Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What did Mu Heng mean by that? Why did he call my cousin a big princess and say that I am unlucky for having Pei Shishi as my cousin?

“That pretentious princess is evidently behind that office rumor about Little Chili and the one who instructed Liu Yue to post that fabricated information about Little Chili. Tsk! I think that foolish young lady, Little Chili, is probably still denying this to herself and is even making excuses for that big princess’s misconduct.”

She immediately felt sheepish when she heard this.

She did not expect that this cheeky Casanova to be so discerning and actually see through her thoughts.

Still, she now got proof that her cousin and the two men inside knew one another.

The three knew one another, and these two men did not have a good impression of her cousin.

If that were not the case, Mu Heng would not call her cousin a pretentious big princess.

“Heh heh... Ziming, you are still as charming as ever! Pei Shishi, that woman, has left our circle in that pathetic manner. I thought that she would know to give up with her wits. Who knows that she will be petty enough to do that to her cousin for your sake? Tsk, tsk, tsk! What a beguiling man you are... How beguiling, indeed!”

“Shut up!”

She widened her eyes in surprise when she heard his words.

It really is as I’ve guessed, huh! My cousin and Ji Ziming truly have that kind of connection. Ji Ziming seems to be repulsed by Pei Shishi, yet my cousin still joined forces with Liu Yue to bully me for him!

She felt very disappointed with her cousin for some reason. Although she had guessed it already, she still felt extremely discomfited when her conjecture was proven correct.

It was just a man – one she did not even have a relationship...

To think she treasures a man more than our sisterhood.

“Ziming, that big princess is bullying your person like that, so how do you plan to deal with her?”

Pei Ge, who was feeling downcast and heartbroken, felt shocked when she heard Mu Heng’s question.

Ji Ziming’s person? Are they talking about me? Since when did I become a person of his? Wu... Does this Casanova mean that I am Ji Ziming’s person since I am his employee?

She blinked her eyes and waited for the man’s reply for a long while, yet she did not hear him reply. Just as she thought he would ignore Mu Heng’s negligible question, he spoke softly and coldly, “Heh...” He harrumphed and then said, “Pei Family seems to be fighting with other real estate companies over a big project...”

Although the rest of his words were left unsaid, she still got the gist of it and thought that her second uncle’s family would be out of luck soon.

“Puh! And you still claim that you don’t care about Little Chili? Look at you now; Pei Shishi actually failed in her vile scheme, yet she is about to suffer from your hands still,” Mu Heng teased Ji Ziming relentlessly while laughing uncontrollably.

Pound, pound! Pei Ge’s pathetic heart inexplicably started thumping fast at Mu Heng’s words.

Wha – What – What?! Ji Ziming, this annoying fellow, cares about me?

“... I only dislike people who scheme against me.” After a pregnant pause, Ji Ziming’s cold voice entered her ears.

Subsequently, her erratically beating heart calmed down.

That’s right. How can this annoying fellow be concerned about me? He only wants to take responsibility because he feels bad that his love life unintentionally harmed someone else.

She no longer wanted to eavesdrop on them, so she quickly stepped into the ward.

“Tsk. You can just...” Mu Heng trailed off when he saw her walk in and forcefully swallowed his words.

She silently glanced at the two men without any expression.

“He he... Little Chili, you’re here... I was just talking to Ziming about you. Did you hear us?” He grinned while approaching her, seemingly wanting to check if she had heard anything.

She hesitated slightly at that. They were actually not conversing about any secrets, but it still did not seem right for her to have eavesdropped outside for so long.

“I heard a little.” She considered for a while before giving this partly truthful answer.

“Yo, which bit did you hear?” Mu Heng’s eyes shone. “Did you hear me say that CEO Ji likes you or did you hear CEO Ji say that he doesn’t like you?” Mu Heng was the type to stir trouble, so he did not mince with his words.

Ji Ziming, who was standing at the size and frowning at her sudden appearance, emitted a cold aura when he heard his best friend ask this question!

If looks could kill, Mu Heng would probably drop dead just as he was speaking the first half of his question.

Even if looks could not kill, she was sure that Mu Heng would definitely be unable to live the following days comfortably.

Perhaps, because Mu Heng also realized this, he quickly rested his idea of teasing her and pulling Ji Ziming’s leg. He retracted his despicable look and put on a solemn expression, instead.

“Little Chili, Pei Shishi is your cousin, right?”

“Yes, do you guys know her?” Although she had already heard Mu Heng and Ji Ziming say that they knew her cousin, she still wanted to hear it from them face to face.

“Of course, we know her! Our relationship with her goes way back!” With a curl of his lips, Mu Heng gave a naughty smile.

However, for some reason, to Pei Ge, Mu Heng’s naughty smile came off as one filled with hostility.

“Little Chili, this young master will tell you this because you are so likable. You should avoid that your cousin, so that you won’t get played by her while still counting money for her,” Mu Heng joked with a grin.

“I believe you already know of your cousin’s involvement in Liu Yue framing you, right?”

“... Yes.” Pei Ge could not help but purse her lips.

When almost all of those around you claim that a certain someone is bad, you should properly consider whether that person you care so much about is really worth your trust.
