1265 Hindi pwedeng maging tunay ang peke

Bang. Humampas sa lapag ang magandang babae.

At that moment, a young man opened the door of the hall and entered slowly.

Sa oras na iyon, may isang binata na bumukas ng pintuan ng hall at dahan-dahan itong pumasok.

The man wore a black suit with an extraordinary aura. Judging from his looks, he was of both Western and Asian descent.

May suot na itim na suit ay kakaiba ang awra ng lalaking pumasok. Mapapansin sa kanyang mukha na mula siya sa Western at Asian descent.

"Emperor Ji." The man walked to the base of Emperor Ji's chair, his bearing refined, and he bowed slightly to Emperor Ji.

"Emperor Ji." Naglakad patungo sa ilalim ng upuan ni Emperor Ji ang lalaki, napagara ng kanyang itsura at nag-bow siya ng kaunti kay Emperor Ji.

The faint smile returned to the man's face, and his gaze shifted.

Muling bumalik ang ngiti sa mukha ng lalaki at nag-iba na ang kanyang reaksyon.

The hall turned completely silent when its occupants saw the refined man dressed in a suit.

Nanahimik ang buong hall nang makita ng mga tao ang lalaki na nakasuot ng suit.

One of the eight gods under Emperor Ji—Skeleton…

Isa siya sa walong diyos sa ilalim ni Emperor Ji– Si Skeleton...

"Skeleton, tell me," Emperor Ji said with a light chuckle.

"Skeleton, sabihin mo sa akin," masayang sinabi ni Emperor Ji.

The man in a suit, Skeleton, nodded and thought over his words before reporting to Emperor Ji, "Emperor Ji, we've thoroughly investigated the situation with the Nie family. The Nie family's Second Miss has indeed returned to the Nie family, and they've conducted DNA testing and confirmed that she is Second Miss Worriless Nie. However, the Nie family currently has the news under lockdown and hasn't publicized this matter yet."

Tumango ang lalaki na nakasuof ng suit na si Skeleton, pinagisipan niya muna ang mga sasabihin niya bago siya mag-report kay Emperor Ji, "Emperor Ji, inimbestigahan namin ng maigi ang sitwasyon sa Nie family. Bumalik na ang sa Nie family ang kanilang Second Miss, at nag DNA testing na rin sila ay nakumpirma nila na siya nga si Miss Worriless Nie. Ngunit itinago ng Nie family sa publiko ang impormasyong ito."

"Oh… Is that so?" Emperor Ji's lips turned up with an odd smile when he heard Skeleton's report.

"Ah… ganoon ba?" Kakaiba ang ngiti ni Emperor Ji nang marinig niya ang report ni Skeleton.

"Emperor Ji, since we've confirmed that Miss Worriless has returned, should we prepare to visit her?" Skeleton asked.

"Emperor Ji, dahil na-kumpirma na namin na dumating na si Miss Worriless, kailangan ba naming paghandaan ang pagbisita mo sa kanya?" Tinanong ni Skeleton.

"No need." Emperor Ji said dryly, "The genuine can't become fake, but the fake also can't become genuine."

"Hindi na." Manhid na sinagot ni Emperor Ji, "Hindi pwedeng maging peke ang totoo at hindi rin pwedeng maging totoo ang peke."

Skeleton's eyes turned icy. "Emperor Ji is saying that… the second miss who showed up at the Nie family isn't the real Miss Worriless?"

Naging manhid ang tingin ni Skeleton. "Ang sinasabi ni Emperor Ji ay… ang second miss na biglang dumating sa Nie family ay ang pekeng Miss Worriless?"

"Heh. Miss Worriless is Emperor Ji's fiancée, and you and Miss Worriless are childhood sweethearts, so you know Miss Worriless better than Patriarch Nie and Madam Nie. If that girl really is the real Miss Worriless, there's no way she would stay inside the Nie residence for so long…" a certain higher-up said with a chuckle.

"Heh. Fiancée ni Emperor Ji si Miss Worriless, habang ikaw at si Miss Worriless ay childhood sweethearts, kaya mas kilala mo si Miss Worriless kaysa kay Patriarch Nie at Madam Nie. Kung si Miss Worriless talaga ang babaeng iyon, imposible na mananatili pa siya ng matagal sa loov ng Nie residence…"patawa na sinabi ng isang mataas na opisyal.

Emperor Ji didn't respond to him and merely said with a smile, "How interesting… A fake Worriless appeared in the Nie family and could deceive the outstandingly intelligent Madam Nie. That Third Miss is probably the only one in the entire Nie family who is capable of doing this."

Hindi sumagot sa kanya si Emperor Ji at sumagot lamang ito nang nakangiti, "Ganoon ba… isang pekeng Worriless ang biglang sumulpot sa Nie family para linlalingin ang napakatalino na si Madam Nie. Si Third Miss siguro ang kaisa-isang tao sa buong Nie family ang may gawa nito."

Skeleton said, "Third Miss of the Nie family, Nie Linglong… an orphan who Miss Worriless rescued from a patrician family when she was young. Nie Linglong was originally a daughter of some small martial patrician family in the Independent State, but her clan was extinguished because her parents offended a great patrician family. Only Nie Linglong was rescued by Miss Worriless. After that, Miss Worriless meticulously took care of her and brought her back to the Nie family. Madam Nie saw that she was well-behaved and clever, so Madam Nie took her in as an adopted daughter."

Sabi ni Skeleton, "Si Nie Lin Long, ang Third Miss ng Nie family… isang ulilang bata na niligtas ni Miss Worriless sa isang mayaman na pamilya noong bata pa siya. Si Nie Lin Long ay ang anak ng isang maliit na patrician family sa Independent State, ngunit pinatay ang buong clan nila dahil nagsalita ng masama ang mga magulang niya sa isang kilalang patrician family. Si Nie Lin Long lamang ang niligtas ni Miss Worriless. Pagkatapos nito, inalagaan siya ng maigi ni Miss Worriless at dinala siya nito sa Nie family. Nakita ni Madam Nie na siya ay mabait at matalino, kaya inampon siya ni Madam Nie bilang anak niya."

"That's right." Ji Xiuran smiled with mockery in his eyes. "However, this Nie Linglong doesn't seem to be grateful in the slightest…"

"Tama." Ngumiti si Ji Xiu Ran habang makikita ang pagkutya sa kanyang mga mata. "Pero, hindi pala mapagpasalamat ang Lin Long na ito…"

Although Nie Linglong became the third miss of the Nie family, she had to live in Worriless' shadows the entire time, so she probably became disloyal a long time ago out of greed.

Siguro matagal nang nawala ang katapatan ni Nie Lin Long sa Nie family dahil sa kasakiman. Kahit na siya ay naging third miss ng Nie family, sa anino lamang ng Nie family siya nabubuhay.

"Emperor Ji, since it's like that…" A certain higher-up's eyes resembled daggers.

"Kung ganoon nga, Emperor Ji…" parang mga pana ang tingin ng isang mataas na opisyal.

If the second miss in the Nie family was really an imposter, then they could expose her to the patriarch of the Nie family if they had concrete evidence.

Pwede nilang ilantad ang nagkukunwaring Miss Worriless sa patriarch ng Nie family bilang kongkretong ebidensya, kung totoo nga na peke siya.

"No need to interfere with the Nie family's business." The man above them shook his head before the higher-up finished speaking.

"Hindi na kailangang mangialam pa sa problema ng Nie family." Isang sa mga matatas na opisyal ang umiling bago siya matapos sa kanyang sinasabi.

"Haha. Emperor Ji, ever since Miss Worriless went missing, that Nie Linglong has wanted to see you every day… I wager she's nothing good since she wants to snatch her own sister's fiancé," an elderly man guffawed.

"Haha. Emperor Ji, simula nang mawala si Miss Worriless, gusto kang makita araw-araw nung Nie Lin Long na iyon… pusta ko masama ang ugali 'non dahil gusto niyang nakawin ang fiancé ng kanyang kapatid," may sumabad na isang matandang lalaki.

Emperor Ji didn't reply to him and merely intently looked at the high-spirited girl in the photo in his hand.

Hindi sumagot si Emperor Ji at tiningnan niya lamang ang ganadong batang babae sa litrato na nasa kamay niya.

"Worriless…"

…
