Chapter 704 Come to Apologize
For more than a decade, no one has dared to speak to the old lady like that.
She is the head of the Meng family; we should be trying to curry favor with her, not talking back to her.
The old lady tapped the headboard with her cane, her anger almost bursting from her mouth. "This is the Meng family home. What right do you, an outsider, have to interrupt? Believe me, I'll have someone throw you out right now!"
This is not a threat, but... a blatant threat.
Even the east wing belongs to the Meng family's property, so the old lady does have the right to drive Lin Ping away.
Huang Jiayu wanted to plead for him, but she couldn't withstand the pressure from the old lady. She could only hope that Lin Ping would restrain himself.
"I believe you, I believe you completely. But what good will it do if you kick me out? Will Qingge's illness get better immediately? Will she be able to go to Qingfeng Tower to discuss business tomorrow? To tell you the truth, she's faking sleep. If you don't lower your stance, Qingge won't wake up."
Lin Ping was full of roguish charm and didn't care about any old lady.
I'm not only going to act, but I'm also going to tell you that this is acting, what can you do about it?
When you need someone's help, you should lower your stance.
Meng Qingge blinked her beautiful eyes, her heart pounding, unsure whether she should open them.
Lin Ping is such an unreliable fellow. How could he reveal the secret between the two of them?
Isn't this blatant deception of the old lady? How can she possibly maintain her standing in the Meng family after this?
Now that things have come to this, she has figured it out. Since she can force the old lady to come in person, she is not afraid to tear things apart and speak frankly.
She's like a turtle eating a weight; she's determined not to open her eyes.
The two were talking loudly, and even though Meng Qingge was fast asleep, she could hear them, but she didn't open her eyes.
The old lady finally understood; it turned out that Meng Qingge was in cahoots with him.
His expression calmed down, and he asked indifferently, "What do you want?"
"It's very simple. Apologize to Qingge for this matter and guarantee that she will be fully responsible for your business with Qingfeng Tower in the future. If you like to change your mind all the time, I'm sure the owner of Qingfeng Tower will not agree to it."
Lin Ping spoke calmly, having already prepared his explanation.
The old lady had never bowed her head to anyone in her life, so it's a bit... rather simple for her to apologize to her granddaughter now.
"This matter was indeed handled rather hastily by your grandmother. If you have any grievances, feel free to vent them on your grandmother," the old lady said sincerely.
"This old lady is truly remarkable; she's flexible and adaptable. No wonder she holds such power in the Meng family," Lin Ping thought with admiration.
In this feudal society where Confucianism prevailed, dignity was more important than life. For the sake of the Meng family's development, the old lady did not hesitate to apologize to Meng Qingge.
"You brat, how dare you..." Meng Yuanping was furious.
After all, the old lady was his aunt, and he felt ashamed that Lin Ping had insulted her like this.
However, Huang Jiayu abruptly stopped her anger halfway through.
He's my best friend's son. If you're angry with him, it means you're dissatisfied with me. Is this house about to change owners?
Huang Jiayu naturally wouldn't let him succeed.
At that moment, Meng Qingge pretended to cough a few times, then opened her eyes weakly.
"Grandmother, what brings you here?" Meng Qingge tried her best to play the part well to avoid embarrassment.
"Don't worry, from now on, Meng Qingchao will never interfere in Qingfeng Tower's affairs again. If you feel better, go visit Qingfeng Tower in the next couple of days." The old lady's tone was still concerned, but she was furious inside.
After saying this, the old woman turned and left, completely ignoring Meng Yuanping's attempts to persuade her to stay.
"Help me up, I need to go to Qingfeng Tower." Meng Qingge's pale face regained some color.
The reason for vomiting blood was not only due to stomach ulcers, but also due to anger.
Now that the correct answer has been found, the illness has naturally improved a lot.
"Here we go again..." Lin Ping sighed helplessly at Meng Qingge's persistence.
"The doctor said you have a stomach ulcer. If you continue to drink tea, stay up late, and suffer from anxiety as before, your condition will worsen," Lin Ping said earnestly.
He didn't continue, after all, she had never heard of the word "cancer," and Lin Ping didn't dare to think about it.
“But Qingfeng Tower will make things difficult for the Meng family because of this,” Meng Qingge said anxiously.
"If you're worried about this, I'll have Han Jiji come to the east wing." Lin Ping turned and left, heading towards Qingfeng Tower.
"He's overestimating himself. Who does he think he is, daring to spout such nonsense? How could the owner of Qingfeng Tower listen to a poor kid? I'm sure he won't even be able to get through the gates of Qingfeng Tower," Meng Yuanping said sarcastically.
He despised Lin Ping to the core. He had previously felt some pity for him, but now that Lin Ping had done something that displeased him, his attitude towards him had turned into disgust.
“This child… sigh.” Huang Jiayu shook her head and said.
Ultimately, she didn't believe Lin Ping could even get into Qingfeng Tower.
Previously, he was able to subdue Meng Qingchao and force the old lady to come because he had something to rely on, plus his silver tongue, which enabled him to succeed.
But now that we're going to Qingfeng Tower, there's no face to speak of.
"Is he going to find the young master of Qingfeng Tower? He's made quite a sacrifice to help me, so don't worry, I definitely won't hold a grudge against you because of this," Meng Qingge murmured to herself.
In her opinion, the young master of Qingfeng Tower wouldn't help the Meng family for no reason; he would definitely make Lin Ping submit, and it would probably hurt quite a bit...
Not long after, Han Jiji hurriedly came to visit, which really startled Meng Yuanping.
Amidst the welcoming crowd, he arrived at Meng Qingge's door, but dared not step inside. He only dared to speak through the door and window: "Miss Meng, I have drafted the new contract, which contains some specific details. If you have no objections, production can begin soon. I will take my leave now."
Leaving now?
As Han Jiji's chubby figure left, only the astonished Meng Yuanping and his wife remained in the courtyard.
They examined the contract closely, but the more they looked, the more something seemed off. This was hardly a contract.
It's practically handing money to the Meng family; it's more like giving them a banknote.
"Qingge, did Han Jiji really not do anything to you?" Meng Yuanping asked worriedly, but he was too embarrassed to be too direct.
It wasn't that he didn't trust his daughter; the matter was just too bizarre to believe.
"Meng Yuanping, have you lost your mind?" Huang Jiayu grabbed his ear hard and walked straight into the room for another round of gymnastics.
Seeing that Meng Qingge did not go to Qingfeng Tower the next day, Meng Qingchao and the others were terrified and even prepared to beg her again.
But for three days in a row, Han Jiji didn't cause any more trouble, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Three days later, Meng Qingge's health had improved significantly, and her stomach ulcer symptoms were also lessening due to her cheerful mood.
That evening, Meng Qingge took the initiative to find Lin Ping and, after mustering up her courage for a long time, finally said, "Come with me to the old house. My grandfather wants to see you."
