Chapter 1824 - You Are Really Shrewd

“Believe it or not, I’ve already told you. If you really don’t believe me, smash it. That’s the only thing your mother left in this house. If you smash it and regret it afterwards, don’t blame me for not telling you.”

Old master Qu covered his chest and coughed as he tried to control himself.

“Okay, you said that this belongs to my mother. Then, let me ask you what evidence you have. What evidence do you have to prove that this belongs to my mother?”

Qu Xiujie’s eyes were vicious as he thought that the object could belong to his mother.

“Everything your mother owned has a pentagram carved under it. See if there’s a pentagram under this tiger. If there is, then you can decide if you want to smash it.”

Qu Xiujie flipped the crystal tiger over skeptically and looked at the acronym of his mother’s name under the tiger’s claws. Indeed, it was like a shocking thunderbolt that made Qu Xiujie stand rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do next.

“Now you know where this thing came from.”

Old master Qu seemed to have completed a huge task as he took a deep breath and continued, “If you really want to smash it, just do it. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

“Old thing, you are really shrewd. You actually thought of using such a method to get me to trust you?”

Qu Xiujie’s eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes.

“Do you think I’m willing? Do you think I’m lying to you on purpose? Do you think I...”

Old master Qu could not speak anymore. The cough had already covered up all the words he wanted to say. It seemed that the more agitated he was, the harder the cough would make him suffer. The more uncomfortable he felt, the more Old master Qu wanted to explain everything to Qu Xiujie.

However, Qu Xiujie did not take it to heart.

His pupils dilated and the disbelief in Qu Xiujie’s eyes seemed to be expected in Old master Qu’s eyes. When his cough eased slightly, Old master Qu continued, “If you really don’t believe it, then don’t believe it.”

“Why would an old man like you keep my mother’s things? Haven’t you already been with that woman for a long time? Don’t you find it disgusting to keep my mother’s things? Seeing them every day, are you trying to atone for your actions back then? Or are you just looking at the pot while eating? In your heart, my mother is just a collaborator with you to take down Qu Group, right?”

The more Qu Xiujie spoke, the colder his voice became. “However, my mother is not even a collaborator because she was chased out by you before she could even enjoy herself. A person like you is not worthy of this position. I actually listened to my sister and came to convince you so I can save you!”

Qu Xiujie’s voice was terrifyingly cold. “Old man, someone like you should have been taken away earlier and...”

Before Qu Xiujie could finish speaking, Old master Qu had already fallen to the ground and was silent.

“Old man? Old man?”

Qu Xiujie looked at Old master Qu who had collapsed on the ground and tried to call him a few times. After getting no response, he stretched out his leg to kick him a few times but there was still no response. He then quickly picked up the phone on the table and called for the ambulance to arrive at Qu family’s villa.

The ambulance was specially prepared for these wealthy families in the Qu family’s villa so that they could send the patient to the nearby hospital immediately. When Qu Xiujie carried Old master Qu downstairs and rushed to the entrance, the ambulance arrived at the entrance.

“Get in the car and go to the hospital.”

Qu Xiujie’s voice was cold but the nurses and butler did not say anything. They opened the car door for him and accompanied him to the hospital.

This process took less than ten minutes.

Qu Xiujie brought Old master Qu to the hospital and when they reached the resuscitation room, he looked completely different from his usual calm self. However, because of this, the butler standing at the side asked softly, “Young master, have you reconciled with old master?”

The butler was very puzzled. In the past, it was impossible for Qu Xiujie to bring Old master Qu to the hospital for emergency treatment. The two of them were simply incompatible and could not wait for each other to disappear.

Why would he call for an emergency call and send Old master Qu to the hospital?

“Have you found the VIP team?”

Qu Xiujie placed his hands on his waist and panted. The situation was too urgent just now and at that moment, he did not expect Old master Qu to die in front of him. If God took him away so quickly, it would be too easy on him.

“Yes, they’re all inside. Master has never fainted like this before. Was it because in the study...”

The butler glanced sideways at Qu Xiujie and said weakly, “Young Master, I’ve already informed the Old lady Qu to come over.”

“Oh? You’re pretty fast. You’ve already informed her. Should I leave now?”

Qu Xiujie pretended to cough and looked at the butler as he continued, “Everyone says that you guys are afraid of her but I’m not. It’s just that it’s not convenient for me to face her now. We will naturally meet again when the time comes.”

“Young Master, are you not going to see Old lady Qu? She has been very concerned about you recently.”

The butler did not understand why such a good person like Old lady Qu would become the headline suspect in Qu Group. Everyone in the company was saying that this incident happened because Old lady Qu transferred all the funds in the company.

Old master Qu did not have evidence to prove that Old lady Qu did it but he also did not have evidence to prove that Old lady Qu did it.

In addition to Qu Xiujie’s stimulation, she actually fell sick all of a sudden.

“Why do I want to see her? Should I continue arguing with her?”

Qu Xiujie’s voice was low and he could not read the butler’s mind.

“Young Master, that’s not what I meant. I meant that you should go home. Old Master and Old lady Qu are very concerned about you. When you weren’t at home, Old lady Qu would often go to your room to reminisce about when you were at home. She would always say that if you were at home, the house wouldn’t be so quiet.”

A trace of pity appeared in the butler’s eyes as he looked at the brooch in front of Qu Xiujie.

It was expensive and definitely not bought when he was still in the Qu family.

The outside world was spreading rumors that Qu Xiujie had joined the Ji family and it seemed to be true.

“Young Master, you...”

“I what?”

When Qu Xiujie saw that the lights in the emergency room were still red, he suddenly felt uneasy and could not believe everything.
