Chapter 416 - Entangling with Her like This
Even after she hung up the call, her heart was still quickly pounding, and she could not calm it.
Her cheeks were very red they seemed to have been heated up by a heater.
‘Remember that you are now my wife.’
The man’s words reverberated in her ears.
Their married status was clearly fake, and they were not truly a husband and a wife; in fact, their relationship was not the least bit intimate.
Still, when he said those words, to her, they were more touching than any whispers of love.
Calming her rapidly beating heart a little, she took a deep breath.
Pei Ge shifted her gaze from her auntie on to her cousin when heard her reproachful words.
“I didn’t change; you guys did.” She refuted the accusation in a voice dripping with sarcasm.
Who knew that someone who looked so nice, kind, and helpful to their family would actually be this deplorable inside? Everything they had done was just a façade.
The furrow between Pei Shishi’s eyebrows deepened.
Meanwhile, Zhang Manhua, who was lying in the bed, perceived the increasing tension among them. She heard from her daughter how their relatives had previously acted when she asked for their help.
Still, being a sister-in-law and auntie to these two visitors and having a soft personality, her words were not as cutting as her daughter’s when she spoke.
“Liu Yan, Shishi, thank you for visiting me, but I need to rest now, so you guys can take your leave.”
Zhang Manhua informed the two coolly. She was a soft-hearted person, but she was no pushover and hypocrite. She was still very upset at what Pei Zhenghui had done.
If her brother-in-law had not pocketed the proceeds from their house sale, with that one million, her daughter would not have had to live such a difficult life and would also have been able to attend a good university instead of that lousy college.
“Big Auntie, why are you…” Pei Shishi asked in shock.
Never mind Pei Ge’s change, but why did Zhang Manhua’s attitude toward them change, too?
Had something happened to the two while they were not paying attention?
