Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 166: You Deserve This

Only a handful of people would understand what Peng Zijie was talking about. Even in his own family, the only ones who knew about it was him and Peng Da.

Peng Zixian was presumably unaware of her own condition. He wasn’t prepared to tell anyone else about this. After all, Peng Zixian was known to many as the young mistress of the mighty Peng family. No doubt, if this information fell into the wrong hands, the public would soon know about this.

He thought that Gu Xiqiao would be shocked but to his astonishment, she merely responded to this with a plain smile.

“Mr. Peng, I do sympathize with Miss Peng’s less than ideal mental health. However, this has become a convenient excuse for her to hurt others and get away with it scot-free.” Gu Xiqiao said as she spun her phone in her hand. Looking up, she observed Peng Zijie’s eyes grow duller by the second.

Hearing her say that, Peng Zijie’s eyes widened. “You knew about this?!”

His voice turned sharp all of a sudden.

“Well, more or less,” Gu Xiqiao nodded. “It was hard not to notice.”

She sighed, thinking about her encounter with Peng Zixian. Unfortunate people were a dime a dozen in this world and most of them bore no ill will even after going through terrible ordeals. What set Peng Zixian apart from these people? Was it really necessary for her to harm others just because she drew the short end of a stick?

Peng Zijie’s voice grew hoarse. “Zixian’s life the past few years have been rough. She has been through a lot of suffering already, could you please forgive her this time?”

“Her life? Rough?” Gu Xiqiao snorted. “Mr. Peng, do you know what your sister did last night? Yes! She’s your sister and of course you’ll be on her side! What about Xiao Yun? Do you still remember how you treated those people seven years ago?!”

Peng Zixian had her brother, so she could bully Xiao Yun, who had no one? If Gu Xiqiao hadn’t been there yesterday night, she didn’t dare to imagine what Xiao Yun would have had to suffer through?

Seven years ago, those men were put through living hell! Hints of bloodlust appeared in Peng Zijie’s eyes the moment memories from back then returned to his mind.

“Good, looks like you do remember that incident.” Gu Xiqiao tapped on an email on her phone. “However, I bet you didn’t know what Miss Peng did before that. Mr. Peng, please check the email that you received.”

Peng Zijie’s phone rang. He looked down to discover a new email from a stranger. In an instant, he understood that it was something Gu Xiqiao had sent him.

This was a detailed account of Peng Zixian’s crimes. Apart from Xiao Yun, his little sister had used a multitude of methods to eliminate seven innocent girls, one of which, was once her assistant. The reason: staring at Tang Qingqiu for one second too long.

Peng Zijie was left speechless. He stood there in silence, frozen like a statue.

He was completely oblivious to all this.

“Two days. I give you two days’ time Mr. Peng. Get Peng Zixian to admit her crimes. Alternatively, you can put her behind bars yourself. I want you to think about this long and hard.” Gu Xiqiao tucked her phone away and returned to the studio.

It took Peng Zijie a while to regain his senses. After his brief exchange with Gu Xiqiao, his body had become stiff, like a corpse. Although the sunlight wasn’t very intense, he was slightly feverish. Why did things turn out like this? Was the person in that email really his beloved little sister?
