After five years together, Li Zhi watched her boyfriend put a ring on his old flame’s finger in front of a crowd of thousands and accept their blessings.
That night, mocked by everyone, she decisively broke up with him and impulsively married her ex-boyfriend’s older brother.
Pei Jinci sneered. “Li Zhi, you think you can make it in the capital’s social scene without me?”
He casually waited for Li Zhi to come crawling back and beg to get back together. But as he waited, he discovered...
Li Zhi was landing one fantastic opportunity after another.
Her opportunities were so good that even her haters started spreading rumors that she had latched onto some powerful man and even borne him an illegitimate child.
Pei Jinci finally couldn’t sit still. He went to see her himself, only to run into his own older brother, Pei Shiyan.
Pei Shiyan was a powerful and renowned figure in the capital’s social circles, a business tycoon who rarely appeared in public. Still, online discussions about him never ceased.
More importantly, he was Pei Jinci’s biological brother.
After nightfall, the two men met outside Li Zhi’s door and got into a fight.
Pei Jinci’s eyes were red as he gritted his teeth. “Pei Shiyan, she’s my fiancée, your sister-in-law!”
Pei Shiyan calmly straightened his collar and reminded him in a cool voice, “She used to be.”
Pei Jinci was about to throw another punch when the tightly shut door slowly opened. Li Zhi looked at them lazily. “Done fighting? Come in and help me cook.”
Pei Jinci’s face lit up. “Zhizhi, I knew you wouldn’t...”
Before he could finish, Pei Shiyan had already walked inside. The black slippers he’d changed into were exactly the same style as the pair on Li Zhi’s feet.
Before closing the door, Pei Shiyan tossed out one icy remark. “Next time we meet, remember to call her sister-in-law!”
Inside, he pressed Li Zhi against the door and kissed her passionately, his fingertips gently brushing the beauty mark at the corner of her eye. In a hoarse voice, he asked, “Zhizhi, who’s better, him or me?”
