After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

Qing Sisi's voice showed no sadness at the news of the old woman's death, only heartache for her own mother.

In that family, the only person who cared about her and dared to stand up for her was her mother; even her brother, Qing Siling, didn't dare to stand up and criticize her.

Therefore, Qing Sisi felt most sorry for her mother. Her mother was fighting over her by everyone in that family, yet she still resolutely chose to divorce her husband to fight for more things and live with him.

"Are you at school or at home right now? I'll come pick you up."

"at home."

"Okay, I'm downstairs. I'll come up to pick you up. Let's go back and take a look, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Sisi hummed in agreement, and then Bai Yu hung up the phone.

He didn't know if Qing Sisi's grandmother's death was an arrangement by heaven or something else, but for Sisi's sake, he had to go back and see her mother.

Meanwhile, at the North City Hospital, Qing's mother was sobbing as she looked at Qing Yu, her cheeks red from being slapped. Qing Siling stood in front of her, trying her best to stop her father.

"Yu Yuning, you son of a bitch! You've driven my mom away. Fine, fine, this is it. I'm going to make sure you're dead. Get out of my way, Qingsiling. If you block my way again, I'll beat you up too. You believe me?"

Qingyu was already tall and strong, but now when she got angry, she was even more frightening. Her face was full of fleshy muscles, her jaw was clenched, and her jaw muscles, combined with her fierce eyes, were so intimidating.

However, Qing Siling, who had always been extremely afraid of her father, did not give in at all at this moment. Instead, she resolutely stood in front of her mother.

"Dad, Grandma's passing has nothing to do with Mom. The doctor said it was just that she... she got angry and her blood vessels ruptured. Besides, Grandma was wrong in the first place. Mom has sacrificed so much for this family. Even if she gets divorced, she shouldn't end up with nothing. Mom was with you when you were just a hoodlum. Now that you're all grown up, you're so... so high and mighty?"

These words were easy to say, but Qing Siling immediately covered her head with her hand, and the next moment a slap landed on his arm.

Even with my arm blocking it, I could still feel the jarring pain on my face and a numb sensation in my arm.

This slap showed just how strong Qingyu was and how capable she was of striking.

Seeing her son almost knocked to the ground by Qingyu after standing in front of her, Qingyu reached out and pulled Qingsiling behind her, pointing at Qingyu and cursing.

"Qingyu, this is the end of it. If you make another move, I'll call the police. Originally, I, Yu Yuning, only wanted to leave this family and get some money so my daughter, Sisi, could live a decent life, but..."

"You fucking dare? You want to die?"

With wide eyes, Qingyu's hand trembled as she pointed at Yu Yuning, her tiger-like eyes filled with a fierce light.

He knew what Yu Yuning wanted to do: to fight him to the death and confess all the illegal things she did when she was young and involved in the underworld.

"Do you think I dare? You've pushed my daughter and me to our deaths, why should I give in to you? That old bastard deserved to die, good riddance. It's just a pity there was another old man who didn't die with him. If they had, I would have thrown a banquet with dozens of tables to celebrate."

"Damn Yu Yuning, don't think I won't touch you. Mom just left and you're already yelling at me. Fine, fine, you're something else."

Giving a thumbs up, Qingyu was about to make a move, but when he saw Qingsiling blocking his way, he hesitated and calmed down a bit.

If he really beat Yu Yuning to death, then this woman will definitely fight him to the death, and everything he has worked hard for in his life will be ruined.

As for whether Yu Yuning is afraid of going to jail or even being sentenced to death, Qingyu knows that she is not afraid at all.

He used to be the boss, so how could the boss's woman be simple?

Over the years, in order to change and transform her personality, Yu Yuning has always tried to be a virtuous wife and loving mother, but that doesn't mean she has no temper.

Otherwise, why would Qing Siling and Qing Sisi not dare to speak ill of the two elders, while only Yu Yuning dares? It's because her personality has changed a lot, but she still can't stand things she doesn't approve of, and she won't give Qingyu any face for making such a mistake.

But Qingyu's constant concessions over a long period of time made her complacent, and she began to forget how she rose to her current position.

Lifting her clothes, Yu Yuning revealed a ten-centimeter-long knife scar on her chest, and then turned to show Qingyu several scars on her back.

"Don't you know how you got these scars? You bullied me, bullied my daughter, bullied my son, and now you think you're all that? You've gotten too big for your britches, Qingyu. Do you remember how you got to be the big brother here? If it weren't for me, would you be where you are today?"

Yu Yuning has completely broken ties with Qingyu, which means their family can no longer be harmonious. Their son and daughter are grown up, so divorce won't put as much pressure on them.

Now she must take all the property and what she is entitled to, and she will no longer choose to back down because of love, because repeated disappointments have completely exhausted Yu Yuning's love for Qingyu.

Looking at Yu Yuning's determined eyes, Qingyu felt for a moment that she seemed to have returned to the cold and ruthless appearance of the big sister she was twenty years ago.

But if he were afraid, what would be the point of talking? Qingyu is never afraid.

"Fine, fine, you're determined to fight me today, aren't you? Get out of here, take Qingsiling with you and get out of here. I'll come back after I've taken care of my mother's business."

The tenderness for her family was gone from Qingyu's eyes; instead, there was a fierce ruthlessness as if she were facing an enemy.

Seeing this, Qing Ma turned and left, but Qing Si Ling hesitated.

For him, his mother was very important, and his grandmother was just as important.

Although he always knew that his grandmother had done many wrong things, this could not diminish the love she had for him.

He has always been loved by his grandparents the most since he was a child. Now that his grandmother has suddenly passed away and his mother and father are getting a divorce and fighting tooth and nail, he is on the verge of a breakdown.

What should he choose at this point?

If you choose your mother, you won't even be able to attend your grandmother's funeral, and the chance to say goodbye in her final moments will be gone.

But if he doesn't go with his mother, what will she think? Will she think that her son is being unreasonable and wants to go with his father?

Standing in the middle, watching her father and mother leave in two different directions, Qing Siling ultimately chose neither side and quietly slid down to the ground against the wall, tears streaming down her face.

For Qing Siling, the death of his grandmother was the loss of a dear relative, and the discord between his mother and father was also a separation. Under the double blow, he could not even cry out, and his brain felt dizzy from lack of oxygen, with his head churning.

Covering her head, Qing Siling sat on the cold hospital corridor floor, crying silently. There wasn't a sound of her crying, but the sight of her mouth open, tears and snot streaming down her face, was more painful than if she had cried out.

At the same time, Bai Yu and Qing Sisi also received the news and rushed to the hospital.

When the two arrived at the emergency floor where Grandma Qing Siling had passed away, they saw him sitting in the corridor, looking up and crying.

"Green silk ribbons".

"elder brother."

Hearing someone call his name, Qing Siling turned to look at Bai Yu and Qing Sisi, but he ignored them and remained immersed in his own sea of ​​suffering.

Seeing his heartbreaking sobs, barely audible, Bai Yu could understand him.

For Qing Sisi, those two old geezers deserved to die; their deaths brought only joy, not sorrow.

But for Qing Siling, his grandparents were like his parents, even closer than his parents.

This is why some people are considered bad by their families, while others are considered good by their families.

Qing Sisi lived a life worse than death because of the two old men, while Qing Siling lived like a treasure because of them.

People's joys and sorrows are never shared, and even Qing Siling and Qing Sisi, who grew up together, are probably different, or even opposite.

"Sisi, go comfort your brother, now..."

Just as Bai Yu was about to say that your family is now completely falling apart, Qing Sisi turned around and pulled him out of the hospital.

Seeing that Qing Sisi was about to leave instead of comforting her brother, he couldn't understand this girl.

"Sisi, what's wrong?"

She didn't answer Bai Yu's question until she pulled Bai Yu out of the hospital and arrived at a cart selling brown sugar glutinous rice cakes outside the hospital.

"My brother likes to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cakes. He buys these when he's sad, they're his favorite."

Seeing Qing Sisi's serious expression, Bai Yu actually felt a little jealous, especially since she ate Qing Siling's food, which was absurd.

Chapter 189 Parting in Life and Death, Please Accept the Misfortune

After buying the brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, Bai Yu and Qing Sisi went back upstairs at the hospital. The girl moved very carefully, looking back every few steps, as if she was afraid of making her brother even more heartbroken.

She reached out and handed a small box of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes to Qing Siling, speaking softly.

"Brother, I bought you your favorite brown sugar glutinous rice cakes. Eating a little will cheer you up. Grandma used to buy these for you often when you were little. She's gone, but if you remember her, she'll always be there for you."

Standing to the side, Bai Yu felt not happiness upon hearing Qing Sisi's comforting words, but rather waves of pain.

For Qing Siling, his grandmother was indeed good to him, and in a very doting way. But for Qing Sisi, his grandmother was no different from a child trafficker; she was not good at all.

But now this girl is praising the person she hates the most and who causes her the most pain for her brother's sake.

Only those who are willing to lend a helping hand during the most dangerous and difficult times are truly worthy of our sincere affection.

The green silk is like this, and the green silk Lingyi is like this.

In her previous life, Qing Sisi was taken care of day and night by Qing Siling because of Bai Yu's departure and her family's confinement. She even bought Qing Siling her favorite red strawberries.

Now that the roles are reversed, it's easy for Qing Sisi to change so easily.

“Siling, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept our condolences. Right now, I think what we need to do most is to try to reconcile your parents. No one can be happy in a broken family.”

To be honest, Bai Yu didn't really want Qing Sisi's mother and father to sever all ties. It wasn't that he couldn't see Qing Yu's blind filial piety, but now that the old woman was dead, the old man would definitely behave himself since he wouldn't be able to rely on his father's power anymore.

The root cause is actually these two old guys. Now that one of them has been dealt with, the divorce is no longer necessary.

Of course, Bai Yu was just offering advice; the real decision-making power wasn't with him at all, and he couldn't interfere too much in other people's family matters.

"Bai Yu, come with me, I have something to tell you."

Reaching out to take the brown sugar glutinous rice cake that Qing Sisi handed her, Qing Siling stood up, lifted her clothes, wiped away the pimples and tears on her face, and walked towards the end of the corridor.

Seeing Qing Siling covering his eyes and unable to stop the tears, Bai Yu didn't know what he wanted to say to her, but she still followed him.

Standing at the end of the hospital corridor by the window, Qing Siling turned her back to Bai Yu, looked out at the sunlit city street, and said in a choked voice.

"Bai Yu, could you take care of my sister?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have taken good care of Qing Sisi. She's already an inseparable part of my life."

Looking up, Qing Siling tried to stop her tears from flowing.

"Phew, that's good. Grandma's passing was a blow to both my dad and me, but it was a good thing for my sister and mom. I couldn't make a decision. My dad and mom have completely fallen out and there's no way they can get back together. Our family is doomed, so I hope you can take good care of my sister."

Turning around, Qing Siling's eyes were very red, and the whites of her eyes were covered with blood vessels, which made this handsome man look somewhat delicate.

It's said that a man's crying evokes sympathy and emotion, but this guy's crying is truly different from others.

"I can definitely handle your sister's situation. As for your family matters, I think it would be better to give them some advice."

"Don't try to persuade her anymore, it's useless. My mom and dad have completely fallen out. Now she's probably going to dig up evidence of my dad's past crimes and make him serve his life in jail, so it's a fight to the death."

After saying that, Qing Siling laughed, but he was also crying at the same time. This kind of blow was really too big for him. Even though he was twenty years old, he still couldn't bear it instantly.

"So... what do you plan to do next?"

Bai Yu wasn't worried about what would happen if Qing's mother and father fell out. He just wanted to know what Qing Siling would do and what her plans were after things couldn't be resolved tactfully.

“I don’t need to worry about that. Although my mom and dad have completely fallen out, no matter how much they fight, I will eventually have to stay with my dad.”

"Why? Your mother clearly cares for you more than your father, and she understands what it means to be a parent. Why choose your father?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Siling shook her head at Bai Yu, her reddened eyes filled with weariness.

“There are some things you don’t understand. For example, my grandma is very, very good to me, but she treats Sisi worse than a stranger. My mom is very good to me, and my dad is no bad either.”
