She looked at the middle-aged lady in a black dress.

It turned out to be Sister Yun who had close ties with the Ji family.

This woman was neither a nanny nor a housekeeper in this household.

In ancient times, she would be considered as a governess.

All in all, this woman was no average servant, and to the Ji family, she was respectable senior!

This woman, who had looked after Ji Ziming since he was a child, was greatly valued for her ability to make delicious, nutritious dishes.

She remembered that, when she was first brought to the Ji household, she was pleasantly surprised by the mouth-watering dishes made by this person.

Nonetheless, after enjoying all the gourmet made by top chefs for years, she now disdained her nutritious meals.

Still, this woman was personally seeing her out and even comforting her...

Qiao Jingyun’s lips curled into a light smile. With grievous face, she gently said, “Yes, I’m also thinking that uncle and auntie are misunderstanding me.”

Seeing her mustering up her courage, Sister Yun became more certain that their family’s master and madam had misunderstood this lady.

“I never imagined that, upon my return from New York, not just uncle and auntie, even Ziming would treat me... coldly. ”

She teared up, seemingly feeling utterly wronged.

Sighing, she added, “Perhaps it’s because his girlfriend dislikes me...”

Listening to her words, Sister Yun’s brows knitted tightly as a sudden realization came to her.

“Are you talking about Miss Pei? He he! She’s indeed not simple.”

From the moment she met that plain-looking woman at the hospital, she disliked her for her timid and petty personality.

However, it was precisely this woman, whom she looked down on, that became their young master’s girlfriend. Their madam even began choosing an auspicious date for their engagement. She was truly disappointed by it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

That woman is no match for Miss Qiao, who risked her life just to save young master back then!

That woman has average looks and family background. She must be after the wealth of young master’s family.

How is she worthy of young master?

How can she compare to the woman who saved young master’s life?

When she heard this old woman’s words, Qiao Jingyun’s eyes shone with happiness.

He he! It seems that Pei Ge has bad blood with this old woman!

This is great! She was still worrying over the fact that nobody from the Ji household was helping her out.

“What’s wrong with her? I heard that she’s pretty nice and Ziming likes her a lot. It’s just that she’s a little petty and doesn’t want me around your young master.”

She smiled, looking all innocent and without ill will.

Her innocent appearance fooled the old woman into thinking that Pei Ge was the schemer while Qiao Jingyun was the victim.

“What’s so good about her? She’s just someone who won over our madam and young master with her schemes. I have a feeling that even the master is changing his opinions about her.”

The old woman scoffed in disdain.

In her eyes, that plain woman was unworthy of her young master, yet that detestable woman was about to be part of the Ji family as the young mistress. How could she possibly stomach that?

“Miss Qiao, you shouldn’t be too anxious. It is likely that my three charges are treating you coldly because of that woman.”

She looked at this lady before her with sympathy, baffled on why her young master would pick an average and scheming woman over such a high-class lady.

“Sister Yun, look at what you’re saying. I trust that Ziming’s girlfriend isn’t that kind of woman. If not, why would the Jis like her?”

Qiao Jingyun upped her pretense after hearing this old woman’s remarks.

“Aiyo, my lady! How can you be so innocent? No wonder the master and madam treat you like this. Since I watched you grow up, I will keep a look out for you...”

As this old woman promised her that, Qiao Jingyun only appeared more innocent and confused. In her heart, however, she was brimming with joy.

I found myself an idiot to take advantage of!

Tsk, tsk, tsk! I didn’t make a wasted trip today, after all!

...

The entire Ji family was oblivious about this exchange between the two women outside.

After Qiao Jingyun left, the man’s mother pulled a face and chided, “Ming Ming, why did you bring that woman here? Aren’t you afraid that our Ge Ge will get jealous?!”

“Will she, even if it’s just like this?”

The man furrowed his brows in puzzlement when he heard his mother’s words.

“Certainly, she will! Do you think you can bring women home any woman? Jeez.”

He started to reflect on himself upon hearing her reply.

“Tell me honestly; who do you care more about, Ge Ge or Jingyun?”

She was triggered by him bringing that woman to their home, afraid that her precious son would get cheated.

Therefore, she was now doing her best to immunize him.

“What kind of question is this?” He arched a brow. He did not think that it needed to be asked!

“Answer me quickly!” His mother hurried him when he did not give a definite answer.

Although his father, who was next to his mother, kept his silence, his gaze on him betrayed his real thoughts.

Without thinking, he told his parents, “Of course, it’s Pei Ge.”

While Qiao Jingyun was his benefactor, Pei Ge held greater importance to him!

“What if those two fell into the water, who would you save first?”

“...”
