Chapter 1120: That jerk must be married with kids.

“…You know that I’m not concerned about that.”

Tang Xiaoyu remained silent for a while before responding with a name she had not been spoken about in a long time.

“Don’t tell me that you’re still thinking about Ji—”

Pei Ge interrupted her before she could finish saying the name fully, though.

“I’ve said before; I don’t want to hear his name again.”

“Yes, yes, yes!” replied her best friend. “Still, you don’t really have to worry about that man snatching your children. Plus, he didn’t know that you were pregnant then. Who knows? It’s been five years, so that jerk must be married with kids now!”

Hearing that, her breathing stagnated for a moment. Even though it was for the briefest of moments, it was still captured by the woman on the other end.

As her best friend, how could she not know what the former was thinking?

However, she knew that that man was not a good person. Since he hurt her best friend deeply, she did not want to see them together again.

Although the woman had not mentioned that man all these years, no other guy had managed to capture her heart.

Even an outstanding man like Egger, who was a gentle man well-loved by her children, failed to make her heart beat for him.

She knew that it was because her best friend had not totally let go of Ji Ziming.

Even if she hated him, she still loved him.

Therefore, she did not wish to expose her best friend’s real feelings.

“Anyway, I’m not trying to insult you or anything, but do you think that anyone can recognize you with your appearance now when it’s so different from five years ago!”

At her emotional words, the woman pursed her lips slightly.

That was right. She was completely different now from five years ago…

Pei Ge from five years ago was average in every way; currently, she was…

“You look ready to launch a counterattack now! Tsk, tsk, tsk! You’re even prettier than when you were in middle school! Ha ha! I feel that those in showbiz who are relying on their face value aren’t even as good-looking as you are.”

“Xiaoyu…” She could not help rolling her eyes upon hearing her best friend laugh so happily.

Only when she was with familiar friends like Tang Xiaoyu could she remove her mask of indifference.

“Ha ha! No way; I suddenly recall your attempt at getting a job on Wall Street back then! Ha ha! I feel that your job-hunting escapade is enough for me to laugh for a lifetime…”

The chuckle coming from the other end made her helpless, but this also reminded her of her time working on Wall Street…

A beautiful woman—a foreigner to boot, what happened to her when she worked overseas?

Sighing lightly, she said lightly, “I’ll leave the two kids with you in the meantime. I’ll head back once I’m done with the matters here.”

Although she put it across softly, her words were filled with seriousness.

Seeing how serious she was, her best friend kept her smile despite herself. “Actually, can’t you just hand those matters for Egger to solve? He himself said—”

“You don’t understand.” She took a deep breath and kept her voice low and hoarse. “They brought so much pain to my family. I… want to avenge my parents with my two hands.”

She wanted that family… to experience the pain and suffering her parents had gone through. She wanted them to have a taste of the helplessness that she had felt.

Whatever they had taken from her, she would make them pay with interest!

“Alright. Just be careful.” Tang Xiaoyu sighed at the hatred she perceived in her voice.

She could sympathize with her. After all, the latter’s father was killed by Pei Zhenghui while her mother, who was harmed by Liu Yan, had yet to regain consciousness even to this day.

If she were her best friend, she would likely perish with them long ago.

However, she was advising her best friend otherwise precisely because of her precious godchildren.

“Yes, I will. I’ll settle the matters here at the fastest speed and return to New York immediately,” said Pei Ge as she smiled with confidence.

Those who had known her before would probably not expect her to transform into a business elite in charge of the lives of many.

They would not also not think that she was that terrifying woman hailed as queen with an iron fist in New York’s Wall Street.

“Alright. I’ll let the two kids speak—”

She cut off her best friend.

“No need. The person picking me up is here. I’ll hang up now. If there’s anything, just call later.”

She hung up the call and walked to a 20-something-year-old man in a black suit.

The man hurriedly parked the car and looked around, as if looking for someone, while beads of perspiration formed on his forehead.

He looked just like a puppy who had lost its mother.

Tak, tak, tak!

She raised a brow as she walked to that man in her ten-centimeter high heels.

“Five minutes and eight seconds.” She spoke coldly the minute she reached the young man.

“Huh?”

Looking at the young woman in sunglasses standing before him, the young man was stunned for a moment.

“What five minutes and eight seconds?” The man looked at the woman perplexedly.

Just as he moved to tell this woman that she had gotten the wrong person and to stop hindering him from finding his charge, the latter removed the sunglasses covering her face all of a sudden.

When her beautiful face was exposed to the man, he was stunned.

His eyes were fixed dazedly on her. Other than being stunned, he could not say anything else.

“You’re the new assistant the company arranged for me? You seem rather unqualified…”
