Her eyes turned even colder. As long as she was willing to believe it, none of this was a reason for Pei Ge to make things difficult for Qu Jingwan. The person she wanted to deal with was the woman behind Qu Jingwan who controlled the entire Qu family.

  “Pei Ge, I believe you. How do you want me to tell you the news?”


  Qu Jingwan sounded defeated. Looking at Pei Ge’s back, she thought of the first time she saw this woman.

  “When I want news, I’ll contact you myself. You just need to ensure that you don’t get discovered in the Qu family. You just need to pay attention to where Old master Qu and Old lady Qu are going.”


  She walked to the meeting room with a low voice.

  The sunlight outside the house was glaring, and the green lawn in the courtyard looked brand new. If not for the cold and lonely air, one would think that it was summer.

  In Pei Ge’s courtyard, the roses were blooming and those at the side were lush. In her eyes, they were exceptionally enchanting and even the sunlight on her fingertips was enchanting. It was bright and comforting.

  The show was finally about to begin, and there was only one possibility to it. That was to make the person who was not in her position leave everything she had, including her position and love that did not belong to her.

  Perhaps to that person, love was no longer important and the power in her hands was real.

  The corners of Pei Ge’s lips curled up. Hearing the sound of high heels behind her, she felt much gentler than before.

  “Pei Ge, thank you. No matter what, I know that you have the ability. Even if you don’t, Ji Ziming behind you does. I don’t know what your motive is for doing this to the Qu family, but I know that the person you want to deal with is my grandmother.”


  Qu Jingwan stood in the conference room and finally understood everything.

  Back then, it was Old lady Qu who asked her to take up the position of CEO Ji Ziming’s wife. It was not easy for Mother Ji and Father Ji to have a good impression of Qu Jingwan but Pei Ge, who came out of nowhere, caught her off guard.

  Although she did not understand why Pei Ge could easily escape all her plans, it seemed that Ji Ziming was her trump card.

  Only a woman like her was someone that no one dared to mess with.

  Even Old lady Qu was the same.

  “Fine. So what if you’re right? You already chose to betray the Qu family when you came to look for me. Since you’ve already chosen to betray them, what’s the point of pretending to stand up for your grandmother and grandfather?”


  Pei Ge turned around and looked at Qu Jingwan with bright eyes. However, no matter how one looked at her, she still looked like a thief. A person who stole someone else’s things would have to return it sooner or later, and there was only one reason to do so.

  It was best not to take something that did not belong to one. This applied for Qu Jingwan and Old lady Qu.

  “Pei Ge, I really underestimated you. You are scarier than the rumors say.”


  Qu Jingwan blinked and continued looking into Pei Ge’s eyes. “When I met you, you weren’t like this. You actually hid such viciousness in your heart. I was even deceived by you.”


  “Have you only been cheated by me? Don’t you want to think about how long you’ve stayed in the Qu family and Ji family? Was I the only one who cheated you?”


  Pei Ge’s lips curled up as anger flashed across her cold eyes. However, she looked at Qu Jingwan pitifully as though what she had just said was a huge joke and the person who heard it could laugh for a long time.

  “What do you mean?”


  Qu Jingwan did not understand, but the way she looked at Pei Ge made her feel worried.

  “You don’t even understand what I mean. What right do you have to call me a sinister and vicious person?”


  Pei Ge blinked and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. Her gaze on Qu Jingwan was even colder, as though she were the devil from hell.

  Perhaps it was because she had been together with Ji Ziming for a long time that her way of speaking naturally resembled his.

  “Aren’t you?”


  Qu Jingwan pursed her red lips with a sad smile.

  “Qu Jingwan, you’re the one who lost and I’m the winner. The process of winning isn’t important. What’s important is whether the two of them have the same capital to compete together. It’s obvious that you’ve lost and you’ve lost pitifully. You’re left with nothing. Other than looking for my help, I really can’t think of any other way for you to gain a foothold in the Qu family and continue to be loved by your grandparents.”


  Pei Ge pursed her pink lips and there was actually a trace of red stain.

  “You!”


  Qu Jingwan had nothing to say. Pei Ge’s words were true and she really did not have any solutions.

  On the way to the Ji family’s house, she had been struggling internally for at least two hours. The two families were not that far apart, yet she had spent half a day here.

  She only dared to enter after Mother Ji and Ji Ziming had left the house. She had originally wanted to use her identity as the Qu family’s eldest young mistress to stand before Pei Ge, but now, she was like a clown. Other than feeling ashamed, she could not find any other words to describe her current self.

  “Why? Did I hit the nail on the head?”


  She laughed.

  “You waited for Madam Ji and Ziming to leave before you dared to come in, right?”


  Pei Ge continued as she looked at Qu Jingwan with bright eyes, as though she had seen many things that she did not know.

  “So what if you’re right? You’ve already agreed to help me, and that’s enough. As for what kind of person you are, it has nothing to do with me, and I won’t dwell on it anymore. Anyway, the person who married you isn’t me. As long as Ji Ziming likes you, it’s fine. No matter if you’re evil or a silly little bunny, it has nothing to do with me.”


  Qu Jingwan only wanted to stay out of the matter now. Their relationship was already predestined. The tables had already turned while she was careless but she did not know what the outcome would be.

  “Very good. It’s great that you’re able to understand. I won’t keep you further.”
