Chapter 1641: You are a really ruthless person.
Qu Xiujie’s eyes darkened. Originally, once everything was successful today, he planned to find the old woman in the Qu Group to negotiate terms. To think that not only did he not succeed, it ended up even in a more terrifying state.
“I’m talking to you; do you hear me?”
Murong Cheng shot a glance at Qu Xiujie, and the teasing smile on his lips faded. It seemed that the latter received quite a blow today.
“What should I say? Hurry up and go to the Ji Group’s office. If I don’t see Ji Ziming, I’ll not let you sleep with any women tonight.”
“Bro, don’t be so callous, alright? I’ve actually helped you before!”
He furrowed his brows and could not bear to look at the man, who was filled with a resentful aura. Even when the latter frowned, he was undaunted by him.
His resentment slowly dissipated from the moment he saw Pei Ge.
After so many years, the only person who could make him like this was her—the person who looked like the woman in his memory. However, she was Ji Ziming’s wife and was the well-known independent woman in the industry.
“So what?”
Qu Xiujie’s brows raised, and the evil aura around him slowly faded.
Were he and Murong Cheng not brothers who had met each other in this ‘war’?
If Murong Cheng did not befriend him in the past, Qu Xiujie would be surrounded by all of Old Lady Qu’s lackeys now. Rather, he would not have been able to leave the Qu family’s mansion. He would even be unable to move that woman’s place in his father’s heart. He seemed like a playboy who was unable to touch her at all.
“You’re a truly heartless person who doesn’t have mercy.”
“Tsk, tsk!” The smile in Murong Cheng’s eyes grew wider, and he had known long ago that his friend would deride him like this. They had been living in such an environment for so many years.
He looked on as Qu Xiujie created trouble right before the latter’s father’s eyes and settled his trouble for him behind his back. If Qu Xiujie were to really have a list of people whom he should thank, he had to be the first.
“Have you thought of the fact that, even if you can’t meet Pei Ge and you meet Ji Ziming, you can explain to him why you’ve looked for Pei Ge. Although you can’t meet that woman due to her standing, you can totally meet the man as Young Master Qu, even with the excuse of discussing business partnership.”
He thought of ideas for Qu Xiujie, who was silently leaning against the window as though he had fallen asleep.
“I’m talking to you; do you hear me?”
Murong Cheng reached out his right hand to poke Qu Xiujie’s arm but was swatted by the latter. The car stopped after driving for a while.
“Qu Xiujie, are you crazy?”
He had not seen him uncontrollable and hot-tempered like this. He even suspected that, the moment he mentioned Pei Ge, this guy would switch between peace and sheer anger.
“Nothing happened either; quickly drive.”
Qu Xiujie’s eyes were closed as he slumped in his seat. There was no guilt in his voice, and not even a surprised look could be found on his face.
“You!”
He threw punches angrily at him but was evaded by the latter, who then mocked him. “Do you believe that I can really make it impossible for you to sleep with a woman tonight?”
“Is there really a brother like you who sees meat and not eats it?”
Murong Cheng retracted his hand and shot a glance at his friend before continuing to drive. Despite this, he did not stop attacking the other with his words. “I say, must you really go find Ji Ziming? You just won’t listen when I ask you to plan long term.”
The other ignored his nagging as he looked at the scenery outside. Even though the scenery was beautiful, he was not in a mood to appreciate it. In his mind, Pei Ge’s face overlapped with the one in his memory.
The car soon arrived at Ji Group, and Ji Ziming happened to be leaving the office at this point.
Qu Xiujie rushed to him and pulled the latter’s hand, forcing him to listen no matter what.
“What is it?”
He Yun stood in front of his boss and blocked his path. Even if it were Qu Xiujie, this subordinate would not let him near his superior, for protecting the man was his job.
The man appeared cold, but when he saw that Qu Xiujie really had something to tell him, he stopped He Yun and spoke coldly. “Mr. Qu, are you looking for me again regarding my wife’s matter?”
He smiled, but one could not feel any bit of warmth from it. Qu Xiujie felt his surroundings turn cold; Ji Ziming’s eyes, in particular, made his hair stand on end.
“I’m indeed here today regarding your wife’s matter, but it isn’t like before. I came to find you because I have something important to tell you.”
He stepped forward and pushed He Yun aside.
The man was unafraid despite seeing the other closing in on him. Instead, his lips curled and looked threateningly at the latter. The other could not help but move two steps back, and just as he did, Ji Ziming’s men surrounded him. He then spoke, “It’s not suitable to speak here. Find a quiet spot, and I’ll tell you why I’m looking for you.”
“Is it related to my wife?”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened again and his smile disappeared. The cold aura he emitted shocked Qu Xiujie, who paused before continuing, “Right. It’s related to her.”
“Sure then.”
The man signaled for the bodyguard, who was standing beside the black Rolls Royce, to open the door and he entered the car first.
“Don’t you have something to say? Come in and say it.”
He looked at Qu Xiujie who was standing beside the car and said in a cold voice as though a piece of hardened ice were in his eyes.
“Okay.”
The other nodded and got in the car, too. The extravagant interior of this vehicle made him sigh. His car could not even be compared to the real leather sofa in the man’s car, let alone the interior decor.
They were worlds apart.
“Young Master Ji, your car looks not bad.”
