117 heard Xie Wen Na and Qi old lady's conversation on the stairs

  Yu Qianying couldn't help but glance at him, and unexpectedly, Qi Chengzhi would also personally do such a thing.

  It's not a big deal, but it fell on Qi Cheng's body, and somehow it looks so condescending.

  The slender fingers of Bai Xi's hand grasped the teapot, and she always felt very elegant.

  "I'm the leading actress, I'm old, my energy and physical strength are not good, this kind of play is just right for me. My acting skills are here, I don't care about the weight of the role, I can shine in any role." The old lady said confidently, but suddenly her expression changed, she looked at Qi Chengzhi with a suspicious face, "Are you trying to bribe me?"

  Zi Cheng didn't deny it, but just smiled faintly and said: "There will be more of this kind of play in the future."

  The old lady was certain that her grandson was bribing her with candied dates.

  Just as he was about to speak, the doorbell rang again.

  Yu Qianying furrowed her brow, why were there so many people today, what were they doing crowding in here for no reason.

  I don't know who came this time. Yu Qianying got up again and went to the door, opened it and saw the person standing at the door, Yu Qianying's expression suddenly turned cold.

  "Qianying." Xiahui called out, her expression also awkward, wanting to smile but unable to lift the corners of her mouth. She glanced at the several pairs of shoes placed by the door, both men's and women's, "Are there guests at home?"

  "It's been so many years since we last met, what kind of big wind could have blown you to my doorstep?" Yu Qiangying said coldly, earlier she was still somewhat polite to the old lady, but towards Xia Wennan, her attitude was almost the same as towards Liang Lihua.

  "If you have guests, then I'll come another day." Xie Wen Na felt a bit awkward, she had received the old lady's phone call when she was on her way there.

  She also thought about it overnight and finally made this decision, and there is still a check in the bag.

  To make up her mind, she didn't sleep all night. When she came out, there were still thick shadows under her eyes, and it took a lot of concealer to cover them up.

  She subconsciously pinched her bag, although she couldn't feel the thin check's existence, yet somehow sensed its weight.

  "How did I hear Wen Na's voice?" The old lady's voice came from inside, and after a few seconds, Qi Old Lady walked out.

  "Mom, how are you here?"

  Mrs. Qi looked at Xia Wennan, then at Yu Qianying's expression, and she didn't seem to be here to visit relatives, but rather to break up the couple.

  Then the old lady came out, pulling Xiaowen's arm and said to Yu Qianying: "Xiao Yu, I'll talk to my daughter-in-law for a while."

  As he spoke, he took her to the next floor and heard Yu Qianying closing the door.

  "Mom, how are you here?" Xue Wen Na was pulled by the old lady, her hand tightly grasping the bag.

  Just now I heard an old lady calling Yu Qianying "Little Yu", and it didn't sound unfamiliar at all.

  "I haven't even asked you yet, what are you doing here?" The old lady retorted.

  Seeing Xia Wennan lower her face, her mouth opened and closed but she couldn't say a word, with a guilty look on her face. The old lady's eyes narrowed, "Don't tell me you're here to ask Song Yu's parents to persuade Song Yu to break up with Cheng Zhi."

  "Mom, even if they're together now, something will go wrong later." Xia Wennan lowered her voice, "Even if we don't care about what others think, but..."

  "What's going on?" The old lady was anxious and angry, seeing that her future granddaughter-in-law was pregnant, and her great-grandchild was not far away, what was Xia Wennan doing here?

  "Aren't you just fond of Yu Keyao? What kind of family is that?! A bunch of people who look down on others!" The old lady got angry whenever she mentioned Yu Keyao's family.

  "I'm not dressed up today, and I didn't put on makeup. As a result, that Yu Ke Yao's mother, what was her name again?" The old lady said, hearing Xia Wen Na quietly adding "Liang Li Hua" beside her, the old lady waved her hand carelessly, not paying attention to details.

  "Who cares what her name is, she bumped into the red wine box that Little Fan was carrying and suddenly became unreasonable, saying we have no quality, with a scolding tone, not knowing who has no quality! She thinks I'm just an ordinary old lady, so she can treat me like this? If she knew my identity, even if I pushed her down the stairs, with her selfish eyes, she would still smile and apologize for blocking my way!"

  "I'm telling you, don't even think about forcing my grandson to marry a woman he doesn't like. It's only been a few years since Cheng Ze passed away, have you forgotten so quickly? If he and Song Yu truly love each other and live happily together, what business is it of yours? They're the ones living their lives, not those outsiders. Can those outsiders give you grandchildren? Fine, even if you did manage to break them up and force a woman on Cheng Shi, they might still get married in the end. But with Cheng Shi's temperament, if he doesn't like someone, he just won't. Are you going to make him live such an unhappy life?"

  "He's afraid to even touch a woman he doesn't like, so when can I hold my great-grandchild? The couple has no feelings for each other, they quarrel every day, the daughter-in-law is always making trouble, it's really frustrating!" The old lady said, her eyes reddening, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her eyes, then blew her nose, saying "You say, if another tragedy like Cheng Ze's happens again, what can we do?"

  "I'm already at this age, do you still want me to worry about the younger generation's affairs and have a heart attack? Cheng Zhi is our family's most promising child, he will be the future master of the house, and in the future, the Qi family will rely on him. He can't even find a wife according to his own wishes, it's too pitiful. I think about it, and feel sorry for the children of the Qi family, one by one, except for Cheng Yue, none of them can live their lives as they wish."

  "Everyone else thinks they're born with a silver spoon, getting whatever they want from a young age, and are so envious. But I actually feel sorry for them - how did they end up with the Qis as their family, and parents like you? Let's not even talk about Cheng Ze being dead, but why did Cheng Lin bring Yu Xuan back, without even knowing who his mother was? Why did he break up with his fiancée from before? Wasn't it all because of your meddling, trying to arrange a marriage for him, when neither of them liked each other, and in the end it still ended in tragedy?"

  "He's already 35 now, and with great difficulty, he finally has a girlfriend you guys want to break them up, what kind of heart do you have? Are you his mother or not?"

  Xia Wen Na also felt wronged, her eyes turned red, her lips trembled, and she choked with sobs: "Mom, what are you talking about? Listening to this is so heartbreaking! I was pregnant for ten months, giving birth to him was more painful than giving birth to Cheng Ji, isn't he my own son? I want to give him the best, can I stand in the way of his happiness?"

  Xia Wen Na sniffled and pulled out her phone from her bag, finding the photos she took last night to show to the old lady, "Mom, you see for yourself."

  The old lady sniffled, suspiciously took over Xiaowenna's mobile phone. Although the old lady was advanced in years, she was still quite familiar with these digital products. At least smartphones were no problem for her, and she spent all day browsing WeChat Moments.

  The old lady's fingers slid across the screen a few times, and it suddenly changed color.

  "Where did this come from?" The old lady asked in a low voice, her expression extremely stern.

  "Where else could it be from? What ability do I have to get this in my hands? This was last night, Cheng personally showed me and I took a photo of it before he left." Xia Wennai took the phone handed over by the old lady and put it back in her bag.

  "Mom, even if we don't stop them now, can this matter be hidden forever? What if Song Yu finds out in the future? Can she still continue to be with Cheng Zhi? Even the Song family won't let it go easily! When the two get married and Song Yu finds out about this, she'll make a fuss and want a divorce. Mom, will they be happy then?"

  The old lady suddenly felt a headache, she was getting older and couldn't stand these troublesome things. She pressed her fingers against her temples and started humming "aiyo aiyo".

  "So I think, rather than making a big fuss in the future and hurting each other, it's better to part ways now while our feelings aren't that deep," said Xia Wennan. "This matter, if you say it, is still Qi family owing an apology to Song family. In a bigger sense, it's us Qi family owing an apology to Song family. Mom, you tell me, knowing the outcome in the future, do we still want them to be together?"

  The old lady is now very flustered and doesn't care about being dirty anymore, so she weakly leans against the handrail of the stairs behind her, constantly rubbing her temples.

  "Did you say this was given to you by Master Cheng himself?" asked the old lady.

  Xia Wen Na nodded and said, "He means to make me feel guilty, thinking that I owe it to the Song family, so I shouldn't make things difficult for Song Yu anymore and stop them from being together. I do feel like I owe it to the Song family, so today...today I brought a check, thinking of letting them restart the company, even if it's not as good as before, it's still much better than now."

  "But I'm afraid that in the future, things won't be able to be hidden anymore. What can we do? Won't both the Qi and Song families be thrown into chaos?"

  The old lady took a deep breath, and then let it out heavily. As the former mistress of the Qi family, her expression turned severe, her eyes intimidating, making Xia Wennan somewhat afraid to look directly at her.

  "Since Chengzhi has taken the initiative to tell you, it means he trusts that as his mother, you won't betray him. Actually, if you really want to break them up, just reveal the truth directly, and I believe no matter what Song Yu's attitude is, her parents will never allow her to be in contact with Chengzhi again." The old lady said.

  "Mother, you're right. I won't betray Cheng Zhi." Xia Wennan lowered her head and let out a worried sigh.

  "Since that's the case, let's just pretend we don't know about this matter and never mention it again. Delete all the photos on your phone too, so you won't accidentally show them to others." The old lady stared at Xia Wenna, asking her to take out her phone right now and delete the pictures in front of her before she could feel at ease.

  "Alright, you can go now." The old lady waved her hand lightly and dismissed him.

  "Mom, what's this—” Xie Wennai looked at the old lady in surprise, her mouth agape and unable to speak.

  "Since he chose to do so in the first place, he should have anticipated the consequences and be capable of bearing them. Now that he still chooses to be with Song Yu, he must be able to bear it." The old lady looked at Xia Wenna deeply, "He is your son, don't you even understand this much?"

  "Mother, are you still willing for them to be together?" Xia Wennan asked in surprise, having understood the old lady's meaning.

  Mrs. Qi puckered her lips, looked at Xia Wennan for a while, and then said: "You object, have you objected? Since you don't plan to tell Song Yu about this matter, what reason do you have to object? Even if you told Song Yu, would Cheng really give up? It's better to keep it secret, everyone will be happy."

  Xia Wen Na wanted to say more, but was dismissed by the old lady without giving her a chance. As she was leaving, the old lady called out to her and warned, "Next time you come, come as a member of this family! And hurry up and tear up that check in your bag!"

  The old lady went back, and there was no one behind her. Yu Qianying also found it strange that Xia Wennan had come and gone.

  The old lady explained and said: "Let's put it aside for now. His mother remembered that she still had things to do, so she left first. Little Song, Little Yu, let's continue chatting."

  ……

  ……

  Jian Yi sat in the car, his mind full of the conversation he had just heard between Xia Wennan and Qi Lao Tai Tai.

  He was originally listening to Zhou Mingyan say that Song Yu was wrong, and as he spoke, Zhou Mingyan mentioned the matter of coming to deliver the wedding invitation that day.

  In words, it's naturally very impolite.

  He is going on a honeymoon with Qi Chengyue tomorrow, so today he took the opportunity to come and apologize to Song Donglin and Yu Qianying while Qi Chengyue was getting beauty treatments.

  But unexpectedly, just as they were about to arrive at their home, they heard a snippet of conversation between Xia Wennan and Old Lady Qi on the stairs.

  Although from start to finish, neither of them mentioned what Qi Chengzhi did, but from their conversation, it can be heard that Qi Chengzhi did something wrong to the Song family, and this matter was so big that it could threaten his relationship with Song Yu.

  Jian Yi's right hand rested casually on the steering wheel, his left elbow propped against the window frame, and his index finger pressed to his lips as he furrowed his brow in thought.

  Judging from Xia Wen Na and Qi Lao Tai Tai's reactions, what Qi Cheng Zhi did was huge, enough to make the Song family turn against him without hesitation, no matter what they would not agree with his relationship with Song Yu.

  Jian Yi's eyes narrowed, his face suddenly changing color.

  The only possibility he could think of was that it had something to do with the bankruptcy of the Song family.

  That year, the Song family went bankrupt silently and suddenly, nobody knew what exactly happened.

  Is it possible that the Song family's bankruptcy has something to do with Qi Chengzhi?

  Could it be that Qi Cheng is one of the masterminds?

  What's the point of that again?

  Isn't it just to ruin Song Yu and Qi Cheng Ji's engagement?

  At that time, Song Yu and Qi Chengji were engaged. If the Song family went bankrupt, with the attitude of the Qi family at that time, they would not continue the engagement under any circumstances.

  At that time, Qi Chengze was still alive, and the Qi family prioritized their interests. They wouldn't want a daughter-in-law who couldn't bring any benefits to them at all.

  As the youngest son, Ziqi Chengji could only use marriage as a means of advancement.

  Jian Yi's hand under his nose suddenly clenched into a fist. If that was the case, then Qi Chengzhi had been eyeing Song Yu long ago?

  He had been lying in wait for so many years before making his move to pursue Song Yu.

  If so, how terrifying his patience must be!

  His calculations run deep!

  During this time, how many things did Qi Chengzhi calculate, before step by step reaching where he is today?

  Did he really spend so much thought for Song Yu?

  Jian Yi thought it was more and more incredible that someone could set up such a big scene just for one woman.

  Especially this happened on Qi Chengzhi's body.

  The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed, yet at the same time, it felt reasonable. Apart from this, he couldn't think of any other explanation.

  Jian Yi's right hand, which was holding the steering wheel, suddenly tightened, his fingers were also slender and bony, and a network of veins bulged out on the back of his hand.

  His eyes stared unblinkingly, it was unclear who he was competing with, and his eyes were getting redder and redder.

  In the end, he gritted his teeth and punched the steering wheel hard, then took a few deep breaths slowly. His breathing slowed down from the initial trembling rapidity to a gradual calmness before he started the car and left.

  ……

  ……

  The old lady finally stood up and was willing to bid farewell, carrying her bag and holding Yu Qianying's hand. "Little Yu, when you have time, go with Little Song to the old house for a visit. At home, it's usually just me and that old man, quarreling every day is meaningless, you two come and keep me company."

  The old lady said, and then took out the yellow calendar to flip through it. "Ah, the day after tomorrow is a good day for traveling, you two come to my place the day after tomorrow! It just so happens that the day after tomorrow afternoon, we will be practicing square dancing in our area for the competition, you can come with me to dance together, and often walk around my place."

  "Old lady, I—" Yu Qianying wanted to refuse, but the old lady grasped her hand and was especially affectionate, not giving her a chance to refuse.

  "It's settled then, you see my old arms and legs, can't always make me run around here, right? Just climbing the stairs in your house, my waist is almost unbearable." The old lady held her waist and grabbed Qi Chengzhi's arm again, "Grandson come and support me."

  "Well, I'll be off then. You don't have to see me out." The old lady waved her hand, "Chengzhi, walk with me for a bit."

  Zi Chengzhi knew that the old lady had something to say to him alone, otherwise Liu Shu and Xiao Fan would have followed her, and there was no need for him to send them.

  It's not easy to have an ally like Lao Taitai now, and it's hard for Qi Chengzhi to refuse Lao Taitai's request.

  He glanced at Song Yu, who nodded to him. Anyway, looking at Yu Qianying's unpleasant expression, there should be a lot of things to talk about with her alone. Even if Qi Chengzhi stayed, he would be driven away by Yu Qianying.

  Song Yu glanced at Yu Qianying, seeing her with a sullen face, but still couldn't help walking to the front of Qi Chengzhi, pinching his arm to comfort him.

  Seeing her align with Cheng Zhi in such a dependent and intimate manner, Yu Qianying was left with no strength, feeling as if this daughter had already been given away.

  Looking at Song Yu's appearance, she seems to have already fallen in love with Qi Chengzhi, her heart is completely on Qi Chengzhi's side, and it's not something that can be taken back with just a few words.

  At the sight of Chi Cheng's arrival, Song Yu smiled, lowering her head to see her so gentle and obedient, staring at a pair of clear and innocent big eyes, looking up at his gaze filled with dependence, when he looked over, her cheeks still rose with two shallow blushes.

  Unlike Yu Ke Yao, Yu Ke Yao's blushing is too exaggerated, but when Song Yu blushes, it seems like she especially dislikes herself for being so easy to blush, the tangled and contradictory look on her face is particularly interesting.

  Zi Cheng couldn't help but be moved by her, especially wanting to touch her face and kiss her again.

  In front of Yu Qianying and Song Donglin, he could only endure it, his dry and warm palm covering her hand that was supporting his arm, gently pinching it.

  The feeling of his hand being held again was especially good. Since entering the door, he had been afraid of stimulating Yu Qianying too much, and had not made any overly intimate moves with Song Yu, not even holding hands. They sat upright on the sofa, neither of them leaning against each other.

  "I'll send you out." Not caring what Yu Qianying thought, Song Yu held his elegant hand, thumb gently rubbing his slender fingers.
