Chapter 1844 - Has The Birthday Party Already Begun?

“Ah, no, no.”

Old master Qu was nervous when Pei Ge read his mind. He looked into her eyes and continued, “Pei Ge, where have you been living all these years?”

Old master Qu’s eyes revealed his heartache while Pei Ge smiled sweetly. Before she could return, Ji Ziming had already said, “Old master Qu, you said that you’re not attentive enough to my wife and now you want to study about where she used to live. In that case, shouldn’t you say that you’re overly concerned?”

Everyone knew very well that Ji Ziming’s wife was very similar to Old master Qu’s former wife, their faces were almost identical. However, Old lady Qu, who was standing at the side, had a emotionless and cold expression.

It was as if there was venom hidden in her eyes. As long as she took another step forward, her face would be torn apart and blood would splatter everywhere.

“No, no. I was just concerned.”

Old master Qu revealed an awkward expression as he looked at Pei Ge. “Mr Ji, please come in.”

“Alright, then my wife and I will wish him a happy birthday.”

The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled up. He had already thought of Old master Qu’s reaction today. The reason why he asked Pei Ge to meet him was to let Old master Qu know about the harm done in the past and also because it was the time to attack Old lady Qu.

The best plan was waiting for the best opportunity.

“Alright, thank you. Now that you’re here, I will be even happier with my birthday banquet.”

Old master Qu smiled kindly as he looked at Pei Ge.

Old lady Qu saw how Old master Qu gave her the cold shoulder when he saw Pei Ge and her anger rose to another level. She originally wanted to kill that woman outside but did not expect Pei Ge to be so lucky. Not only did she not die, but she even came to Old master Qu’s birthday banquet as Ji Ziming’s wife.

With this status, who would dare to disrespect her?

Even Old lady Qu did not dare to cross the line.

“Madam Ji and Young Master Qu are here.”

The security guard at the door suddenly reported loudly.

“Madam Ji is here!”

Old master Qu quickly turned around and saw the two ladies walking in with their shoulders exposed. They attracted everyone’s attention.

Madam Ji was known by many in the capital and was very recognizable. On the other hand, Pei Ge’s mother, Zhang Manhua, had her hair tied up in a bun and looked like a noble lady. She was as lazy as a cat resting in the afternoon.

Qu Xiujie walked beside Zhang Manhua and when he looked at them, there was actually a trace of similarity in their looks. For example, their eyes, noses and even Qu Xiujie’s unique ears. They were all so similar.

Qin Qitong and Bi Zheng were wearing luxurious and precious evening gowns as they walked beside Madam Ji. Qin Qitong was beautiful and Bi Zheng was handsome, making her look especially eye-catching.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the guests who had rushed over.

Old master Qu was already rooted to the ground and did not know what to say or do. He even forgot to greet them.

“Mom, you guys are here too.”

Pei Ge walked up and held Zhang Manhua’s hand.

“Yeah, we’re not too late, are we?”

Madam Ji looked at Pei Ge mischievously and continued, “Manhua even said that we’re late.”

Mother Ji smiled at Pei Ge and continued, “Ge Ge, tell me if we’re late or not. Did the birthday party already start when we came?”

Mother Ji wanted to come a little later as the finalists were all powerful figures. Not only would she be able to gain the attention of everyone, but she would also know her place in the Qu family and the capital.

“It’s not too late, it hasn’t started yet. We just arrived.”

Pei Ge explained with a smile. The four women standing together became the center of attention.

The reporters guarding outside the Qu family’s house all picked up their cameras to take photos. The four beauties were exceptionally eye-catching and each had their own merits. The only one who looked comfortable and gentle was probably Pei Ge.

“Okay, that’s fine. We’re not late anyway.”

Mother Ji sighed. It was good that she was not late.

“Mom, since you’re here, why don’t you go in for a drink?”

Pei Ge looked at her mother and then at Mother Ji with a gentle smile.

“Alright, since I’m already here, I definitely have to come in and have a drink. It’s said that Old master Qu has a lot of good wine in his collection. I wonder if I’ll have the chance to taste it today.”

Mother Ji smiled when she saw Old master Qu walking over. “Old master Qu, did you bring out your precious bottles of good wine for us to enjoy today?”

“Of course, of course. If Madam Ji wants to drink, what kind of wine do I not have?”

“Of course. The wine outside is not as rich as Old master Qu’s wine collection. Everyone in the capital knows that Old master Qu’s wine cellar is your family’s greatest wealth.”

Seeing Old master Qu had his eyes on Zhang Manhua, she knew that Ji Ziming’s decision today was right. Everything was going according to plan.

“Yes. As long as Madam Ji wants to drink it, even if she doesn’t, I’ll buy it for her. I’ll let you drink as much as you want. I’ll pay for everything.”

Old master Qu was all smiles as he looked at Zhang Manhua, his eyes glistening with tears.

“Alright then. With Old master Qu’s words, I’m going to drink my fill here today. No one can stop me. If I don’t drink to my heart’s content, I won’t go back.”

Mother Ji smiled and looked at Old master Qu suspiciously.

“Is this the CEO’s wife’s mother?”

Old master Qu looked at her seriously.

“That’s right. This is Madam Zhang Manhua, Ge Ge’s mother. They have been living together.”

Mother Ji revealed this fact intentionally.

“What about the CEO’s wife’s father?”

Old master Qu’s heart ached when he heard that but he could not ask about other things as a relative.

“Old master Qu, you don’t have to know about this. If Old master Qu wants to know about this, let’s talk about it in the future. After all, it’s your birthday banquet today. Saying this kind of thing would spoil the mood.”

“Alright, let’s talk about it later.”

Old master Qu said as he looked at her.
