Qiao Rui felt that Pei Liyan was doing it on purpose.
He pushed the responsibility onto her, just wanting to see her embarrass herself in front of the Qiao Family.
If the Elder knew it was her who had said to not let Pei Liyan finance the Qiao Family, he would have been furious enough to kill her.
He just wanted to see her unlucky, to appease his unbalanced heart from having married her, an ugly girl.
Indeed, Pei Liyan was not a good person.
But on second thought, Qiao Rui also felt that since she had said it, it was reasonable for others to take her words and use them against her.
He had to find a reason, otherwise, wouldn't he be the one who offended others.
Seemingly, that wouldn't benefit him either.
That he had come over to discuss with her already was quite rare.
She hadn't expected him to treat her well anyway.
Seeing the changes in Qiao Rui's expression, from initial astonishment, anger, reluctance, to eventual resignation, slowly calming down.
