Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 814
Chapter 814: You are behind Pei Shishi’s engagement being annulled.
After hugging for a half an hour and at her mother’s urging, she reluctantly parted with him.
She got to her home and was about to fish out her keys when she noticed that the door to the apartment was already unlocked
“Ge Ge, you’re finally home!”
Her mother glared at her before quickly pulling her in.
“Hey, mom; what’s wrong? Did something happen? Why did you ask me to return home quickly?”
She asked her mother who was clearly under pressure.
After closing the door, her mother started yammering.
“Your cousin dropped by earlier.”
She frowned at this.
“Cousin? What did she want?”
She had an ominous feeling.
That woman is certainly up to no good for coming here!
Indeed, she did not guess wrongly as her mother’s next words made her frown deeper.
“Sigh! Your cousin said that Zhou Zhuoyang decided to annul their engagement. The wedding in May was canceled, too!”
Her mother sighed, looking at her hesitantly.
“Canceled?!”
Her lips moved slightly as her forehead scrunched up.
Inexplicably, she recalled the man’s words that night.
‘Pei Ge, if you want to, I’m willing to call off the wedding…’
Are you serious?! Did that jerk really call off his wedding with cousin for me?!
That… That should be impossible!
I didn’t even mention anything about calling off the wedding! In fact, I didn’t say anything that’d make him misunderstand!
“Do you know anything about this? Have you known since before that that jerk was planning to cancel the wedding?!”
Her mother, who was observing her expression this whole time, saw clearly the surprise and conflict that fleeted across her face.
Feeling a little flustered, Zhang Manhua frowned. Could Shishi’s earlier words be the truth?
If it’s as she claimed, that for the sake of revenge, my daughter…
N-No! That’s impossible!
She fervently shook her head to deny this and decided to discard that assumption.
Still, although she trusted her daughter, she still asked her to be sure.
Pei Ge watched her mother shake her head and gaze at her solemnly, asking, “Mom, what’s wrong?”
Her mother sighed heavily.
“Let me ask you. Do you have anything to do with that man canceling the wedding with your cousin?”
Zhang Manhua looked at her daughter nervously, wanting to hear her resolutely deny it.
However…
This hope was dashed when her daughter did not deny her involvement at once.
On top of looking hesitant, her daughter did not speak for a long time.
Seeing her daughter like this, she felt her heart jump.
Could Pei Shishi’s claim be… true, after all?!
Her eyes darkened instantly.
Although their relatives had done bad things to them, they had still taken care of them in these past few years.
While it was true that the man was her daughter’s boyfriend once and he did let her daughter down, that did not seem to be related to her niece.
More importantly, that man and her niece had held such a grand engagement ceremony in front of so many people.
If the wedding was canceled because of her daughter’s involvement, her daughter would be labeled by other people as a third party!
Since the main party involved was her niece, her daughter would even be called an ingrate!
Anyway, if this were all true, her daughter’s reputation would be at stake!
“Pei Ge, why did you make such a mistake?! How can you do those things?! No matter how much you hate your ex-boyfriend or resent your cousin, you still can’t do things like destroying other people’s marriage!”
She raised her head and heavily hit her daughter in the arm with a very bitter and ugly expression.
Pei Ge was jolted out of her contemplation by her mother’s action.
“Mom, why did you hit me? What marriage did I destroy?”
She blinked. Covering the spot her mother had hit her, she stared at her mother with bewilderment.
What kind of nonsense did cousin tell mom this time?! Why is mom so agitated?!
“Your cousin came by and said that it’s all your fault! She said that that jerk canceled their marriage to marry you!”
Zhang Manhua angrily glared at her daughter.
However, when she saw her daughter’s innocent look, she became a little more hopeful.
My daughter might not have done such!
“…” Pei Ge’s lips twitched as she felt exasperated inside.
“Cousin told you that?”
“Yes. She came crying to me about this, looking very upset. Quickly tell me if you are related to it in any way.”
Her mother urged her anxiously. “Be honest with me; your second auntie will likely come to our house tomorrow to look for trouble!”
Belying her mother’s nervousness, she calmly opened her mouth. “I am indeed a little involved in this matter…”
“What?! You are really involved in this?!”
Zhang Manhua had a look of disbelief, feeling worried and disappointed inside.
“Say; how could you do something like that?! What do you want your cousin to do, and what position are you placing Xiao Ji in?!”
