"Oh, right. I forgot to tell you; you ordered those items earlier. Remember to pay for them at the counter later. Don't think about eating for free."
Pei Ge had just finished her statement when Liu Yue angrily leaped from her seat.
"How dare you?! You said it is your treat!" She glared daggers at Pei Ge, yet her bloodshot eyes, which were framed with fatigue, only made her look wan and terrible.
"Oh? I wonder when I said such a thing?" Pei Ge's mouth twitched, and she looked disdainfully at Liu Yue. "I remember saying that I'll treat you if you answer my question."
"You are not one to keep your words!" Realizing that Pei Ge was really intending to leave, she became frantic.
For payback's sake, she did not hold back from ordering the most expensive items in the menu. This meal would cost at least 1000 yuan.
"Do you take me for a fool?" Pei Ge looked at Liu Yue with a sarcastic smile. "Do you think I'm the type to treat my enemy, who harbors ill intention toward me, to coffee and dessert that cost at least 1000 yuan for no reason? You must really be treating me as a fool."
"You!" Liu Yue felt guilty at her words.
She did not expect Pei Ge to be so familiar with the pricing of this coffee house.
"Alright, if you don't want to end up at the police station for being a glutton, then you should sit down and stop daydreaming." Pei Ge uncaringly sat back down in the chair.
She tightly clenched her fists and darkly eyed Pei Ge.
"Pei Ge, you have changed."
Pei Ge found it comical to hear these words from someone who had betrayed her.
I've changed? I've never changed.
"You are mistaken; I haven't changed. You are the one who changed," she countered.
Seeing the ferocious Liu Yue today, she was somehow reminded of that small and timid girl in the past.
She had always sat in the corner of the classroom to be inconspicuous.
'Pe - Pei Ge, thank you…'
'Liu Yue, don't be so timid all the time and be bold. When they bully you next time, you must fight back. They won't dare to bully you again that way."
'I… I am not like you.'
'Who says that we all have to be the same? My father said that personality decides everything. Liu Yue, you must be bolder next time.'
When did that timid and weak girl, who would not even trample on a bug, turn into this vicious woman?
"Hmph! You do have a point. I was an ugly kid back then, but I am now a beautiful grownup." Liu Yue suddenly laughed and looked brightly at her. "You were so pretty that year, yet you've become like this today…"
Hearing the mockery in her voice, Pei Ge merely took a sip of water from the glass to moisten her lips. She cared not a whit about her words.
"I did not come here to hear you talk trash."
"I know. You want me to tell you what is up with Pei Shishi." While she could not get paid for speaking, she could at least walk on Pei Ge with her words.
"Pei Ge, you are truly pitiful. I don't know how bad your personality is for your cousin to hate you so much. She detests you to the point of cooperating with an outsider to ruin your reputation." Her eyes were full of hate when she said this.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) However, upon seeing Pei Ge's uncaring face, she unhappily felt as if she had punched cotton.
Just then, the waitress served the food that was ordered earlier.
The originally empty table was gradually filled with plates of food.
Although this was a coffee house, desserts and main course, like steak, could be ordered from here.
"Dear customers, everything has been served," the waitress politely informed and then left the two to continue their talk.
Once everything was served, Liu Yue stopped talking and began gobbling up the food and drinks as though her life depended on it and she were by herself.
Pei Ge did not eat any of the food on the table and merely watched Liu Yue gobble down the food.
Only when the latter was almost done did she speak.
"Continue talking."
Liu Yue drank a mouthful of the aromatic coffee before she coldly asked, "Your cousin is the mastermind; don't you already know this? Why do you still have to ask?"
Before she could reply, Liu Yue laughed mockingly.
"Oh, I get it. You want to know whether I or Pei Shishi initiated that matter."
She did not reply and simply looked at her.
"He he! Of course, it was Pei Shishi's idea." Liu Yue looked at her mockingly. "Your cousin hates you more than I do, after all."
"Really?" Pei Ge's expression remained calm, as though Liu Yue's words did not affect her at all. However, her pair of hands beneath the table had longed clenched into fists.
"Since you desperately want to know, I will tell you everything from start to finish."
Liu Yue's face was full of malice, and, with a ridiculing look, she explained loudly.
"Yes, I do hate you, but I am just an average person; what can I do to you? Nothing! The most I managed to do before is create some obstacles for you at the company."
"I detested you and wanted to see your downfall, but I was incapable of crafting an elaborate method to do so."
"Your stunning and rich cousin is different. She knows you inside and out. Most importantly, she's got the brains."
"She came looking for me one day, asking me about matters pertaining to you and CEO Ji, and then…" Liu Yue chortlingly continued, "and then she orchestrated that plot to ruin your reputation."
Pei Ge lowered her head, her long eyelashes masking the expression in her pair of black eyes.
"It is as such, huh…"
Cousin…
