Chapter 1269: You really think that it will stay a secret forever?

“You’re in the wrong here, yet you’re still asking me why? Do you know that, because of you, our family is about to be ruined!”

Bellowing, her father raised his hand to give her a slap, but before the slap could land, his hand was grabbed by her slender one.

Pak! With that sound, she flung away his hand and regarded him coldly.

“Dad, why don’t you say that, if not for me, our family wouldn’t even have this kind of lifestyle?”

Her words succeeded in stunning him.

With a cold smirk, she continued, “Don’t forget who the real owner of this house is.”

Recovering from his shock, he was enraged by her ridicule.

“You really think so highly of yourself! You’d better not forget this, too! Back then, the person who saved Young Master Ji wasn’t you!”

Still feeling so smug about herself, Qiao Jingyun froze.

She had never expected her secret to be found out by her loathsome father!

The change in her expression made the other feel better.

“Stop being so sure about yourself! Who do you think you are? You dared to act this arrogantly in front of me every day; do you think no one would find out about your lie back then? What rubbish! What do you take me for? Don’t I know my daughter? Hmph!” He coldly sneered, shooting her a cutting glare. The look in his eyes was unlike that of a father looking at his daughter.

Rather, it seemed as though she were his enemy.

“Let me tell you this: If not for me, do you think you could live this peacefully? Those kidnappers from back then weren’t going to stay in prison for life! If not for me, do you truly think your secret would remain a secret even today?”

The man’s smug and spiteful tone made her feel as though someone had given her a punch in the face. It made her feel so light-headed that she could not think straight for a moment.

The kidnappers back then... were released?

No, no, no! Impossible! They kidnapped the sole heir to the Ji family! How could they possibly see the light of the day outside prison?!

A-Also, even if they were indeed released, it’s been more than a decade. How could they possibly still remember me?!

“That’s impossible!”

She glared at her father fiercely. It was the first time she had revealed such an honest expression.

“Daughter, do you truly think paper can hide fire and a secret will remain a secret forever?” He smirked at her with an icy look. “Don’t forget; you have a very obvious mole on your collarbone!”

“!”

At that moment, she felt as though she had fallen to hell...

...

“Boss, do we really not need to hire someone to fight back those rumors?”

Seeing the comments online getting uglier by the second, Wu Wei could not help but feel indignant for his superior.

“No need. Leave it be.”

Pei Ge’s lips were slightly upturned, appearing as though she were in a good mood.

“I’m being painted black right now, but in the end...” That woman will pay twice the price! I’m truly looking forward to it!
