“Of course, it is as such . ”
Liu Yue was elated when Pei Ge finally showed a reaction .
The latter had not revealed any sort of emotion since she walked into the coffee shop .
No matter what spiteful words she said, Pei Ge remained calm, and it made her feel as if she were a jumping clown .
“Why would I lie to you? Your cousin wanted to deal with you, and I was merely convinced by her into lending a helping hand . ” Liu Yue excitedly stretched out her neck to look at Pei Ge in hopes of seeing the hurt that was surely on the latter’s face by now .
After a while, Pei Ge finally lifted her head .
Her face was unexpectedly devoid of hurt or anger . Instead, it held indifference .
“Don’t tell me you don’t believe my words?” she asked . She firmly bit her lower lip as her eyes flashed with disappointment at Pei Ge’s lackadaisical expression .
“Of course,” her lips curled, and, amid Liu Yue’s anticipation, she coldly said, “I don’t believe you . ”
“You actually don’t believe me?!” Liu Yue exclaimed in disbelief .
Her agitated exclamation attracted the attention of the shop’s other patrons .
“Indeed, you are quite dumb . ” Recovering herself, Liu Yue lowered her voice and mockingly said this to Pei Ge .
Pei Ge laughed the moment she heard her say that .
“Liu Yue, you think you are smart? If you are, then how did you end up like this today? Are you under the impression that I’m gullible enough to believe a liar like you again?” Once she was done asking this, the smile on her face vanished and in its place was a steely look .
“What do you mean? What lies have I spoken?” Liu Yue nervously moistened her lips .
“You said that my cousin had sought you first . He he! Do you really think that’s possible? You were invisible in middle school; how could my cousin remember a small fry like you and take the initiative to find you?” She placed the cup in her hand down and gave the other a mocking look .
Liu Yue paled at her words .
Yes, she had lied . It was her who had looked for Pei Shishi first .
She could tell that there was a slight friction between the two cousins that one time she and Pei Ge bumped into Pei Shishi and Zhou Zhuoyang at the Chanel store .
Taking her chance, she went to find Pei Shishi and learned that… the latter also passionately hated Pei Ge .
Pei Ge knew that she had guessed correctly from Liu Yue’s expression .
“Miss Liu, I’ve asked all my questions, so I’ll take my leave now . ” Pei Ge stood up and smiled at her .
Whatever she needed to ask, she finished asking, and whatever she wanted to know, she actually already knew .
She no longer had to waste her time accompanying such a person .
Liu Yue stared dazedly at Pei Ge once the latter declared her intention to leave .
She had neither asked her anything else nor shared any information with her . She wanted to leave just like that?
“Oh, and don’t worry; I will pay for this table of food . ” Pei Ge smiled lightly and then turned to leave .
“Pei Ge!” Liu Yue yelled when she saw her head for the exit .
Pei Ge stopped walking and turned to indifferently look at her . “What’s the matter? Do you have something to say, Miss Liu?”
“Don’t you want to know why I am against you?!” Liu Yue demanded .
Pei Ge looked at her curiously, clearly not expecting for her to ask such a question .
“I don’t want to know, and there is no need to know . ” Her lips curled slightly . “You are just a stranger whom I won’t ever see again . Why do I need to know things that are of no concern to me?”
Her words were like a sharp sword, and they deeply pierced Liu Yue’s heart, causing the blood on her face to drain .
“‘Things that are of no concern’…” Liu Yue lightly muttered and then dismissed it . “Ha ha ha! You are always like that! Acting high and mighty, you really haven’t changed at all!”
“…” Pei Ge frowned at her words, completely unaware of what she was talking about .
“Back in middle school, everyone, including me, thought that you are kind . Why didn’t you stop them from bullying me if you are really kind?! Why did you make me believe that I am beautiful?!” Liu Yue’s eyes were red as she yelled these words .
‘Who says that we all have to be the same? My father said that personality decides everything . Liu Yue, you must be bolder next time . ’
‘B – But I feel that we are too different; you are very beautiful pretty, while I… am very ugly . ’
‘You’re ugly? I don’t think so! You’re actually very cute!’
‘Really?’
‘Yes! Your face is as round as a big apple and your eyes are expressive! Very cute!’
“Pei Ge, you did that on purpose! You convinced me to retaliate and lied about my appearance; in fact, you just wanted to see me embarrass myself!” Liu Yue spoke in a voice dripping with so much loathing .
Pei Ge was amused by the whole situation .
She really did not expect that her goodwill would be seen in such a bad light by the other party .
I wanted to embarrass her? I did it on purpose? He he! This is truly a case of a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not knowing its fortune…
Pak, pak, pak, pak! A resounding clap echoed about as Pei Ge was looking speechlessly at Liu Yue .
“I’ve finally seen what the paranoia of a victim looks like today . ” A cold yet magnetic male voice rang out .
Pei Ge looked curiously over her shoulder at this familiar-sounding voice . In that moment, she was stunned at the sight of the man walking toward her .
“What are you doing here?” She was surprised because the approaching person was not just anyone but her currently confirmed… fake boyfriend, Wen Qimo .
“Ge Ge, what a coincidence to meet you here; we really are fated . ” The corners of Wen Qimo’s mouth curled into a warm smile .
“It is indeed coincidental . ” Her mouth twitched at this wry event . She really did not expect to encounter Wen Qimo here and did not think he would witness such a ridiculous scene .
However… Why was this man here?
