Chapter 51 One Sword to the Throat



Ye Qing's smile was radiant, a stark contrast to Quan Zhen's livid face. But just as Quan Zhen didn't stop teasing Ye Qing because of her obedience, Ye Qing didn't back down just because Quan Zhen was already angry with her.

Even if he backed down, Quan Zhen wouldn't remember his kindness, so Ye Qing wouldn't be pretentious in showing his politeness.

Approaching Quan Zhen and staring at her for a moment, Ye Qing told Quan Zhen clearly and deliberately, "So after tolerating so many troubles you've caused me, Aunt Quan, I won't tolerate it anymore. Besides, Xi Quan and I are getting along very well now. After I graduate, we might get married. After we have children, I hope you won't dislike your grandchildren, Aunt Quan. After all, they have your blood, don't they?"

If this were a TV show or a martial arts film, Quan Zhen should be given a special effect of spitting blood at this moment, because she was really angry at Ye Qing's words.

Moreover, Quan Zhen had no way to refute Ye Qing, who was reasonable, well-founded, and measured. She presented the facts and reasoned with him, making herself sound as if she had no choice but to do so.

Xi Quan gradually came to his senses upon hearing this. He felt that Ye Qing's head was now shining with light, making it impossible for him to look away.

Xi Quan has never known what kind of person he likes. He married Xu Ying out of desperation, forced by Quan Zhen.

Ye Qing, who is now completely unafraid of her mother, makes Xi Quan think she is a truly dashing girl. Compared to those timid and coy girls, Ye Qing really stands out from the crowd.

He walked over to Ye Qing, put his arm around her shoulder, and said to Quan Zhen, "Mom, Ye Qing is my girlfriend now. Whether you like her or not, I've made up my mind about her. I hope you won't make things difficult for Ye Qing anymore, otherwise..."

Quan Zhen was truly taken aback today and was furious. Not only was Ye Qing angry with her, but even Xi Quan was going against her. She looked at her son with a cold smile: "What else do you want?"

“We’ve already tried to be polite before resorting to force. If you continue to cause trouble for Quan Zhen, then…” Xi Quan looked up at the powerful characters of the Hua Mao Hotel and said, “If you continue to cause trouble for Ye Qing, I won’t let go of this Hua Mao Hotel.”

"Xi Quan, what gives you the right? The Huamao Hotel is what it is today entirely because of me..."

“It is you, but this hotel was left by your grandfather. He is still alive, and he never said that the hotel would be yours in the future. In today's fashionable terms, you are just an employee, working for your grandfather!” Xi Quan reminded Quan Zhen.

Ye Qing had no idea that Quan Zhen's family was so powerful; this hotel actually belonged to her family.

Although he had vaguely heard adults mention that Xi Quan's mother's family had a high social class when he was in Xiaoyao Village, he had only listened to it briefly because that era was long gone and what they were talking about was far removed from his own life. Now he was surprised to learn that they were actually so wealthy.

"Xi Quan, I am your mother."

Xi Quan sneered: "Indeed, you are my mother, but Grandpa said that this hotel was originally meant for me. If you feel wronged or unwilling, you can't blame anyone else. They say good people are rewarded. I don't know if you have done many evil deeds, but the child you had after abandoning me seems to be different from ordinary people."

"That's your brother..."

"Yes, it's my brother. I have no ill intentions towards him. He's just a victim of your actions."

Ye Qing was dumbfounded, not knowing that the Xi Quan family had such a thing. Just as she looked at Xi Quan in shock, Quan Zhen was trembling with anger, raised his hand, pointed at Xi Quan, and left.

"You..." As soon as Quan Zhen left, Ye Qing thought about asking Xi Quan what was going on, but she didn't expect to run into Xi Yue here.

Looking at Xi Yue's expression, she had obviously heard what was said earlier. She gave Ye Qing a thumbs up and then casually took Ye Qing's arm, saying, "You're amazing. You actually made Quan Zhen so angry."

Ye Qing smiled but didn't say anything.

Xi Yue noticed Ye Qing's clothes and was amazed when she learned that Ye Qing had made them herself! She then bombarded Ye Qing with questions.

Xi Quan said impatiently, "Ye Qing and I have other things to do. You can talk to us later."

"But……"

Ye Qing glanced at Xi Yue apologetically, indicating that they would talk later.

Xi Quan's expression was very bad, and Xi Yue didn't dare to say anything more. She just pursed her lips and stopped asking Ye Qing.

Ye Qing roughly understood what Xi Quan was going to say. Following behind him, she pondered how to begin. After being pulled to the back door of the hotel staircase by Xi Quan, before he could speak, Ye Qing preemptively said, "It was wrong of me not to tell you beforehand. What I said was for your mother's benefit. We'll just continue as before..."

Xi Quan knew, of course, that Ye Qing had only said she wanted to date him to spite her mother.

Although Xi Quan didn't understand what was going on at first, he quickly realized what was happening. He didn't blame Ye Qing for not discussing it with him beforehand. To be honest, he was even a little pleased, although Xi Quan himself wasn't quite sure why he was pleased.

In short, he wasn't angry with Ye Qing.

However, Xi Quan was displeased with Ye Qing's attitude. "You've used me, and you're just going to let it go like this?"

Ye Qing blinked sheepishly, wanting to explain a few more words to Xi Quan, but Xi Quan's attitude clearly indicated that a few words of explanation were not enough.

As Ye Qing spent more time with Xi Quan, she could not say she completely understood him, but she was able to figure out some aspects of his personality.

That means when he's obviously angry, don't rush to argue with him. Be patient and let him say what he needs to say. He might reveal his weakness at any time. Seize the loophole in his words and you can easily shut him up.

So if Ye Qing doesn't have the right to take over, he'll think he'll wait for the right opportunity.

Who knew this opportunity would come so quickly? Seeing Ye Qing remain silent, Xi Quan became even angrier: "Weren't you so capable? Weren't you so good at talking? Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you always like to thank everyone you met? What? I was used by you again, and you don't even have a thank you?"

Ye Qing silently snapped her fingers in her mind, then said innocently, "You said it yourself, you don't want me to thank you."

"I..." Upon hearing this, Xi Quan instinctively wanted to refute Ye Qing and question her about when he had said those words, but before he could ask, he realized that he had only said them recently, in the morning, not even a few hours ago.
