Ye Qing didn't want to give Xi Yue any face at all because of Xi Yue's attitude. Who knew that Xi Yue's grandparents would come.
Ye Qing had only met these two elderly people once before. Although they had spoken up for Xi Yue during their last meeting, Ye Qing couldn't bring himself to dislike them.
Ye Qing generally doesn't want to express any likes or dislikes to someone he doesn't know at all.
Xi Yue's grandparents were also people Ye Qing didn't know.
Moreover, these two elderly people are not young, so Ye Qing would not do anything to them, especially seeing that they were panting heavily from running, and their foreheads were already sweating despite the cool weather.
This made it even harder for Ye Qing to speak ill of Xi Yue in front of the two elderly people. As long as they took Xi Yue away and compensated for the store's losses, Ye Qing was willing to tolerate it.
Although swallowing one's anger has never been Ye Qing's nature, he simply couldn't bring himself to retaliate in front of these two elderly people with white hair.
Ye Qing wanted to let it go, but Xi Yue didn't want to. She shook off her grandfather who was holding her and walked up to Ye Qing again: "Don't you have nightmares when you sleep at night?"
Since Xi Yue insisted on making such a fuss, Ye Qing was never one to back down.
She crossed her arms and looked at Xi Yue coolly: "I sleep very well every day and don't have nightmares. I advise you to think about yourself. You smashed up this place, what are you going to face?"
"What are you facing? Trying to scare me again, huh? If I were afraid of you, I wouldn't have come to see you today." Xi Yue now seemed particularly obsessed, or rather, possessed.
Xi Yue's grandparents glanced at Ye Qing apologetically, then the two elderly people tried to pull Xi Yue away, but they were old and it was difficult for them to pull her away. In addition, Xi Yue did not want to leave and instinctively used all her strength to break free.
So although Xi Yue struggled to break free from her grandparents, she eventually succeeded.
"I'm here today to destroy this place. You opened this shop on my advice, and now that you've opened it, you think you're all grown up and don't even respect your own father. You think no one can stop you?" Xi Yue finished speaking and smiled, but the smile was extremely creepy. "No one can stop you, but I will."
The moment she finished speaking, Xi Yue bent down again to pick up the stone she had brought specially.
Ye Qing sneered: "If you smash it today, your life might not be so peaceful from now on."
"Threatening me again?" Xi Yue seemed even angrier upon hearing Ye Qing's words, and instinctively raised the stone she was holding.
Just as the stone in her hand was about to fall, Ye Qing said, "I've already called the police."
Hearing Ye Qing say this, Xi Yue paused slightly in the hand holding the stone, but instantly became even angrier than before, feeling that Ye Qing was threatening her more and more aggressively.
Xi Yue's grandparents, who had just been shaken off and were standing nearby catching their breath, tensed up when Ye Qing mentioned calling the police. The two elderly people exchanged a glance, then stood on either side of Ye Qing: "Ye Qing, you can't call the police. Xi Yue, because of Ye Shuwei's matter, although she hasn't been sentenced yet, it's considered cover-up. She's currently on probation. If she calls the police and gets arrested, she might go to jail later... You..."
That's not wrong. They are Xi Yue's grandparents, who raised her from a young age, so it's perfectly normal for them to speak up for her.
Ye Qing understood, but she was still inevitably affected emotionally. She glanced at the mess that Xi Yue had made of the shop and asked Xi Yue's grandparents, "So now that my shop is like this, it's my bad luck, right?"
“We will compensate you,” the two elderly people said.
Ye Qing wouldn't be so generous as to say there was no need to compensate, after all, Ye Qing wasn't a rich person, and could only say that he could support himself.
So even though Ye Qing was still angry, he didn't say anything more after the two elderly people said that. But Ye Qing didn't expect that after he stopped talking, the other party would say something else: "Ye Qing, can you not call the police?"
"I've already called the police," Ye Qing said.
Upon hearing this, the two elderly people became anxious: "How can you call the police? Even if we didn't tell you, you should know Xi Yue's current situation. It's not that we won't compensate you. What will happen to Xi Yue if you call the police?"
Ye Qing had originally intended to let it go, especially since the other party was an elderly man with white hair, but who knew...
Ye Qing asked, "So, according to your logic, I should just let Xi Yue smash things without restraint, since you'll lose money anyway, and I don't seem to suffer any loss, right?"
The two elderly people knew that their demands on Ye Qing were somewhat biased and unfair to him, but they couldn't do anything about it. They were all human, and Xi Yue had truly been raised by them with great care.
So, even though she knew that saying more might only make Ye Qing angrier, she still wanted to explain a few things to Xi Yue in the face of Ye Qing's sarcastic remarks. Xi Yue's grandmother said, "It's definitely wrong to smash things, which is why we're in such a hurry. Since we've called the police, there's nothing we can do now. But when the police come, could you please not say that Xi Yue smashed it?"
When Xi Yue's grandfather heard his wife say that, he was quite amazed. He subconsciously wanted to tug at her, but when he caught a glimpse of Xi Yue's pale and dazed face, he felt a pang of pain in his heart and swallowed his words.
Ye Qing felt that there was a saying that was really true: "Kindness is often taken advantage of."
I shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the first place.
What are the consequences of being soft-hearted? The consequence of being soft-hearted is that the other party can make such an absurd request. Ye Qing sneered: "If you won't say it was Xi Yue who smashed it, then say who did?"
Ye Qing paused deliberately, then said with a half-smile, "Are you suggesting I smashed it myself? Am I crazy or what? Smash my own shop? Who would believe that? Do you even believe it yourself?"
“Ye Qing, we know that what her grandmother said is a bit unreasonable, but Xi Yue is the child we raised. Of course we have to side with our own child and family. You also have elders, so you should understand our feelings. It is only natural for elders to protect their own children.” Xi Yue’s grandfather also joined in persuading Ye Qing.
Xu Xiaoyue had remained silent, as had the two young women who were making clothes, but upon hearing this, they couldn't help but speak up for Ye Qing.
Ye Qing pulled Xu Xiaoyue aside, then looked at the two young ladies, indicating that they didn't need to rush.
Ye Qing was already unwilling to tolerate it, but she didn't expect them to bring up the topic of elders, which was like poking at Ye Qing's heart. Ye Qing's expression instantly turned cold.
