Pei Ge was about to say something when her phone rang. It was Zhang Manhua.
“Mom, what’s wrong?”
Pei Ge was confused and thought that something had happened in the house.
“Nothing much. I’m just telling you to bring the three children back for me to see when you have time. I miss the children.”
Mother Ji continued in a gentle voice, “Ge Ge, your uncle said that he wants to visit the children.”
“Does Uncle want to see the children or my mother-in-law?”
Pei Ge’s lips curled up as she listened to Zhang Manhua speak. “If uncle wants to come back, then come back. We are all at home. Mom, come over as well. My mother-in-law is also at home.”
“Okay, I’ll talk to your uncle.”
Zhang Manhua smiled and said to Qu Xiujie, “Did you hear that? Ge Ge wants you to go back.”
“I’m not going back. Sis, why do you keep chasing me back?”
Qu Xiujie was very awkward as he looked at Zhang Manhua with a cold gaze. “Sister, you don’t know but Ge Ge’s mother-in-law is like a tigress. When I’m with her, we are always quarreling and we can’t even chat or talk.”
“It’s all because you’re making things difficult for her. In my opinion, Madam Ji is a good person. If you weren’t making things difficult for her, she wouldn’t treat you like this.”
Zhang Manhua felt indignant for Mother Ji.
“Sis, why are you siding outsiders? I’m your biological brother.”
Qu Xiujie rolled his eyes. What kind of world was this? His closest family member was speaking for someone he did not get along with while he still had to pretend to listen.
“So what if you’re my biological brother? I’ll still say it even if you did something wrong. Tell me if it’s your fault or not. You’re a grown man, so don’t be calculative with Madam Ji. We’ll go to the Ji family tomorrow and you can apologize to Madam Ji properly. Won’t everything be resolved then?”
Zhang Manhua smiled. Her younger brother was always so annoying.
“Sis, I’m not going.”
Qu Xiujie looked at Zhang Manhua and rejected her like a child. “I don’t want to see her. I don’t want to see that old woman. She is just a rich lady. What is there for me to apologize for?”
“If you continue like this, what will Madam Ji think of our Ge Ge? How can she continue staying in the Ji family?”
Seeing that persuading Qu Xiujie to apologize to Mother Ji would not work, Zhang Manhua brought Pei Ge out. As long as she could persuade Qu Xiujie to apologize to Mother Ji, she would give any reason.
“You only know how to threaten me with Ge Ge. Do you think I’ll fall for it? Do you think I’ll really apologize to Madam Ji?”
Qu Xiujie raised his head and met Zhang Manhua’s eyes but changed his words in the next second.
“Sis, then let me tell you. This trick of yours is really useful. I’ll listen to you. I’ll listen to you from now on, okay? If you want me to apologize, I’ll apologize. I’ll do whatever you want me to do. Is that okay, Sis?”
Qu Xiujie bowed down to Zhang Manhua not because he really wanted to listen to her but because he did not want her to be disappointed and upset. If he were to really disappoint her, he would really be doing something wrong.
“Okay, you said it. You must listen to me in the future.”
Zhang Manhua smiled and nodded. “If you don’t listen to me in the future, I will…”
“Are you going to hit me?”
Qu Xiujie laughed and looked at Zhang Manhua warmly.
However, when Qu Xiujie really arrived at the Ji family, it was Pei Ge and her family who had just finished their lunch. Pei Ge stood in the courtyard with the three children and watched the osmanthus flowers bloom. The fragrance of the osmanthus flowers permeated the entire courtyard and the courtyard could not contain it, even people far away could smell it.
“Ge Ge, we’re here.”
Zhang Manhua and Qu Xiujie, who were walking at the door, were followed by Butler Charlie. The three of them stood at the entrance and looked at Pei Ge and the three children.
“Mom, you guys are here.”
Pei Ge turned around and looked at Zhang Manhua and Qu Xiujie. Her lips curled into a smile as the three children ran over when they saw Zhang Manhua and Qu Xiujie.
“Grandma, granduncle.”
Ran Ran was very excited, but in the end, she ran to Butler Charlie’s side and called out cutely, “Uncle Charlie, you’re here too.”
“Mhm.”
Butler Charlie was at a loss of what to do and quickly squatted down to support Ran Ran who was about to fall. His Adam’s apple bobbed. “Ran Ran, slow down. Don’t fall.”
“I won’t fall, because I know you’ll hold on to me, Uncle Charlie.”
Ran Ran’s smile was sweet, and her white teeth flashed in the sunlight as they created ripples in Butler Charlie’s heart. This little girl was indeed so adorable. Why didn’t he know that little girls could be this cute before?
Because she was cute, he had to dote on her.
“Ran Ran, you saw grandma and granduncle here but you’re ignoring us.”
Zhang Manhua smiled at Ran Ran as the latter’s arms hung around Butler Charlie’s neck like a little monkey. She looked at Zhang Manhua and Qu Xiujie with a sweet smile and said in a childish voice, “Grandma, I didn’t. Granduncle, I didn’t forget you two. It’s because Uncle Charlie told me that he would bring me a present when he comes to visit me.”
She was indeed a child.
“Then ask Uncle Charlie what he brought you.”
Zhang Manhua smiled. She had never heard butler Charlie mention anything about bringing gifts for Ran Ran. Even when she went to the mall to choose something for the three children, she did not see him choose anything. Could it be that before Zhang Manhua and Qu Xiujie paid, butler Charlie had already paid for the items?
However, when she thought about it, she did not see him leave her side. As long as she left her room and the house, he would always be by her side.
“You can’t look at the present that I brought you here.”
Charlie smiled. Zhang Manhua, who rarely saw him smile, was a little surprised.
“Then where should we look at it?”
“I don’t have it with me. I’ll show it to you later. How about that?”
“Yay! Uncle Charlie, you’re the best!”
Ran Ran smiled sweetly and excitedly. It was very rare for someone to bring a gift and leave her in suspense, which was why it was so precious.
Just as they entered the Ji family mansion, Charlie took something from the car and placed it in his coat pocket.
