Chapter 369 - Pei Ge, that lass, is a jinx.
Her appearance was no longer youthful. Her face used to be tender and beautiful, but these past few years had been hard on her, and she now had wrinkles on her face.
Mom… has really aged.
“Okay…” she softly agreed. She clasped her hands together and hid the bone-deep sorrow she felt.
Mom wants to have fun outside. Is she afraid of not having enough time to do this in the future?
Why must mom contract such an illness?
Mom still hasn’t had the chance to enjoy what life has to offer; she has yet to live her life to the fullest.
Why did God make her sick like this?
“Dad, why are you so mad at her?” She was a little confused. Her parents were already asleep when she came home last night, so she was unaware of what had transpired earlier that evening.
“That damn lass is just like her dad: stubborn to no end! I only asked her to inquire a little about her company’s project, but she actually reprimanded me. She even said that she had already resigned from Chenguang Real Estate. You tell me; how can I not be angry at this?!” he complained angrily.
Clearly, after Pei Ge’s scolding yesterday, not only did he not reflect on his behavior, he even grew angrier.
It was so bad that he held a grudge and his temper became more volatile today.
She frowned at her father’s words, and displeasure flitted across her face.
“I think that Ge Ge doesn’t treat us as her family! If she did, she wouldn’t act out that scene with Ji Ziming to bluff me.” She coldly narrowed her eyes.
Not a trace of gentleness was on her face. Instead, her face only looked menacing and quarrelsome.
He was not at all surprised by this because he knew his daughter’s personality well.
He would only worry if his daughter was really gentle and kind.
After all, he, Pei Zhenghui, only had this one daughter, and all his inheritance would go to her, so it was better that she was calculative and scheming.
