Chapter 1973: Won’t Feel Sorry For These

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qu Xiujie was very certain and the sincerity in his eyes moved Pei Ge’s heart slightly. She looked at him and said with a tinge of sadness, “Mr. Qu, let’s skip this topic for now. I think Ziming has already told us the reason why you came to look for us. Since it’s so clear, let’s just talk it out.”

“Great, Mr Ji, you have good eyes.”

Qu Xiujie admired him from the bottom of his heart. At this thought, he finally understood why Ji Ziming knew so many things but still calmly thought of how to pave the way for the next step.

That was because Ji Ziming already knew the truth. What he needed to do was to wait for time or someone else.

For example, Qu Xiujie.

“I don’t have good eyesight. I’m just stating facts. I hope Mr. Qu won’t blame me.”

Ji Ziming leaned on the sofa and the cold air around him made Qu Xiujie slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, he smiled. “How can that be? Since Mr Ji already knows about it, I’ll be frank. I want a safe place to stay and need your bodyguards to protect me.”

“What’s the reason?”

The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled into a smile as his eyes glinted coldly, exuding the aura of a king.

“The reason is that I can give you the information I gathered in Qu family as an exchange condition. I have information on my own and no one knows it better than me. Also, don’t forget that I am from Qu family. In Qu family, how can Old master Qu not give me what I want?”

Qu Xiujie was pleasantly surprised. All his trump cards and whether he could gain Ji Ziming’s trust today was thrown into this smokeless war.

“Are you betraying your family?”

The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled up and his eyes were brimming with laughter. He was not angry but domineering, and his cold expression made his handsome features appear even more solemn.

“No, to be precise, I’m betraying Old lady Qu. She has been arrogant and domineering in my family for so many years. It’s time to remove this poisonous tooth.”

When Qu Xiujie spoke about Old lady Qu, his expression was filled with hatred and the clear sound of him biting his teeth could be heard clearly by Ji Ziming and Pei Ge. The immense hatred of someone could not be accumulated in a short period of time.

“I heard that Old lady Qu and Old master Qu are very loving. I’m afraid that your betrayal will be known by Old lady Qu before you even walk out of our family’s door. Wouldn’t I be innocent then?”

The shrewdness in Ji Ziming’s eyes was like a mirror that could shine into one’s heart. Qu Xiujie felt guilty when he looked at Qu Xiujie.

“Mr Ji, your company or your mansion shouldn’t be so unreliable, right? Everyone in the capital looks up to you. I came out of nowhere to look for you for protection. Are you not going to take me in?”

The smile in Qu Xiujie’s eyes did not fool Ji Ziming but made him even more suspicious.

“But you’re also part of the Qu family. Qu Jingwan’s surname is Qu, and mine is Ji.”

Pei Ge understood what Ji Ziming meant and how could Qu Xiujie not understand. However, his smiling eyes were calm and even fearless.

“Mr Ji, don’t forget that I’m here to rely on you. If you can’t even do such a small thing, how can you continue to survive in the capital?”

Qu Xiujie did not care but he underestimated Ji Ziming’s lethality.

“I, Ji Ziming, never use the word ‘muddle’. Besides, if I don’t get paid for what I want to do, why would I need to mobilize my bodyguards for you?”

Ji Ziming knew that Qu Xiujie would definitely leave him the last message. What he needed to do now was to force out that last message.

A house and a few bodyguards were not a problem.

Ji Ziming never felt heartache over this.

All he cared about was Pei Ge and the mastermind behind her.

“Ji Ziming, well done!”

Qu Xiujie was furious but he could not do anything about it. He was alone in Ji Ziming’s territory looking for Ji Ziming’s protection but there was nothing. Instead, he was mocked and teased by Ji Ziming.

It was as if Ji Ziming had predicted all of this.

Qu Xiujie did not believe it and was unwilling to admit defeat. His expression was vicious as he looked at Ji Ziming with sharp eyes and his tone was filled with sarcasm. “Mr Ji, you are the sky in the capital. Can’t I, a person with the surname Qu, look for you?”

“Like I said, I’m a businessman. When doing business, I naturally have to pay you back. If you can’t give me what I want, why should I protect you? There are so many people in this world who need protection. What reason do you have to be different from them?”

Ji Ziming leaned on the sofa with a calm expression.

Qu Xiujie finally could not hold it in anymore. His last trump card was the condition for him to negotiate with Old lady Qu. If he were to expose it to Ji Ziming now, it would be easier for him to force Ji Ziming to his death if he did not protect him as promised.

“Alright, Mr Ji. I’ll tell you now what I’m different from others.”

Qu Xiujie sat on the sofa beside him and looked at Ji Ziming, who had lost at this moment.

However, in the Qu family mansion, Old lady Qu was comforting Old master Qu’s shoulders. Her actions were gentle and her strength was just right. Old master Qu kept praising her. “After so many years, you still understand my body best.”

“Master, we’ve been married for so many years. How could I not understand you?”

Old lady Qu’s voice was shy like a young girl but her gaze followed the newspaper in Old master Qu’s hand. There was a news article about Red Star’s real estate acquisition.

Red Star’s acquisition had long been spread in the real estate industry. It was said that wherever Ji Ziming went, he would be the one stiring up things. The industry had long regarded Ji Ziming as a god, and what was more mysterious was the woman behind him.

Just as Old master Qu was about to flip through the newspaper to read Pei Ge’s message, Old lady Qu took it away. “Old master, don’t read the newspaper anymore. It’s not good for your eyes.”

“Aiya, I just want to see how the real estate industry has made Ji Ziming look like a god. They even said that the woman behind Ji Ziming is very powerful. I want to see how powerful this woman is. Can she be more powerful than my wife?”

Old master Qu smiled.
