“Which sugar daddy do you think will give a woman an accessory worth more than three hundred million?”
Pei Ge elegantly twisted her wrist as she looked at the lady in mockery.
“Even if it’s your older brother, let’s not mention forking out a hundred million to buy a watch for a woman, I bet...” She peered at the man standing behind Mu Jiaqian. His face was red from anger, but he did not dare to flare up. Her red lips parted as she continued in cold mockery. “I bet even if it’s just a present worth a few million, he might be unable to give it out.”
Not only these siblings, who nearly choked in their anger at her words, the crowd around them also started buzzing upon hearing that the watch she was wearing was worth hundreds of millions.
It was as this woman said; no man would be this generous to give out a watch worth three hundred million to a mistress.
Only a lunatic would give his mistress a hundred-million worth of watch as a present!
Moreover, there were only a few who had the financial capability to do this across the capital.
Recalling the name this woman had just mentioned, a few people in the crowd already determined that she was the rumored Iron Lady of Wall Street.
Rumors had it that she was a legend akin to a god in New York’s Wall Street.
It was said that those who had offended, without fail, ended up bankrupt.
It was because her fists were this hard and how she never failed to get revenge on every little offense done to her that she earned her moniker.
Also, because of her simple yet ruthless methods, no one dared to easily offend her.
Still, this circle of people merely heard of her circumstances and did not believe them at all, for they had not met her in person.
Having seen her now, they, all the more... did not believe it!
With her looks, the sugar daddy behind her must also be extraordinary.
After all, how could such a beautiful and weak Chinese woman survive and climb into such a high position in a place like New York’s Wall Street, which the strong preyed on the weak, without a powerful sugar daddy?
Still, a three-hundred-million watch... It seemed that the man behind this woman doted on her a lot!
Whether it was her capabilities or the sugar daddy’s, they definitely could not offend such a beauty.
Alas, Mu Jiaqian only thought of the first half. She never thought that, if there was a sugar daddy who could give a mistress a watch worth hundreds of millions, it meant that the man doted on his woman greatly; hence, she was not someone to be offended.
When the crowd started mocking her in hushed voices after being humiliated by Pei Ge, this lady only felt herself to be an ugly predicament.
She had never thought that she would find herself in such a disgraceful situation.
The bit of opinion and repulsiveness she felt for this woman finally turned into hate and jealousy!
She was jealous of this woman who could capture Mu Heng’s heart; she also hated the latter for disgracing her in front of so many people.
“You! You—”
Before she could speak further, she was held back by a pair of soft hands.
“Miss Regina, my sincere apologies for my friend’s unintentional rude behavior; she was merely misled by someone earlier and had some misconception regarding you as a person... Please be gracious and forgive her this one time.”
She was stunned when she heard this very gentle voice, but when she noted the meaning behind her words next, she was even more dumbfounded.
The high-and-mighty future mistress of the Ji family was using respectful language to this woman in front of them—this was totally unbelievable!
“Wanwan, what are you doing? Why are you apologizing to her?! I didn’t—”
She was soon silenced by her friend’s smile and pointed look.
“Again, I apologize for involving you in such a situation.”
The woman slightly bowed to Pei Ge, seeming to be respectful of her.
At the same time, the crowd’s impression of her was influenced by the other’s act.
This beauty truly can’t be offended!
Still, everyone’s impression of Qu Jingwan improved because of this.
The men present, especially, were all envious of Ji Ziming for having such a graceful and cultured woman, who could correctly assess the situation and bend when needed be.
Bringing a woman like this out was great for one’s image and would not cause one to offend people accidentally! She was truly a rare gem of a virtuous wife!
Eyeing the gentle-looking and pretty woman before her, she did not know if she was wrong, but she found her to be familiar.
“It’s fine, but I don’t wish for this kind of thing to happen again next time.”
With that, she turned around and walked off without a backward glance.
It was only after her departure that Qu Jingwan finally let go of her friend’s wrist.
“Why were you so polite to that woman?! She’s merely a woman who uses her body for benefits—”
“...Qianqian, how many times have I told you already? You must think thrice before doing anything; follow me.”
She glared at her friend then swept her eyes past the latter’s brother, Mu Jiahong.
“You follow me, too.”
The Mu siblings were totally clueless as they followed her to an empty room in the villa.
“Wanwan, what’s going on exactly?”
“That’s right. What’s wrong?”
The two had known her since young. Hence, they could see that she was truly angry this time.
“You two, I’m not hoping for you guys to help me, but you still can’t drag me down...”
The siblings were flabbergasted at this.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
She felt tired from seeing how clueless this pair of siblings was.
The Ji family’s situation was already complicated enough. Even if she had patiently accompanied that man for a full four years, his heart was still like a rock. He had not once agreed to marry her.
Moreover, she still had a tough and powerful opponent called Qiao Jingyun. She was already tired to the extreme.
“Do you guys know that you jumped into Qiao Jingyun’s trap this time? You two have already become weapons in someone else’s hands to be used against me; do you realize that?”
“Huh?!”
“H-How’s that possible?!”
The siblings spoke at the same time.
“Hur hur! Brother Jiahong, did you hear something, so you went to hit up that woman?
“Qian Qian, did you also hear people talking about her being a kept woman, so you were being opinionated about her?”
Her words stunned the siblings.
“H-How did you know?”
“Hur hur! Because that’s the trap laid out by Qiao Jingyun. She merely wanted to kill three birds with one stone and push my Qu family to ruins! That woman is truly a ruthless character! No wonder the woman, who was about to get married with Ji Ziming, from back then could be chased away by her.”
“W-Why does she want to do that?”
The siblings had looks of disbelief. They did not understand why Qiao Jingyun would go to such great lengths to do this.
“Because today is the day that the Ji family is going to announce my engagement with Ji Ziming.”
