Zhou Lianjie felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing this.

He always felt that Old Master Qin was making veiled criticisms.

Just as he was about to say a few words, Qin Yuehe stopped him with a look.

It meant to remind him that the old man was in a bad mood and he shouldn't go looking for trouble.

Qin Yuehe is a farsighted person. Right now, her relationship with the Xu family is about to end. The only things that can make the Xu family change their minds, besides the child in Xu Yatong's belly, are the relationship between Old Master Qin and Old Man Xu.

If Zhou Lianjie speaks without thinking and offends Old Master Qin, his future will be very difficult.

Zhou Lianjie had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Even after he finished cursing, Old Master Qin's anger had not subsided at all.

He was a very sensible person. Although it was understandable for an elder to discipline a younger generation, ultimately, this was a matter for the Zhou family, and it was not appropriate for him, as the maternal grandfather, to meddle in everything.

Qin Yuehe seized the opportunity to serve tea and water to Old Master Qin.

"Dad, this is your favorite pre-rain Longjing tea. It was given to Lianjie by someone. He always hesitates to drink it because he's thinking of you. Calm down. If you're still angry after drinking the tea, then keep scolding Zhengqing. You can scold him however you want."

Old Master Qin finally showed a slightly gentler expression towards his daughter, but his demeanor remained serious.

"I don't want to get involved in the Zhou family's affairs anymore. I just want to remind you that a doting mother often spoils her son!"

After saying that, he didn't even drink his tea; he got up, leaned on his cane, and left.

Zhou Lianjie dared not neglect the task and quickly saw it off.

Before leaving, Old Master Qin glanced at Xue Hongmei and Xue Yi.

He gave the guard a wink, and the guard slipped a note to Xue Hongmei.

"Young lady, if you have any difficulties, just come to me, Old Man Qin."

This was a clear message to the Zhou family: they were not allowed to make things difficult for Xue Hongmei.

Xue Hongmei expressed her gratitude to the only upright and honest person here.

After Old Master Qin left, Qin Yuehe gestured for Zhou Zhengqing to go inside first, and then said to Xue Hongmei:

"Comrade Xue, come with me, let's have a proper talk?"

As Xue Hongmei watched Zhou Zhengqing turn and enter the room, not daring to meet her gaze, she couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.

She felt no remorse whatsoever for disrupting Zhou Zhengqing's wedding.

From beginning to end, Zhou Zhengqing didn't dare to speak to her, not even utter a fart; he was a coward who dared to do something but not to take responsibility.

Even at this point, he still needs his mother to stand up for him.

"Auntie, don't you think it would be more appropriate for your son to come and talk to me in person?"

Qin Yuehe defended Zhou Zhengqing, saying, "He's young and doesn't know any better. He's terrified. Comrade, it's better if I talk to you."

Judging from Qin Yuehe's tone, it was as if Zhou Zhengqing was a three-year-old child who had broken the neighbor's window.

He is clearly an adult, but he lacks the responsibility that an adult should have.

It seems that Old Master Qin was right; Zhou Zhengqing was spoiled by Qin Yuehe.

Xue Hongmei's sarcastic smile deepened.

"Alright then, Auntie, please go ahead."

Qin Yuehe glanced at the quiet little boy behind her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Let the children play in the yard for a while first."

She grabbed a handful of candy from the coffee table in the living room and tried to give it to Xue Yi.

Xue Yi remained obediently standing behind Xue Hongmei, without reaching out to take the candy.

Xue Hongmei picked up a piece of hard candy, unwrapped it, and put it into Xue Yi's mouth.

"Little Yi, go play under that tree for a while, and Mommy will take you away in a bit."

Xue Yi then ran into the yard, saw a small wooden horse, and rode on it.

Qin Yuehe pulled Xue Hongmei to sit down.

"Comrade Xue, look at the mess this has made... Since Zheng Qing hasn't denied it, we won't deny it either. You've worked hard these past few years. Tell us, what do you want? As long as it's within our power, we will definitely give it to you."

Her words were very gentle, but Xue Hongmei wasn't stupid; she clearly knew she was trying to bribe her.

But she wasn't the kind of vulgar woman who only cared about money.

“Auntie, I don’t want anything from you. I just want Zhou Zhengqing out so I can ask him a few questions in person. After that, I’ll leave with my child.”

Seeing Xue Hongmei's resolute attitude, Qin Yuehe said with difficulty:

"Comrade Xue, don't force him. Today is supposed to be a joyous occasion, but things have turned out like this. He must be very upset. Meeting you might not be able to explain things clearly. You should just tell me. I'll agree to any conditions."

As she spoke, she pulled a large red envelope out of her pocket.

The red envelope also had a large "囍" character written on it, and it was originally prepared as a gift for Xu Yatong to change her address to Xu Yatong.

She tore open the red envelope and stuffed a thick stack of "big unity" bills into Xue Hongmei's hand.

"Take this money and buy the child some new clothes."

Xue Hongmei felt deeply insulted, and she waved her hand and stood up.

"No need. Since you don't want to meet me, I have nothing more to say."

She sneered, "Judging from the situation, I understand everything, and there's no need to ask any more questions."

She strode out of the house and called to Xue Yi, "Xiao Yi, come on, let's go home with Mom."

Qin Yuehe wanted to say something, but Xue Hongmei had already left quickly without even turning her head, making her very embarrassed.
