Chapter 1639: Bro, you cannot carry on anymore, can you?

Perhaps, he should just stay in Pei Ge’s office and not leave.

“Why should I lie to you? Go listen to what those girls are saying.”

Qu Xiujie would definitely be suspicious if he said it like this. He, who had sharp eyes, noticed that the girls who had passed by him were speaking, and even though their words were not very clear, he could still hear Pei Ge’s name.

“Why didn’t I know?”

Although his friend was unwilling to believe it, Murong Cheng clearly heard those people saying that Qu Xiujie was daydreaming if he wanted to look for Pei Ge.

For the price that his friend had paid, he only managed to find out about Pei Ge’s past. He did not manage to find out what had happened to her in those five years or what had happened during her time in America.

That was because when he investigated up to that point, Old Lady Qu happened to cut off all his sources of funds. If it were not for his friend taking him in, he would be like a homeless elderly man right now.

“You don’t believe my words or those passersby’s chatter, so whose words do you believe? Could it be that you want Pei Ge to stand before you and tell you herself what had happened to her?”

Murong Cheng laughed. Qu Xiujie’s suspicious personality was truly inherited from Old Master Qu.

Murong Cheng shook his head and let go of the steering wheel. He pointed at the additional security officers patrolling the office building and teased, “Look at the entrance. When you left earlier, there were only two on each side; now, there are four.”

Qu Xiujie looked, and that was indeed the situation. It seemed that they wanted to stop him from appearing again. He was initially the Mr. Qu envied by many, but now, he had become hated by everyone in Pei Ge’s office.

“They—”

“They are there to stop you.”

His friend interrupted him right away and simply stated that he should not appear here and bother the woman further.

“What should I do then? The office only has a main entrance, and I can’t even go via the back door.”

“Aren’t you looking for Ji Ziming?”

Murong Cheng reminded him. Seeing that his friend was relentless in waiting for Pei Ge, even though he was kicked out, he could not help but laugh. “You, weren’t you boasting earlier? Now, you’re embarrassed.”

“It isn’t that; plus, since I said that I can find Ji Ziming, I definitely can.”

That was because he and Ji Ziming had the same aim, and Old Lady Qu was their common foe. Even Pei Ge was the person that they wanted to protect. Qu Xiujie had 120% chance of getting the man’s support because of that. On the other hand, he had no confidence in getting the woman’s.

“I say, you’d better not cooperate with my CEO. Go look for your other brothers; they will definitely be able to deal with that old lady in your family. Even if she is someone wealthy, she can’t win against you since she’s incapable of winning hearts, so don’t worry.”

Murong Cheng was not afraid for Qu Xiujie because he knew that the latter could always find ways to secure advantages. As long as he was able to do it, his painful time in Qu family mansion would come to an end.

“No, to deal with a woman, especially someone as vicious as her, who could send her granddaughter into Ji Ziming’s home, what else can she not do.”

Qu Xiujie understood Old Lady Qu’s ruthlessness well. Even though he did not fight it out with her head on, it would not be difficult for him to know how she was like from the people she arranged at his side.

“Why do you think that elderly woman is so evil when she lacks neither money nor man?”

Murong Cheng was puzzled on what was worth it for her to deal with Qu Xiujie personally.

“For a secret—a monstrous lie.”

Qu Xiujie walked to his car and opened the door. The moment he sat inside, his friend complained, “Why did you enter? I’m going to another hotel to deliver a contract.”

“Anyways, you’re out. Do you think I have no idea that you’ve delivered the contract that you’re talking about? You’re purposely waiting here for my good show. Since you’re here anyways, drive me to the Ji family’s mansion. That man should still be home.”

He was very certain as if he had an agreement with Ji Ziming.

However, the outcome disappointed him once again.

Auntie Zhang stood at the entrance and would not let him in; the reason was that her bosses were not home. Just as he moved three steps forward, planning to force his way in and wait for the man in the living room, several men appeared and looked foully at him.

It appeared that, if he took another step further, he would be executed on the spot. Qu Xiujie had no choice but to retreat before yelling at Auntie Zhang. “Then, can you tell me where Ji Ziming is now?”

“How can servants like us know about the CEO’s itinerary? Why don’t you go look for him in the Ji Group?”

Auntie Zhang offered a place, not knowing that he had just come from there.

“It can’t be, old auntie.”

He was tired to the point of crying. Why was finding someone so difficult that, even when he went to the person’s house, he could not get any useful information about him?

“Really, you have to trust me that Young Master and Madam aren’t home today. If they were, I’d let you in, but they weren’t so I couldn’t do that.”

She spoke earnestly, and Qu Xiujie, who wanted to barge in still, heard it.

“Alright. Since they aren’t around. I’ll wait for him below his office. I don’t believe that he won’t appear.”

Qu Xiujie had no other choice but to leave the Ji family’s mansion in Murong Cheng’s car. He could not help but shiver at the thought of going to the Ji Group.

“I say, bro, you can’t carry on anymore, can you? You don’t even have the confidence to find the couple there, and you’re telling me that you want to get them to your side.”

His friend, who was driving the car, laughed, but upon seeing the disappointment on his face, the former no longer found it funny. He had not seen him looking so despondent before.
