ared; auntie will uphold justice for you.”

“Don’t go looking for your son; I’m afraid of him misunderstanding it.
This is something between me and Pei Ge and has nothing to do with him.”

“Sigh… You’re too sensible.
You only know how to spare a thought for others but not yourself.”

“Thank you for comforting me, auntie.”

“Silly lass, we’re a family; you needn’t be so formal with me.”

She gently wiped the tears off her face and said in a nasal voice, “Auntie, I… I’m not here to tell you these.
Seriously, I just suddenly couldn’t control myself because you’re just like my mother.
It’s comforting to be with you.”

“We’re a family.
I’m your mother, and you’re already part of the family, so why aren’t you changing the way you address me?”

“Auntie, I…” She smiled with tears in her eyes, and though her exquisite, oval face appeared tired, it still could not conceal her sharp and lively eyes.

“Alright.
Retreat to your room for a good rest first.
Have more food during dinner tonight as all are your favorite dishes.
As long as I’m in this family, nobody will dare bully you.
Let alone Pei Ge, even my son can’t.
You’re the daughter-in-law recognized by this family, and nobody can replace you; do you understand?”

“I understand.
Thanks, auntie.
Without you, I don’t even know where I can air these grievances.”

“Next time, with auntie around, Pei Ge won’t be able to bully you, so don’t worry.”

“I’ll return to my room, then.”

“Go ahead.
Take a nice shower and sleep; you still have me if anything happens.”

“Alright, then, auntie; I’ll head back to my room.
Baby, I’ll go back to my room for now.” Qu Jingwan smiled at the boy and waved.
“I’ll play with you again tonight, alright?”

“Okay.” Ji Chi pursed his lips and nodded.

“Go and rest.
When you’re done, I’ll call you down for dinner.”

“Mhm, auntie; I’ll get going.”

“Go, go.
Rest well.”

“Okay.”

Madam Ji waited for the lady to enter the mansion before calling her son.

Ji Ziming and Pei Ge, including their children, were in the furniture shop on the ninth floor.
When the man saw that the caller was his mother, he informed his woman that he would visit the washroom before walking away.

“Hello, mom.”

“You still know to call me ‘mom’.
Look at how you’ve bullied Jingwan!” His mother chided him angrily over the phone.
“What’s so good about Pei Ge that you’re getting involved with her again? Don’t tell me that your official fiancée is way more inferior than her? I don’t see how she loses out to her in any way.”

“What did that woman tell you?”

“What else could she say? She’s been crying non-stop from the moment she got back and wouldn’t tell me no matter how much I asked.”

“Mom, things didn’t happen like what you’re thinking.”

“If they didn’t, then how did they happen? Are you trying to anger me to death?!”

“Wait for me to return home and explain everything to you.”

“I don’t think you have to come back; just stay outside with Pei Ge.
You don’t even want your mother anymore; I also won’t tell your father this in case he worries.
I really don’t get you.”

“Just wait for me to explain it all to you when I get back.” He raised his brow, and the chilliness in his eyes intensified.

Someone informed him this morning that Qu Jingwan had gone back to his family’s house, but he did not expect her to invert the truth so quickly.
It was best for his parents not to know about the truth.
There was no benefit in them knowing the truth, and it would just create more problems if they got embroiled in all these, too.
