Chapter 1556: A Grand Game of Chess


At this moment, Qu Qiangwei was completely listing Ye Xunhuan's crimes, or rather telling Xiahao Yunting that Ye Xunhuan is actually a scumbag and totally unreliable. Letting Qiu Ruoxi marry this kind of person is like pushing her into the fire pit!

However, Qu Qiangwei didn't exaggerate but told Xiahao Yunting everything she knew and what many people in Jiangzhong City knew.

As Qu Qiangwei's words echoed in his ears, Xiahao Yunting's face showed no emotional fluctuations; everything appeared very calm.

As if, for him, Ye Xunhuan having women outside was no big deal at all.

"Grandpa Xiahou, this Ye Xunhuan is simply too fickle. If Ruoxi follows him, she'll definitely suffer a lot of grievances!"

At this moment, Qu Qiangwei was saying, since you, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, make things difficult for me, I won't let you have it easy either.

"I wondered what the matter was; turns out it's just this trivial thing!" Xiahao Yunting said with complete indifference.

Faced with Xiahao Yunting's reaction, Qu Qiangwei was slightly stunned. Is this... indifference?

But it shouldn't be like that. Xiahao Yunting has only this one granddaughter, Qiu Ruoxi, whom he always cherishes dearly.

If he knew Ye Xunhuan was this kind of person, he should be furious, right?

But who could have thought Xiahao Yunting would be so indifferent, with an uncaring attitude.

"Grandpa Xiahou, is this... not a big deal?" Qu Qiangwei said with disbelief written all over her face.

"A young man not being a bit wild, what's the point of youth? That kid is so young and wealthy; if someone said he could be completely honest, that would be nonsense!" Xiahao Yunting said lightly, "Being a bit wild in youth is nothing; once he has children with Ruoxi, he will gradually settle down!"

"People change, back in the day your grandfather was also a philanderer, yet your grandmother stayed with him!"

Qu Chengwu's face immediately darkened.

Damn, what does this have to do with me?

"Old pal, let's not say the pot calls the kettle black!"

Xiahao Yunting chuckled lightly, "Alright, these are small matters, not worth mentioning, and young people have their own ways of handling things. This old man, already halfway in the ground, won't get involved!"

Since Xiahao Yunting said so, Qu Qiangwei couldn't really say anything further.

But Qu Qiangwei's heart was filled with indescribable anger; how could Xiahao Yunting be so generous and not care at all?

"Old brother, while that might be true, I still think it would be better if you gave them a talking to," Qu Chengwu said mildly. "Otherwise, if something happens in the future, wouldn't it be Ruoxi who suffers?"

"Isn't there still Yu Tong and Shui Han? If they're not worried, why should I be?" Xiahao Yunting said calmly, "Qu old geezer, you wouldn't want me to have my granddaughter get a divorce, would you?"

As he said this, Xiahao Yunting's gaze became somewhat unfriendly.

"Old brother, what are you saying; how could I have such intentions?"

"Why wouldn't you; seeing that my granddaughter married such a good man, you felt uncomfortable and wanted Ruoxi to get divorced..."

Qu Chengwu was completely speechless.

"Alright, I'll say nothing more, will that suffice?" Qu Chengwu sighed slightly.

"That will do!"

"But speaking of which," Qu Chengwu changed his tone again and said, "I heard this kid's background is not ordinary, and he has some feuds with those people?"

"Your information is quite up-to-date!"

"Of course!" Qu Chengwu said with a smile, "Mainly because of Ruoxi; otherwise, why would I care about these trivial matters?"

"Really?" Xiahao Yunting's gaze slowly became a bit sharp, like a solidified sword, seemingly able to see through Qu Chengwu's thoughts.

Faced with Xiahao Yunting's somewhat piercing gaze, Qu Chengwu felt slightly uneasy inside, but on the surface, he coolly said, "Could I possibly deceive you about this?"

"Given our relationship, why would I?"

Xiahao Yunting stopped questioning further, nodded, and said, "You're not wrong; that kid's background is indeed not simple, and he does have some grudges with those people, but it's not a big issue!"

"No more to say, if you, old brother, need my help, don't hesitate to ask; if I can help, I certainly won't refuse!"

"Even if you want to leave, you can't."

Qu Chengwu and Qu Qiangwei did not stay long at the Xiahou family and left soon enough.

After Qu Chengwu and Qu Qiangwei left, Xiahao Yunting snorted coldly, "The old thing, trying to play tricks in front of me without considering his own abilities!"

As he spoke, Xiahao Yunting couldn't help recalling what Qu Qiangwei said before, which immediately filled him with dissatisfaction!

"Little brat, you dare to marry my granddaughter and still flirt with other women outside; let's see how I settle this with you!" Xiahao Yunting said angrily.

Although previously Xiahao Yunting wore a calm face, pretending not to care at all, how could he not care one bit inside!

After all, in Xiahao Yunting's heart, Qiu Ruoxi is an invaluable treasure, the only granddaughter, completely adored in every possible way!

Now, letting his granddaughter marry Ye Xunhuan was already a favor to him, yet who'd know this guy would still seek other women outside!

This made Xiahao Yunting feel very uncomfortable, or rather, angry.

But in front of Qu Chengwu, he had to remain calm; otherwise, he'd be a laughingstock for Qu Chengwu!

After Qu Chengwu and Qu Qiangwei left the Xiahou residence, Qu Qiangwei couldn't help asking Qu Chengwu, "Grandpa, why didn't he have any reaction?"

"The old coot's mind is not something others can fathom," Qu Chengwu snorted, "But I bet he feels uncomfortable inside and will certainly settle it with Ye Xunhuan!"

"Then won't he and Qiu Ruoxi..." Qu Qiangwei said, sounding very excited.

"Not necessarily!" Qu Chengwu said thoughtfully, "This kid is not simple, for Xiahou old geezer to willingly marry Qiu Ruoxi off to him, it's not as easy as you think, especially since his surname is Ye!"

"Grandpa, what's the big deal with the surname Ye, is there a problem?" Qu Qiangwei asked, filled with curiosity and confusion.

"More than just a problem, it's a huge one!" Qu Chengwu said solemnly, "If he's really that Ye, then Xiahou's old geezer might be playing a big game of chess, with everyone as pawns except his granddaughter and Ye Xunhuan who are the executioners among them!"

"Ah!" Qu Qiangwei was immediately filled with surprise, "Grandpa, what do you mean?"

"Qiangwei, if there's a chance, you should climb up to Ye Xunhuan; this could be an opportunity for you and the entire Qu family!"
