Chapter 1836: The Most Important Thing Is To Stay Alive

Ji Ziming’s voice was cold and he exuded a chilly aura. Old master Qu, who was lying on the hospital bed, did not dare to say anything else. He only looked at Ji Ziming quietly and said in a heavy voice, “Mr Ji, if you say this, won’t I be seeing Hades soon?”

“If you want to see him, you can see him in the next second.”

The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled up as he looked at the medical equipment beside him with an even colder gaze.

“What are you going to do?”

Old master Qu saw Ji Ziming’s eyes looking at the medical equipment. The coldness in his eyes seemed to be able to pierce through all the fear and he could not help but be shocked. Ji Ziming, who was standing before him, was someone whom everyone in the capital respected.

“Forget about offending him, the capital and the hospital were Ji Ziming’s territory. Who would not dare to say more?” Old master Qu thought to himself.

A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. His life was the most important.

“Mr Ji, I will consider what you want to tell me.”

Old master Qu’s voice became gentler. “You said that my wife has ulterior motives and that my illness was caused by her, right?”

“That’s right. Furthermore, I’ve already started to attack you a long time ago.”

Ji Ziming stood up straight and said clearly, “Old master Qu, your birthday banquet is in a few days. I will give you a big present that is worth looking forward to.”

Qu Xiujie stood beside Ji Ziming and merely looked at Old master Qu who was lying on the bed without saying anything.

From the looks of it, one would never be able to escape retribution in one’s life. It was just that it was not time yet.

Ji Ziming merely said a few words but Old master Qu looked at Qu Xiujie who was beside Ji Ziming.

“You brat, you are going to follow Mr Ji and not going home?”

“Isn’t it up to you to decide whether I want to go home or not? Didn’t you chase me out? How can you still say that I don’t want to go home now? Don’t think that just because you’re lying on this hospital bed that I have to accommodate you. You’ve been here for so many years. You should have gone to the hospital to check if you were the one who caused this illness or if that woman had the chance to drug you.”

Qu Xiujie sounded indignant as he looked at Old master Qu with hatred.

That day, when that woman came to his house, everything changed.

He was no longer a child in a happy family. After so many years, everything that should have changed and everything that should not have changed, had all already changed silently and unexpectedly.

“You brat, are you cursing me to die now?”

Old master Qu’s eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Qu Xiujie’s face and continued, “Could it be that I’m not letting you go home? Could it be that I forced you to wander outside and that I forced you to stay in Mr Ji’s house?”

“Old man, it seems like your condition is very good now. You even have the ability to bicker with me. It seems like that woman was really too gentle with you.”

Qu Xiujie snorted and looked at this old man who had been domineering in his life for so many years.

“Since you want me dead so badly, why did you save me? I’ve known you since you were young. I’m afraid that you have long wanted me dead.”

Old master Qu merely lay on the hospital bed and his aura became more stern. Although he was still coughing, it could not hide the fact that he was a strict father.

“That’s right. I’ve long been wondering the heavens haven’t called for you. Only then would the Qu family return to the start of my life. It’s also because of this that I want you to leave this world quickly. However, you are a tough old man who doesn’t die.”

Qu Xiujie’s eyes were cold and there seemed to be a coldness in his eyes.

Ji Ziming stood beside Qu Xiujie and looked at the father and son. One of them really wanted to save the other and the other really wanted the other to return to their home, but they were in such a state.

Even those who were sick had to last until they won.

Those who were in a good mental state had to think of ways to prove themselves in front of the patient.

Little did they know that in the eyes of others, they had already revealed the most important side of their hearts.

“Mr. Qu, don’t pester Old master Qu on this issue anymore. I think he really hopes that you can return to Qu family. After all, your surname is Qu and not Ji.”

Ji Ziming narrowed his deep eyes and looked at Old master Qu who was lying on the bed before looking at Qu Xiujie. His voice was gentle as he continued, “Mr. Qu, don’t forget the important thing you came to talk to Old master Qu about today. We did not come for a fight.”

Qu Xiujie looked at Ji Ziming and patted the back of his head before sighing. “It’s all this old man’s fault for provoking me. I almost forgot why Mr Ji and I came to look for you today. Let me tell you, it’s not impossible for an old man like you to live a short life.”

“You rascal, how much do you hate me!”

Old master Qu coughed and it was much better than before he fainted.

“I’m not trying to agitate you. I’m telling you the truth. If you listen to me and do it, I’ll tell you what that old woman wants to do to you.”

Qu Xiujie looked at Old master Qu nonchalantly and continued, “Also, I really hate you and wish you could die right now. However, I know that you can’t die now. You haven’t seen the gift I prepared for you. It would be a pity if you don’t see it.”

Qu Xiujie’s eyes shone with confidence. He knew how much this old man was looking forward to seeing Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua.

Ever since Qu Xiujie saw the crystal tiger on Old master Qu’s desk, he understood that deep in Old master Qu’s confidence, he yearned for the warmth of this family even though Old lady Qu was very attentive and nice to him.

However, Qu Xiujie knew that deep in Old master Qu’s heart, he was still thinking about his mother.

However, it was also because of this that Qu Xiujie saw Old master Qu become even more frustrated and disgusted.

Since a man already had a woman by his side, why would he need to look for another woman? Furthermore, he had married another woman and was still thinking about the previous one.

Qu Xiujie did not understand how important a position the two women held in Old master Qu’s heart.
