The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Sun Jiao was Unwilling

“An Nuan.”

An Nuan shivered when she listened to Sun Jiao’s sweet voice. The bright smile on her face almost made An Nuan throw up. An Nuan watched as Sun Jiao walked over in her direction.

Ren Di leaned closer to An Nuan and whispered, “What’s wrong with her? Do you think Sun Jiao was hit on the head?”

“I don’t know.” An Nuan shook her head. She could not understand what was going on with Sun Jiao. She was being strange.

Just as Sun Jiao was approaching, An Nuan instinctively took a step back.

The smile on Sun Jiao’s face stiffened briefly. She was not expecting An Nuan to draw back.

“You… what are you trying to do?” Ren Di stepped in front of An Nuan with a protective stance. “If you have something to say, just say it from that distance. Don’t get too close to us.”

Sun Jiao’s expression turned ugly. “I am not talking to you.” She shaped at Ren Di. “You stay out of this. I just need to speak to An Nuan.”

Ren Di raised a brow. “So that you can continue hurting An Nuan? Sun Jiao, let me tell you… It’s impossible.”

She had seen the way Sun Jiao talked to An Nuan each time Pei Zhi Yi was not around. This girl’s attitude was too different. Sun Jiao was really good at being two-faced.

“An Nuan…” Sun Jiao tried to smile while greeting her teeth. “Please. I just need to talk to you for a bit. Listen to me for a while. Just give me a few minutes.”

Sun Jiao tried to suppress her unhappiness.

She did not have the intention to be nice to An Nuan. However, right now she had no other choice but to grit her teeth and smile sweetly at An Nuan.

Last week, her adoptive parents, the Pei couple, called her back.

Sun Jiao was in a good mood, thinking that Mother Pei wanted her accompaniment as usual.

The Pei couple only had Pei Zhi Yi as their son and had always treated her as their daughter.

Sun Jiao’s relationship with the Pei couple was considered very good.

After all, her late parents were good friends of the Pei’s.

That was the reason the Pei couple took her back and adopted her after her parents had passed away.

As soon as she stepped into the Pei’s house, Sun Jiao could tell that their mood was a little strange. It was the first time that Sun Jiao did not receive the same warm welcome.

Instead of having a warm family dinner, the couple made her sit in the living room while warning her to repair her relationship with An Nuan. The couple wanted her to help Pei Zhi Yi get together with An Nuan again.

Sun Jiao did not want to.

It was not easy for her to get rid of An Nuan from Pei Zhi Yi’s side. How can she bear watching Pei Zhi Yi and An Nuan get together again?

This was her time to stay by Pei Zhi Yi’s side.

The man might think of her as his younger sister. However, Sun Jiao was confident that sooner or later, Pei Zhi Yi would be able to see her as a woman. Then, the Pei couple would think of her as their daughter-in-law.

They will live happily just as they used to.

It was not impossible, especially as she did not have any blood relationship with the Pei family.

Of course, these were the words that Sun Jiao did not dare to say in front of the Pei couple.

If she wants to convince the Pei family to change their view of her, she will have to do it slowly.

Sun Jiao thought that Father Pei would take her side and stop Mother Pei from urging her to make up with An Nuan. However, this time she was mistaken.

When Sun Jiao refused to listen, Father Pei scolded her instead.

Father Pei blamed her for ruining Pei Zhi Yi’s wedding.

If only she had not called Pei Zhi Yi that day, the couple would be wed by now.

It was the first time Sun Jiao was scolded since she came to the Pei residence.

Sun Jiao was unwilling and her hatred towards An Nuan increased.

Later, Mother Pei explained that the Pei business encountered some trouble. In the past, the An family had agreed to invest some money into their project. However, the An family changed their mind when Pei Zhi Yi did not marry An Nuan.

The news of An Group pulling out their investment in PS Group spread.

Right now, a few companies that used to work with PS Group are considering stopping working with them. Their stock market dropped and it was getting worse day by day.

If they did not do something, the Pei family might go bankrupt.

Sun Jiao tried to look at the bigger picture.

If the Pei family goes bankrupt, then where is she going to get her pocket money?

Sun Jiao was spoiled by the Pei family and could not bear the hardship.

After considering her choice, Sun Jiao decided to find An Nuan and bear with her for a little longer.

In the past few days, Sun Jiao has been looking for An Nuan but failed. She did not expect that luck would be on her side and she would meet An Nuan in Capital City.

Although she was very unwilling, Sun Jiao had no other choice but to put a smile on her face.

“An Nuan, please…” Sun Jiao continued when An Nuan stayed silent. “You should know that my brother missed you very much.” Her hand tightened to a fist as she said those words. “An Nuan, last time was my fault. I should not have called Pei Zhi Yi and made him miss his wedding. I was wrong. An Nuan, give my brother another chance, alright?”

An Nuan had goosebumps listening to Sun Jiao’s words and watching her acting coquettishly.

She swept her eyes around the area, wondering if Pei Zhi Yi was nearby. After all, the only time Sun Jiao would speak sweetly like this was when Pei Zhi Yi was around.

“Sun Jiao, if you are sick, you should go to the hospital,” Ren Di said. “Don’t come and look for An Nuan. She is not a doctor.”

“I’m not sick!” Sun Jiao glared at Ren Di.

“Oh really?” Ren Di pointed a finger to her head. “I think you might have a problem here.”
