“What should I expect from a useless thing like you? All you do is bring me down, just like your useless mother!”
Pei Zhenghui’s voice reverberated in the room.
As she listened to his infuriated voice, which was full of ridicule, Pei Shishi remained expressionless and stood there without flinching.
“Tell me: What use do you have to me? I’ve raised you for nothing...”
Before he could finish, a noise came from the door.
Click!
The mahogany door of the study room was opened from the outside.
A woman wearing an embroidered white dress then stepped inside.
Her features were delicate and she had a great figure. Her eyes were seductive, which made her look extremely alluring.
One’s heart would melt once the woman started speaking.
“Hubby, come on; don’t be angry; it’s bad for your body. Our precious doesn’t want you to get sick.”
Even though the woman did not knock, the man, who was having an angry fit, lost his anger the instant the woman entered the room.
“Okay, okay, okay, I won’t get mad; I won’t get mad anymore.”
Seeing that his mood was instantly lifted, the woman glanced at Pei Shishi haughtily. She then walked over to his side and put her hand through his arm as if to show possessiveness.
When the woman appeared in the study, a twisted expression surfaced on her face, but it soon disappeared, so the pair did not catch sight of it.
“Don’t talk about Shishi like this anymore; no matter what, she’s still a woman.”
The woman held his arm and began pacifying him.
“Hmph! She lost a big project; how could I not be angry with her?”
Even though her words worked like a charm, the man’s anger surfaced once reminded of how his daughter had lost them a big project.
It was not only because the project was lucrative but because it was bad for the Pei Family Real Estate’s image to have lost against a newly established company.
Due to this, their real-estate company had become a laughingstock in the industry.
“No matter what, she’s still a woman. Women should just marry and stay at home obediently. Why should they get involved in company matters? These things are meant for men.”
The woman said sweetly as she pouted, pinching him gently in the arm.
A deep-seated hatred flashed across Pei Shishi’s soulless eyes when she heard the woman’s words.
This woman, she deserves to die!
She looked at the woman, her heart cold.
She had never expected for her and her mother’s troubles to begin after her cousin’s disappearance five years ago.
Her cousin, along with her aunt, had disappeared.
She thought that her mother had gotten away with it.
What she did not expect was that... her mother would be put in jail afterward, and their company was hit hard by this. If she had not... set aside her pride and sold her body in exchange for help, the Pei Family Real Estate would have been reduced to nothing.
Unexpectedly, though she had done her best to save her home and the company, her father had been the one to betray them!
Shortly after her mother was sent to prison, her father brought his lover, Tan Chanchan, who was about her age, to their family villa!
The most surprising part of it all? Her father had an illegitimate child with her already!
“Hubby, you should just get your daughter to stay at home and wait to get married. If she stays any longer in our company, who knows if we’ll lose another big project?”
Hearing her words, Pei Shishi lowered her head and clenched her fists in hatred.
One day, she would get rid of this third party and her child!
“Mhm.”
Pei Zhenghui nodded as he raised his head and glanced at his daughter in seeming agreement to his wife’s words.
Looking at her father’s reaction, she knew that she would be kicked out of the company if she remained silent!
“Dad, I did mess up on this project, but Mr. He told me that he’ll arrange another contract for us as a means of apology. The project won’t be worse than this one.”
She looked at him, her expression gentle.
It was as if she had not heard any of the woman’s words earlier.
“Really?”
The man’s eyes lit up as he glanced around.
“Yes. Since when has that person lied to me?”
Noting the softening of her father’s expression, she curled her lips into a smile; her face was again full of confidence.
“Wow! Shishi, that guy sure takes good care of you.”
Tan Chanchan looked at her with a smile, but there was clearly mockery in her voice.
“Dad, I still have something on, so I’ll get going first.”
Taking a deep breath, she tried not to let herself be affected by the woman’s malicious words.
“Okay. Talk to Mr. He properly. Tell him that we’ve made quite a loss this time.”
“Sure.”
Following his reminder, she left the study room.
The moment she left the room, a cold smile appeared on her face.
One day, I’ll make you two feel the shame and pain my mother and I felt!
She clenched her fists and walked steadily toward the exit to the villa.
For five years, she had been regretting a lot of things.
She regretted not going to the police to expose her father.
She regretted... not watching her mother and letting her run over her auntie...
However, she never regretted setting up her cousin with Qiao Jingyun!
