Chapter 1851 - Another Type, Enemies

Old lady Qu had been in the Qu family for so many years and everything in the family belonged to her. Even Old master Qu did not come over to ask about it, so Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua were even less qualified.

“Old lady Qu, I think you’ve misunderstood. Ge Ge and I will never return to your family. You know very well what you did back then. It’s not impossible if you want us to make things clear today, but you need to know what kind of things you have done in this situation. I wonder if there will be a different ending for you?”

Zhang Manhua really did not give in. Seeing Old lady Qu’s arrogant look, her heart was filled with hatred.

“Oh? You make it sound like you’re really from the Qu family. Why don’t I give you my identity as Old lady Qu?”

“I don’t want it if you give it to me. I don’t even care to enter your family. Old lady Qu, I’m afraid that the things we care about might not be the same. Don’t say that to me.”

Zhang Manhua never cared about the Qu family’s insignificant assets.

“Madam Zhang, I think you’re mistaken. When I do things, I will never give up my seat for you just because of who you are. Moreover, with so many guests around, could my words be fake?”

“Old lady Qu, it’s precisely because you’re Old lady Qu that I feel that you shouldn’t be too full of yourself. Otherwise, you’ll easily be slapped in the face. Nothing in this world is absolute and nothing will definitely belong to you.”

Zhang Manhua’s face turned red from anger as she held Pei Ge’s hand tightly. “Ge Ge, this banquet doesn’t seem to welcome us. Let’s go.”

“Mom, I don’t think we should leave. We shouldn’t be the ones leaving today. Old lady Qu, I think you should understand what I mean.”

Pei Ge looked at Old lady Qu intently. Her eyes were cold and her gaze was like that of an owl in the middle of the night.

“Why would I understand? Madam, you’re so funny. Am I a roundworm in your stomach? Do I have to understand everything you say? Wouldn’t we be bosom friends then?”

Old lady Qu looked into Pei Ge’s eyes and asked in surprise, “Why? Do you want to explain to me?”

“Old lady Qu, we understand each other. Other than being close friends and sisters, there’s another type of enemy.”

Pei Ge’s eyes turned red. Those unbelievable facts were becoming more vivid and clear in her memory, the nightmare that tormented her.

“You?”

Old lady Qu was surprised. Indeed, Pei Ge, Ji Ziming, Zhang Manhua and the rest came with the biggest scheme, but her scheme had already reached the final step and she could not give up.

“What’s wrong? Did I make Old lady Qu unhappy? Or am I right?”

Pei Ge looked at Old lady Qu with fiery eyes as though she wanted to destroy this extravagant birthday party.

“Pei Ge, you have to remember your status. You’re just a lass. What right do you have to criticize me? So what if you’re Mr Ji’s wife? Your mother is just so-so. What right does a commoner have to strut around here?”

“Then am I qualified?”

Before Pei Ge could retort, Ji Ziming, who was standing beside her, pulled her into his embrace. His petite and alluring appearance caused everyone to be silent.

“Old lady Qu, am I qualified?”

Ji Ziming looked at Old lady Qu coldly. The coldness in his eyes made Old lady Qu feel fearful as though everything was under his control.

“Mr Ji, what do you mean by that?”

Old lady Qu felt uneasy and looked at Ji Ziming with even more fear.

“Old lady Qu, even if you don’t know what I mean, Old master Qu should know.”

Ji Ziming changed the topic to Old master Qu, the man who stood beside Old lady Qu but did nothing.

“Old master, what does Mr Ji mean? Did I do something wrong? I’ve been working hard for the Qu family for so many years. Others might not know, but do you not know, old master?”

Old lady Qu’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Old master Qu as though she had been wronged.

“Madam, I don’t even know what you did, so you don’t have to care about what CEO Ji said.”

Old master Qu looked at Old lady Qu and could not bear to see her like this. However, when he thought about how Old lady Qu would poison him slowly, his anger reached its peak but the atmosphere was still immersed in the joy of Old master Qu’s birthday banquet.

Old master Qu suddenly thought of a bold idea and patted her hand.

“Madam, don’t panic. Don’t panic. I’m here to announce something.”

Old master Qu walked to the middle of the stage and looked at everyone below the stage. He said loudly into the microphone, “This time, thank you everyone for attending my birthday banquet. I am very grateful that my family has so many friends in the capital.”

Old master Qu paused for a moment and looked at Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua. His eyes shone like stars. “Today, I want everyone to witness something. I want to give all the assets under my name, including the company and my house to Pei Ge and her mother.”

As soon as he said this, the people below started whispering to each other.

“I’m afraid that the Qu family has quite a lot of wealth. Are they all giving it to a daughter who is wandering outside?”

“Everyone says that Zhang Manhua was taken away by the old madam. Is that true?”

“I have to say that Pei Ge is really similar to the old madam back then. Every frown and smile of hers is so similar.”

…

There were many opinions, but it was Father Ji who broke the silence.

“Old master Qu, happy birthday!”

Father Ji walked up to Mother Ji with a smile and a glint in his eyes. He hugged Mother Ji’s waist and continued, “Old lady Qu, aren’t you looking down on my in-laws a little too much? My in-laws didn’t have a good life in the past, but they didn’t take a fancy to your Qu family’s money. Moreover, does anyone here know who my in-laws are?”

Old master Qu looked at the guests around him and realized that everyone looked shocked.
