Chapter 1829: That Was Her Everything
Pei Ge did not want to believe that in Old lady Qu’s heart, those fake things were worth more than a life.
Pei Ge would never forget the scene of her father dying in an accident. She even lost her memory for a period of time. Although she recovered in the end, she would probably never forget that scene even when she was old.
It was too bloody and terrifying.
A perfectly fine family of three had become what others called “a pity”.
Pei Ge’s lips curled up slightly, and the coldness in her eyes was as cold as ice. Zhang Manhua’s heart turned cold as she sat on the sofa, unable to move.
“Ge Ge, I know that you will always remember the past, but you have to know that I don’t want you to live for the past. You should have your own life; the three children are still adorable.”
“I know, Mother. I just want those who have hurt us to get what their retribution. This won’t destroy my conscience. Don’t worry.”
Pei Ge tried to gently pull her hand away, but she realized that it was tightly clenched in Zhang Manhua’s palm.
“Ge Ge, listen to me. No matter what happened in the past, you’re still my woman. You’re my only daughter. If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to continue living? How am I supposed to face your father in the end?”
Tears welled up in Zhang Manhua’s eyes as she lowered her head. The sorrow in her heart was like a bell that rang for a long time.
“Mom, I’ll go back to the Ji family first. Don’t worry; nothing will happen to me.”
Pei Ge knew that Zhang Manhua was worried. Although she had yet to confront Old lady Qu, based on Pei Ge’s personality, there would definitely be a fight between the two. Pei Ge had yet to experience it, but it seemed like Zhang Manhua was deliberately avoiding something.
“Okay, you have to be fine. That way, I can rest assured. If anything happens to you, like what happened at the aquarium previously, I won’t care about anything anymore. No matter what you’re doing, I will pull you back.”
Zhang Manhua’s words were firm. Compared to uncovering the truth, she was more concerned about her daughter’s safety. Once her daughter was attacked, she would not be able to take it.
It was not easy for her to walk out of the dark days of Pei Ge’s father’s life. It was hard for a woman to lead a daughter through difficult times, and it was even harder for her to imagine how severe the issue was such that it required two people to fight openly and covertly.
“I know, Mom. Don’t worry. Uncle is with me now. You don’t have to worry about anything. You just have to stay in the small building. Take care of your own safety. You have to take care of Nana’s safety as well. Uncle brought Nana out to play for a few days. I’m afraid there are already people spying on her in the capital.”
Pei Ge’s worries were not unfounded. This time, they were really going to war.
“I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Nana too. I won’t let her go out alone.”
Zhang Manhua nodded. She had to watch out for Mao Nana’s safety.
“That’s good. As long as we don’t let that woman destroy us one by one. Hence, none of us can fall into her hands.”
Pei Ge’s words were firm, as though doing so would reduce the damage.
“Sure, I got it.”
Zhang Manhua nodded and let go of Pei Ge’s hand. “Be careful on the way back.”
Pei Ge looked at Zhang Manhua. This woman had inadvertently aged a few years. Compared to the last time they met, she seemed more sentimental.
She was slightly moved. “Mom, when is Uncle coming over?”
“He’s still busy with something and might come over during Old master Qu’s birthday banquet.”
At the mention of that person, Zhang Manhua’s eyes softened a little. This man had once given her the best love and brought her to the lowest point in her life to believe in life and the future.
“Alright, when Uncle comes, I’ll treat him to a round of fun in the capital.”
Pei Ge smiled with her lips sealed.
“Sure. I’m sure your uncle would love that.”
Zhang Manhua’s eyes were clear and her smile was charming. Her exquisite face shone with happiness.
“Then I’ll go back to my room and pack.”
Zhang Manhua let go of Pei Ge’s hand and Pei Ge went upstairs to pack her things.
“Okay, go ahead.”
Zhang Manhua nodded her head. She saw Pei Ge turn around, walk up to the second floor of the house to pick up her things and her figure gave Zhang Manhua an illusion.
“Ge Ge.”
Just as she was about to reach the door, Pei Ge turned around and asked, “What’s wrong, Mom?”
“You really resemble your grandmother.”
Zhang Manhua said. Her daughter’s back view was surprisingly familiar.
“Then grandma must be a beauty. I have to inherit all her beautiful things so that I can surpass her.”
Pei Ge pursed her lips. She did not care about what her grandmother said. If not for her grandmother, if not for Zhang Manhua, she would not exist in this world.
“Be careful.”
Her mother smiled gently as she sat on the sofa. She was as beautiful as a painting.
It was a kind of exquisite beauty that could make one’s heart tremble.
“Okay.”
She nodded and turned to leave the house.
Qu Xiujie had already parked his car at the entrance. When he saw Pei Ge walk out, he opened the passenger seat to let her get in first.
“Thank you, uncle.”
Pei Ge sat in the car and smiled sweetly at Qu Xiujie. The short car ride seemed to shorten even further.
“Ge Ge, aren’t you afraid that Qu Jingwan will go back on her words if you help her like this?”
Qu Xiujie did not understand why Pei Ge would make a deal with Qu Jingwan. She was clearly a nobody in the Qu family.
“She won’t.”
She looked at the road ahead and answered firmly.
“Are you so sure?”
Qu Xiujie did not understand why Pei Ge was always so confident in what she did. She suddenly had Ji Ziming’s shadow on her.
“Because she has her weakness in my hands. If she really dares to go back on her words, I can just throw her weakness out. Anyway, I won’t lose anything. But it’s different for her. That’s all she has, so I believe she won’t.”
