She stared at Ye Zhizhou for a long time, thinking that Ye Zhizhou would compromise.
However, Ye Zhizhou uttered two words very clearly, "No."
Grandma Dong trembled all over. She had no granddaughter like this! So unruly, disrespectful to her elders, and yet so self-righteous.
"Ye Zhizhou, you've got some nerve! Do you even want your mother's belongings anymore?!"
Hearing this, Ye Zhizhou frowned. Why hadn't Ye Huaibin ever mentioned her mother's belongings?
"What relics?"
Seeing that she had finally grasped Ye Zhizhou's weakness, Old Mrs. Dong's smile deepened.
"I can't tell you right now. If you really want it, the condition is that you leave Haishi and never bother the Dong family again."
Ye Zhizhou frowned. Was she being threatened?
"You think you can just make me leave Haishi based on your empty words? That's too presumptuous."
After Ye Zhizhou finished speaking, he lay down on the hospital bed, covered himself with the blanket, closed his eyes, and ignored everyone.
Old Mrs. Dong was slightly angry. She had made her point so clearly, yet Ye Zhizhou still refused to compromise.
"Hmph, you can't escape this by pretending to be asleep. As long as you're in Haishi, I'll make sure you never have a moment's peace!"
After Mrs. Dong finished speaking, the group left in a hurry.
The ward returned to silence.
Lin Qiqi and Lu Qing tactfully left the ward. Qin Xuan looked at Ye Zhizhou on the bed and said in a low voice, "He's gone. You can open your eyes now."
Ye Zhizhou sighed inwardly. She had just closed her eyes and communicated with the system. The system said that it did not know exactly what the relic was, but it emphasized that Old Madam Dong was not a villain in the true sense of the word in this world.
This put her in a difficult position. Since she wasn't a villain, there was no need for her to have such a strained relationship with Old Mrs. Dong.
But Old Mrs. Dong didn't give her any face.
"Qin Xuan, even if bones are broken, they are still connected by tendons. We are clearly related by blood, so why does she find me so displeasing? Am I that ugly?"
Qin Xuan shook his head and handed her a glass of water. "It's her problem. Don't doubt yourself because of someone else's mistake."
A faint smile appeared on Ye Zhizhou's lips, and he felt that even the water in his hand had become sweet.
"Let's talk to my uncle about this when he has time. I'm quite curious about how the old lady plans to make things difficult for me."
Qin Xuan tore open a bag of potato chips. "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Ye Zhizhou munched on potato chips, "If only she weren't my grandma, I could do whatever I want. Sigh, it's so hard to be a heartless playboy."
Qin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her troubled expression.
"Many times, people are not in control of their own lives."
Ye Zhizhou frowned. She felt that Qin Xuan's words were quite profound, as if there was some hidden meaning behind them.
"Qin Xuan, it seems like you haven't spoken to Aunt Huo on the phone for a long time. Why don't you call her now?"
Qin Xuan shook his head, "No need, she'll call me when she has time."
Ye Zhizhou gave an "oh" and continued to think about how to deal with Old Madam Dong. It has to be said that the grandmother and granddaughter are quite similar in some ways.
For example, they would never compromise.
When are we going back to Ning City?
Qin Xuan peeled an orange for her and casually asked, "Judging by the time, they've been in Haishi for almost twenty days now, and the college entrance exam results should be out by now."
Ye Zhizhou took a segment of orange from his hand. "Wow, it's so sweet. You should try it."
Just as Qin Xuan was about to eat the orange, Ye Zhizhou leaned in and put the orange in his mouth. The sweetness of the orange combined with the soft touch of her lips made Qin Xuan's heart stop for a moment.
