Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 899

Chapter 899: Could Pei Ge be that girl from back then?!

“By the way, that woman and her mother are truly good at sucking up to our young master’s family. Apparently, she got into a car accident that time when young master was kidnapped…” suddenly said Sister Yun out of nowhere.

Having only spoken on a whim, she did not truly take it to heart.

She merely thought that the Pei family was trying to find a common ground with the Ji family by mentioning that.

Still, something she said in spite and on a whim was actually taken to heart by Qiao Jingyun.

“What?! Pei Ge got into a car accident in the past? It’s even that time when Ziming was kidnapped?”

Her tone of voice turned from calm to hurried in an instant.

“Er… yes. Apparently, she had amnesia because of it. I mean, life isn’t a drama. What amnesia? It’s even selective amnesia. What a joke.”

This middle-aged woman snorted in disdain.

What she did not know was that her irresponsible words caused Qiao Jingyun’s head to spin.

“Car accident… amnesia…” More importantly, it’s even close to when Ziming got kidnapped…

Suddenly, she had a ridiculous idea, which also caused her to be flustered.

“Sister Yun, can I trouble you to tell me more about this in detail?”

Her voice became harried as her hands tightened around the phone while she bit down hard on her lower lip.

Ever since she ‘saved’ the man, she had never been this flustered.

“Sigh… What is there to say about this? It’s obvious that that mother-daughter pair made it up. It’s impossible for there to be such a—” coincidence.

Before she could finish speaking, the other’s reaction startled her.

“I want you to tell me what they said in as much detail as possible! Hurry!”

Her soft and gentle voice had all but disappeared, replaced by a sharp and screeching tone.

Her tone had not a shred of gentleness to it as it became fierce and frightening.

“Miss Qiao…”

Sister Yun was of course taken aback by this shocking disparity.

She regained her senses at this, realizing that her attitude had startled the woman, so she hurriedly took a deep breath to compose herself.

“I’m sorry. I was too agitated, but this is really important to me. Please tell me in as much detail you can about that matter. Thank you.”

Her apologetic words made the other sigh in relief.

She did not know the reason for Qiao Jingyun’s reaction or why she minded Pei Ge having an accident and amnesia in the past, but she still recounted the entire scene that she had heard in the dining area to her.

Once she finished telling her about it, the young lady on the other end grew silent for a long time before finally speaking. “I understand, Sister Yun. Thank you.”

For some reason, she sensed the woman’s abnormal behavior.

The young woman’s tone had been very calm and nonchalant from the start, but after she recounted that incident, it somehow turned listless and complex.

“It’s nothing, but… are you okay?” she asked worriedly.

“I’m good; I’m just feeling a little tired.” Qiao Jingyun sounded self-deprecating on the phone as she continued in a depressing tone. “I’ve stayed with the Ji family for years, but auntie and uncle have never been as good to me as they are to Pei Ge…

“Clearly, that woman has ulterior motives and is full of lies, but why do uncle and auntie still like her so much…”

Her words struck Sister Yun’s heart.

This middle-aged woman actually thought the same. She had not been fond of that woman ever since she met her while the young master was hospitalized. She even got into an argument with her.

She hated her even more now.

However, for the life of her, she could not fathom why her employers liked that two-faced woman, and this brought her endless gloominess.

“Miss Qiao, rest assured; My master and madam are clever individuals, so they’ll soon see that woman’s true colors.”

“I hope so, too. Anyway, I’m kind of busy right now so I’ll be hanging up first. I’ll trouble you to let me know if anything happens in the Ji family.”

“Alright. Don’t worry. In my heart, you are the Ji family’s true future young mistress!”

…

After hanging up the call, a viciousness loomed over Qiao Jingyun’s pretty features, which made her look like a frightening female ghost.

“How could it be this coincidental… Could Pei Ge be that girl?”

The furrow between her eyebrows deepened as her eyes became filled with inexplicable fluster and hate.

“Impossible! There’s no such coincidence in the world! Plus… Plus…”

After so many years, the truth has already been buried, right?

Still, why? Why do I have this ominous feeling after hearing Sister Yun’s words?

If Pei Ge is really that little girl from back then, then it makes sense that Ji Ziming will like that meritless woman.

After all, I myself know how much he cares for that little girl.

But…

She bit down on her lower lip and shifted her gaze onto her phone.

Narrowing her eyes, she finally made a call.

“Second brother, I want you to help me investigate a person.”

With a somber expression, she told the person on the other end.

“What person?” asked a young man’s voice.

“A woman.”

“Who?”

“That online celebrity, Ji Ziming’s fiancée.”

The man on the other end fell silent for a long time.

“Little sister, I actually think that since our Qiao family is doing well now, we don’t have to join the fight for the Ji family’s young mistress position. After all, if we fail, the consequences aren’t something our family can bear.”
