Hearing this, Ye Qing became extremely nervous. Ye Qing had indeed been covering the old man's hospital expenses for the past few years, but apart from the last time he visited the old man, he hadn't been able to see him again. If what the old man said was true, Ye Qing felt that there was a high probability that things would go wrong.
I thought he would speak up for me, but if people who know the details find out, it might put me in an even worse situation.
Xi Quan noticed Ye Qing's actions, reached out and grasped Ye Qing's tightly clasped hands, silently comforting her.
The old man on TV stopped talking. He handed the host a cassette tape and said, "Originally, I kept this to keep Ye Qing in check, but I don't need it anymore. Let's play it out and listen to it so everyone can understand the rights and wrongs of this."
The host seemed surprised that the old man had brought a cassette tape, so the director brought out a tape recorder on set. The tape was quite old and the sound quality wasn't very good, but it was still audible when recorded.
The old man said, "Ye Shuang, I'm warning you, don't even think about those tricks. Shu Wei is your uncle, that's true, but he's also my son. His money is mine, and I'm not even dead yet, so it's none of your business."
Ye Shuang: "It's not my turn, but you should still think about giving me some. Otherwise, all of my uncle's money might end up with Ye Qing. You don't have to disbelieve me; I've inquired, and Ye Qing has the right to take that money. Do you need me to help you recall how you treated Ye Qing before? Judging from your appearance, you're probably not senile and haven't forgotten. Since you know, then think carefully about whether Ye Qing will retaliate against you if all the money is given to him."
The old man said, "Stop trying to scare me! Besides, even though Shuwei is still in jail, she's not dead yet. Even if something happens to her, Ye Qing is Ye Shuwei's own daughter, and Ye Qing is my own granddaughter. How could she abandon me?"
Ye Shuang sneered: "Why did my uncle go to jail? He not only had Ye Qing's uncle and aunt kidnap her, but after the matter was exposed, he even thought about running Ye Qing over, but he was caught by the police. Who would care about a father like that, let alone you being his grandfather? Oh, I remember you went to Ye Qing's shop to mock her. With all the old and new grudges combined, do you think she would care about you? So, in the end, it's better if you're on my side. That way, you won't be left without anyone to burn paper money for you in the future."
The recording only features Ye Shuang and the old man. Ye Qing doesn't know when it was recorded, but he can guess that it was when Ye Shuwei went in before he died.
It seemed like there was more recording going on, but the host pressed the pause button.
After all, this is a TV program, so there needs to be interaction.
Moreover, the recording already contains a lot of information. Previously, Ye Shuang said that Ye Qing was related to her and Xu Ying, but Ye Qing did not associate with them and even took advantage of their misfortunes. Now, this recording is equivalent to telling everyone why Ye Qing does not contact them.
Although the news about Xu Ying and the coal boss has cooled down a bit recently, it was brought up again a couple of days ago because of Ye Shuang, so the host first asked about some things related to Xu Ying.
"Xu Ying is Ye Qing's uncle's daughter?"
The old man said, "Ye Qing's uncle does have a daughter named Xu Ying, but I don't know if she's the model you're talking about. I do know Ye Qing's uncle and aunt, after all, they came to us a few times to ask for money. Children change a lot when they're young, so I can't say for sure."
"What about Ye Qing's uncle and aunt?"
"They went to jail because my son didn't want to give them money. He was also in poor health and needed surgery, so they told them they wanted money. They kidnapped Ye Qing and secretly made him have the surgery, then gave them the money. Later, Ye Qing ran away and called the police. The police arrested them and sentenced them to a few years. I've forgotten how many years they were sentenced to. I really don't know if they're out now."
If it were back then, Ye Qing might have been furious to hear the old man say that, but now Ye Qing was very calm. It felt like what happened back then was a past life. She had clearly been reborn once, but it felt like she had been reborn several times.
It's normal for the host to want to know more, but Mr. Ye was being far too outspoken. To maintain control of the situation, the host changed the subject and talked about Ye Shuang.
But Grandpa Ye told them to continue listening to the recording.
The recording that followed was about how Ye Shuang had taken over the old man's house, which had caused the old man to suffer a stroke and become paralyzed.
Because the old man was furious, the recordings were conveniently left hanging, leaving the audience wanting more while also infuriating them.
Seeing this, Ye Qing turned off the TV and looked at Xi Quan, "You arranged all of this, didn't you?"
When Ye Qing first heard the old man say that while watching TV, she didn't quite understand. But now that she's seen so much, she can pretty much guess: "You've been taking care of him all these years?"
Xi Quan said calmly, "It can't be called taking care of him. It's just that I occasionally show up in front of him to let him know that you actually care about him. If you don't treat someone like him well, he will definitely think about revenge. I just thought that I didn't expect him to repay me or anything, as long as he doesn't stab me in the back. I didn't expect him to actually be so kind."
Ye Qing was deeply moved, because she knew that although Xi Quan spoke casually, it was not easy to change the mind of such a stubborn person.
Xi Quan was only thinking of helping Ye Qing. In his view, it was only natural for him to do anything for Ye Qing. He didn't intend to move Ye Qing or anything like that. So when he saw Ye Qing's moved expression, Xi Quan felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "I found out which nursing home the old man was staying at by chance. I found out by accident. My legs weren't very good at the time, so I went to that nursing home to recuperate. I just happened to run into him. It wasn't that I wanted to be nice to him. It's just that Liang Youjie also knew the old man was staying there, and I was afraid he would use the old man to do something to you. So after I recovered, I went there more often. To put it bluntly, it was also to guard against Liang Youjie..."
Before Xi Quan could finish speaking, Ye Qing leaned close to him and kissed him.
Xi Quan was stunned by Ye Qing's initiative to kiss him. He stared at Ye Qing in disbelief: "I..."
Ye Qing reached out and covered Xi Quan's mouth. For Ye Qing, the truth was not that important. She only needed to know that the old man was speaking up for her impartially because of Xi Quan: "Thank you."
Although Xi Quan felt that he didn't want Ye Qing to be moved, seeing that Ye Qing was moved and even took the initiative to kiss him, Xi Quan felt that this feeling was not bad, so he deliberately said, "Your thank you is a bit too casual."
