How could she learn to forgive such an evil woman? She even wished that she had never known Old lady Qu.
“You don’t want to admit it, right? If you don’t admit it, that means you have done all of these. Old lady Qu, you’re a philanthropist and a famous career woman in the capital. You have a wonderful family and wealth that everyone is envious of. How can you bear to take away the happiness of an ordinary family like mine?”
She gripped the necklace tightly in her hand. The viciousness in her eyes finally turned into two pools of clear water, and her chin clearly flowed with tears that caught Ji Ziming off guard.
“Ge Ge—”
Ji Ziming walked forward and quietly hugged Pei Ge in his arms. Seeing the tears on her face, his heart ached. His voice was hoarse, yet it gave off a strong sense of security.
“Ge Ge, don’t be afraid; I’m still by your side.”
“Old master, old master, hurry up and snatch the necklace. That necklace is a unique jewel. You can’t find another one in this world. Old master, hurry up and snatch it. That b*tch Pei Ge doesn’t deserve such a jewel.”
Old lady Qu’s eyes were unfocused. She felt the scene of Ji Ziming hugging Pei Ge very glaring.
“Mr Ji, quickly let go of this b*tch. She will only bring bad luck. She caused her father’s death, her good friend’s death, and her son’s death. Soon, she will come and kill you.”
Old lady Qu stared at Pei Ge and her voice became sharper.
“Oh? Do you think she’s a jinx?”
Ji Ziming raised his brows and looked at Old lady Qu coldly. “Then, do you know that her misfortune was caused by you? In this mess, only you are the biggest troublemaker. My woman is my most precious gift and the best jewel given to me by God. Who do you think you are?”
Ji Ziming’s voice was cold and his eyes were cold as he looked at Old lady Qu. The police officers who were waiting at the door watched Ji Ziming hug Pei Ge tightly. Without his instructions, no one dared to take a step forward. Even the leader of the police officers only looked at the three people in the crowd.
“Impossible, impossible. She’s a jinx to begin with. It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me. It definitely has nothing to do with me.”
Old lady Qu lowered her head and looked at her reflection on the ground. Her heart was filled with fear as she jumped up hurriedly. “I’m a good person. The bad person you’re talking about is not me.”
Suddenly, Old lady Qu raised her head and looked at Pei Ge’s face as though she was looking at the woman from the past. “It’s her. If she didn’t marry old master, I wouldn’t have to deal with her myself. She can only blame herself for meeting me.”
“Blame me? Are you blaming my grandma? The woman who blocked you from becoming Old lady Qu?”
Pei Ge held the necklace in one hand and held Ji Ziming’s hand tightly with the other as she looked at Old lady Qu with bright eyes.
The gaze in her teary eyes was so clear.
“Old lady Qu, no, shouldn’t I say your original name? You’ve been using Old lady Qu’s name for a long time. Shouldn’t you return it?”
Pei Ge’s hand, which was holding onto Ji Ziming’s, was sweating profusely. The two of them did not fight. Just like that, one of them told the truth of what happened back then, while the other was afraid to face the guilt.
This incident had become a scar in Old lady Qu’s heart and could not be got rid of easily. It would bleed and it was painful.
“It’s not me, it’s not me. It’s really not me. I didn’t do this. It really wasn’t me. You got the wrong person. I’m a good person.”
Old lady Qu lowered her head and repeated the claim that she was a good person over and over again. However, she did not know that what the guests saw was a woman tearing off all her masks. No one knew what exactly happened back then or how the then Old lady Qu was chased out of Qu family by the Old lady Qu now.
In the aristocratic circle, it was not rare for mistresses to rise to power. However, there were very few people who would kill the man’s real wife.
“Don’t worry. I won’t tolerate my wife. Ge Ge, I only found out today that you two are living such a miserable life outside. My heart aches so much. Can Manhua return to my Qu family? Grandpa will give you everything. I’ll give you everything you want. I’ll give you this family and Qu family’s company as long as you want it.”
Old master Qu wanted to use everything he had to compensate Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua for the pain they had gone through in the past few years, but he did not get the response he wanted.
“Old master Qu, Ge Ge has left your Qu family for so many years, but she has never even taken a sip of water or a grain of rice in your family. If you let her return to your family like this, people might think that you are trying to make up for the guilt in your heart or that you want to use Ge Ge to get involved with my family.”
Ji Ziming paused for a moment and looked at Old master Qu before continuing, “Everyone knows that you once arranged for Miss Qu Jingwan to come to my house, but in the end, Pei Ge and I fell in love, so everything you wanted was not achieved. If you insist on bringing Pei Ge and my mother-in-law back to the Qu family, I really can’t guarantee what the people outside will think of you.”
Ji Ziming analyzed the pros and cons. When he saw Pei Ge leaning weakly in his embrace, his heart ached even more.
When one tore off the scars on one’s body and exposed them to the air, it might hurt, but it would heal quickly.
Everyone should understand such simple logic, but Pei Ge did not have the energy to think about it now.
“You are…”
Old master Qu was speechless. His little secret was revealed by Ji Ziming and fear flashed across his eyes.
“That’s why, Old master Qu, you have to think this through carefully. It doesn’t mean that Ge Ge is willing to return to the Qu family. The darkness of these matters can really be passed. In Pei Ge’s heart and mother’s heart, it doesn’t matter whether the Qu family is serious or not.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes were cold as he looked at the police officers standing behind the crowd. With a look, he signaled the uniformed police officers to tie Old lady Qu up and get her into the police car.
“Mr Ji, regarding Old lady Qu’s offense, we will investigate properly and give you a satisfactory answer.”
The leader of the police stood before Ji Ziming and said respectfully.
“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you guys. There is a lot of evidence for Old lady Qu’s crime. The person we caught a few days ago might be able to help.”
