She moved to speak, but his words stunned her .
“Something happened to Qitong? What happened to her?” she asked nervously .
“I don’t know it exactly . I called my parents, and they said that it involves a woman . Still, this time, that lass did get into trouble . ” He solemnly told her .
“What trouble did she get into?” She frowned, feeling worried .
“They said that she had pushed a woman down the stairs, so she was currently locked at home by her father . ”
“Pushed down the stairs?! Qitong would never do that! There must be a misunderstanding here!”
She defended her at once .
“I don’t know much about this, too…” Seeing her become agitated, he consoled her . “Don’t be anxious . She’s fine . ”
“Mhm…” She felt a little relieved at his consolation .
Recalling her earlier bad treatment of him, she felt even more embarrassed .
She realized that she had truly become too pampered and unreasonable . When she did not know that he liked her, she never dared to treat him like that .
However, after his confession, she got a big head . It really was…

“Ziming… earlier… my words were too harsh . I’m sorry…” she apologized sincerely .
Hearing her apologize in such a meek voice, he felt a little amused . “I didn’t take it to heart . ”
“Mhm…” She softly hummed, feeling abashed .
“Let’s have dinner together later,” he invited casually . Although he sounded aloof, his tone was very gentle .
“This… Let’s decide again at night . ” Thinking that her mother was at home alone, she did not dare to agree to it .
“Okay . ”
Hanging up, she started ruminating on what kind of wrong the girl had committed again .
As for the girl pushing someone down the stairs, she did not believe it at all .
In her eyes, although the girl was stubborn and capricious, she was extremely kind-hearted .
Hence, she would never believe that the girl would be capable of harming others .
The taxi quickly reached the girl’s house . Alighting from it, she took a look at the huge villa in front of her and sucked in a deep breath .
She then reached out and pressed the doorbell to the villa .

Soon, a lady wearing a housekeeper uniform walked out .
“Miss, who are you?”
She smiled at the young woman politely . “Hello, I’m Pei Ge, Qin Qitong’s good friend . I came here today to catch up with her . ”
“Oh, so you’re our little miss’s friend!” The woman seemed to realize something as she showed a troubled face in the next instant . “Sorry, Miss Pei; It’s not convenient for our little miss to see guests right now . ”
“How can that be? I was just on the phone with her, and we’ve already agreed to meet . ”
She blinked in surprise and expressed her confusion .
“This… Miss Pei, it’s like this . It’s not that our little miss is not free to meet you but that… our family head isn’t letting anyone visit our little miss,” the woman helplessly explained .
“Ah, so it’s like that . ” She pondered, It seems that Qitong really got into big trouble this time .
“Then, is your family head home now?”
“Our family head isn’t home now . ”
“Then… is there anyone at home who can make decisions?” She might as well see Qin Qitong since she was already here .
That lass cried so badly on the phone; maybe, she suffered an injustice .

“Our family’s madam is home, but… it’s impossible for her to let you in . ”
This made her feel even more perplexed . Usually, the mother was doting, while the father was strict .
Qin Qitong’s mother would not let her in, too?
However, once she entered the house, she understood why even if she had a ‘loving mother’, that lass would still weep bitterly .
“Can you let your madam know that I am Ji Ziming’s girlfriend? I just returned to the capital and wanted to visit Qitong who’s like a sister to me,” she requested, smiling politely .
Since she was already his girlfriend, it was fine for her to use his name sometimes .
The woman eyed her suspiciously for a while before she finally entered the villa .
When she came out again, the door was already open for her .
Following the housekeeper inside the gate, she was in no mood to admire the garden in the front yard and quickly stepped into the house .
Soon, she spotted a lady in a royal purple dress sipping her tea sitting on the living room’s expensive creamy-white sofa .
Just as she was wondering if the woman was Qin Qitong’s sister, she heard the housekeeper call the woman .
“Madam, this is Miss Pei . ”
She was instantly taken aback by this .
The woman was just in her thirties . No matter how much one took care of their skin, was it possible for a woman in her forties or fifties to look as if she were just in her early thirties?
Could such a person really be that lass’s mother?
That was impossible! She was just way too young!
“Miss Pei, I heard that you’re Ziming’s girlfriend . Is that true?”
This lady in her thirties started chuckling when she saw her looking dazedly at her .
“Are you thinking why Tongtong’s mother is this young?”
Spotting the lady’s nearly imperceptible smile, Pei Ge returned to herself .
As she was already used to supervising people at this point, she was unfazed by all this .
Thus, although her mind was in turmoil, she did not show it on her face . Instead, she smiled at the woman . “I just didn’t expect Qitong’s mother to be so young . Auntie, your skin maintenance is really superb . ”
“Hur hur… It’s not that I’m good at maintaining my skin, but because I’m not Tongtong’s biological mother . ”
