Chapter 2007: Are You Crazy?

“Ha, Mom, you really know how to joke.”

Pei Ge was amused by Mother Ji’s words. She took out a bright yellow gift box from behind her. Inside was Mother Ji’s favorite Chanel perfume. It was a limited-edition version of her identity and had an extraordinary honor.

Mother Ji turned around and saw that Pei Ge’s eyes were filled with kindness and gentleness. She then replied, “Alright, alright. It’s not easy for us to come back together, so let’s not waste our time arguing. Old thing, I’m telling you that I’ll deal with you in the future. Now, go get the three children to have dinner.”

Mother Ji took the blanket over her and walked past Qu Xiujie to the dining hall along the corridor, leaving the three adults in the living room looking at each other.

“Uncle, didn’t you promise me that you won’t have any conflicts with Mom in the future?”

Pei Ge’s voice was low but it made Ji Ziming’s heart ache a little. “Ge Ge, uncle knows. Moreover, don’t you think that their way of interacting is not bad?”

Ji Ziming looked at Pei Ge beside him with his deep eyes but his voice sounded like he was defending Qu Xiujie.

“Uncle, no matter how you quarrel with my mom, she will always be bored at home, so I still have to thank you.” Ji Ziming’s lips curled up as he looked at Qu Xiujie calmly.

“Ziming, are you crazy?”

Qu Xiujie could not believe that Ji Ziming was the one who supported him. He could not understand why.

Ji Ziming looked at Qu Xiujie coldly but because he was an elder, he did not show much emotion. However, the sincerity in his eyes stunned Qu Xiujie for a moment.

“Ziming, is what you said true? You said that I’m a freeloader in your family and bullied your mother all day long. I’m an old man from a lonely family; you don’t have to treat me like this.”

Qu Xiujie finally understood the meaning of Ji Ziming’s existence.

“Uncle, what are you talking about? We’re a family. Besides, we know what happened between you and my mother during your trip to R City. Don’t mind what I just said. Also, what my mother said to you was intentional. Uncle, don’t take it to heart.”

Ji Ziming said it seriously but Qu Xiujie felt something different in his ears.

“I know. I won’t be calculative with her in the future since she’s a woman. I don’t hold it against women.”

Qu Xiujie boasted shamelessly and placed his bag on the sofa after speaking. He then turned around and walked into the dining room.

No matter what the ending was, Qu Xiujie and Mother Ji’s fight had come to an end. As long as they did not quarrel at home, the house would be peaceful.

The day Zhang Manhua returned home was getting closer and closer and Pei Ge’s company’s crisis management was slowly recovering to its original state. Other than Ji Miao’s younger sister’s condition being repeated, other than Tang Xiaoyu not receiving the final news and Qin Qitong and Bi Zheng’s wedding not being finalized, everything was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Two days later, because Ji Ziming had a big deal to attend to, he could only arrange for someone to follow Pei Ge to the airport to fetch Zhang Manhua. He even sent his favorite car and best bodyguard to follow Pei Ge to the airport to fetch Zhang Manhua home.

When Zhang Manhua walked out of the airport, she spotted Pei Ge from afar. She was wearing a Gucci short yellow coat, black boots, and a brown short skirt. She was tall and elegant. Right now, the airport entrance was like a beautiful scenery. Before Zhang Manhua saw Pei Ge, many men had already turned to look at her with mixed emotions.

Pei Ge’s legs were long and slender, and her fair skin looked as though it was about to break from the wind. Her whole body was glowing with a translucent white luster and the slight smile on her face carried traces of happiness. It was hard to look away.

This was completely different from when she was overseas.

Right now, she felt a tinge of happiness, a happiness that could be felt from her entire body.

“Ge Ge, I’m here!”

Zhang Manhua walked up with her luggage and saw her daughter, Pei Ge, walking by the airport. The Rolls-Royce behind her was very eye-catching. Compared to her beauty, this car was in no way inferior.

“Mom!”

Pei Ge’s eyes curled up when she saw Zhang Manhua slowly walking toward her like a wealthy lady. Her eyes sparkled as she hurried over to Zhang Manhua. Only then did she realize that there was a foreigner with white skin and blue eyes behind her.

“Mom, this is…”

Pei Ge did not understand. Logically speaking, he should not be the one who followed Zhang Manhua back, but the person she saw was not the same person she saw last time.

Zhang Manhua could tell that Pei Ge was suspicious and smiled. “I know what you want to ask. This is Butler Charlie. He came back with me to ensure my safety. You don’t have to worry. It doesn’t matter even if I’m alone.”

“How can I leave you alone? I’m worried. It’s a special time now and we have to be careful. If we’re in the open and the person in the dark attacks us, what should we do?”

Pei Ge voiced out the worry in her heart. No matter what, she would not let Zhang Manhua leave the country alone. If Qu Xiujie’s uncle found out about this, who knew what would happen in the end?

“You’re still worried that mom will come. I’m an adult and not a child. Don’t worry. Besides, I didn’t come back alone. Are you relieved now?”

A smile was hidden in Zhang Manhua’s eyes as she looked at Pei Ge sincerely.

A true family member was probably like this. Even if they had not met for a long time, their blood relationship would still exist. No matter how much time had passed, it would not lose its color or lose its initial warmth.

Pei Ge walked in front and spoke to her mother while opening the car door for her to get in. Just as Pei Ge was about to get in, Charlie, the bodyguard beside Zhang Manhua, frowned and pulled her arm as he said in an irresistible voice, “Miss Pei, Madam needs to be with me to ensure her safety.”

Pei Ge froze and stared at Charlie.
