Ye Qing looked in surprise toward the source of the sound. An elderly couple emerged from the suite, and judging from their appearance, they were about the same age as the old man who had found Ye Qing earlier.
Just as Ye Qing was silently wondering who this was, Quan Zhen introduced her: "These are Xi Quan's grandparents."
Upon hearing Quan Zhen's introduction, Ye Qing didn't have time to think too much and greeted him first.
Xi Quan's grandparents seemed to be very kind and approachable people. Although Ye Qing disagreed with what they had just said, their expressions towards Ye Qing were genuinely peaceful.
The two elderly people looked at each other, and Xi Quan's grandfather spoke up: "Ye Qing, right?"
Ye Qing nodded, and then heard the other party say, "We overheard a bit of what you and Xi Quan's mother were saying. Although we don't know exactly what you and Xi Quan's mother said, our attitude is the same as what I just said."
We've heard a bit about your background and feel very sorry for you, but we admire your resilience and self-reliance. However…
Ye Qing smiled and gestured for Xi Quan's grandfather to continue.
"However, this matter now involves Xi Yue. As Xi Yue's grandparents, we feel guilty for not raising her well and have severely reprimanded her. But even so, if Xi Yue was deeply involved in your kidnapping some time ago, she should be punished according to the law. We are impartial on this point. However, before the police reach a conclusion, we do not want your hatred to complicate this matter."
Moreover, if Xi Yue was merely being used, your outburst could be even more detrimental to her.
So no matter how you look at it, we can't really agree to you being with Xi Quan. Call us selfish or senile, but Xi Yue is our granddaughter, and emotionally we're definitely on her side. We're sorry for the hurt Xi Yue caused you, and we're willing to make amends, but making amends is one thing, but you and Xi Quan…”
Xi Quan's grandfather shook his head. "We oppose your relationship with Xi Quan, not only because of Xi Yue's relationship, but also because of your relationship with Xu Ying. So, child..."
Before the other person could finish speaking, Ye Qing expressed his attitude: "I understand."
Xi Quan's grandparents exchanged a glance, and when they looked at Ye Qing, they felt a pang of pity. But thinking of their beloved granddaughter Xi Yue, whom they had raised since childhood, they finally hardened their hearts and said, "It's good that you understand."
After speaking, the two elderly people helped each other to their feet, looked at Quan Zhen, and spoke in a much sterner tone than when they had spoken to Ye Qing earlier: "It seems you don't have anything else to say to us today. In that case, we'll be leaving now."
Quan Zhen smiled and said, "Take care. I will definitely help with Xi Yue's matter. She has been misled."
Upon hearing Quan Zhen's words, the two elderly people staggered, but did not turn around. After pausing for a moment, they walked away without looking back.
Ye Qing has met three elderly people so far today. Although Xi Quan's grandparents also do not want her to be with Xi Quan and even help Xi Yue, Ye Qing can't bring herself to dislike them.
Ye Qing even felt a little envious of Xi Yue, who had such doting grandparents who went out of their way for her. Facing such grandparents, she hoped that Xi Yue could see the error of her ways and stop being used by Ye Shuwei.
"What do you need me for?"
Hearing Quan Zhen's voice, Ye Qing came back to her senses.
I originally wanted to question Quan Zhen about why she met with Ye Shuwei's father, but now it seems that this might be a grand scheme by Quan Zhen.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Grandpa Ye had just been looking for him, and when he was looking for Quan Zhen, she happened to be at the Huamao Hotel, and Xi Quan's grandparents were also there.
You should know that your shop is the storefront of Huamao Hotel!
After calming down, Ye Qing said to Quan Zhen, "I originally had a lot of questions to ask you, but now I feel I don't need to ask anymore."
Quan Zhen seemed surprised by Ye Qing's words, which caused her to pause for a moment. However, she quickly composed herself and said, "Since you're here, I'd like to know what brings you here?"
Ye Qing was about to leave when she heard Quan Zhen say this. She smiled and silently stopped herself from speaking, saying, "You never intended to help me. From Xi Yue giving money to Xu Ying, to Ye Shuwei's father, and even Xi Quan's grandparents today, it was all your doing."
"That's right, I did plan this all along. I wanted to teach you a lesson. You came to me probably to question me about your grandfather, right? Actually, I didn't have much of an intention in coming to him. I just wanted to provoke you so you would come to me and say some harsh things so that Xi Quan's grandparents would hear them. That way, they would be even less likely to let Xi Quan be with you. Xi Quan doesn't listen to me, but he does listen to his grandparents."
After saying that, Quan Zhen shrugged and looked down at Ye Qing with the air of a victor: "Now it seems that I have succeeded, Ye Qing. There is truth to the saying that old ginger is spicier. I hope you can remember that and not always think that you are so great."
Ye Qing never thought of himself as capable; he simply didn't want to be bullied and wanted to take the initiative.
This experience served as a lesson, reminding me never to underestimate others.
"Learn from your mistakes," Ye Qing thought, but looking at Quan Zhen's arrogant demeanor, she was truly unwilling to give up. She said, "There's a saying that goes, 'Put yourself in a desperate situation and you'll survive.' I don't know if you've heard it."
"What do you mean?" Kwon Jin asked cautiously.
Ye Qing waved the cassette tape in his hand: "Since you're not going to help me, I'll just give it to the police and see if Ye Shuwei will implicate you then."
After saying that, Ye Qing turned around, but Quan Zhen grabbed Ye Qing's arm in fright: "Ye Qing, are you crazy? It's true that you have to put yourself in a desperate situation to survive, but now you've told me more than once that you have the tape. Do you think you can still hand it over to the police?"
Ye Qing laughed: "So, Aunt Quan, are you trying to shut me up completely? There's a very hurtful saying, 'killing someone to silence them.' Aunt Quan, are you thinking of doing that? Let me remind you, you may not like me, but you just don't want me to be with your son and you've done some things that make you a wicked mother-in-law. People might have some complaints about you morally, but you haven't done anything that would require you to take legal responsibility. If you really can't let it go and want me to shut up completely, then think about your youngest son who has hemophilia."
After saying that, Ye Qing shook off Quan Zhen's arm and left.
Quan Zhen paced anxiously in her room. Having dealt with Ye Qing for so long, Quan Zhen disliked him intensely, but she also had some basic understanding of him. Putting aside everything else, Ye Qing could be quite ruthless and willing to go to any lengths when he wanted to.
