Like I said, this is between the two of us.

Li Tingshens tone was firm.

Ye Jianyun narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while. Dont you dislike her? I have the intention to entrust her to you, but if you think its too much, I wont force you. Most importantly, I dont want to give you another chance to make her sad.

Li Tingshen didnt say anything, but his meaning was clear and firm.

At this moment, Uncle Ye came in with Ye Ze behind him.

Both father and son looked unhappy.

Sir.

Ye Jianyun turned his gaze to Uncle Ye.

Whats wrong?

Uncle Ye glanced at Li Tingshen and said,

I just went to the hotel to understand the situation. Because of the incident, the banquet ended midway. Young Master Qins personal actions were exposed and the Qin familys company is trying their best to handle the public relations. However, there were many authoritative media outlets present as witnesses. The public relations effect shouldnt be good. The results tomorrow morning will be clearer.

These words seemed to be directed at Li Tingshen.

This was the outcome that Li Tingshen wanted the most.

Even if Uncle Ye didnt say anything, he understood.

Ye Jianyun snorted lightly.

She wasnt surprised by this outcome.

One more thing, sir

Uncle Ye hesitated for a while, his face more serious than before.

Speak.

Yes. Uncle Ye nodded. According to the receptionist at the hotel back then, Young Master Qin wanted to force himself on Miss Xuer. Later on, Miss Xuer struggled to no avail and called Miss for help. But in the end

Ye Jianyun suddenly raised his head, his expression sinister and terrifying.

What happened in the end?

Its probably because Miss Xuer was too afraid back then. When she saw Young Master Qin dragging Miss into the room, she ran away

Ye Jianyun suddenly stood up from the sofa!

After staring at Uncle Ye for a long time, she laughed angrily. You said that Qingqiu saved Liang Xuer, but she abandoned Qingqiu and ran away alone?!

Uncle Ye rarely saw Ye Jianyun lose his temper, so he didnt dare to say anything.

Ye Ze stepped forward and took out his phone.

This is the surveillance video sent to me by the hotel. It should be clear at a glance as to what exactly happened.

Ye Jianyun s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone away.

Ye Ze retracted his hand and looked at Li Tingshen.

I believe that even without looking at the surveillance cameras, you probably know if Miss Liang Xuer did it on purpose.

Li Tingshens face was cold as he walked to Ye Jianyuns side.

In the surveillance footage, Liang Xuer was helping Qin Jianjia into the room. The two of them were entangled at the door. Ye Qingqiu walked into the resting area barefooted and helped Liang Xuer out with her high heels.

Later on, when Qin Jianjia grabbed Ye Qingqiu, she turned to look at Liang Xuer. The calmness in her eyes made the hearts of the people watching the video sink.

What was natural?

Ye Qingqiu felt that it was natural for Liang Xuer to help her when she was threatened.

However, Liang Xuer stood outside the door and watched coldly as Qin Jianjia pestered her. In the end, she shook her head and chose to leave.

Ye Qingqius confused and fearful gaze landed in everyones eyes. Before they could react, she was dragged into the room and the door was slammed shut, completely cutting off all hope.

The screen on her phone started to shake and Ye Jianyuns hand started to tremble uncontrollably. Next, Liang Xuer met the reporters and Li Tingshen. She pretended that she didnt know anything and was about to leave with Li Tingshen.

With a bang, Ye Jianyun threw his phone on the coffee table.

Wheres Liang Xuer? Wheres Liang Xuer?!

His deep voice was like a bomb exploding in the living room.

Knowing that something had happened tonight, he guessed what Li Tingshen was plotting tonight. As for the fact that the victim had become Qingqiu, he only thought that it was a coincidence.

Unexpectedly, this coincidence was intentional.

Ye Ze said calmly, Ive already sent someone to look for her.

Outside the door, two cars stopped.

Liang Xuer was brought out of the car first, followed by Old Master.

After getting out of the car, she rushed into the living room without even looking at Liang Xuer.

Wheres Qingqiu?!

Just as Ye Ze finished speaking, Old Master Yes anxious voice sounded.

She asked Ye Qingqiu about her condition.

Ye Jianyun wanted to restrain her anger in front of her father, but she couldnt.

Uncle Ye hurriedly said, Miss is already resting. Master, dont worry.

Seeing so many people in the living room, the old man asked again, What happened?

None of them spoke for a while.

Ye Jianyun saw Liang Xuer coming in from behind. Her already ugly face darkened even more.

He looked coldly at Liang Xuer as she walked closer. His hands were crossed in front of him, and his face was filled with nervousness and avoidance.

He walked slowly to her and his cold gaze lingered on Liang Xuers face for a long time.

In the end, he slapped her hard.

Liang Xuer fell to the ground.

Old Master frowned. What are you doing? Are you crazy?!

Ye Jianyun stood rooted to the ground and looked down at Liang Xuer. She pointed at Liang Xuer with a trembling finger.

Ungrateful thing

Blood flowed from the corner of Liang Xuers mouth.

Ye Jianyuns body swayed and Uncle Ye immediately went forward to support him.

Its fine if you dont like each other. Just take it that Ive raised an ingrate for ten years. Its good that you dont remember me. If you think that this is what you deserve as the young lady of the Ye family, thats up to you! Just based on the facts, Liang Xuer, how did you convince yourself to abandon her back then?! She was saving you, but you deliberately abandoned her! Are you even human?!

Liang Xuers tears fell to the ground. She covered her face but couldnt say a word.

Do you think you can hide this? Or do you think that even if something happens to Qingqiu, I wont do anything to you?!

From these words, the old man could tell what was going on. When he spoke again, his voice was deep. What happened? Why did Xuer abandon Qingqiu?

Ye Jianyun pointed at Liang Xuer. She, this ungrateful thing

He wanted to say something, but he couldnt because of his anger.

Ye Ze went forward and handed the phone to the old man.

This is the hotels surveillance footage. Youll understand once you see it.

Liang Xuer trembled and looked up abruptly, her gaze fixed on Li Tingshen.

Li Tingshen looked at her expressionlessly.

He remained calm and indifferent.

On the other hand, Liang Xuer felt extremely ashamed.

The old man didnt finish watching the video and threw the phone in front of Liang Xuer.

Do you think doing this will do you any good other than ruining Qingqiu? All these years, did your uncle owe you anything? Or did Qingqiu do something to you that you have to repay them like this?

How is he raising a human? Hes raising an ingrate, a snake that eats humans!

The humiliation and accusations made Liang Xuer feel ashamed.

One was her so-called uncle and the other was her grandfather.

The two people closest to her in this world had insulted her because of Ye Qingqiu.

She stood up slowly and said, I was wrong. Cant I be wrong? Youre all right. Im an ingrate whos worse than a beast!

Ye Qingqiu has her biological fathers love and grandfathers love. If anything happens, all of you can seek justice for her. Im different. Ye Qingqiu has suffered today and your world is about to collapse! I was the one who was insulted in the surveillance footage! Why havent you mentioned it at all?

The muscles on Ye Jianyuns face twitched.

Stop twisting the truth! Qingqiu saved you!

Thats why its only right for me to be bullied today, said Liang Xuer calmly. Im not trying to absolve myself. Its my fault for abandoning Ye Qingqiu and running away on my own today. Its not wrong to say that Im selfish. Now that things have come to this, Ill admit to everything. So, what else do you want to do? Come at me together. Ill pay the price for my actions.

Ye Jianyun trembled with anger.

She had been certain from the start that he couldnt do anything to her. That was why she had done such a heartless thing.

She was heartless, but as an elder, he couldnt be disloyal.

This is between me and her. Dad, Grandpa, dont interfere.

A calm and indifferent voice sounded from the stairs. Ye Qingqiu leaned against the railing in her pajamas and looked at the messy living room.

It was impossible for her to not hear the loud noise below.

Li Tingshen looked up and saw Ye Qingqiu walking downstairs barefooted.

His brows twitched as he walked over to pick her up.

Ye Qingqiu looked at him and asked, Did I say that youre really annoying today?

Li Tingshen said in a low and hoa.r.s.e voice, Youre not wearing shoes.

Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and allowed Li Tingshen to hug her. Her gaze landed on Liang Xuer.

Their gazes met and Liang Xuer felt embarra.s.sed again.

Hug closer. I have a few words to say to Liang Xuer.

His eyes were on Liang Xuer, but as soon as she finished speaking, Li Tingshen carried her and walked towards her.

His obedience made Liang Xuer take a few steps back.

There was a faint smile in Ye Qingqius eyes. Did Li Tingshen just ask me to break up with him?

Li Tingshens expression changed and he tightened his grip on her.

If I told him that I wanted to break up with him, do you think he would choose to be with you?

Liang Xuer bit her lips and clenched her fists tightly.

Ye Qingqiu turned to look at Li Tingshen. Do you know how to?

I wont.

Ye Qingqiu looked at Liang Xuer and said,

To be honest, before tonight, I might not have asked him this question for the rest of my life. Because I wasnt confident that he would say no. But now that Ive asked, do you know why?

Because he probably feels that he owes me something. Im fine now, so I can relax. Im the one who suffered tonight. If it were you, his guilt towards me would be transferred to you. If you want to use his guilt to get him to be with you, I think its possible.

Liang Xuers eyes widened in confusion.

Why

Because Im his girlfriend, but I have to be your escort. So tonight, if anything happens to either of us, he cant escape responsibility. Why do you think he feels guilty?

The possibility in Liang Xuers heart was shattered by Ye Qingqius words.

Ye Jianyun frowned at her.

Even now, she had to keep Li Tingshen in the dark.

However, if Liang Xuer knew the truth, it would be troublesome for her even though it was Li Tingshen.

The premise was that she didnt want to be separated from Li Tingshen.

But thats another matter. Since you threw me down tonight, I naturally have to continue to settle scores with you. I bear grudges. Dont let me catch you easily.

Can we forget about it tonight? Im feeling terrible now. I cant sleep with you guys arguing.

Grandpa and Daddy couldnt kill her.

But if she didnt appear, the situation today wouldnt end well.

Im going upstairs to sleep. After all, you personally brought her out. Its only natural for you to send her back. If you plan to send her back, let me down.

Li Tingshen glanced at her silently before carrying her upstairs.

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and allowed him to carry her upstairs.
