Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

No matter how much wild the gossip spread, Pei Xin stood firm.

She only had one purpose for coming here, and that was to help Li Ze and Jiang Yan bid for this piece of land.

She had done a lot of research before this.

First, she investigated the companies that had the ability to bid for this land. Then, she searched for the latest information on these companies and analyzed the funds they might have reserved.

Then, she combined the financial situation of Li Ze’s company and Jiang Yan’s company to analyze the highest price they could offer.

With Pei Xin’s hard work, she had a hundred percent confidence in winning this land auction.

However, just as they were about to take their seats, another commotion arrived on the set.

Pei Xin looked towards the source of the voice. After seeing who it was, Pei Xin’s eyes widened.

It was Pei Yu and his parents.

Once they saw Pei Xin, Mrs. Pei rushed up and slapped her.

“B*tch, why are you trying to seduce Lu Li again?!” she scolded. “Ling Xue has suffered for so many years. Why don’t you give up? Stop playing tricks! Are you planning to contact all your old lovers? Did you come here to seduce Li Ze? Do you have any shame?”

Li Ze and Jiang Yan frowned.

Jiang Yan stood in front of Pei Xin and looked at Mrs. Pei “There is a misunderstanding. Pei Xin is representing my company to participate in this auction. She is not representing Li Ze’s company. Also, I’m Li Ze’s fiance. I don’t recall making this a big issue. What right do you have to criticize me and my staff? I should know best as his fiance. What evidence do you have to prove that Pei Xin is here to seduce Li Ze?”

Pei Xin looked at the ground. She always lacked confidence when facing Mrs. Pei.

Before her identity was exposed, Mrs. Pei treated her like a national treasure. As long as she wanted something, Mrs. Pei would buy it for her.

Every year on her birthday, Mr. Pei would prepare the biggest gift for her.

During the years she lived in the Pei family, Mrs. Pei doted on her everyday. Sometimes, when she had an argument with Pei Yu, Mrs. Pei would often stand on her side.

She had received a lot of motherly love from Mrs. Pei.

After learning that the nanny had swapped two daughters, Mrs. Pei’s hatred for her grew. She hated herself for not realizing that Pei Xin was not her biological daughter. She hated herself for giving all the love to Pei Xin that should have belonged to Ling Xue.

The more she loved Pei Xin in the past, the more she hated Pei Xin now.

Li Ze also looked at Mrs. Pei unhappily. “My relationship with Pei Xin is clean. Did you come here to slander my reputation?”

Mrs. Pei sneered. “Li Ze, don’t you bring every other woman into your bed every night? Why should you care about Pei Xin?”

Li Zeyan narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Mrs. Pei, this is Haicheng, this is not your capital. If you want to behave atrociously, you have to see if you have the power to defend yourself.”

Mrs. Pei became even angrier.

She came here to teach Pei Xin a lesson, but these two people were in her way.

Pei Xin was just a lowly nanny’s daughter. What right did these two people have to protect her like this?

“Even if the Pei family’s roots are not in Haicheng, are you sure you want to make an enemy out of the Pei family for a b*tch like her” Mrs. Pei said arrogantly.

“The matter between Pei Xin and your Pei family is not a secret.” Li Ze’s eyes were deep. “Back then, Pei Xin and Ling Xue were exchanged. It was your nanny’s doing. It had nothing to do with Pei Xin. If you truly want to pursue the matter, you should ask yourself why you couldn’t even take care of your own daughter. You should figure out why you allowed your own daughter to be replaced with the nanny’s daughter instead of blaming everything on Pei Xin.”

Mrs. Pei’s expression turned even uglier when Li Ze exposed the truth.

She had regretted it more than once. She should not have trusted the nanny too much.

Usually, no one dared to say these words, but now Li Ze was openly criticizing her in front of so many people.

Mrs. Pei was so angry that her face turned red..
