Qiao Rui listened calmly, her brows unfazed, her eyes even more waveless, she simply asked, "I wonder what reaction Elder Qiao hopes to see from me?"
"Wake up, girl." In Elder Pei's eyes, Qiao Rui was merely pretending to be calm. "He doesn't like you, and even if you married him, life in Pei Family would be tough. Why bother?"
"Comparing what you've told me today with the stuff from yesterday's banquet, it's really making a mountain out of a molehill." Qiao Rui chuckled lightly. "To be honest, it's quite boring."
"Boring?" Elder Pei slightly raised his eyebrows.
Qiao Rui plainly said, "Didn't you hear the melancholy in your grandson's last words?"
"Oh?" Elder Pei revealed a meaningful smile. "How so?"
"What you told me today says a lot about a person." Qiao Rui stated.
Elder Pei frowned again. "Character? It seems you have quite the opinion about my character."
