Chapter 1187 - He might have found out that I am Pei Ge.
“Alright, Mr. Ji. I’ll give your project proposal serious consideration.”
Even though Pei Ge did not want to continue having dealings with this man, the project he had suggested had a lot of benefits to be reaped.
It would rouse more suspicion if she rejected it right away.
Hence, even though she was unwilling, she could only force herself to agree to it.
“Great, then. I’ll wish us a pleasant collaboration in advance.”
Ji Ziming nodded at her with a straight face.
“Pleased to work with you…”
She smiled back with a stifled feeling. Seeing him continue eating his sweet potato porridge, she continued with a smile, “Then, since we are done speaking, I will take my leave first.”
She nodded with a smile. She was deeply grateful toward this friend who had given her a lot of help.
“How is my mother now?”
“Auntie is looking much better now compared to when I visited her last time. The doctor in charge said that she might wake up soon.”
She instantly stood up from her seat in agitation when she heard that.
“Is that true?! My mom, th-there’s a chance of her waking up?!”
It had been five years. She was hopeful at first, but at this point, her hope had dimmed considerably with regard to her mother regaining consciousness.
However, now, she was actually hearing from the man that her mother might wake up!
“That’s right, or else, why would I be calling you?”
Although his voice was tinged with a smile, the sincerity in his tone made it clear that he was speaking the truth.
“T-That’s so great to hear!”
She was so excited at this news that she could barely form her words.
“I-I’ll go—” Back now.
However, halfway through speaking, she recalled that her plan of revenge was still underway…
“It’s fine. You don’t need to rush home; I’ll let you know right away once auntie wakes up.”
The man on the other end assured her, probably knowing what she was feeling conflicted about.
However, her thoughts were on her mother. She could not calm her emotions and her heart beat hard the moment she thought of how her mother might wake up soon.
She felt as though her mother would wake up in the next second.
“I… should still go back first. I’ve already laid down the net, and I just need to wait to catch the fish.”
“Mhm.”
The man did not continue stopping her upon seeing that she was adamant on returning. With a light hum, he asked another question. “Oh, right. Did you offend someone back there recently? On my end, I heard news of someone investigating you.”
She froze at this.
“…” The person investigating me must be Ji Ziming!
“Ge Ge, what is it?”
“Egger, listen to me: Ji Ziming… he might’ve found out that I am Pei Ge.”
