Chapter 1847: You Really Know How To Joke
He walked up to the woman he loved. He thought about how she might be hurt when he was not around. He walked up directly to her and protected her.
Qu Jingwan downed the red wine in her glass in one gulp. The alcohol was strong and dry.
The strong alcohol in his throat was slowly dissipating.
“Old master Qu, isn’t it not good for you to ask my wife this way? Everyone in the capital knows how much I love my wife. If you ask my wife these questions, I think I will be unhappy.”
The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled up as he looked into Old master Qu’s eyes. “If you have any questions, just ask me. I will definitely know what my wife knows.”
“No, no. I didn’t deliberately get close to your wife.”
Old master Qu’s eyes were smiling as he looked at Pei Ge to confirm his thoughts.
Perhaps, the past was very important, but to Pei Ge, everything was not that important now. As long as she and Ji Ziming could live happily together with the three children, their family would be happy.
Maybe she could put anything down.
“Mr Ji, you really know how to joke. I’m already so old, why would I disturb your wife? Although your wife is exceptionally beautiful, there are plenty of women who are even more outstanding than her at this banquet.”
Old master Qu explained to Ji Ziming word by word.
Seeing how much Ji Ziming doted on his granddaughter, everything seemed to have a new explanation.
“Old master Qu, you are right. Even if my woman is not the prettiest, so what? In my heart, Ge Ge is the most beautiful woman in this world. No one can compare to her.”
“Yes, you are right.”
Old master Qu smiled in agreement.
Old lady Qu walked out with a cup of tea and saw Qu Jingwan drinking by herself at the crystal bar counter. The guests around her passed by but Qu Jingwan did not reply to anyone.
“What are you doing here? Have you forgotten the mission your grandfather gave you?”
Old lady Qu’s eyes revealed her displeasure as she looked at Qu Jingwan with hidden anger.
“Grandma, what do I have to say? These people are already rushing to curry favor with Ji Ziming and Pei Ge when they see them. The rest are just small companies that are not important to our family.”
Qu Jingwan snorted. Who did not know the Qu family’s current status? Everyone said that the Qu family was about to be bought over by the Ji family, so who would not want to take advantage of Ji Ziming?
As for the Qu family, they were merely trying to protect themselves despite being in danger.
“Who said that our Qu family can’t do it? You’re just boosting other people’s morale and destroying your own prestige. Don’t you feel disappointed by this? Will this really be useful to our Qu family?”
Old lady Qu was really angry. She had never seen Qu Jingwan being so downtrodden and unwilling to find a good company for Qu family.
“Grandma, I really can’t do it. If you really think of me that way, there’s nothing I can do.”
Qu Jingwan’s eyes dimmed. When she saw Ji Ziming hugging Pei Ge’s slender waist and smiling sweetly, she wondered when she had been treated like this before.
“Go and call old master over. Tell him that I made him a new cup of tea and let him come over to try it.”
“Grandpa won’t drink it.”
Qu Jingwan’s eyes drooped as she blurted out the wrong words in a panic.
“Why can’t I drink it? Is there poison in my new tea?”
Old lady Qu’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Qu Jingwan’s words. Seeing how close Old master Qu was to Ji Ziming, she could not help but feel scared. Could it be that Old master Qu already knew a lot of secrets and knew what she wanted to do to him?
However, she could not tell that Old master Qu really knew.
What exactly happened? Did she not clear the powder when she poured the new tea for Old master Qu, or did Old master Qu see the particles floating in the air, or did Old master Qu hear something from Ji Ziming or Qu Xiujie?
At this thought, Old lady Qu felt that her motive was about to be exposed.
“Grandma, I didn’t say that there’s poison in your tea. Today is Old Master’s birthday party. What’s the point of pouring him a new cup of tea?”
“The doctor instructed him not to drink.”
Old lady Qu replied confidently.
“The doctor instructed Grandpa not to stay up late, but I found him reading documents in the study room last night.”
Qu Jingwan laughed out loud. The melodious sound from the music hall behind her was like the sound of nature. However, no matter how good the music was, there would be a time when the tune would change. No matter how delicious the food was, there would be a time when it would be sold out.
“I’m coming, I’m coming.”
Mao Nana ran into the banquet hall while wearing a white fur coat. She was stopped by the security guards at the entrance.
“How was your interview?”
Qu Xiujie immediately saw a long-legged white bunny-like woman running in from the door. Her high heels did not seem out of place in this scene.
“The interview is done. I passed. They even offered me a high price.”
Mao Nana was overjoyed when she thought of the price offered. The makeup on her face was not very exquisite either. Although she had already touched up her makeup in the car, it was still a little messy.
“Be careful. I think your shoes don’t fit your feet.”
Qu Xiujie looked at Mao Nana with heartache and wondered if he should call someone to deliver a pair.
“It’s alright. These heels are just too high. I wore them on the runway during the interview. That’s why I wore such high heels. I’ll be fine once I get used to them.”
Mao Nana lifted her long skirt, revealing her fair and long legs. The men standing beside her all stared at her. If not for the female companion beside her, they would have ignored Qu Xiujie and chased after Mao Nana to ask for her phone number.
“Change into another pair. This pair is too high. It’s not convenient for you to walk.”
No matter what, Qu Xiujie wanted Mao Nana to change a pair. Actually, it was because Mao Nana was so tall that she was taller than Qu Xiujie by half a head. Among all the female partners present, she was the tallest.
