moment, Pei Jingzhou added, “If you don’t understand, let Old Qin read it for you.”

Pei Jiao asked Qin Zhuoning, “You know about me?”

Qin Zhuoning nodded. ‘Yes.”

Pei Jiao lowered her eyes in frustration. “Brother Zhuoning, I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”

Qin Zhuoning shook his head. “You’re being too polite.”

Pei Jiao was a little worried. “The fake marriage is a farce. Won’t this affect

After what she had done, she asked her brother to help her resolve it. This time, even she felt that it was a little too much. It was all because she couldn’t take it lying down.

Qin Zhuoning saw Pei Jiao’s worry. “Of course I don’t mind, but if you do…”

“How could I mind?” Pei Jiao said to Qin Zhuoning. “I’m worried about how this will affect you. After all, it’s only a temporary measure.”

Qin Zhuoning smiled faintly. “As you said, it’s just a temporary measure. It doesn’t affect me at all. I’m worried that you’ll mind that the person you’re pretending to be engaged to is me.”

Pei Jiao shook her head. “How could that be?”

Three days later was a time she had casually set for Wei Yu. The engagement date on the wedding invitation was set by Pei Jingzhou. Seven days later. This was too long. She couldn’t drag it out. Wei Yu just didn’t know her true identity at the moment, but that didn’t mean he never knew. Matriarch Wei and Wen Qiong, either one would tell Wei Yu about it. so…

Pei Jiao looked at Pei Jingzhou. “Brother, I want to bring forward the engagement date to three days later.”

Qin Zhuoning glanced sideways at Pei Jiao. “I’m fine with it.”

Pei Jingzhou frowned. “If you want to bring it forward, and Old Qin won’t have a problem. Then let’s set it three days later.”

In these three days, the news that the Pei family was going to marry the Qin family quickly spread throughout the upper-class circle and the entire wealthy family. At the same time, Pei Jiao had not been idle for the past three days. She had kept in touch with Wei Yu every night to stabilize him.

Wei Yu had no idea that she was getting engaged. It was not until the afternoon before the engagement that Wei Yu received the address Pei Jiao had given him. She added: If you come tomorrow, I’ll let you know what I decide.

After reading this message, Wei Yu was about to call back when Matriarch Wei called. Wei Yu frowned and pressed the phone to his ear. “Grandma, what’s the matter?”

Matriarch Wei’s tone was solemn. “Pei Jiao is getting engaged to the eldest son of the Qin family.”

Wei Yu: “Engaged?”

Matriarch Wei couldn’t understand. Didn’t Little Yu say that he could coax her? Why was she getting engaged to the Qin family in the blink of an eye?!

“What’s going on? Why is Pei Jiao getting engaged to the Qin family?” Matriarch Wei asked anxiously.

Wei Yu’s attitude was calm. “What does her engagement have to do with me? Grandma, I’ve already broken off the engagement with her. She has nothing to do with me now.”

When Matriarch Wei heard this, she was instantly exasperated. “Then why did you promise me that you would bring Jiaojiao back? What do you mean by not caring? Could it be that Jiaojiao left that night because of you?” Wei Yu was puzzled.. “Grandma, what are you talking about?”
