That night, the family of four sat at the dinner table. Qin Ye hardly moved his chopsticks the whole time, and his eyes were always looking at Song Qianning intentionally or unintentionally.

Noticing his gaze, Song Qianning pretended not to see it and continued eating her meal.

After staring at Song Qianning for several times, Qin Ye pretended to speak casually and talked about Su Qianbai: "I heard that you found a new helper named Su Qianbai these two days?"

Glancing at Qin Ye, Song Qianning responded and said casually, "Qianbai fainted outside my restaurant before. I felt sorry for him, so I kept him here as a helper."

Seeing Song Qianning calling Su Qianbai so affectionately, Qin Ye felt inexplicably unhappy.

Forcefully suppressing his discontent, he said, "Before, the Ning family failed to find the magical seed and nearly perished in a tiger's mouth. Later, because of the conflict between you and the common people, they will definitely blame you for everything."

"Given her personality, it's highly likely she'll hate you. The fact that she brought people here to smash up the restaurant shows she won't give up on you easily."

When the Ning family was mentioned, Song Qianning's expression became more serious, but she still murmured with some confusion: "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"

"I just want to tell you that Ning is not a good person. She won't let you go easily. And your newly hired helper Su Qianbai's appearance at the right time is too coincidental."

Looking at Song Qianning, he reminded her, "You and the Ning family just had a conflict, and he just happened to faint and appear outside the restaurant. Don't you find it strange?"

When Song Qianning heard Su Qianbai's name, she stopped eating and immediately put down her chopsticks. She looked at Qin Ye with a bad expression: "What do you mean by saying this?"

"Su Qianbai couldn't even get enough to eat, and yet he fainted outside your restaurant knowing full well that he was weak. It would have been fine at any other time, but he showed up at this critical moment..."

After a slight pause, Qin Ye continued, "Even when you distributed porridge and seeds earlier, the news spread so widely, it's impossible for him not to know about it. But he just fainted from hunger now..."

Sensing the hint in Qin Ye's tone, Song Qianning frowned and interrupted him with a somewhat bad tone: "You think too much."

"Qianbai was weak. When I met him, he had barely any flesh on his body. It was perfectly normal for him to faint. As for fainting outside the restaurant, I think it was just a coincidence."

"He didn't know me at all, and he didn't know it was my restaurant beforehand. He only found out after he woke up. And it was me who took the initiative to ask him to stay as a helper in the restaurant. It has nothing to do with him."

Because of what Song Qianning said, Qin Ye's face darkened even more, and he was slightly unhappy: "Do you really trust that Su Qianbai?"

"Why shouldn't I trust him?" Song Qianning snorted softly, counting Su Qianbai's strengths on her fingers: "Ever since I kept Qianbai here, he's been diligent and hardworking. He's always eager to do any work I need, and he's always grateful. He never slacked off when I was away..."

After enumerating Su Qianbai's advantages, she shook her head at Qin Ye and said disapprovingly, "I don't know why you don't like Qianbai, but you shouldn't speculate about an innocent boy based on your own prejudice. It's unfair to him."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Qin Ye's face immediately disappeared, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You said I was maliciously speculating about him?!"

Facing Qin Ye's cold face, Song Qianning became even more blunt: "You have never had any contact with Qian Bai, nor do you know him. You have no idea who he is. Without any hatred or grudge, you say that he was sent by the Ning family. What else can this be but malicious speculation?"

Seeing Song Qianning so stubborn, he laughed in anger: "Okay, okay, it seems that you have already decided that I am maliciously speculating about him. It is useless for me to say more."

This time Song Qianning didn't say anything, but her expression made it clear.

Seeing her expression, Qin Ye's laughter became even colder, and his heart was filled with anger.

If anyone else dared to speak to him like that, they would have...

He was clearly doing this for Song Qianning's own good. No matter how you look at it, Su Qianbai was not a good person.

Most likely, he appeared in the restaurant on purpose, deliberately trying to get close to Song Qianning.

But Song Qianning didn't believe him and insisted that Su Qianbai was a good person. She even quarreled with him for this and said that he was making malicious guesses!

Anger almost bursting through his chest, Qin Ye's face darkened as he called her name directly, his voice cold: "Song Qianning, since you don't believe me, if you are harmed by Su Qianbai and the Ning family in the future, I will not intervene to help you!"

Angered by Qin Ye's appearance, Song Qianning, who was soft-hearted and unwilling to take any hardship, also sneered and glared back: "If you don't want to help, then don't help. I don't need your help."

"You didn't have the heart to deal with this matter, so you shouldn't have promised me out of good intentions and then did nothing!"

Qin Ye, who was filled with anger, was almost furious when he heard her words. He asked back word by word: "Fake kindness?!"

Looking back at Qin Ye without fear, Song Qianning slammed the table fiercely: "You agreed readily, but then you didn't do anything after that. What else can you say if not fake kindness? If you don't want to help, I can solve it myself."

“Okay, okay!”

His face completely gloomy, Qin Ye stood up instantly and walked out without saying a word.

The two of them walked out almost at the same time, and then walked away separately without even looking at each other.

Da Wang and Xiao Ya, who were originally eating, were also stunned by the sudden change of events that happened to Song Qianning and Qin Ye.

By the time they reacted, the two figures had already walked out.

The little girl's face turned pale as she looked at the backs of Qin Ye and Song Qianning. She lost the mood to eat and tears fell from her eyes.

She grabbed Dawang's sleeve, her voice choked and panicked: "Brother, brother, why are mother and father arguing? I, I don't want them to quarrel."

Retracting his gaze from the two of them, Da Wang saw his sister's tearful face and began to comfort her in a hurry: "Daddy and Mommy didn't quarrel on purpose. They, they quarreled because, because..."

As Da Wang stammered to comfort her, Xiao Ya's tears flowed harder and harder. Her pale little face looked particularly pitiful. She hugged him and cried loudly.

Da Wang was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his forehead. While wiping Xiao Ya's tears, he tried to change the subject and racked his brains to comfort her.

After finally comforting the little girl, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the direction the two people left outside the door. His little face wrinkled and there was worry in his eyes.

Daddy and Mommy...what's going on?

That night.

Qin Ye stayed in the guest room, thinking about the argument with Song Qianning in the evening and what happened in the past few days, and the gloom on his face became more and more severe.

The timing of Su Qianbai's appearance was too coincidental, and it was obvious that she had bad intentions. Song Qianning would rather believe a person with bad intentions than believe him. It was really a good thing.

Just as Qin Ye was secretly angry, there was a knock on the door.

At the same time, Dawang's voice came: "Daddy."
