“That’s too much! How could your cousin do that to you?”
Zhang Manhua’s face was full of anger.
“She’s your cousin! You both share the same blood! How could she scheme against you like that?”
She only felt wronged for her daughter. Back then, that scumbag’s disappearance had hit her daughter hard, and the pain her daughter had endured was too much.
Finding out that her daughter’s suffering was caused by the niece she had treated so well, she was only filled with anger. She was especially angry when she thought of how her niece, while overseas, would introduce potential dating partners to her daughter after Zhou Zhuoyang’s disappearance…
“Your cousin is too much! No wonder all your blind dates were unsuccessful and how you always ended up getting paired with jerks! It’s all her doing!”
Compared to her mother’s anger, Pei Ge could not care less about it.
“Mom, don’t get mad. She’s already gotten what she deserves.”
The man that her cousin loved disliked—hated even—her, and the man she thought she had in her grasp also left her out of hatred.
Indeed, her cousin had incurred karma.
Only the Pei Family Real Estate, which was not on equal footing with the Zhou family’s business, would be affected by this engagement cancelation. This time around, her second uncle and her cousin were likely beyond upset.
This was clearly the result of walking all over other people’s feelings.
“Since my ex-boyfriend finally knows my cousin’s true colors, it’s naturally for him to break off their engagement,” she remarked carelessly. Regarding those two people, she did not want to mention or speak about them anymore.
They were just strangers who did not deserve her attention.
“That’s true!” The anger in Zhang Manhua’s heart ebbed away when she heard her daughter’s words.
Her precious daughter was right; those two were just getting what they deserved!
Back then, they had hurt her daughter deeply. Now, man had brought humiliation to the woman in the form of abandonment. He even wanted to get back with her daughter after finding out the truth but to no avail.
Was is not pure torture for them?
He he! Still, she would avenge her daughter the next time she came across those two pieces of trash.
“He he! Thinking about it now, we should thank your cousin for taking that scumbag from you!”
She scoffed in mockery.
“En?” This was Pei Ge’s first time seeing such an evil look on her kind-hearted mother’s face.
“If your cousin didn’t steal that man from you, how would you come across Xiao Ji? Tsk, tsk, tsk. We should really thank those two one of these days,” her mother said with a bright smile on her face.
Instinctively, she shuddered at the sight of a bright smile on her mother’s face.
Gosh! Why did I suddenly feel that mom is scary?
I must be my imagination! Imagination!
As she muttered all that to herself, she heard her mother say, “By the way, Ge Ge; why didn’t your boyfriend send you up today?”
Zhang Manhua only noticed that her daughter had gone upstairs by herself.
“Mom, I saw that it’s too late and… thought that something had happened so I didn’t let him come up,” her daughter explained earnestly. It was though she were afraid of her having the wrong idea about the man.
Looking at how defensive of the man her daughter was, she could only shake her head with a wry smile. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re already siding with him even though you’re not married yet.”
Pei Ge pouted at her mother’s teasing.
“Tsk. If we talk about taking sides, who can beat you? I wonder who’s the one that practically treats my boyfriend like a son?” she muttered.
“I’ve discussed it with your auntie Ji. Even if you and Xiao Ji want to get married earlier, you must still have an engagement party.”
Her eyes widened when she heard that. Since when was her mother close to her boyfriend’s mother?
“Mom, when did you become close to Ziming’s mom?”
She looked at her mother in disbelief.
” Sigh … When you and Xiao Ji were not home, your auntie Ji and I felt bored, so we hung out and did things together…”
The smile on her mother’s lips became a permanent fixture once she started speaking of the man’s mother.
Her mouth upturned a little as she noted this.
She had not seen such a relaxed smile on her mother’s face in a long time…
It was great that she met Ji Ziming… as all the happiness that she had now was brought to her by him.
If not for meeting him, how would she have these achievements today, and how would her mother have such carefree days?
“Xiao Ji’s mom is really nice. You are blessed to be her future daughter-in-law,” her mother said, smiling at her with contentment.
This made her smile as well. Wrapping her arms around her mother’s, she proceeded to lean on her shoulder like a child.
“The best thing that has ever happened to me in this life is becoming dad and mom’s daughter. I’m definitely the luckiest person in the world.”
Tears welled up in her mother’s eyes at her words.
“Silly. Having you is our greatest blessing…”
The mother-daughter pair only retired in their respective rooms after spending quality time with each other.
The two slept well that night, not expecting that… something would bring chaos into their home the next morning!
That was because—
“Ah! Sister Pei Ge, you’re famous now! Oh, my gosh! You’re so awesome for appearing on the news today!”
