Chapter 1842: Do You Already Know Something?

“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll find the script for your grandfather now. You have to stay here and accompany your grandfather. You have to take care of his health. Today is his birthday banquet, nothing must happen.”

Old lady Qu reminded her carefully as she looked at Qu Jingwan with a peaceful gaze.

“Got it, grandma. Don’t worry.”

Qu Jingwan nodded and looked at Old master Qu who was standing behind Old lady Qu. “Grandpa, the color of your gown and tie is not right. I’ll choose another one for you.”

“Sure, my tie was chosen by my auntie.”

Old master Qu put down the cup in his hand and was about to remove his tie when Qu Jingwan walked in front of him and blocked his view.

“Jingwan, you have to let your grandpa drink that new cup of tea properly. After all, it’s new and not easy to get.”

“Alright, once the tie is done, I’ll let Grandpa have a few more drinks. It’ll be good for his condition too.”

Qu Jingwan agreed.

Old lady Qu then left the room and went to the study room.

After Old lady Qu left, Qu Jingwan picked up the teacup on the table and walked to the potted plant beside her and poured the contents into the pot. Then, she walked to the table and poured the new tea into the potted plant.

“Jingwan, you…”

Old master Qu did not expect Qu Jingwan to pour out all the new tea. He could not help but suspect that Qu Jingwan knew something. However, due to his status or the lack of Old lady Qu’s power, he did not say anything.

“Grandpa, I’ll protect you tonight. Don’t eat or drink what Grandma gave you.”

“Do you already know something?”

Old master Qu was unwilling to believe it. Although he was already suspecting Old lady Qu from the bottom of his heart, everything happened too quickly. Before he could even prepare himself, the truth seemed to be right beside him.

“Grandpa, I already know what grandma wants to do to you. The reason why I did this was because I promised someone that I would protect you. Only then can I continue staying in Qu family like this.”

“Who did you promise?”

Old master Qu did not understand who was more powerful than him and even more capable than Old lady Qu to control this family. Could it be that he was no longer the number one person in the family?

“Grandpa, you’re going to see this person tonight.”

Qu Jingwan did not understand why Pei Ge would do this. What could make Pei Ge believe that the Qu family had something to do with the Ji family? Why would Pei Ge interfere?

“Okay.”

Old master Qu nodded and looked at the hot tea in the potted plant. It was still steaming. Before he could taste the new tea, it had been wasted.

“Grandpa, let’s go in. If we don’t, we won’t make it in time.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Old master Qu turned around and picked up his suit. He bumped into Old lady Qu when he walked out of the door.

“Master, you’re out. Have you drunk the new tea? How do you feel?”

Old lady Qu was only concerned about the new tea and did not care about the outcome.

“I drank it. The taste of this new tea is really good. Madam, only you know what I like.”

Old master Qu smiled and one could not tell that he was lying.

“After all, we’ve lived together for so many years. Old master, I finally understand your temperament. Isn’t it your birthday soon? I don’t know what to prepare for you. I only know that you like to drink new tea, so I…”

“Alright, madam, I know how you feel. Come on, let’s go out together and see what’s going on down there.”

Old master Qu walked forward and held Old lady Qu’s hand. “Madam, let’s go down.”

“Okay.”

Old lady Qu smiled as she looked at Old master Qu with eyes as gentle as water. Qu Jingwan, who was standing behind them, looked at the two people in front of her. She clearly knew what they were thinking, yet she could still pretend that nothing is going on.

It really felt as if they were a family.

“Madam, we’ve been together for so many years. Have we ever quarreled? Have I ever let you down?”

Old master Qu looked ahead. The two-storey staircase seemed to have become longer as he held Old lady Qu’s hand carefully.

“Old master, what are you saying? All these years, you have been treating me as well as you did in the past. If not for you, I would have starved to death outside and would have been…”

At the mention of sadness, Old lady Qu’s eyes turned moist.

“Aiya, you woman, why are you still saying all this? Today is my special day, you can’t cry. If you cry, it won’t be good if the people below see it. There are so many reporters, right?”

Old master Qu looked at Old lady Qu’s eyes and asked gently. The woman in front of him seemed to be as beautiful as before.

It was just that everything had become a regret of not being able to see clearly.

“Old master, you’re right. I shouldn’t be talking about these things on this joyous day. Alright, alright, I won’t talk about it anymore. Let’s go.”

Old lady Qu wiped her tears gently and looked at Old master Qu before continuing, “Old master, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Old master Qu stood on the spot and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Auntie who ran over.

“Madam, you’re finally here. The guests are here. I can’t stop them from talking to you.”

Auntie was a little helpless. Unfortunately, there was no one in the house who could be in charge. She wanted Old lady Qu to instruct her to look for Old master Qu if anything happened at home and did not dare to alarm him.

“Alright, I’ll go now.”

Old lady Qu smiled faintly. “Jingwan, accompany grandpa. I’ll go take a look now.”

After saying that, Old lady Qu hurried down the stairs, leaving Qu Jingwan and Old master Qu looking at the people below.

The lights in the square were different, and the chandelier was as bright as daylight. The furniture in the living room had already been placed in different positions, leaving a large number of empty seats to accommodate so many guests. There were as many beauties as there were clouds in the sky, and there were also many leaders in suits.

Old master Qu watched quietly as Old lady Qu shuttled back and forth among the guests like a purple butterfly.

“Grandpa, let’s go down too. Otherwise…”

Qu Jingwan walked forward.
