C124 The Attitude of Ice and Fire
"Pei Luoluo, do you think I would waste my time with some scum who I don't even care about? Do you know that I would lose hundreds of millions every minute? If I had that leisure time, I might as well go to Las Vegas and gamble a few times. Also, the reason I helped you is because you can deal with such a small fry. I'll settle the rest for you and clean up your mess." Xiao Yichen's tone was still very indifferent, but Pei Luoluo could tell that he had a different meaning.
That was settled after the matter was settled. He would push her into the fire pit first before looking at the situation to see if he could pull her out!
"First, I don't have any interpersonal relationships. Second, I don't have much capital to tempt Liang Cheng to cooperate with me. It's the same as discussing business. What capital or attractive conditions do the proactive party have to have the qualifications to propose a collaboration? I don't have much to discuss here. " Pei Luoluo frowned deeply and spread her hands towards Xiao Yichen. She indicated that she did not have any bargaining chips to tempt him.
"Yes, Young Grandmother! Your identity! Young Grandmother of the Xiao family, the richest wife. Is this not enough for Liang Cheng to curry favor with you?" Mrs Zhang went forward to inform but saw Pei Luoluo frowning even more deeply and hurriedly waved her hand at her.
"No no no, I was so rash to report to the family first. Perhaps there is still a trace of discussion. If you directly say that I am... Xiao Yichen's wife would definitely drag me out to feed the fish or think that I am sick. They might even crack it." Pei Luoluo still furrowed her brows tightly and analyzed with conviction.
Xiao Yichen did not say anything. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Pei Luoluo.
Mrs Zhang became more and more confused the more she heard. Perhaps her understanding ability had also deteriorated when she was older?
"Young Grandmother, there is still someone who dares to touch the wife of Xiao family. That is also death!"
"Mrs Zhang, first of all, I must think of a way to sneak in and meet Liang Cheng. This was a very difficult problem. If I say that I am Xiao Yichen's wife and lower myself to look for an ordinary person, if it was you, what would you do? In any case, if it was me, in order to prevent any accidents, I would definitely verify it first. But so far, there is no evidence that can prove my identity. Do you think Liang Cheng would be foolish enough to believe the words of a person without any proof? To put it bluntly, even if I get a marriage certificate, people will say that I'm an imitation. " When she said the last sentence, Pei Luoluo actually felt a little sad. This kind of helplessness that came from the bottom of her heart seemed to be self-deprecating. This made Xiao Yichen who did not say anything at the side see it. A wave of shallow ripples unconsciously appeared in the bottom of his heart.
"With me around, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Yichen lit up a cigar and took a deep breath. He exhaled a puff of smoke and continued to speak with the smoke lingering around him, "Pei Luoluo, are you waiting for me to say this?"
It sounded like Pei Luoluo was breathing heavily. She made a 180-degree turn from the front to the back. She felt like she was floating when she heard the words from the front. The words from the back were like a bucket of cold water that poured over her head and made her feel cold all over.
"You can find your subordinate to go offline and recommend him to me. I will think of a way to deal with the rest myself." Pei Luoluo did not deny it, nor was she being hypocritical. If she did not have Xiao Yichen's help in this situation, she would definitely be courting death if she went to look for Liang Cheng.
"What I said will not be repeated. Do you want to go or not?" Xiao Yichen extinguished the cigarette and threw it into the pipe. He stood up and walked out of the door.
Pei Luoluo saw that Xiao Yichen was leaving and was not going upstairs. She subconsciously shouted at him, " Hey, where are you going?"
But Xiao Yichen did not even pause his steps and acted as if he did not hear the sound of the door closing. Only the dumbfounded Pei Luoluo and similarly stunned Mrs Zhang were left.
"If you don't want to help, then so be it. I also want to go to Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild!" Pei Luoluo took a deep breath and angrily left the dining table to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.
Mrs Zhang wanted to help but was persuaded by Pei Luoluo. She said that she wanted to find something to vent her anger on. Mrs Zhang did not stop her and helplessly looked at Uncle Lee who had already walked to the kitchen door with a worried look.
"Let's go. We have not eaten the dumplings that Young Grandmother made." She did not think that she originally wanted to go to Uncle Lee's place to ask for some comfort but in the end, he asked her to cook the dumplings as if nothing had happened.
Soon, Pei Luoluo was the only one left standing at the dining table, holding the bowls and chopsticks in a daze. It was not until she felt that her hands had gone numb that she realized that the bowls in her hands had not been washed yet.
"One day of husband and wife for a hundred days. It is not the end yet. I am not going to help you!" Pei Luoluo could not help but grumble as she cleaned up the remaining dishes on the table. She took the leftover vegetables with meat from the fridge yesterday and chopped them into pieces and put them in a plastic bag.
Seeing Pei Luoluo chopping the meat, Mrs Zhang looked at the meat dregs on the chopping board. She also helped to mix the meat and rice and then put them in the plastic bag. Seeing that Pei Luoluo was almost done tidying up, Mrs Zhang then tentatively asked, "Young Grandmother, are you going out again? Hello... "
Before Mrs Zhang could finish, Pei Luoluo placed her index finger in the middle and made a motionless movement, "Shh, Mrs Zhang, I will be back in a while."
Mrs Zhang who understood instantly also nodded her head in agreement and let her come back earlier. The temperature difference between the two of them was very big and she did not want to catch a cold.
After Mrs Zhang's reminder, Pei Luoluo seemed to have suddenly thought of something and walked back. She pulled Mrs Zhang's arm with a troubled expression, "Mrs Zhang, did someone in our neighborhood commit a crime? Causing the gangs to come and block people every day?"
"What block people from the gangs? Young Grandmother, didn't you see that the policemen at the door were all special forces? Who would dare to run into a gun with their life on the line? They had to come here to torture and interrogate first. Then it would be mental torture. If they really want to die, they won't come here even if they don't have a place to go"
After Mrs Zhang finished speaking, Pei Luoluo's face instantly turned red. She bit her lower lip and her lungs were about to explode from anger.
This Zhao Haoxun actually wanted to play with her. Luckily, she trusted him so much. Pei Luoluo did not even know how to think about what he said. She completely trusted him!
Today, he actually dared to play with her! Pei Luoluo changed into her shoes and weighed the meat in her hand to mix with rice. With her other hand, she flipped open the phone and was about to teach Zhao Haoxun a lesson on the phone. Sorry, today's prank is only hoping that you go back early. There will always be a time when I, Gu Xia, am not here. You should have some self-protection awareness. Just relying on the sense of danger is not enough."
This message came too abruptly, but it extinguished the little flame burning in Pei Luoluo's heart. Her arms wrapped around her slender arm and she fiercely took a deep breath. She clenched the plastic bag in her hand and strode towards the back door of Junyi World.
This community was far from the city and could be considered a small independent county in a paradise. Pei Luoluo walked for more than an hour after walking out of the community. It took a lot of effort to walk around.
