Chapter 1748: I will Not Disappoint You

“Why? Do you not want my help?”

Pei Ge’s voice was cold as she looked at Qu Jingwan, who was standing before her. Her face was cold and the chilliness in her eyes seeped into her bones.

“N-No.”

Qu Jingwan raised her head and met Pei Ge’s eyes, but fear rose from the bottom of her heart. She even stuttered as she looked at Pei Ge timidly and continued, “Pei Ge, help me this time. I won’t let you help me for nothing.”

“Alright, then show me your sincerity. I want to see how much you can do for me by your grandmother, Old lady Qu’s side.”

Pei Ge’s eyes turned cold as she looked at Qu Jingwan with hatred.

“Okay, I won’t let you down. Don’t worry; I can definitely do it.”

Qu Jingwan was very calm as though she was telling Pei Ge about her life and death. At this moment, she wanted Pei Ge to know that she was irreplaceable.

“Okay, then I’ll wait for your news.”

Pei Ge nodded and looked at the door before looking at Qu Jingwan. Her voice was cold and had a hint of a smile. “Miss Qu, since we have come to an agreement, do you have anything else?”

“No more. As long as you agree to help me, I can sacrifice anything except marrying someone I don’t love.”

Her eyes were filled with love as she thought of the person she loved. Her heart turned cold. What kind of person would pull her back the more she wanted to give up? As long as she was still here, Qu Qingyu would always be in her heart.

She could not erase him, nor could she find someone else to replace him.

Even so, she did not want to give up on him. Everything she had done was for him. As long as he was willing to turn around and look at her, she would be filled with joy and all her unhappiness would quickly disappear.

Just how magical was love that a person could live so humbly by his side?

Pei Ge was not concerned about Qu Jingwan’s love life. She was only concerned about whether her plan was proceeding accordingly. As long as it was something Qu Jingwan wanted and she could afford it, she would not be stingy. However, if Qu Jingwan did not give her a satisfactory answer, Pei Ge would have ways to deal with her.

“Alright, I’ll help you. At least, you won’t be so embarrassed in the Qu family. I’ll also think of ways to help you suppress those rumors and news. I’ll also help you with the Qu family’s near bankruptcy. You must think carefully about who you’re working for in the Qu family and who you’re living for from now on.”

Pei Ge stood up from the sofa and looked into Qu Jingwan’s eyes.

Qu Jingwan merely raised her head to look into Pei Ge’s eyes and felt fear and darkness all around her.

It was precisely because of this that Qu Jingwan did not know what kind of woman she had offended.

She could have such a vicious pair of eyes.

Qu Jingwan was even a little glad that she did not harm Pei Ge to such an extent back then. If not, she would be in even more misery today and even the Qu family might not let her continue staying.

“I know. Don’t worry.”

Qu Jingwan retracted her tsundere personality and avoided Pei Ge’s eyes. She no longer dared to mention Ji Chi as it hurt Pei Ge.

When she returned to the Qu family, she had already found out from Old lady Qu why Pei Ge, Ji Ziming and Mother Ji brought the three children overseas. Tang Xiaoyu was one of them, and her second motive was not as simple as Pei Ge going to America to find Tang Xiaoyu.

That was because Pei Ge had brought Ji Chi to the doctor.

As for the doctor’s words, Qu Jingwan did not know, but she knew that Mother Ji did not treat her as intimately as before after she had returned from America. No matter how dumb Qu Jingwan was, she knew the reason behind it. However, she also knew that she would not be able to get back the good feelings Mother Ji had for her.

Although she had been ridiculed by Old lady Qu when she returned to Qu family from Ji family, she was fortunate to have Qu Qingyu’s company back then. Thinking about it now, she felt warm inside.

Looking at Qu Jingwan’s indifferent expression, Pei Ge knew that this woman was much smarter than she had imagined.

“Miss Qu, since you don’t have anything else to do, you can go back now. I still have other things to do here, so I won’t keep you here. The door is behind you, so be careful.”

Pei Ge was about to walk out of the conference room when she was stopped by Qu Jingwan. She turned around and saw the latter’s frightened and nervous expression. “Why are you pulling me? Do you want me to keep you for dinner?”

“Pei Ge, could it be that you’re lying to me?”

Qu Jingwan closed her eyes and looked at Pei Ge with eyes full of the look she had back then.

“I’m lying to you? If you suspect me, then don’t come to me for help.”

Pei Ge chuckled as she looked into Qu Jingwan’s eyes. The smile in her eyes deepened.

“How could you change your motive so easily? Don’t you want to topple our Qu family? Don’t you want to know how your father died back then? Don’t you even want to know how little Ji Chi can recover?”

Qu Jingwan did not believe it. She had already cheered herself before coming to the Ji family’s villa, but thinking about it now, she could not understand why Pei Ge would help her and what condition she had for her to continue listening to her.

How scary was this woman?

“I want to know everything you’ve said and this is the purpose of me striking a deal with you. If you’re still unwilling to believe me, then I can’t say anything else. You can choose the person you believe. I’m going upstairs to rest.”

Pei Ge flung Qu Jingwan’s arm away and watched her dispirited expression. When Pei Ge was about to reach the door, Qu Jingwan shouted, “Pei Ge, I believe you but I need your guarantee.”

“My willingness to make a deal with you is my guarantee. If you don’t believe me, the Ji family’s door is always open and no one here is willing to let you stay.”

Her voice was cold as she watched the scene outside.
