Chapter 437
After making sure that the 500,000-yuan compensation would go to that gastric-cancer patient who shared her mother’s name, she subsequently left the hospital .

Her footsteps felt much lighter once she exited the place; it was as though all the accumulated negative energy in her body had been thoroughly purged .
She lifted her head to look at the pale blue sky and moving clouds, and a resplendent smile blossomed on her face involuntarily .
“How great!”
Dad, mom and I are very healthy, so don’t worry about us anymore up there!
She silently prayed to her father with a smile on her face .
She was about to zone out from watching the sky, but the phone in her bag rang at this moment .
She pulled her thoughts back and retrieved her phone .
Seeing that the caller was that annoying fellow, her mood instantly plummeted .
What is that annoying fellow calling me for?
She picked up the call, feeling confused .
“Hello, CEO Ji . ”

“… Ziming . ” The man’s low and cold voice came through the phone .
“Ah, Ziming . Is something the matter?” Correcting herself, she inquired about the reason for the call .
“Go to Lily’s now,” he merely ordered .
“Huh? Lily’s? Why?” she asked, perplexed .
“Did you forget about the dinner banquet we are scheduled to attend tonight?” The man was obviously displeased .
“I didn’t forget…” At this point, she finally figured what the man was getting at .
This annoying fellow wants me to drop by Lily’s place to get a makeover, huh . He should’ve just been direct about it from the star t, s he mumbled inwardly .
“I understand, Ziming . I’ll go to Lily’s for a makeover,” she said .
“Mhm . Where are you now? I’ll have someone pick you up,” he asked in his ever-apathetic voice .
“No need; no need . I know where the salon is . I’ll go there on my own . ” She hung up quickly after saying this and boarded a taxi .
Meanwhile, the man on the other end heard his phone’s busy tone and his face immediately crumpled .

Toot, toot, toot! The man’s forehead scrunched up tightly at the series of beeping sounds coming from his phone .
That d*mn, stupid woman! I’m not done speaking yet! She actually had the nerve to hang up on me first!
“Miss, we are here . ”
She hopped out of the cab after paying the fare .
She peered at the high-end salon and walked in with a smile .
As this was not her first time coming into this salon and, in both times, she had been accompanied by Ji Ziming, the two beautiful receptionists immediately recognized her .
“Miss Pei, is CEO Ji not with you today?”
“Miss Pei, Sister Lily has been waiting for you!”
Pei Ge was a little overwhelmed by their attention, especially when the two receptionists looped their arms around her to guide her in .
Following them in, she quickly reached the room she had her makeover done by Lily twice before .

The room’s layout was still the same as ever . Nothing changed, except for the clothes and shoes inside .
“Ge Ge, you’re here . ” Lily was inside a contemporary studio . When he saw her walk in, he promptly got up from his chair, but seeing the clothes she was wearing, he frowned disapprovingly .
“What are you wearing?! What did I tell you in my texts every day?!” He stopped in front of her with an exasperated look .
Pursing her lips, she met his furious glare with diffident eyes .
“Sorry about that, Lily . ”
Lily seemed quite fond of her, as no matter how busy he was, he made it a point to send her messages every day about some fashion tips .
But ever since her mother was misdiagnosed, she had been too occupied to read his messages .
“Pei Ge, if you just told me that you are not interested in fashion, I wouldn’t send you all that boring stuff every day . ” Lily unhappily tut-tutted .
He was a highly acclaimed stylist in the fashion industry . Anyone that was in the field would have to call him ‘teacher’ .
There were many who wanted to be his disciple – to learn the craft from him – yet she was on a whole new level . He put all his heart into teaching her, but she apparently did not appreciate it . How could he not be disappointed?!
Noting his disappointment, she explained apologetically, “Lily, I’m so sorry . You misunderstood . It’s not that I’m not interested; I was just quite preoccupied with my mom’s condition, so I didn’t get the chance to study the learning materials you had sent over…”
Lily’s mood considerably improved at her explanation .
“Hng!” he grudgingly acknowledged .
“Sorry, Lily . I’m in the wrong, so don’t be angry anymore . I’ll definitely properly study the stuff you sent me from here on!” She appealed to his kinder side by tugging at his sleeve .
She was not a thankless person, and knowing that he had been teaching her sincerely, she honestly wanted him to forgive her .
“Alright . Since you are apologizing this sincerely, I will forgive you this one time . ” He poked her forehead lightly with his lotus finger .
A joyful smile spread across her lips at his forgiveness, but before it could linger for a bit longer, he continued .
“I’ll forgive you… but only under one condition!” He winked at her cunningly .
“Huh? Co-Condition? What condition?” A sense of foreboding gripped her heart .
“About that… Of course, it will be…” He chuckled sinisterly .
Noting his scheming smile, she carefully retreated a few steps .
“Today, you’ll follow my instructions obediently! You must accept whatever style I give you without complaints!”
