Chapter 922 - I know the secret that you have been hiding.
“Bai Yang forest.”
These few words from the woman stunned the initially calm and composed Qiao Jingyun, and shock flashed across her eyes, which were originally full of mockery.
“What did you say? What forest?” she demanded at once as she tried to recollect her emotions.
Pei Shishi, who had a clear finger on things from her deduction, did not buy it, however.
“Won’t you know after you come?”
She then hung up the phone without waiting for her reply.
Listening to the dial tone, Qiao Jingyun’s fingers, which were gripping the phone, turned white.
Why did this woman sound as if she… were unrelated in this?
“Are you very disappointed in my reaction? Do you think that I shouldn’t react this way?” Qiao Jingyun taunted when she saw her confused look.
“… Don’t think that I don’t know how much you value this secret just because you’re behaving this way!” spat Pei Shishi as she glared at the other. “Don’t pretend that everything is fine. What if Ji Ziming finds out that you’re not—” His benefactor and that you replaced Pei Ge?
Before she could finish speaking, the other woman cut her off.
“Shhh! I understand what you’re trying to say.” Qiao Jingyun put a finger to her lips and looked at her with a smile. “Now, tell me; what do you want in exchange for this little secret of mine?”
She felt that she had regained some pride when she heard the woman’s words.
She arrogantly raised her chin and looked at the other mockingly.
“You don’t deserve his love, so…”
At this point, she paused and looked in provocation at the other.
“So?”
Surprisingly, Qiao Jingyun did not get upset when she heard her words. She even looked at her with an encouraging smile.
“After your plan is complete, let me be with—” Ji Ziming.
Alas, she was cut off mid-speech by the other again.
“Did you think that only you could get a hold of other people’s secrets?”
The ominous feeling in her heart grew the moment she heard this.
“W-What do you mean?!”
“Shh! Don’t get too agitated. Just like you, I know your little secret, too.”
