Xia Ling sneered. “Your Pei family? Your Pei family’s money was still earned by Ziheng! What does it matter to you when Ziheng loves giving me money to spend? I want all the root carvings here!”

Her last sentence was said purely on a whim. She didn’t know how much all the root carvings here even cost, but she since Pei Ziheng had given her a villa and a pink diamond ring worth hundreds of millions without even blinking, what was wrong with buying a few root carvings? Pei Ziheng wouldn’t even have any opinions if she burnt them!

She held her head high and looked at Pei Jingyu and Pei Jingshan.

Pei Jingshan was furious. “You’re shameless!”

The angrier she was, the happier Xia Ling became. She gestured towards the exhibition’s salesperson in front of them on purpose and told him, “Pack all of these root carvings and send them to this address.” She casually took a pen and paper from the counter and wrote down her address on it. Then, she took a black gold credit card from her exquisite lambskin bag and handed it to the salesperson.

The salesperson was shocked senseless. He, was he witnessing young ladies of note fighting for wealth?!

He was just a small white-collar worker, when else would he have seen such a big scene? He held the black gold credit card and stuttered. “Miss, Miss, are you sure? These root carvings all add up to a total of sixty-five million yuan.”

“It’s only sixty-five million yuan.” Xia Ling snorted. “Go ahead.” Her card was Pei Ziheng’s credit card and she didn’t know how much money was inside, but she thought the sixty-five million was just a drop in the ocean.

The salesperson suspected he was dreaming and secretly slapped his thigh before running to swipe the card.

Xia Ling and the Pei sisters were left standing in the same place, glaring at each other coldly and not giving way. After a long time, the beautiful lips of Pei Jingyu curled up into a sneer. “Xia Ling, you really think Big Cousin’s money is yours?” Her heart was bubbling with rage. It was Grandpa’s birthday soon, and she and Pei Jingyu had come today to choose a gift for him. They had seen the longevity rootless agarwood carving and had yet to buy it when they’d been robbed by Xia Ling halfway.

Xia Ling sneered too. “Why do you care whose money I use? If you have the ability, then buy it. If you can buy all the root carvings here, I won’t stop you, ha. I’m just afraid you don’t have that much money?” She deliberately provoked Pei Jingyu.

Pei Jingyu was so mad she wanted to vomit blood. She really wanted to strive for vindication and buy all the things there like Xia Ling, but she couldn’t. Her expenditure was all planned—some were for investment, some for savings, and she didn’t even open a credit card, so how could she possibly have sixty-five million?

She could only say stiffly, “I’m not a spendthrift like you!”

“I think you just can’t afford it, haha.” Xia Ling was unrelenting.

Pei Jingyu wanted to vomit blood again. She glared at Xia Ling with her pair of apricot eyes, her face blue. She desperately wanted to burn a hole in her face, but she still smiled faintly. “Ziheng? You’re calling him so intimately. Is it nice to spend the money you exchanged for with your body? You’re just a sly mistress, how dare you strut around and show off in front of me?”Read more chapter on vipnovel.com

Xia Ling trembled in anger and was stunned by her. She paused for a few seconds before asking, “What did you say?”

Pei Jingyu looked at her arrogantly. “I said you’re just a s.l.u.t mistress! Stop pretending, Xia Yu has long leaked your secret to us. Many people in the Pei family know that you have slept with Big Cousin, so you can stop hiding this from other people.”

“I didn’t intend to hide,” Xia Ling hurriedly replied. “We’re not as dirty as you think! I’m not his mistress, we really love each other!” She did not expect things to become like this. In the beginning, it was Pei Ziheng who had ordered her to not to show off, but now that she wanted to become a big star, it wasn’t convenient to publicize her relations.h.i.+p, so she had kept it a secret. She had been extremely careful these years and hadn’t expected that the Pei family were already in the know.

Mistress…

This word was like a sharp thorn plunging into her heart.

They must have guessed wrong, she was not a mistress!

Pei Jingyu sn.i.g.g.e.red. “You’re still pretending? I’ve seen so many people like you who want to climb up the social ladder shamelessly. Do you know how our Pei family treats people like you? We throw you after we’ve finished sleeping with you. Haha, just wait a few more years when Big Cousin has married a prestigious lady, he’ll treat you like garbage.”

She saw Xia Ling’s expression change and felt satisfied immediately.

Xia Ling had never thought about these things. In her heart, it was only natural and reasonable to publicize her relations.h.i.+p with Pei Ziheng after she was famous. She told herself not to fall into Pei Jingyu’s trap, so she suppressed the panic in her heart and said sternly, “Nonsense! Ziheng won’t marry any prestigious lady, he will marry me!” This was what she had been looking forward to ever since she was sixteen, to be his wife one day.

Pei Jingyu looked at her pitifully. “Idiot, go look through the Pei family’s history, which high-powered person like Big Cousin has married a wretch from the untouchables? Which Chairman of the Pei family didn’t marry a prestigious lady? Have you gone crazy wanting to marry into a rich family? Even an ugly toad wishes to eat swan meat!”

Xia Ling’s body trembled slightly. She didn’t believe any of it, but Pei Jingyu’s words couldn’t be refuted.

She said dryly, “I won’t listen to your nonsense. I will definitely marry him.” She paused, looked at the abominable look on Pei Jingyu’s face and put on her arrogance. “Rather than worrying about me, why don’t you worry about yourself instead. When I become your Big Cousin’s wife, I’ll definitely drive you out. I’ll deduct all your pocket money and marry you off to a poor and ugly man! Humph!”

Her eyes seemed to release crackling fireworks in midair.

Pei Jingyu sneered. “We’ll see.” She walked away with Pei Jingshan.

Xia Ling glared after them for a while, then sighed like a deflated ball, feeling frustrated and discouraged. Were their words real? Pei Ziheng would not marry her? Although she said she didn’t believe it, Xia ling really went to ask Nanny Zhou. “Nanny Zhou, could you tell me about the Pei family?”

Nanny Zhou was was.h.i.+ng the clothes. She quickly wiped her hands and let Xia Ling sit down at the lobby. “The laundry room is not a place where a lady like you should come to,” Nanny Zhou said cordially. “Miss, why are you interested to hear about the Pei family today? Didn’t you dislike being a.s.sociated with them?”

“I…” Xia Ling bit her lip, her heart heavy with troubles.

Nanny Zhou asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xia Ling said, “Nanny Zhou, didn’t the Pei family produce a lot of Chairmans? Just like Ziheng? What kind of people were their wives, I heard they were all famous ladies and none of them was a commoner? Is it true?” She looked at Nanny Zhou unblinkingly, waiting nervously for a reply.

Nanny Zhou’s brain buzzed and she thought in her heart that it had come.

Miss had finally realized something was wrong. She was together with Sir in such an unclear relations.h.i.+p, what would happen in the future? Marriage… that was impossible.

But if she told her the truth now, would it be too cruel?
