Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

The other party was considerate and polite. Although Old Madam Qin didn’t particularly like the mother and daughter, since they were always courteous, Old Madam Qin courteously replied, ”Thank you for your concern, there’s nothing serious now, just sitting here and chatting with the younger generation.”

She didn’t want to tell Madam Li the truth, to avoid giving Madam Li another opportunity to visit again.

Her grandson had made it clear that he disliked Du Jiayi’s two-faced hypocrisy, so why would she allow outsiders to visit and add to her grandson’s discomfort?

Upon hearing these words, Madam Li sensed that Old Madam Qin wasn’t telling the truth. Sitting at the emergency room door and chatting with the younger ones? Ha, she really thinks I’m a three-year-old child.

However, if the other party was not welcoming, she had no need to impose. She had given up hope regarding her daughter and Qin Xiu, but the Qin family was an established family after all. If they couldn’t become in-laws, she at least had to maintain a good relationship with them.

Hearing this, Madam Li responded as if a weight had been lifted, ”Well then, that’s good, that’s good. With Qin Xiu and Miss Ye here, I can rest assured.”

Old Madam Qin lifted her head, rubbed her forehead, and tiredly agreed, ”Thank you for your concern. Just now I heard you say you needed to accompany Old Madam Li, so you go ahead and be busy. Don’t let me hold you up.”

”Alas, my mother was also agitated by my second brother, suddenly complaining of chest pain in the middle of the night, which frightened Du Jiayi and me terribly, so we rushed to the hospital. You should rest up; I’ll come to see you next time.” Madam Li didn’t want to stay any longer, she had her own status and wasn’t accustomed to sticking around for a cold reception.

Du Jiayi also immediately said, ”Old Madam, you must take good care of your health. I see even Brother Qin is so anxious that he’s gone pale. For the sake of the younger members of the family, you must take good care of yourself.”

Once she finished speaking, she obediently stood by Madam Li, while her eyes, in the corners of which malice lurked, swept over Ye Jian several times.

Qin Xiu’s brows were already tightly knitted, his gaze swept past Du Jiayi and then slowly fell upon Ye Jian, his thin lips slightly pursed.

Madam Li, who seemed to be leaving, suddenly turned her gaze toward Ye Jian and smilingly asked, ”Miss Ye, have you been in contact with Xia Jinyuan lately? A few days ago, I met his mother, who has been asking around about how Little Six is doing lately, and I don’t know if Ye Jian has been in touch with him. Could you let me know a thing or two?”

She wasn’t asking on behalf of Madam Xiao, but rather, she did so intentionally, wanting to leave a thorn in Old Madam Qin’s heart.

Old Madam Qin’s expression instantly darkened at Madam Li’s sudden targeting of Ye Jian. Du Jiayi tugged at Madam Li’s sleeve and said helplessly, ”Mom, if you have to ask, at least choose a better time. Ye Jian is currently accompanying Old Madam; she doesn’t have time to answer you now.”

”If you really want to ask, let us do it later.” Then she turned and smiled at Ye Jian, politely inquiring, ”Ye Jian, can you give me your mobile number? You and Xia Jinyuan have always had a good relationship. Maybe I can have Aunt Xiao contact you later, would that be alright?”

The mother and daughter’s words obviously showed they had misunderstood her relationship with Qin Xiu. Upon hearing this, she responded indifferently, ”No, if Madam Xiao truly cares and wants to know how her own son is doing, she will definitely find other ways.”

”You child, you’re still the same as before, like a hedgehog. When things weren’t good between the sisters at home, one could say it was because you were young and didn’t understand. Now that you’re grown up, it’s still the same, alas, it can’t be helped. You grew up wild without parents, lacking upbringing. Alright, since you don’t wish to speak, I won’t insist.” Madam Li was very satisfied with Ye Jian’s lack of cooperation, which allowed her to plant another thorn in Old Madam Qin’s heart.
