Grandpa was taken aback by Ye Qing's words and became very angry. In addition, he was not the kind of person who was willing to swallow his anger. He hadn't done anything about it for a while because he was really hurt.
Provoked by Ye Qing's words, the old man's inherent unwillingness to listen to anyone was brought out. He went along with Ye Qing's words and said, "If you divorce Xi Quan, I will make them get married immediately."
Upon hearing this, Xi Quan was furious and stepped forward to argue with the old man, but Ye Qing quickly grabbed him, knowing that arguing with the old man at this moment would not do any good.
Looking at Ye Qing, who was holding his hand, with a puzzled expression, Xi Quan wanted to ask Ye Qing if she wasn't angry.
Before she could even ask, Ye Qing calmly addressed the old man, "Just because of what you said, Grandpa, I can't let Jiang Xinya recover. Don't you think so? Once she recovers, my husband won't be mine anymore, and my child will still have to call her 'Mom'?"
The old man was originally so angry that he was puffing out his beard and glaring, but as soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, all the emotions on his face froze instantly.
He wanted to get angry, but then he thought about what Ye Qing said and realized it made perfect sense, leaving him no room for argument.
But if he accepted Ye Qing's offer, he wouldn't even have a chance to explain why he came to them.
Ultimately, he still felt some pity for Jiang Xinya. After much internal struggle, even though he knew his emotional shift was abrupt, he still gave an awkward snort and sat down again: "You're so young, yet you're so good at arguing. Did I say you should get a divorce?"
Hearing Ye Qing rebuke the old man, Xi Quan was still not entirely pleased, but thinking that Ye Qing had at least left on his own, he temporarily suppressed his anger.
Who knew that his grandfather would still argue so unreasonably, so Xi Quan stopped being silent: "You didn't say it, but your meaning is pretty much what it is. However, judging from your attitude, you must have something to ask us for. Since you have something to ask us for, then you should have the attitude of asking for a favor."
"Who said I begged you?" The old man was immediately pleased when he heard Xi Quan say that.
Xi Quan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the old man, then said to Su Zhe, "In that case, take Grandpa back. As you can see, no one in our family cooks, and it's almost mealtime, so don't delay our meal."
These words were a blatant attempt to drive him away, and the old man was furious, but what could he do?
Although he knew that Xi Quan and Ye Qing wouldn't actually kick him out, it was precisely because of this that they understood Xi Quan's meaning even more: he hoped they could talk things out properly and also wanted him to be prepared for his refusal.
The old man, of course, understood Xi Quan's meaning. However, the old man had been proud his whole life, and now, at the very end, he had come to them about such a trivial matter, only to be shut down before he could even get a word out. It was truly embarrassing for him.
So even though the old man understood Xi Quan's meaning, he still had no intention of leaving. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a very awkward tone, "Jiang Xinya is pitiful enough. You don't have to be so ruthless, do you?"
Upon seeing the old man arrive, Ye Qing and Xi Quan knew the purpose of his visit. Ye Qing's earlier remarks were simply because the old man's words had been too infuriating.
Now that he had retorted, Ye Qing remained silent no matter what the old man said.
In fact, Ye Qing also wanted to see how Xi Quan would talk to the old man. Although she knew that Xi Quan and Jiang Xinya had no relationship, Ye Qing had to admit that she minded the "engaged couple" relationship between Xi Quan and Jiang Xinya.
“No one intended to completely destroy Jiang Xinya. Now, it’s Jiang Xinya’s own maternal grandmother who doesn’t want to deal with Jiang Xinya, this burden, because of money. It’s no use talking to us.” Xi Quan calmly rejected the old man.
The old man came to see Xi Quan with some guilt, after all, it was he who sent Jiang Xinya away and it was he who let Jiang Xinya know who her maternal grandmother was.
If Jiang Xinya hadn't known at all, she probably wouldn't be so upset now. So, from Xi Quan's stiff tone, although the old man could tell that there was no way to back down on Xi Quan's side, he was still somewhat unwilling.
"That child is pitiful. Besides, she's just thinking about what's rightfully hers. The profits from Li Yeming's studio are nothing to you. Why do you have to make things difficult for Jiang Xinya over such a small amount of money?"
Xi Quan sneered: "Even if it's a tiny bit of benefit, it's not something I can just give to Jiang Xinya on a whim."
First of all, Li Yeming disagrees. If a lawsuit is to be filed, it is necessary to prove the relationship between Jiang Xinya and Li Mingye. In this way, Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother will definitely be involved. Do you think Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother would be willing for Jiang Xinya to do this?
And also, don't you know how much of the inheritance Jiang Xinya's grandmother is fighting for? Who would willingly give up such a large sum of money?
The old man was speechless after Xi Quan's question.
"Think about Quan Zhen and Liang Youjie, and then stop trying to persuade me." Xi Quan didn't know if the old man had taken his words to heart, so he added this sentence.
The old man understood what Xi Quan meant, but he still wanted to persuade Xi Quan further: "But Jiang Xinya hasn't done anything to harm you, and she's different from Liang Youjie and the others, so you..."
Not quite sure why the old man was helping Jiang Xinya so much, Xi Quan patiently said, "But Su Zhe knows that Jiang Xinya and Yang Zi are involved together. Yang Zi has been plotting against me. So, according to your logic, should I treat Jiang Xinya the same way I treated Yang Zi? You should know that I am a vengeful person."
"You..." The old man raised his hand to point at Xi Quan in anger, but his hand trembled uncontrollably.
Xi Quan wasn't threatening the old man. If Jiang Xinya behaved herself, then the matter would naturally end there. But if she continued to follow Yang Zi and couldn't distinguish right from wrong, then Xi Quan would certainly not show any mercy to Jiang Xinya.
Xi Quan prided himself on never having been soft-hearted until he met Ye Qing and had a child. In other words, now Xi Quan is only soft-hearted towards Ye Qing and his child; no one else can truly make him soft-hearted.
In the end, the old man lowered his trembling hand and said, "Then you must let Jiang Xinya live, right?"
"She has parents, and they're so old. Has she been living off other people's charity all this time?" Xi Quan asked rhetorically.
After saying that, seeing the slight flicker in the old man's eyes, Xi Quan suddenly understood what the old man meant. Guilt?
Xi Quan was initially angry because the old man spoke to Ye Qing that way. He wasn't actually angry that the old man spoke up for Jiang Xinya, but seeing the old man's expression, Xi Quan's expression instantly turned cold, and he let out a light sneer.
