“M-Miss Qiao, w-what are you saying?”
What seal the deal? What… did she mean by getting pregnant with the young master’s child?!
Even though she considered this lady to be a good match for her young master, she had never thought of something like that happening!
“What do you mean by that?”
Sister Yun frowned, confusion flashing across her eyes .
“Today is the day that he gets engaged . I feel terrible . ” Qiao Jingyun began crying without directly answering the question .
Teardrops streamed down her face as though they were crystal beads .
Although she had makeup on, it was waterproof and was, thus, unaffected by her tears . The way tears streamed down her face silently made one’s heart ache for her .
“You could tell how close we were back then . ” She continued to sob softly .
“Actually, I did go out with him in the past, but because uncle disliked me, we never went public with our relationship .
“Even so, I never thought that we would one day separate, so before I left for New York, once, he and I…”
She trailed off and just wept bitterly .
Still, despite her words going unfinished, how could the elderly woman not make out what she had wanted to say?
Besides, open-ended statements were ambiguous and left much to the imagination, especially to stuff that was unlikely to happen .
“O-Once?!” Sister Yun’s eyes widened, and she looked at this lady with shock . “This… t-this…”
She opened and closed her mouth several times, but she was unable to form a coherent sentence .
In fact, she was in a state of shock and did not know what to say at the moment . The revelation was just too shocking .
Thinking about it now, her young master did not seem to have returned to the villa or his apartment the day this lady left .
She remembered clearly that the master was even mad at her young master back then…
“It’s fine . Today remains the day that he gets engaged . You should go help out; I’d like some time alone,” Qiao Jingyun said with a lonely smile . She recognized how shocked the elderly woman was but did not give her ample time to react .
Sister Yun only returned from her shock when she heard the woman say that .
Pursing her lips, she looked at the sorrowful and feigned strength on the lady’s face and felt even sorrier for her .
“Don’t worry . Our young master will certainly change his mind one day . ”
She comforted her .
“Change his mind… How will he change his mind still? He’s already getting engaged to her today . When she’s pregnant…”
Qiao Jingyun smiled sadly as she looked afar .
Pregnant? Child?
Right!
Sister Yun’s eyes lit up, and she looked excitedly at her .
“Miss Qiao, if you’re pregnant with our young master’s child, he surely will change his mind!”
“Are you kidding me? How can I have his child?”
Her words seemed to cause Qiao Jingyun to be in a daze . Immediately after, she shook her head and started laughing .
“No matter what, please don’t give up . You’re the one truly meant for my young master—”
“Alright . Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, but I really need some time alone now . ” She told the elderly woman with a bitter smile, cutting her off mid-speech .
“Okay, then, Miss Qiao, I’ll take my leave now . Please don’t overthink it . ”
Looking at downtrodden expression on her face, Sister Yun knew that this special day was a huge blow on her .
Thus, even though she had a million things she wanted to say to her, she still left the secluded place .
As she watched the woman disappear, the bitterness and sorrow on Qiao Jingyun’s face disappeared entirely .
In its place was an icy-cold expression .
Clap, clap, clap!
A sudden applause sounded in that secluded corner .
The crisp, clear applause resonated in her ears .
Qiao Jingyun was not flustered, though . In fact, her expression did not even change .
“I didn’t expect you to have become even more formidable in the years that I haven’t seen you . These acting skills, even I can’t compare . ”
A figure in light green clothes appeared from a dark corner alongside the cold, soft female voice .
“Pei Shishi . ”
There was no sign of shock on her face upon seeing this figure . It was as if she had known that the woman was hiding there all along .
“He he! I’m really curious . Did he really sleep with you?”
The woman looked coldly and mockingly at her .
Even though she sounded as if she were asking a question, she continued speaking without waiting for an answer .
“I’m guessing that you’ve never done it with him . He he . Someone like you, if you really did something with him, my cousin would never be in the picture . ”
Pei Shishi pouted, her gaze spiteful .
She was clear of this woman’s antics . She had always liked to use ambiguity to her advantage .
She would say a part of something, leading someone into believing her lies .
“If you really performed the deed with him, how would you end up being forced to flee overseas? Don’t you think so?”
