Chapter 886: Danger gradually approaches...

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pei Ge was looking at Ji Lelin suspiciously, trying to figure out her intention, when she saw the latter walk to her with a serious expression.

“No matter what you think, I really have something important to tell you.”

Judging from this woman’s serious expression, she reckoned that she was overthinking things.

Perhaps, she really did have an important matter to tell her.

“What exactly do you want to tell my sister that you can’t say in front of us?”

Qin Qitong frowned at the woman. Because of her bad impression of this woman, she suspected her of wanting to bully her friend.

“This has nothing to do with you.” Ji Lelin scoffed, her serious expression turning into one of mockery.

“You...”

“It’s fine, Qitong. She might really have some business with me,” interrupted Pei Ge with a shake of her head.

She then looked at Ji Ziming when the girl obediently stopped talking.

“I’ll have a private chat with Miss Ji. Wait for me here, and I’ll be right back.”

She smiled at him.

The man nodded. Even though he was a little unwilling, he did not say anything against it.

He settled with glaring at Ji Lelin warningly.

The woman panicked a little when the man glared at her.

She immediately began regretting her decision.

If I knew that this would happen, I wouldn’t approach Pei Ge directly. I would’ve sent a text, instead!

Even though she regretted it a little, she still left with her.

Against the dark night sky and bright lights, Pei Ge looked as if she had just stepped out of an oil painting in her red cheongsam.

Ji Lelin’s features were nearly as delicate as hers with makeup, but for some reason, she still paled in comparison to the latter.

Looking at the glowing and eye-catchingly beautiful woman, for the first time in her life, she felt overshadowed.

“Miss Ji, what did you want to tell me?”

Pei Ge called out to her when she saw the latter looking depressed after staring at her.

This question jolted Ji Lelin out of her trance.

She then glared at the woman before her. Hmph! Her beauty’s all because of the makeup! She’s not even as pretty as I am!

Pei Ge blinked confusedly when she received the other’s undeserved glare.

“Miss Ji—”

Before she could speak further, the other interjected.

“Don’t talk. I don’t want to say much to you. I called you over to warn you. You’d better be careful in the future, and try not to leave home if you can,” warned the woman.

She paused a little when she heard her warning.

“Ah? I don’t follow you.”

“Are you dumb? Isn’t it clear from my words? Someone can’t stand you, and they want to get rid of you!”

The other woman rolled her eyes when she showed incomprehension.

“If it weren’t for me not wanting you to separate with Ji Ziming, I wouldn’t bother telling you about this!”

If this woman got dumped by that man, Wen Qimo, whom she had finally managed to get her hands on, might return to this woman’s side.

Thus, she coud not let this woman break up with Ji Ziming!

Pei Ge was not dumb. She did not understand it before because this woman was telling her this out of the blue, but she quickly wrapped her head around it thereafter.

“Are you saying that someone is out to get me – to separate Ziming and I?”

She looked at her with a frown, her voice sounding urgent.

“What did you see? Who’s out to get me?”

“Hmph!”

Ji Lelin scoffed and raised her chin when she noted that this woman’s tone finally had a sense of urgency.

“Who else can it be? Of course, it’s that self-proclaimed upstart ‘girlfriend’ of Ji Ziming, Qiao Jingyun!”

Her voice was full of distaste. Clearly, she looked down on that woman.

“Of course, it’s her...”

Pei Ge was not surprised to hear that name from her.

How could that woman have gotten over it so quickly? Her kindness, friendliness, and sincerity – all of it was just a pretense!

Everything she did was an act to desensitize Ziming and me!

“What did you see or hear? How does she... intend to get rid of me?”

She knitted her brows tightly together. It was a terrible feeling to know that someone was plotting against her behind her back.

“I didn’t really hear anything. I just happened to see your cousin with that woman talking on my way to the washroom.

“I didn’t really get any details, but I definitely heard your name and Zhou Zhuoyang’s name.”

Ji Lelin pouted uncaringly.

It was purely a coincidence. She did not expect to run into those two on her way to the washroom.

However, due to the distance, coupled with those two women’s carefulness by talking in hushed voices, she was unable to hear anything substantial.

“I heard bits of them talking about doing something to you. That Qiao Jingyun has always liked your man. I’m guessing that they’re plotting to dispose of you.”

If it were someone else, she would not be bothered to say anything, not without concrete evidence first.

However, since this concerned her happiness as well, she decided to warn her and remind her to be careful despite the lack of evidence.

“You’d better be careful. That woman is not ordinary.”
