494 Only someone with a brain malfunction will like Ji Ziming. (1/2)
”Sister Pei Ge… why do you like my cousin?”
The girl's gossipy voice traveled through the line.
”Yes, he is handsome, but his temper is something few can tolerate.”
Her excited chattering streamed through the line.
Pei Ge's lips curled up at the girl's curiosity.
She was about to respond when she heard the young lady's next words.
”Sister Pei Ge, don't tell me that you fell for my cousin's good looks, or… does my cousin become an obedient sheep, like my uncle to my aunt, before you?”
”Pfft!” She burst into laughter over the girl's ridiculous description of the man.
”Ha ha ha!” She laughed until tears formed in her eyes. ”Qitong, what nonsense are you spouting?”
The image of that man as a sheep kept resurfacing in her mind.
Ai ma! So cute! Ha ha!
”Nonsense? I'm not spouting nonsense. My uncle is like this; he is strict in front of others, but once he is with my aunt, he is beyond gentle. My brother says that that is true love,” she explained, clearly displeased to hear her laugh.
Her laughter immediately died down when the girl mentioned that. Her face then turned cold.
True love…
She was definitely not the man's true love; that fellow had never treated her well.
”Sister Pei Ge, if my cousin didn't give you special treatment, how did you end up liking him?” the girl asked, baffled.
She might be a naïve fresh graduate, but being born into a rich and influential family, she had naturally seen the ugly side of society.
She knew very well that many ladies desired her cousin and brother, even her father and uncle, not for their good looks but for their background, instead.
While they were indeed attracted to their charisma, a large part of that attraction was due to these men's background.
This was especially the case for her cousin.
He had always been cold toward everyone, and after that past kidnapping incident where he almost died, he was even colder toward people.
Be the person a boy or a girl, he was not affectionate or gentlemanly.
Men and women were the same to him, and whether they looked pretty or ugly made no difference.
How could he attract any girl with his lousy personality, then? Even if they really liked him, it would be either because they did not know his true nature or were after his wealth.
However, she was sure that Pei Ge was not the kind of woman who would chase after her cousin for money.
Moreover, the latter was someone with a kind heart in her eyes.
Others might think that Pei Ge was unworthy of her cousin, but she, on the other hand, thought that it was the opposite; her cousin was the one unworthy of her sister.
