Chapter 1821: None of Us Will Let It Happen

Zhang Manhua, who knew her daughter well, would not believe her.

“Ge Ge, tell me. Is this matter related to Old master Qu?”

Zhang Manhua probed. Seeing the stunned look on her daughter’s face, she immediately understood.

Sadness flashed across her eyes. Of course, she wished for her family to be safe, but she did not expect herself to watch Old master Qu get killed by the woman in front of her.

“Mom, I’ll tell you then. You have to stay strong.”

Pei Ge finally mustered her courage. These few days, Zhang Manhua was exceptionally happy at Qin Qitong and Bi Zheng’s wedding. Pei Ge did not want Zhang Manhua to feel sad because of Old master Qu.

The last time she found out about her family background, Zhang Manhua was clearly in disbelief and even unwilling to believe it. She was just like Pei Ge. In order to avoid the past, she spent so many years choosing to go overseas to start a new life.

However, reality was still in front of them. Everything had not really been avoided.

Those things that should have been avoided were instead slowly forming into calluses in the shadow of time. They did not fall off and remained rooted to the ground.

“Go ahead, I’ll stay strong.”

Zhang Manhua had already prepared herself for the worst, but this plan did not escape her ability to take it.

When Pei Ge said that, Zhang Manhua was lying on the sofa. At this moment, Qu Xiujie and Mao Nana opened the door to the house and rushed over when they saw Zhang Manhua lying on the sofa in pain.

“Sister, sister, what’s wrong?”

Qu Xiujie asked nervously. Seeing the tears in Zhang Manhua’s eyes, he realized that Pei Ge, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, did not move.

“Ge Ge, what did you tell your mother?”

“I said that something might happen at Old master Qu’s birthday banquet.”

She told her mother the truth. “Mom, although my words are a little frightening, once something like this happens, it won’t be any better. It will only be worse.”

“How could she bear to do it? She’s someone who has lived with her for so many years. At least, she’s family.”

Zhang Manhua did not understand that this vicious woman actually had such a heart of stone. No one would believe that Old lady Qu would actually harm Old master Qu or even be that terrifying.

“Mom, I’ve already said that this woman isn’t as charitable as she looks. Only a good person like you would treat her as a good person. If not for her, you and grandma wouldn’t have been chased out. If not for her, dad wouldn’t have met with such a situation.”

Zhang Manhua sat up, her eyes filled with hatred.

“But Ge Ge, is there really nothing we can do? She’s so despicable; is there no one who can stop her? What’s the use of those laws? What’s the use of those police officers?”

Zhang Manhua became anxious. No matter what Old master Qu had done to them in the past, this point alone made her think that she had Old master Qu’s blood in her.

“It’s not that there’s no other way. We’ve already started our plan.”

Pei Ge looked up at her mother and said softly, “Mom, don’t worry. I know that you definitely want to save Old master Qu. I’ve already convinced uncle and Nana, so don’t worry. We won’t let these things happen.”

“Your uncle?”

Zhang Manhua turned to look at Qu Xiujie and Mao Nana and said sadly, “Xiujie, Nana, does this mean that you already knew about this? Why aren’t you willing to tell me?”

“Because I haven’t decided if I should agree to Ge Ge’s request.”

Qu Xiujie sat on the sofa while Mao Nana stood at the side as though she had done something wrong. “Sister Manhua, I didn’t do it on purpose. Ge Ge really said that you can’t know about this so we…”

“That’s why you’re hiding it from me. Ge Ge, aren’t you afraid that I’ll feel disappointed if I find out?”

Zhang Manhua was truly heartbroken. It did not feel good to be kept in the dark.

“Mom, don’t worry. I’ve already made the best plan. Don’t be afraid. I’ll try my best to convince Uncle.”

Pei Ge looked at Qu Xiujie as she spoke. Although she managed to convince Qu Xiujie last time, the situation this time might not be the same.

“I don’t want to go. I really don’t want to go because I hate that person.”

Qu Xiujie looked up and his handsome eyes flashed with certainty. No one knew how much hatred he had for Old master Qu and no one knew how much courage Qu Xiujie would need to take this step.

“Uncle, you…”

“Xiujie, I know you don’t want to save him, but he brought you to this world after all. All these years, although he didn’t do his best to give you fatherly love, at least he didn’t let you worry about basic needs such as food and clothing. No matter what trouble you caused outside, he was the first to settle it for you.”

Zhang Manhua continued, wanting to get rid of Qu Xiujie’s unwillingness. However, Qu Xiujie, who was sitting beside her, remained silent like a huge rock.

The three women surrounded Qu Xiujie and looked rather imposing.

“Nana, come and sit here.”

Pei Ge tugged at Mao Nana’s skirt and said softly.

Mao Nana nodded and walked softly to sit beside Pei Ge.

“Nana, when did you reconcile with my uncle? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Pei Ge was very confident in Zhang Manhua’s persuasion and Zhang Manhua knew what Qu Xiujie was lacking the most. It was also because of this that Pei Ge pulled Mao Nana to the side to talk about the topic between women.

“Don’t you know that there’s a veil between a woman and a man?”

Mao Nana smiled in embarra.s.sment.

“How are you saying that there’s a veil between you and my uncle? My uncle has such a bad temper, you’re separated by a huge barbed wire. That’s why I’m curious about how my uncle relented. His att.i.tude towards you before was so obvious, but he was still unwilling to give in. Now, it’s different.”

Pei Ge looked at Mao Nana. Indeed, women in love were different. Even the atmosphere around them seemed to be filled with pink bubbles, and happiness could be felt by others.

“We’re still fine.”
