The old man of the Qiu family said angrily: "That's right, she said it in anger, she wanted to piss me off to death."
Qiu Liming looked at Qiu Mengyun awkwardly, wanting her to say something softly to appease Old Man Qiu first.
Qiu Mengyun was also very angry at the moment, so she was not willing to lower her head. She just turned her head and pretended not to see it.
Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Xia Tian took the initiative to step forward and said, "Grandpa Qiu, why do you insist on letting Meng Yun marry that Ye Wudao?"
"Is it really for her own good? I don't think so. In my opinion, the reason you insisted on letting Mengyun marry Ye Wudao is simply because of your own consideration. You have never considered your granddaughter Mengyun at all. She is just a tool for you."
Old Master Qiu, who was already angry, turned red in the face after hearing what Xia Tian said.
"You're talking nonsense! What do you know, kid? How dare you talk nonsense here?"
"I am Mengyun's biological grandfather. How could I not consider her? I carefully selected this marriage with the Ye family for her."
"I think you are here just to deceive Mengyun and deliberately sow discord between us, grandfather and grandson."
Xia Tian laughed and said, "Old man, you're joking. Do you really need me to sow discord between you two?"
"You keep saying you're doing this for Mengyun's own good, so I'm a little curious. I wonder what Mr. Qiu's criteria are for doing Mengyun's best, and how do they manifest themselves?"
"Should we find her a husband who enjoys a life of luxury and has countless women outside? Or should we help her find a family where she will be looked down upon and disliked by everyone, marry into their family, and be treated like a slave?"
Old Master Qiu retorted, "That's not the case. I've met Wudao before. He's a very good and polite young man. The Ye family is also very well-educated. That's why the situation you described wouldn't happen."
Xia Tian asked in return, "Since you are so sure about the Ye family and Ye Wudao, let me ask you a question. How many times have you seen Ye Wudao in the past five years? When was the last time you saw him?"
"And how long have you been in contact with the Ye family? How much contact have you had with them in recent years? Have you ever lived with them?"
Old Master Qiu didn't expect Xia Tian to ask these questions, and was immediately stumped.
"Well, Wudao has been busy with work these past few years, so we haven't seen each other much. The last time we met was two years ago. Even though we don't see each other often, he often calls me to say hello. He asks about my health and Mengyun's recent situation."
"As for the Ye family, we rarely see them since we moved to Hangzhou."
"But even if we haven't seen each other much, that's not a reason for you to slander Wudao and the Ye family at will."
Xia Tian smiled and said, "It seems that you rarely go out, old man. You can find out about Ye Wudao by just asking anyone. Do I need to slander him?"
"As for the Ye family, it seems that except for their old lady, the rest of the people don't like Meng Yun very much. They think that your Qiu family is now lonely and is just an ordinary merchant family, not worthy of the Ye family."
"So, you're forcing Mengyun to marry a man like Ye Wudao, who has such a corrupt character and a messy family situation. Are you sure this is really for her good, and not just pushing her into trouble?"
Qiu Mengyun also turned around at this moment, looking at Old Man Qiu with a look of grievance: "Grandpa, you know why I have always disagreed with the marriage with the Ye family? It's not that I'm disobedient, it's really that Ye Wudao is not a good match."
Old Master Qiu seemed unable to accept what Xia Tian said. Perhaps he couldn't accept that he almost pushed his precious granddaughter into the fire with his own hands.
He muttered to himself in bewilderment, "How is this possible? This is impossible. Things shouldn't be like this. Wudao is obviously a good child. The Ye family should be a good home for him!"
Qiu Liming knew that since his father moved to Hangzhou, he had never taken the initiative to inquire about the Ye family's situation.
His old friends also knew about his friendship with the Ye family. If he didn't mention it, others would naturally not take the initiative to say bad things about the Ye family in front of him. This led to his understanding of the Ye family remaining stuck in more than ten years ago.
He sighed and spoke slowly, "Dad, what Xiaoxia said to Mengyun is true. If it weren't for that Ye family kid and everyone else being so excessive, we wouldn't have been secretly introducing someone to Mengyun."
Mr. Qiu asked in surprise: "Since you already knew it, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Qiu Liming shook his head. "Would it be any use if we told you? In fact, over the years, I've been secretly telling you that Ye Wudao and the Ye family are not suitable for Meng Yun. I wanted to persuade you to break off the engagement with the Ye family, but every time I opened my mouth, you would scold me."
"Then won't you explain to me? What did I teach you since you were a child? Did you just retreat when you encountered difficulties?" It can be seen that Mr. Qiu has made up his mind to put the blame on Qiu Liming.
Qiu Liming naturally understood that his father was embarrassed and wanted to drag him into the blame.
I could only smile bitterly and couldn't say anything.
However, Qiu Mengyun, who was standing by, felt unhappy when she saw her grandfather wrongly accusing her father.
She said with resentment, "Grandpa, how can you blame my dad for this? It was you who forced me to marry Ye Wudao for the so-called promise and to show off your friendship back then."
"If things hadn't gotten to this point today, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe it even if my dad told you the truth. Maybe even if you knew the truth, you would still pretend not to know and force me to marry him for the sake of so-called promises and friendship."
