Chapter 689 - The murderer is Qitong?
Not her biological mother?!
Pei Ge had a look of surprise.
She honestly did not expect for the bubbly Qin Qitong’s mother not to be related by blood!
Her beautiful stepmother was even young!
She pulled her thoughts back together and looked at the lady seated gracefully on the sofa. For some reason, she was reminded of that lass’s helpless wailing.
Once more, she felt heartache for the girl.
“Auntie, may I ask where Qitong is now? I’d like to meet her.”
“Qitong, what’s wrong? Don’t cry; don’t cry. I’m here now; I’m here…”
Under her continuous reassurance, the girl finally calmed down.
“Sister Pei Ge, I-I…” The girl’s eyes were filled with grievances as she looked at her. Feeling awful inside, she said, “I didn’t harm anyone, much less push her down. I don’t want to hurt anyone, too.”
“I know, Qitong. I know that you’re not the type to hurt anyone. I believe you.”
Neither a question nor a hint of suspicion could be heard or seen from her as she reassured the girl.
The girl’s tears fell again at her unwavering trust.
“Sister Pei Ge, thank you… thank you…” She continued weeping while speaking in an aggrieved tone. “They all don’t believe me… don’t believe me…”
She got some tissue from her handbag and gently wiped the girl’s tears.
“Other than you and aunt, no one else believes me. My dad thought that I did it on purpose, while my brother thought that I did it to hit two birds with one stone; even Bi Zheng said that I’m so selfish it’s scary. I-I… I really want to die and end everything now!”
“What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t talk about dying! What happened exactly? Tell me about it slowly,” she frowningly reprimanded.
“They all said I had pushed Li Yumeng down the stairs…”
“Who is Li Yumeng?”
“She is… Bi Zheng’s girlfriend and… the person my brother likes.”
