"Yes, that's right..." Qin Tianlang's words came out, and he immediately felt something was wrong.
Jin Meiyao quickly stopped him, "Tianlang! Didn't you tell me they were drinking together, and a misunderstanding arose after drinking?"
"Old Madam, I haven't had any drinks with him, nor was there any misunderstanding after drinking!" Gu Susu retorted.
Jin Meiyao still wanted to defend her son, but the old lady slapped the round table beside her, pointing at Qin Zhaoye in anger, "You are muddled! It's obvious who is bullying Susu, yet you are still protecting the bully! You are truly bewitched!"
"Mom, you don't believe your own daughter-in-law and your own grandson, but you believe an outsider who just joined the Qin family. Because of what happened with Yongmei back then, you've become completely unreasonable over the years!" Qin Zhaoye said, holding Jin Meiyao's hand, clearly wanting to protect her.
The old lady laughed heartily twice, "Who is it that has been blinded by greed, and for this woman, what have you done to Yongmei and your own son!"
Just as the old lady and Qin Zhaoye were about to argue, Jin Meiyao suddenly knelt before the old lady and said softly, crying, "Mom, it's my fault, all my fault. Zhaoye and I knew each other when we were young and never cared about status. If Sister Yongmei hadn't passed away unexpectedly, I would never have brought Tianlang here. I just wanted to stay by Zhaoye's side quietly, never fighting or competing."
Qin Zhaoye and Qin Tianlang both tried to help her up. Qin Tianlang glared at Gu Susu with hatred in his eyes and said loudly, "Mom, get up quickly, why are you kneeling! She's the one who should be kneeling and admitting her mistakes!"
"Meiyao, you are good at everything, except you are too soft-hearted," Qin Zhaoye also wanted to pull her up.
Gu Susu finally witnessed what "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" meant today. Jin Meiyao, such a sinister person, was called soft-hearted. She was speechless.
The old lady had seen through Jin Meiyao long ago and sneered, "Let her kneel. She should have been kneeling properly long ago, thinking about what she did wrong!"
Qin Tianyi, who had come downstairs hopping and skipping at some point, almost fell as he jumped over the last step of the stairs. Fortunately, Gu Susu was quick enough to catch him.
He held Gu Susu's hand, grinning foolishly, "Wife, what are you doing here? I'm so hungry, why isn't dinner ready yet?"
In this situation, Gu Susu didn't know how to answer him, so she could only say, "Be good, husband, dinner will be ready in a while."
Qin Tianyi said "okay," then let go of her hand and ran to Jin Meiyao, who was kneeling, and clapped his hands, laughing, "Auntie made a mistake and is being punished to kneel! Great, great, quickly get a keyboard, it'll be more fun to make Auntie kneel on the keyboard."
"You idiot, get away!" Qin Tianlang protected Jin Meiyao, his eyes filled with ferocity as he rudely drove Qin Tianyi away.
The old lady stood up, unable to contain her anger, and hit Qin Zhaoye's back forcefully, "Look at how you treat Tianyi normally, who made him kneel on a keyboard? And how does Tianlang treat his brother! Calling him an idiot all the time, an unfilial son! The Qin family will be ruined by you sooner or later."
Qin Zhaoye originally intended to discipline the newly married Miss Ai, but he didn't expect it to escalate to this. He felt a headache coming on and said to the old lady, "Mom, do you want to hand over the Qin Group to Tianyi, who has a problem with his brain? Can you be fair? I've been managing the Qin Group for years, and the annual profits have never been less. Am I worse than him?"
"He is also your son. Before that accident, he was smarter than anyone. Your father chose Tianyi as his successor when he was alive!" the old lady said.
Qin Zhaoye said angrily, "Dad was already senile then. By bypassing me and Zhaoliang, choosing a child as the successor to the Qin Group, it would have ruined the group!"
"Your father wasn't senile at all..."
"Mom, you haven't managed the company's affairs for many years, so don't worry about it anymore. Take care of your health and go back to the small building in the east to rest early."
The old lady looked at her eldest son in shock, stumbled back a step, and finally managed to catch her breath. She grabbed Qin Tianyi's hand and snorted, "Fine, you think I'm old and in the way. I won't interfere with your affairs anymore. However, Tianyi and Susu will live with me in the east starting today, and it won't interfere with your happy family of three!"
Gu Susu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she wouldn't have to live in the same mansion as Qin Tianlang and the others anymore.
Jin Meiyao immediately stood up and tried to stop the old lady from taking Qin Tianyi away, saying, "Mom, you're right. Tianyi is Zhaoye's son after all. Letting him live in a big house with more servants to take care of him would be more considerate."
"I don't need too many servants. I am his wife, and I can take care of him," Gu Susu quickly retorted.
The old lady held Qin Tianyi's hand tightly and pushed Jin Meiyao aside, saying, "Get out of the way. I'm taking my grandson to live with me. Who dares to stop me! Tianyi, Susu, let's go!"
Rong Ma walked ahead, deliberately swaying her hips and nudging Jin Meiyao.
The old lady, holding Qin Tianyi's hand, walked away quickly. Gu Susu followed closely behind them, as if escaping a dragon's den.
Qin Tianyi still remembered to wave goodbye foolishly to Qin Zhaoye and the others, saying, "Goodbye."
