The autumn wind was cold. Thus, no matter how high the sun in the sky was or how warm it was during the day, the temperature would become very chilly when night arrived.
This was especially the case at a certain villa community that was surrounded by lush greenery and was next to some man-made small lakes.
Thus, Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua, who had just exited Pei Zhenghui’s house, felt freezing.
The moment they stepped out of their relatives’ house, the calm and composed Zhang Manhua started bawling.
“Ge Ge, mom has let you down. Mom has really let you down. If it were not for my uselessness, you would not be spoken of like that by your second auntie. It’s because mom is so useless.” She pulled Pei Ge’s hands to hers as she wept.
None of the resolution and strength she had displayed just then was present as she cried.
Zhang Manhua could obviously catch on to Liu Yan’s attitude toward them, but since Pei Zhenghui’s family had helped them, she decided to feign ignorance.
“I didn’t expect for everything to progress like this, though…” A look of loss and confusion filled her face.
She was really saddened by this. She was only sparing her cousin the hurt, but she somehow became a bad person in their eyes.
