Old master Qu looked up and there were scattered spots in the dark sky. The moon hanging in the sky was getting brighter and brighter until he suddenly recalled his younger days. It was a pity that he never saw her or his other daughter after that.

“I remember. Back then, you took a fancy to this magnolia tree and gave it a name. What’s it called…”

Old lady Qu’s voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e and she forgot the name of the tree.

“It’s called Chenxi. meaning the first ray of light in the morning.”

Old lady Qu reminded him with a smile. Looking at Old master Qu, she heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he did not hear her.

“Yes, it’s called Chenxi. What a good name.”

Old lady Qu coughed lightly. It was autumn and the reason for his cough was due to the heavy rain back then. He had not recovered after so many years and would probably not recover in the future.

“Master, you’re the one who loves me the most. You’ll give me whatever I want. You’ve always trusted me so much. It’s been so many years. I don’t even know how to repay you.”

Old lady Qu’s tender words reminded Old master Qu of the times he had with Old lady Qu back then, and he felt less guilty towards that woman.

He had not heard from her for so many years. Even if he did, he would not contact her anymore.

Perhaps after so many years, she still hated him.

“You’re still so good at making me happy. I’m so happy that I don’t know what to say to you. What should I do?”

Old master Qu asked with a smile as he held Old lady Qu’s hand gently.

“Master, whether I like you or not depends on your preferences. How can you say that I’m trying to please you? I’m your favorite.”

Compared to acting coquettishly, Old lady Qu did not lose to her past self.

“Okay, okay, okay. Everything you say is fine. It’s cold outside. Hurry and come in. Don’t catch a cold. Otherwise, my heart will ache.”

Old master Qu patted Old lady Qu’s hand. The weather in the autumn was indeed getting colder.

The frost dew in the middle of the night surrounded the two of them like an invisible wind. Old master Qu could not stand the cold air and could only pull Old lady Qu into the house first.

The two of them entered the house but before they could go upstairs, they heard the door being opened with a bang. Qu Xiujie walked in with his suit jacket on his shoulders and his ruffian aura did not change at all.

“Why are you back so late?”

Old master Qu asked but he did not let go of Old lady Qu’s hand. Instead, he tightened his grip as though Old lady Qu would disappear in the next second.

“So what if I come home so late?”

Qu Xiujie glanced at Old lady Qu. Ever since she entered the house back then, he had not opened his eyes to look at her, let alone now that he had found some clues. Although he was not very sure, it was definitely related to Old lady Qu.

“You unfilial son!”

Old master Qu was slightly angered. His face was flushed red as he stood there and coughed heavily. Old lady Qu quickly patted Old master Qu’s back and consoled him softly, “Old master, Xiujie came back late. It’s not the first time you know about it. It would be too heartbreaking if you get angry.”

Qu Xiujie felt disgusted by Old lady Qu’s fake att.i.tude and his words became colder.

“Sad? I don’t think you’ll be sad even if this old man dies!”

Old master Qu coughed even harder when he heard that. He could not even catch his breath as he slapped his thigh and repeated, “You unfilial son, you’ve learned to anger your father to death!”

Old lady Qu saw Old master Qu coughing non-stop and quickly retorted, “Qu Xiujie, since you’re back, why are you provoking old master? Old master’s health is not good now. If you have any grievances, come at me, don’t come at old master!”

“Yeah, I’m coming at you! Can’t you feel it? Do you want me to remind you again?”

Qu Xiujie rolled his eyes at Old lady Qu and the mockery in his tone deepened. “Old lady Qu, please allow me to call you that. Our Qu family has never seen such a shameless person!”

“Pak!”

A crisp slap was heard.

Old master Qu stood in front of Qu Xiujie and when he heard him scolding Old lady Qu, he could no longer control himself. This unfilial son, he wanted to teach him a lesson now. However, his anger seemed to have all dissipated after giving him a slap. He looked at Qu Xiujie who was standing in front of him and stuttered.

“Xiu… Xiujie… I…”

“You hit me because of this woman. You’re so ruthless. Oh, wait, your heart is ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times more ruthless than it is now. Back then, when you chased my mother away, I’m afraid you’re just as ruthless. Aren’t you afraid that this woman beside you will do something shameful behind your back?”

Qu Xiujie roared as his eyes widened. He looked at Old master Qu and Old lady Qu as though he wanted to swallow them up. His tone was filled with mockery and sorrow.

“I really pity you. You’ve been fooled by this woman all your life!”

Old lady Qu’s eyes darkened as though this Qu Xiujie was harder to deal with than she thought.

“You unfilial son, no matter what you did outside, I’ve never said a word about you. Today, you can’t say anything about her in front of me. Also, I believe her. She won’t do anything to let me down behind my back. I’ve known her for so many years. I understand her!”

Old master Qu started shouting as well. In the huge Qu family mansion, the shouts could be heard. Old lady Qu, who was standing beside them, advised Old master Qu not to be too angry as she meticulously planned her other plan.

“Fine, if you want this woman, fine, I’ll break off our father-son relations.h.i.+p!”

Initially, Qu Xiujie was not sure of Old lady Qu’s status in the things that he found out today but he noticed that Old lady Qu seemed to take her betrayal seriously.

Usually, a person’s importance could be easily revealed through his or her expression.

“Sever the ties between father and son, you unfilial son. Why did you think of saying such unfilial words? What kind of bad luck did I have for you to continue living like this in my Qu family? What exactly?”
