“Your good cousin didn’t jump into the trap we dug for her.”

Pei Shishi frowned and asked unhappily, “Now, what?”

She had even sacrificed her fiancé for this woman’s plan, yet she was now telling her that her cousin had not fallen for it. There was no way that she could remain calm at this!

“Hmph! Luckily, I always have a backup plan. Although she didn’t fall for this one, I still have another plan.” Qiao Jingyun’s remained calm despite having a dark look.

What she was vexed about was actually Pei Ge not following her script.

Still, she was used to having many plans and preparations, so even if that woman did not fall for her trick by accepting the project, it did not cause much trouble for her ultimate plan and goal.

“Backup plan? What the hell are you plotting now?”

Pei Shishi’s heart eased upon hearing this.

Now, she only found the woman sitting opposite her to be frightening.

She was truly unmatchable in terms of plots and schemes.

Even she was uncertain if she could plan to such an extent.

“Forget it. I wanted to tell you about it earlier, but now I’m no longer in the mood to do so. Let’s end this here for now. I’m leaving.”

Qiao Jingyun coldly peered at her with prideful eyes and put down her coffee before standing up.

“Call me if there’s anything.”

She ignored her ugly look and left the coffee house without a backward glance.

Pei Shishi pressed her lips into a straight line and watched the woman leave with an evil glint in her eyes.

“Qiao Jingyun... Qiao Jingyun... you are still the same as ever... always looking down on me,” she mockingly muttered under her breath.

You seem to have forgotten that I’m one of your scheme’s victims. Do you think that, under that circumstance, I won’t hold back a trick or two from you?

Thinking up to this, smugness appeared on her face.

Her hand, which was holding the coffee before, gently caressed the small and exquisite rose brooch on her chest.

This time, you’ll be my stepping stone!

Even if Ji Ziming doesn’t like me and doesn’t become my man, he will also never be yours!

Even without my cousin, you won’t ever become his wife!

...

Days slowly ticked by.

While Pei Ge was busy with her new project, Qiao Jingyun’s apparel store officially opened.

Even if his girlfriend was not there, he still attended the opening ceremony as promised.

However, although he went, he only showed his face for a bit before hastily leaving.

Still, it drew quite the attention to Qiao Jingyun’s store as it let many people in the capital know that, even though he already had a girlfriend, he still cared for this benefactor of his.

Hence, her apparel shop’s launching was quite a success.

She majored in fashion design in New York. Other than being a trendy individual, she also had quite a talent for designing.

She had no lack of manpower or resources, too; hence, her eponymous apparel store quickly gained fame in the capital.

It was hailed as one of the fashion brands in the capital, with the rich and famous requesting for custom-made designs.

Business was steadily growing, and at this rate, according to her plans, it would soon become a listed company.

...

Pak!

Screams followed after the popping of a champagne bottle.

“Boss, we really don’t want you to leave.”

“That’s right; that’s right! Can you not leave? We like you your management.”

Within Jiaheng Real Estate’s office, a group of people were holding champagne glasses. Although they were dressed differently, they all looked at the same person with some reluctance.

Sweeping her eyes across these people, who had worked alongside her for some time, Pei Ge smiled and said, “I can’t help it. I’m not a proper CFO of this company from the start.”

She was just a lowly assistant. Even if it sounded unbelievable, in the end, she managed to accomplish the task Ji Ziming’s father had given her.

“I can only go back since the headquarters is requesting my return. Thank you all for your care and cooperation this entire time. Truly, thank you!”

She then dipped her head and gave everyone a sincere bow.

Today was her departure from Tianjin and return to the capital.

Although she was unwilling to part with these great subordinates, the desire to see her darling boyfriend was greater!

Hence, despite everyone’s reluctance to part and well wishes, she left Jiaheng and prepared to depart from Tianjin.

Once she was done packing her luggage in her studio apartment, she readied herself to leave this city for the capital and give Ji Ziming a surprise.

In the end, when she went downstairs, she spotted the chauffeur who had initially brought her to Tianjin. Driving the same car, the chauffeur was there to fetch her.

“Miss Pei, I’m here under master’s order to bring you back to the capital.”

“...” She stared at the chauffeur in a black suit for moment and finally nodded before getting into the car with the chauffeur’s help.

“Does Ji Ziming know that I’m coming back today?” she asked, feeling a little gloomy. She wanted to give him a surprise!

“No. Young master wasn’t informed about this.”

This reply swept away the gloominess in her heart as her good mood returned.

That’s great! It’s great that he doesn’t know, or else, I will be unable to give my darling boyfriend a surprise!

Still, why did his father have someone get me?

Don’t tell me that he’s thought of another method to separate me and Ziming?!

Hmm! His father shouldn’t be that kind of person! Back then, he clearly said that he’ll let me be with his son as long as I complete that mission he gave me. Also, since both our parents have met, there should be no further resistance.

Hence, amid her uneasiness, the car quickly entered the capital and made its way to the Ji family villa...
