Chapter 1809: What a Lazy Cat, You Actually Slept Again
“Uncle, you promised me earlier that you would save him, so you can’t go back on your words now. You must save him. If you don’t, I don’t know what will happen in the end, but I don’t want you to regret it someday.”
Pei Ge looked at Qu Xiujie and saw the hesitation in his eyes. She was certain that Qu Xiujie would definitely go back and would not let Old master Qu survive in the Qu family alone.
As long as there was hope, there was a chance of success.
She hoped to give it a try no matter the outcome.
“Okay, I’m willing to go look for him, but if he really doesn’t listen to me, then I have no choice. I can’t tell you that I’ll definitely complete the mission because I definitely can’t.”
“Now, uncle, your task is to convince him. Trust us. No matter who he is, we must make him stand on our side.”
Pei Ge looked at Qu Xiujie with calm eyes, as though she was a female general who could already devise a strategy in the business world. However, the Pei Ge now looked so wise and farsighted. Though she did not have the title of She did not have the title of CEO Ji Ziming’s wife to show off, she was not to be belittled. Wherever Pei Ge appeared, Ji Ziming would appear and the black Rolls-Royce would appear.
“Ge Ge, I’m here to pick you up.”
The moment Butler Charlie opened the door, Ji Ziming walked in coldly. The night breeze brought with it the freshness of the night sky. However, the first thing he saw was Pei Ge, who was standing between Zhang Manhua and Qu Xiujie.
“Why are you here?”
Pei Ge looked at Ji Ziming, who was walking over from the door, in surprise. His handsome features had a handsome smile. Just looking at Pei Ge made one feel warm and comfortable.
“I’m here to bring you home. How are you? Have you settled everything?”
“Almost.”
Pei Ge looked at Qu Xiujie and then at Ji Ziming.
Ji Ziming walked forward and wrapped his fair hands around Pei Ge’s waist. Just as he was about to say something, Qu Xiujie took the lead.
“Say, Ziming, isn’t it a little late for you to pick Pei Ge up now?”
“It’s not late. I just left the company, so how can it be considered late? Also, no matter how long it takes for me to pick Pei Ge up, it won’t be late.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes were cold and his aura was chilly.
“Fine. You two still want to flaunt your love in front of a loner like me. This is really pushing me to my old age.”
Qu Xiujie leaned on the sofa and looked at Ji Ziming as he continued, “That’s why your plan has already been carried out. Since it has already started, what else do you need us old people to do?”
“The elderly are more useful than us. Uncle, are you feeling indignant for yourself?”
Ji Ziming’s voice was cold and sounded like the cold wind in late autumn. Although it was cold, it was warm.
“I didn’t. How would I dare to stand up for myself? You two have arranged everything properly, so I don’t have the right to know anything.”
Qu Xiujie sat on the sofa with a cold gaze. He looked at Ji Ziming and continued, “But I also believe you guys. You guys must already have an answer in your hearts. If you need me in the future, just look for me. I’ll wait for you guys in the house.”
“Uncle, it’s an honor for you to think this way. We’ll definitely tell you when we need your help.”
Pei Ge was about to drive back with Ji Ziming when she was stopped by Zhang Manhua. “Ge Ge, we have a lot of fish at home. You guys can bring some back.”
“…”
Thinking of the table full of fish dishes tonight, Pei Ge wanted to choke and spit out a few mouthfuls. However, before she could find the washroom, Zhang Manhua had already placed a bucket of fish in Ji Ziming’s hands and instructed him seriously, “This fish was caught by your uncle and Charlie today. You can go back and make soup or something.”
“Okay, thank you, mom.”
Ji Ziming gladly accepted it. It just so happened that Mother Ji had been clamoring to eat collagen recently, so this fish was quite abundant.
“No need to thank me, no need to thank me. Anyway, we have a lot at home. You guys can bring it back to eat. Come and get it after you’re done.”
Zhang Manhua smilingly reminded her. Since they had plenty at home and they could not finish all the fish, they could still share some with the servants even if they could not finish it. Zhang Manhua knew that Mother Ji was never a petty person and felt reassured by the fish.
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming nodded and held Pei Ge’s hand as they walked to the car. Pei Ge looked at the bucket of fish and felt a headache coming on. She could not help but frown. “Ziming, there are so many fish. Are you planning to keep them at home?”
“I make soup for you every day. Do you want it?”
Ji Ziming placed the fish bucket properly before opening the car door for Pei Ge. He got in and asked gently, “Ge Ge, what’s wrong?”
“I don’t want to drink fish soup, alright?”
Pei Ge’s face was as bitter as a bitter gourd. She had only eaten a fish banquet so she could no longer eat any more fish. Now, she could not even stand the smell of fish.
“Okay. You can eat whatever you want,” he said dotingly.
“I don’t want to eat fish!”
“Okay, then let’s not eat fish. Let’s drink soup.”
“…”
Pei Ge was drained of energy by Ji Ziming’s words. She leaned against the window and thought that Qu Xiujie and Butler Charlie were very capable. The two of them appeared in a quarrel when they first met but now, they could actually go fishing together.
It had to be said that the relationship between the two was very confusing.
By the time Ji Ziming drove the Rolls-Royce to the Ji family’s villa, the stars and moon were already slowly climbing up to the sky. The moonlight illuminated a large patch of bright white, and the shadows on the ground seemed to be sentient.
The light breeze could blow away everything. Even the light breeze could not move them. They were the mascots that had been placed in a fixed position.
“Let’s go. We’re home.”
Ji Ziming parked the car and spoke to the person beside him, only to realize that the person beside him was already asleep.
“What a lazy cat. You actually slept again. I haven’t told you that we’re home yet.”
