It was not impossible to stay out of this matter but Old master Qu understood Ji Ziming. He knew that Ji Ziming must be hiding the outcome that he wanted.
However, precisely because of this, Old master Qu did not want to look for Ji Ziming.
This was no different from surrendering to Ji Ziming.
“You’re not allowed to go!”
Old master Qu shouted that he would not let Old lady Qu look for Ji Ziming and would rather hang on.
Old lady Qu looked at Old master Qu in disdain. “Old master, if we don’t look for Ji Ziming, I’m afraid we won’t be able to survive this ordeal. Jingwan is Ji Ziming’s fiancée after all, so I think we can still consider it.”
Old lady Qu said her suggestion again but she did not expect that in Old master Qu’s world view, the survival of the company was less important than his ego.
To Old lady Qu, there was nothing more important than what she wanted in this world. She was someone who could even sell her body and was totally different from Old master Qu when it came to ego.
“You’re just a woman; how can you know so much? You just focus on your own matters. You don’t have to worry about my matters and you don’t have to worry about the company’s matters in the future. You just need to manage Qu Jingwan and your precious daughter well. Just don’t get in my way.”
Old master Qu’s face was red and his breathing was heavy. He did not care what Old lady Qu was thinking. At this moment, there was nothing more important than his company.
Although he knew that this was a trap set up by Ji Ziming and his final goal was to get Old master Qu to look for Ji Ziming, He also understood that the last thing he could do was to look for Ji Ziming in Ji Group or Ji family’s villa.
He could not embarrass himself further at this age.
He had already lost too much face and could no longer bear the humiliation.
“Old master, do you really not want to look for Ji Ziming? If you don’t go and can’t bring yourself to look for him, I can look for him. I’ll go on your behalf. I’ll apologize to him for our Qu family’s company’s sake. I don’t believe that he can stop an old woman like me from entering if I were to look for him.”
Old lady Qu said it tactfully so that Old master Qu would feel sorry for her. As long as Old master Qu felt sorry for her, she would not be so sad. In fact, at the end, she might be able to let Old master Qu live yet Old master Qu did not do so.
Not only did Old master Qu not do it, he even mocked Old lady Qu.
“You’re going to look for Ji Ziming? Do you think you can meet someone like Ji Ziming whenever you want?”
Old master Qu stood in front of Old lady Qu. With a commanding look, the sharpness in his eyes almost devoured Old lady Qu.
“Old master, I’m just going to visit Ji Ziming. Perhaps, in his eyes, he will give me some face as Qu Jingwan’s grandmother.”
Old lady Qu did not want to believe that an old lady like her was as useless in Ji Ziming’s eyes as Old master Qu made it sound. If that was the case, she could restart her last plan.
As long as it was to get what she wanted, she would not bother ending Old master Qu’s life.
“Forget it; I don’t want you to look for Ji Ziming anymore. I’ll handle the company’s matters. You just have to settle the family’s matters at home. There might be more people coming to look for us at home to settle the company’s matters. If they’re here to compensate for the breach of contract, just agree.”
Old master Qu seemed to have resigned to his fate. He did not expect that in the end, he would have to deal with major clients compensating for the breach of contract.
“Old master, are you really not going to look for Ji Ziming?”
Old lady Qu’s heart ached. This was not what she wanted to see. She also knew that in Ji Ziming’s eyes, he only wanted her or Old master Qu to look for him. However, in Old master Qu’s heart, he would never go.
Since Old master Qu would not go, she could only fulfill the mission of finding Ji Ziming herself.
At the thought that Qu Xiujie was still in Ji family and that Pei Ge and the three children were in Ji family, Old lady Qu felt nauseous. She had not felt this way in so many years.
“If I don’t go, you’re not allowed to go either. If I find out that you went to find Ji Ziming, I’ll also chase you out of my Qu family!”
Old master Qu’s roar was ear-piercing to Old lady Qu. He said that he wanted to chase her out of the Qu family, out of the Qu family that she had sacrificed so much for.
“Old master, are you chasing me out?”
Old lady Qu’s eyes were filled with tears as the white chandelier in the living room shone on her face.
“That’s right. If you dare to look for Ji Ziming, I’ll still chase you out. If you don’t believe me, you can try. I call the shots in the Qu family, not you. This family is surnamed Qu!”
Old master Qu wanted Old lady Qu not to look for Ji Ziming and to not even have such thoughts.
Old lady Qu felt a chill run down her spine. Her years of hard work and company were not as important to this man as a company that was about to go bankrupt.
“Okay, old master. I understand. I won’t look for Ji Ziming. I’ll always be by your side. I’ll listen to you and stay at home to wait for you to settle the company’s matters.”
Old lady Qu lowered her head. The tears in her eyes were sharp and her eyes looked cold like a wolf in the dark night. It was precisely because of this that Old lady Qu’s heart turned cold.
What am I exactly to this man?
Old master Qu did not understand Old lady Qu’s thoughts and only thought that if Old lady Qu went to look for Ji Ziming, the Qu family might follow Ji Ziming’s surname. He could find some old comrades and work hard together to get through this difficult situation.
However, Old master Qu had miscalculated. He had so many good friends and old friends but this time, they were all unanimous and were unwilling to sponsor Old master Qu. They were even unwilling to lend him a million yuan.
This was the first time Old master Qu understood what it meant to have a bad ending after offending Ji Ziming. He did not offend Ji Ziming but he was punished for indulging Qu Jingwan’s actions in Ji family.
