Hearing his words, Ye Qing chuckled and said, "Is that so? Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, it's already a miracle that I was able to grow up properly without anyone to teach me."
The other person's kind smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to its usual cheerful expression.
Although it wasn't a creepy smile, Ye Qing still felt very uncomfortable with the smile. He spoke again, "Just say what you have to say. You can see for yourself that this is a place for doing business. Chatting with people all the time will interfere with my business."
Because of these words, the smile on the other person's face completely disappeared, and they looked much more serious.
Moreover, his serious demeanor bears a striking resemblance to Ye Shuwei, and given that they share the same surname, Ye Qing is now almost certain that he is related to Ye Shuwei.
"Since you put it that way, I won't beat around the bush. The reason I came to see you is because of Shuwei..."
Hearing the affectionate address, Ye Qing raised an eyebrow but said nothing. However, the other person found Ye Qing's expression extremely impolite and said, "Whether you acknowledge it or not, Ye Shuwei is your father, and I am your grandfather, but from the moment I arrived, you haven't given me a single kind look..."
“My mother died early, and I had no one to teach me. It’s a miracle that I’m still alive. I remember saying that before.” Ye Qing interrupted the other person’s attempt to lecture him in the manner of an elder. “Also, you just said you wouldn’t beat around the bush, so just say it directly. Forget about the preamble.”
After saying that, Ye Qing thought for a moment, stood up to pour water for the other person, and whispered to Xu Xiaoyue as he passed by her, "Quietly turn on the recorder and record everything I said to him."
Although Xu Xiaoyue was surprised, she nodded after hearing Ye Qing's words.
Ye Qing poured a glass of water and placed it in front of the other person, saying, "There's only plain water."
If it weren't for wanting to whisper to Xu Xiaoyue, Ye Qing wouldn't have bothered to pour the water. Besides, it was obvious that the other party didn't want to talk to anyone either, and saying that she was impolite was just an attempt to gain a moral high ground.
Just as Ye Qing had guessed, the other party only glanced at the water Ye Qing had placed in front of him, and then made no other move. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "I heard you wish you could send your own father to jail?"
"It's not that I want to, it's that if he breaks the law, I will put the family aside for the greater good." Ye Qing said bluntly. After he finished speaking, he saw the other person's face getting more and more ugly. Ye Qing once again felt that being clear-headed was a really frustrating thing, because he could clearly know the other person's purpose.
It might seem like a good thing to be a little confused sometimes.
"That's your biological father!" the other person said, tapping the ground with their cane in anguish.
Ye Qing laughed: "Do you know I exist? Or do you know how I came to be? Everyone says that children are the crystallization of their parents, but what about me? Am I not the crystallization?"
When Ye Qing heard Yang Xiujuan, the mother of Liang Ziqiang, a simpleton from Xiaoyao Village, talk about her background, she couldn't say she didn't believe it at all, but subconsciously she was resistant to it.
She would rather Ye Shuwei be an irresponsible scoundrel than have her own background be as Yang Xiujuan described.
So Ye Qing's question wasn't unfounded; he just wanted to see if the Ye family knew about his background.
The truth is, judging from the expression on the face of the old man who is called Ye Shuwei's father, the Ye family most likely knows about her background.
However, Ye Qing was the kind of person who wouldn't give up until she hit a wall. Although she guessed something from the other party's expression, she still hoped to hear him admit it with her own ears, so that she could completely give up on this so-called grandfather.
"Judging from your expression, you must know about my background, right?"
The other person looked extremely embarrassed, and opened their mouth, seemingly unwilling to answer the question.
Whether it was Ye Qing's gaze being too sharp or something else, he felt a little uncomfortable under Ye Qing's stare. He seemed to stutter, but he spoke with a sense of righteousness: "After the incident, when we learned that your mother was pregnant with you, our advice was for your mother to have an abortion. However, your uncle insisted on money and wouldn't allow your mother to have an abortion. We gave them the money. As for whether your mother gave birth to you or not, that was her choice."
Hearing this, Ye Qing thought it really proved the saying, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too."
I'm so lucky I didn't turn out badly.
She sneered and said, "So, according to you, I deserve what I'm going to do now, and it has nothing to do with you, right?"
"It may sound cruel, but it's the truth. Shuwei acted impulsively back then, but your mother insisted on giving birth to you, so it has nothing to do with us."
Ye Qing nodded and asked, "So since it has nothing to do with you, why did you come to see me today? Are you trying to exonerate your son? You instigated someone to kidnap me to achieve your goals, and now that things have blown up and the police are investigating what happened, you suddenly remember that I'm your relative? Where were you before?"
"If you had agreed to the surgery sooner, no one would have wanted to kidnap you, right? Besides, having your uncle and aunt kidnap you means having to pay them money. No matter how you look at it, it's a losing proposition, and nobody wants that..."
Ye Qing thought her uncle and aunt were already evil people, and Ye Shuwei was also scum, but the white-haired old man in front of her, who should be respected, could say such shameless things.
Ye Qing was truly amazed. She suddenly stood up, looking down at her so-called grandfather, and angrily questioned, "According to your logic, you should thank me properly. After all, it seems that no one else can perform the surgery except me. Without the surgery, your son might die. It's not a good feeling for an elderly person to send off a child."
"You..." The other person was so angry at Ye Qing's words that he raised his cane to hit Ye Qing.
Ye Qing reached out and grabbed the cane, saying coldly, "You can't even handle this? Didn't you come to me wanting me to let the kidnapping go? But this doesn't look like you're begging for help."
Ye Qing's sarcastic remarks put Old Master Ye in a difficult position.
In the end, he could only awkwardly put away his cane, saying, "Hmph, how dare you make me beg you? You haven't even called me grandpa yet."
"It seems you really are getting old. You've already forgotten what you just said. You said that after giving money to my uncle, we had nothing to do with each other anymore. Now you have the nerve to ask me to call you grandpa. Do you have the nerve to call me that? Do you have the nerve to agree?"
When facing a villain, you have to be stronger than him, otherwise you'll definitely get bullied. This is the answer Ye Qing came to a conclusion long ago.
Seeing that he hadn't gained any advantage from Ye Qing and had even been humiliated by her, Old Master Ye was thinking of turning around and leaving immediately. However, he was worried that Ye Qing would really keep going like this. He said, "If you stop making trouble and have already had the surgery on Shu Wei, everything will be fine. But if you keep making trouble like this, then we will have no choice but to reveal your background and see how you can do business then."
