This showed how important Mao Nana was to Qu Xiujie.
“Miss Mao, are you hiding your past?”
Old master Qu’s voice was low and there was a hint of comfort in his eyes when he looked at Mao Nana. This woman was really pure. No wonder Second Brother was willing to go through so much trouble to capture her. It was only because the capital was Ji Ziming’s world that he did not dare to take the next step.
“Miss Mao, don’t you have any intention of explaining yourself to me?”
Old master Qu did not wait for Mao Nana’s reply even though he already knew it.
“Old master Qu, if you insist on asking me, I’m afraid you already know the reason why I left. Since you already know, why do you have to interrogate me?”
Mao Nana finally could not hold it in anymore. She looked up at Old master Qu with sadness in her eyes.
“Old master Qu, it’s not important what kind of person I am. I really want to be together with Qu Xiujie. I came to look for you to fight for a chance for him…”
“You don’t have to fight for it. I can tell you now that the 6% shares are already under his banner. If you think that this 6% is not enough, how much do you think I should give him?”
Old master Qu’s eyes were kind and his aura flowed around Mao Nana.
“Well, I… I don’t know.”
Regarding the confidential information of Qu Group, Mao Nana felt that it was better not to say too much. After all, this was a special period for Qu family and it was an awkward period between Old master Qu and Qu Xiujie.
“Miss Mao, your relationship with Second Brother…”
Old master Qu finally mentioned “Second Brother” and brought up the scene that Mao Nana was most unwilling to recall.
In the dark room, everyone was making fun of Da Liang. Everyone was saying that Second Brother was so naughty and that Da Liang deserved it.
It was as if everything was inverted. Everyone had become the accomplices of Second Brother and Sire Nine. Everyone was saying the same thing. They were saying that Da Liang was in the wrong. Da Liang was the one who wanted to go near to the giant cake.
“I have nothing to do with Second Brother. Old master Qu, don’t think so highly of yourself. I think I still have many wonderful aspects waiting for you to discover but Qu Xiujie is different from me. He is your son in front of you. Do you think you are…”
Mao Nana’s voice was gentle as she looked at Old master Qu with mixed emotions. However, when she thought of Qu Xiujie who was standing at the door, she wanted to retreat.
The power of loving someone could make oneself stronger, and the power of hatred was the same.
Mao Nana loved Qu Xiujie deeply but she also understood that Qu Xiujie hated Old master Qu deeply. The hatred between father and son was not something that Mao Nana could expose just because she wanted to. For so long, the person she cared about was always by her side and the person she loved hated was on the verge of bankruptcy.
No matter how much time had passed, perhaps one day, Mao Nana would really become Qu family’s daughter-in-law. At that time, Old master Qu would definitely not become so generous and joke around like now.
“Miss Mao, have you thought it through?”
Old master Qu looked at Mao Nana and did not reply for a long time before continuing to ask, “Miss Mao, I hope you understand that although I only have this one son, he is still blood related to me. You have to believe that no matter how many people I have, I still trust him. I know what kind of person my son is.”
“Since you already know, why do you have to treat him like this?”
Mao Nana did not know what was going on as she looked at Old master Qu’s bright eyes. The sweat in her palms slowly condensed as she pressed on the leather sofa tightly. She knew that she already had an answer in her heart and knew that no matter how she tried to explain, there would not be a final answer.
“Alright, Old master Qu. Sorry to disturb you. I’ll leave now.”
Mao Nana lowered her head and spoke in a gentle voice. When she stood up, she heard Old master Qu say the name of the person she never wanted to hear again. “Miss Mao, if Second Brother knew you were in the capital and knew you were here, what do you think would happen?”
Old master Qu leaned on the sofa and watched as Mao Nana stood up and placed her long legs in front of him.
Mao Nana felt her scalp turn numb. She did not wish to hear this person’s name ever again in this lifetime. She only spoke a few words to Old master Qu and she already heard so many rumors about this person.
If possible, she wished that she had never appeared in R City in her life. If possible, she wished that she would never remember anything about this person, even if it had to do with the word ‘second’.
That night, when everyone was laughing at her, Mao Nana’s wound was hurt again and it made her feel miserable.
“Why must you mention this person?”
Mao Nana looked up. Her beautiful eyes were filled with faint redness as if she had seen red starlight in the dark. Her eyes were filled with hatred. The person who had hurt her best friend in front of her would never be forgiven.
“What’s wrong? Did Second Brother do something to you?”
The more Mao Nana was unwilling to face something, the more Old master Qu wanted to know. The more it was like this, the more he wanted to know how terrifying Second Brother was in Mao Nana’s heart.
To be precise, Second Brother had caused a lot of trauma to Mao Nana and made her choose to leave at the peak of her career. It was also when Mao Nana was pestering Qu Xiujie like this that she would rather give up everything and fight for the 6% shares for Qu Xiujie.
“Miss Mao, I really want to ask you. Before you met Qu Xiujie, you were a big shot in R City. Why did you suddenly choose to be an inconspicuous model in the capital?”
Every word of Old master Qu was like a knife that engraved on Mao Nana’s heart. It went deeper and deeper, causing her to feel so much pain that she wished she was dead.
