Chapter 1808: Must You Go Back?
Perhaps there was always happiness, but it was negligible.
Zhang Manhua did not know how to comfort Qu Xiujie at that moment. However, the more she looked into his eyes, the more her heart ached. She thought that her mother left Qu Xiujie behind for his own good, but she did not know that she had ruined his life, including his future and all the good things.
“So what? So what if I forgive him in my heart? I’m still unwilling to save him and step into Qu family’s territory. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I only care about you and Ge Ge. You guys are my family and this house is my home.”
“Alright. Since you say that you care about Ge Ge, let me ask you this. Have you ever thought about Ge Ge and me? We are all part of the Qu family but we can’t become a part of the Qu family. Our only identity in the capital is the CEO’s wife and the CEO’s mother-in-law. Have you ever thought about how we are part of the Qu family and why are we allowing that woman to stay in the Qu family and get all the Qu family’s wealth for nothing? If it were you, would you be willing? Don’t you hate it when you see your family’s wealth being stolen?”
“Sis, stop it.”
Qu Xiujie looked down at his feet and asked softly, “Sister, must you guys go back?”
“It’s not about whether we’re going back or not, but can you bear to see your things being taken away?”
The more Zhang Manhua spoke, the more agitated she became. From the Qu family’s assets to the truth of her mother’s departure back then, all of them were telling Qu Xiujie that there was a reason for her actions. No one could gain power forever and no one could be together forever.
“Uncle, if you’re really unwilling, we won’t force you. Although I don’t want to save that person, I want to save everyone that Old lady Qu is targeting. It’s not because of anything else but because she once hired someone to be so ruthless to my father, so I have to do this. I have to let her know how powerful I am.”
Pei Ge stood up and took the kettle from the coffee table. She poured herself a big cup and downed it in one gulp. Her heroic spirit of drinking was to let herself know that she was willing to do whatever she could.
As long as she could pull Old lady Qu down, Pei Ge was willing to try anything, even if the chances of success were slim.
But nothing was guaranteed to fail.
“Ge Ge, do you all want to save that old man?”
Qu Xiujie raised his head and looked at Zhang Manhua and Pei Ge before him. His voice was cold and obedient.
“Uncle, even if that person has nothing to do with us, we should still save him. You can’t possibly think that you will continue to hate him like this. Even if you will, I don’t think it will be too much because I know that in your heart, such a person isn’t worth it.”
There was a smile in Pei Ge’s eyes as she looked at Qu Xiujie.
“So, you guys want me to tell him, but he doesn’t even want to see me, so how can I go to the Qu family mansion and tell him that the old woman at home wants to harm him?”
Qu Xiujie did not understand what reason was needed to make Old master Qu listen to him and even let him know that woman’s true intentions.
“Don’t worry about that, uncle. I’ll help you find it, but you have to tell him yourself and convince him to believe us. That way, we’ll not lose too much.”
Pei Ge’s eyes were bright and she looked especially cute.
“Okay.”
Qu Xiujie nodded and suddenly remembered something important. “Didn’t you guys suspect Mao Nana at the start? Why aren’t you suspecting her now?”
Qu Xiujie could not understand. When Pei Ge came to the house and met Mao Nana for the first time, Qu Xiujie knew that there must be some secret between Mao Nana and Pei Ge.
Initially, Qu Xiujie was unwilling to believe it. However, when he saw that Mao Nana and Pei Ge had returned this afternoon, her injured leg was clearly pretending to be injured.
Initially, Qu Xiujie did not understand why Mao Nana pretended to be injured. It was only when he saw Pei Ge that he realized that the person who said that Mao Nana had a suspect was in the same boat as her.
“Actually, Nana is mine.”
She blinked and smiled.
“Yours?”
Zhang Manhua asked in surprise. She did not even know that the sister-in-law and daughter whom she had been taking good care of was actually her man. It was really unbelievable.
“Are you saying that Nana came to the capital because of you?”
Qu Xiujie’s eyes flashed with surprise and when he saw Pei Ge’s smile, he understood everything.
“Ge Ge, by doing this, you’ve kept us in the dark. Since you’re unwilling to tell me, then how much more secrets are you hiding from us?”
“No, no. Uncle, you have to believe me. I hid the fact that Nana is actually mine. I originally planned to let her continue living in the house, but you kept chasing her out, so I could only tell her to pretend to be injured.”
“That’s why you kept your mother and I in the dark for so long. Little lass, why are you so ruthless?”
Qu Xiujie’s voice was low and his eyes were full of smiles.
“Alright, alright. It’s good that everyone has cleared up their misunderstandings. As long as you guys are fine and our family is together, there’s nothing to worry about. As long as you guys are well, I don’t have to worry about anything. As for the others, just let them be. We’ve already worked hard. If they don’t want to listen, then there’s nothing we can do.”
Everyone in the living room understood what Zhang Manhua meant.
“Xiujie, listen to me and convince Old master Qu. As for the other matters, you still have us.”
Zhang Manhua’s voice was gentle and Qu Xiujie, who was sitting on the sofa, was very indignant. “Must we save him? I don’t want to save him. Although I know that this will affect our plan, I am still unwilling to save him.”
Qu Xiujie’s eyes turned colder as though all the temperature had frozen.
