Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Old master Qu’s eyes were filled with reluctance as he looked at Pei Ge with sorrow. However, there was a hint of pity in his eyes. He did not know if he was talking about his pity but at this moment, Old master Qu actually felt powerless. Ever since Old lady Qu was captured, his complexion had been deteriorating day by day.
It was as if he had become pitiful.
“Alright. Old master Qu, take care.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes were cold and the atmosphere around him turned cold. Even Father Ji and Mother Ji did not say anything as they were not close to Old master Qu. Seeing Ji Ziming’s coldness, Father Ji understood a little.
“Oh. Okay. Okay.”
Old master Qu’s eyes twinkled as he nodded in agreement. Only then did he leave the Ji family’s villa under Ji Ziming’s instructions. He stood at the entrance of the living room on the first floor and looked at Pei Ge, who was sitting on the sofa. He seemed to want to say something but did not. He only looked at her longingly for a while before leaving the living room.
“Ge Ge, are... are you alright?”
When Old master Qu walked out of the hall, Mother Ji sat beside Pei Ge and looked into her eyes. Her voice was filled with concern and her eyes were filled with nervousness. She touched the back of Pei Ge’s hand and continued, “It’s alright. We’re family. Old master Qu won’t do anything to you anymore. Ge Ge, don’t worry. No matter what happened to you in the past, you still have me and Dad. We’re family now.”
Mother Ji could not bear to part with Pei Ge and showed concern in her eyes.
“I... I’m alright. This time, I don’t know why, but when I see Old master Qu, I feel that he has aged so much compared to the last time I saw him. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination but after what happened to Old lady Qu, other than my mom and me being the biggest victims, Old master Qu is also very innocent.”
Pei Ge pursed her thin lips. The words she said actually made her heart hurt. Was Old master Qu old? Why did her heart ache for him?
“What does this have to do with you? Isn’t this his retribution? Back then, he chased your granny out of the Qu family. Now, seeing how well Man Hua is doing with you, he actually wants to re-acknowledge all of you. If you guys don’t have your current status and outstanding success, I don’t know if Old master Qu will still be willing to re-acknowledge you guys.”
Mother Ji’s reply was filled with righteous indignation. From her perspective, everything was indeed related to Old master Qu. She did not think that he could stay out of this.
“Mom, thank you, Dad, and Ziming. If not for you guys, I don’t even know when I would be able to walk out of this trauma. If not for you guys, I don’t even know if I could...”
“Silly child.”
Mother Ji cut her off. Seeing the bitterness in her heart, Mother Ji felt bad for treating Pei Ge badly back then and treating Qu Jingwan more gently and meticulously instead.
“No, I’m telling the truth. I really want to thank you and dad. If not for the two of you accompanying me, I, Pei Ge, might still be living in the shadow of my father’s accidental death. All these years, it’s not that I didn’t think of escaping from that dream, but every time I was about to wake up, I realized that I didn’t wake up at all. It was as if I was especially timid and fearful in that dream. At this moment, I thought that I left with my father and I felt glad because I have left. However, it suddenly struck me that I was still alive.”
Pei Ge’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears. Under the sparkling lights, her charm made one’s heart feel as though it was about to shatter. At this moment, Mother Ji truly understood how much pain Pei Ge was feeling. This woman was silently working hard in a place where no one else could see. All her achievements today were achieved through her own efforts.
Mother Ji realized that her initial bias against Pei Ge had slowly disappeared. Her eyes were filled with heartache for this silly lass, and heartache for this woman who was able to endure her fear. Pei Ge’s heart was so tenacious that even Mother Ji admired her.
“If you want to thank us, why don’t you hold your wedding with Ziming after Manhua’s wedding? You don’t know how long Ziming has been thinking about giving you a grand wedding. You don’t know how much he can’t bear to part with it.”
Mother Ji was also trying to convince Pei Ge to hold the wedding with Ji Ziming earlier. The three children in the house were the cutest and most invincible children. Mother Ji really did not understand why Pei Ge was so worried.
“The two of us...” Pei Ge fell into a dilemma. It’s not that she never thought of holding a wedding with Ji Ziming, but at this moment, she did not realize what her motive was or how she could calm herself down. She still did not understand how she could choose not to get married.
“Ge Ge, you don’t have to worry about anything. Your dad and I will take care of your child. The two of you can work on expanding the company a little more. If you don’t want to, the two of you can travel around the world. As long as the two of you are together, you can go anywhere in the world.”
Mother Ji still wanted to convince Pei Ge, but at this moment, Pei Ge realized what she was afraid of. The fear that rose from the bottom of her heart did not disappear, nor did it make her rely on Ji Ziming more.
In reality, even though she had lived with him for so long, she still stuck to her heart and relied on herself to solve the problem.
Pei Ge did not know that Ji Ziming, who was beside her, was concerned about her and her emotions.
“Mother, I think there are some details that I need to go over to check on at the wedding. I won’t stay here any longer. Where are the three kids now?”
Mother Ji saw Pei Ge’s evasive gaze and knew that Ji Ziming had met with a difficult problem this time. She did not force Pei Ge to stay and merely looked around. “They should be in the garden now.”
