However, Zhang Manhua, who was sitting on Pei Ge’s other half, did not think so. She was a gentle and benevolent person, so she still wanted to prepare a generous gift for Old master Qu.

  “Ge Ge, how about we get Qitong to order some expensive supplements from the American company?”


  Pei Ge turned around to look at Zhang Manhua. She did not nod or shake her head in rejection as she thought of her plan.

  Ji Ziming had already told her about the plan of the woman beside Old master Qu. This meant that all the gifts were not real. The best gift was to rip apart the old woman’s mask.

  “Ge Ge, what are you thinking? How’s my suggestion?”


  Zhang Manhua tugged at her daughter’s sleeve. She had already said a lot, but she did not receive a nod from her daughter.

  “Mom, I think we can put aside the gifts.”


  Pei Ge said softly. Zhang Manhua and Mother Ji, who were sitting by the side, looked surprised. Mother Ji was just saying that Old master Qu’s birthday banquet was not a normal small family gathering.

  Although Qu Group was now in a dangerous position, it could not hide the fact that this company had been praised by many people in the capital and that many people would fight to get in.

  Other than Ji family, Qu family was the most capable.

  However, it was clear that the Ji family was not just one or two steps ahead of the Qu family but could directly dominate all the industries that the Qu family was in. It was also because of this that Mother Ji felt troubled.

  It would be disrespectful if they did not give enough presents. If they gave too many presents, it would appear that the Ji family thought too highly of the Qu family. However, reality was different.

  “Ge Ge, what do you mean by that? Are you telling us not to attend Old master Qu’s birthday banquet?”


  Mother Ji probed. The surprise in her eyes was clear.

  “No, I don’t mean that we won’t attend his birthday banquet. We just want to attend it with dignity. After all, this is the first Old master Qu’s birthday banquet I attended in the Ji family. How can our Ji family not attend the birthday banquet?

  Pei Ge pursed her lips slightly. She knew very well that only Mother Ji did not know about Old master Qu and Zhang Manhua’s relationship, but Zhang Manhua knew her daughter very well. It was also because of this that she could not wait to bring Butler Charlie to Ji family to ask Pei Ge.

  The past and the truth of those matters had yet to be resolved. They were about to meet and start a real war.

  “Mom, listen to me. You can choose whatever you like, whether it’s custom-made in America or some supplements. Our Ji family doesn’t lack money. As for what I want to do, I’ll tell you later.”


  Pei Ge held her mother’s hand and explained.

  How could one lose face by giving gifts? How could the Ji family fall behind others?

  “Okay, I understand. Madam Ji and I will handle this gift. You can do whatever you want as long as it’s done by you.”


  “Mom, why don’t I see uncle today?”


  Pei Ge looked outside the door. In the past, when Zhang Manhua came to the Ji family, Qu Xiujie would follow her like a shadow. Now, she had not seen him for a few days and there was not even a simple call between them.

  “Your uncle has been playing with Nana in the capital these past few days. The two of them went out early in the morning and came back late.”


  “With Nana?”


  she asked in surprise.

  “That’s right. Didn’t you say that Nana has nothing to do with the Qu family? Your uncle decided not to continue being in a deadlock with Nana and brought her to some fun places in the capital and delicious places to play. The two of them are now stuck together.”


  At the mention of Miss Qu, Zhang Manhua’s eyes were filled with joy. The man she was worried about was finally going to have a new life. No matter where Mao Nana came from, no matter what she did in America, as long as Qu Xiujie liked it, Zhang Manhua would agree.

  “I can’t tell that Qu Xiujie is really a romantic. When I first saw his attitude towards Mao Nana in R City, I thought that it was impossible between the two of them. It seems that men still like beautiful women.”


  Mother Ji felt that it was a pity. She really did not expect that Qu Xiujie would really get together with Mao Nana at the fastest speed.

  “Madam Ji, not all men like beautiful women. It’s just that they hit it off. Although there’s such a huge age gap between them, I’m still very surprised that they can actually get together. It’s fate.”


  Her mother could not hide the joy in her eyes.

  “Still, we don’t have to worry about Nana treating Xiujie sincerely and being a good wife.”


  Zhang Manhua was very pleased. She had only taken in Mao Nana for a few days, but she had given Qu Xiujie a new future.

  Regardless of the past, what was important was the present and the future.

  “That’s right. I know about this Mao Nana. She looks good and has a good figure. I heard from my sisters that she is doing well in R City and she probably came to the capital for Qu Xiujie. In this era, very few women are willing to sacrifice their career for an unpredictable love.”


  “How can it be called a sacrifice? I believe in Nana. She came to the capital to look for Xiujie, so she must have made all her plans. Nana is actually quite smart and knows what she should and shouldn’t do.”


  Zhang Manhua was filled with joy at the mention of Mao Nana. This was the personality of the girl she liked. Pei Ge could be seen in Mao Nana.

  She was not as anxious as the girls in that circle to get famous, nor was she arrogant. She was approachable, like a quietly blooming camellia.

  “That’s right. As long as Qu Xiujie finds a good marriage, it’s enough. As elders, we can only wish for these two. As long as they are fine, we are fine.”


  “That’s right. You said that as long as the two of them are fine, we can be more at ease.”


  Zhang Manhua’s eyes curved. Qu Xiujie and Mao Nana had finally gotten together, but she had resolved a huge problem in her heart. She would not feel so sad when these two got together.

  Although she did not leave Qu family on purpose, she still felt very guilty.
