Chapter 2131 - We are a family.

Old master Qu’s eyes were full of reluctance, and his gaze on her became sorrowful with a hint of pity. It was unknown if he was pitying her, but he felt powerless at this moment. Ever since his mother was taken away, his complexion had been getting worse day by day.

It was as if his entire spirit had become pitiful.

“Alright, it’s fine. Rest in peace, old master qu.”

Ji Ziming’s eyes were cold, and the atmosphere around him turned cold. Even his parents did not say a word. He did not have much interaction with old master qu, so his father understood the situation when he saw his son’s cold attitude.

“Oh, Okay, okay.”

Old master Qu’s eyes flickered as he nodded in agreement. Only then did he leave the villa at Ji Ziming’s signal. Standing at the entrance of the living room on the first floor, he looked at PEI GE, who was sitting on the sofa, as if he wanted to say something, but he did not. Instead, he looked at her longingly for a while before leaving the living room.

“Ge Ge, are … Are you alright?”

Once the old man left the hall, mother Ji sat down beside her. She looked into her eyes with concern and anxiety as she caressed the back of her hand.”It’s alright. We’re family. Old master qu won’t do anything to you again. Ge Ge, don’t worry. No matter what you’ve been through, you still have me and Dad. We’re family.”

The man’s mother was reluctant to part with her, but the concern in her eyes did not escape.

“I … I’m fine now, but this time, I don’t know why, but when I see old master qu, I actually feel that he’s much older than the last time I saw him. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I keep feeling that after this old Madam Qu’s incident, other than my mother and I who are the biggest victims, old master qu is also very innocent.”

PEI GE pursed her thin lips. Her words actually made her heart ache. Is this old master getting old? why do I feel heartache?

“What does that have to do with you? isn’t this his retribution? “Back then, he chased your grandmother out of the qu family, and now, seeing that you and manhua are doing so well, he actually wants to acknowledge you two. If you didn’t have your status and outstanding success today, I don’t know if this old master qu would still be willing to acknowledge you two?”

Mother Ji’s reply was filled with righteous indignation. From her point of view, this was all related to old master qu, but she did not think that he could stay out of it.

“Mom, thank you, dad, and Ziming. If it weren’t for you two, I don’t know when I’d be able to walk out of this trauma. If it weren’t for you two, I don’t know if I would still have a chance …”

“Silly child.”

The older woman cut her off. Seeing how the v-rated girl was suffering, she even felt a little pity for treating PEI GE this way back then. Instead, she had become gentler and more tender toward qu Jingwan.

“No, I’m serious. I really want to thank you and dad. If it weren’t for you two, I would still be living in the shadow of my father’s accidental death.” “All these years, it’s not that I didn’t think about escaping from that dream, but every time I was about to wake up, I found that I didn’t wake up at all. It was as if I was particularly afraid. In that dream, I became particularly timid, especially scared. At this moment, I thought I had left with my father, but when I was glad that I had left, I realized that I was still alive.”

PEI GE’s beautiful eyes were glistening with tears. Under the sparkling lights, they looked so charming that it could shatter a person’s heart. At this moment, mother Ji truly understood how much pain PEI GE was in. This woman had been silently working hard in a place that no one else could see, and all her achievements today were obtained through her own hard work.

The older woman realized that her initial prejudice against PEI GE was slowly disappearing. Her eyes only showed her heartache for this silly girl, who could slowly pull through her fear. Her heart was so tough that even the older woman admired her.

“If you want to thank us, why don’t you hold your and Ziming’s wedding together after manhua ‘s? you don’t know how long he’s been thinking of giving you a grand wedding, nor do you know how much he can’t bear to part with it.”

The older woman was also trying to persuade her to hold their wedding earlier. The three children at home were the cutest and cutest, so she could not understand what she was worried about.

“The two of us …” She hesitated. It’s not that she didn’t think of having a wedding with him, but at this moment, she still doesn’t know what her goal is and how to calm herself down. She still doesn’t understand why she chose not to get married.”

“Ge Ge, you don’t have to worry about anything. Your dad and I will take care of the baby. Even if the two of you make the company bigger, if you’re not willing, the two of you can travel around the world. As long as you two are together, anywhere in the world is fine.”

The older woman still wanted to persuade her, but it was only at this moment that she realized what she was afraid of. The fear that rose from the bottom of her heart could not be wiped away immediately, nor did it make her rely on the man more.

In fact, even though she had lived with him for a long time, she still stuck to her heart. She had always relied on herself and wanted to solve problems in her own way.

What she did not know was that the man beside her was concerned about her every little emotion.

“Mom, I just remembered that there are some details that I need to check on at the wedding. I won’t be staying here. Where are the three little ones now?”

The older woman noticed her evasive gaze and knew that the man had really run into a problem this time. She did not force her to stay and merely looked around.”The three children should be in the back garden now.”
