The more deeply she pondered, the more infuriated she became. Therefore, when she saw her niece appear before everyone with her arm linked to the man's, she made a beeline for her.
In that moment, Pei Ge looked entirely different from earlier in the day when she was wearing a white wedding dress. Right now, she was wearing a red, formal cheongsam, and her hair was set in an elegant bun by a jade hairpin.
If in the day, she looked like an inviolable fairy from heaven, then wearing that cheongsam now, she was like a sprite.
The exquisite and showy makeup on her face changed her aura, turning it on its head and making her extremely eye-catching.
She was so effortlessly pretty.
Her expressive beauty made her eye-catching when she stood next to Ji Ziming.
Even though a lot of women were jealous that a common-born girl like her could win the love and affection of this man, they must admit that she was really beautiful.
She looked more compatible to the man compared to anyone else when she stood next to him.
"… Thank you, CEO Wang."
Staying by his side, she drank glass after glass of water, which she passed off as liquor, as they accepted toasts from others.
Although the man did not want to take her with him for the toasts because he was afraid that she would be tired out, she did not want to be a party pooper. Although he was a little unwilling, since everyone was genuinely congratulating them on their engagement, she felt that the least she could do was receive their toasts.
She was about to make a toast to the next person when she saw her second auntie appear before her.
"Second auntie?"
She muttered confusedly when she saw the woman walking toward her angrily.
"What's wrong?"
The man asked softly when he heard her speak.
Before she could reply, her second auntie was already before them.
"You vixen! You ruined your cousin's engagement and you still have the cheek to get engaged with someone else?! You're shameless!"
Her second auntie screeched the moment she approached them.
In that instant, not just Pei Ge, even the surrounding people were stunned.
What did this woman mean by the Ji family's future daughter-in-law ruining her cousin's engagement? Wow, wow, wow. There seems to be a drama happening!
The people then began to pay attention to this.
"Second auntie, what did you just say?" She pinched the skin between her brows, feeling a little unhappy.
No matter what, today was the day her engagement. Besides, she had never done what her second auntie was accusing her of.
"Please mind your words."
The man frowned and stared coldly at the woman who was clearly making a scene.
Liu Yan shuddered uncontrollably when she saw his gaze, but her fear was quickly overwritten by her anger.
"Mind my words? I've paid enough attention to my words! Young master of the Ji family, I've got to say that your taste in women is quite questionable! You actually want to marry such a promiscuous and vicious woman!"
She harangued while pointing at her niece.
"You b*tch, my Pei family has always been nice to you, and after your father died, we provided for you! Be it work or school, you relied on us, but how did you repay us?!
"You seduced your cousin-in-law and made him back out of his engagement right before his marriage! You've really got some tricks up your sleeve! I've never seen such an ingrate like you!"
She did not give the couple a chance to speak. She went on and on sans a regard for her niece's pride or dignity.
Everyone present was shocked by her accusation.
"Who is this woman? She's got some guts, crashing the Ji family's engagement party."
" Sigh! She's the wife of Pei Family Real Estate's CEO and the second auntie of CEO Ji's fiancee."
pαndα-noνɐ1,сoМ "Could it be that this woman was telling the truth?"
"Who knows…"
"If it's true, then that fiancee is really scheming!"
"He he! How could a woman like her, who managed to make her way into the Ji family, be a simpleton?"
…
Listening to the hushed talks around them, Ji Ziming's face grew increasing and dark.
He was about to get security to throw this blabbering woman out when he felt the woman next to him release her grip on his arm. She then took one big step toward Liu Yan.
"Second auntie, I don't know why you'd come to my engagement party and say something like this, but…"
Pei Ge narrowed her eyes at her second auntie coldly and arrogantly.
"… My conscience is clear as I've never done any of the things you accused me of.
"Not mentioning your claims that I came between my cousin's relationship with Zhou Zhuoyang, just the talk that your family has provided for me is a joke!
"That's right! I did live and dine in your place after my father passed away, but don't forget! When we sold that garden bungalow of ours back then, you and second uncle pocketed over a million dollars! That much money should cover the accommodation and food, right?"
She said to Liu Yan, her expression cold and impenetrable.
"You said that you had paid for my education. He he! I still remember that my high school exam results were a lot better than your daughter's, but you told me that girls don't need much education and hinted on multiple occasions that there's not enough money at home. Wasn't that just because you didn't want me to go to a good school? In the end, I paid for my tuition. What does this have to do with you and second uncle?"
As she spoke, she smiled mockingly. She was increasingly realizing that she and her mother were too dumb to have been grateful to such a family for so many years!
"Oh, right. There's one thing you got right. After I graduated, your family did get me a job. I was a negligible small assistant in one of the Pei Family Real Estate's branch offices. I got a salary of 4000 dollars a month, and I've been in the same position even after so many years. Should thank you and second uncle for providing me with such a job?"
