"Grandma Ye, don't be anxious. Let's talk this out. We came here with great sincerity today, but it's a pity that Grandma Ye's words were too harsh. Actually, I don't care about these empty titles. Grandma Ye, say whatever you want. But I'm just afraid that Uncle Ye will get anxious!"
Lu Qingquan's words sounded very strange. Although he was speaking to the old lady, his eyes were fixed on Ye Zhiguo, and his gaze was meaningful.
Ye Zhiguo felt a pang of panic, but couldn't help but smile. "Why should I be in such a hurry? I'm happy to see you and Lan'er get along. After all, you two have a solid foundation of affection!"
Lu Qingquan glanced at Ye Lan, who was sobbing, then at Ye Qingqing, and then at Ye Zhiguo. His smile became mysterious, and his voice lowered. "Uncle Ye really cares about Lan'er, like he's his own daughter."
He emphasized his words about his biological daughter, his eyes carrying a warning.
Ye Zhiguo's heart sank. How did Lu Qingquan know that Lan'er was his daughter?
He quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "I love what I love, so now that I'm with Lan'er's mother, I naturally have to treat all the children the same."
"Uncle Ye is so kind-hearted. He treats other people's children better than his own."
As Lu Qingquan said this, he glanced at Ye Qingqing and then smiled at Ye Zhiguo.
Ye Zhiguo panicked even more. He was certain that Lu Qingquan knew about Ye Qingqing and Ye Lan's background. How did that bastard find out?
Could it be that stupid woman, Shen Yanhong, said it?
Ye Zhiguo looked at Shen Yanhong with a cold gaze, but Shen Yanhong did not hear the hidden meaning in Lu Qingquan's words at all. She quietly comforted the heartbroken and crying Ye Lan. Ye Zhiguo couldn't help but wonder, it didn't seem like Shen Yanhong said it. How did Lu Qingquan know?
Lu Qingquan was secretly pleased. Half of these things were revealed by Ye Lan, and the other half were his own guesses. Now it seems that he guessed correctly. Ye Qingqing was indeed not Ye Zhiguo's biological daughter!
Ye Lan knew this because she overheard Shen Yanhong and Ye Zhiguo's conversation. She learned that Ye Lan was the biological granddaughter of the Ye family and that Ye Qingqing was the illegitimate one. However, Ye Lan did not tell Lu Qingquan everything. She only told him about her own background and kept Ye Qingqing's secret.
Ye Zhiguo remained silent. He dared not gamble. If Lu Qingquan went out and spread rumors, Ye Qingqing would definitely tell Lu Mo. He was not confident in dealing with a man as unfathomable as Lu Mo!
The old lady, growing impatient, shouted, "Ten days at most! If there's no sign of anything after ten days, don't blame me for being impolite!"
“Grandma Ye, this matter should be decided by Uncle Ye!” Lu Qingquan said with a smile, his eyes once again giving Ye Zhiguo a warning look.
Ye Zhiguo gritted his teeth. Better safe than sorry. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes in the next three years and had to keep Ye Qingqing in check.
The old lady glared with her triangular eyes, ready to give Lu Qingquan another good scolding, but Ye Zhiguo interrupted her, "Mom, I think this matter needs to be considered more carefully. Lan'er is not of marriageable age yet, let's wait five months until she is of age before bringing up marriage!"
"What's the point of getting married? We're not getting married anymore, give us our money back!"
Seeing that her son had managed to get Ye Zhiguo to obey with just a few words, Yue Hongxia became smug and arrogant.
Ye Zhiguo's expression turned cold. "Our Ye family is not something your Lu family can play around with. This marriage has already been arranged, and you have no choice but to back out. At worst, we'll take each other to court and see who's in the wrong!"
He might compromise on the wedding date at most, but getting him to return the money is absolutely out of the question!
Lu Qingquan has something on him, and he has something on this kid too. Neither of them can do anything to the other!
Lu Qingquan gave Yue Hongxia a wink, and Yue Hongxia reluctantly shut her mouth and didn't say another word.
"It's settled then. We'll discuss the wedding date again in five months!"
Lu Qingquan didn't want to break ties with Ye Zhiguo. If he really exposed Ye Qingqing's background, he wouldn't gain anything. Unless absolutely necessary, there was no need for a fight to the death!
