“I…”
Liu Yan subconsciously took a step back at her niece’s shrill shriek, which was full of stubbornness.
She opened her mouth to speak but was stopped at the last moment by her daughter.
“What else do you want?! You’re scaring my mother!”
Her daughter took a step forward to shield her and stared fiercely at her niece.
This interruption also caused her to regain her composure.
At once, she felt infuriated at her niece for almost causing her daughter’s effort in getting her out of prison to go to waste.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
All she could think of how not to waste her daughter’s effort; hence, despite her guilty and fluster just moments ago, she steeled her heart now.
“I didn’t even step out of this house last night, so how could I drive a car into your mother?! That’s ridiculous!”
Pei Ge’s face turned into a mocking one when her second auntie’s attitude changed after her cousin’s interruption.
“I believe the CCTV will show whether you left the house or not.”
“Alright. If you are only here to denounce us, I think it’s time for you to leave.”
Pei Shishi was unwilling to keep bickering with her cousin as her mother nearly sold herself out.
Hence, she quickly drove her cousin away.
“Heh!”
The other only smirked coldly. “I’m not here to denounce but to inform.”
As she said this, her lips curled into a cold smile.
“I still have evidence.”
This statement caused both women’s faces to change.
“Are you guys thinking that you can do anything now that you have destroyed one piece of evidence?”
She stared at them with a hateful gaze and a cold expression.
“Let me tell you: dream on!”
For this non-existent evidence, her innocent mother was now unconscious.
How could she possibly let these two people obtain happiness while her mother was suffering?
They don’t have the right to be—not even one bit!
“Rest assured, you guys; no matter who you have above, I will still send you to prison one by one!”
She spoke each word resolutely as though making an oath.
“You said it yourself: We have someone above, so how can you possibly send us to prison?” At this moment, her cousin suddenly chuckled and regarded her mockingly.
“Don’t forget, cousin; you may have someone above, but I have someone behind me, too. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten who my man is?”
She made an oath inside at her cousin’s arrogance. Even if I must borrow the Ji family’s power, I’ll still send this family to prison! No matter if there is evidence or regardless of the method I use, I’ll definitely send these relatives of mine to prison! I will have them live the rest of their lives in utter regret!
“Hur hur! Your man…”
Who knew that her cousin would actually not show any fear when she pointed this out but chuckle, instead?
Her laughter held inexplicable mocking.
This reaction caused her to frown as doubt blossomed in her heart.
Why is cousin giving this reaction?
Could the person… they have above be more powerful than the Jis?
Just as she was pondering on this, her cousin spoke. “Do you know who got my mother out of prison this time?”
Her ill-intentioned smile caused the uneasiness in Pei Ge to deepen.
“Who is it?!”
“Why don’t you guess?” Her cousin smiled casually.
“Don’t try to trick me here. Just say it if you have anything to say.” She coldly regarded her.
“Hur hur! You are too boring. Fine. I’ll tell you since you wanna know it so much.”
Her cousin’s lips curled up.
Pei Shishi looked at her with a pair of bright eyes and a light smile.
“The one who got out my mother from prison is your man, Ji Ziming.”
The moment she finished speaking, Pei Ge rebutted without hesitation.
“Impossible! At least come up with a more believable lie next time! Are you trying to be funny here?”
How could it be Ji Ziming? This is definitely impossible!
Never mind the person who was run down being my mother, just from how much he hates my cousin, it’s already impossible for him to help her!
“You really do dare to say anything now.”
She gave her a mocking look, clearly not believing a word of it.
However, her confidence was soon crushed.
“You don’t believe me? I truly pity you.”
The other’s lips curled up as she regarded her with a ridiculing look.
“Do you really think that he truly loves you? Have you never thought that he may have hidden motives?”
Each question caused her heart to waver.
Nonetheless, this was only limited to what Pei Shishi said and not the fact that the man helped her mother to get out of prison.
“Stop trying to pull tricks on me. Do you think I’ll fall for it just because you dragged him into this? Truly laughable.”
“Pfft! I’m just kindheartedly reminding you.”
Her cousin shrugged, sensing her disbelief, and continued regarding her with sympathy and pity.
“I’m uninterested in hearing all your groundless lies.”
Already feeling frustrated, Pei Ge did not want to linger here for a second longer.
Thus, she turned around to leave, but she had just taken a few steps when her cousin’s words caused her to stop in her tracks.
“I’m truly not lying to you. What I said is the truth. I know that you think that he hates me and the one responsible for your mother’s condition, but he truly got my mom out of prison.”
