Chapter 856: If I had his child back then…


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


The Ji was a prestigious family in Beijing.


Therefore, even though it was only an engagement party, it was especially grand.


The Ji family did not choose to hold the party at any of the five-star hotels in the capital. Instead, they chose to host the engagement party at a hot-spring resort in the suburban area.


Given that it was early spring, a hot-spring hotel was a great fit.


All the distinguished guests started removing their extra layers after they stepped into the resort.


As time pa.s.sed, more guests arrived.


Still, despite the large number of guests, everything proceeded in an orderly fas.h.i.+on.


Because of the sufficient amount of manpower that had been allocated beforehand, the situation was kept under control despite the growing number of guests.


“I heard that this daughter-in-law of the Ji family has an ordinary background.”


“Doesn’t everyone in our circle know this already?”


“Not just our circle, even members of the public know this Cinderella’s origin.”


“He he! Isn’t it really embarra.s.sing for that Qiao family’s Jingyun? She’s been claiming herself to be the Ji family’s daughter-in-law, after all. How long has she been hara.s.sing young master Ji… Tsk, tsk, tsk! In the end, she got nothing.”


“Yes! From how confident she was before, I actually regarded her as the Ji house’s future lady. Hmph! In the end…”


“It’s good that that woman lost her advantage; she’s been a thorn in my flesh ever since.”


“In this day and age, it’s a lot easier to add to someone else’s misery. If it’s that woman we’re talking about, I’m more than happy to do it…”


“Ha ha ha!”



Qiao Jingyun, who was silently sipping her champagne at the side, took in everything that these ladies said.


Nonetheless, as if the topic was not her, she had kept a straight face this whole time.


After she drank all the champagne from the crystal gla.s.s, she walked away from the place with a gentle smile.


She only stopped when she got to a secluded place.


As if in appreciation of the view around her, she lifted her head and stared up in the sky.


In that instant, she looked so gentle and elegant, and as if she were part of a painting, she blended into the beautiful scenery around her strangely well.


“Miss Qiao…”


When Sister Yun got there, the first thing she saw was her elegant and beautiful demeanor.


A hint of sadness and melancholia flashed through this beautiful lady’s clear, brown eyes.


“You’re here.” Qiao Jingyun dipped her head and retracted her somewhat sad gaze. “Those two, are they already here?”


Sister Yun’s heart ached for this woman.


In her heart, she cursed Pei Ge, confused on why her young master would choose such a woman with no redeeming qualities.


In her eyes, her young master deserved the best woman in the world.


Even though she did not have an exact idea of what the best woman would be like, she knew that it was not that mediocre lady.


Unlike that low-cla.s.s lady, Qiao Jingyun, who was close to her young master, was the best choice!


Besides being elegant, poised, and kind, she truly loved her young master. This lady was different from that Pei Ge, who was only in it for the money.


“Young master and that woman have yet to arrive.”


She furrowed her brows a little and then sighed. “Miss Qiao, it’s just an engagement; don’t despair. I believe that young master will see that woman’s true colors.”


Qiao Jingyun’s lips upturned a little upon hearing the other’s words, yet her eyes were still full of sorrow.


“Sometimes, I wonder if Ziming and I just don’t have that fate. If not, why would he marry someone else in the blink of an eye after so many years of being me…


“Should I give up?”


Looking at how fragile this lady appeared, this elderly woman’s frown deepened and she clasped her hands tightly.


“Don’t think like that, miss. Young master is only temporarily bewitched by that woman. You’re an important woman who grew up with him. Don’t despair. There must be a special place for you in his heart.”


Qiao Jingyun smiled bitterly at those words. “Tell me, then. What can I do for him to return to my side? I heard that uncle and auntie really like her. Uncle even appointed her as a high-ranking employee in the Ji Group.”


Other than the man, she was most jealous of the fact that Pei Ge managed to do what she could not.


She once wanted to enter the Ji Group but failed to do so and was even chased out of the country by his father.


How did that woman, who was inferior to her in every way, obtain the approval of his parents and managed to enter the Ji Group management?


She was indignant! She was upset!


She was clearly his life savior, right?


“Miss Qiao…”


Looking at this lady’s pained expression, Sister Yun could not help but feel sad as well.


It could be said that she had watched her grow up. Seeing her like this, thus, pained her, too.


“I-If… back then, I sealed the deal with Ziming, would it be better today? Would things develop differently? If… If I got pregnant with his child before I left the country, would I be the star of this engagement party?”


Immediately after she had uttered these words, this elderly woman, who was feeling sorry for her, promptly lifted her head and looked at her in disbelief.


“M-Miss Qiao, w-what are you saying?”


What seal the deal? What get pregnant?!
