Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 620
Chapter 620: Pei Ge, your father-in-law is here!
“Tsk, tsk. In this day and age, it really doesn’t cost anything to defame someone, huh…”
The women in sleek and glamorous office attires froze when they saw the person clapping.
Their faces froze at once, and fear fleeted in their eyes.
None expected her to appear here of all places, especially when they were badmouthing her.
“Keep going; why did you stop talking? I still want to hear the rest of what you guys have to say.” Pei Ge sneered when she saw their stunned looks.
“…” All of them awkwardly stood in place, and amid this silence, they saw the look on her face.
“Heh… Don’t you have anything else to say? Why? Aren’t you going to tell me anything now that I’m in front of you? Tsk. How boring. I was really looking forward to hearing other juicy tidbits from you all.”
She scoffed when no one dared to speak or even meet her eyes.
The truth was that, if it were before, she would yell at most and would not be standing here in front of them.
Alas, these people caught her in a bad mood, so they now became her targets for venting her frustration.
“Since you all don’t feel like talking anymore, it’s my turn now.”
Her gaze swept across these people coldly.
Perhaps, due to spending so much time around him, her gaze sometimes resembled Ji Ziming’s.
Under her cold gaze, the women with their guilty conscience stood rooted to their spots.
“First, CEO Ji and me dating is our business. He likes me, and I like him. We’re interested in each other, and that has got nothing to do with you, so you guys have no right to comment on it.
“Second, so what if I am scheming? Your CEO likes it, anyway. Can you guys interfere in that? The one who likes me is him and not you guys, so you all can stop minding it now.
“Third, even if I’m after his money, so what? If Ji Ziming is willing to give it to me, it’s none of your business. He he!
“Last, jealousy doesn’t look good on you people at all; even I’m not interested. No matter how pretty or how good your figure is, Ji Ziming will never be interested in gossipmongers like you, so when you have time, work on your manners.
Pei Ge saying all that stunned these women, and all of them stared at her in shock.
“Ah! Also…” Her lips curled into a cold smile, her expression turning sarcastic.
“Next time, don’t let me catch you people talking about me behind my back. Like you’ve said, I am capable of getting your CEO to fire bad women, so… you’d all better be careful. If I catch you next time, he he…”
She did not finish her statement, but her message was crystal clear, especially after her laugh.
The few women shuddered.
“He he! I’ve said my piece; I’ll take my leave now.”
She glanced at the women coldly before walking past them and away from this place.
Seeing her figure recede until it disappeared wholly, the few women returned to their senses.
“Gosh! That scared me! That Pei Ge is so scary!”
“Her aura is so strong! She really isn’t a regular woman!”
“En! That’s so scary! What does CEO see in her exactly?”
“Yeah. She’s so arrogant!”
“Okay, okay. Let’s quickly go back! The next time we talk about her, it’s better if we are in a place no one can hear us.”
“Yes…”
As the women spoke, they quickly left the place.
Once everyone was gone, a man in a black suit stepped out from behind the trees.
The man’s features resembled Ji Ziming’s, and he, too, gave off an oppressive aura.
Although the two men looked alike, their ages were vastly different.
The man standing next to the trees was clearly much older than Ji Ziming.
“Pei Ge…”
The man’s light brown eyes glinted coldly as his expression turned frosty; he seemed to have a strong opinion regarding her.
Unfortunately, she was unaware of all this…
Pei Ge stood outside the company building, feeling self-conflicted.
After she rashly decided to teach those women a lesson, she did not feel any better. She even felt that the person who had uttered those words to be strangely foreign to her; simply put, it was not like her at all.
“…” Ah! I shouldn’t have been so rash! What was I even saying earlier?
I just came across as arrogant and haughty to them!
Just as she was censuring herself, her phone rang.
Fishing it out, disappointment tinged her eyes when she saw that the caller was Qin Qitong.
“Hello—”
“Sister Pei Ge! Quickly come back to the company!”
Before she could speak further, the girl’s frantic voice came through.
“Ah? What?” She frowned in confusion, unclear of what had come over that lady.
“Anyway, Sister Pei Ge, quickly return to the company! Big news! Super big news! Just hurry up and come over!” In her excitement, the lady failed to answer her question.
“I’m at the company’s entrance right now.” Her lips twitched a little.
“Then, quickly go to the lobby!”
“What is up, exactly?” Her frown deepened.
Seeing that rushing the other did not work, the girl could only give on keeping everything in suspense.
“Aiya! Just come over already! Your future father-in-law is here, so make haste!”
“Huh? Future father-in-law?” For a moment, she was unable to wrap her head around this and asked, “What future father-in-law?”
The lady over the phone laughed upon hearing her question.
“Aiya! Sister Pei Ge, why are you so slow? You’re dating my cousin now, so of course your father-in-law is my cousin’s dad! Now, come fast!”
She froze when she heard her reply.
What? Ji Ziming’s dad?
Ehhh? What’s that annoying fellow’s dad doing here?!
The ones that should be here were absent, yet those that should not be here were present… Wh-What is this?!
Ah! Right, that annoying fellow did tell his dad about her, right? His dad should be quite nice… right?
