Clang.
Qin Yi blinked and saw old lady Fang kick over the small stool in front of her. She put her hands on her hips and stood in front of Mrs. Qin, Fang Yingxue.
The old ladyâs face was full of anger, and her eyes were wide open.
âWhat did you say just now? You want to call the police and have them arrest Yiyi?â
âGo ahead and report it now.â
The old lady was full of vigor.
Not to mention Fang Yingxue, who was her daughter, even Qin Jiatong, who was by her side, was shocked.
She began to stutter as she spoke.
âMom⦠Mom, donât be angry. Yingxue just said it casuallyâ¦â
âMom? What mom? I donât have a daughter like you.â
Old Lady Fang didnât even glance at Qin Jiatong. Her fingers were about to poke Fang Yingxueâs face. âYouâre already an adult, and you have the nerve to argue with a child? No, what has our family done to you? Itâs clearly you who are bullying our familyâs good-natured, easy-going, soft-hearted, and pitiful wretches who donât have a father or mother to dote on them. I say, why are you all so black-hearted? Father and mother, those two unworthy things, throwing a good child into the countryside and not caring about it is already detestable enough, right? But all of you, tall, beautiful, and well-dressed, actually came to our countryside to bully children!â
âLet me tell you, if this old lady doesnât beat you today, my surname wonât be Xiang.â
Oh, Xiang was Old Lady Fangâs surname.
At this moment, she was humming and cursing at Fang Yingxue, her eyes still searching everywhere.
Looking at her expression, was she looking for something to beat people with?
Fang Yingxue was shocked and anxious. She hated Old Lady Fang, who was her mother, for making her lose face in front of her husband.
âMom, what nonsense are you spouting? Iâm your daughter!â
âMom? What mom? Donât just randomly recognize your relatives. My muddle-headed daughter is much stronger than you human traffickers.â
âOh right, have you called the police? Arenât you going to call the police? When the time comes, I will say that you are human traffickers and want to kidnap my familyâs obedient, cute, and beautiful eldest granddaughter!â
The old lady looked around and did not see anything else that was convenient to her.
She took two steps forward and picked up the feather duster that Qin Yiyi had placed to the side. She lightly tapped the back of her hand twice.
She raised her hand and struck at Fang Yingxue.
âYou dare to come to our house to snatch people? Are you bullying our family of orphans?â
âI will beat you to death, you black-hearted scum! I will beat you to death!â
The feather duster landed on her body, and it really hurt.
Fang Yingxue immediately gasped and nearly fainted from anger.
âDad, Whatâs going on with Mom? Do you want to take care of mom or not?â
On the other side, Qin Jiatong was still rejoicing in her heart. Fortunately, she hadnât spoken just now, and the old lady hadnât attacked her.
She had only taken two steps back, thinking of avoiding the fire from Old Lady Fang.
Who would have thought that his actions would attract the old ladyâs firepower? Old Lady Fangâs feather duster turned.
It flew toward Qin Jiatong, who was on the other side, âShe looks tall, strong, and decent, but sheâs actually a wolf in human skin. Sheâs not a thing. Youâre such an adult. Canât you find some work to do? Why did you have to come out and swindle children? Youâre completely devoid of conscience and lack great virtue. Today, on behalf of the people, I must beat you to death!â
Qin Jiatong, who had been slapped several times for no reason, was speechless. ââ¦â
Thereâs no room to reason with her!
Fortunately, Old Master Fang had rushed over at this moment. He coaxed Old Lady Fang nicely and repeatedly assured her that Qin Yiyi was waiting for her at home. He snatched the feather duster from Old Lady Fangâs hands. After coaxing Old Lady Fang, he sat down on the sofa and glared at the family of three whose faces were darker than the bottom of a pot. âWhatâs the matter? Are you still not leaving because you want to stand there and get beaten up again?â
âDad, just keep pampering my mom. One day, she will kill people and start fires because of you!â
Hearing this, Old Master Fang laughed coldly.
âYour mom is my wife. If I donât pamper her, will I pamper you? I want to pamper you, but look at you now. From head to toe, which part of you gives me the reason to pamper you and feel sorry for you? Pamper you so much that you donât come home for a few years, donât call for no reason, and treat your mom and I as if we were dead? Pamper you so much that you leave your own child in the countryside for more than ten years and donât pay attention to it? Spoil you by letting your children live alone outside after youâve taken them over?â
âYou can go as far away as you can.â
He didnât want to suddenly be unable to resist giving her another beating!
âMom, Dad, itâs not convenient for Grandpa and Grandma at the moment. Theyâre still angry. Letâs let elder sister accompany them properly first and persuade them. Later, when Grandpa and Grandma are less angry, weâll come and visit them again, right?â It was Qin Jiatong who spoke, her voice soft and weak. With a hint of softness and naivety, she said, âGrandpa, donât be angry and ruin your health. My parents are so busy that they canât take care of the house all day long. I usually live alone tooâ¦â?So, what did you say about letting Qin Yiyi live outside by himself? I also live like this.?Of course, sometimes when she spoke, she really didnât need to point it out. It was more proper to let people think for themselves.
Qin Jiatong deeply understood this logic.
After saying such low-key words, she gently tugged at Fang Yingxue, who was on the verge of breaking down.
âMom, letâs go first?â
âYes, yes, yes. Dad, then you take care of mom first. Tongtong, and I will come back to see you guys when itâs convenient for you.â
In her heart, she was thinking that she would never come again.
Even if she were beaten to death, she wouldnât come!
Yes, even if she were beaten to death, she would definitely not come!
âSister, then Iâll have to trouble you to take care of Grandpa and Grandma. Remember the number at home. If thereâs anything, you can call at any time. Donât carry all the burden by yourself. Weâre family after all.â Her last sentence was a little light, however, Qin Yiyi could hear the thick mockery and ridicule in her words.
Thatâs right. In the previous life and in this life, they were never from the same family, okay?
She looked deeply at Qin Jiatong.
It was just a glance, but in the next moment, the corner of her eyes twitched.
Qin Jiatong was actually facing death recently?
But that was impossible.
Not to mention that Qin Jiatong was the big winner in her previous life, after she died, she and Lou Minghui were still alive and well.
In this life, the moment she came back, she gave Qin Jiatong a look.
Great wealth and honor!
At that time, Qin Yiyi had even ridiculed in her heart,?âThis god, he really didnât have eyes and isnât fair. How could someone like Qin Jiatong have the sign of great wealth and honor?â
But in fact, she really did!
Until this moment, when she actually saw the sign of death on Qin Jiatongâs face?
Although it wasnât a sign of certain death.
But it was the kind of sign where one would die nine times out of ten.
Qin Yiyi pondered for a moment in her heart before looking at Qin Jiatong, âYour luck has been extremely bad recently. Your impression is black and your eyes are green. Itâs a sign of death. I suggest that you donât leave the country or the Shanghai market for the time being. Even if you go out, donât take a plane or a private carâ¦â She stopped and grinned at the other party. âI said it casually. Itâs up to you whether you believe it or not.â
Qin Jiatongâs face was a little dark.
Was she cursing her?!
âDo yourself a favor and curse your own sister. Iâve never seen a sister like you.â
Qin Yiyi shrugged at the mother and daughter pair and lowered her head to drink tea.
She had already reached her limit by reminding them just now.
If it werenât for the fact that Qin Jiatong was really in trouble, her father and mother would definitely pester her again.
She wouldnât say anything to Qin Jiatong!
However, she had already said so much. If Qin Jiatong didnât believe herâ¦
Then it was her life.
She smiled and looked at Old Lady Fang, who was glaring at her like a tiger.
âGrandma, Iâ¦â
âWhatâs wrong, Whatâs wrong? Did these people bully you again? Donât be afraid. Donât be afraid. Grandma will protect us, Yiyi.â
Old Lady Fang ran over with a whoosh.
She stared at Qin Jiatong and the others as if she was facing a great enemy.
Her gaze and actions always made Qin Jiatong feel that this person in front of her was going to jump over and chase after her in the next moment!
Fortunately, she didnât hit her with a feather duster!
Some of them couldnât stand and wanted to leave. Qin Jiatong also wanted to leave.
The father and daughter looked at each other in midair. Qin Jiatong gently tugged at the corner of Fang Yingxueâs clothes.
âMom, letâs not make Grandpa and Grandma angry here. If thereâs anything, letâs go home first.â
âOh, right, right. Letâs go home. Letâs go home first.â
She didnât want to stand here and say something wrong that would make her mother jump up and chase after her!
Until Qin Jiatong and the other two left.
Old Lady Fang looked at them and suddenly exclaimed. She looked at Qin Yiyi and Old Master Fang in confusion.
âDid a guest come to our house just now? Why do I feel like someone was here?â
Old Man Fang didnât even blink. âThe neighbors came to borrow something.â
âOh, thatâs what I thought. We are all neighbors, so we have to maintain good relations. Yiyi, if someone wants to borrow something, we can let them borrow whatever we have. As neighbors, we canât be stingy, understand?â
âUnderstood, Grandma.â
Old Lady Fang was very satisfied with Qin Yiyiâs attitude, and she obediently praised her again.
Then, she yawned and waved at the two of them.
âIâm a little tired, so Iâm going to sleep for a while. Call me when you eat. Oh right, Yiyi. There are human traffickers outside, so you canât go out, understand?â
âOkay, Iâll stay at home and guard Grandma.â
âBe good.â
Old Lady Fang returned to her room, and Qin Yiyi helped her pull up the quilt to make sure that she was fast asleep.
She frowned slightly.
She reached out to help Old Lady Fang feel her pulse. It was very normal.
Looking at Old Lady Fangâs quiet sleeping face, she smiled. She believed that she would definitely be able to make Grandma recover very quickly!
Shang Jingheng came over at ten in the evening.
He drove alone.
He parked the car and went upstairs with ease.
Qin Yiyi knew it was him the moment she heard the knock on the door. Old Master Fang knew it, but a strange look flashed through his eyes.
It was only the child-like Old Lady Fang who stood up happily. âIâll go open the door, Iâll go open the door. It must be a gift for us, a red packet.â
Qin Yiyi had told her in the evening that he wanted to give out red packets during the New Year.
She hadnât expected the old lady to remember and buy her excuse now.
Moreover, when she opened the door, Old Lady Fang bowed to Shang Jingheng.
âHappy New Year. Congratulations on giving out a red packet. The bigger the red packet, the bigger the fortune in the coming year.â
Shang Jingheng, who was standing at the door with one foot in and one foot out, ââ¦â
He was speechless.
You are an elder.
You are Yiyiâs grandmother. Although you arenât really my grandmother.
But!
She was even more respected than many of the Shang familyâs elders, but this scene..
As he thought about it, he quickly avoided her.
âGrandmother, you canât do that. I should be the one paying New Yearâs greetings to you.â
âDonât pay new yearâs greetings, I want a red packet.â She was very stubborn about red packets, so no one could be perfunctory with her!
At some point, Qin Yiyi had run over and wrapped her arms around Old Lady Fangâs, her face full of ridicule as she nodded.
âYes, yes, Grandma. We want a red packet. If he doesnât give us a red packet, we wonât let him in.â
âYes, what he said is correct!â
Old Master Fang looked at the young man who was standing there, the head of the illustrious Shang family.
He couldnât help but secretly praise his heart.
âThe rumors said that this person had a heart of stone. He had always been a cold-blooded, merciless person who turned hostile and refused to acknowledge others!â
Although he had seen that the way he treated his granddaughter was different from outsiders during this period of time.
But!
Who knew where his bottom line was? What if they said something that made him turn hostile?
Qin Yiyi didnât care what her grandfather was thinking. She just stretched out her fair, jade-like palm and placed it in front of Shang Jingheng.
âWhat? Big Brother Shang isnât so stingy that he canât bear to give away a red packet, right?â
If that was really the case, she would have to consider whether she should go out and earn more money and then transfer some pocket money to him.
He was someone she had acknowledged.
She would definitely raise him herself!
On the other side, Shang Jinghengâs gaze gradually became deep and serene. In the end, his face was filled with a strange expression.
Just when Qin Yiyi thought he really didnât have any money.
Suddenly, he reached out and took out two black cards and placed them in the hands of Qin Yiyi and Granny Fang.
âThese are two international universal bank debit cards. You can spend the money as you wish. If you donât have enough, you can tell me later.â
Didnât earning money mean spending it on the person he valued?
The little girl was his acknowledged younger sister.
Naturally, he had to spend his money!
