Chapter 1807: Without Him, I Won’t Starve to Death

Pei Ge’s throat could not help but move. She finally understood how Mao Nana felt when she saw the table full of fish that were about to vomit. Even if she was extremely unwilling, she still had to grit her teeth and smile as she ate the fish.

After the family finally finished their dinner, Qu Xiujie pulled Pei Ge aside and broached the topic.

“Ge Ge, let me ask you. Did you already know that that old woman is going to do something to the old man? You didn’t just bring Mao Nana to the hospital for a follow-up today, right? Or are you thinking of how to save that old man?”

Qu Xiujie’s eyes were cold and sharp.

“Uncle, how… how do you know all this?”

A look of surprise flashed past Pei Ge’s eyes and the sleeve that was pulled by Qu Xiujie waved weakly in the air. Looking into Qu Xiujie’s eyes, Pei Ge did not dare to look him in the eye.

“Ge Ge, tell me the truth. Do you want to save that old man?”

“Then, uncle, will you save him?”

Pei Ge sat on the sofa and watched as Qu Xiujie’s hand fell to the ground. Pei Ge’s heart wavered and when she looked at her uncle, she actually felt apologetic.

This feeling was too strong. Looking at Qu Xiujie’s eyes, Pei Ge felt that she had let him down.

“I’m not saving. Why should I save him? I’ve already reminded him many times back then. I even found a fake account from Qu Group, but how did he treat me? It’s fine if he stopped my credit card and chased me out of Qu family, but he didn’t believe me. He even thought that I only wanted to fight with him for the family assets. Who wants the family assets? I’m already an adult. Without him, I won’t starve to death.”

The more Qu Xiujie spoke, the more agitated he became as he looked at his shadow on the floor. The light from the chandelier was very bright and it made Qu Xiujie’s heart turn cold.

When he thought of the last time he was in Qu family and how Old lady Qu had tried to trip him up, Qu Xiujie felt even more upset. This old woman was finally going to reveal her fox tail.

“Why don’t you save Old master Qu? You must save him!”

Zhang Manhua heard the conversation between Pei Ge and Qu Xiujie and quickly walked over. “Xiujie, why don’t you save your father? You clearly knew that he was bewitched by that woman. Since it’s like this, why didn’t you save him?”

A hint of worry appeared in Zhang Manhua’s eyes. She wanted to see if Qu Xiujie still had a place in Old master Qu’s heart but Qu Xiujie’s gaze repulsed her thoughts and there was more hatred in his eyes.

“Why should I save him? If not for him, we wouldn’t have been separated for so many years. Mom wouldn’t have…”

Qu Xiujie choked. Thinking of the mother he saw when he was young and the person he had not seen since then, Qu Xiujie’s heart was filled with hatred. If not for Old master Qu, he might not be living such a miserable life now. If not for Old master Qu, he might already have a new life. All of this was Old master Qu’s fault.

Qu Xiujie was unwilling to save or even tell him.

“Xiujie, you have to believe that these things are already in the past. We are still alive, and that is the best start. If you are unwilling to walk down the same path as before, then none of us can help you. Hatred is useless. Only by being together as a family can we resolve all the pain.”

Zhang Manhua sat beside Qu Xiujie and consoled him carefully, “I know the bitterness in your heart and I know your hatred, but have you ever thought of when revenge will come? We are all family.”

“What family? He is not my family. Ever since you guys left, I don’t have a home anymore. Ever since you guys left, this Qu family became Old lady Qu’s world. I was so young back then, so what am I? Who would listen to me?”

Qu Xiujie fell into the pain of his childhood. Back then, he was the last to fall behind his peers. No matter how hard he tried to keep up with the children around him, there would always be different voices.

After Qu Xiujie pushed a child to the ground, no one dared to disrespect him anymore.

From then on, all he heard was praises. Even if there were any discordant voices, they would be drowned out by the harmonious voices around him. No one understood how Qu Xiujie felt and no one knew what he needed.

Money or kinship.

“You won’t understand that feeling. I’ve never hated someone so deeply. Even when he chased all of you away, I’ve never hated him so deeply.”

Qu Xiujie’s eyes darkened as he looked at Pei Ge, who was beside him, and felt sorrowful.

How could Pei Ge not understand what Qu Xiujie wanted? When she found out that something had happened to her father, she wished she could investigate it herself. After so many years, she still did not know what the surprise her father had said to Zhang Manhua when he interrupted the call was.

Pei Ge did not know and did not find any real leads.

“I only started to hate him after he brought that woman back. For a woman like her, he actually abandoned his wife so heartlessly and didn’t even care about his own flesh and blood. What rights do you think such a person has to be saved by me?”

Qu Xiujie looked up at Zhang Manhua and his eyes were already red.

“I can’t wait for him to die right now!”

Qu Xiujie said seriously and gritted his teeth even harder.

“Xiujie, don’t be like this.”

Zhang Manhua’s voice was soft as she looked at Qu Xiujie with even more heartache. “Xiujie, actually, in your heart, you have already forgiven him. When you asked Ge Ge about this, you were already slowly forgiving him. It’s just that you haven’t walked out of the door of your heart, so you still don’t know what you are thinking. But it doesn’t matter. There isn’t that much time. It won’t help you make the best judgment but it can help you create the best opportunity.”

Zhang Manhua continued to console Qu Xiujie and Pei Ge.

If possible, there would not be so many accidents and regrets in this world.
