Pei Ge’s lips curled into a smile. “But I feel that uncle is probably planning something. I don’t think he will admit defeat so easily, nor will he…”
“The two of you are already at the door, why aren’t you coming in? What are you standing at the door for?”
Qu Xiujie’s voice came from the house and it was loud and clear.
“Coming, coming.”
Ji Ziming hurriedly replied before Qu Xiujie stopped talking and waited for Ji Ziming and Pei Ge to enter.
“Uncle, what are you discussing with my mother?”
Ji Ziming walked into the house and saw Qu Xiujie half sitting on the floor and Mother Ji lying on the sofa beside him with her eyes closed. The two of them seemed to be getting along harmoniously.
“I’m asking your mom if she wants to choose which one to use.”
Qu Xiujie’s reply was sincere but Mother Ji, who was sleeping on the sofa, did not seem to appreciate it. “Can’t you just say that you want to use it? Why must you say that I want to use it?”
“You’re being insincere. I was clearly prepared for you to use it.”
Qu Xiujie was holding the Gucci brand’s high-cla.s.s member present. The two custom-made leather bags that were delivered to Mother Ji were priced around seven digits and were considered expensive among expensive gifts.
“Since you’re giving it to me, why do you still love it so much?”
Mother Ji suddenly sat up and looked at Qu Xiujie, who was sitting at the stall, with a smug look in her eyes.
“I’m just helping you pick.”
Qu Xiujie was still finding excuses for his actions and was unwilling to admit that he had his eyes on Mother Ji’s bag.
“If you like it, you can have it.”
Mother Ji saw that the love in Qu Xiujie’s eyes could no longer be hidden and could only take a step back.
“Really?”
Qu Xiujie’s eyes lit up. When he heard Mother Ji’s words, he hurriedly picked up the brown handbag in his hand and turned to look at Pei Ge. “Ge Ge, do you think your mother will like this bag?”
The family then realized that this was the reason Qu Xiujie wanted.
“Uncle, are you giving my mother her bag?”
Pei Ge was surprised. Seeing the certainty in Qu Xiujie’s eyes, she continued asking, “Uncle, my mom doesn’t really use these.”
Pei Ge was in a dilemma and had no choice but to tell Qu Xiujie this but was afraid that he would not accept it.
Before Zhang Manhua left the country, she was a thrifty person. After she left the country, even though her life became richer, she did not spend extravagantly. Instead, she became thrifty.
“I think this is a good greeting gift.”
Qu Xiujie was pleased with himself and was very satisfied with his taste. However, he did not know that Mother Ji’s name was already engraved on the Gucci bag in his hand. It was a privilege to be a high-level customer of Gucci.
Qu Xiujie did not know but Pei Ge did.
“Are you afraid that your mother won’t like presents?”
Qu Xiujie looked at Pei Ge with hurt in his eyes. He looked at her quietly but did not continue.
“No, uncle, that’s not what I meant. You’re thinking too much.”
Pei Ge stood still and looked at Qu Xiujie with gentleness in her voice.
“Uncle, you really misunderstood Ge Ge’s intentions. What she meant was that if you want to give this bag to Ge Ge’s mother, you can consider giving her something else. After all, this is a gift from my mother’s Gucci store. No matter what, it’s not very presentable.”
Ji Ziming stood beside Pei Ge with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes as he looked at Qu Xiujie calmly.
“Is that what you mean?”
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Qu Xiujie suddenly realized that it was not that Pei Ge was unwilling to accept such a gift. It was just that his ‘meeting gift’ was too shabby. It was actually a bag that he had shamelessly obtained from Mother Ji.
Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed too careless. He actually did not understand a woman’s heart at all.
“Uncle, you only need to meet my mother to know that she’s an easy person to get along with.”
Pei Ge said softly, wanting to break the awkwardness in Qu Xiujie’s heart.
“Alright, I understand.”
Qu Xiujie looked at the bag in his hand and placed it back on the coffee table beside Mother Ji’s hand. There was a hint of disdain in his voice. “You should have said so earlier. When I came out of Qu family, how could I bring so much money? Isn’t this all thanks to your mother? She didn’t even buy me a present in R City.”
The more Qu Xiujie spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. He did not forget to look at Mother Ji as though everything he had suffered was all because of her.
“Why are you looking at me? Are you blaming me for not buying you a present or…”
Before Mother Ji could finish speaking, Qu Xiujie, who was sitting on the carpet, stood up immediately. His handsome face was filled with impatience as he looked at Mother Ji. “It’s all because you’re unwilling. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want your bag.”
“Old thing, what are you saying? You just said you wanted to thank me for my bag, now you want to kick me to the curb after I’ve outlived my usefulness?”
Mother Ji’s eyes were filled with anger as she glared at Qu Xiujie with her round eyes. “Old thing, if you dare to touch anything of mine again, I promise I’ll make you scram from the Ji family to the streets outside tonight.”
Mother Ji was furious as well. She had never seen Qu Xiujie like this.
“Old woman, I won’t touch your things. It’s not like I can’t find anything else. Moreover, I won’t get out just because you ask me to get out. How embarra.s.sing would that be!”
Qu Xiujie roared back. Ji Ziming and Pei Ge, who were standing beside them, looked at the two of them in shame. When would there not be any quarrels in the house? It was the quietest and scariest time in the house.
Mother Ji was not afraid of Qu Xiujie’s loud voice and wanted to retort back. However, before she could say anything, Pei Ge’s words extinguished all her anger.
“Mom, can you stop being so calculative with uncle?”
Pei Ge’s voice was tinged with sadness and she did not know if her persuasion would work.
“I won’t bicker with him, I’ll make a huge fuss!”
Mother Ji had originally made up her mind to drive Qu Xiujie to the main road of the Ji family’s villa for the night. However, because of Pei Ge’s words, she wanted to retreat.. Moreover, she had never intended for Qu Xiujie to really spend the night at the main entrance of the Ji family’s villa.
