"Grandma, I didn't intend to take anything from your house. Don't look at me like that, or I'll get angry," Ye Qingqing said, her smile fading as she warned him bluntly.

If someone is old and doesn't realize it, then don't blame her for speaking rudely.

Mrs. Qi's face suddenly darkened, and she said in a shrill voice, "What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you talk to your mother? I am your elder, and you speak to your mother like this at home?"

Ye Qingqing smiled slightly and said sarcastically, "Grandma, your son is over there. I have absolutely no relation to you. Who do you think you are as an elder to me? I'll call you Auntie if I'm being polite, and Grandma if I'm not happy. If you continue to be unreasonable, I won't be so polite."

Qi Wenyuan stepped forward to support his mother and apologized to Ye Qingqing, "I'm sorry, I apologize on behalf of my mother. I'll explain to you later, it's really not what you see."

"What are you apologizing for? She was disrespectful to me first. I'm an elder, after all. Look at how she talks! Zhao Di, is she your friend? You tell me, wasn't she the one who disrespected me first?"

Mother Qi was furious. She had never seen a woman more arrogant than Ye Qingqing. She had ridiculed her, and now her son had to apologize. What kind of logic was that?

Zhao Di looked troubled. On one side was her future mother-in-law, and on the other was her good friend who had done her a great favor. What could she say?

Moreover, she also felt that Qi's mother's gaze just now was indeed a bit too much. Although Qi Wenyuan's previous words were suggestive, Zhao Di had no doubt that Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo had a very good relationship, so how could she possibly have an ambiguous relationship with Qi Wenyuan?

"Auntie, you must have misunderstood. Qingqing is my friend. She's a very nice person. Let's talk this out. Please don't get angry," Zhao Di said, trying to smooth things over.

Between Qi's mother and Ye Qingqing, she still chose Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing gave her wealth and luxury, and she achieved financial freedom at a young age, able to freely choose the life she wanted. These were things she never dared to dream of before. Without Ye Qingqing, she would now be like other women who support their husbands and raise their children, working a job that pays one or two thousand a month, running between the factory, school, and home every day, day after day, year after year, placing all her hopes on her children.

Let alone her spiritual life, she would probably be anxious about even the most basic material life. The heavy burden of life would weigh her down like an old lady, unlike her current carefree and relaxed state.

She would be grateful to Ye Qingqing for the rest of her life, but she was afraid she could never repay this kindness. Ye Qingqing was doing much better than her, so Zhao Di would never allow herself to betray this friendship. No matter what happened, she would stand firmly on Ye Qingqing's side.

Even if the other party is her future mother-in-law.

Mother Qi was furious and also had opinions about Zhao Di, whom she had been satisfied with. A daughter-in-law who was not of one mind with her was definitely not a good daughter-in-law. After she married into the Qi family, she would have to properly train Zhao Di and make sure she understood the duties of a daughter-in-law.

"Mom, let's go home first. We can talk about it there. Let's not make a scene outside." Qi Wenyuan looked helpless and exhausted.

His mother's temper was becoming increasingly eccentric, growing more so with age, and her health was also failing. He could only tolerate it, but the more he tolerated her, the more unreasonable she became. He was truly exhausted.

"Who's making a scene now, me or her? Wen Yuan, you...you're actually siding with an outsider? Don't you even care about me, your mother?"

Qi's mother was furious and started yelling at Qi Wenyuan. However, Ye Qingqing really admired her. She could maintain her elegance even when she was throwing a tantrum. She didn't know whether to praise her for being too well-mannered or for being too petty.
