After Chen Meng’er and the others left, only Qu Haoqiang and his mother were left in the living room. Qu Haoqiang looked at the disheveled and dirty face of his mother, who suddenly looked like she had aged a few years. He felt very upset.

“Mom, why are you doing this?” Qu Haoqiang looked at Han Ying and asked.

“Why? I’m just doing this so that we can have a good life together.” Han Ying looked at Qu Haoqiang and revealed a sad smile.

“Didn’t we have a good life together earlier? Mom, do you have a good life now?” Qu Haoqiang looked at Han Ying and asked in return. “Mom, look at you now. How can you compare to how you were before?” Qu Haoqiang asked. Han Ying lowered her head and her tears fell to the ground. “Mom, I know you did all this for me. But have you ever asked me if what you want to give me is what I want? What I want is very simple. What I want is for the three of us to live happily together. The position of the head of the Qu family? That’s not what I want.”

Qu Haoqiang had told Han Ying these words countless times. However, every time, Han Ying would not listen to him. “I always thought that those were your words to comfort me.” When Han Ying looked up at Qu Haoqiang, her face was full of tears.

Qu Haoqiang’s heart was throbbing with pain.

“Mom, let’s stop here.” Qu Haoqiang felt as if his whole body had been drained of strength. “Stop torturing me. You are no match for Meng’er. If you keep going against Meng’er, you won’t get any benefits. This time, Meng’er will not pursue the matter because of me. However, I can only do so much. She also told me that this is the last time she’ll let you go.” Qu Haoqiang looked at Han Ying. “Mom, I will tell Meng’er that this time, I will personally make arrangements for you. So, please don’t go against Meng’er again. Meng’er doesn’t owe us anything. It has always been you who went against her.”

“Little Miss, do you really intend to let Han Ying off again? Aren’t you afraid that Han Ying will contact the mafia again?” Su Jin asked the moment they stepped out.

If Su Jin had to say it, she couldn’t be lenient with Han Ying.

“Do we need to be afraid of the mafia?” Chen Meng’er asked with a smile.

“Of course not,” Zhou Yunbo answered with a roll of his eyes.

“That’s right.” Chen Meng’er paused for a moment and then continued, “Besides, I’ve said it before. This is the last time. If there’s a next time, I won’t care anymore.”

Since Chen Meng’er had already said so, Su Jin and the others fell silent.

“Eh? Meng’er, you’re here. Your other grandfather lied to me and said that you weren’t at home. I’ll go and settle the score with him now.” While they were talking, Elder Qu suddenly appeared.

“Grandpa.” Elder Qu’s sudden appearance made Chen Meng’er and the others very surprised. Chen Meng’er’s heart was in her throat. If Elder Qu knew that Han Ying was in the Green Gang, who knew what kind of trouble Elder Qu would cause with his fiery temper?

Back when Han Ying had done those things, Elder Qu and Madam Qu were furious. Elder Qu even wanted to hold a gun and shoot Han Ying. If Chen Meng’er hadn’t stopped him, Elder Qu would have really done it.

Chen Meng’er also promised Elder Qu that she would take care of Han Ying.

“I just went out to settle some things and came back. Oh, right, weren’t you playing chess with my other grandfather in the front hall?” Chen Meng’er asked with a smile.

“I’m tired now, so I came out for a stroll. I didn’t expect to run into you. Why are you defending your other grandfather?”

“Grandfather, when have I ever tried to deceive you?” Chen Meng’er saw that it was almost time. She was afraid that Qu Haoqiang would run into Elder Qu when he came out. At that time, she really didn’t know how to explain to Elder Qu the reason why Qu Haoqiang would appear here. “Grandpa, let me accompany you to the front hall. I think that if you don’t go back, my other grandfather will come to cause trouble.”

“Don’t say that. He will really come and cause trouble. I haven’t drunk the tea you made for a long time. Come and make us a pot.” Elder Qu saw Chen Meng’er and was in a good mood. Originally, when he came today, he was told by Elder Liu that Chen Meng’er had gone out to do some business. He was a little disappointed.

“Okay, I’ll go and make it for you now. What do you want to drink today, Oolong or peach tea?” Chen Meng’er asked while holding Elder Qu’s arm.

“Haha, as long as it’s brewed by you, Grandpa will like it.” Elder Qu laughed heartily as he patted Chen Meng’er’s hand.

Chen Meng’er’s living room was not far from Chen Meng’er’s small courtyard. Elder Qu’s laughter was not low, and Qu Haoqiang and Han Ying could hear it clearly.

Hearing Elder Qu’s laughter, Qu Haoqiang’s face instantly turned white. “Grandpa,” he whisper-shouted in surprise. “Mom, you must not let Grandpa see you.”

“Why?” Han Ying asked.

“Grandpa hates you to the bone now. Before, if Meng’er didn’t stop him, Grandpa would have shot you.” When Elder Qu was about to rush out to find Han Ying with his gun, Qu Haoqiang was also there.

At that time, he was so frightened by Elder Qu’s murderous aura that his face turned pale. He wanted to open his mouth to convince him to stop, but in the end, he was unable to do so. Because he knew that if he opened his mouth, with his grandfather’s temper at that time, he would probably want to kill him as well.

“Does he hate me so much?” Han Ying did not expect Elder Qu to hate her so much.

“After what you did, why wouldn’t he hate you?” Qu Haoqiang asked. “Mom, don’t cause any more trouble. Also, don’t push everything on Meng’er. In fact, Meng’er really doesn’t owe us anything. She never wanted to take anything away from us. All of this was because you were possessed by hatred. Besides, if it weren’t for Meng’er, you don’t know what would have happened to you. Mom, just don’t cause any more trouble for me, okay?” Qu Haoqiang was almost pleading.
