Ji Ziming walked in front of Old master Qu and saw a flash of shock on his face. However, he was calm inside as he looked at Old master Qu and continued, “Old master Qu, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you. If there’s anything wrong with you, then it’s how I address you, right?”
“Well, what do you mean?”
Old master Qu did not understand but did not see the emotions in Ji Ziming’s eyes.
Ji Ziming was always like this. It was hard for anyone to see the emotions in his eyes. It was as though nothing could withstand his attention. Only when he talked about Pei Ge could one see the light in his eyes.
“Doesn’t Old master Qu know what I mean?”
Ji Ziming looked at Old master Qu as he pulled Pei Ge’s hand to sit down. His gaze turned cold as he looked at Old master Qu. The temperature in the hall became even colder.
It was as if a huge refrigerator was emitting a cold temperature. Pei Ge did not make a sound as she sat beside Ji Ziming. The coldness in her eyes was similar to Ji Ziming’s.
“Mr Ji, I think you’ve misunderstood something. I know that Old lady Qu has caused a huge psychological impact on Pei Ge, but I really didn’t know that I came to your house this time to apologize to all of you. It was my fault at the banquet that day. I shouldn’t have said those words, so I’m here to give Pei Ge a sincere apology. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I’m serious. I really want your forgiveness. Pei Ge, no, Madam Ji, are you willing to forgive me?”
Old master Qu stood up and looked at Pei Ge’s face. This face was so similar to the woman in his memories but her eyes were completely different. This person’s eyes were filled with his memories but not hers.
One was gentle, knowledgeable, and generous while the other was like chili pepper. Any man would be able to tell from her gaze that despite their similar appearances, their eyes could not escape Old master Qu’s gaze.
“Old master Qu, aren’t you being too polite? What do you want to apologize to me for? I’m a junior, so how can I ask an elder like you to apologize? Old master Qu, those who don’t know might think that you’re pretending to be polite.”
Pei Ge turned her head and did not believe Old master Qu’s one-sided words. This man’s eyes were always so ridiculous that it made her want to laugh out loud. However, Pei Ge’s character did not allow her to do so and the two of them remained silent for a while.
One wanted to apologize while the other was unwilling to accept.
Ji Ziming looked at the two of them and did not think of what Pei Ge was thinking. He only looked at her face and pondered for a moment. “Old master Qu, I’m afraid that you came to look for Ge Ge today because of something unfavourable. You should know that Ge Ge’s mother, Madam Zhang Manhua, and Earl Charles’ wedding is about to start. The time is pressing. If you want to ask for forgiveness, you can choose to look for Ge Ge after the wedding.
Ji Ziming’s heart was extremely cold. This man probably still did not understand how much trauma Old lady Qu’s actions had left in Pei Ge’s heart and how high the possibility of her recovering was.
“I… I just want to apologize to Pei Ge.”
“Old master Qu, I’m afraid you don’t understand. What’s the point of coming over to apologize now that the incident has happened? If apologizing is useful, why do we need the law and the police?”
Ji Ziming looked at Old master Qu and the cold glint in his eyes was like a sharp dagger that pierced Old master Qu’s heart. He looked into Old master Qu’s eyes and wished he could chase Old master Qu out of Ji family’s villa right now but Ji Ziming did not do anything.
This was not his style.
“Yes, I know that it’s because of me, but you have to give me a chance to make up for it. This isn’t my problem alone. I know that it’s Old lady Qu who has caused you trouble and trauma, but as an old man, I have to do something. Your family doesn’t lack money or connections, so of course, you don’t need anything else. Moreover, my family can’t give you much now. But to Ge Ge, no, I mean Madam Ji, it is different.”
Old master Qu was still thinking about how he had formed a grudge with Ji Ziming when he saw Ji Ziming stand up. Because of his slender figure, he gave Old master Qu a lot of pressure. Looking at this man’s eyes, Old master Qu’s heart skipped a beat.
It was said that Ji Ziming was cold to outsiders. From the looks of it, it was true. She had never realized that he was this cold.
“Mr Ji, I am…”
“Old master Qu, didn’t you say that you came to my house to look for Ge Ge? What else do you want to say now? You’ve already said what you wanted to say, so what else is there to say? Old master Qu, I’m afraid you didn’t think of it, right? Actually, your name isn’t on the guest list of my mother-in-law’s wedding initially, but Ge Ge insisted on adding it later. She did that because no matter what, you’re blood-related to her. But that’s all. Old master Qu, if you still want to have other connections, I’m afraid that this is the end. Don’t think about other things, we won’t have the time to think about it for you.”
Ji Ziming turned around and the coldness in his eyes made Old master Qu fearful. With such a dangerous man by Pei Ge’s side, how could there be any more danger? Just this person alone was enough to make people panic.
“Auntie Zhang, send Old master Qu out. We still have many things to do. When Old master Qu comes to our house in the future, remember to inform me immediately.”
Ji Ziming looked at Auntie Zhang while his eyes were on Old master Qu. His kingly aura suddenly surged and Old master Qu did not dare to say anything. He only looked at Ji Ziming and Pei Ge who was sitting on the sofa without saying anything.
“Then, Mr Ji, I’ll leave now. There’s no need for you to say that. Other than asking about the details of Manhua’s wedding, I also want to see Pei Ge and the Madam Ji, since she doesn’t want to talk to me this time.”
