1237 She is the woman I want to marry in this life. (1/2)
”What is going on here?!”
Madam Ji could not believe her eyes. She did not expect to see another woman in her son's private lodge.
Furthermore, this woman was someone her family was indebted to.
Even though she used to think that this woman was quite nice and was a good fit as her daughter-in-law, that was just a passing thought.
Seeing her staying under the same roof as her son and dressed so scandalously… she immediately felt uncomfortable.
Besides, she even brought Qu Jingwan along.
This situation would only make this lady with her uncomfortable!
”Miss Regina… wh-why are you here a-and in my son's clothes…”
Her words jolted Qu Jingwan back to herself. She looked at Pei Ge with tears in her eyes, and panic in her words…
She looked so pitiful.
Her manner fueled the older woman's emotions.
She was not flustered despite the situation, nor did she act like someone who had been caught red-handed.
She smiled at the two and then turned to the man.
”You talk.”
She did not directly answer the question and instead left it to him.
Looking at the two's inappropriate closeness, the older woman's fondness for her decreased drastically.
Qu Jingwan's expression froze a little. She did not expect this woman to be an obstacle to her marriage into the Ji family.
She thought that her biggest obstacle would be 'Pei Ge' from who knew where.
Besides, she assumed that that woman was the one with him when he refused to leave his personal lodge.
Surprisingly, the woman with him was Regina!
When did these two get together?
Had they not just met each other?!
Amid this heavy and awkward atmosphere, the man opened his mouth to speak.
”Mom, she's the woman I want to marry in this life.”
The atmosphere in the room grew tenser after he said that.
His words made the two newcomers pause.
They did not expect him to say something like that.
”She's the woman you want to marry…”
Probably due to shock, Qu Jingwan stumbled as she looked at the man with a pale face.
”What about me? I'm your fiancée…”
”Jingwan…”
Madam Ji's heart went to her when she saw how distraught she looked.
She had regarded this girl as her future daughter-in-law.
