645 Dad, return Pei Ge to me. (1/2)
The father-son pair was alike not just in terms of their looks but also in personality.
The two, one standing and the other sitting, emitted cold air.
”Where did you send Pei Ge?”
Ji Ziming pursed his lips tightly and looked at his father sharply.
”Hmph! You're really my good boy, huh. You dare to confront me like this over a woman.” His father snorted darkly.
”… Dad, where is Pei Ge? She's not a bad woman. She's innocent, albeit a little silly. If you have a problem, come directly at me.”
He calmly spoke before pursing his lips bitterly.
His words surprised the middle-aged man.
His son, who had never lowered his head in front of anyone, unexpectedly spoke modest words.
”I think that you've really lost your mind over a woman!”
The longer he looked his son's abnormal expression, the angrier he felt.
”He he! What right do you have to talk about others, old man? Weren't you head over heels for me back then?”
Just as the two were stuck in an impasse, Mother Ji's voice cut in.
”Honey, don't mess around,” her husband chided gently, seeing her enter the room as well.
”I'm messing around? Hmph! You can lecture my son like this, but I can't back him up?” She walked to the front of her husband and glared at him.
He was speechless at this.
Ji Ziming did not care about his dad's feelings and just continued pressing him for answer.
”Dad, where exactly is Pei Ge right now?”
”Talk! Where did you send our Ge Ge?!” She, who had originally come to consensus with her husband, began interrogating him, too.
”…” Father Ji sighed when his wife started grilling him, too.
”I had her go somewhere outside the capital,” he answered coldly, glancing at his son.
”Then where did you send her?”
Ji Ziming grew antsy.
”I can't tell you now.”
”…”
A feeling of frustration rose in him at his father's reply.
”Why do you always do this?!”
He, who had always been calm, suddenly spoke aloud.
Both his parents were shocked by his outburst.
”Son, are you okay?” she asked, nervously looking at him.
He did not respond to her and just continued staring at his father.
”… Are you blaming me for this?” His father sighed after a moment's silence.
