In this world, no one could be happy until the end and no one would have something forever, including Ji Ziming.
Qu Jingwan stood in front of Pei Ge. Her eyes were filled with anger but she did not dare to say anything. She knew that if she could not convince Pei Ge to help her today, she would likely marry someone she did not love when she returned to Qu family because of Old master Qu’s business marriage.
Even if the person she loved had never loved her.
“Pei Ge, I’ve thought of my escape route when I came to look for you today. I beg you to help me. As long as you help me, I’ll listen to everything you say and do whatever you want me to do. I promise.”
Qu Jingwan’s eyes were soft as she looked at Pei Ge with watery eyes. Her red lips seemed to have lost the color she was most proud of and she spoke weakly.
“Pei Ge, whether you are the CEO’s wife or Ji Ziming’s mistress, I don’t care. I don’t care about Ji Ziming’s fiancée title either. I came looking for you today for one purpose. You know me. I can do anything for this purpose, so it’s best that you don’t force me. I also have your weakness in my hands too. Don’t forget that in little Ji Chi’s mind, I am his closest person. Also, don’t forget that I am now the same as you.”
Pei Ge looked coldly at Qu Jingwan. Despair truly gave courage even to a coward.
The current Qu Jingwan was probably just that.
“Oh? I’d like to hear how I’m the same as you.”
Pei Ge pursed her lips and looked at Qu Jingwan with cold eyes. “Miss Qu, why don’t you tell me first what you have to negotiate with me. This way, I’ll know how much I have to give you in exchange to get my capital back.”
“I…”
Qu Jingwan was stunned. She did not have the capital, nor did she have the capital. The only person Pei Ge cared about was little Ji Chi, but little Ji Chi might have long forgotten her.
“Tell me about it. Tell me your capital, and I’ll choose whether to invest or not. Let’s just treat this as a deal. You need to convince me before I choose to help you or not. Otherwise, how would I know…”
“I’ll be your spy!”
Qu Jingwan promptly stated her greatest potential.
Pei Ge did not say anything and just looked at Qu Jingwan quietly. She was conflicted on whether she should do this or what her motive was. Revenge or simply to destroy a competitor.
“Why? Are you not satisfied with this capital?”
Qu Jingwan lowered her head and looked at Pei Ge with a subtle gaze. She thought that her words would not reach the goal Pei Ge wanted but before she could say it again, Pei Ge’s voice sounded.
“I’m very satisfied, but I don’t know if I should help you.”
Her lips curled up into a smile.
“What do you mean? Are you playing with me? You said that you want me to reveal what I have, but now that I’ve said it, you have this attitude. What do you want me to do? Tell me. If you weren’t Ji Ziming’s current woman, do you think I would really come looking for you? Do you think that a little lass from who knows where has the right to order me around? Pei Ge, let me tell you; don’t play with fire!”
Qu Jingwan was furious. Her red lips were so red that they looked like fresh roses.
“Then, Miss Qu, you can leave now. Since you’re not here to discuss how to deal with your position in the Qu family, we have nothing else to say. You can leave now and I don’t need to send you off. Please leave by yourself.”
Pei Ge’s voice was cold and her gaze on Qu Jingwan was even colder.
“Pei Ge, are you serious? I came to ask for your help out of goodwill. Is this how you play with me?”
The more Qu Jingwan spoke, the angrier she got. Pei Ge, who was sitting in front of her, had a murderous look in her eyes as though she wanted to tear the person in front of her apart.
“I’m not playing with you, and I didn’t say that I’ll definitely help you. I said that I’ll consider it, but seeing your attitude, I don’t think I need to consider it anymore. I think I’d better go back to my room to rest. Rather than wasting my time here with you, I might as well…”
“Pei Ge, I’m begging you. I’m begging you to help me. I’m really at my wits’ end right now. I’m sorry for my disrespectful words to you earlier, but we’re both women. Grandma told me that if I really can’t think of a solution, she’ll sacrifice me, but you know me. I don’t want to go. You and Ji Ziming are truly in love, and I have someone I love, but think about it. It’s so painful to be separated from the person you love. Pei Ge, I hope you can understand.”
Qu Jingwan’s eyes were soft and watery as she looked at Pei Ge. Her red lips seemed to have lost all their vitality and she looked weak.
“You want me to pity you?”
Pei Ge sat up straight and leaned forward as she looked coldly at Qu Jingwan. Her voice was even colder. “Then, do you know how much my heart ached when Ziming and I separated? How much pain he felt in his heart. Now, you only know how to make me pity you and even say that you want to go for a business marriage. What does that have to do with me?”
Pei Ge pursed her lips as she looked at Qu Jingwan with a ridiculous look.
“Are you really unwilling to help me?”
Qu Jingwan did not give up and confirmed it again.
“Is there any good for me to help you?”
Pei Ge chuckled as she looked at Qu Jingwan, who was standing in front of her with her head lowered, and a sense of happiness rose in her heart. When she was in pain, this woman would trample on her pain and use it as entertainment. Now, she would return everything to her.
Anyone who had hurt her in the past would walk into her trap step by step in the near future. No one could live happily forever and no one could truly live happily ever after.
This was the ending she wanted.
None of those who had hurt her would be spared.
“Yes!”
Qu Jingwan remained calm as though she had made a huge sacrifice. There was no anger in her eyes as she looked at Pei Ge. It was just a pitiful plea.
