Chapter 1745: If Anything Happens, You Still Have Me

While Mao Nana was eating and drinking in the house, everyone in the Ji family’s villa was calm because of an unexpected guest.

Qu Jingwan, who had red makeup on, stood at the door in a gentle manner. Auntie Zhang was very hesitant. Before she opened the door for Qu Jingwan, Ji Ziming had already told her sternly not to open the door and not to let anyone from Qu family in.

Auntie Zhang would never ask about the specific reason, but because it was Qu Jingwan who had lived in the Ji family for so long, Auntie Zhang was hesitant if she should tell Ji Ziming or not.

Just as Auntie Zhang was hesitating through the iron gate, Pei Ge, who was standing at the entrance of the villa, saw that Auntie Zhang did not return after some time and asked, “Auntie Zhang, what’s wrong? Who’s at the entrance?”

“Madam, you’re finally here.”

Auntie Zhang turned around and saw Pei Ge walking over. She quickly walked up nervously and pulled Pei Ge’s arm as she whispered into her ear, “It’s Miss Qu Jingwan. I told her that I can’t let her in but she insisted on coming in. I don’t know what to do. I’m afraid that the CEO will blame me later.”

Auntie Zhang looked uneasily at the iron gate and then at Pei Ge.

Pei Ge’s beautiful eyes were bright and she looked at the iron gate as though she could look through it.

Her voice was sweet yet irresistible. “Auntie Zhang, where is my mother-in-law now?”

“The old madam was picked up by her sister this morning. They said that she won’t be back for today.”

Auntie Zhang quickly explained. After Qu Xiujie and Zhang Manhua apologized to the Ji family yesterday, Madam Ji called her good friend until midnight and agreed that the two ladies would go out to play the next day.

“What about Ziming?”

Pei Ge asked as she looked in the direction of the metal door.

“The CEO also went to the office early in the morning.”

Auntie Zhang replied.

“Then let her in. If Ziming asks, just say that I let her in. Auntie Zhang, just tell him the truth. Don’t worry about anything else. If anything happens, you still have me.”

Pei Ge suddenly understood why Ji Ziming had repeatedly emphasized that the Qu family should not be allowed to enter the Ji family’s house. If anyone were to experience Qu Jingwan’s scandal themselves, they would not have it easy. Moreover, the Qu family, which used to be one of the wealthiest families in the capital, could not collapse just because of this small piece of news.

“Madam, this...”

Hearing Pei Ge’s promise, Auntie Zhang still did not dare to let Qu Jingwan in. It was not that she had not seen Ji Ziming lose his temper before. Although he rarely lost his temper after being with Pei Ge, if he did, it was not something that Pei Ge could handle.

“It’s fine, Auntie Zhang. Just let her in and wait for me in the conference room on the first floor. I’ll go upstairs to change.”

Pei Ge pursed her lips and smiled, relieving Auntie Zhang of her anxiety and fear.

“A-Alright then.”

Auntie Zhang nodded and walked to the iron gate after Pei Ge entered the villa.

“Miss Qu, the CEO isn’t home...”

“I’m looking for Pei Ge.”

Qu Jingwan did not wait for Auntie Zhang to finish speaking as she voiced out her thoughts. In fact, she had been squatting at the Ji family’s entrance for quite some time. From Mother Ji’s departure in the morning to Ji Ziming driving the black Rolls-Royce, she finally knocked on the door.

“Eh?”

Auntie Zhang was a little shocked by Qu Jingwan’s honesty and continued asking, “Miss Qu, why are you looking for our CEO’s wife?”

“Hmph! The CEO’s wife? I’m still Ji Ziming’s fiancée in name. What right does she have to call herself the CEO’s wife? So what if she slept with Ji Ziming? There are many people in this world who want to sleep with Ji Ziming and have slept with him before. Why is a little lass like her so arrogant?”

Qu Jingwan’s red lips were thin and her words were like gems that were unpleasant to hear.

“If you say that, I won’t let you in. I have to consider the safety of the CEO’s wife. If you do anything bad to her, I won’t agree to it.”

Auntie Zhang swore that she would not let such a bad woman into the house just because of Pei Ge’s pity. When Pei Ge and Ji Ziming’s family went to America, Qu Jingwan angered Auntie Zhang quite a bit.

She was already so old, yet Qu Jingwan, who was not a part of the Ji family, called her a ‘disrespectful elder’. Luckily, Auntie Zhang did not have a heart disease or she would have gone to report to the King of Hell.

“Old thing, you’re amazing now that you won’t listen to me anymore. Don’t regret it.”

Qu Jingwan was furious. Seeing how Auntie Zhang dared to put on airs in front of her, her red lips and white teeth were twitching from her anger.

“I’m not as good as you, Miss Qu. If you really want to look for the CEO’s wife, go look elsewhere. My door doesn’t open for anyone easily.”

Auntie Zhang could not take it lying down as well. Seeing Qu Jingwan’s smug look, she wanted to suppress her.

“You!”

Qu Jingwan’s red lips parted and her brows were knitted into a frown. However, on second thought, she had seen too many ugly faces since the incident. Those young masters who promised to give her a luxurious mansion and a luxury car to be their mistresses had all left.

“Auntie Zhang, please do me a favor. I really want to go in and talk to Pei Ge about this. I promise that I won’t make things difficult for her. I also promise that I’ll leave obediently after I’m done here, alright?”

Qu Jingwan lowered her voice. Standing at the door, she looked like a pitiful person standing in the rain and praying for others to open the door for her.

“Really?”

Auntie Zhang was famous for having a sharp tongue but a soft heart. When she saw that Qu Jingwan’s attitude had become friendly, she did not feel angry anymore. She thought that if Qu Jingwan entered the house, she would be able to help her a little and did not think too much about it.

She opened the iron gate to let her in.

“Old thing, you’re just a watchdog!”

Just as Qu Jingwan passed by Auntie Zhang, the latter overheard her mumbling.

“You!”

Auntie Zhang stood rooted to the ground as her face turned red from anger. This Qu Jingwan really did not know what was good for her. She clearly helped her but still did not know what was good for her. No wonder Ji Ziming chose Pei Ge over her.

“If you want to enter, you have to see what the watchdog wants. Otherwise...”
