“I finally understand,” Ms. Qiu took several deep breaths before speaking, patting Pei Jiale’s shoulder, then thoughtfully asked: “Young man, now, are you still willing to marry my daughter?”
“Aunt, even if I’m willing to marry her, she won’t marry me now.” He looked desperate.
“Just tell me if you’re willing!”
“I’m willing.” He was silent for a moment, then firmly spoke these two words.
“Good!” Ms. Qiu was instantly delighted, “Young man, rest assured, I will properly teach that girl a lesson.”
“Aunt,” he frowned, “Don’t blame Xiao Ting, this is all…”
“All her doing! Hmph, I thought I had an honest and clumsy daughter I could always trust, who knew she could play such tricks that even I can’t catch up with, it’s infuriating! Young man, what’s your name?”
“Me?” Suddenly asking his name? “Pei Jiale.”
“Pei… this name sounds familiar,” Ms. Qiu pondered, “Isn’t it just one character different from the CEO of Tianxing Group?”
“Heh,” he could only bitterly smile and admit, “Aunt, he’s my older brother.”
“You’re the second young master of Tianxing Group?” Ms. Qiu’s mouth was agape in shock, “Why do you look so dirty and smelly?”
“I’ve been staying in the hospital these days, not knowing how Xiao Ting’s condition is, not daring to leave…” he looked a bit embarrassed.
“Oh my, such deep love! My daughter met someone like you and doesn’t know how to cherish it, even wanting to break up?”
Huh? Just moments ago, she was cursing him, so why the sudden 180-degree turn, now praising him?
“Aunt, since you’re here and someone’s taking care of Xiao Ting, I’ll go back first…”
“No, you can’t go!” She strongly blocked him.
“Aunt?” Pei Jiale looked surprised.
“Young Master Pei, if you’re still concerned about the illegitimate child matter, you can stop worrying,” Ms. Qiu smiled and tried to curry favor: “To be honest, Xiao Tong is definitely my own daughter. You were deceived by Yu Ting.
How is this possible?” A lightning bolt thundered through his mind, stunning him! “Yu Ting clearly told me in person…”
