Chapter 1938: You Kept Me Waiting

“If I drink, my body will warm up. But what about my heart? How much alcohol do I have to drink to warm it up?”

Old master Qu’s eyes dimmed and his gaze became numb and empty.

​ 

Ever since Old lady Qu was exposed, this house seemed to have become a gathering place for lies. The liveliness surrounding Old master Qu, even if it was fake, had disappeared. Old master Qu seemed to be able to enjoy it. However, once something fake was exposed, it would forever be fixed on the fact that it was fake.

“Master, why don’t I help you find Miss Qu and Young Master Qu? After all, they are your children and have to do something for our Qu family’s business. Otherwise, all these years…”

“There’s no need to look for them. They’ve already grown up and have their own family. As an old man, I’m someone who’s about to die, how can I look for them again?”

Old master Qu’s voice was filled with sorrow as though he was saying his dying words. It had been such a long time and everyone in the capital knew about Zhang Manhua and that earl.

Everyone in the capital knew that the Qu family’s Old lady Qu’s schemes had been exposed by Pei Ge and many people were calling her a vicious old woman. They did not know that Old master Qu had become a victim too. How could Old master Qu not know of this woman’s viciousness? After living together for so many years, he thought that he had already gotten rid of all the hatred in her heart, but he did not know that this woman’s heart was harder than iron. Those painful memories became a needle in her heart and forever pierced Old lady Qu’s heart. Now, this needle also pierced Old master Qu’s heart and his hair turned white overnight.

“Master, do you really not want it?”

“No, I should be the only one suffering this kind of loneliness. Anyway, it’s fine as long as I get used to it. What’s there to be in pain about? Madam has caused so much pain for Ge Ge and her family, so I should bear some of it.”

“But Master, this has nothing to do with you. For such a long time, Madam has never reported to you what she wanted to do. Why are you doing this? It’s all Madam’s fault. What does it have to do with you? This is simply unfair to you.”

The butler was indignant but no matter what, Old master Qu’s heart was already destined to give him an image to atone for Old lady Qu’s sins. The abnormally cold house was just his doing.

All these years, it was not that he did not know what Old lady Qu had done outside. It was also not that he really indulged her and always thought that his friendly treatment could make her repent. However, the truth proved that she did not suffer any hatred because of this.

On the contrary, after experiencing Old lady Qu’s calamity, the Qu family seemed to have collapsed and the Ji family seemed to have become even more victorious.

But so what? There was no such thing as fairness in this world.

Old lady Qu gulped down the red wine in her wine glass. Her voice sounded aged and her cloudy eyes seemed to be shining. “Butler, find a time to ask Ge Ge and Manhua if they are willing to come to my Qu family for a meal. If they are willing to come, tell me. If they are unwilling to come…”

“How then, old master?”

The butler held his hands and stood at the side as he asked Old master Qu softly.

Old master Qu was no longer as energetic as before. It was as though he had lost a trace of strength and was like a tree that was close to death. His life would come to an end one day.

“If they don’t want to come, tell me too. I have done wrong for most of my life. It’s my retribution.”

“Master, you…”

The butler wanted to persuade him but when he saw the hopeless Old master Qu, he did not dare to say anything out of concern.

At this moment, in Qu Qingyu’s house, Qu Jingwan was putting on a show where the real lady was going around catching mistresses. Before she even reached the room, she could already hear the moans of a woman coming from inside. All sorts of sexual sounds gave her goosebumps.

Just by standing at the door, Qu Jingwan could hear a layer of skin peeling off her body.

“Qu Qingyu, you jerk. You actually brought a woman home behind my back. Do you still have me in your eyes? I’ve done so many things for you, yet you actually…”

“Qu Jingwan, are you done?”

The naked Qu Qingyu angrily picked up a thin blanket by his side and wrapped it around his waist. He walked barefoot to Qu Jingwan and his eyes were filled with disgust. “Qu Jingwan, you were the one who wanted to stay in my house. Do you think I don’t know what kind of trash you are? Who knows how many times Ji Ziming had sex with you. Do you think you’re any better? Do you think that you’re so much cleaner than those women in the nightclubs? I’m not interested in you!”

Qu Qingyu’s voice was stern as he looked at Qu Jingwan before him. There was not a hint of regret or heartache. It was as though her appearance at this place was her own fault. However, Qu Qingyu had forgotten that after he lost all his savings, it was Qu Jingwan who stayed by his side and took care of him. He had forgotten all about it.

He forgot what Qu Jingwan did for him, forgot why she chose to listen to Old lady Qu and enter the Ji family’s mansion, and forgot what Qu Jingwan cared so much about.

“Is this how you think of me? Do you know how sad you make me? Do you know how embarrassing it is for me?!”

Qu Jingwan’s voice also became louder. The female model lying on the soft swan bed blinked her amorous eyes and said sweetly, “Master Qu, you’ve made me wait for so long. If this continues, I won’t be able to wait anymore.”

The female model’s voice was seductive. The position where she was lying in revealed her beautiful body.
