"What are you waiting for me to do?"

"Let's go home together."

"I'll take you back."

The two of them spoke at the same time again, and Pei Yao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "When did you two have such a tacit understanding?"

"Who has a tacit understanding with him?"

Saying these words at the same time again, Pei Yao's eyes became even stranger.

"You two won't..."

"Yaoyao, I'm hungry, are you hungry?"

Rong Li interrupted her with quick eyes and hands. According to her expression, he didn't know how to say something shocking later.

"I'm not hungry."

Pei Yao glanced at him and said nothing else, just turned around and walked out.

Rong Li and Zeng Ye followed her step by step.

"Then let's go home."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Ye beside him was not far behind.

"Yao Yao, I will take you home."

"Don't bother Brother Zeng Ye. Rong Li and I have to go back to the house we live in together. It's hard to get there. But thank you for visiting grandma today."

"It's okay." Zeng Ye was not unhappy because of her rejection. Instead, he smiled and said, "I happen to have time, so I'll come over and have a look. If grandma needs any help, please contact me. I'll help you get in touch.

Doctors from abroad will see if they can help my grandma get better."

Zeng Ye said it tactfully enough, but Pei Yao knew what he meant. He actually wanted to see if he could prolong grandma's life.

"Okay, if I'm sorry to trouble you, let's go first."

After saying that, she nodded to Zeng Ye, then turned and left. Rong Li also gave Zeng Ye a look of victory and followed behind Pei Yao.

After getting in the car, Pei Yao looked at him in confusion.

"What are you and Brother Zeng Ye arguing about?"

"What are you arguing about?" Rong Li was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Pei Yao said.

"I know Brother Zeng Ye likes me, but your behavior just now seemed like you were jealous of him."

These words seemed to tap a certain acupuncture point on Rong Li's body, and he immediately raised his voice, looking in disbelief.

"What are you talking about? How can I like you? How can you be so narcissistic as a girl?"

"You really don't like me?"

Pei Yao didn't believe him, and Rong Li's current reaction was a bit too strong.

"Of course I don't like you." His voice was still loud, "I don't like you. I like women with big breasts and open butts."

As he spoke later, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes turned to the left and looked out the car window.

But Pei Yao seemed to believe what he said, and his tone suddenly became relaxed.

"That's good, you'd better not like me."

"Why?"

"Because it will be very troublesome when the divorce comes, so it is best not to have any emotional involvement between us, as long as we complete what we promised each other."

After saying that, she turned to look at Rong Li.

"So, if you don't like me, I won't like you either."

"Don't worry, I told you that you are not my type."

After the words fell, the car started, but the car became quiet. Neither of them spoke during the whole journey. They arrived at home quietly, and Rong Li just went back to his room.

Pei Yao didn't pay attention to this difference in him. Too many things happened today, and she needed to digest them now.

But she didn't expect that Pei Xiaoxia didn't give up. Even though Pei Yao had said that when they met that day, she could still pretend that nothing happened and called her.

She was even able to find where Pei Yao worked.

After work that day, as soon as she walked out of the funeral home, Pei Yao saw Pei Xiaoxia standing there. She was about to turn around and go back, but Pei Xiaoxia ran directly over and held her hand.

"Pei Yao, let's talk."

"You and I probably have nothing to talk about."

She withdrew her hand and looked at the person in front of her coldly.

"I can go with you to see your grandma now."

Pei Xiaoxia's tone was completely different from the previous few days. Recently, the old man had become increasingly impatient with her because she could not give birth to a child. She urgently needed to find someone to help stabilize her position.

And the only one she can choose now is Pei Yao.

Pei Yao is young and beautiful, and is the type that any man would like. As long as she can give birth to a child for herself, her status will be stable, and she can get a large sum of money, enough to provide her with food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Worry-free money.

But she couldn't understand why Pei Yao didn't agree.

It was obvious that she wanted something from him, but she didn't do it even after he asked her. But in order to get her to help him, she had no choice but to come and beg him.

"Then what?" Pei Yao was not shaken at all by her words.

"As long as you come with me to meet my husband and talk about it among yourselves, he will give you much more than what I give you, Pei Yao, and it will be enough for you to not have to work hard in your life."

After the words fell, she saw Pei Yao smile and said, "Then what? After meeting me once, lock me there and wait until I obey and agree to give birth to a child for you before you release me, right?"

Pei Xiaoxia did have such an idea. She believed that as long as the rice was cooked, there was nothing she could do no matter how much Pei Yao didn't want to. But when she expressed her thoughts so frankly, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I told you that I will not agree to this, and neither will grandma. Although she misses you, if she knew that you asked me to do such a thing, she would never recognize you as her daughter again. Moreover,

I don’t want you to see grandma now. Just be the willful daughter in grandma’s heart. At least you’re not a bad person and she won’t be sad.”

After saying that, Pei Yao turned around and left, ignoring the gaze behind him that kept falling on him.

Instead of going back to the house where she lived with Rong Li, she returned to her own home and walked into her grandmother's room.

Grandma has always kept some old photos from the past. She took down the wooden box that grandma had always cherished from the cabinet. When she opened it, there were photo albums inside.

The photos are all in black and white and look very chronological. They contain photos of my parents and aunt.

She flipped through them one by one and finally stopped at a single photo of Pei Xiaoxia.

The person in the photo looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an innocent smile on his face, which is completely different from what he looks like now.

Pei Yao looked at the photos quietly for a long time before putting them away. Just when she was about to leave, Zeng Shuang's call came in.

After answering, there was a burst of anxious and angry voices.
