“Cough, cough, cough!” Looking at the other’s stunned expression, Ji Lelin knew that the woman had gotten the wrong idea about her. “Hey! Don’t go imagining things. I didn’t bring my sister here; she received an invitation as well.”

Pei Ge nodded plainly at her words.

“I’ve heard a lot about Miss Pei, and you’re definitely as beautiful as they said.” Ji Leli’s lips curled into a dashing smile.

If it were not for her lacking an Adam’s apple, nobody would suspect that she was a woman.

“Er...”

For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable when the woman said that.

“Miss Ji, you’re too kind.”

“Sister Pei Ge, I’ll introduce the others to you...”

Following that, Qin Qitong began bringing her up to speed on the background of everyone attending her hen party.

Pei Ge was stunned when the girl was done introducing everyone’s background.

She really did not expect that Lily was not exaggerating. All those attending her party were really prominent figures.

At least, they were more high profile than the self-proclaimed socialites like Pei Shishi and Qiao Jingyun... and were a lot easier to get along as well.

Cough, cough. Maybe this was on the account that she was Ji Ziming’s fiancée?

“Actually, it’s a tad boring having your party here.”

“Yeah, the last time I attended one, they invited a bunch of hunks! Tsk, tsk, tsk. That’s quite an unhinged party.”

As she listened to the people’s conversation while they drank, her mouth could not help twitching a little.

Alright. These socialites were no better than those playboys.

“Pei Ge, how did you and Ji Ziming meet and how did you become an item? Why don’t you tell us about it?”

“Yeah! Even though they are rumors going around, we think it’s best to hear it directly from you! It’s more accurate this way!”

“Since we don’t have anything to do, why don’t we play a game of true or dare?”

“Sure, sure!”

Given that there would always be the life of the party in a group, everyone quickly got on the same page and started taking part in a seemingly intense game of truth or dare.

Just as the group sat down on the sofa and was preparing to get into the game, they saw a woman in a long white dress walking in.

“Qiao Jingyun?”

“Why are you here?!”

Shock appeared on everyone’s faces when they saw the face of the woman who had entered.

No one expected her to show up at Pei Ge’s hen party.

Everyone in their circle knew that this woman had feelings for Ji Ziming. She had even once proclaimed herself as the man’s girlfriend.

Thus, it was slightly creepy for her to attend the bride-to-be’s bachelorette party!

Thinking about it now...

“How did you get in here? I don’t think we invited you!” asked Qin Qitong warily as she eyed the woman.

She knew how much her uncle and aunt disliked this woman. Besides, this was a gathering organized especially for the couple. How could her name be on the guest list?

“He he! Sorry to disappoint you, but I do have an invitation.”

As she spoke, Qiao Jingyun took out a white invitation card from her purse and waved it at everyone with a smile.

“... It can’t be. Why would auntie give you an invitation? Besides, your status isn’t high enough...”

Even though the girl said this in a mumble, her voice was heard clearly by the woman in question.

The woman’s lips curled up a little as she replied in a voice with a hint of craziness, “He he! My status might not be high enough to be here, but don’t forget that I’m the Ji family’s benefactor.”

Those who were upset with her presence paused when they heard her words. No one said anything more about her lack of qualifications. After all, what she said was true.

She was the savior of the Ji family’s heir, so it made sense that she would be invited.

“I can join you guys now, right?”

Looking at these people’s stiff expression, Qiao Jingyun smiled.

“...”

Even though these socialites did not really welcome her, they could not say anything on account of the invitation the Ji family had sent out.

In an instant, the leisure and relaxed atmosphere in the room was ruined by her arrival.

Pei Ge felt a foreboding as she looked at the woman’s bright smile.

For some reason, this woman always gave off ill-will toward her whenever they met.

This feeling was especially pronounced today.

“Auntie is too much! Of all people, she just had to invite Qiao Jingyun...”

Qin Qitong muttered in frustration as she took in the woman’s smile.

“It’s fine, Qitong. All visitors are our guests,” said Pei Ge with the air of this manor’s lady before grabbing the girl’s arm.

Her words wiped the bright smile from Qiao Jingyun’s face, though.

Looking at the abrupt darkening of the woman’s expression, the girl curled up her lips triumphantly as playfulness flashed in her eyes.

“Right, right, right! All visitors are our guests! Cousin, as the host, you must treat this noble life savior of your ‘husband’ well!”

Listening to the girl’s exaggerated speech, she did not say anything in contradiction but just nodded seriously.

“En. I’ll definitely treat Ziming’s benefactor well. After all, we are a couple; we’re practically the same person.”

As she said that, she looked at the woman with a welcoming expression.

“Miss Qiao, you’re the life savior of my ‘husband’; that makes you my benefactor, too. You make all your needs tonight known to me, and I’ll ensure that each is taken care of.”
