"If you don't believe me, you can take your marriage certificate to check. You will know then whether I'm lying to you or not."

Qiao Jingyun's smile got wider at her dejected look.

She was never fond of Pei Ge to begin with. She found her to be such an eyesore every time she saw her appear beside Ji Ziming with a blissful look.

Oftentimes, she had an urge to tear away the bliss on her face, make her miserable, and fall into the depths of hell from the heavens!

ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom Now, under her relentless hard work and effort, her wish was finally about to come true!

It truly was… worth celebrating!

She watched the other lower her head in silence as a thick desolation and sorrow emanated from her.

She spoke again. "Alright. I've said all I wanted. Actually, I don't have anything against you. I'm pretty content with you being my shield, but I dislike that you don't know your place, so I'd like to remind you a little."

Her words caused the other's body to sag slightly.

"I was just worried that you'd go around running your mouth off because of what your cousin told you, so I'm here to remind you to keep your mouth shut. Now that you understand and know everything, it's time for me to ask Ziming to stop interfering with your mother and aunt's matter."

The moment she stopped speaking, Pei Ge's head instantly shot up as she stared at her with wide eyes.

"What?!"

"Hm? Hasn't your cousin told you everything? The reason why her mother got out of prison was that she threatened me. I was just worried that she'd run her mouth off and tell others that I'm pregnant with his child, so I asked him to help her out." She looked at Pei Ge with wide eyes, seemingly surprised that she did not know this.

"Since you know the truth now, with you as a shield, Ziming's parents shouldn't believe whatever your cousin says. As long as you continue hiding this truth for us, I won't let him interfere with this matter!"

Currently, Pei Ge only felt cold as her heart seemed to have been cast in ice.

"My aunt was released… because he interfered?"

Her whole body shook. Even her teeth chattered as she asked this question with all the energy she had.

"That's right. Otherwise, how do you think could your upstart relatives get your aunt out of prison?"

She nodded. Her tone was filled with disdain as she mentioned Pei Ge's relatives.

Subconsciously, she forgot about her family. In the capital, they were no better than the Pei family.

"…It's true, huh?"

This time, Pei Ge totally crumbled apart.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

She stared at the woman with a blank look as she kept muttering to herself.

She did not want to believe and was unwilling to believe, but… all this woman's words were forcing her to believe it!

The pregnancy report, the photos in her phone… the fake marriage certificate… all of it was telling her that it was time to wake up…

"I'm truly quite satisfied with you as my shield. I'm actually fine whether I marry Ziming or not as long as he loves me. After all, I truly love him and don't want him to choose between me and his parents."

Qiao Jingyun's tone suddenly turned gentle at her gaze turning slack.

"Honestly speaking, I'm actually quite jealous of you. I'm jealous that you can openly stand beside him and be the Ji mistress in everyone's mouth. Still, I am very thankful to you. If not for your appearance, I won't be able to return this soon and be with him every day…"

Pei Ge's lips slanted up at the other's hypocritical words. As though she had finally thought through something, she looked at the woman with a look of mockery, halting the latter's disgusting charade.

"Shut up. Stop acting in front of me. I know that your goal is to make me leave him. I'll tell you this now: I have already thought it through!"

Her words seemed to succeed in displeasing the woman as the latter's smile faltered.

"I don't care what your relationship with Ziming is, but I will let you know this: My marriage with him is a done deal! I will make you forever be unable to become his wife and remain as the frustrated woman who can't get what she wants! As long as you make any move, I will make you become a known and shameless mistress!"

"You!" Qiao Jingyun was almost angered to death!

She did not understand why Pei Ge, who looked as though she was about to die from desolation, suddenly became even more hard to deal with in just a split second!

She also did not act according to her expectations! This made her unable to rebut her!

"Hmph! It doesn't matter if the marriage certificate is real because I assure you that I will soon make it real!"

Pei Ge took a step forward with an arrogant expression. Her height was clearly about the same as Qiao Jingyun's, but when the two of them stood together, the air she emitted was clearly superior.

"You're crazy…" The other frowned at her arrogant and open smile.

This woman really can't be underestimated! Her dumb cousin even said that she's stupid and a fool when in love. Hur hur! Looks like the actual, stupid one is Pei Shishi…

"Actually, I must thank you for reminding me. You are right; my mom is now sick and the Ji family can give her the best treatment, so I'll marry Ji Ziming even if I die—even if the person he loves isn't me."

Qiao Jingyun's mind turned blank at this. She only said that earlier to taunt and humiliate this woman. Little did she expect that this woman would actually use it against her! Moreover, she even successfully managed to anger her!

"That's why I say: I am truly grateful to you! In order to repay you, I will definitely properly not break up with Ji Ziming!"
