BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1757 - I Have Never Lied to You
Chapter 1757: I Have Never Lied to You
As for what would happen to Old master Qu in the end, it was no longer her concern. All she wanted now was to find the culprit who framed her father. That was enough.
As for whether she wanted to return to the Qu family or not, it was no longer her concern. She did not care about the Qu family’s status or the money they had.
She only cared if the people she cared about were hurt because of her. Then, she would definitely not forgive those who hurt her. As long as she was around, she would get them to pay back for all her grievances.
“Ge Ge, do you know what my ‘death’ means?”
Ji Ziming walked in and placed the coffee on the desk. He looked at Pei Ge with his deep eyes and continued, “The death I’m talking about is Old master Qu.”
“What does that have to do with me? It’s not like I’m going to kill him. I’m not interested even if you tell me now.”
Pei Ge tilted her head and did not want to bother with these things, but before she could explain, Ji Ziming had already told her a huge secret, as though it was the first time she had heard it.
“Ge Ge, it’s like this.”
“Ziming, are you telling the truth? Why haven’t I heard of such news before? If it really happens, won’t it be very scary? Won’t Old master Qu...”
She did not dare to continue speaking and only looked at him in shock. “Ziming, is what you said true?”
“Have I ever lied to you?”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled up as he looked at Pei Ge with gentle yet loving eyes.
“Ge Ge, do you believe me? I’ve never lied to you.”
Ji Ziming’s voice was gentle as he looked at Pei Ge lovingly.
“Ge Ge, do you believe me?”
Pei Ge looked at Ji Ziming but did not dare to say whether she believed him or not. She only looked at him silently and nodded. “Ziming, I believe you. I just find it hard to believe. I always thought that she only wanted power and money, so why would she have such thoughts...”
Pei Ge did not understand why this woman, who already had so many things, was still so greedy and even wanted Old master Qu’s everything.
“That’s why she’s scary. This woman isn’t as innocent as she looks. Have you realized that things that seem simpler to us, are more meaningful to her? It’s precisely because she’s like this that she’s even scarier. What she cares about is her weakness. As long as we have it, we’ll naturally know what she wants.”
Ji Ziming said quietly as he thought of a new plan.
“That’s why we need to catch her off guard with the things she cares about. When the time comes, I’ll arrange for everyone to wait for her to be caught. Don’t worry; I’m here.”
Pei Ge raised her head. Although it was unbelievable, she knew that as long as Ji Ziming was around, everything would be the best.
“Ziming, I don’t think I can handle so many things at once. Let me take it slow. I want to figure it out myself.”
She weakly sat in the chair and looked at him.
“Okay. Wait for me here. I’ll come find you after I settle some matters. Promise me that you won’t leave this place. Just wait for me here.”
Ji Ziming looked at Pei Ge with his deep-set eyes and said in a clear voice, “Ge Ge, do you know?”
“Mhm.”
She nodded and leaned back on the sofa with her eyes lowered. She would listen to anything he said seriously.
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming looked at Pei Ge with a doting yet helpless heart.
Such a huge blow was unacceptable to Pei Ge, who was still upset with the Qu family.
Only after Ji Ziming left the CEO’s office did Pei Ge’s tense emotions finally relax. How was she supposed to digest such a huge emotion and tell the person who was in the dark about it?
Back then, he had treated his grandmother like this, but now that she knew that the person closest to him had planned for something bad to happen to him, Pei Ge’s heart ached. She did not hate him that much after all. Her blood still belonged to him, and part of her life was brought to this world by him.
Pondering for a moment, she took out her Gucci handbag and her phone.
A familiar call came in. At this moment, Zhang Manhua was discussing tea scriptures with Mao Nana. Qu Xiujie, who was sitting beside them, was very calm but his eyes were filled with love. He looked at Mao Nana with gentleness as though he had not seen her for a long time.
“Nana, do you think Biluochun is better or Longjing?”
Zhang Manhua’s eyes were filled with smiles, and her gentle and benevolent look resembled that of a big sister. Her eyes were filled with joy when she looked at her.
“Sister Manhua, I think this green tea is not bad...”
Before Mao Nana could finish speaking, Zhang Manhua’s phone on the coffee table rang. Qu Xiujie picked it up and smiled when he saw that it was Pei Ge.
“Ge Ge, why did you call uncle?”
His tone was still the same laughter he had heard when they first met, but it also had a gentle tone.
It was as though Qu Xiujie was very stable.
“Uncle, where’s my mom?”
Pei Ge’s voice was weak but she felt relieved when she heard Qu Xiujie’s voice. She looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows in the distance where Ji Ziming had planted a few pots of spider plants. They were placed beside the windows in high spirits and were even smiling. The sunlight seemed to be gentle too.
“Your mom doesn’t have the time to pick up your call. Seriously, you don’t even know how to come back to visit your mom after going to the Ji family. What if she finds another daughter someday?”
Qu Xiujie was joking but to Pei Ge, he was blaming her for not coming home for a long time.
“Uncle, I’m calling to express my concern. Don’t mind me.”
Pei Ge laughed out loud as her vision became further and further away. The sunlight in her eyes was filled with gentleness.
“Okay, okay, okay. I have to talk to you properly. You should come home when you’re free. Your mom is living comfortably in the house now. You don’t know that besides cooking and running, she now has a sidekick.”
