Chapter 185 - 185 Han Qianye: I'm Super Happy, Okay!
185 Han Qianye: I’m Super Happy, Okay!
Not all men liked to hear others praise them. He just liked to hear his woman praise himself even more.
The psychological sense of accomplishment and satisfaction was incomparable.
Li Xiwu looked at the endless smile in Pei Jingzhou’s eyes. For some reason, she suddenly thought of something and said, “Fourth Brother, I remember you saying that if I want to ask you anything, you will answer as long as I ask.”
With that, the smile on Pei Jingzhou’s face faded.
Li Xiwu smiled. “Did Fourth Brother go back on his word?”
Pei Jingzhou looked down at her. “What do you want to ask?”
Li Xiwu looked serious. “I was very curious about my past, but because it was all not a good experience, I gradually forgot a lot.”
Pei Jingzhou asked, “So you want to ask about your past?”
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. “I’m someone who lives at the bottom, and Fourth Brother is someone who stands at the top of the pyramid. The difference between heaven and earth is so great that you leave me in the dust. Therefore, before you came into contact with and married me, you must have investigated me in detail. If my identity and background are too complicated, I probably won’t be able to marry into the Pei family.”
She had always been clear about her identity. She had always known the difference in status between him and her. Therefore, even if she got a divorce, she only wanted to get some money to settle down in the future. She had never thought of getting any shocking benefits from Pei Jingzhou.
Pei Jingzhou looked at her quietly.
Li Xiwu avoided his gaze and continued, “Back then, Fourth Brother said that my memory was bad. Now that I think about it, that seems to be the case. Fourth Brother has investigated my background in the past, so you should know my past very well. Therefore, I want to ask Fourth Brother, did you find out that my family came back to look for me?”
She waited for Pei Jingzhou’s answer.
Pei Jingzhou also stared at her for a long time. His thin lips parted slightly. “I’m your family. I found you and brought you home.”
Li Xiwu’s breath caught in her throat. For a few seconds, she felt that there was no illusion in front of her. Pei Jingzhou was not joking or lying to her. A few seconds later, she sobered and smiled. “Fourth Brother, your words don’t count.”
Pei Jingzhou’s thoughtful expression made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Li Xiwu knew that this question would not get the answer she wanted, so she changed the question. “Then is there a connection between Li You and me?”
Pei Jingzhou looked up.
Li Xiwu added in advance, “Apart from the fact that I look like her, I know that. I’m asking if there’s any other connection.”
Pei Jingzhou was silent for a moment before saying, “Your surname is Li.”
Li Xiwu: “…”
Although the answer sounded fine, it wasn’t the answer she’d expected. She couldn’t be bothered to ask anymore. She got up and went out.
Meanwhile, Han Qianye, who had woken up early in the morning to browse Weibo, was almost stunned.
“Xixi is actually that Internet celebrity, Mother Dragon???”
“More than sixteen million fans!”
“I didn’t even know!”
Han Qianye’s shocked voice made it difficult for Pei Jiao to not ignore it.
Pei Jiao bit her lollipop and said, “Mom, it’s normal that you don’t know. You’ve never paid attention to Peripheral Li’s surroundings in the past three years.”
Han Qianye corrected her. “What Peripheral Li? I already said that you have to call her Sister-in-law.”
Pei Jiao said, “Sister-in-law.”
Han Qianye smiled in satisfaction. “Yes, you have to call her Sister-in-law in the future. If I hear you call her Peripheral Li again, I’ll deduct your monthly allowance.”
Pei Jiao suddenly sat up straight. “Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law.”
She practiced repeatedly, afraid that she would shout the wrong word next time.
Han Qianye corrected her again. “You don’t have to do it four times. It sounds too fierce, as if you’re shouting. The first three times are enough.”
Thinking of her pocket money, Pei Jiao smiled. “Okay.”
Han Qianye turned around and quickly opened the short video software. She found Mother Dragon’s account and followed it without hesitation.
At the thought that she was Mother Dragon’s mother-in-law, Han Qianye felt extremely proud.
—Ahhhh, she’s actually the mother-in-law of the Internet celebrity, Mother Dragon!
—I’m super happy, okay!
—I’m happier than I was on our wedding day!
Right! She wanted to take a screenshot and post it on her Moments!!!
Less than two minutes after she finished editing the content and posted it on her WeChat Moments, many rich ladies in the circle of aristocratic families had already liked it. The comments were all flattering words, but Han Qianye was used to hearing flattery.
She felt even better.

At this moment, Qiao Qiao, who was about to go to the airport, was suddenly stopped by a taxi.
The driver had never seen much of a scene. When he realized that his car had been outflanked, he was so frightened that his face turned green and his lips turned pale. In just a few dozen seconds, he recalled everyone he had ever provoked in his life.
Until the Ghost overbearingly stopped in front of him. The driver slammed on the brakes and broke out in a cold sweat. “I-I-I-I-I-I-I have offended some god. Miss, I might not be able to send you. If you’re not afraid, please help me. I’ll call the police later.”
Qiao Qiao, who was sitting in the back seat, stammered even more than the driver. “I-I-I’ll help you call the police. Can-can-can you call the police for me too?”
The driver turned around. “Why are you stuttering?”
Qiao Qiao: “…”
The next second, the car door was pulled open from the outside. A man in a black suit and black sunglasses extended an inviting gesture. “Miss, Third Master invites you.”
Qiao Qiao swallowed and straightened her neck. “It’s fine to invite me. But is there a need to make such a big fuss!”
Scary!
The bodyguard nodded. “Third Master said it was necessary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to invite Miss back.”
When the driver saw that they were coming for the passenger in the back seat, although he was also afraid, he gathered his courage and said, “Young lady, if you’re threatened, blink.”
The bodyguard glanced over coldly. The driver shivered in fear and instinctively raised his hands in surrender. “I didn’t say anything.”
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath.
In the end, she resigned herself to fate and got out of the car.
The bodyguard pointed to the Ghost ahead. “After you, miss.”
Qiao Qiao put her hands on her hips. “Hurry up and pay the fare. I haven’t paid the fare yet.”
The driver quickly said, “No need, no need. Take it as a donation.”
Despite his words, the bodyguard pulled out his phone and reached into the car. “Give me the QR code.”
The driver handed over the QR code with trepidation. After scanning the code and paying, the bodyguard gestured again. Qiao Qiao stood still. “The suitcase is still in the trunk. Help me take it down.”
The bodyguard nodded. “Yes, Miss.”
When the bodyguard went to get the suitcase, Qiao Qiao turned around and ran. However, before she could take more than two steps, the bodyguard returned and grabbed her collar. “Miss, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
Finally, the bodyguard pushed Qiao Qiao’s suitcase with one hand and gripped her arm with the other as he walked her to the Ghost.
The automatic door slowly opened.
The bodyguard leaned over and nodded. “Third Master, Miss is here.”
