Chapter 635: Some People Are Pathetic For a Reason

Pei Yao glanced at Little Xiu and realized that her face was extremely pale.

She felt that this woman was simply too submissive.

She didn’t want to care about Little Xiu anymore, but she felt that she was so pitiful.

Sometimes, there was a reason why some people were pathetic.

Ah Ping stared at Pei Yao for a while before a smile suddenly appeared on his face. “Miss Pei, I’m sorry to have disturbed your rest. I’ll be more careful from now on and won’t speak so loudly anymore. However, I want to remind Miss Pei that whatever goes on between me and my wife is our private family matter. Miss Pei doesn’t need to worry for us.”

With that, Ah Ping walked forward and took the bucket from Little Xiu.

Little Xiu didn’t even look at him. She hunched her shoulders and lowered her head, looking uneasy.

“Go ahead and start a fire in the kitchen. I’ll get the water,” Ah Ping said.

As if she had been granted amnesty, Little Xiu hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Pei Yao looked at her retreating back and shook her head helplessly.

Without wasting any more time talking to Ah Ping, she walked towards Chi Jiao.

“Let’s go out for a walk now so that we won’t return late for breakfast.” Pei Yao had the habit of jogging after waking up in the morning. If she didn’t run, she would feel uncomfortable all over.

“Alright, I’ll inform Brother Quan and the rest,” said Chi Jiao.

After greeting Quan Jue and the rest, Chi Jiao left the house with Pei Yao.

It was seven in the morning. The village, which had been silent for the entire night, suddenly seemed to come alive. They could hear the sounds of birds, insects, and the cries of sheep.

Smoke was coming from the chimneys of every household.

Chi Jiao and Pei Yao strolled along a small path in the countryside. Everyone who passed by them would take a few extra glances at them.

In this backward little village, it was very rare to see such beautiful girls with glowing white and tender skin.

They were like shining entities that attracted the attention of others wherever they went.

Not long after Chi Jiao and Pei Yao left the house, one particular onlooker quietly followed them.

“Jiaojiao, do you feel that someone is secretly following us?” Pei Yao looked straight ahead as she whispered.

Chi Jiao replied, “Let’s go to a remote area and lure that person out.”

Pei Yao nodded.

The figure following behind them saw them walking towards a remote area and quickened their pace.

They reached a turn in the pathway.

Chi Jiao and Pei Yao turned into a small alley and stopped in their tracks.

Hearing the hurried footsteps approaching the alley, Pei Yao leaned her back against the wall and held her breath.

The moment the person stepped into the alley, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder, flinging him to the ground with an overhead throw.

Bang!

The person’s body landed heavily on the ground with a dull thud.

A tragic howl sounded out.

Only then did Chi Jiao and Pei Yao see who was following them.

It was an old man!

He was about 60 or 70 years old. The old man’s hair was already white and he was very thin. His face was as sunken as a skull.

Pei Yao didn’t expect that the person following them would be an old man. She looked at Chi Jiao speechlessly.

If she had known that it was an old man following them, she wouldn’t have thrown him so hard.

Would this old man try to swindle them?
