Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

e? Wake up.
Now is not the time for such unrealistic thoughts.

After paying the fare, she alighted from the cab.

She was jolted out of her pensive thoughts by the cold win, and her whole being became alert.

She lifted her head and looked at her relatives’ villa; coldness flashed across her eyes as she walked toward it.

Ding dong! Ding dong! The doorbell rang for so long, but no one opened the door.

Just as her expression grew somber, someone from inside the villa finally responded.

“Pei Ge, is something the matter?”

In the past, whenever she stood outside the door, the housekeeper, who saw her through the security camera, would always open the door without any questions asked.
Today, however, she did not open the door.

Hearing the voice through the intercom, her forehead promptly scrunched up.

“I’m looking for second uncle,” she replied calmly, though her face was nothing but cold.

Could it be that I was not even able to pass through the door?

“Oh, sir is not in yet,” the housekeeper informed without thinking, as though it had been pre-rehearsed.

He he… Not in, huh.

She snorted and calmly said through the intercom, “Then, I’ll look for second auntie.
She can’t be out, right?”

“That…” The housekeeper seemed not to have expected such response, and a flash of panic could be seen in her eyes.

This panicky reaction confirmed Pei Ge’s guess that her second uncle was at home and that the housekeeper was lying.

“Hang on.” Saying this, no other sound came through the intercom for a while.

She stood out there in the cold until the housekeeper returned to inform her.

“Pei Ge, Madam said she has nothing worth saying to you and asked you to leave.” Her voice was full of sympathy.

Her look of ridicule intensified at the housekeeper’s words.

“Nothing worth saying?” She let out a cold laugh and said with ridicule, “Then, you tell them that I am here for money – the money that they owe my family.”

In the future, she and her mother would really take it that they never had these relatives…

Thinking of this, she felt a little sad inside.

“Pei Ge, you should leave.
Sir and madam are actually at home, but they don’t wish to see you.
Madam already instructed me not to deliver any message on your behalf.
She also said… that you can stand outside for however long you like, and it will have nothing to do with them even if you freeze to death out here.”

The housekeeper confided with sympathy when she saw the hurt in her eyes.

“I advise that you go and don’t waste your time here.”

She sighed helplessly at the housekeeper’s words and knew in her heart that it would be as her second auntie had said; even if she stood outside the entire night, the cold-blooded family of three would not open their door for her.

“… Thank you,” she expressed her gratitude to the housekeeper after pondering for a while and then turned to walk away.

They were clearly such close relatives previously, so how did they become like this today?

With this thought in mind, she turned to look back in sorrow at her relatives’ villa and happened to spot Pei Shishi looking silently at her from the second-floor window.

From afar, she could see her cousin’s apathetic smile… that had a visible tinge of… schadenfreude.

Heh…

She looked her cousin in the eye with much indifference, and her lips curved into a smile before averting her gaze.

From now onward, it would be as her mother had said; they would have nothing to do with them.
