Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 782
Chapter 782: Well done, son!
“Uncle, auntie, I’m really sorry. It’s been awhile since my return but I’m only visiting you now.”
The brows of Ji Ziming’s mother knitted when she saw Qiao Jingyun enter the living room with her son.
She was baffled why her son would bring this woman over.
“Uncle, I’m really grateful to you for letting me pursue my studies overseas! I’ve learned many useful skills during my time overseas.”
Qiao Jingyun smiled at the man’s father sincerely.
For those who did not know the truth, they would think that she was truly feeling grateful to his father!
However, for those who knew her well and were not cheated by her pretense, would surely scoff.
Everybody knew that she was forced to leave the country.
If she had not left then, Pei Ge and Ji Ziming’s relationship would not have developed so swiftly. They might not even know each other.
Nonetheless, there were no ifs in this world.
“Hmph!” The Ji patriarch detested the way she acted.
He felt uneasy just by looking at this woman, who truly looked obedient.
In the past, he was sincerely grateful to her for saving his son.
As this woman grew up, though, her ambition became apparent. This caused him to dislike her from the bottom of his heart.
Since she was his son’s benefactor, he chose not to teach her a lesson. Instead, he merely watched from the sidelines.
This went on until he learned of how she had made use of his family’s fortune for her benefits. When this woman used underhanded means to harm a lady pursuing his son, he realized that he could no longer look on and do nothing.
Hence, he had her go overseas by force.
Even now, he could not fathom why this unscrupulous woman would sacrifice her life to save his son.
He had seen enough women of her kind. He found it highly inconceivable for her to change so drastically only after learning about their wealth.
Nonetheless, he also believed that it was impossible for her to possess such a demonic heart and immoral tactic – to the extent that she would gamble her life for riches – from a young age.
At the end of the day, he just felt that something was off regarding how this woman had saved his son.
The incident, alas, happened too suddenly, and this girl was indeed saved from those kidnappers. More importantly, she knew about all the things that had happened while his son was trapped in that small, dark room.
“Uncle, what are you thinking about?”
She was made uncomfortable by his cold, sharp look and how he seemed to be in deep thought.
At her continued pretentious act, he disdained to look at her further and shifted his gaze onto his son.
Before he could speak, his wife chided their son. “Ming Ming, how could you bring this woman home?”
Just like her husband, she also disliked their son’s benefactor.
Although she was kindhearted and mild-tempered, she was not stupid.
It was true that she had face blindness, but her heart was not blind.
“He he! Auntie, I just wanted to visit you two and have a meal together!”
Qiao Jingyun’s smile became even more radiant despite the couple showing their dislikes of her openly.
“But I don’t want to eat with you.”
Ji Ziming’s mother rolled her eyes at this woman and proceeded to embarrass her.
“…” The latter just kept smiling, albeit her smile dimmed a little.
This d*mn old woman! I’ve done nothing bad in front of her and always acted obedient when she’s around; why does she dislike me so?!
Hmph! One day, I’ll be married to Ji Ziming. See if I don’t disgust you every day!
Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyun’s smile grew wider.
“Auntie, following etiquette, I must pay you a visit since I’m back from overseas.”
The two were vexed to hear her endless rambling about wanting to stay.
Before they could speak, though, their son spoke ahead!
“Alright, Jingyun. You’ve seen them already. You can leave now.”
The woman’s bright smile froze instantly.
She had never expected him to say that.
Unlike her frozen expression, the man’s mother was visibly pleased.
Her anger was replaced by a brilliant smile.
“Ha ha!”
She laughed aloud. From the curve of her brows, it was obvious that her mood had been uplifted.
Of course, it was truly as thus.
Well done, son!
She cheered in her heart.
“Ziming…” Qiao Jingyun pouted, her eyes were filled with grievances.
Although she acted aggrieved and pitiful, it did not work on the man.
Regardless of whether it was in the past or at present, her pitiful appearance was useless when it came to him. Nonetheless, thinking that it was effective, she always loved to use this tactic.
“Jingyun, you may go home now.”
The man was still expressionless, unbothered by her pitiful look.
Although she was his benefactor, his parents were still more important to him than her.
Of course, if it were to be his girlfriend, he would not be so unfeeling.
In the end, she left Ji family in dejection and vexation.
She again blamed this incident on Pei Ge.
After all, although the man’s parents disliked her before, they would not openly chase her out.
“Miss Qiao, please don’t take it to heart. Our madam probably has some misunderstandings about you. It will be fine as long as you clarify it with her.”
She heard a woman’s voice from her side just as she was feeling puzzled.
Lifting her head, she saw the woman guiding her out.
It seems that this woman… can be manipulated!
