Chapter 224 - Arguing With Grandma Qin

'Would not marry anyone other than him? Hah…' Ye Qiao snorted coldly.
Madam Gu's voice went softer and softer. The couple did not know that Ye Qiao was Lu Beixiao's girlfriend. She intentionally showed up in front of them to make it less awkward for her future mother-in-law, Madam Du.
Madam Du had returned from N town with Uncle Du Jun. She did not know about Ye Qiao yet, but Ye Qiao had already told Beixiao to speak to Madam Du nicely about it that night.
***
The Qin family soon learned about Qin Lan's arrest. Although they did not know who reported it to the police, they all thought it was done by the Ye family, which made Grandma Qin even angrier!
Qin Lan committed a crime, so it was natural for her to be arrested. However, to the Qin family, it was a challenge of their status!
***
In the Qin family's residence at 9 a.m. in the morning, several important figures from the Qin family had arrived. Seven members of the Ye family arrived too - Old Master Ye, the two great aunts, two other aunts, Ye Shengxun, and Ye Qiao. The atmosphere was very tense, and both families had gloomy expressions on their faces.
Grandma Qin made everyone wait for a full 40 minutes. She arrived at the living hall with the help of her maids, and everyone stood up. Grandma Qin was squinting her eyes and holding a chain of buddha beads.
She scanned the Ye family and finally sat down.
"Have a seat!" Grandma Qin pressed her lips together. She sat down with the arrogance of a queen!
Ye Qiao could not remember much about Grandma Qin. However, the Qin family was doing very well, and the head of such a big family would almost certainly be dominant and arrogant.
"Who is that little girl?" Grandma Qin squinted at the girl wearing a modern cheongsam dress and asked.
Ye Qiao stood up elegantly and took a step forward with a smile. "Grandma Qin, I am Ye Qiao."
She was neither arrogant nor humble. She said "I am" instead of "My name is". It made a big difference.
Everyone's gaze fell on Ye Qiao; they could see her beautiful figure and face and were all amazed. Was this really the illegitimate daughter from the rural village?!
She grew up so well in the past few years! No wonder Qin Lan wanted to get rid of her!
When the Ye family took Ye Qiao in, Qin Lan also complained to the Qin family. Grandma Qin saw Ye Qiao and told her, "She is a useless young girl. She would not become a threat to you; don't worry."
Just like she predicted, Ye Qiao was useless in her previous life.
"Ah, you are the illegitimate daughter... Ye Zhenzhen's half-sister…" Grandma Qin said with despise.
Her attitude clearly offended the Ye family.
The eldest grandaunt wanted to protest, but Ye Qiao spoke first.
"Grandma Qin practices Buddhism. Buddha said that everyone is equal. Everyone is born with Tathāgata's equivalent intelligence and character and are no different from Buddha! It seems like your practice isn't enough…"
Ye Qiao's words dumbfounded everyone!
How dare she argue against Grandma Qin!?
"You little girl, do you want to die!? How dare you argue with Grandma Qin!?" Grandma Qin's eldest daughter stood up angrily.
Ye Qiao smiled and continued, "I am just a little girl, if my words offend you, please tolerate me.. However, Grandma Qin, there's something that you don't know. I am not Ye Zhenzhen's half-sister, we don't share the same father nor the same mother!"
