The more Pei Ge ate, the less appetite she had . Every dish was her favorite and suited her taste .
However…
“I’m full . Mr . Ji, you and your girlfriend can continue eating; I’ll take my leave now . ”
She put down her chopsticks and smiled at the couple politely .
“Ah? Boss, you’re full? I didn’t see you eating a lot, though . ”
“Yes, I’m full . Thanks for hosting me . ”
She smiled and stood up .
Not wanting to waste her breath this time, she moved to leave .
Ji Ziming did not stop her and, instead, stood up as well .
“I’ll send you off . ”
“You don’t have to . Just accompany your girlfriend here,” she rejected, not wanting to interact with him further .
“Never mind; never mind . I don’t need company . Ziming, you can go send my boss off . ”
The other woman waved them off with a friendly grin .
The doubt in her heart heightened when she saw this familiar smile .
Not only just their looks, even… their expressions and actions were identical . This was way too strange .
No matter how unwilling she was to be with this man, she could only sit in his car eventually .
“Where have you been recently?”
The man was finally more ‘normal’ once there were just the two of them . At the very least, he was not as aloof to her as before .
“My matters seem not to have anything to do with Mr . Ji, though?”
Pei Ge merely smiled and did not intend to give an answer .
Being given the cold shoulder by her, the man became much colder .
Nevertheless, she was not one to be cowed so easily . After being around those big bosses with big attitudes on Wall Street for years, she was no longer easily intimidated .
“She’ll arrive at your place on time tomorrow for work . ”
Following the silence between them, the man spoke to her again .
Although he did not mention the other woman’s name, she knew who he was referring to .
“Sorry, but if she comes for work tomorrow, she’ll definitely be barred entry by the security . I trust that you won’t want your girlfriend to be embarrassed like that . ”
Pei Ge smiled coldly . She did not sound to be joking .
Seeing his silence, she felt disinterested .
She turned to look coldly at him, saying, “Mr . Ji, I just don’t get it; why must you arrange for her to work by my side? Minghao doesn’t have anything that you may want . ”
“…” The man merely kept his mum, his dark eyes darkening .
He stared at her until she started feeling uncomfortable before he looked away .
“Shouldn’t this question be for you?”
Didn’t you plant that woman by my side?
“For me? What for me?”
She was thrown into confusion by his words . She frowned and thought that they sounded strange .
However, the man stopped talking after saying that . Instead, he sat there in silence and did not look at her again .
Therefore, regardless of her many questions inside, she did not ask them aloud after seeing his cold face .
They remained quiet all the whole way .
They had no interaction whatsoever except when they reached her apartment and she got out of his car .
“Thanks for the meal and the ride . Goodbye . ”
“…Goodbye . ”
Seeing the woman enter her apartment without looking back, Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes with coldness nearly overflowing from them .
“Pei Ge…”
If you intend to play this game, I can be patient and accompany you, but remember that… my patience is limited .
Only after she had entered her house did she relax .
She removed her clothes and headed to the bathroom for a shower before putting on her pajamas and lying in her comfortable bed .
She got anxious as she recalled how things had unfolded ever since she returned from overseas .
Besides the appearance of a person who looked like her past self, the man’s attitude toward her was strange .
“Sigh!”
Just thinking about it made her head hurt; hence, she sighed and stared at the ceiling blankly .
“I’d better settle my uncle’s family and head back to New York as soon as possible…”
She seemed to have renewed her resolve at this thought .
Still… Now was not the time to be in a rush .
Her mood had improved at this point .
Sitting up on the bed, she turned on her expensive laptop and began surfing the forums .
She easily saw a thread at the top of a forum page .
[The Reason behind Pei Family Real Estate’s Chief’s Compassion]
Seeing this thread, a bright smile surfaced on her face .
Tsk! Cousin’s tactics are still the same as five years ago .
She recalled how Pei Shishi had started that rumor about her five years ago .
Today, she still chose the same method to deal with her biological father .
Of course, this time around, her cousin was not starting a rumor and was, instead, revealing the truth .
From the thread, she raised her brow when she read about all her uncle’s dirty deeds, which his daughter had revealed .
There was one thing her cousin kept hidden, and that was how her uncle had killed her father back then…
Hah . Seems that the fire isn’t raging enough…
Maybe it’s time for me to add oil to the fire .
If not, cousin wouldn’t be so desperate to pull uncle into the abyss with her .
The moment she thought of this, her eyes brightened up .
Uncle, everything you took from my father, I would get them back one by one…
That’s why you should cherish the limited happiness you have left…
