Chapter 1000: 1000
“I’m truly not lying to you . What I said is the truth . I know that you think that he hates me and the one responsible for your mother’s condition, but he truly got my mom out of prison . ”

When she heard this, she kept reminding herself that all her cousin’s words were lies . She was merely lying to her, yet she could not stop her steps from faltering .
This was unrelated to trust but due to her loving Ji Ziming too much, instead .
Hence, even if she knew that all her cousin’s words were lies, she still felt uncomfortable .
What she did not expect, though, was that the latter’s next words would cause her trust in the man to waver .
“I know that you don’t believe that I have the ability to make him help me, but you must know that, although I don’t have that ability, there is someone else who does . ”
Even if she did not turn around, Pei Shishi still knew that the other was affected from the way she halted and stood there, motionless .
“Qiao Jingyun . ” She said this name .
At that instant, when she heard this name, Pei Ge’s heart paused and then accelerated .
“Although I don’t like her, I must admit that her standing in Ji Ziming’s heart is special . For her sake, he can even do something to hurt you, lie to you, and—”
Her cousin was unable to finish her words because she cut her off .

Turning around, she said, “You’re speaking rubbish! He isn’t like that!”
She glared at her cousin furiously, her expression showing the boiling rage in her .
“I’m speaking rubbish? I have evidence . ” Her anger had the effect of calming her cousin .
“Has he been absent from your side recently and even disappeared for some time?”
“…” She froze at this .
Before she could defend him, her expression turned even uglier at Pei Shishi’s next words .
“He probably told you that he has matters to attend at the company, right?”
“…That’s none of your business!”
She pursed her lips and regarded her cousin coldly .
“Yes, that’s indeed none of my business, but I just can’t bear seeing you getting cheated by him any longer,” uttered Pei Shishi slowly . “I used to think that he truly likes you and wants to marry you, but when I went to ask Qiao Jingyun for help yesterday, I found out that you are only a shield he got for her . ”

“What do you mean?!”
Her palms balled up into fists . A rational part of her was saying that she should stop listening to this and leave right now .
Alas, her emotions stopped her feet from moving, making her unable to take even one step out of this place as she stared fixedly at her cousin .
“Ji Ziming isn’t on a business trip . He’s just been with Qiao Jingyun lately . ”
Within the grand living room, the warm rays of the sun streamed in through the windows .
However, these sunbeams did not provide her with warmth .
Rather, her heart turned icy .
The ice in her heart could not be thawed, making her heart turn colder by the second…
“If you don’t believe me, you can give him a call now . ”
Her cousin’s eyes shone with confusion at her stony expression, thinking that she did not believe her .

“Why…” she quietly mumbled .
“What ‘why’?”
This made her cousin inquire in confusion .
“Why is he with her?”
She stared at her cousin with cold and blank eyes . Her face held no excess expression .
All her face wore was iciness and despair .
Pei Shishi felt goosebumps rise from her heart from this gaze .
“O-Of course, it’s…” The cold goosebumps she felt caused her to tremble . “It’s because Qiao Jingyun is pregnant!”
This revelation should have been shocking, yet Pei Ge did not show the expected reaction .
It was as though her words and those people had nothing to do with the other .
Her lack of response caused Pei Shishi to frown . Thinking that she did not believe her, she continued explaining in detail .
“She’s pregnant, and the child is Ji Ziming’s . As her pregnancy is still in its early stages, they keep making trips at the hospital recently . ”
This time, her statement was no longer just shocking—it was explosive!
Alas, the other still did not give any excessive reaction .
“Why aren’t you saying anything?! Do you still think that I’m lying to you?! If you don’t believe me, I can bring you to the hospital that woman is in right now!”
The other’s lack of response caused her to panic .
At this moment, Pei Ge finally spoke again . “You’ve hated me for a long time . You even resent me . Now that he has abandoned and betrayed me, why are you panicking?”
She chuckled and kept looking at her cousin expressionlessly .
This caused the latter’s expression to falter, but she soon schooled her expression to normalcy .
“Yes, you are right . I do hate you . I’m telling you this not because I truly pity you but merely to see you in pain and suffering . Unexpectedly…” She nudged her lips in disappointment . “You actually didn’t show any reaction . What a disappointment!”
Pei Ge coldly smirked at this .
“Heh… My apologies for disappointing you, then .
