“Hur hur. I was just thinking why I haven’t seen you around Qimo recently. It turned out that you’ve managed to snag another rich man’s son. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I’ve truly underestimated a mundane-looking woman like you.”
Pei Ge turned around with a puzzled look when she heard that unfamiliar voice.
A pretty lady with exquisite makeup in a bright-red cashmere coat entered her eyes.
This woman… I seem to remember seeing her somewhere before…
She frowned lightly. Still, I don’t think I know her. Why is she saying that to me?
“Ji Lelin, what do you mean by that?!” Qin Qitong, who was following Pei Ge like a shadow, glared at the lady.
“Qin Qitong. Hur. You are indeed still so dumb.”
The speaker was none other than the Ji family’s eldest daughter who had gone on a date with Ji Ziming before.
“I say; are you feeling jealous because my cousin doesn’t like you back?” Qin Qitong was not one to let herself be bullied easily, so with a smirk, she fired back these equally insulting words.
“Him?” The lady just nudged her lips, clearly unaffected by her words.
Aye? A date with Ziming?
Ah!
Pei Ge blinked in comprehension, having finally recalled why the lady looked so familiar. I’ve indeed met her before at a restaurant.
Still, I don’t remember doing anything for her to be mad about. We’ve never even exchanged a word between us.
“Auntie, just look at her; she’s too much!” The girl was really enraged by the lady’s attitude and quickly complained about it to her aunt.
Only then did the lady realize that Ji Ziming’s mother was there, and the one who had offered to buy stuff for Pei Ge was her as well.
“A-Auntie Ji?” A flustered look appeared on Ji Lelin’s face at the sight of the older woman’s smiling face.
“Lelin, do you have anything against my son?” While the latter was smiling at her, it did not reach her eyes.
She hurriedly shook her head. “Of course not.”
“Oh, so you have something against my son’s girlfriend?” Mother Ji nodded frostily, narrowing her eyes at her.
Ji Lelin was dumbfounded at that.
“What?! She’s your son’s girlfriend?!”
Her eyes opened wide in disbelief as she turned to stare at Pei Ge.
“Of course! Our Sister Pei Ge is my cousin’s girlfriend and my future cousin-in-law!” Qin Qitong raised her chin smugly. “So, you should give up now. My cousin won’t ever like you back.”
“Tongtong…” Mother Ji shook her head lightly, signaling her to stop talking.
The girl could only pout at that and shoot Ji Lelin a look of disdain.
“You actually became his girlfriend…” Ji Lelin muttered in shock.
She thought at first that this woman had become someone else’s mistress. After all, she had neither had the looks nor the elegance.
Most importantly, this woman, who had no merits whatsoever, actually succeeded in capturing Wen Qimo’s heart and even ditched him afterward! That was just unforgivable!
However… she finally understood why she would ditch him now.
“Ugh?” Pei Ge only felt confused when this pretty and aggressive lady glared at her with much hostility.
What’s wrong with her? Why is she looking at me like I killed a family member of hers?
“So!” Ji Lelin abruptly raised her voice after staring at Pei Ge for a while.
Her severe tone startled the three women, especially the target of her anger.
“You’ve dumped Ah Mo, haven’t you?!” She clenched her fists and glared fiercely at her.
“What?” Pei Ge was stunned. “Who is Ah Mo?”
Oh, please. Besides that jerk with the surname Zhou, I’ve never truly been in a relationship with other men, not to mention dumping one at that!
“Sister Pei Ge, who is Ah Mo?” Qin Qitong’s interest was piqued by this.
Who is this Ah Mo? Ji Lelin’s friend or her ex-boyfriend?
“That’s right, Ge Ge. Who is this Ah Mo?” Mother Ji also looked at her quizzically, thinking inside, It looks like my future daughter-in-law has good market!
She again felt helpless at the aunt-niece pair’s curious gazes at her.
F*ck. I myself don’t know who this Ah Mo is! I’ve only dated a jerk with the surname Zhou, and he’s the one who dumped me. I’ve never dumped any—er, wait a second! The ‘Ah Mo’ this lady is talking about can’t be…
“Don’t tell me that you’ve actually forgotten about Ah Mo since you now have Ji Ziming’s thighs to cling onto?!” Ji Lelin was instantly enraged by her cluelessness about her question.
“Do you know how heartbroken and down he is because of you? Do you know that he’s been thinking about you every day and has never forgotten about you for even a second? A woman like you has no right to Ah Mo’s sincerity!”
The current her was fuming. That unreachable man to her was easily tossed away by this woman, yet she had actually forgotten about him.
To make matters worse, this woman was inferior to her in everything!
This lowly woman has no right to the heart of the man I love!
Noticing the lady’s mounting anger, Pei Ge quickly interrupted. “Wait! The ‘Ah Mo’ you’re speaking of, it can’t be… Wen Qimo, right?”
“Wen Qimo?” Qin Qitong blinked and nudged her lips. She did not know this name.
Not only the girl but also Mother Ji did not know the person.
However, the moment she heard that this Wen Qimo guy was actually infatuated with her future daughter-in-law, alarm bells started ringing in her heart.
The gaze she used to look at Ji Lelin also became more hostile.
Why is this Old Ji’s daughter bringing up Ge Ge’s ex-boyfriend to her for no reason?
What will I do if my soon-to-be daughter-in-law runs away because she feels touched?
