The party behind her resumed its liveliness. It was only a matter of time before Peng Zezai got a divorce since he disliked so much. She leaned closer to the edge and looked down. The villa was taller than the average building. Suddenly, her body leaned forward and she felt closer to the ground.
"Ah!" she cried out in fear, her heart pounding.
Zheng Zilin grabbed her, and pulled her back. "What? Do you want to jump down too?"
She was afraid of heights to begin with, so when he grabbed her, her legs went limp and she stepped back. The back of her head hit something hard, and she looked up at Peng Zezai's protruding Adam's apple. She barely managed to stand up against him.
He pinched her slender waist. "How did I remind you?"
He said that he was ready to collect her corpse at any time.
"I remember it now." She was so scared that her face turned pale.
"Look, you scared her so much that her face turned white." Zheng Zilin leaned against the carved railing.
"Who was the one who scared her? Don't you know?" Peng Zezai looked down at him. "Stand properly."
"I'm not feeling well, so I won't disturb you." She squeezed out a smile and slowly walked away.
She quietly turned her head and glanced at the two handsome men. Their eyes were sparkling. Was this love?
Suddenly, Peng Zezai turned around and walked in her direction. Sigh! No, you're going the wrong way! Just as she walked out of the building, Peng Zezai followed her.
"Are you following me? I saw that happy birthday was written on the hanging balloon. You can't leave now, right?"
"I'm going to wash my hands."
Wash his hands? She understood. He just helped her up a little. Could it be that he was a germaphobe?
The two of them went downstairs together and looked down from the spiral staircase. They also felt afraid. She held the handrail tightly and said calmly, "I'm going to touch up my makeup..."
"Brother Peng, you left early last night. If you leave early again tonight, can we still be brothers? If you really can't stand the fact that the room is clean, hurry back," Chen Mo said with a wicked smile.
"Did he misunderstand?"
"Yes."
"Actually, I don't hold your feelings against you at all. If you told me the truth, perhaps I wouldn't have married you, and you wouldn't be in so much pain. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I hope it's not too late." Zhao Jia looked at him sincerely, "You have to bravely pursue your own happiness..."
He was silent.
What was she saying? He could understand every word, but when it was all put together, what was she trying to say? Did she have a fever? Or did she go crazy?
Peng Zezai said coldly, "What do you want to do now?"
"Nothing. I'm prepared to fulfill your wish..."
"Retreat in order to advance? Forcing me to hold a wedding? Zhao Jia, you've used these tricks before, and you still don't want to give up?" The only difference was that she had added amnesia.
"You've misunderstood me, I didn't mean it that way." She shook her head. "I know you don't like me, I'll leave."
She walked very quickly. The party was on the top floor and there was no one downstairs. It was very quiet. She sat on the swing and took out her phone to send another message to her brother. She still received a red exclamation mark. Could it be that her brother knew that Peng Zezai liked a man, so he did not want him to marry her?
What had she experienced in the past five years? She was too stupid and stubborn. She wished she could slap herself.
"Yo... you're sitting on the swing alone?" Lin Qingyan walked over leisurely.
She touched up her makeup and her face looked exquisite. "Everyone knows that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Peng family is just a status symbol. I was respecting your image."
"Is there a status symbol as good-looking as mine? For someone who is about to be sued, you're still so arrogant."
"The person who should be sued is you, right? If something is not yours, you shouldn't even think about it. You've already had it for three years. It's time to return it to Wan Wan. If you know what's good for you, then leave early."
Zhao Jia sat lazily. "As a bystander, you want to be the judge? Even if I was out of the picture, the two of them wouldn't be together."
The fact that Peng Zezai was able to marry her showed everything. He only needed a marriage of convenience.
Lin Qingyan snorted. "You can run your mouth, but you're also quite cheap. Seeing that Peng Zezai was about to abandon you, you went to find his sworn enemy."
Sworn enemy? Zheng Zilin? On the surface, they had never interacted with each other, but in private, they were in cahoots. These two had concealed themselves quite well...
"I will watch you fall from the heavens to the ground right alongside Wan Wan."
"I know I'm very beautiful. You like to look at beautiful things, but don't keep staring at me. Don't treat me as your idol." She pretended to be shy and touched her face.
She was stunned into silence.
This Zhao Jia was absolutely crazy. Did she know who the real star was?
"You... We'll see!" Lin Qingyan turned and left.
Not long after she walked out, she picked up the phone. Her manager's panicked voice came from the other end. "Ru Chu sent a lawyer's letter on Weibo to sue you for not abiding by the contract. How did you get discovered? It's already trending."
