“Ziming, you’re finally here! If you still didn’t come, I’d be bullied to death by them!”
Pei Ge rushed to hug the man’s arm the moment he stepped inside the ward.
“What took you so long? Look at how much our Qitong is crying! If you came any later, I’d be bullied to tears by them, too!”
Seeing her complaining to him like this, the couple on the bed almost choked to death.
They spat inwardly, Who is bullying whom now?! This woman acted so arrogant moments ago! We’re clearly the elders here, yet she didn’t even show us any face!
Unfortunately for them, Ji Ziming did not doubt his girlfriend’s words. Patting her head comfortingly, his expression said, ‘Don’t be scared. I’m here. I’ll avenge you.’
The truth was truly as thus.
The moment he shifted his gaze away from her, his doting look turned cold and sharp as he swept his eyes over the couple on the bed.
Although this uncle was his mother’s brother, having held a position of power for so long, especially since this middle-aged man did something dumb, he was disinclined to give him face, too.
“Uncle.” He blandly greeted him before he shot Ge Qing daggers. “To think you’d become foolish as you aged and actually treat such a nobody like a precious treasure.”
His uncle’s face turned gloomy the moment he said that. “Ji Ziming, she’s your aunt!”
He snorted expressionlessly at that, not humoring him. “My aunt? Is she fit?”
He asked that without emotion, yet one could feel his disdain.
“Ziming, don’t say that about Aunt Qing. She’s at least my dad’s—”
Seeing his father choking on his retort, Qin Xiujin frowned at his cousin.
Ji Ziming cut him off as well, not caring for what he had to say.
“Xiujin, you’ve become quite foolish, too. Were you influenced by your father?”
He peered at his cousin lightly.
“Ziming!”
Qin Xiujin was instantly enraged by his cutting remark.
Although the father and son knew that this man was infamous for his sharp words, this was the first time that they had experienced it for themselves!
As for Pei Ge, she felt touched that her man would be so unbridled for her sake.
She silently praised him more when the three appeared as if they were about to puke out blood from anger.
Darling, you’re awesome!
“Ziming, I don’t know what Miss Pei told you, but you can’t blindly trust her words just because she’s your girlfriend…”
The Qin patriarch repressed his displeasure and tried to speak some sense into his nephew, but who knew that he would, once more, be almost angered to death by him?
“She’s my girlfriend. Who will I trust if not her?” his nephew countered evenly.
“…” His nephew’s nonchalant attitude made him choke on his words.
Ge Qing and Qin Xiujin gawked at him as well.
While those who knew him were aware of how uncaring he was of relationships, him saying these things for a woman was still shocking!
Pei Ge, in contrast, only felt loved.
Seeing him say all that without hesitation, she said inwardly, It’s really wise of me to accept this boyfriend!
Not only did he make me proud at such a crucial time, he even oozed with awesomeness!
“Ziming, are you done with my request?” She looked at him with anticipation.
Actually, even without paternity testing, they had ways to prove that this Ge Qing’s child did not belong to his uncle.
However, those would take some time.
“Yes, the results will be out soon.” He nodded.
Getting this confirmation from him, she released her hand around his arm and walked to Qin Qitong’s side. The girl was just standing on the same spot in a daze.
“Qitong, your cousin is done preparing everything. The test results are about to come out; how do you want to settle this?” she softly inquired, sighing lightly thereafter.
Hearing this, the girl’s lips moved. She then directed an emotional gaze to her father.
“Dad, do you remember what you promised me before you remarried?”
Her father froze.
“You told me that you’re marrying this woman to take proper care of our house, including me and my brother. We’ll always be a family of three and that this woman will only ever be an outsider.”
She did not wait for her father’s reply and only continued speaking.
“Now, I realized that I seem to have become this outsider.
“You assumed that I have harmed your ‘son’ and your ‘wife’. In your eyes, am I really such a selfish person to the extent that I can murder my little brother?
“No matter how much I, Qin Qitong, hate her! I won’t ever harm the child in her womb, much less harm her!”
She stared straight at her father as she voiced her thoughts and feelings aloud.
“Qitong…” He felt guilty when he heard this.
He did make such a promise to his daughter before.
However, unknowingly, he had forgotten all about it.
“You’re making me go overseas! Okay, I’ll go! I won’t stay here and continue being an eyesore to you and your ‘wife’!”
She sucked in a deep breath and glanced at Ge Qing coldly.
“Still, I won’t let myself be framed and chased overseas, so Aunt Qing, this time, consider your plans wrecked! Do you think that, just because you set me up and used some parlor tricks to have a miscarriage, you can hide the fact that you were pregnant with someone else’s child?”
She looked at her mockingly, her lips curling upward into a sarcastic smile. “Let me tell you: dream on! The b*st*rd child that came out of your womb has already been sent for paternity testing! I really want to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!”
“Ziming, you’re finally here! If you still didn’t come, I’d be bullied to death by them!”
Pei Ge rushed to hug the man’s arm the moment he stepped inside the ward.
