Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 155 Cannon Fodder Campus White Moonlight 37

But if their relationship is really special, why did they deny it just now, saying they weren't together?

The people present exchanged gossipy and curious glances.

Pei Mo has always been aloof, so even if people have questions, they don't dare to ask him.

Then someone whispered to Qi Ning, "Do you live with Pei Mo?"

Qi Ning nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I just returned to the country and have nowhere to stay, so I'm temporarily staying at Pei Mo's house."

"So this is ah."

I heard that Qi Ning's mother passed away a long time ago, and her father was killed in a car accident by Han Yuchen five years ago, so she can be said to have no home in Nancheng.

Having not returned to China for five years, and having no relatives or place to live, it's understandable that she would stay at Pei Mo's house. Perhaps Pei Mo took her in temporarily out of pity for Qi Ning and because of their friendship from studying abroad together.

As for dating, it's probably unlikely. The Pei family would never accept an ordinary girl with no parents as their daughter-in-law. Wealthy families always value marriage between people of similar social standing.

Moreover, Qi Ning himself just denied it.

With similar thoughts in mind, everyone put aside their doubts.

Qi Ning's answer was indeed the truth; she and Pei Mo didn't really have any relationship right now, and she was just temporarily staying at his house. But for some reason, Pei Mo found her words rather jarring.

After sending the message, he casually placed the phone on the table in front of him, perhaps forgetting to return it to Qi Ning.

In this way, it would be inconvenient for others to bring up the matter of adding Qi Ning's contact information again.

At this moment, someone asked, "Is everyone here?"

"It seems that Han Yuxin and Wen Xuheng haven't arrived yet."

"Why are they late?"

When Han Yuxin and Wen Xuheng got married, they naturally invited these old classmates who were present.

"Let the deputy squad leader send a message to ask about the situation," someone suggested.

The deputy class monitor did indeed send messages to Han Yuxin and Wen Xuheng to inquire, but neither of them replied.

"Neither of them has replied to the message. Something must have been holding them up. Shall we start?"

The suggestion was met with approval. After all, class reunions are just a way for everyone to get together, drink, chat, sing, and reminisce; it's not a serious occasion.

The private room became even more lively.

Qi Ning and Pei Mo exchanged a glance, their thoughts coinciding.

Since Han Yuxin specially arranged this gathering to see Qi Ning, how could she be late?

Qi Ning quietly asked the system, "System, check what's going on with Han Yuxin and Wen Xuheng."

The system quickly replied: "Host, Han Yuxin learned about your return to China from Wen Xuheng's secretary. Wen Xuheng was unaware of this beforehand."

"Wen Xuheng just found out today that this is the reason, and he also learned that Han Yuxin's real purpose in organizing this gathering was to cause trouble for you, so he wants to stop Han Yuxin from attending."

"Right now, the two of them are arguing at home, and I don't know if they'll be able to come over."

It turned out to be the case.

However, based on Qi Ning's understanding of those two people, she estimated that Wen Xuheng definitely wouldn't be able to stop Han Yuxin, and Han Yuxin would come sooner or later.

With this on his mind, Qi Ning casually picked up the wine glass on the table and took a small sip.

She hadn't even had a proper drink when Pei Mo, who was sitting next to her, whispered to her, "Drink less."

Qi Ning glanced at him, nodded, and put down her wine glass without saying anything.

Pei Mo told Qi Ning to drink less, but he himself didn't drink any less at all.

The main reason was that Qi Ning had a male classmate named Yuan Qin who was quite persistent. He kept talking to her and the two of them were chatting and laughing, which made Pei Mo a little unhappy.

Pei Mo could even hear Yuan Qin saying, "Actually, it's quite inconvenient to stay at someone else's house, Qi Ning, don't you think?"

Qi Ning gave a vague reply.

Seeing that Qi Ning agreed, Yuan Qin became even more enthusiastic: "Then do you want to move out? I can help you find a place."

"Will you help me find a place to live?" Qi Ning asked.

“Yes, my family owns a real estate company. I’m very familiar with the houses in Nancheng. I can find you any kind of property.” Yuan Qin said with a smile, “As an old classmate, I won’t charge you a commission.”

Pei Mo sneered inwardly upon hearing this.

Yuan Qinpei and Mo knew each other somewhat; his family did indeed own a small real estate company, so he could be considered a second-generation rich kid.

However, his family's small company is not considered a large enterprise in Nancheng.

As for his claim of "no agency fee," there's no such thing as a free lunch. If he says he doesn't want an agency fee, then he has ulterior motives, and Qi Ning probably won't agree to it.

To Pei Mo's surprise, Qi Ning actually inquired about houses in the south of the city after listening to Yuan Qin's words.

The two discussed houses in various areas of the southern city, down to the location, whether they were new or used, different types of apartments, and the prices for buying, selling, and renting. It seemed that Qi Ning was really planning to move out.

Pei Mo's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened, but the dim lighting in the private room made it difficult to see clearly.

He was unhappy and drank a little too quickly, but Qi Ning was too busy chatting to notice him.

The girl sitting on his other side noticed it and said in an admiring tone, "Pei Mo, you can really hold your liquor."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning turned around to look at Pei Mo.

She whispered, "You told me to drink less, why did you drink so much? If you get drunk, how am I going to get you home later?"

Someone was singing in the private room, and Qi Ning's voice was so soft that others could hardly hear her.

After Qi Ning finished speaking, she reached out and took the wine glass from Pei Mo's hand and placed it on the table.

Pei Mo's hand was suddenly empty. He glanced at Qi Ning, then leaned back on the sofa without saying a word.

Qi Ning stopped him from drinking. She seemed to want to say something to Pei Mo, but then Yuan Qin handed her a drink.

He said considerately, "Qi Ning, if you don't drink alcohol, then have a soft drink."

"Thank you."

Qi Ning took the drink from Yuan Qin, and the two continued their conversation.

Pei Mo was watching Qi Ning from the side and behind.

He thought to himself that things were indeed quite different abroad and after returning to China.

Previously, when they were abroad, Qi Ning was actually quite dependent on him.

Even though they didn't live together while abroad, they would often visit each other's homes, eat together, watch movies together, and sometimes stay overnight if it got too late.

Even though they weren't in a romantic relationship, Qi Ning seemed to regard him as her only friend or her only support abroad, and she would turn to him immediately if anything happened.
