However, Qu Xiujie did not regret it. He knew that as long as Old lady Qu existed in this house, he would not be able to obtain true peace. The peace that belonged to him had already left him back then and disappeared somewhere unknown with his beloved sister.
She could only blame herself for being young and not knowing the meaning of chasing after him.
Qu Xiujie left the Qu family after leaving his clothes behind. Old master Qu, who was standing at the staircase landing, was still coughing but he had calmed down slightly.
He did not know if this action was good or bad for him, Qu Xiujie or Old lady Qu. If it was good, he hoped that it would last longer. If it was bad, then let him go earlier. As long as Qu Xiujie was willing to come back, he would not mind what he said today. As long as he was willing, he would still treat him the same way as before. He only saw Qu Xiujie’s resolute back view.
Old master Qu suddenly recalled how that woman looked when she left back then. After all, they were a family and the way she left was shockingly similar.
“Master, let’s hurry back to the house. I’ll talk to Xiujie tomorrow. After all, he’s still very young. It’s normal for him to be angry. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
As Old lady Qu consoled Old master Qu, she made a detailed plan in her heart. As long as she ensured that nothing would go wrong or that Qu Xiujie had yet to discover the truth of what happened back then, she might consider letting him live.
“Good! In the end, you became the one who shouldn’t have been attacked the most. It really has been hard on you. How am I supposed to make it up to you?”
Old master Qu held Old lady Qu’s hand and felt that it was a pity.
She was clearly such an understanding woman. Why did so many people dislike her and urge him to leave her? But after so many years, he could no longer leave her. She was the most indispensable person in his life. No matter who tried to persuade him, it was useless because he only believed in this one person.
“Master, don’t feel sorry for me. As long as I can make them stop being angry with you, as long as this family is still complete, I’ll be happy. I don’t care what others think of me. Besides, I’m older than Xiujie. It’s only right for me to be more understanding of him. In my eyes, he’s just a child.”
Old lady Qu had a benevolent smile on her face and the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes revealed her age.
“You are still as kind as before.”
Old master Qu did not seem to be angered by Qu Xiujie’s departure. Instead, after hearing what Madam Qu said, he trusted her even more.
“Old master, let’s head up. I’ll ma.s.sage you; the weather is turning cold and you shouldn’t stay outside for too long.”
Who said she did not understand him and who said he did not understand her? Old master Qu was even more certain that this woman right before his eyes was his wife and a woman whom he would always be proud of.
Neither would he listen to other’s rumors or slanders against Old lady Qu. He only had to trust his conscience and forever believe that she would be the last person to betray him.
“Let’s go, my waist is sore too.”
Old master Qu supported his own waist with one hand and placed the other hand on Old lady Qu’s hand as they went to their room upstairs.
When Old master Qu was soundly asleep, Old lady Qu left the room and gave a call to her close aide. It was already 1:30 A.M. but the call was picked up in less than a second.
“Madam, do you have any instructions?”
The close aide sat up in the dark and his eyes took a while to get used to the darkness. Using the moonlight from outside the window, he saw that the clock beside his bed was pointing at 1:30 A.M..
“Go and check where Qu Xiujie is right now and who he has been meeting. Make it as detailed as possible.”
Old lady Qu turned to look at her back as she lowered her volume. As long as she wanted, she would be able to get a group of men to make Qu Xiujie disappear without a trace but she could not do it.
She knew that even though Qu Xiujie and Old master Qu had such a huge fight, Old master Qu would always remember his son. Even if he stopped his son’s income source, he would think of ways to give him money.
“Sure Madam, do you want it now?”
The close aide had removed his blanket and wore his shoes.
“Right, I want it now. I’ll give you twice the amount that we agreed before.”
Old lady Qu was not stingy with money at all except for the last time when she was cheated of ten million yuan for kidnapping Ellie’s brother. Now the person could not be contacted at all and even when Old lady Qu called his other personal phone number, it was not connected.
Perhaps, he had left the country and it was not Old lady Qu’s territory overseas.
“Okay.”
The close aide was not picky with the price but he was reliable in his work and had never failed. That was why Old lady Qu would spend a huge sum to hire him.
After hanging up the call, Old lady Qu returned to the room and slept beside Old master Qu.
Whereas, Qu Xiujie was in the largest five-star hotel in the capital. He was smoking cigar as he crossed his leg and spoke to another man in suit. “I find your hotel really not bad.”
“It’s my honor to receive the praises of Young Master Qu.”
Murong Cheng laughed as he lay on the sofa. His eyes glowed when he looked at Qu Xiujie but it quickly extinguished too.
“I don’t understand why you and your father fell out? Now you’re stuck in this hotel of mine.”
“Shouldn’t you help when your brother looks for you for help?”
Qu Xiujie did not mind falling out with Old master Qu. In reality, he preferred this kind of life to seeing Old lady Qu’s detestable face that would remind him of how his mother was harshly chased out of Qu family by her.
Although he could not find his mother and younger sister, it seemed like he had hope when he found Pei Ge.
“What are you thinking about? Of course, I welcome you here. It’s not a problem even if you stay here for a long time. The CEO of this hotel is Ji Ziming. You know that as the general manager, I can easily let you stay here.”
Qu Xiujie nodded and looked at his good friend. The two of them had been friends since they were young and Murong Cheng knew everything about Qu Xiujie’s family. Not to mention Murong Cheng, even his cousin knew.
