"Okay, second brother. I'll leave this matter to you. Also, I hope that you do it quickly. After all, a long night is fraught with dreams. It won't be good to have an unfortunate, small incident happen."
She was not the least bit surprised that her second brother's attitude would change this quickly.
"Rest assured; I only need two days at most to know everything about Pei Ge."
"Okay."
She hung up after giving that order to her second brother.
Standing before her apartment's floor-to-ceiling window, she eyed the lush and verdant greenery outside. Her lips curled into a cold smile as her eyes shone darkly.
Pei Ge, even if you are truly as I suspected, that will merely be a catalyst to your death to me and to Ziming.
"Pei Ge… looks like we are truly fated…" she muttered softly. Before she could continue thinking of how to deal with that woman, her phone rang again.
She eyed the caller ID displayed and cocked an eyebrow.
"Pei Shishi… your call is truly very timely."
She coldly smirked before answering the call.
"Hello."
"Qiao Jingyun, I saw Ji Ziming's mother and my big auntie at the shopping mall together."
She rolled her eyes at the woman's opening line.
"Oh."
Her nonchalant reply caused the other to grit her teeth. "What about your promise when you asked me to work with you?! You said that you'll destroy Pei Ge and make her into a sewer rat, but what now?!
"Not only is she everyone's target of envy, her life is as smooth-sailing, and comfortable, as the spring breeze! Her betrothal gifts alone are something normal people, or even some rich people, can only ever imagine!"
Her jealousy made Qiao Jingyun nudge her lips in disdain.
This unsightly woman is so short-sighted; no wonder Ziming doesn't have a good impression of her. It's also no wonder her fiance was easily snatched away by her meritless cousin!
"How many times have I told you already to take it easy, yet you're actually still panicking like that?"
ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom "You don't have a fiance who called off your engagement, so of course you're not worried! I have nothing left now!"
Pei Shishi's voice was overflowing with regret.
If not because she was still anticipating the ending of her cousin that this woman talked about, she would likely already have a meltdown from regret.
Even though the man she liked was Ji Ziming, Zhou Zhuoyang was still her next best option for a husband.
This man could be easily persuaded and was gentle. He was even the easiest person to deceive and to control.
If not for Qiao Jingyun, he would not have easily escaped from her control!
However, in order to deal with her cousin, she lost him and became a joke in the circle.
That was why she was this unsettled and panicky.
It was all merely because of jealousy and hate…
"So? You want to see your cousin flop like a dead fish fast? You want to see her be ruined by me?"
Qiao Jingyun coldly smirked before continuing viciously, "Even after ten years, you are still as dumb as ever. To tell you frankly, you truly can't compare to your cousin. If I were him, I'd likely also like your cousin instead of a dumb woman like you."
"Qiao Jingyun! You!"
Her words thoroughly agitated Pei Shishi.
Still, before she could speak further, the other cut her off.
"Don't worry. I still plan to deal with your cousin even without you. Plus, her ending will be even more terrible that what you're thinking, so don't always look for me over these things. I will just get annoyed."
She studied her crystal nails and blew on them, her eyes shining with disdain.
"You always tell me that, but until now, I still don't know your real plan!" The other woman could obviously sense her disdain as she said this through gritted teeth.
"I've always been a cautious person, so I alone know of this kind of important plan. As for the people involved in each part of this plan, they only need to know what they must do."
With this coordinated series of schemes, no one will be able to leak or interrupt my plan.
Even Fu Mingxuan only knows part of it.
Other than me, no one else knows about my plan!
"Fine! But you should at least give me a rough time frame!"
"Time frame? Relax; this will definitely be before those two's wedding day."
"… That's akin to saying nothing."
"Hur hur! It truly doesn't seem like anything, but I can tell you that the couple's wedding ceremony will be announced soon. It won't be more than a month or probably… half a month's time."
"That soon?!"
This news clearly startled the woman on the other end.
"Why? Weren't you anxiously waiting for your cousin's doom?" She snorted mockingly.
"…"
Just as Pei Shishi moved to hang up after being mocked time and again, she suddenly heard the other speak of something.
"Oh, right. I heard that your cousin suffered from selective amnesia."
This statement seemed innocuous and spoken out of boredom, but she intuitively knew that this woman was not the type to broach inconsequential topic.
"Yes, why? What are you asking this for?" she asked, feeling perplexed.
"Hur hur… Nothing. I just heard that she still hasn't recovered her memory even now, so I find it quite interesting."
The woman's laughter sounded indifferent.
"Oh… really?"
She felt that there was something off with this, but she could not find a link between this woman and her cousin's memory loss.
"Why? Is this something unspeakable?"
"Of course, it's not. After my cousin got discharged from the hospital, she lived at our house and slept in the same bed with me," she mockingly said, "so I didn't expect that even after my family helped hers a lot back then, she still came back to bite us in the butt. Not only did she snatch my fiance, she made the Ji family view mine with much hate. She truly is an ingrate."
Qiao Jingyun coldly sneered at this.
"Alright. Do you really think I don't know what you and your family are like? Forget it; I can't be bothered to chat nonsense with you."
With that, she quickly hung up the call.
Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Pei Shishi's face instantly turned dark.
Why did that woman suddenly bring up my cousin's amnesia… Is there something up with that that I don't know about?
