Chapter 1680: We are all family.

No matter how hard one tried to hide their murderous aura, it could still leak. Ji Ziming simply sat there and looked at Sire Nine, who was seated opposite of him, with his deep eyes. In an apathetic and cold voice, he said, “Since you want to visit Ji Miao, go then. We will, of course, not prevent you from doing so.”
“Young Master Ji, that is what you say, but I think you may not agree to letting me go.”
This elderly man confronting Pei Ge this aggressively had truly surprised him.
“It’s not like you need to report to me wherever you want to go.”
His voice was cold as he looked at the elderly man ruthlessly. “I really don’t know how to respond to your words. Although Ji Miao is in prison, I can’t decide who can or can’t see her. What are you trying to imply by saying that?”
“Ziming, don’t talk to Sire Nine this way. We are all not strangers, so don’t talk like that,” pacified Pei Ge.
The air in the meeting room was so tense that it felt as though the temperature were charged with electricity.
At the same time, in the Ji family’s villa, Qu Xiujie was holding Madam Ji’s favorite face mask as he walked toward her openly. He even occasionally talked to her, making the latter unable to interrupt him at all.
“Sigh… Surnamed Qu, this is my family’s house; why aren’t you afraid of me chasing you out?”
The other was amused and vexed as she regarded this man, who was sitting on the living room sofa and counting his face masks. She gave him a side-eye and asked, “Since you seem to like these, shall I give you a few more pieces?”
“No need; no need. I like them, alright. I really didn’t know that face masks rich madams like you use will be this good. It’s only been a night, and my wrinkles have become much lighter. It feels like I’ve become ten years younger. I must say that this is really good stuff. Madam Ji, where did you buy this mask? Tell me and I’ll go buy some myself.”
“If you like using such, I have more in my room. Shall I get a few more for you?”
She sat down on the sofa opposite of the man and looked into his eyes.
“You are truly generous. I just mentioned it casually, and you are already this ardent. Then I can’t possibly pass this up, but what I wanna talk to you about isn’t these face masks.”
He took off the mask on his face. His eyes shone with light as he put on a half-smile. It instantly made him look sharp.
Madam Ji did not think much of it and asked, “Oh? You don’t wanna talk about these face masks?”
“I think you also know that Pei Ge is my niece. Let’s talk about something proper.”
Qu Xiujie’s smile was calm and his eyes were solemn. He seemed to be a separate person from the one who had fought with her over face masks last night. Now, he had a graceful and refined aura around him. It was an aura the last night’s him could not compare.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji’s eyes shone with suspicion. She did not expect for this fella to put out a really problematic condition. It was something that neither she nor Father Ji, who was still overseas, would not expect.
“Are you sure you want to do that?”
She asked that while looking at him. The distrust in her eyes was obvious.
“I’m certain. That’s the reason I left the Qu family, or else why would you think I came to your family? By sheer coincidence, I found out that Pei Ge is my niece. Do you think all of that is fake? I am truly her uncle. Your doubt in this doesn’t mean that we aren’t related by blood. Now, I only want to know when her mother will return from overseas. This is all I want to know.”
Qu Xiujie leaned back on the sofa and casually threw the limited-edition face mask worth twenty thousand into the bin from a distance. His actions were so precise that Madam Ji was slightly stunned.
“You want to meet my daughter-in-law’s mother?”
She confirmed again.
“Yes. Her mother is the person I want to meet the most right now. I investigated her activities overseas and learned that she is now engaged with a duke and seems to be doing well. That is fine. As long as she and my niece are doing well, my wish is considered as fulfilled.”
Qu Xiujie’s greatest wish was to find his sister, which his mother had brought away, many years ago before his death. He would be happy knowing that they were safe and happy.
He did not need to care about anything else after knowing that the people he loved were doing well.
“You even know about this; looks like you know quite a few things.”
Madam Ji said this in a clear voice. There was more distrust in her eyes now.
She got this feeling that he had a motive for entering their family. She still had not come to terms with the fact that he was Pei Ge’s uncle, and all of these seemed to be irreversible.
“Of course, I know. I also know that you and Jingwan were initially close. What happened? Do you think my Ge Ge is better now?”
After concluding his serious business, Qu Xiujie reverted to his past behavior and watched as a look of surprise flashed across the other’s eyes.
“What good or bad? As long as my son likes the person, I will like them just as he does. Don’t you think that this is good?”
She picked up the coffee on the table and gracefully sipped it before saying leisurely, “Mr. Qu, don’t you think that you are too concerned about my family matters?”
“Oh? Is that so? I am concerned?”
Light spun in the man’s eyes as he looked at her gently. “Madam Ji, we are still considered as family. Even if my niece is not your son’s wife yet, at least, your son might end up becoming her husband. You and I, therefore, we are still family.”
He analyzed the issue reasonably, making the older woman speechless. She could only tighten her hold on the cup.
“You’re truly knowledgeable, but I think you should take care of yourself first. You don’t need to trouble yourself with our family matters. There is me and my son here. Since you are only here temporarily, just properly stay here and don’t meddle too much into other things.”
She put the cup down on the coffee table and looked at the man seriously. “When you are done staying in our house, you can turn left after exiting. I won’t be sending you off. Otherwise, I can also get a driver to send you back to the Qu family. As for the trifling matters and grudges in your family, as an outsider, I’m uninterested in them, nor am I willing to know about them.”
Madam Ji’s eyes dimmed, unwilling to speak on this matter anymore.
