Mother Ji looked at Qu Xiujie. Her voice was cold and carried the unique aura of a madam. Her gaze made Qu Xiujie think that he had done something wrong.
“Old thing, why haven’t I seen you save a damsel in distress before?”
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Qu Xiujie’s forehead. He knew that nothing good would come out of Mother Ji’s mouth. Even if she was praising him, he could feel the strong sarcasm.
“Do I have to report to you what I did?”
Qu Xiujie puffed out his chest and raised his head. From the looks of the people around him, he could tell that he was very impressed by Mao Nana’s action. There were even people who raised their phones to take pictures of him.
The two of them fell to the ground and Mao Nana took a photo of the thief from the front. Before the security guards could rush out, Qu Xiujie had already subdued the thief.
“You’re famous now. In this R City, your name will soon spread throughout all the big and small places.”
Mother Ji raised her eyes and did not expose Qu Xiujie’s smug look. Instead, she brought the three children to a shop at the side. It was the Chanel women’s clothing store. Qu Xiujie could neither stand at the door nor follow them in.
Mao Nana’s gaze followed Qu Xiujie closely and when she saw him walking toward Mother Ji, she was slightly disappointed. However, seeing that only Qu Xiujie was standing at the door, she felt that her chance had come again.
“Uncle, are you free now? If you don’t like coffee, how about I treat you to tea?”
While the people around her were slowly disappearing, Mao Nana hurried forward and asked if Qu Xiujie was willing to have a good meal with her. However, what she received was a slight disgust in Qu Xiujie’s eyes.
“Must you treat me to coffee and tea?”
Qu Xiujie heard Mao Nana’s voice behind him and turned around with a look of disdain.
He just wanted to prevent this long-legged beauty from being defiled by that thief, but he didn’t expect this long-legged beauty to have nothing but her legs.
“Then I won’t drink coffee or tea. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Mao Nana’s eyes were filled with sorrow. She had not really found someone to treat her like this, yet the person she liked did not have the slightest interest in visiting her.
“Can I refuse?”
Qu Xiujie looked arrogant. This long-legged beauty must be a fool.
However, after Qu Xiujie paid Mao Nana five digits for her meal, Mao Nana indeed became more well-behaved. However, the next day, the meal money returned to her bank account. Just as Mao Nana was surprised and called the number Qu Xiujie left behind, another unfamiliar male voice came through the phone.
Mao Nana realized that she had been deceived. The person who had lied to her had never thought about where they would meet again.
When Qu Xiujie called Pei Ge at night, he told her that Mao Nana was a beauty with breasts but no brains. He also accused Mother Ji of abandoning him outside the women’s clothing store in order to abandon him. This gave Mao Nana an opportunity.
“But there’s no rule against men entering the women’s clothing store, right?”
Pei Ge packed her clothes in the closet while she put on her earphones to call Qu Xiujie.
Ji Ziming, who was in the bathroom beside her, came out with a towel wrapped around him. Seeing the smile on Pei Ge’s face, his Adam’s apple bobbed and he asked, “Who are you talking to?”
“Uncle.”
Pei Ge shouted and her smile blossomed like a flower. In Ji Ziming’s eyes, it was as though a flower was blooming.
“Sigh. You don’t know how your mother-in-law looks at me like I’m her enemy. Ge Ge, tell me, how did I offend her? Or are you women all so troublesome? I think I’m more suited to be with Ziming.”
Qu Xiujie sat on the sofa in his room and looked at the scene before him. Before he could hear what Pei Ge said, he could already hear Ji Ziming’s voice.
“Uncle, how can we two men stay together? I can only stay with Ge Ge. After we settle Old lady Qu’s matter, you can return to Qu family.”
He pulled out her earphones and turned on the speaker.
“I don’t want to live with you. If you go to our Ge Ge, you have to treat her well. If you dare bully her, I won’t let you off.”
Qu Xiujie once again revealed his precious Pei Ge’s attitude to Ji Ziming. On the other end of the phone, Ji Ziming merely smiled and pulled Pei Ge into his embrace.
“Uncle, don’t worry. Your treasure is the most priceless jewel in my hands. No matter who it is, they won’t snatch her away from me. Don’t worry.”
Ji Ziming held his phone and looked at Pei Ge.
Pei Ge’s face turned slightly pink. Although she had lived with Ji Ziming for some time, she had yet to hear him talk about her worth. Just thinking about it made her recall that she had heard such an answer before.
It was just that she was unconscious at that time. She did not know that the person beside her treasured her so much.
A priceless treasure. That was probably it.
“That’s good. I won’t talk to you guys anymore. I’m going to look for the three children to play. They haven’t cried or begged for daddy and mommy after following us for a day, especially Ran Ran. This little girl is smart. I like her. She’s as smart as me.”
There was a hint of pride in Qu Xiujie’s voice and through the microphone, one could hear the joy in his eyes.
“Alright, thank you for your hard work, uncle. We’ll leave the three children to you. Ran Ran’s health isn’t too good yet, so you must be careful not to get agitated. An An and Ji Chi are fine, but you…”
“I know, I know. Don’t worry, I’m leaving.”
Qu Xiujie hung up the phone impatiently. It was not because the three children were walking around but because he saw Mother Ji walking down from the living room. If Mother Ji knew that he was talking to Pei Ge and Ji Ziming again, his hard-earned image would crumble again.
Luckily, Mother Ji did not see any surprise on Qu Xiujie’s face. She merely walked to Ji Ziming’s side and took her gift box from the Chanel store in the afternoon.
