Chapter 1837: His Mother Was A Wonderful Woman

Just like how Qu Xiujie could not understand which was more important to Old master Qu, his mother or Old lady Qu.

“You!”

Old master Qu was flustered and speechless as he looked at Qu Xiujie. He could only hold his chest and cough violently.

“Old man, stop pretending. Do you think you’re going to die? No, the medicine that old woman gave you isn’t enough to kill you. But if you want to drink the red wine she gave you at your birthday banquet, or drink some tea or something, that’s hard to say.”

Qu Xiujie raised his head to look elsewhere but there was a glint in his eyes as he looked at Old master Qu.

“Old master Qu, I think Mr. Qu has already made it very clear. Do you understand now?”

Ji Ziming glanced at Qu Xiujie. He should have known that it would be better to look for him than to negotiate with Qu Xiujie.

“I understand. Why don’t I understand? Didn’t you say that my wife drugged me?”

Old master Qu forced himself to stop coughing. He looked at Qu Xiujie and continued, “But why did you tell me that you and I are not relatives? Moreover, we are only in a business relationship. The biggest possibility is that my Qu family’s Qu Jingwan almost became your CEO’s wife.”

Old master Qu paused for a while before continuing while clutching his chest. “However, according to what I know, don’t you already have another woman? Qu Jingwan has already returned to my family and has nothing to do with you. On the other hand, this unfilial son of mine, Qu Xiujie, ran to your Ji family. Do you still want me to be in-laws with you?”

Old master Qu did not believe him and wanted to kick Qu Xiujie to the side. This unfilial son always thought of ways to betray him and was unwilling to tell him the latest situation.

“It’s not impossible if you want to become in-laws with my family, but as for why I came to talk to you about this, it’s also my duty.”

Ji Ziming picked up a chair from the side and curled his lips. His cold smile wrapped around Old master Qu, who was lying on the bed, and the air became exceptionally cold.

It was as if they could slowly tear a hole in the air. It was also as if the three of them could break the silence if they made a bigger commotion.

“What kind of obligation? Don’t tell me my family business is still your obligation?”

Old master Qu did not believe that Ji Ziming was really willing to help him. He also did not believe that the main character who enjoyed big headlines in the capital would be willing to help a company that was about to go bankrupt. What was his motive then? Acquisition?

“It’s not my duty to settle the feuds between the rich and powerful. It’s only your family.”

The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled up slightly as he looked at Old master Qu with a clear gaze.

“Oh? My family is? Then I would like to know what relationship the Ji family have with my family.”

Old master Qu sat up slowly. His voice sounded old and he was coughing. The wrinkles at the corner of his eyes revealed his age.

“Mr Ji, don’t beat around the bush with me. I really want to know, in your world, what did my family offend you for you to be unable to tolerate my family like this? I’m old and my son is a disappointment. I can’t count on him either. If you want my family’s company, just say the word and I might not disappoint you.”

Old master Qu really could not see what Ji Ziming saw in the Qu family that he wanted to deal with the Qu family like this. Could it be that in Ji Ziming’s heart, only power and money were important?

Ji Ziming sat on the chair while Old master Qu sat on the hospital bed. The red light in the emergency room was on and it was like a flash in the dark that disrupted one’s heart.

Old lady Qu, who was standing at the door, was very quiet. Initially, her anxiousness was only displayed in front of the board of directors, but now that these eyesores were gone, she was happy to be quiet. She sat on the chair outside the emergency room and made a call out of boredom.

“Mr Ji, why don’t you tell me what exactly has caught your eye?”

Old master Qu thought that he did not have long to live and only wanted to know why Ji Ziming was torturing his Qu family.

“Old master Qu really wants to know?”

Ji Ziming’s eyes were cold and his lips curled into a smile that no one could feel.

“I want to know, so I hope that CEO Ji can tell me and let me, this old man, know if my Qu family has real money or some priceless treasure.”

Old master Qu looked at Ji Ziming and the sadness in his eyes made Qu Xiujie extremely jealous.

This old man was like this. He never knew what he did wrong and only knew that he was the only master in the family. He did not know that Qu Xiujie was not the only one who had other thoughts about him.

“She is indeed a treasure, a priceless treasure. In this world, there is only one, and I, Ji Ziming, only want one. Old master Qu, do you still remember Mr. Qu’s mother?”

Ji Ziming thought of Pei Ge’s little face and the pain and sadness he had experienced when she was not by his side. He felt so much pain in his heart. The thought of her suffering in a place he did not know about made his heart bleed.

“You mean him?”

Old master Qu raised his head and looked at Qu Xiujie. He did not find anything about this unfilial son that Ji Ziming was willing to take in and was even willing to persuade him.

Old master Qu did not notice Ji Ziming’s last sentence regarding Qu Xiujie’s mother.

It had been so many years and there had been no news of it, yet Ji Ziming’s words made it seem as though he was going to get over it.

Very few people remembered the truth of what happened back then. It was just like “I liked someone else and you couldn’t stand this fact, so you chose to leave yourself”.

“Old master Qu, do you still remember Mr. Qu’s mother? What was she like when she left your family?”

Ji Ziming looked at Old master Qu and asked. Old master Qu’s eyes turned strange as he looked at Ji Ziming and Qu Xiujie.

“His mother was a wonderful woman.”

Old master Qu could only comment like this. Not many people were willing to recall what happened back then. He was unwilling and Old lady Qu was also unwilling. The two of them tacitly stopped mentioning this matter and only remembered what kind of life they wanted to live.
