Ji Ziming looked at Qu Xiujie but could not find any reason or excuse on his face. If Qu Xiujie said that he did not care about Old master Qu, Ji Ziming would not believe it no matter what. That was because Qu Xiujie had already sent Old master Qu to the hospital at the first instance.

  “Ziming, it’s not that I want to nag at you, but why do you want to visit him? He won’t die. There are so many experts in your hospital. Even if he’s poisoned, he’ll recover quickly. No matter how bad his company is now, he should still have the money for treatment.”


  Qu Xiujie did not believe that Old master Qu would be so nervous.

  It was not that he did not tell Old master Qu to be careful of Old lady Qu but Old master Qu did not want to believe it himself. It was not the first time he encountered such a problem.

  “Uncle, I know that you actually care about Old master Qu. There’s no need to explain. I know.”


  Ji Ziming stood up and took a few folders from the table. “Uncle, take a look and see if there’s anything you’re familiar with here.”


  Ji Ziming placed the information in front of Qu Xiujie and continued, “Uncle, look through it.”


  “Okay.”


  Qu Xiujie took the documents from Ji Ziming’s hands and flipped through a few pages. He realized that they were all big projects of the Qu Group and they were all reputable families in the capital.

  “Where did you get this?”


  Qu Xiujie asked as he looked at each photo seriously. Just as he was about to discuss it with Ji Ziming, Pei Ge walked down the stairs.

  “What are you guys talking about?”


  Not far away, Pei Ge saw the two of them whispering to each other and continued asking, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to tell me?”


  “It’s not that we don’t want to let you hear it. You really cannot afford to hear this.”


  Qu Xiujie leaned on the sofa and smiled. As he watched Pei Ge walk over, he poured himself another cup of hot tea from the table. “This tea is really magical. It actually gives you two feelings. It’s really amazing.”


  “What tea leaves is that?”


  Pei Ge walked to Qu Xiujie and continued, “Uncle, are you guys discussing tea leaves?”


  “This is Ziming’s new tea. Come and try it.”


  Qu Xiujie picked up another cup and poured another cup before continuing, “This tea is definitely more special than the tea leaves you’ve drunk before. I seem to have drunk it somewhere but I just can’t remember where. Don’t you think it’s weird?”


  “You often head out. Maybe you really drank it somewhere.”


  Pei Ge picked up the cup that Qu Xiujie passed her and took a sip.

  “I know this tea.”


  “You know? Where? Why don’t I know?”


  Qu Xiujie frowned at Pei Ge and his voice became more curious.

  “I’m not telling you.”


  Pei Ge raised her brows and looked at Qu Xiujie. “Uncle, since Ziming didn’t tell you, it means that it’s not the time to tell you. You’ll know when the time comes. Don’t be anxious and wait for the right time.”


  Pei Ge drank two mouthfuls of tea and placed it back on the table before sitting opposite Qu Xiujie. “Uncle, sit here for a while. I’ll get something for you to see.”


  “What do you want to show me? Is it this?”


  Qu Xiujie waved the document in his hand. It was blue and he noticed that Pei Ge’s signature was not on the first page.

  “Why did you get this so quickly? Yes, it’s this. That’s right.”


  Pei Ge nodded and looked at the folder in Qu Xiujie’s hand. “Have you seen it? Is it true that the contents are identical to all the current collaborations of the Qu family?”


  “I don’t know much about the Qu family’s business dealings. I can only say that these are the most superficial ones. As for those that are hidden in the dark and cannot be seen, how would we know?”


  Qu Xiujie flipped a few pages and threw them on the coffee table. In his eyes, these things were useless. They were also useless to Old lady Qu. Not only were they useless, but they also wasted time.

  “What if I say that I found out about Old lady Qu’s dark partnership?”


  Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes and looked at Pei Ge, who was sitting beside him, and then at Qu Xiujie. He asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? You don’t believe me?”


  “Why didn’t you let me see it when I found out? I didn’t know about this.”


  She frowned at him, not knowing that such a thing existed.

  “Let’s not talk about this anymore. How’s Old master Qu’s birthday present?”


  “The two mothers have already gone to prepare. You don’t have to worry about this. The most important thing is what we should do during the birthday banquet.”


  Pei Ge explained, not worried about the birthday gift at all.

  “Okay.”


  Ji Ziming nodded. The coldness in his eyes made Pei Ge confused. “You’ve been very tired recently. Go rest. Why are you up so soon?”


  “I woke up after you closed the door, but I didn’t get up immediately, so I slept on the bed for a while. However, I still couldn’t sleep, so I went straight downstairs. I saw you guys in a discussion so I came over to see what you were discussing.”


  “Uncle and I are discussing about visiting Old master Qu but Uncle is unwilling to go.”


  Ji Ziming said softly to Qu Xiujie.

  “Uncle, are you unwilling to go?”


  Pei Ge blinked and her eyes brightened up as she looked at Qu Xiujie.

  “Are you forcing me to visit that old man at the hospital too?”


  “Uncle, you promised mom. If you can’t even do this, I’m afraid I’ll be sad. Also, if my mom is sad, you’ll be sad too. You’ll feel hurt too.”


  Pei Ge’s beautiful eyes shone as she looked at Qu Xiujie.

  “You guys are really……”


  Qu Xiujie was helpless. It seemed like he had to go this time.

  “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go, I’ll go, okay? Don’t force me anymore. When I leave your house later, I’ll go to the hospital to visit him.”


  Qu Xiujie agreed but regretted it soon after.

  At this moment, Old lady Qu was probably guarding Old master Qu in the hospital. Once Qu Xiujie left, he would probably meet Old lady Qu face to face.

  “Okay, that’s what you said. I believe you can do it.”


  Pei Ge nodded and looked at Qu Xiujie. “Uncle, I believe you but Ziming will go to the hospital with you so don’t worry.”


  “How can I not worry?”
