“Hur! Apologies…”

Pei Ge smirked at her cousin’s pompous act.
How could she not understand what her motive for coming here today was?

It was merely because… her cousin believed that she had taken full control of all the Pei Family Real Estate assets so she had come here to flaunt it.

Hur hur! What should I even say to that?

How do I say this? Somehow, after five years, this cousin of mine has become dumber.

It must be because I’ve been busy dealing with Qiao Jingyun’s matter and neglected the Pei family’s real-estate company that the pair of father and daughter is barking at me now.

“No need for apologies.” I’ll take back everything you owe me myself.

She smirked and regarded her cousin icily.

“I see.”

Alas, in her over-confidence, Pei Shishi failed to perceive the iciness in her eyes and even smiled smugly at her.

“I’m here to tell you that the person spreading those rumors about you online is Qiao Jingyun.”

“Oh, so it’s her?”

She cocked an eyebrow and feigned ignorance.

She had actually not expected her cousin’s biggest motive for coming here to be this.

“Hur hur! I just know that you don’t.” The smugness on her cousin’s face became more apparent when she thought that she was clueless about it.

“I’m telling you this because I’m your relative at the end of the day.”

“Is that so? Then, I truly must thank you.” She chuckled.

She was truly curious about what this cousin of hers wanted to say next.

“Although you have some accomplishments now, you are still not an opponent of that woman.”

Pei Shishi’s smile split even wider when she remained silent.

“You are my family; I can’t just leave you alone.
How about you come work for me again? We are much larger than this small company you are in now.
I can also protect you that way.”

At this point, Pei Ge understood what she was truly here for.

Fine! Looks like she’s acknowledging my capabilities and wants to make use of them!

Tsk, tsk, tsk! I wonder where she got the face to say this?

“Go to your company? What position will you give me? What kind of benefits and salary?”

Her cousin’s expression turned ugly at her consecutive questions.

“Will you let me be the CFO when I come work for you? Also, I have eight figures for my annual net income.
Can you…”

She swept her gaze across her cousin with a light smile before continuing.
“Can you even afford my salary?”

“How’s it possible for you to earn eight figures?! Do you think I’m a fool to believe that Minghao can afford such a high salary?!”

Eight figures meant that the salary ranged from tens of millions at least! This did not make sense to her at all!

Pei Shishi refused to believe that such a small and lousy company would give her cousin such a high salary!

“Pfft! You seem not to understand my worth.”

Pei Ge chuckled, seemingly having heard a huge joke.

Knowing that she was being mocked, her expression turned even uglier.

She was here today to flaunt her resources to this cousin of hers, as well as to poach this competitor to her company.

That way, there would be less competition on the real-estate market in the future, but what she did not expect, though, was to be met with this!

“Pei Family Real Estate isn’t Minghao’s match.
We are the best in the field across the capital, while this one isn’t even third tier.
Do you think you can talk about the two in the same terms?”

“We indeed can’t talk about the two companies in the same terms, but Minghao can afford my salary, but yours… can’t.”

Her lips curled up as she pointed this out.

“…You!” Angered by her attitude, Pei Shishi could no longer suppress her anger.

“Stop being stubborn with me.
Do you know that you are in danger right now? What salary are you still talking about? It looks more like you’ll be fired soon!”

“Fired? Why?”

“Haven’t you seen the posts about you online?”

She coldly snorted at her cousin’s ignorance and continued disdainfully.
“Your reputation now is down the drains.
Do you think that anyone will still want to work with a woman like you?”

Pei Ge no longer wanted to continue this conversation anymore, seeing as it was getting uglier by the minute.

With a raised eyebrow, she spoke in an ice-cold voice.
“A woman like me? What kind of woman am I?”

“You…” Her sudden change in attitude frightened the other, whose eyes widened.
Seeing her no longer smiling, she suddenly felt fearful.

“I really don’t understand where you’re getting the guts to show yourself before me.” She stood up from her chair and slowly strode over to her.

“Have you forgotten that your father caused the death of mine and your mother harmed mine…”

Pei Shishi felt goosebumps rise on her skin as she watched her cousin come closer to her with each step the latter took.

“Do you think we still have anything to speak about between us? Can we still be considered as family? We’re nothing… but enemies now.”

This time, I’m back to avenge my parents!

“I-I’ve apologized to you already! You parents’ death has nothing to do with—”

The other interrupted her.

“Hur hur! Nothing to do with you? Have you forgotten? I learned of the truth even five years ago.”

Her cousin’s cold expression finally made her realize what a big miscalculation of hers coming here today was.

It seemed that she had become too conceited after seizing the Pei Family Real Estate’s CEO position from her father.

“Pei Shishi, I’m not afraid to tell you that I’m back this time to clear the debts between your family and mine!”
