Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

”If it weren’t for Zhe’s sake, I wouldn’t bother with you! You’d better behave yourself and not do anything else!” After Beitang Ting said this, he walked upstairs.

The next day, Beitang Yao received news that the old man had had a stroke and hoped he would come over to check on him, bringing Xia Qingqian along.

This was a phone call from Lao Chen to Beitang Yao.

Beitang Yao held the phone, pondering for a long moment. How could Grandpa have a stroke? When did this happen?

He glanced indifferently at Xia Qingqian, who was carrying dishes out of the kitchen. This glance made Xia Qingqian’s body freeze, staring at him in a daze.

Beitang Yao stood up, walked to the dining table, and grabbed her wrist with a hint of suspicion: ”I’m only going to ask you this once. Did you tamper with the things you bought for Grandpa?”

Xia Qingqian abruptly raised her head, looking at him in confusion: ”Yao, what do you mean?”

His words were like a sarcastic blade, stabbing deep into her heart.

”Grandpa had a stroke. Lao Chen said it was after eating the nutritional supplements you sent over.” He looked at her, speaking indifferently.

”What? Stroke?” Xia Qingqian listened to this news, and her vision went dark for a moment before she recovered, holding her breath: ”Yao, those things were chosen by Sister Huan and me together, and they were all sealed. How could I intend to harm Grandpa?”

His suspicion felt like someone was stepping hard on her heart, crushing it.

He was doubting her.

”So did you tamper with them?” he asked.

She raised her head, tears shimmering in her eyes, and said firmly: ”I didn’t!”

Sister Huan and Beitang Huan, who were in the kitchen, also heard the commotion outside and both came out. Beitang Huan asked: ”What happened? Could you both stop arguing all the time, please!”

”...” Beitang Yao and Xia Qingqian exchanged glances in the air, neither saying a word, just looking at each other indifferently.

”Young Master, is it our cooking that’s not good? I’ll redo it right now.” Sister Huan thought the Young Master disliked the dishes and was about to reach out to take them away when Beitang Yao said, ”No need.”

”Yao, I really didn’t tamper with the nutritional supplements, please believe me, I don’t want to harm Grandpa...” Xia Qingqian looked at Beitang Yao’s cold expression and started to feel frightened.

Beitang Yao had a chilling aura, contemplating who might be behind the scenes causing trouble for him repeatedly. He wasn’t blaming or suspecting Xia Qingqian, just wanted to confirm if she did.

”Young Master, did something happen to the old man? What happened? The nutritional supplements were chosen by Miss Qing Qian and me. I can testify that Miss Qing Qian didn’t do anything, besides, after we paid for them, they were brought back solely by Ye Feng. After that, neither Miss Qing Qian nor I touched those supplements again.” Sister Huan quickly explained.

Were those nutritional supplements unsuitable for the old man? At the time of buying, Miss Qing Qian asked the sales assistant if they were suitable for elderly people to consume.

”Sister Huan, are you sure?” Beitang Yao turned his face to look at Sister Huan.

Standing nearby, Beitang Huan instinctively glanced at Xia Qingqian when Beitang Yao spoke, thinking, uh-oh!

She saw Xia Qingqian’s face turn from red to white! Brother Yao’s distrust would surely be a severe blow to her!
