“That’s why stop wasting your effort! I won’t let you rescue that boy…”
Ji Chi’s face turned ashen when he heard Qiao Jingyun’s words; he reckoned at first that she had discovered him, but their following conversation made him realize that she did not at all, and the only reason she was saying all this was…
“Why don’t you just remain as your family’s big missy and not let yourself get involved in this messy situation?”
The woman walked to Qu Jingwan’s side and pinched her chin as she added coldly, “Given the way the boy’s parents treated you, shouldn’t you have pretended that you didn’t see me taking away him? Why did you have to follow me secretly? If I hadn’t discovered you earlier, my plans might’ve been ruined by you!”
Perhaps, she was too curious, for she reached out to remove the cloth in the other’s mouth.
The latter began coughing the moment the cloth was removed.
Cough, cough, cough!
The young missy coughed for a really long time before recovering.
She then looked at her coldly.
“Do you think everyone is like you?! I really treat him as my child even when you were still pretending to care for him! You’re really a cold-blooded woman!”
She laughed at her words, looking at this rich missy mockingly.
“Aiya! That’s so touching! It’s my first time seeing a person who repays ingratitude with kindness! Tsk, tsk, tsk! Despite treating that guy so nicely, I haven’t seen him take a liking on you after all these years.”
She began laughing again. “On the other hand, that little fellow is very guarded against you!”
“That’s because he’s still young. In any case, I don’t blame him. Qiao Jingyun, I’m telling you to stop while you still can. Even if you hate Pei Ge, the child is innocent…”
Their conversation was heard by the boy, who was still hiding in the cabinet, and all of a sudden, a complicated feeling rose in his heart.
All along, he thought Qu Jingwan was his enemy, and that she had an ulterior motive for being nice to him.
However, the woman’s words today made him feel that he had gone overboard in the past.
After squabbling for a while with the rich missy, Qiao Jingyun seemed to have gotten bored of it.
Therefore, she turned to leave.
Hearing the sound of footsteps moving away, Ji Chi crept out of the cabinet.
“Wu wu wu!”
Qu Jingwan struggled when she saw the boy get out of the cabinet.
Seeing that her mouth was sealed again, he quickly walked over despite feeling uncomfortable himself.
Just as he removed the cloth in her mouth, those devilish footsteps sounded again before she could speak.
Pat… pat…
A pair of hands strangled the boy before he could hide in the closet again.
“Aiya! I’ve finally caught you!”
