Chapter 1990: How Are You Sure?

“How can I be satisfied?”

Qu Xiujie looked around angrily and said, “Why don’t you tell me why should I be satisfied? Is this villa your Ji family’s nanny room? Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be. The nanny room of your family is the most luxurious in the whole capital. How can it be like a cave dwelling?”

Qu Xiujie grumbled. Before he could tease Ji Ziming, he was already taken down by him.

“If Mr. Qu isn’t satisfied, it’s still not too late to leave now.”

The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled up. Earlier in the hospital, this old man wanted to take advantage of Pei Ge. Even if he agreed, he would not let Qu Xiujie off easily.

Therefore, the opportunity had come.

Qu Xiujie complained at first but after seeing Ji Ziming and Pei Ge’s apathetic faces, he decided not to say anything and just sat on the bed to look at them.

“Mr. Qu, are you done?”

Ji Ziming waited for a while but could not hear Qu Xiujie.

The curve of his lips was dark and the sparkle in his eyes made Qu Xiujie break out in cold sweat.

“I’m done, what else can I do even if I’m not?”

Qu Xiujie seemed to accept his fate as he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. “Mr Ji, you will regret treating me like this.”

“Oh? I, Ji Ziming, have not regretted doing anything.”

Ji Ziming’s eyes were vicious but his smile was full of danger.

“Heh, that’s because you haven’t met him yet.”

Qu Xiujie sighed in his heart. He was a young master who had nothing to do in Qu family, yet he became a lowly soldier sent to Ji Ziming.

He could only blame himself for being bullied in Luoyang.

“Even if I encounter it, there might be a solution.”

Ji Ziming only wanted to know if Qu Xiujie really had a path of retreat for himself. He wanted to make sure he knew everything. However, it seemed like Qu Xiujie had gotten hold of a more important piece of information that Ji Ziming did not have.

Ji Ziming had never fought an unprepared battle. He could only give it a try this time.

“Since the two of you are already here, sit down and listen to my story.”

Qu Xiujie sat on the bed and straightened his posture as though he was an elder lecturing his juniors.

“Story?”

Ji Ziming had a bad feeling. Could this story be about Pei Ge’s past?

“Yes, I believe Madam will be interested.”

Qu Xiujie put away his usual roguish air and looked at Pei Ge who was sitting on the sofa.

“If I’m really interested, I might as well ask Mr. Qu to speak first. I’m waiting to hear it.”

Pei Ge did not mind what Qu Xiujie wanted to say. She was just curious about how this Qu Xiujie seemed to have many ideas and was not as good as he looked.

“Sure. Mr Ji, do you want to sit down and listen to me first?”

Qu Xiujie looked at Ji Ziming, who was standing beside Pei Ge. He was certain that after he finished his story, the person who would be shocked would be Ji Ziming and not Pei Ge.

“Alright, I’ll listen to your story then.”

Ji Ziming smiled beautifully. In fact, he did not mind what Qu Xiujie wanted to say but he could vaguely feel that Qu Xiujie was preparing for something big and something he did not know.

Qu Xiujie told her about how he was left behind when his mother had left Qu family with his sister when her family fell apart due to a mistress.

However, after his mother left, she never returned. Instead, the Qu family became the world dominated by Old master Qu and Old lady Qu. The son of his ex-wife became a useless chess piece.

He hated his mother and hated why she only took his sister away and not him. He was unhappy in Qu family and was ostracized by Old lady Qu. He was also not valued by Old master Qu so he started to turn bad. He befriended a group of bad boys and started doing things that caused trouble to Old master Qu and made Old lady Qu happy.

However, as time passed, he thought that he was really going to live his life like this. He found out that he saw a woman at the scene of a traffic accident. That woman looked very similar to his mother and even the woman’s eyebrows were exactly the same as his.

It was also at this moment that Qu Xiujie realized that his life was not just like that. Other than Old master Qu, he still had a family. However, he still needed to look for this family, yet fate seemed to have specially arranged it for him.

With just a glance, he was able to turn back from the edge of depravity.

“You mean my wife, Pei Ge?”

Ji Ziming interrupted Qu Xiujie’s memories. He had suspected it before but because there was no evidence, he did not come to a conclusion.

“How could it be me?”

Pei Ge did not believe it. She even hated the Qu family, Qu Jingwan and Old lady Qu.

“Yes, Mr Ji is really smart.”

Qu Xiujie smiled sincerely and looked at Ji Ziming with a gentle gaze as though he was an elder.

“Later on, I found out that other than Old lady Qu, there was another person who forced my mother to leave Qu family. However, I have yet to find out anything about this person. Even my father might not know of his existence.”

“If you don’t know, how can you be sure that Old lady Qu did it?”

Ji Ziming knew that for Qu Xiujie to say such words, he must have known the truth. Perhaps, this was the last move that Qu Xiujie left for him.

“If a woman wants to climb up the social ladder, other than using tricks to chase away her ex-wife, she still needs to have something to continue staying in Qu family. She might even have to live like a madam in Qu family.”

Qu Xiujie was very certain. When he was young, he heard that Old lady Qu had aborted a baby boy in order to marry Old master Qu. Because of this, Old master Qu treasured Old lady Qu even more. Even if Old lady Qu made a mistake, he might not punish her because this woman had aborted a child for him.

“Old lady Qu’s methods back then were very sinister. Did you find out everything?”

Ji Ziming’s voice was cold but he no longer joked with Qu Xiujie. Instead, he sounded serious.

“That incident happened too long ago and I didn’t manage to find out anything. I only found out where my mother went after she left Qu family. As for Old lady Qu, I only found some evidence of her being sponsored by my mother to attend school back then but I haven’t found any concrete evidence.”
