Wang Qing was completely bewildered.

Feeling lost, I flipped through the records one by one.

There are remittance slips to Bai Ting every month, without fail.

His grandmother lied to him, lied to his father, and lied to everyone.

He always thought his grandfather was a madman who abandoned his wife and children for art.

When he was a child, he learned that his grandfather was a great calligrapher, and he felt a sense of longing and admiration for him.

Grandma told him that a man like Grandpa had no family or friends in his entire life and deserved to die alone.

She said that her current grandfather supported their family, and in order to repay his sacrifices, her father and she changed his surname from Chen Qing to Wang Qing.

He had always considered himself a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, but now he felt like a joke.

For a long time, the person who supported their whole family was their own grandfather, while their own grandmother kept his contributions hidden from them.

It's incredibly ironic.

Wang Qing couldn't accept it for a moment; he had been forced to become a heartless and ruthless person for more than twenty years.

The girl was right. Even a dog has more conscience than these people. He lives in a house that Chen Yiping bought with his money, but he has never once come to see this old man.

It's hard to imagine how he's managed to live alone all these years.

His face flushed red, and he dared not look Chen Yiping in the eye.

“I…I don’t know, Grandma never said that.” He tried to justify his ruthlessness over the years.

Chen Yiping had long since given up all expectations and had already guessed that Bai Ting would do this.

"I know."

"Although Grandma is the one who wronged you, she is now lying in a hospital bed with only half a life left."

For the sake of our past relationship, I still want to beg you, please save her!

Only that person could perform her surgery. He said he would perform the surgery on her grandmother if she agreed to kowtow and apologize to his father.

"You're only losing a little face, but you can save Grandma's life!"

Although he knew his grandmother had done many bad things, she was, after all, the grandmother who had raised him. Wang Qing couldn't just watch her leave and refuse to help her.

In his view, it wouldn't take much effort for Chen Yiping to kowtow, and he could save his grandmother's life. It was a very worthwhile thing to do.

Chen Yiping was so angry that he laughed.

They really are the kind of children Bai Ting raised—heartless as ever.

The doctor Wang Qing mentioned was named Cheng Ke, an expert who had returned from studying in the United States. It all came down to past grievances.

Cheng Ke's father was his best friend in the past, and the two families had been friends for generations. His family had been doctors for generations. In that turbulent era, contraband was found in their home, and Cheng Ke's father was eventually sent to the northern frontier. Before leaving, he entrusted someone to send Cheng Ke abroad.

At the time, only Cheng Kejia's family and his friend Chen Yiping knew about the contraband.

After being reported, Cheng Ke's father insisted that his good friend Chen Yiping had betrayed him, which turned the two families from old friends into enemies.

No matter how Chen Yiping explained, he wouldn't believe him. In the end, it was only through Chen Yiping's connections that Cheng Ke was successfully sent abroad.

In fact, he was able to survive the intense labor in northern Xinjiang thanks to Chen Yiping's help.

In fact, Chen Yiping had visited him in the northern frontier more than once during those years, secretly sending him food, supplies, and clothing, and bribing the leaders of the corps so that he could wait for the opportunity to be exonerated.

But even now, he still feels that Chen Yiping betrayed him, and they haven't been in contact for many years.

When Chen Yiping learned that Cheng Ke was using Bai Ting's surgery to blackmail him into kowtowing and apologizing to his father, he was naturally extremely opposed.

He has never wronged anyone in the Cheng family, not before, and certainly not now, so even if he dies, he will never kowtow and apologize.

This grandson not only lacked the aloofness of a scholar, but also seemed to think it was a very worthwhile deal. He thought that he could save a life by kowtowing, which was a great deal. In fact, it was harder to get him to kowtow than to take his life.

Liu Yihang understood Chen Yiping's personality well. Although he didn't know why that person wanted Chen Yiping to apologize, he understood the pride in Chen Yiping's bones.

If it really was his fault, he would definitely apologize, just like last time when he misunderstood me, he sincerely apologized to a junior like himself.

He insisted on not doing it, which must be because he was not wrong. So, being forced to kneel and kowtow to apologize when you are clearly not wrong is probably more painful than being killed.

"Since it's just a little loss of face, why don't you go ahead and lose it? After all, you're Master's nominal grandson, aren't you? You're so eager to save your grandma, you certainly wouldn't mind kowtowing and apologizing, right?" Liu Yihang lifted him up and glared at him fiercely.

"But, but they don't want me!" Wang Qing was instantly unhappy. How could a young man like him do something so shameful?

Liu Yihang simply picked him up like trash and threw him out the door.

"Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you." Liu Yihang waved his fist.

Wang Qing had no doubt about the power of that punch, and was so frightened that he turned and left.

Chen Yiping ignored Wang Qing. He had long been extremely disappointed in this grandson and had already done more than enough for him. He decided there was no need to contact him again.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you two children with my affairs," Chen Yiping said with a calm smile.

"Master, did you really do something to wrong the person he mentioned?" Yunyin asked curiously.

"Don't ask random questions..." Liu Yihang was about to say something.

Chen Yiping smiled and said, "These are all old stories from the past, so there's nothing wrong with talking about them."

He recounted his grievances with the Cheng family.

"How could that Cheng Ke repay kindness with enmity? You clearly helped their family, and he still made you kowtow and apologize." Yun Yin was still young and very cynical.

"It can't be entirely his fault. I couldn't explain it clearly myself. To this day, I still don't know who leaked the secret. It's understandable that he resents the enemy who harmed his whole family."

Although his father survived the ordeal in northern Xinjiang, he lost a leg and has been confined to a wheelchair ever since, suffering from a host of health problems.

In comparison, I am in relatively good health and live a fairly comfortable life, so why should I bother arguing with those who are suffering? Chen Yiping seemed quite indifferent to the situation.

Although we can't go back to the past or be friends anymore, knowing that everyone is living well in some corner of this world is a kind of happiness in itself.

"System task issued: Help Chen Yiping resolve the conflict between him and Cheng Fei."

Task Reward: Three-day access to the Mind-Reading ability.

Liu Yihang didn't really want to complete this task.

In fact, he could tell that Chen Yiping was really calm and indifferent. Untying this knot in his heart meant reopening the wounds of two old people that had been there for decades. It would be bloody and painful, so it would be better to just forget each other and move on.

He decided to let things take their natural course with this task.
