Chapter 1822: Clear and Bright
Mao Nana blushed and looked at Qu Xiujie and Pei Ge before continuing, “Ge Ge, is it really alright for your uncle to do this?”
“It doesn’t matter. My mother will persuade him. I’m not worried, and you don’t have to worry either. Although Uncle’s temper is very bad, he’s still very responsible for what he says. As long as he promises you, he’ll definitely do it.”
“I know that this characteristic of him is good. I’m just worried that he might go to Qu family. Anyway, I’m fine. I’m just worried about him.”
Mao Nana repeated again and looked at Qu Xiujie, who was listening to Zhang Manhua with his head lowered. The strings in her heart were gently plucked and she finally understood what kind of childhood this weak uncle had.
She also knew what the person living in the luxurious villa meant to Qu Xiujie.
Mao Nana did not experience the feeling of family harmony and naturally knew how upset Qu Xiujie was. To these hypocritical family members who could have become a family but had no choice but to become one with their own worries.
“Ge Ge, what do you think Old master Qu will do to your uncle if he agrees? After all, he chased him out personally.”
“Are you worried about uncle?”
Pei Ge looked at Mao Nana but her eyes were only on Qu Xiujie.
“Mhm.”
Mao Nana nodded. Although she had already seen through this man’s little secret and knew that she would always be by his side, she still hoped that he could walk out of the past by himself.
“Old master Qu chased uncle out. Although he was willing to get out, you must not know how much power he has outside.”
Pei Ge looked at Qu Xiujie and her lips curled up. She did not find him unfamiliar.
Qu Xiujie had already found the Ji family when they had just returned from America. He looked at Pei Ge with such seriousness and certainty. However, Qu Xiujie was not facing a family that he had not seen for many years, but a family that had been living together.
They had the same blood but had different personalities.
“You mean your uncle doesn’t care about himself?”
Mao Nana turned to look at her.
“Well, I think so. I think Uncle is definitely not the simple man we seem.”
Pei Ge looked at Qu Xiujie and seemed to see the light in his eyes. He was too fast and she did not see if he was hesitating.
“I believe that too.”
Mao Nana smiled and pursed her lips, her eyes shining.
The two women looked over as Zhang Manhua continued, “Xiujie, I know you’re in a difficult position, but other than you, there’s really no one else who can save him. No matter how many mistakes he made in the past, at least he has made sure nothing was lacking in your life.”
“Sis, you have no idea. It’s not like I haven’t convinced myself before, but I’ve always failed. I really can’t do it. I don’t think he wants me to go over and participate, nor does he want me to appear in front of him.”
Qu Xiujie lowered his head and thought about how much grievance he had suffered in Qu family. It was not that he was unwilling to leave Qu family but he really could not bear to see that woman doing whatever she wanted in Qu family.
He was only doing his best to protect that person, but that person did not appreciate his efforts and even chased him out.
“You haven’t even tried, how do you know that you can’t? There are many things that you won’t know what will happen if you don’t try. How about you trust me once?”
Zhang Manhua’s eyes were nervous and gentle. How could she not know what Qu Xiujie was thinking about? It was just that she really could not find another lobbyist more suitable to attend Old master Qu’s birthday banquet.
“Sister, I…”
Qu Xiujie looked up and met Mao Nana’s eyes.
It was clear, bright, pure, and kind. It seemed like the best thing in the world.
“What’s wrong?”
Zhang Manhua did not notice and only looked at Qu Xiujie and asked softly, “Xiujie, are you alright?”
Mao Nana looked at Qu Xiujie and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with clear water as she asked gently, “Uncle, what’s wrong?”
“I’m alright.”
Qu Xiujie shook his head but his heart was slowly changing as though something was slowly changing. For example, Qu Xiujie’s thoughts towards Old master Qu.
“Alright, sister, I’ll give it a try.”
Qu Xiujie seemed to have mustered his courage. If Zhang Manhua could find a second person, she would definitely not look for him. However, because it was her and he had to face her eventually, he suddenly changed his mind.
How would she know what Old master Qu was thinking if she did not try? If she did not try, how would she know if he and Mao Nana were compatible? Hence, she might as well give herself a chance.
“Are you serious?”
Zhang Manhua looked into Qu Xiujie’s eyes and asked seriously. Earlier, she was trying her best to convince him but now, it seemed like she did not need to do so. What exactly happened? Was it because Qu Xiujie saw Mao Nana?
“It’s true, Sister. You’re right. How would we know the outcome if we don’t try? If we don’t try, how would we know the outcome?”
Qu Xiujie looked at Mao Nana with the same gentleness in his eyes.
“You guys…”
Zhang Manhua looked at the two of them who were exchanging gazes. She did not need to say anything else and already knew how important Mao Nana was to Qu Xiujie. She finally understood why Qu Xiujie seemed to have become a different person recently.
He used to be someone who had no desires but now, he actually had such a desire to live. Perhaps this was Qu Xiujie’s nature, someone who found love.
Pei Ge looked at the interaction between Qu Xiujie and Mao Nana and suddenly recalled how similar she and Ji Ziming were in the past. She thought that it was just a quick glance in the sea of people but did not expect it to become a mole in each other’s heart.
Someone whom they would never forget after seeing, the love of eternal life.
“I want to give it a try. Even though the person you’re talking about never gave me anything in my childhood, I’ve never lacked anything in my childhood. I should thank him for not chasing me out when I made a mistake and got into trouble.”
