Chapter 1669: Could it be that you’re here to find my daughter-in-law?

Madam Ji obviously did not believe that Qu Xiujie had encountered her son by chance and was brought along to their home. She would rather believe that he was here to get Qu Jingwan and see if she was bullied in the Ji family.

“You’re mistaken. I’m not here to visit her.”

He smiled, and this baffled her.

“If you’re not here for Jingwan, who are you here for? Could it be my Pei Ge?”

She laughed while staring at this man. She crossed her arms; the willfulness in her eyes did not anger Qu Xiujie, who merely kept smiling.

“You’ll know who I’m here for later.”

At this time, the couple, who had gotten out of the car, did not notice that the two elders seemed to be waging a war with each other as they walked past them and entered the house.

Ran Ran was lying on the sofa with a cooling patch on her forehead as the doctor examined her.

“Doc, how is my daughter?”

When the doctor tidied his tools, Ji Ziming asked this anxiously.

“Young master, don’t worry. Little mistress is merely down with a cold. She just needs to keep herself warm. It’s normal to catch a cold with the changing of the season.”

The doctor eased all the man’s doubts. He touched his daughter’s forehead to see if she was still running a fever before continuing to speak. “Rest assured that she’s no longer running a fever.”

“Thank you.”

Both parents quickly sat beside their daughter and touched her forehead. Pei Ge choked. “Ran Ran, don’t be scared; mommy and daddy are here now.”

“Mommy… daddy… you’re back.”

The lass’s voice was weak, but she still did her best to speak to them.

“Madam, this is the medicine I prescribed for the little missus. She will have to drink one during the day and another at night daily; wear thick clothes to stay warm, and that will do.”

The doctor placed the medicine on the coffee table. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now.”

“Okay. Thanks, doc.”

She got up and bid the doctor goodbye, while Auntie Zhang escorted him out of the house. Pei Ge asked her daughter anxiously, “Little lass, did you play in the water?”

“Mommy…”

The girl’s sweet voice sounded like a flower blooming in the room and in her mother’s heart.

“You still dared to laugh. You’ve really scared us.”

Pei Ge pinched Ran Ran’s nose slightly.

“Alright. Since our daughter is fine now, you don’t have to worry. Wait till we’re done with dinner, we’ll get her to take the medicine.”

“…I know.”

Pei Ge nodded and took the small white bottle with instructions on how to use it.

“Did the doctor leave? What did he say about my granddaughter?”

Madam Ji and Qu Xiujie entered the house and saw the doctor leaving so they asked.

“She’s alright now. The lass, she will get well soon.”

When Ji Ziming said this, he looked at their daughter. If he had not rushed back, he would probably be consumed by anxiety.

“What did the doctor say? I still have no idea.”

Madam Ji walked to their side and looked at Ran Ran who was still flushed. She could not help but ask, “Look at yourselves; your daughter isn’t feeling well the first day I’m back, yet you guys have been back for so many days…”

“It’s my fault. I didn’t notice that she’s ill. I’ve been too caught up with company’s matters these days.”

Pei Ge explained because she had the most responsibility.

“How is it your fault? If we need to blame someone, it should be my son. I heard about your company’s matters while I was overseas. Ge Ge, don’t worry; our Ji family isn’t so easy to bully. That’s why I came back. If you guys need my help, just tell me quickly.”

The older woman’s tone changed suddenly. She became endearing toward Pei Ge and even sat down beside her. “Ge Ge, don’t worry. If you guys are busy, you still have me at home.”

“I…”

The younger woman was battled by her sudden change of attitude toward her.

“What’s wrong with you? Don’t trust me? I knew everything even when I was in the US. Even if were to be on the moon, I’d be able to know everything I wanted to know.”

Madam Ji’s face was gentle, unlike the previous shrewdness which filled it.

“‘Even the moon’? You really know how to boast.”

Qu Xiujie finally knew what was going on. He had already heard about Pei Ge’s company’s matter but did not expect things to be so serious. He had just become aware that Qu Jingwan returned to their family from the Jis from speaking to his friends just then. The driver drove that lady back to the Qu family mansion and did not even help her with her luggage.

“How was I boasting? I’m Madam Ji.”

The elderly woman rolled her eyes at Qu Xiujie and noticed that he was sitting beside her son. Suddenly, she became flustered. “Why are you sitting beside my son? What right do you have? I told you; Jingwan already left our house to go back to your family’s.”

“What has that lady got to do with me? In actuality, she has no blood ties with me.”

Qu Xiujie looked up and saw Madam Ji acting nervous.

The more nervous she was, the more he wanted to tease her.

“Tell me truthfully: Why are you here in my house? Could it be that you’re here to find my daughter-in-law?”

She did not care about his pestering and cared only about everyone in her family.

“You actually got it right. I’m here for Pei Ge’s sake. How’s it? Are you unhappy with it?”

He purposely teased her.

“Auntie, don’t be anxious; Mr. Qu turned out to be my uncle.”

Pei Ge held the older woman’s hand and spoke apologetically but with a hint of happiness. She did not even expect this herself.

“What? Repeat that again; my ears aren’t so good. Who is your uncle?”

Madam Ji suspected if she had heard the wrong thing. When did her daughter-in-law become the niece of this ill-bred man?
