Chapter 1626: If there is her, there is no me; if there is me, there is no her.

Old Master Qu felt tormented on the inside because he refused to believe that his son still had not forgiven him after so many years; furthermore, his attitude toward Old Lady Qu had always been the same. Could all this be due to his ill-fate with his son or him and this woman fated not to be welcomed by his family members?

“You evil son, even if you want to sever ties with me, I’ll make it impossible for you to do so. Do you think that nothing will happen to you in the future? No, let me tell you; don’t you ever think of getting a cent from me. I’ve allowed you to squander all the money and never cared about what you do outside. Now, I’m going to take back all your capital. I refuse to believe that you can sever our ties with this.”

Qu Xiujie wanted to leave, but Old Master Qu did not satisfy his wish.

“Very well, old man. Do you think you can trap me by blocking my capital flow? Let me tell you: In this family, if there’s her, there’s no me; if there’s me, there’s no her!”

He angrily threw his suit on the floor. He wanted to use his actions to prove to his father that he was not as vulnerable as what the latter thought of him. He was no longer the child back then who could not do anything when his mother left.

“Very good! You’re revolting now! Let’s see where you can go! Without my family to deal with your problems, I’ll see if you’re still Young Master Qu or a worthless, spendthrift scion!”

The old man was determined to do what he said as he held the hand of his wife. “Go and call the secretary; have all the credit cards of this evil son of mine frozen. I want to see how long he can stay stubborn.”

“This isn’t very good. Xiujie hasn’t learned a skill or two for so long. If you break his capital, how can he survive?”

Although Old Lady Qu appeared gentle on the outside, she was delighted on the inside. As long as Qu Xiujie’s capital was broken, he would be unable to do anything else.

He would be unable to hire men to help him without money. Who would be willing to listen to a young master who had no capital?

“What’s bad about that? He doesn’t even care about it himself. Why should you worry for him? He has insulted you so badly, yet you’re actually speaking for him!”

Old Master Qu was honestly consumed by rage; he just wanted to block all financial flows between his son and his family. If his son was willing to admit his mistakes, how would he disown him?

“What nonsense are you talking about?! If this old man wants you to block them, just do so! Do you think that I’ll forgive you if you put up a pretense? Do you think you can hide your tricks from me if you do so with him?”

Qu Xiujie was red with fury. He could no longer care about what Old Lady Qu was scheming. Seeing her pretending to care for him, he regretted that he even thought she would be a good auntie and was very excited about it.

However, the good auntie had actually stayed in his house and replaced his mother’s position. How could he possibly believe that this was a good auntie?

“Xiejie, it doesn’t matter how you scold me, but can you not have such a fight with your father? His health is failing; if he falls ill from your provocation, who is going to shoulder this responsibility? Plus, we can settle the scores between us next time. With your father wanting to block all your capital flow, can’t you just bend and persuade him?”

Although it appeared that she was desperately trying to plead on his behalf, she knew that the moment she said this, the latter would not plead; instead, the father and son’s relationship would become even tenser.

That was because she knew that he would not plead with her husband based on his character and weakness.

“Why are you nagging? Since this old bloke asked you to call, just call; wasn’t it all your fault why we became like this today?”

Qu Xiujie became even more agitated. He stared wide-eyed at the woman with mocking.

“I…”

Before she could speak, she was pulled to the back by her husband.

“Do you think it’s kind to speak to your auntie in this way?”

“Kind? Auntie? Is she the cleaning or cooking auntie at home? I remember Auntie Zhao’s culinary skills are the best, but I’m not sure how this auntie here fares. Oh, I recall it now; didn’t she clean and cook for you before sleeping with you?”

He did not attempt to conceal how this woman got to where she was today.

Old Lady Qu’s face turned red and pale. She had never expected him to be so heartless to actually use her dirty linen from back then to mock and provoke her.

However, she was not short of such provocation. As long as she wanted to, she could make ten or even a hundred Qu Xiujies disappear in a day. Of course, all this would depend on her close aide who would do everything for her.

“You!”

Old Master Qu was beyond infuriated that his son even said that.

He was initially guilty toward that woman and his daughter, but seeing the current Qu Xiujie, all his guilt vanished. In place of guilt was happiness. The happiness that they left and that he married this lady beside him.

“Get lost! Get lost right now!”

He was not intending to sever his ties with this son because he did not want the whole capital to know that his family had an arrogant and unyielding young master who wanted to cut ties with him in a night.

He would never let such nasty rumors spread because he could not be the laughingstock of the people in the capital. He, Qu Hanlin, could not afford to lose his face, his person, and his courage.

“Sure. I’ll get lost!”

Qu Xiujie picked up the suit and looked at it before slamming it back onto the ground. The thought of having stayed in this place for decades made him feel that his life had been so disgusting and tormenting.

The moment he turned around, he saw the smile on Old Lady Qu’s face in the corner of his eyes. Precisely because of this smile, he was sure that she had something to do with the thing he had found out.

That was why he had to leave this family and her sight urgently, though his safety might be at risk by doing so.
