Pei Family secret room.
Before Qiao Rui even opened her eyes, she heard a knocking sound from the next room, assuming it was Pei Jibai.
Qiao Rui remained silent.
Pei Jibai's muffled voice came through, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"
He was apologizing.
Qiao Rui had no choice but to respond, "You don't need to apologize. You apologized last night already, and this matter has nothing to do with you."
"I meant well but did wrong," Pei Jibai said again.
"Clear conscience," Qiao Rui replied.
"I wonder what my grandma will do next?" Pei Jibai was increasingly disillusioned, disappointed in the Pei Family, in his grandma, in his grandpa, and even more so in his elder brother.
"That's just the way it is," Qiao Rui said indifferently.
They even resorted to such tricks, but it turned out like this.
Qiao Rui's patience had almost worn thin. With a three-day ultimatum, she'd leave by one o'clock this afternoon if the old lady didn't open the door with no new tricks.
