Chapter 1918: Did I Do Something Wrong?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Li Li, don’t ask about this family’s matters in the future. You just have to do your own things. You don’t even ask about this family’s matters. It’s been so long. When have I ever let you down?”
Old master Qu looked viciously at the bewildered Li Li.
“I understand.”
Li Li turned around and walked into the kitchen. Only Old master Qu and the butler were present in the huge living room.
“Do you think I’ve gone too far with that disappointing son of mine? If not, I’ll give in and let him come home?”
Old master Qu looked at the huge house and his emotions surfaced bit by bit.
So what if he had such a huge family business? It was all because he had no children. Even if he had children, both of them were not close to him. He was like an old man from a lonely family, pitiful and sad.
What was even sadder was that Old master Qu faced this huge family business alone. He wanted that person to inherit it but Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua were not interested in the Qu family’s a.s.sets.
Pei Ge had Ji Ziming, and as a prominent figure in the capital, she was considered an outstanding figure in the world. As for her daughter, Zhang Manhua’s current husband, he was even more outstanding. He had the status of a duke and the power of the royal family.
They were all from Qu family but Old master Qu could not do or say anything. Seeing the mother and daughter outside made him very uncomfortable.
“Old master, are you thinking about Old Madam?”
The butler probed as he looked at Old master Qu.
“Why should I think about that woman? Am I so useless?”
Old master Qu’s eyes were filled with anger and the butler was so frightened that he did not dare to say anything else and just stood at the side.
“You old thing, don’t spout nonsense in the future. If you continue spouting nonsense like this, I’ll cut off your tongue!”
“Yes, Old master Qu. I know I’m wrong, I won’t speak nonsense again.”
The butler lowered his head and did not dare to say another word. He did not even have the courage to look up at Old master Qu.
“If there’s nothing else, you may leave. I’ll sit here alone for a while. Don’t let anyone disturb me. Otherwise, I will lose my temper.”
“I understand. I’ll inform the others not to disturb you.”
The butler quickly walked out and let out a long breath after leaving the living room. Indeed, accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger. He had already seen how ruthless Old master Qu was even before he reached that stage.
“Old master Qu has never been like Old master Qu.”
The butler cursed under his breath. If Old lady Qu was still around, Old master Qu might not be so angry.
It was precisely because Old lady Qu was not around that Old master Qu was so angry. How could he be happy when he was cuckolded by his woman?
His temper was so bad that he seemed to want to vent all his bad temper for the rest of his life.
Old master Qu sat alone on the sofa in the living room and looked at the familiar seat beside him.
“What did I do wrong, or did you never think of staying by my side? Haven’t I given you enough?”
Old master Qu lowered his eyes and the seat beside him was already cold. Looking at that person’s back view, he seemed to still be in this room.
However, Old lady Qu was currently in so much pain that she wished she was dead. As she thought about how she could be saved, she also thought about how she could move back with Pei Ge.
“Since you’ve already left and things have already turned out this way, don’t come here to let me down. Don’t come back to the Qu family.”
Old master Qu leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes as he thought about the good times in the past. Back then, Old lady Qu was exactly what Old master Qu loved.
Unfortunately, there was no one by Old master Qu’s side now.
“Sometimes, I wonder if I did something wrong. How did I end up like this? Why can’t I let go of everything that you wanted?”
Old master Qu’s eyes were sad as he looked at the seat beside him. He was no longer as friendly as before.
In the past, Old master Qu was someone who would make mistakes.
Time froze as Tang Xiaoyu and Gu Zhengrong finally stood at the same auction venue.
The lights were as bright as day and all the guests present were either rich or n.o.ble.
“Xiaoyu, you should be mentally prepared.”
Mr Li stood beside Tang Xiaoyu and looked into her eyes. Just thinking of how she had been at odds with Gu Zhengrong a few days ago made his heart stop.
“I know, Mr Li. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of my emotions.”
Tang Xiaoyu was dressed to the nines and her white dress was breathtaking.
The exposed cleavage perfectly ill.u.s.trated the delicate figure of an exquisitely beautiful woman, making the eyes of the man beside her light up. He could not help but look at her figure, causing him to forget why he came to this auction venue.
Her makeup was exquisite and her skin was well-maintained. Standing among a group of n.o.ble ladies, Tang Xiaoyu was still able to stand out.
“Xiaoyu, this way. Our seats are here.”
Mr Li walked forward and extended his right hand in a gentlemanly manner. His expression was so appropriate as if he had already rehea.r.s.ed it.
“Thank you, Mr Li.”
Tang Xiaoyu lowered her head slightly and walked past Mr Li’s hand.
Everyone in the huge bidding hall was discussing the price list. They were talking about the mysterious bidder and how powerful he was.
However, no one knew that the mysterious person was standing behind them, looking around at the scenery with a calm expression.
“Xiaoyu, are you confident about this bid?”
Mr Li held up a gla.s.s of champagne and pa.s.sed it to Tang Xiaoyu. He looked at the woman before him, whose makeup was so exquisite that any man would be willing to take a few more glances at her. When he first saw her, she had a thin and frail look and brought Duo Duo along with her.
“Of course, with Mr Li’s support, I definitely have a lot of confidence. Even if I don’t get the final bid, I’m confident that Gu Zhengrong won’t dare to stay in the same venue as me again.”
“Your courage is not bad. I have not misjudged you.”
“Mr Li, I still have to thank you for your help. I’m working under you. The knowledge I’ve learned isn’t comparable to yours.”
“Haha.”
