Qiu Mengyun blushed and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? We've just started dating and aren't even engaged yet. How can we do something like that?"
Mother Qiu said disapprovingly, "What's wrong with just starting a relationship? As long as you're sure you like him, that's all that matters. Once you take him to the hotel, getting engaged will be a piece of cake!"
Qiu Mengyun complained depressedly: "Mom, am I your daughter? How can a mother teach her daughter these things?"
Qiu's mother said angrily, "What do you know? I'm telling you this because I'm your biological mother. Let me tell you, even though you seem to have all the best conditions, good men are very hard to come by in this world."
"If you don't act decisively, and someone else takes Xiao Xia away from you, you won't even have anywhere to cry."
"Oh! I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going back to my room to sleep." Qiu Mengyun finally understood why Xia Tian wanted to take her away. Her mother was in such a state that even she, her own daughter, couldn't stand it.
When Xiatian woke up, it was already past ten o'clock the next morning.
He was still wondering why Qiu Mengyun was so nice today and didn't even come to call him for dinner when he heard a loud quarrel coming from downstairs.
Xiatian simply washed up and went downstairs with curiosity.
Just as he reached the stairs, he heard Qiu Mengyun angrily say, "Humph! This is my own business. Whatever I want to do is my freedom and you have no right to interfere."
Xia Tian thought she was arguing with Qiu Liming and quickly tried to persuade her, "Mengyun, what's wrong? What happened? Don't be anxious, just talk it over. I believe that uncle and auntie are not unreasonable people. Let's talk calmly and we will definitely find a solution to the problem."
"Woo woo woo! Xia Tian, you're awake. Can you take me away from here? Let's go back to the Magic City. I don't want to stay in Hangzhou anymore."
Seeing Xia Tian coming over, Qiu Mengyun threw herself into Xia Tian's arms with a look of grievance, like a bullied child who finally found his parents.
Looking at Qiu Mengyun crying in his arms, Xia Tian felt an uncontrollable pain in his heart.
He patted her back gently and wiped the tears from her cheeks with his hands.
"Okay, it's okay, let's stop crying for now! Tell me what happened, I will definitely help you."
"It's fine if you want to go back to the Magic City. I can take you back anytime. But before we go back, we still have to finish dealing with things here. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat or sleep well when you return to the Magic City."
After comforting Qiu Mengyun, Xia Tian turned to Qiu Liming and asked, "Uncle Qiu, I just came down and don't know the situation very well. Can you tell me what happened?"
Looking at his daughter crying in Xia Tian's arms, Qiu Liming felt embarrassed and distressed.
He smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is indeed my fault. Mengyun's grandfather just called and asked me why I broke off the engagement with the Ye family."
"But I had no idea about this. Later, Mengyun said that she was the one who broke off the engagement. When her grandfather found out, he was furious. He insisted that this was an engagement he had made with the old man of the Ye family and it couldn't be canceled at will. Now he's forcing Mengyun to break up with you and be with that kid from the Ye family."
"Mengyun was arguing with her grandfather on the phone. Her grandfather was also very angry and was rushing over here right now."
"I just wanted her to pretend to break up with you first, considering that her grandfather is old and in poor health, to temporarily appease that kid Ye Wudao for a while. After I convince his grandfather, you two can get back together. But this girl didn't agree, so she started to quarrel with me."
Mother Qiu was obviously on Qiu Mengyun's side. She said coldly, "Hmph! How dare you say that? Tell me about that lousy idea you came up with. Is that what a father should say?"
After figuring out the whole story, Xia Tian did not judge or accuse Qiu Liming of being right or wrong.
Instead, he looked at Qiu Mengyun who was still lying on his shoulder, smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, isn't it just that your grandfather doesn't agree? Didn't the old lady of the Ye family also disagree before? We still solved it anyway."
"I believe that Grandpa Qiu is a reasonable man. As long as we communicate with him properly, there will definitely be a satisfactory solution."
"Hmph! Stop flattering me, kid. You've guessed wrong this time. I'm an unreasonable old man." As Xia Tian finished his words, he heard an obviously angry voice coming from outside the door.
Xia Tian looked up and saw an energetic old man in a Tang suit walking in from the door.
"Dad, don't worry. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly." Seeing his father coming, Qiu Liming quickly stood up to greet him.
Xia Tian also greeted politely, "Hello, Grandpa Qiu, I'm Mengyun's boyfriend, Xia Tian. I was planning to visit you with Mengyun today, but I didn't expect you to come first. I'm really sorry."
Old Master Qiu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to apologize. Even if you went today, I wouldn't let you in. I don't care what your relationship with Meng Yun is now. Anyway, the only grandson-in-law I recognize is the Ye family kid."
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave as soon as possible to avoid the embarrassment of being kicked out by me."
Qiu Mengyun was unhappy when she saw her grandfather starting to make things difficult for Xia Tian as soon as he came in.
She released Xia Tian's hand and said in a serious tone, "Grandpa, let me tell you clearly here. I don't care who you choose as your grandson-in-law. I only have one boyfriend, and that's Xia Tian."
"If you really want to kick him out, I'll go with him."
"You...you...are you really going to abandon me, your grandpa, for the sake of this brat in front of you?" Old Master Qiu pointed at Qiu Mengyun and asked in a trembling voice.
Qiu Mengyun said without showing any weakness: "Grandpa, you are wrong. It's not that I don't want you anymore. It's that you don't want me, your granddaughter, for an outsider like Ye Wudao."
"But don't worry, no matter how you treat me, I'm still willing to acknowledge you as my grandfather. After a hundred years, I will definitely come back to mourn you."
Qiu Mengyun's words were so destructive that Old Man Qiu was so angry that his body began to tremble.
"Okay, okay! You think I've lived too long, and you want to curse me to death, right?"
"Qiu Liming, look at this precious daughter you raised."
Qiu Liming, who was named by his father, was in a dilemma at the moment.
On one side is his biological father, and on the other side is his biological daughter. No matter who he helps, he will offend the other.
I could only stand in the middle and try to smooth things over: "Dad, don't be angry. Mengyun said those words in anger, don't take them seriously. Just because she's still young, don't argue with her."
