Pei Ge got into a taxi and quickly reached the agreed-upon meeting place with Qin Qitong .
Once she paid the fare, she alighted from it . Looking up at building she was supposed to meet the girl, she involuntarily gulped .
I . D . High Class Recreational Club . Although this was her first time coming here, she knew, just by this place’s name, that it was not for any people .
Besides the people’s comments about it online, from this building’s exterior alone, one could tell that it was not a place that the poor could enter .
She raised her head to look at the tinted windowpanes of the building . As she noted its contemporary look, she became more aware of the gap between her and Ji Ziming .
As she was looking sillily at the building from the outside, her phone suddenly rang .
She gathered her thoughts and fished out the phone from her bag . Seeing that the caller was the girl, she quickly answered it .
“Hello, Qitong . ”
“Sister Pei Ge!” The girl’s ever-spirited voice came through the phone .
“Auntie and I are already here! You can drop by whenever you’re free . Right! I’ll give you a heads-up! The desserts here aren’t really special, but the other delicacies are okay!”
“…” She was a little stunned at the other’s excited chattering .

The hell?!
She held her phone and blinked .
She thought she was early, so she was planning to pass the time at a café, but who knew… that the two women would be earlier than her?!
She deeply inhaled to calm her nerves and then told the girl, “Qitong, I am already here . Where are you two seated?”
“What?!” In the girl’s surprise, she shrieked shrilly . “Sister Pei Ge! You are already at the club?!”
“Yeah . ” She laughed and shifted the phone away from her ear .
“Ha ha! That’s great! I’ll go down to fetch you now!” the girl said excitedly .
“Mhm-kay . ” She laughed in amusement at the girl’s antics . This Qitong is really treating herself as a matchmaker .
She’s even taking part in this meetup with the man’s parents .
Still, it’s good, too . I’d feel awkward if I were by myself .
As she waited for the girl to fetch her from outside the club entrance, the two people inside were excitedly chattering .

“Qitong, is my son’s girlfriend already here? She’s downstairs right now?” Mother Ji’s eyes was shining brightly as she watched her niece hang up the call .
Vigorously nodding, her niece smiled equally brightly at her . “That’s right! Sister Pei Ge is already here!”
“Aiya! Luckily, we came here early . If not…” she said with exasperation .
“He he . Auntie, I told you my Sister Pei Ge is a nice person! Look at how much she values you! We clearly arranged to meet at noon, yet its only slightly past nine, and she’s already here!” The girl put her all into boosting Pei Ge’s image to her cousin’s mother .
Her cousin’s mother did not doubt her words at all . “Mhm . That lass isn’t bad!”
He he! Sister Pei Ge, don’t thank me too much for speaking up for you!
She grinned from ear to ear when she saw how satisfied her aunt was of Pei Ge .
In the end, when Mother Ji saw her happily smiling there, she rushed to prompt her .
“Qitong, why are you just smiling there? That lass downstairs is still waiting for you to fetch her! Quickly go!”
She pouted at her auntie’s prompting . “Aunt doesn’t have me in her mind now that she has a daughter-in-law!”
Although she was complaining like this externally, she was, in fact, extremely happy internally .

Aiya . Looks like my auntie likes Sister Pei Ge a lot! He he! That’s great!
“All right, all right . I only said that that, and you’re already jealous . Hurry on!” Mother Ji shook her head in resignation at her niece’s wide smile .
Hence, under her aunt’s pushing, she happily took the elevator down to fetch Pei Ge .
When she stepped out of the club, she immediately spotted her Sister Pei Ge’s figure .
“Sister Pei Ge!” she called out, waving her hands happily .
Pei Ge turned around and spotted the girl who had stepped out of the club .
“Qitong . ” She smiled and waved her hand in return .
“He he! Let’s go, Sister Pei Ge! My aunt’s been rushing me so much because she wants to meet her ‘daughter-in-law’ earlier!” The girl led her in as she teased her .
She rolled her eyes at that .
“What nonsense are you spouting?”
What daughter-in-law . Seriously .
“All right, all right! We should go in! Let’s not make my aunt wait anymore, or she’ll run down here herself . ” The girl noted her eye-roll with a smile and dragged her in by linking their arms .
Once she was inside the club, she felt more distinctly the difference between her and his station in life .
The clearer she noted this fact, the sadder she felt inside .
Ding!
The elevator doors parted open, and she stepped out of it with the girl .
However, the moment she exited the lift, she felt something amiss .
“Ha ha! Sister Pei Ge, this elevator brings you straight into my aunt’s house . This whole floor is owned by her!” Seeing her confusion, the girl provided her an explanation .
“Ah . No wonder . ” She nodded in understanding . It was no wonder that she found the elevator to be the same as the one in the man’s apartment .
The fact that a grand room was waiting for anyone who would step out of the elevator caused her to be momentarily dumbfounded .
However, thinking it through, she now knew why this recreational club was a skyscraper!
If every level belonged only to one person, then there were really too few members living here! It was no wonder this place was a legend online!
“Qitong, is Ge Ge here already?”
While she was still lost in her thoughts from observing the surroundings, she heard a gentle female voice that was a little familiar yet foreign to her .
