Chapter 1850: A Rare Beauty In This World

“Sorry for making Old master Qu wait.”

Pei Ge smiled as she walked out. The beautiful lady behind her looked at them coldly, as though she was looking at two unrelated people. The most reputable people in the capital were all here.

“Xiao Yue, come over and bring the tea to Old master Qu.”

Pei Ge softly called out to the elegant beauty called Xiao Yue.

“Yes, Madam.”

Xiao Yue walked forward and placed the porcelain cup in front of Pei Ge. “Madam, the new tea is ready.”

“Okay, thank you, Xiao Yue.”

Pei Ge raised her teacup and passed it to Old master Qu. Her attitude was gentle but her eyes were distant.

“Old master Qu, please have some tea.”

“Okay.”

Old master Qu looked at Pei Ge’s eyes and was slightly stunned. This look was too similar. It was as though the woman from back then had returned to him. However, this time, it made Old master Qu feel that things had changed.

“Ge Ge, I…”

Just as he was in a daze, Ji Ziming walked forward and picked up the porcelain cup in Pei Ge’s hand. “Old master Qu, it would be a pity if we don’t taste such a good cup of tea at the most suitable temperature. Old master Qu and Old lady Qu have been brewing tea for so many years and this is his birthday so he wants me to send a cup to Old master Qu. Does Old master Qu not want to drink it?”

“How is that possible? I have to taste the tea Mr Ji brought.”

Old master Qu smiled resentfully. He looked at Pei Ge and then at the porcelain cup in Ji Ziming’s hand before taking a sip.

The familiar taste lingered in his mouth and the bitter taste lingered in his mouth for a long time. Just as Old master Qu was about to swallow it, the fragrance in his mouth suddenly bloomed like flowers in spring.

“How is it, Old master Qu?”

Ji Ziming’s cold voice rang beside Old master Qu’s ears. Old master Qu opened his eyes and all the guests held their breaths to see if Old master Qu had anything else to say. However, after Old master Qu took a sip of tea, he did not say anything.

“This tea?”

Old master Qu was surprised. Where did he drink this tea before? His memory became clearer and clearer. This tea was familiar to him when he was young.

“Do you like it?”

Ji Ziming glanced at Xiao Yue who was standing behind Pei Ge. Her cold demeanor was worlds apart from Uncle Bai’s.

The white moon, the stars and moon in the day.

It was a rare beauty in this world.

“May I ask where Mr Ji got this tea from? This tea is indeed an old thing, if someone had not left it behind, I’m afraid I won’t be able to drink it today.”

Old master Qu smiled benevolently and did not look sad at all. However, his heart was in turmoil.

“Old master Qu, you don’t need to care where this thing came from. You just need to know that this tea is a gift from me, Ji Ziming.”

Ji Ziming smiled as his cold eyes swept past Old lady Qu who was beside Old master Qu. “Old lady Qu, do you want to try it too?”

“I don’t want it. The tea leaves are old master’s favorite, I shall not drink them. Besides, I’m afraid the tea leaves are precious, it would be a waste if I drink them.”

Old lady Qu thought of the clue behind the tea leaves and quickly rejected it. This was that woman’s proud work. Old lady Qu, who knew Zhang Manhua’s mother back then, already knew this fact.

Old master Qu, who loved drinking tea, had always liked this unique taste. However, no matter how Old lady Qu studied and imitated it later on, she did not manage to imitate it at all.

Later on, Old lady Qu came up with a good method which was to research her unique tea leaf method and let Old master Qu taste something else instead of the enjoyment that woman gave him.

“Old lady Qu, you are so familiar with this tea?”

Ji Ziming raised his brows and smiled at Old lady Qu. He was thinking of how to remove this ugly mask of hers. There were so many people in the Qu family mansion today and it was too easy to expose someone.

“How would I be familiar with it? I’ve only heard a little bit about this tea leaf from the old master. I don’t know how this tea leaf disappeared despite its good sales back then.”

Old lady Qu unintentionally mentioned the ending of the tea leaves back then.

“Oh? It seems like Old lady Qu really knows about it. Why don’t you tell us how Old lady Qu found out about these stories or what you put in the cup of tea you gave Old master Qu?”

Ji Ziming’s voice was cold as though he was the King of Hell who had just crawled out of hell. The fear in his eyes made Old lady Qu feel even more guilty. She did not dare to raise her head to meet Ji Ziming’s eyes but when she thought about how she did not put anything in that new cup of tea, she became bolder.

“MrJi, aren’t you afraid of saying something wrongly when you speak like this? What do you mean by adding something in old master’s tea leaves? Did you see it? Or did you plant some spies in our family?”

Old lady Qu was unwilling to admit it but her heart was already shaken.

“How did this Ji Ziming know all of this? I didn’t say anything wrong and didn’t reveal anything.”

“I think Old lady Qu doesn’t need me to explain. All the guests here should know that my wife, Pei Ge, has almost the exact look as Old master Qu’s ex-wife. That’s right. My wife is the Qu family’s real missy and Old master Qu’s granddaughter. If Old lady Qu did not interfere with the Qu family back then, perhaps everything would not be like this.”

Ji Ziming’s words were shocking and all the guests were lamenting about the storm that Old lady Qu had caused in Qu family. It had been so many years but it did not mean that no one remembered it and it did not happen.

“MrJi, are you saying this to help Pei Ge fight for justice for Zhang Manhua? If you say that they are from the Qu family, then they must be from the Qu family, right? In this day and age, it is extremely easy to use plastic surgery to turn her face into another face who looks similar to Old master Qu’s ex-wife.”

Old lady Qu did not want to believe it. Not only did she not want to believe it, but she also kept rejecting it. It had been so many years. Even if Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua wanted to return to Qu family, with her around, there was no reason for them to get everything from Qu family.
