“So don’t reject me, okay?”

In that instant, Pei Ge felt bewitched.

She understood that accepting his help would anger Ji Ziming, but she still nodded in assent.

“Okay...” She spoke slowly and gently bit down on her lower lip while looking at Fu Mingxuan.

“Senior, I’ll trouble you with helping me investigate this matter.”

“Yes, leave it to me.” The man nodded with a gentle smile.

She also smiled lightly in response to his sincere smile. “Senior, thank you. Thank you for being willing to help me.”

“This is nothing. It’s no big deal, anyway.” He waved it off with a nonchalant smile. “Just relax and leave it to me. I’ll definitely help you to investigate the truth quickly.”

“But...”

Despite him saying as thus, she still did not believe that all would work out easily.

After all, back then, even the police failed to discover that her father had been murdered.

Without any evidence or witness... how could this matter be investigated so quickly?

Even if it was truly investigated clearly, could she send the person who had murdered her father to jail?

“There are no ‘buts’; just put your trust in me, and I’ll help you catch the culprit...”

The two sat in the coffeehouse and chatted for some time, only ending this topic when it was close to dinnertime.

“Ge Ge, it’s already late; you must be hungry. I’ll treat you to dinner.” He looked at his watch and gently offered this.

“It’s fine, senior. I promised my mom that I’ll be back for dinner, so I can’t accept your offer,” she rejected, smiling apologetically.

He did not get angry at her rejection and only lightly nodded. “Then, let me send you home.”

“Er... I don’t think it’s on the way; I’ll just grab a cab home!”

She blinked and declined again, feeling slightly awkward.

Although she had accepted his help, she was still a woman who was about to get married, so she should keep a distance from other men!

“Alright. I’m not a monster, so you should stop rejecting me. It’ll be too much if you keep refusing.”

He was not about to let her off the hook easily this time.

At his insistence, she could only get in his car and let him drive her home.

After waving him goodbye, she went upstairs to her home and started looking for her father’s past employees’ numbers.

However, after another round of searching, the contact details she found were still the same as those found by her mother.

“Are you serious? There are only so few contacts of my dad’s employees?”

She threw the old phone book on the floor dejectedly.

This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Zhang Manhua.

Her mother stared at her in exasperation, not understanding what suddenly got into her, and then picked up the phone book.

“Alright. What’s wrong with you recently? Why are you suddenly looking for your dad’s ex-colleagues’ contacts?”

“I was just curious!” she casually lied.

“Curious?” Her mother did not know whether to laugh or cry at this reply.

“You should stop making this din. Rest properly and prepare for your wedding a few days’ time from now.”

‘Wedding, wedding. Mom, you only remember that. It won’t run away. Plus, whether I am ugly or pretty, Ziming will still marry me, so I don’t need to care about it too much!”

Zhang Manhua glared at her daughter in exasperation.

She raised her hand and mercilessly flicked her forehead.

“Aiyo! You’ve become quite arrogant, huh! You are throwing away your image like this just because Xiao Ji likes you! You should properly think; will you feel comfortable standing beside him with the way you are now by then?!”

“Er...” Pei Ge thought about it seriously for a moment and realized that she would be at a disadvantage if that were the case!

“It does sound a little unideal!”

“You know it too, big mistress. I plead you to properly take note of your image. You can’t just neglect your looks just because your fiancé likes you.”

“Although you are dubbed as Cinderella online, you can’t be that forever! You should start learning from Lily about how to be a beauty from now on!”

Her mother started nagging at her again.

She felt a headache coming on as she watched her mother’s mouth open and close with no signs of stopping.

“Aiya! Alright, mom. How am I supposed to be a beauty in such a short time? Okay, you should stop worrying if I will be pretty on my wedding day. When the time comes, I’ll have Lily do some magic on me. I won’t be ugly no matter what, so you should stop worrying about me!”

She cheekily hooked her arms through her mother’s and leaned on her shoulder to act cutesy.

This shameless act of hers made the other stop instantly.

Her mother looked at her angrily and amusedly before helplessly flicking her forehead.

“You, sigh! I really don’t know what Xiao Ji sees in you.”

“He he! He sees the kindness and beauty in your daughter!” she shameless boasted.

“Pfft! You’re so thick-skinned!”

“He he! It’s all inherited from you!”

“Scram, scram, scram! I’m going down for line dance.”

“Okay!”

After her mother left, she resumed digging around to look for phone directory. Alas, even after flipping over every corner of the house, she still could not find the old phone book.

“This is very strange...”

Finding nothing, she realized that something was amiss.

All the old phone books were at home, except for the one she was looking for.

“The phone book can’t possibly grow legs and run, right?”

She had just muttered this when she was stunned by it.

Wait! Grow legs and run?

That’s right! It did grow legs and ran! Otherwise, when all the other phone books are here, why is it the one only gone?!
