Chapter 1838 - Because Of Old Lady Qu
Chapter 1838: Because Of Old Lady Qu
There was no such woman in this life.
“Why are you asking this? Could it be that you’ve found his mother? Or are you simply making a big fuss out of this?”
Old master Qu looked at Ji Ziming suspiciously but did not understand what Ji Ziming wanted to clarify. However, when the two men looked at each other, they realized that their hearts were not pure.
“Old master Qu, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m just asking if you still remember what happened when Mr. Qu’s mother left the Qu family.”
Ji Ziming felt a little regretful. Why did he promise Pei Ge that he would serve Old Master Qu? This old man was clearly a typical heartless man who played out his shortcomings perfectly, yet he received Pei Ge’s sympathy and even wanted to save him wholeheartedly.
“I want to save him not because he is Old master Qu, not because he is my grandfather or because he is the head of Qu family but because of Old lady Qu.”
Her words echoed in his mind like a video recorder. Her clean and smooth face made him feel nostalgic.
It had been a long time since he last called or texted her.
The last time they didn’t contact each other was at the police station.
That case had not reached the final step.
“Old master Qu, I think you should know that when Mr. Qu’s mother left the Qu family, she left with a little girl. There’s no news from then on, right?”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled up as he looked at Old master Qu coldly.
“Right. How did you know?”
Old master Qu frowned and looked at Ji Ziming as though he was looking at an invisible person who could see through all the secrets in his heart. What was the reason for this man’s fear in the capital city? It was because in Ji Ziming’s world, he would never fail to know what he wanted to know.
As long as it was something he wanted, he would rush to Ji Ziming’s side.
It was also because of this that business could take over the entire country and even the entire world.
However, Old master Qu did not think so. He always felt that Ji Ziming knew what people were most afraid of and used this to achieve Ji Ziming’s goal, such as now.
“There’s nothing that I can’t know, and nothing that I definitely won’t know.”
Ji Ziming looked at Old master Qu and his voice was cold like the king of hell. Just one look from him was enough to make Old master Qu feel fear and terror. Because of this, Old master Qu seemed to have forgotten whether the person he was facing was a god or a human.
“What does this matter you know have to do with you telling my wife’s secret? Could it be that you’ve already found her? What about that girl, my daughter? Is she in the capital? Is she doing well?”
Old master Qu asked so many questions that he forgot to cough.
“Old master Qu, don’t you think it’s a little too late for you to ask all these now? If you really wanted to look for Mr. Qu’s mother, you would have had the chance to look for her the moment she left. However, after so many years and decades, you didn’t do anything but made the Qu family’s business prosper. In your heart, women are not as important as your business.”
Ji Ziming sighed. In Old master Qu’s world, he knew which was more important.
“What nonsense are you spouting? It’s not that I haven’t gone to look for her, but his mother would never let me find her. You don’t know her well, and you don’t know how heartless she is. She could leave for decades. What’s wrong? Is she back now? Is she unable to survive outside? Or is she old, weak, and sick?”
Old master Qu was not willing to believe that in Qu Xiujie’s mother’s heart, if his position was really important, how could this woman leave without a word?
“That’s not the case. Mr. Qu’s mother passed away very early.”
When Ji Ziming said that, the coldness in his eyes was akin to a knife stabbing Old master Qu’s heart.
“What did you say?”
Old master Qu did not want to believe this truth. He did not even want to believe what Ji Ziming said. Could it be that what he had always been firm about had turned into ashes before he knew it? With the wind blowing, everything had already ended.
“Old master Qu, if you really wanted to keep Mr. Qu’s mother back then, I’m afraid she wouldn’t have left this world so early and wouldn’t have left a woman to drift alone outside. No matter how big this world is, there’s no place suitable for her.”
Ji Ziming purposely emphasized as he looked at Old master Qu with a sharp gaze. “Old master Qu, you brought this upon yourself. You want to let the person who once loved you to receive retribution that she should not have.”
“I…”
Old master Qu’s eyes were cold as he stared at his hands in a daze for a while before saying, “Where is she? I want to go and see her.”
“Madam has already passed away. It’s been so many years and you haven’t lived as well as her. Although she doesn’t live as well as you used to, she seems to be living happily.”
Ji Ziming could only comfort him like this. Seeing that Old master Qu lowered his head and did not want to think anymore, he continued, “Old master Qu, what Mr. Qu and I want to tell you is not to scare you. It’s because you really have to think carefully about whether the woman beside you is worth your effort.”
“Where is my daughter?”
Old master Qu looked up at Ji Ziming again and asked, “Mr Ji, where is my daughter? How is she now? Is she doing well? Since you already know about what happened back then, you must also know where she is now and how she is doing. Is she married? Is her husband good to her?”
Old master Qu seemed to have seen hope and was only wondering if his daughter needed his help or if she needed him to bring her back to Qu family.
“Old master Qu, if you really want to know, please talk to us rationally about what we want to talk to you about. As for why, I think you’ll find out very soon and meet your daughter whom you’ve been worried about.”
