Qu Xiujie sat up and changed his posture. He had been looking in the direction of the kitchen earlier but now, he was sitting upright as he looked at Ji Ziming and Pei Ge. He continued, "Not letting me into the kitchen makes me very nervous. It's been so many years since we last met and I've become bad. I'm afraid your mom will despise me."
"Why would she despise you? We're a family, so we definitely won't despise you. Uncle, don't think too much about it. My mom won't. She's a very good woman."
Pei Ge's words eased the awkwardness and nervousness in Qu Xiujie's heart. She knew that Qu Xiujie's reputation was not good. Before Pei Ge knew that she was part of the Qu family, she was not willing to interact with anyone with the surname Qu, including Qu Xiujie.
However, since she could not decide her birth, there was only so much that she could do.
If you could not change something, then face it. If you could not even face it, then change it.
