Chapter 1282 - Do you like her that much?

Madam Ji did not know what to say in the face of her son’s stubbornness.

“I’ll make it clear to you today: I don’t care whether her children are yours or not; Qu Jingwan is the only choice for the daughter-in-law of the Ji family!”

She then left the living room without waiting for her son’s reply.

Only Ji Ziming and his father were left in the large living room.

“Do you like that woman that much? Do you want to be with her despite our opposition?”

Mister Ji looked at his son gloomily. He had always been proud of him, but his son was becoming less and less like himself since he met that woman.

“Yes, my wife in this life will only be her,” he responded coolly, as if making a solemn oath.

He had sought her for five years. With her finally appearing before him again, he would not let her disappear from his sight again!

“…Okay. If her children are truly yours, then I won’t stop you from marrying her,” his father said coldly after a long pause.

Even though his tone was not the best, Ji Ziming did not care.

Even though An An and Ran Ran looked nothing like him, he had already taken them as his because of Pei Ge.

He felt a lot better after obtaining his father’s approval.

“What do you intend to do with the Qu family? Even if you don’t like that young lady of theirs, she did wait for you for five years.”

“I’ll deal with that and give them some compensation.”

Just as the two were discussing how to make it up to them, the Qu family was also discussing about them on their end.

“Big brother, I might be unable to marry into Ji family.”

Qu Jingwan sat obediently on the couch of Qu Qingyu’s study with lowered lashes.

“It’s not what you think; you must marry into that family.”

When he heard his sister’s words, the man sitting at the study table put his pen down and looked at her.

“I know that you don’t like him, but for me, you must marry Ji Ziming.”

“…Things like this don’t just happen because you want them to!” She curled her lips into a bitter smile and looked at her brother wryly.

This was the first time her image as an obedient sister was destroyed.

“He doesn’t even like me! Do you think someone as strong-headed as him will marry a woman he doesn’t even love?”

Her shout did not have any effect on him, though.

He picked up his pen and began writing again.

“I know that the one he loves isn’t you but… Regina.” As he spoke her pseudonym, the image of Pei Ge’s flawless face appeared in his mind. “But what does it matter? As long as his parents don’t recognize her, and as long as that queen doesn’t want to marry him, then… who’s stopping you from marrying into his family?”

“…Have you ever considered how I feel?!”

“Your feelings?” He stood up from his chair and looked coldly at her.

“Don’t forget that it’s not me who asked you to marry him; it’s you yourself.”

“Mingyu, do you have a heart or not? Don’t you know tha-that the person I love has always been you?”

She finally said the biggest secret she had been keeping hidden in her heart.

However, immediately after she spoke, his expression changed drastically.

“Shut up! You’re not allowed to call that name!”

She felt awful when she saw the expression on his face.

“I’ll call it, anyway! Mingyu, Mingyu, Mingyu!”

Bang! He slammed his fist on the table and glared viciously at her.

“Scram!”

Qu Jingwan, who had never seen him behave like this, was shocked. She subconsciously listened to him and left the study in a hurry.

She only recovered from her shock after she was out of the study.

Once she was outside his study, she was no longer in the mood to talk to continue their conversation.

As she turned and looked at the tightly shut door, she felt terrible. She did not expect things to become like this between the two of them.

They were once so in love…

…

“Boss, all the files are in order; shall we leave now?”

Pei Ge took the files from her secretary’s hands and replied with a smile, “Of course, we can’t miss that board meeting.”

With that, she left Minghao for Pei Family Real Estate in her car.

No one knew how long she had waited for this day…

The car shortly arrived at the company amid her complex feelings.

Alighting from the car, she paused and looked up at the building she was familiar and unfamiliar to.

Without saying anything, she stood at the door of the Pei family’s real-estate company.

Dad, look; this is your company. From this day, Gemei will be reborn.

Everything they’ve stolen from you, I’ll get back for you…

That’s why you can sit back and relax up there. Just watch me take back what is rightfully yours and teach those greedy and heartless relatives of ours a lesson!

Pei Family Real Estate.

In the luxurious conference room, the board members seated at the oval table smiled at Pei Shishi, and she smiled back.

She appeared to be humbly accepting the position as this company’s top executive, but the emotions in her dark eyes betrayed her.

“After the votes by all the members of the board, I now announce the new CEO of this company to be—”

Just as her smile was at its brightest and her name was about to be stated—

Clack!

The door to the conference room was opened from outside.
