She began to feel wronged.

Peng Linlin stared at her with starry eyes. “Sister-in-law, you’re so cute…”

Her brother actually did not like such a cute girl. As expected, he liked boys!

Peng Zezai looked up at her. She rolled her eyes and sniffed. Her thin lips were stained with a thin layer of red due to the spicy seasoning. Her little mouth kept saying, “Spicy, spicy…”

Then, she continued to eat the rabbit meat that was so spicy it made her cry. Did this woman like to be abused? Because of the spicy taste, she felt that it was more delicious.

Zhao Jia was happily eating when a voice suddenly sounded from above her head. “You actually still have the mood to eat?”

Hm? Who was it? Why did they care about her eating habits?

She chewed the rabbit meat in her mouth and slowly raised her head.

A man in a white patterned shirt at the table looked at her angrily. “Do you really have no conscience? You pushed a good person and injured her badly. Now, she’s still unconscious.”

“I didn’t,” Zhao Jia said softly. Her eyes were filled with confusion. “I didn’t push her.”

“Who else could it be other than you?” Mo Yuhang quipped. “She’s a dancer. The doctor said that she can’t dance anymore. Are you happy?”

Why would she be happy? She was not happy at all. Because of this incident, she had lost five years of her youth!

He propped his left hand on the table. “You’re so vicious. No wonder our Young Master Peng doesn’t like you.”

Yes, Peng Zezai did not like her. Did she need someone to remind her?

“You guys? Are you employees of the Peng family?” she asked calmly.

Mo Yuhang frowned. What was wrong with this woman? She did not recognize him. He glanced at Peng Zezai, who was eating, and ignoring her just like before.

He said proudly, “I’m not an employee. I’m a good friend of Young Master Peng! Miss Wan was seriously injured. You have to take some responsibility.”

Zhao Jia smiled. “Solving the case is the police’s business. Sentencing is the judge’s business. Are those your jobs?”

“Young Master Peng, listen to her. She actually refused to admit it… She was clearly the only one on the roof that day.” Mo Yuhang pointed at Zhao Jia and looked at Peng Zezai.

He looked like he was taking credit.

Peng Zezai’s gaze was cold and his voice was as clear as ice. “She fell by accident.”

An accident? Could it be that Wanqing would jump down by herself? In order to frame Zhao Jia, she even disregarded her own dancing career? Wanqing was not that stupid.

Mo Yuhang smiled awkwardly. “Young Master Peng… How could it be? Who would be so stupid…”

“Are you doubting me?”

“No, no…” Mo Yuhang shook his head. “Young Master Peng, please continue your meal. I’ll be leaving first. We’ll meet again later.”

He left after saying that. His eyes were filled with doubt. What was going on? Something felt wrong!

Peng Linlin whispered into Zhao Jia’s ear, “He seems to like Sister Wanwan. That’s why he’s so angry. I trust you. You would not push her.”

In her eyes, her sister-in-law had always been a gentle girl. The only mistake she made was falling in love with someone who did not love her and marrying him.

She saw Zhao Jia’s stern face. “Sister-in-law, don’t be unhappy. Big brother also believes you. He even said something to him just now!”

Peng Zezai said calmly, “He interrupted my meal.”

Peng Linlin stayed quiet.

‘Big brother, can’t you be decent to sister-in-law?’ The corners of Zhao Jia’s mouth curved up. So, he was not speaking up for her. He was just annoyed that he had interrupted him. She felt that she would gain nothing good from staying here any longer.

She stood up and said, “I’m full, so I’ll be leaving first.”

“Sister-in-law…”

Peng Linlin saw her leave without looking back and said unhappily, “Brother, you already broke sister-in-law’s heart. Aren’t you afraid that in the future, when you fall in love with her, she won’t want you anymore?”

Peng Zezai said coldly, “She did that to herself.”

Everyone knew that he did not like her, and she was the only one who pretended to be stupid.

“Brother, have you ever heard of the saying, ‘If you break a woman’s heart, good luck mending it’?”

“No.”

Peng Linlin stayed silent.

That’s right. Brother Peng only had eyes for Brother Zheng.

She could not help but snicker. However, she heard, “If you fall in love early, I’ll break your legs.”

She was not convinced. “But when she was this age, sister-in-law started chasing you.”

She raised her head and looked into Peng Zezai’s eyes. She said weakly, “Oh…”

She had never thought about puppy love. She had not considered being in a relationship.

She asked happily, “Brother, where are we going in the afternoon? We have to decide which school we are going to today…”

‘It would be great if Brother Zheng could come out and meet us..’

It was half past five in the afternoon. The setting sun in Shangjiang city shone with an orange glow. After being exposed to the sun for a whole day, even the streets were scorching hot.

Fang Tang was anxiously waiting for Zhao Jia at the entrance of the Zegai building.

A car stopped at the entrance. The car door opened and a pair of slender white legs stepped out.

Immediately after, a figure in a light blue dress appeared. Her originally long black hair had turned into brown curly hair. With her exquisite little face, she gave off the unmistakeable aura of wealth.

Fang Tang looked at her in surprise. “Jia Jia…”

Zhao Jia waved. “Hi…”

“You came to the company dressed like this?”

Although it was after work hours, there were still employees who had not left the company.

“Girls naturally have to be beautiful…” She held Fang Tang’s hand and looked at the building in front of them. It was very spectacular..
