Chapter 1834: You Have No Choice

“You!”

Qu Jingwan was merely being polite, but she did not expect Pei Ge to be so ungrateful and even hit her when she was down.

“What’s wrong? Am I not allowing you to order coffee?”

Pei Ge’s lips curled up as she continued, “Alright, let’s stop fighting. I know that you like the Guixia coffee here. The coffee is for you, I’ll drink water.”

Pei Ge’s lips parted slightly as she looked into Qu Jingwan’s eyes. “Miss Qu, I came to find you today because I have something to tell you.”

“I know. Why else would you look for me? A blind date?”

Having benefited from this, Qu Jingwan’s tone naturally became more obedient. When the waitress brought the coffee over, Qu Jingwan elegantly took the coffee from Pei Ge with an arrogant att.i.tude. “Pei Ge, I know that you’re here for Old master Qu, right?”

“Yes.”

Pei Ge replied straightforwardly, “I don’t want you to pay attention to Old lady Qu anymore. I want you to pay attention to Old master Qu at all times. If he has any abnormalities, just tell me directly.”

“Why are you doing this? What are you trying to do by spying on our Qu family? You’re already Ji Ziming CEO’s wife and you can enjoy endless wealth. Moreover, you still have three adorable children. What else do you want?”

Qu Jingwan frowned, not understanding what Pei Ge was up to. Logically speaking, they were no longer related, so why was Pei Ge unwilling to let go of the Qu family?

“Why should I tell you what I want to do?”

Pei Ge looked at the transparent gla.s.s cup in front of her. Under the sunlight, it actually left traces of light on the smooth wooden table. All the colors were clearly displayed on the table.

“Pei Ge, if you want me to spy on them, I’ll agree to it. Even if I don’t know what you want to do now, I want to know if you have any ulterior motives toward our Qu family. You and Ji Ziming did this on purpose to swallow the Qu family whole, right?”

Qu Jingwan looked at Pei Ge as though she could not hear anything. Just as she was about to stand up and leave, Pei Ge said leisurely, “I’m doing this to let the Qu family have a better future. You’ll soon know why I’m doing this. You don’t have to wait for long. Four days will do.”

Old master Qu’s birthday banquet was in four days.

“Four days? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? Why should I believe whatever that you’ve said? What if it’s four years?”

“You don’t have the right to negotiate with me now.”

Pei Ge raised her head and the sun shone right at the corner of her eyes. A cold beam of light shone in the s.p.a.ce between the two of them, as though it was about to separate them completely. As long as they were separated, it would prove that they were not related at all.

“I sent you a message and you came over. It already shows that you don’t have a choice. You have no choice but to pay the price for everything you promised. You’re a rich missy, so you can’t afford to have your reputation ruined. This is your weakness. How is it, Miss Qu? Am I right? If you think that I am right, please sit down and tell me what to do. Think carefully about what we should do to get along better.”

Pei Ge exposed their relations.h.i.+p and Qu Jingwan’s pride.

“I…”

Qu Jingwan did not know how to explain all of this to Pei Ge.

“How about it? Do you want to consider what I said?”

Pei Ge looked at Qu Jingwan, her beautiful eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a sharp glint.

“What do you want me to do? If you really want me to do something, just say it. If it’s something I can do, I’ll definitely tell you. But if it’s something I can’t do or something I can’t do, you should find someone else as soon as possible. If it’s something I can’t do, I can’t force it either.”

Qu Jingwan’s voice was melancholic as she thought that Pei Ge would not let her commit murder and arson.

“Alright, but the things that I have arranged for you are very simple. You just need to stay by Old master Qu’s side and stay by his side on the day of his birthday banquet. If Old lady Qu brings food or drinks and other items to Old master Qu, you have to be careful and don’t let Old master Qu touch them.”

When Pei Ge said what she wanted Qu Jingwan to do, it was Qu Jingwan’s turn to be dumbstruck.

“Is that what you want me to do?”

Qu Jingwan initially thought that she was going to look for evidence of Old master Qu having an affair in the office.

“Yes, this is it. Can you do it?”

Pei Ge pursed her lips and smiled at Qu Jingwan. “The things I wanted you to do are such simple things, do you think you can do it? If you can’t do it, should I consider other people?”

“No need, no need. I can do it. You just need me to ensure that Old master Qu won’t eat or touch the food sent by Old lady Qu. I can do it.”

Qu Jingwan nodded her head to express her sincerity. Qu Jingwan might not be able to steal some confidential information from the Qu Group, but she could definitely do whatever Pei Ge requested. In Pei Ge’s opinion, that was the only use Qu Jingwan had to her.

“Good. Then we have a deal. Give me your things.”

She pursed her lips into a cold smile.

“I can give it to you, but I hope that after agreeing to this matter, we won’t remain in contact in the future. We are at odds with each other to begin with, but because of this dirty business, we got involved.”

Qu Jingwan mustered her courage. Having been threatened by Pei Ge, she did not want to experience this feeling anymore.

“Okay, I promise. After this is over, I’ll destroy those things. Or I can give them to you.”

She agreed without hesitation.

“Are you serious?”

Qu Jingwan could not believe it. Other people used other people’s weakness to threaten and satisfy their desires, but when it came to Pei Ge, it was so straightforward that it made Qu Jingwan suspicious.

“Won’t you copy it yourself? You will really never threaten me again?”

“If I say I won’t, then I won’t. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the original copy. If you don’t want to believe me, then I have no choice. I think it’s best for you to believe me now.”
