Chapter 20 Another One

Look at her, she's so thin she's practically skin and bones. In her original world, she was a slender beauty, but here she's just a frail, paper-thin person who couldn't withstand a single punch from Huang Caicai.

"You want to fight me one-on-one?"

"That's right! He raised his thick arm, and whoever wins gets to keep Brother Pei! Do you dare to bet?"

Xiao Jingxuan, frightened, tugged at Qi Yunran's sleeve and pointed at Huang Caicai: "You're bullying me."

Huang Caicai ignored Xiao Jingxuan and proudly raised her arm, declaring that Brother Pei was hers.

Qi Yunran was speechless: "I refuse!"

"What? Are you a sore loser? How about I become Brother Pei's concubine?" he asked tentatively.

Qi Yunran immediately looked at her directly: "You're actually quite cute. If you go find your Brother Pei now, he might like you. If you go too late, someone else might beat you to it."

Huang Caicai immediately thanked Qi Yunran and ran away!
Qi Yunran was certain that Huang Caicai was a simple-minded, chubby girl, but why were these women so strange?

She's already been kicked out of the Pei family, so why would they think she's a threat to them?

You know what, Pei Yuanjun is really popular. Two girls came in less than half an hour.

After waiting all morning without seeing Pei Yuanjun, Qi Yunran and Xiao Jingxuan were getting hungry.

I went back inside and started making lunch; there was still some meat left over from yesterday's purchase.

I washed the meat and then chopped the mushrooms, preparing to make a stir-fried mushroom and meat dish.

Meanwhile, I cooked rice and started simmering the bone broth.

The aroma wafted out in no time.

Xiao Jingxuan swallowed hard; he felt that his godmother's cooking was getting better and better.

Qi Yunran hadn't had such a delicious stir-fry in a long time, and she was getting a little hungry. Just as she put the bowl on the table, the door outside was banged on loudly!
Qi Yunran swallowed the food in her mouth, was stunned for a second, and paused in her action of picking up food with her chopsticks.

Little Jingxuan also lifted her head from the rice bowl and pricked up her ears to listen to the sounds outside.

They really know how to pick their time. Why didn't they wait until she finished eating before coming?
Reluctantly opening the door, she thought it must be Pei Yuanjun this time!
Unexpectedly, another woman, Pei Xiaoya, arrived.

Qi Yunran raised an eyebrow: "You're here to be Pei Yuanjun's concubine too?"

Pei Xiaoya was somewhat surprised and said softly, "No!"

Qi Yunran breathed a sigh of relief; her family had nothing to borrow. Looking at the food on the table, Xiao Jingxuan reluctantly put down her chopsticks, ran behind Qi Yunran, and curiously peeked out from behind her, scrutinizing Pei Xiaoya.

"If there's nothing else, I'm going to eat now. Goodbye."

Pei Xiaoya smelled the aroma in the air. Why did she smell the aroma of stir-fried meat?

It must have been Pei who bought it for her; even her mother wouldn't buy it for her! Pei is so good to her!

For no apparent reason, Qi Yunran saw envy, jealousy, and hatred in this girl's eyes.

Qi Yunran ignored her and prepared to close the door and eat.

"Wait!"

Just then, Pei Xiaoya reached her hand through the crack in the door. If Qi Yunran hadn't pulled her hand back quickly, her hand would have been caught in the door.

"What are you doing? I almost pinched your hand. Are you trying to scam me at my house?"

Then he opened the door and said, "Look for yourself, we're so poor we can only afford to eat dirt!"

At first glance, the room was empty; apart from being neat and clean, there was nothing else in it.

It's not even as good as Pei Xiaoya's own home!

"But isn't there stir-fried meat on your table?"

Xiao Jingxuan immediately ran inside, took the stir-fried meat away, and hid it.

Qi Yunran wanted to give him a thumbs up for his cleverness.

There were only two bowls of white rice and a large bowl of white broth made from pork bones left on the table.

Pei Xiaoya walked to the table and looked at the bone broth on it.

She smelled the aroma and wanted to eat it!
Xiao Jingxuan immediately sipped the soup around the rim of the bowl.

Pei Xiaoya immediately showed a look of disgust.
