Chapter 1643: Why don’t you let me continue saying it for you?

“I think you’re mistaken. I don’t hold any thoughts about your wife; just that, every time I see her...”

“What happens when you see her? If you didn’t come to remind me today, I wouldn’t let go of those from the Qus who conspired against my wife.”

His voice was cold. He put one arm around Pei Ge, then signaled his bodyguards to come forward. Almost immediately, they separated the two men.

“I said that you’re mistaken.”

Qu Xiujie saw how cold the man was looking at him and seemed bent on embarrassing him. If he were not so worried about the woman, he would not even care about Ji Ziming.

He would not in the past, nor would he do that now.

“No matter who you are, and for whatever reason you’re trying to approach my wife, I don’t agree with what has just happened. Also, I want you to know that I’ve already sent Qu Jingwan away.”

Seeing that the man’s face was grim, Pei Ge, who was next to three security personnel, gently tugged at his sleeve with embarrassment.

“Hey, you’re mistaken about this person.”

Calm and composed, she pushed the security aside. “Mr. Qu, I’m very fine and sorry to have let you worry. I must apologize on behalf of Ziming. He’s just protecting me and isn’t out to fight with you.”

Seeing the change in her attitude, the man looked curiously at her. She softly whispered in his ear. When the man’s move improved, Qu Xiujie felt better.

Regardless of who this man thought he was, he felt that him protecting this woman was a blessing. Therefore, there was no point in continuing their discussion about his action.

“My apologies.”

There was an apology in Ji Ziming’s eyes as the couple invited the middle-aged fella into the general manager’s office.

The moment Qu Xiujie sat down, he could not wait to speak to the man. “Young Master Ji, you must believe me. This time, it’s real. Old Lady Qu has truly begun to act.”

“I know.”

The man was calm. Even if this person did not seek him today, he would eventually learn that that elderly lady was plotting against his woman. Still, as he had not gotten evidence yet against the Old Lady Qu, he could not fight with her head on.

“With your connections, you’ve probably known about this for a while now, haven’t you?”

Qu Xiujie suddenly felt that it was useless to come.

“That’s right; I’ve known about it for quite some time.”

The man admitted, but he was not as desperate as Qu Xiujie to make his move.

“Since that’s the case, I shouldn’t stay here any further. I said everything I wanted to say when we were in the car; the rest has nothing to do with you.”

Qu Xiujie stood up. He was prepared to leave after saying that but was stopped by the other.

“Aren’t you going to tell me about your second purpose?”

The man leaned against the sofa; the nonchalance in his eyes puzzled the other. Since when was there a second purpose written on his face?

“You—”

“You’ve looked for me because of it. If you had simply wanted to tell me about Old Lady Qu’s plot against Pei Ge, you could’ve just called, yet you insisted on meeting us. That means that there’s something else more important to you than our safety, and that is your safety.”

Upon having his mind read by the man, Qu Xiujie’s tense expression relaxed. He looked at the other. “Young Master Ji, you’re...”

He paused, at a loss on what to say. It seemed that all the words had lost their meaning in front of the sharp-eyed man.

“What’s wrong? Did I hit the nail, so now you’re unable to say it? Why don’t you let me continue on your behalf?”

Ji Ziming’s voice was deep as he looked at the other man coldly. “You need a safe place to hide because you’re aware of Old Lady Qu’s plan to deal with you. Since she knows that you’re suspecting her and even investigating her, she won’t let you off and might even want you dead.”

Hitting the nail on the head again, the man looked pleased with himself.

Qu Xiujie stood on the same spot and sensed his body tensing. All his thoughts had been spoken out by the man.

“Am I right?”

The man’s smile deepened, the aura around him deterring. Even Pei Ge, who was sitting next to him, could sense that he was different from his usual self.

“I’m impressed by your IQ. That’s right, you’ve guessed it. I indeed came looking for you because of that.”

“Since you’re already here, why are you in a rush to leave before talking about it?”

Ji Ziming was perplexed; there was perhaps only one reason why Qu Xiujie wanted to leave right now.

“You’re right but not entirely.”

He smiled at him. He looked like someone who had revived in a game, and even his voice was louder when he spoke. “In my heart, Pei Ge’s safety is the most important.”

Qu Xiujie spoke in a serious manner, but Ji Ziming did not seem to believe him. He looked askance. “What’s wrong? Does Mr. Qu think that my wife’s safety is more important than yours right from the start?”

“Young Master Ji, there’s really no reason for you to be jealous as I have no romantic feelings for her.”

He explained to the man again. It was only because he had failed to control himself when he saw the woman. If his investigation was continued, who knew if he might find out where his mother had disappeared after leaving the Qu family and how she had been faring all these years.

“It’s normal for me to look like the person in your memory; there’re so many weird things in this world after all, but if you think that I’m the one in your memory, you should wake up. There are many people who look the same on the streets, and this isn’t weird at all.

Pei Ge subtly called out Qu Xiujie’s attitude when he spoke. Other than looking like Zhang Manhua, she resembled her maternal grandmother even more. However, since Ji Ziming had never seen her grandmother, he would not know about her.

“Not only do you guys look the same; even your charisma is the same.”
