After leaving my father and keeping my son, I built my own wealthy family, and my ex-husband's

Shredded paper slid down Qin Hai's face.

The remaining piece was stuck on his glasses frame, covering one of his eyes.

Qin Chengxi pointed at his comical appearance and burst into laughter, "Aunt He, look! The old man has turned into a one-eyed worm!"

Aunt He was so frightened that her mind went blank, and she stood there dumbfounded.

"Dad...you..." Mingyun quickly helped Qin Hai up.

Qin Hai has a weak heart, and she was really afraid that her father-in-law would get sick from anger.

Qin Hai raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need help, then took off his glasses, collected the scraps of paper, and smiled at Qin Chengxi, "Little friend, whose child are you...?"

"Hmph!" Qin Chengxi tilted his head. "None of your business, I'm not telling you!"

The glasses Qin Hai was holding made a series of cracking sounds.

Just then, He Ya hurriedly arrived at the living room of Villa No. 1.

She was still decorating the rooms at the Liujin Mansion when she heard the news that Qin Hai had returned to the Qin Residence, so she rushed over immediately.

As expected, Qin Hai was there.

She quickened her pace, adjusted her smile, and said gently and politely, "Uncle Qin, are you going back—"

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Aunt He's face was as white as paper, and Mingyun beside her also had a very serious expression.

Meanwhile, Qin Chengxi, who was in Aunt He's arms, was making a face at Qin Hai.

"Chengxi!" He Ya glared at the child. "Don't be rude to Grandpa Qin!"

The original plan was to wait for Bai Fengqin to communicate with Qin Hai before letting the grandfather and grandson meet. However, Qin Hai returned several hours earlier than expected.

It seems we ran into each other without any prior knowledge.

"Hmm? Xiaoya, this child is..." Qin Hai looked at He Ya.

He Ya's mind was in a mess, and since she had no idea what had just happened, she blurted out, "He is my son."

"Five years have passed, Xiaoya, and you even have a child now. Time really flies," Qin Hai said, his expression inscrutable. After a slight pause, he added, "The He family has truly produced a fine grandson."

He Ya didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Qin Hai continued, "Jade must be carved to become a gem. Such a young child behaving so recklessly needs to be disciplined as soon as possible. I'll discipline him for you today. Make your son kneel down at the bottom of the steps by the door."

He Ya was shocked. "Uncle Qin, this child—"

"Go now!" Qin Hai had reached his limit.

He Ya dared not argue any further, and could only take her son from Aunt He's arms and silently turn to go outside the villa.

Aunt He knelt down with a thud, "Sir... I... I really didn't know this calligraphy was... yours..."

"Just because it's not mine, does that mean I can let the child destroy things?" Qin Hai didn't even look at her. "You, go outside and kneel down too."

"Yes, sir."

Aunt He got up, lowered her head, and left.

"Sigh..." Qin Hai sighed deeply, squatted down, and carefully picked up the fragments.

Mingyun also squatted down and picked them up with him.

Qin Hai said, "Xiao Yun, why did you bring this calligraphy over?"

"This is something you treasured very much, and I think it's best to return it to you," Mingyun said, her eyes lowered. "I never expected such an accident to happen, Dad. I'm so sorry."

"It's alright, I'll have someone fix it later," Qin Hai frowned slightly, "But why did you return it?"

Seeing that Mingyun seemed to have some unspeakable secret.

He said, "After you've finished picking them up, come to the study with me and let's chat."

Mingyun nodded.

Villa No. 1, below the white marble steps outside the gate.

Aunt He knelt down obediently.

Qin Chengxi didn't understand why he had to kneel too, and kept saying that the man was a bad old man.

He Ya quickly covered her son's mouth and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense! Or I'll beat you!"

Seeing that his mother was really angry, Qin Chengxi finally behaved himself, pouting as he knelt down, tears streaming down his face.

He Ya felt sorry for her.

She didn't want it to be like this either.

He was already quite nervous about the meeting between grandfather and grandson, and hoped that the child could make a good impression on Qin Hai.

Who knew that an unexpected situation would occur.

If we don't try our best to salvage the first impression, things will likely be difficult to move forward smoothly.

After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and knelt down to stay by her son's side.

"Miss He, why are you kneeling too..." Aunt He asked in a low voice.

He Ya not only knelt down, but also secretly exerted force, trying to rub her knees together as much as possible. Even through her pants, the pain made her break out in a cold sweat.

She accompanied her son to be forced to kneel as punishment, and even deliberately rubbed her knees, all to make herself look more miserable and pitiful later.

In this way, when Qin Hai learns that the child is his grandson and sees her behavior, his opinion will definitely change significantly.

But her answer to Aunt He was, "My son made a mistake, and as his mother, I also bear responsibility. We should be punished together."

"I'm so sorry, Miss He," Aunt He's eyes were red-rimmed, "This is my fault, my fault for not keeping a close eye on the young master..."

He Ya hated Aunt He so much she wanted to grind her teeth, but she pretended to be gentle and kind, comforting her, "It's okay, it's not your fault."

Aunt He was deeply grateful and touched.

Miss He is indeed a daughter of a prominent family; she is understanding, gentle, and considerate.

She also gave birth to a young heir for the Qin family and was a good mother.

She's practically the Qin family's lucky star!

Only she is worthy of being the young mistress of the Qin family; Mingyun is not even as good as a single strand of her hair!

The two adults and one child knelt for less than ten minutes.

Bai Fengqin and Qin Pinsen arrived.

The mother and son were stunned when they saw this.

"Xiaoya! Chengxi!" Bai Fengqin dropped her expensive handbag and hurriedly helped him up. "Why are you kneeling here! Get up! What if you hurt yourself?"

Qin Pinsen immediately pulled Qin Chengxi into his arms, saying, "Who dared to make you both kneel like that!"

"Yes...it's the master." Aunt He immediately spoke up for He Ya and her son, "As soon as the master came back, he made Miss He and the young master kneel here for Mingyun's sake."

Bai Fengqin's expression changed. "What exactly happened?"

"Ya'er, get up first!" Qin Pinsen held the child in one arm and pulled He Ya with the other.

He Ya refused to get up, and said with a wronged expression:

"I don't know what happened either. Uncle Qin just wants to punish Chengxi. Although he didn't punish me, I'm the child's mother. If the child is wrong, I, as the mother, am also wrong... Pinsen, Aunt Qin, please don't blame Uncle Qin, and please don't blame Mingyun..."

"It must be Mingyun who's behind this!" Qin Pinsen gently rubbed his son's knees, his face grim. "Ya'er, get up. No matter what happens, Mom and I will back you up."

"Waaah... Mom, please get up." Qin Chengxi said.

"Xiaoya, my good child... it hurts my heart if you kneel down again." Bai Fengqin was almost in tears, and she tried to pull her up no matter what.

Seeing that it was almost over, He Ya pretended to be enduring the pain.

He stood up unsteadily, then deliberately stumbled, clutching his knees, frowning and hissing as he gasped for breath.

Bai Fengqin pulled up her pants.

Shen Xue's two scraped knees were on full display.

"Oh dear! He's injured like this!" Bai Fengqin's heart was broken.

"Where is that woman now!" Qin Pinsen asked Aunt He, his eyes filled with coldness.

"It's still inside..." Aunt He pointed to the villa.

"Mom, you watch Chengxi and quickly call the doctor to apply the medicine to Ya'er. I'm going to drag Mingyun out!"

Qin Pinsen handed his son to Bai Fengqin, his eyes bloodshot as if he wanted to skin Mingyun alive. He stepped onto the stairs and stormed into the villa with murderous intent!
