Chapter 1939: Either Her Or Me

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Old master Qu was in pain. He did not want to believe that his son had not forgiven him after so many years and even his attitude towards Old lady Qu had never changed. Was all of this because of his ill-fated relationship with Qu Xiujie or because he was destined to be unhappy with Old lady Qu in his family?

“You unfilial son. You want to break off our ties but I won’t let you have your way. Do you think you’ll have nothing to do with me in the future? No, I’ll tell you. From now on, you can forget about taking a single cent from me. All these years, I’ve let you squander as you wish. Whatever you do outside, I won’t care about you. Now that I’ve taken back all your funds, I don’t believe that you, this unfilial son, will still break off our ties!”

​ 

Qu Xiujie wanted to leave but Old master Qu did not want him to.

“Alright, you old man. Do you think that by cutting off my funds, you can trap me? Let me tell you. It’s either her or me in the family!”

Qu Xiujie threw his suit jacket on the ground angrily. He used his actions to prove to Old master Qu that he was not as weak as Old master Qu perceived and he was no longer the helpless child who watched his mother leave.

“Fine, you’re rebelling! I want to see where you can go for help. Without your family to clean up the mess, I want to see if you’re still Young Master Qu or a worthless prodigal son!”

Old master Qu was a man of his words as he tugged at Old lady Qu’s hand. “Call the finance department and stop all of this bastard’s bank cards and money. I want to see how long he can continue being unreasonable.”

“Master, this is bad. Xiujie hasn’t learned any skills for so many years. If you suddenly cut off his source, how will he live in the future?”

Although Old lady Qu looked gentle, she was actually secretly delighted. As long as she cut off Qu Xiujie’s source, she wanted to see what other abilities he had.

Who would be willing to listen to a young master whose family had cut off all contact with money if he had no money?

“What’s so bad about it? He doesn’t even care about it himself. Why do you care about him? He’s already insulted you like this, yet you’re still speaking up for him so kindly!”

Old master Qu was furious. He just wanted to cut off all financial ties with Qu Xiujie in Qu family. As long as Qu Xiujie was willing to beg for forgiveness, how could he not acknowledge his son?

“What nonsense are you spouting! If the old man wants you to break it off, just break it off. Do you think I’ll forgive you for being hypocritical? Do you think your little tricks can hide from this old man and me?”

Qu Xiujie was really angry. He no longer cared about what Old lady Qu was scheming in her heart. Seeing how she treated him well, he really felt that it was not worth it. Back then, when he first got to know Old lady Qu, he was still happy that she was a good auntie.

But the good auntie actually stayed at his house and took his mother’s place. How could he believe that she was a good auntie?

“Xiujie, it doesn’t matter how you scold me. Don’t mess things up with your father. Your father’s health isn’t good. If you anger him, who can bear the responsibility? Besides, we can settle the matter between you and me in the future. But now, your father wants to cut off all your funds. Can’t you give in and talk to your father nicely?”

Old lady Qu seemed to be trying her best to plead for Qu Xiujie but she knew that her words would only make Qu Xiujie and Old master Qu’s relationship even more tense.

That was because Old lady Qu knew that Qu Xiujie would never beg Old master Qu for mercy. She understood his temperament and knew where his weakness was.

“Why are you so long-winded? If the old man wants you to make the call, just make the call. Didn’t we become like this because of you?”

Qu Xiujie became agitated and glared at Old lady Qu even more furiously. The mockery in his tone was obvious.

“Xiujie, I…”

Old lady Qu was pulled behind her before she could speak.

“Do you think it’s kind of you to speak to your aunt like that?”

“Kind? Aunt? Is she the cleaning aunt or the cook? I remember that Auntie Zhao’s cooking skills are top-notch. I wonder how good this aunt’s cooking is. Oh, I remember now. Isn’t she the one who cleaned and cooked for you back then?”

Qu Xiujie did not hide anything and told her everything about how Old lady Qu rose to power back then.

Old lady Qu’s face was red with anger. She did not expect Qu Xiujie to be so heartless. He even mocked her for her ugly past and was clearly provoking her.

However, Old lady Qu did not lack this kind of provocation. As long as Qu Xiujie was willing, she could make ten or even a hundred Qu Xiujie disappear on the same day. Of course, this was all thanks to that trusted aide who was willing to do anything for her.

“You!”

Old master Qu was even more exasperated. This unfilial son even started saying such words.

Initially, he still felt a tinge of guilt towards that woman and his daughter. However, when he saw Qu Xiujie, the guilt disappeared and was replaced with happiness. He was happy about their decision to leave back then and was happy that he married Old lady Qu and the woman standing beside him.

“Scram! Scram right now!”

Old master Qu did not intend to cut off their ties. He did not want everyone in the capital to know about this. Everyone knew that there was an unruly young master Qu in the Qu family and he even broke off his ties with Old master Qu.

No matter what, it was impossible for such a bad rumor to happen and Old master Qu could not become a laughing stock in the capital. He, Qu Hanlin, could not afford to lose his face, his person, and his courage.

“Alright, I’ll scram!”

Qu Xiujie picked up the suit jacket on the ground and threw it back on the ground angrily. Thinking about how he had to live in this place for the past few decades, he started to feel disgusted and troubled.

The moment Qu Xiujie turned around, Qu Xiujie seemed to see the smile on Old lady Qu’s lips. It was because of this smile that he started to conclude that Old lady Qu had something to do with what he had found out.

It was precisely because of this that he had to leave Qu family urgently and leave Old lady Qu’s sight even though he might meet problems if he left Qu family.
