Ye Qing smiled and said, "Xi Yue has been accusing me of disregarding my own father, which is why she smashed up my shop. Now you're telling me to think about my elders? Who should I think about?"
The two elderly people were a little embarrassed. Xi Yue didn't want to hold back and still wanted to smash it, but the two elderly people held her back and she hadn't broken free yet.
The two elderly people were struggling to hold Xi Yue, so they couldn't speak to Ye Qing properly. Hearing Ye Qing's words, they said, "It's because you're too harsh on your elders, so..."
Before they could finish speaking, Ye Qing interrupted them and repeated everything she had done in Xiaoyao Village, including what her biological father, Ye Shuwei, had done.
Ye Qing then mocked himself: "So now you want me to understand my elders? How am I supposed to understand them? All my elders either wish I were dead or treat me like a cash cow."
According to Xi Yue, I couldn't argue, I could only endure it? Having such a family, it's normal for me to be driven crazy, so I smashed up my own shop? That sounds plausible to the police, right?
The two elderly people were so ashamed by Ye Qing's words that they knew how demanding their requests were to Ye Qing. In the moment of their daze, they loosened their grip on Xi Yue a little.
As soon as they loosened their grip, Xi Yue immediately broke free, bent down again to pick up the stones on the ground, and started smashing them again.
Ye Qing had originally intended to pull Xi Yue aside. Although they would have to pay compensation, Ye Qing didn't want the store to be vandalized like this. However, seeing that the police had arrived in a hurry and were already outside the store, Ye Qing paused for a moment, then continued to watch the show with a half-smile, arms crossed, watching Xi Yue court death.
However, just as the police opened the door to Aoba's shop to enter, someone rushed in like lightning. It was Xi Quan, who had rushed over after receiving the news.
He dragged Ye Qing away, making Xu Xiaoyue watch over Ye Qing, and then angrily walked up to Xi Yue and slapped her across the face!
Xi Yue was smashing stones with great enthusiasm when she was suddenly stopped. She was a little taken aback and stopped smashing them, but she still held the stones in her hands. Then Xi Quan slapped her so hard that she was completely disoriented.
The stone he was holding in both hands fell to the ground with a thud.
"Xi Quan, you actually hit me!" Xi Yue covered her cheeks and it took her a while to realize what was happening. When she saw who was standing in front of her, she punched Xi Quan with all her might.
Xi Quan wouldn't indulge her like her grandparents would, and pulled Xi Yue away, saying, "What's wrong with you!"
At this moment, the police officer spoke up at the opportune moment: "Who called the police?"
Xu Xiaoyue walked over: "I called the police."
Ye Qing also said, "She broke down the door and came in. I told Xiaoyue to call the police."
The police officer glanced at the situation in Ye Qing's shop and said, "Since you've called the police, tell me what happened."
Ye Qing recounted what had happened, and then said, "As you can see, there are a lot of people standing outside watching the commotion. My shop has glass walls, so you can see everything from the outside. You can ask the people watching the commotion outside."
Before the police could say anything after Ye Qing finished speaking, Xi Yue said, "No need to ask, I'm the one who smashed it."
When Xi Yue's grandparents heard what she said, their expressions changed.
Although it is the truth, the consequences of this matter are very serious.
Xi Quan sneered: "You're courting death, but there's no need to be in such a hurry. Look at your grandparents, is this how you repay them?"
The police officer interrupted Xi Quan again at the opportune moment: "Who said anything?"
Once again, Xi Yue spoke first, explaining why she was so dissatisfied with Ye Qing, rambling on and on without getting tired of it.
Her grandmother was wiping away tears, and her grandfather was also saddened.
The police officer glanced at the two elderly people, then at Xi Yue, who was still rambling on, and his expression became somewhat intriguing.
However, since Xi Yue took the initiative to confess, she still needs to be taken back and questioned properly, because Xi Yue is currently on probation and might be locked up if something happens.
When Xi Yue's grandparents saw their granddaughter being taken away, the two elderly people collapsed to their seats, with the grandmother wiping away tears.
Although Ye Qing didn't want to be soft-hearted, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Xi Yue's grandparents when she saw their appearance. She turned around, grabbed some tissues, and prepared to hand them to them.
Then they heard Xi Quan's voice: "I told you all, if Xi Yue's condition doesn't improve, we should send her to a professional hospital, but you refused. Now look what's happened?"
"A professional hospital? How could we bear to do that? Those places are basically just for mental patients..."
"Isn't that exactly what Xi Yue's illness is like?!" Xi Quan said irritably, "I was wondering why Xi Yue came back from abroad when she hadn't even graduated yet, but you all kept quiet about it. Now look what's happened!"
Xi Quan was also furious, but they were his grandparents after all. Although he wasn't raised by them, he had grown closer to them since his father passed away, and they had a good relationship.
The grandparents only had two sons, but both of them passed away early. Xi Quan is now the pillar of their family.
Moreover, Xi Quan also shouldered this responsibility.
Seeing his grandparents' grief and despair, Xi Quan sighed, "I'll go and see what the police have to say about Xi Yue's situation."
After saying that, Xi Quan was about to leave, but thinking about his grandparents' condition, he said to Ye Qing, "Could you please take my grandparents back?"
"No need, no need, we'll go back ourselves," Xi Quan's grandfather quickly said, thinking about their attitude towards Ye Qing earlier, he couldn't very well let Ye Qing take them back.
Before Ye Qing could even reply, Xi Quan had already left.
Seeing how weak Grandpa and Grandma Xi Quan looked, Ye Qing didn't want to send them away, so she quietly tidied up the shop with Xu Xiaoyue and the other two young ladies.
When they were almost finished tidying up, the two elderly people belatedly realized that they had been there for too long, so they helped each other to their feet and prepared to go back. However, they were both a little unsteady and seemed about to fall as they walked.
Ye Qing glanced at it, sighed softly, put down the broom in her hand, turned to Xu Xiaoyue and the other two young ladies and said, "When you're done cleaning up, close the door. We won't be opening it today."
Although the door was smashed, the storefronts all have those roller shutters that pull up, so there's no fear of things being stolen after closing the door.
After giving the instructions, Ye Qing helped Xi Quan's grandparents leave.
At first, the two elderly people didn't want to trouble Ye Qing, but after Xi Yue's outburst, they were truly exhausted, both physically and mentally, and their advanced age made it difficult for them to cope.
After dropping the two elderly people off at home, Ye Qing didn't plan to stay and turned to leave. Xi Quan's grandfather said, "Thank you for your trouble. Why don't you stay for dinner?"
Ye Qing thought this was probably just the old man's habitual politeness, and it was also the most common politeness. Ye Qing wouldn't be foolish enough to take it seriously, but after what had happened, it would be a bit too hypocritical for him to be so polite as to invite her to dinner again. Ye Qing couldn't help but retort.
