Chapter 132: When the Heart Turns Cold, Affection Fades Away

Qiao Rui looked up toward the doorway, Elder Madam Pei's words piercing her ears with such sharpness, they almost felt like an insult.

Despite such remarks, Qiao Rui did not get angry but instead calmly looked toward the doorway.

"Elder Madam, staying up late and painstakingly coming here to catch cheaters must be tiring indeed."

She spoke calmly, politely yet firmly, unhurriedly as if not at all frightened.

Her demeanor actually carried an air of unspoken authority that made it hard for others to look her directly in the eyes.

Pei Jibai was likewise taken aback, scared by the Old Madam.

He looked at her in astonishment and retorted, "Grandmother, why are you not sleeping and instead come to this secret room so late at night?"

As soon as he said that, Elder Madam Pei snorted coldly, her grandson indeed was not as sharp as Qiao Rui!

But her purpose was to embarrass Qiao Rui.

Naturally, she would not miss this opportunity.
