Chapter 189: Can’t get off stage
Chen Jin and Chen Yue looked at each other, their eyes revealing a bit of tacit understanding and worry.
Chen Yue immediately protected Su Yanqing. Her hands gently rested on Su Yanqing's shoulders, forming an invisible barrier.
Chen Jin stood up and walked towards Old Madam Chen, his steps steady and his eyes firm.
"It's really rare. What is grandma doing here?"
There was a hint of temptation and doubt in Chen Jin's words.
Old Madam Chen turned her head slightly and glanced behind Chen Jin, her eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Chen Jin immediately made room and stopped in front of Old Madam Chen and asked, "Grandma, what's the matter?"
His voice was calm, but there was a firmness in his tone.
Old Lady Chen slowly withdrew her gaze, stared at Chen Jin, and said, "I heard that you brought a woman with a sharp tongue to Xiao Chuyi and Ru'er's engagement ceremony today. I wanted to see who dared to cause trouble in such an occasion."
After saying this, she showed no mercy to Chen Jin, her words full of displeasure and severity.
Old Madam Chen reached out and pushed Chen Jin away, pointing her finger at Su Yanqing and saying, "You, come here."
Her voice was cold as ice and left no room for doubt.
Chen Jin frowned, clenched his hands tightly together, and his knuckles turned slightly white from excessive force.
Chen Yue quickly spread out her hands and stood in front of Su Yanqing: "Grandma, this young lady's face is injured and it's not convenient for her to see people. Please don't make things difficult for her."
Her words were full of protection for Su Yanqing.
"Is that so?"
Old Madam Chen sneered and slowly moved forward, standing in front of Chen Yue.
Her smile was full of disdain and sarcasm.
Her eyes swept over Chen Yue sinisterly, her gaze as piercing as frost.
Finally, he pushed Chen Yue away and grabbed Su Yanqing's arm with such force that Su Yanqing almost frowned in pain.
Without Chen Yue's protection, Su Yanqing had to be twisted around by Old Madam Chen.
She couldn't resist the dominance of Old Madam Chen.
The eyes under the mask looked at Old Madam Chen with a bit of panic.
Those eyes were filled with anxiety and fear.
She pursed her lips, her throat moved slightly, and she lowered her eyes and whispered, "Grandma Huang."
These four words were almost inaudible.
This address made Old Madam Chen stunned for a moment, and her expression looked a little complicated.
Su Yanqing calmed herself down, took a deep breath, and then looked up to meet Old Madam Chen's gaze: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
There was determination and inquiry in her eyes.
At that moment, a familiar warm feeling enveloped Mrs. Chen's heart, as if a long-lost family affection was spreading in her heart.
Once on her birthday, a little girl wearing a mask appeared in front of her to celebrate with her.
It was a warm and beautiful moment that she still remembers vividly.
The scene before her eyes gradually overlapped with her memories of that time, and an indescribable emotion surged in Old Madam Chen's heart.
It seemed as if that long-lost memory appeared vividly before her eyes again.
Mrs. Chen's originally high anger began to dissipate, and her originally angry expression also softened.
The hand that was originally holding Su Yanqing's arm slowly loosened, no longer holding her tightly.
Her brows gradually smoothed out, her tightly furrowed brows began to relax, and a hint of softness appeared on her face.
After a long while, Old Madam Chen asked softly, "Are you Liu'er?"
His tone was full of anticipation and uncertainty.
"Yes, it's me."
Su Yanqing answered decisively without any hesitation.
"Then why did you speak like that at the engagement ceremony today? Did you make Ayi and the others unhappy?"
Old Madam Chen continued to ask, her tone much softer, but still with a hint of concern and confusion.
Su Yanqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, "You think those words of mine made them unhappy? But that's all true, right?"
There was a hint of helplessness in her words.
"The whole thing between Ayi and Su Yanqing was a misunderstanding. Furthermore, now that Su Yanqing is no longer alive, Ayi is naturally single. What's the point of exposing these things in front of so many people if not embarrassing them?"
Mrs. Chen tried to explain her point of view.
Having said that, Old Madam Chen turned around and said meaningfully to Chen Jin who was standing behind her: "Did you make this decision on your own, or did someone ask you to do this?"
There is more meaning hidden in her words, which is hard to understand.
Su Yanqing stared straight at the old lady in front of her who was still full of vigor and vitality, her heart full of admiration.
Even though the years have carved some wrinkles on her face, it can still be seen that her strong and unyielding spirit has not changed with the passage of time.
These days, Su Yanqing heard a lot about Old Madam Chen from Chen Jin and Chen Yue, which gave her a deeper understanding of the old lady.
I thought she would be a terrifying figure, the kind of awe-inspiring and arrogant image.
But the old lady Chen in front of him looked like a very respectable person.
Her manners were gentle and polite, and she exuded the wisdom and composure accumulated over the years.
Her expression was firm and her eyes were clear, like a deep lake, as if she could see through everything in the world.
As soon as we met, I knew that she was very smart and capable, and could see a person's true nature at a glance.
Su Yanqing even felt a bit of admiration and affection for Old Madam Chen in her heart.
She felt that such a person might become a good teacher and friend in her life.
At this time, Old Madam Chen looked at Su Yanqing, her eyes seemed to hide some complicated thoughts, but she finally retracted her gaze.
The latter was stunned for a moment before she said softly, "Old Madam, you misunderstood. No one instructed me to come here. If Xiao Chuyi and Su Xiyao really thought that Xiao Chuyi's ex-wife was dead and posed no threat to them, why would Old Madam go to all the trouble to come find me?"
There was a hint of doubt in his words, but more of it was composure.
Old Madam Chen was slightly stunned, as if Su Yanqing's question touched a sensitive spot, and she fell into a brief thought.
Su Yanqing continued, "It seems that Xiao Chuyi and Su Xiyao also know that their actions are not upright, and they are actually a little scared, right?"
Her words were gentle and powerful, and every word seemed to be carefully considered.
After he finished speaking, the ward fell into silence, with only the occasional sound of equipment running.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if everyone was waiting for an unknown outcome.
Old Madam Chen frowned and stared at Su Yanqing.
Her eyes became sharp, as if she wanted to see through Su Yanqing's thoughts at this moment.
Su Yanqing's expression was calm, without any sign of fluctuation.
Facing Old Madam Chen's gaze, she remained calm and firm, seemingly unaffected by the pressure.
Chen Jin and Chen Yue on the side seemed a little nervous.
The two men's hands unconsciously clasped together, revealing their inner uneasiness.
