Chapter 1898: How Could She Bear to Give Up?

Mao Nana was stunned by Old master Qu’s question. She did not expect that there were so many things that Qu Xiujie did not tell her. It was so much that she did not expect this day.

“Miss Mao, please sit down. Perhaps we can have a good chat.”

Old master Qu patted the seat beside him and signaled for Mao Nana to come over. The two of them might be able to have a good chat but Mao Nana knew what it meant if she really sat over. She was not that foolish to walk beside Old master Qu.

In that dark memory, Mao Nana still remembered that Da Liang no longer had any contact with Mao Nana.

“Miss Mao, don’t you feel tired from standing there? Or are you worried that my disappointing son will still be jealous of me? If you really want to be with my son, I’m your father-in-law. I don’t think we need to explain this to him.”

“Old master Qu, I think you should forget about the seat beside you. I’ll just sit here.”

Mao Nana lowered her head and walked to the sofa opposite Old master Qu. There was a trace of fear in her eyes. “Old master Qu, I’m here to talk to you about Qu Xiujie. If you want to tell me about his past, I’m willing to listen too. As long as it’s him, this is what I want. It has nothing to do with your Qu family’s assets and I, Mao Nana, will not choose to get close to Qu Xiujie just because I like your family’s assets.”

Mao Nana’s eyes were resolute as she looked at Old master Qu without retreating. She firmly believed that Qu Xiujie had already judged the two of them in the days he was by her side.

“Miss Mao, I didn’t know that you had the courage to spend the rest of your life with your disappointing son. According to what I know, your career in R City is at its peak. How could you bear to give it up?”

Old master Qu looked at Mao Nana’s legs meaningfully.

This pair of long legs was too exquisite and beautiful. He had lived for more than half of his life but he had never seen such long and slender legs. If it was Old master Qu back then, Mao Nana would not be Qu Xiujie’s woman.

The more beautiful something was, the more Old master Qu wanted to have it for himself.

Back then, Qu Xiujie’s mother was like this and so was Old lady Qu. It was every man’s wish to have a caring and beautiful woman.

“I, Mao Nana, am never someone who decides whether I should do something only because of money. Old master Qu, if you want to look at me like that, I have nothing to say. If you feel that I’m not worthy to be your daughter-in-law, I’m fine with it. I don’t need other people’s affirmation. I just hope that you can give me some respect and give Qu Xiujie a chance to turn over a new leaf.”

Mao Nana sounded very confident as she raised her arm and flipped her long hair. Her butterfly-like eyelashes were even more alluring. Old master Qu, who was sitting opposite her, seemed to have his heartstrings tugged by her. Even though they were still a distance away, Old master Qu seemed to have smelled the clear perfume on Mao Nana.

“Looks like this disappointing son of mine is quite capable. To be able to marry such a good woman, he must have some ability.”

Old master Qu lowered his head and coughed. His gaze on Mao Nana became gentle and benevolent. “Miss Mao, perhaps what my disappointing son did in the past is no longer important to you. I believe that all of you will be fine. I will enter the grave sooner or later. How can I know what will happen to the younger generation?”

“Old master Qu, you mean…”

Mao Nana did not understand and looked at Old master Qu suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.

“My meaning is clear. Don’t you understand?”

Old master Qu scrutinized Mao Nana’s face. Although this iconic face did not have the beauty that could cause the downfall of a country, it had attracted many men. For example, the legendary second brother of R City. Mao Nana left when her career was at its peak because she was ostracized by her second brother.

When Qu Xiujie brought Mao Nana to Qu family, Old master Qu had already asked someone to find out about her background. On one hand, he felt that it was a pity that she was an orphan and on the other hand, he felt that she was the woman his second brother had been longing to capture. He could not help but feel worried for Qu Xiujie.

“Old master Qu, do you mean that you already have the best plans regarding Qu Xiujie? You already have a final regret for the 6% shares that Qu Xiujie wanted, right?”

Mao Nana then understood that no matter how disappointing Qu Xiujie was, he was still Old master Qu’s son. No matter how much Old master Qu wanted to compensate Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua, he had to consider his own feelings as a son. How could he really hand over all the assets to Pei Ge?

“Miss Mao, why don’t we not discuss my son first? Let’s talk about why you chose to leave R City.”

Old master Qu stared at Mao Nana’s eyes like an owl staring at its prey in the dark. In his heart, he already knew the real reason for Mao Nana’s departure from R City. With such a dangerous woman by Qu Xiujie’s side, she was like a ticking time bomb.

“I… I… I have no reason.”

Mao Nana’s voice became timid and she did not dare to look Old master Qu in the eye. The more people who had seen too many accidents, the more their eyes would change. The more they were afraid of the secrets they wanted to hide, the more they could not hide them from such people.

“Miss Mao, why don’t you just tell the truth? My son doesn’t know what happened to you in R City, but I do. But you can rest assured that even if I did, I wouldn’t really tell you anything.”

Old master Qu chanted silently and raised his head to look at Qu Xiujie who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard and speaking to the butler. They were too far away and could not hear each other but Old master Qu could still feel how important Mao Nana was to Qu Xiujie from his face.
