Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 900
Chapter 900: I am not Ji Ziming’s savior.
“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.”
“Hur hur! Second brother, why are you still so ‘timid’? If we succeed, then our family will officially step into aristocracy, unlike now where even the upstarts can mock us behind our backs.”
She scoffed in disdain.
“You think that our family is already well-to-do, but without the Ji’s backing, the Qiao is nothing!”
“… But, little sister, you are the savior of the Ji family’s heir. As long as you have that identity, even if you don’t marry into that family, they will forever be our backing,” reasoned the man calmly. From his speech, it could be seen that he was neither a dumb nor a timid person.
Rather, he was very smart and rational.
His thought was not wrong; alas, her next words made him change his mind.
“The savior of the Ji family’s heir…” she softly muttered, smirking. “Second brother, do you really think that I’m a righteous and simple-minded girl who will bravely put my life on the line for someone else?”
“… Qiao Jingyun, what do you mean by that?!”
The soft-spoken man suddenly began to sound panicky.
He even stopped addressing her as ‘little sister’ and called her by her full name, instead.
“What do I mean? You should be very clear about that. Didn’t you guys suspect me of not saving anyone back then?” Her lips curled up mockingly as she continued coldly. “What I mean now is exactly what you are thinking and is also what you guys suspected back then.”
“You! Don’t take this joke too far!”
“Second brother, I used to think that you’re quite clever; now… I realize that you’re actually as dumb as big brother.”
She mocked the man when he refused to believe her despite her putting it out in the open this clearly for him.
“You… really didn’t save Ji Ziming back then?”
After the man took some time to calm down, his voice finally regained his earlier steadiness.
“Yes, I’ve never been foolish enough to save others by sacrificing myself.”
I value my life very much, so I will only move to harm others but never to save them!
That’s why, when I was drawn into that incident back then, I didn’t even hesitate to push that fool into the crossfire. Who knew that harming someone could give me this good outcome? Indeed, people should do bad deeds!
Look; I did something bad but still received good karma, while that girl did something good yet received retribution.
She thought that, since it had been so many years, that girl would be either dead or handicapped.
After all, she had witnessed those heartless criminals throw that extremely beautiful little girl from the speeding car and even hit her with it.
Hence, she had always assumed that that girl was dead.
Today… Sister Yun’s words made alarm bells ring in her head.
Although Pei Ge’s current appearance could not match that stunning little girl’s, her dolled-up beautiful look truly slightly resembled that little girl from back then.
“… Why are you making me investigate Ji Ziming’s fiancée, then? Could his fiancée…” Be the real girl who had saved him back then?
The man refused to voice out the rest of his question, fearing that saying it aloud would make it come true.
“That’s right. I heard some news today, which caused me to think that she may be that little girl.”
“… Are you for real about his fiancée likely being that little girl who saved him at that time?”
The man seemed to be unwilling to believe this.
However, her ruthless words smashed his hesitation apart.
“Yes, I suspect that she is. Second brother, don’t delay this further. I won’t be requesting this from you if not for fear of any private investigator I hire revealing it.”
She started feeling annoyed when her second brother continued dragging this out.
“Okay, I’ll help you investigate this.”
The man finally relented and accepted this fact that he did not want to admit.
“But if… if we really find out that she’s the girl from back then, what do you intend to do?”
“What do I intend to do?” She raised an eyebrow. She had already dispersed the fluster and panic in her heart from before.
Just like how she found this to be too coincidental, the people who knew the truth back then would also not link this incident to Pei Ge.
This was especially since she still had an absolute trump card!
“Of course, it’s to chase her out of Ji Ziming’s life. I’ll make her disappear without a trace and be unable to appear before me annoyingly ever again.”
She coldly smirked as she gave this firm reply.
“Still, little sister, this will be hard to do. After all, Ji Ziming likes his fiancée a lot.”
“Hur hur. No matter how much love there is, after an unforgivable betrayal, it will still become hate and resentment.”
Her lips curled up into a triumphant smile as she revealed a determined expression.
“Okay, I understand. If you need anything else, just give me a call.”
“Hur hur! Second brother, I wonder who was trying to stop me from breaking up those two earlier. Why have you suddenly changed?”
She nudged her lips mockingly. That’s why I say that all those righteous worldviews are just lies and façades!
People will always be fickle-minded when it concerns their welfare.
“Little sister, I suddenly think that it will be a pity for a woman like you not to marry into an aristocratic family like the Ji’s.”
The man obviously noted the mockery in her words but did not care one bit.
“Alright, I’ll go investigate this now. Wait for my call once I receive information about it.”
“Okay, second brother. I’ll leave this matter to you. Also, I hope that you do it quickly. After all, a long night is fraught with dreams. It won’t be good to have an unfortunate, small incident happen.”
