Everything happened too quickly, catching her completely off guard.
"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid? I've seen for a long time that you have feelings for Muye. And this boy Muye, I knew it. The way he looks at you is different. How can he be with another man today?"
Elder Madam Qing held Meng Jingwei's hand, gently patting her hand. "Grandma has been through it. I know the madness of being in love. But it's not good for you to continue like this. However, I'm very happy that Muye has finally found someone he likes. Honestly, if he hadn't confessed to you, I would have started introducing you to someone. I've already picked out five or six good boys for you and planned to arrange meetings."
She genuinely liked Meng Jingwei, doting on her like her own granddaughter.
She had thought that if she and Qing Muye had no fate, it would be fine to have her as a god-granddaughter. She never expected that fate would bring them together in mutual affection.
Elder Madam Qing's heart was overflowing with joy.
However, as one aged, they couldn't withstand the ups and downs of their heart like a roller coaster. It had been quite a ordeal for her.
"Grandma..."
Meng Jingwei didn't know how to respond.
"Don't make it difficult for Awei. Since I promised her, I will naturally fulfill my commitment and give her some time," Qing Muye said, not wanting to see Elder Madam Qing 'pressuring' Meng Jingwei.
"Tsk tsk, the stubborn boy has finally opened up and knows how to care for someone."
Elder Madam Qing shook her head, sighing, "Alas, it's good, it's good. Jingwei is a wonderful girl, more than enough." She then asked, "Jingwei girl looks a lot like Li Yun'er. Why do you only like Jingwei girl? Although you are my biological grandson, I'm telling you, if your Jingwei girl is just playing around, I'll skin you alive!"
In Elder Madam Qing's heart, Meng Jingwei was her granddaughter, and she couldn't tolerate Qing Muye ultimately failing Meng Jingwei.
"I have never liked Li Yun'er," he stated.
"That's good then."
Elder Madam Qing nodded and let out a long sigh. Although she was happy that Qing Muye, who had been single for twenty to thirty years, had finally found a wife, she still found it troublesome with all the rumors circulating outside.
"Then, what do you say we do about today's matter?"
As she spoke, she patted Meng Jingwei's hand again. "Alas, Jingwei, it's this unfilial boy Muye who wronged you. If he hadn't gotten engaged to Li Yun'er back then, your child would probably be crying already."
"Grandma, that's all in the past."
Thinking about the past, Meng Jingwei still felt a pang of sadness.
But at that time, Qing Muye didn't like her, and she didn't like him either.
If she calculated carefully, they had known each other for eight months.
In those eight months, they had experienced a lot, which gradually brought them closer.
"Grandma is old, and you know my health is declining day by day. I just want to hold a great-grandchild."
"But Grandma, I... I'm not ready yet."
They had only just started dating. If they got engaged, Meng Jingwei feared what would happen if Qing Muye stopped liking her one day? Or, after spending time together, she found that Qing Muye wasn't the type she liked, what then?
"Give Awei some time. I'll handle the public opinion issues," Qing Muye interjected, interrupting their conversation.
"That's fine too."
Elder Madam Qing nodded. "Alright, alright, Grandma will wait for you. You two ungrateful children, dating and keeping it from me, making an old woman like me worry sick."
She reached out and patted the driver's seat, warning, "Especially you. You're all grown up, can't you go to a hotel if you don't have money? Messing around with the girl in the fitting room. You have no shame, but do you think Jingwei girl has no shame like you?"
The words made Meng Jingwei's face, which had just returned to normal, blush deeply once more.
Oh my goodness, this incident would never be forgotten.
Thinking of this, Meng Jingwei felt both angry and annoyed, wishing she could beat Qing Muye to death.
She had completely lost face!
"Grandma's scolding is correct."
Qing Muye looked up and saw Meng Jingwei turning her head to look out the window, her face flushed, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright then, I'll handle your uncles and aunts. As for the external media, you'd better sort it out quickly," Elder Madam Qing warned repeatedly.
"No problem."
Qing Muye agreed.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the private hospital. Qing Muye had made arrangements with Song Jun in advance, so there were no reporters here.
After escorting the old lady to the ward, Qing Muye said to Meng Jingwei, "Awei, I want to talk to Grandma alone."
"Oh, okay, then I'll wait outside."
Meng Jingwei nodded, turned, and walked out of the VIP ward, waiting outside.
Inside the ward, Qing Muye directly said to Elder Madam Qing, "Grandma, Awei is still young, I can wait for her."
"Alas, you can wait, but Grandma is afraid she can't afford to wait," Elder Madam Qing leaned against the headboard, sighing. "Besides, she's still young, you can get engaged first. Even if you don't inform the outside world, we can meet her parents privately and finalize things, can't we?"
Speaking of this, Elder Madam Qing shook her head and poked Qing Muye's head. "You useless thing, you can stir up trouble in the business world, but you can't even handle Jingwei girl now."
"Since I like her, I naturally have to respect her."
He used to be domineering and cold. When he wanted Meng Jingwei, he took her without mercy.
At that time, he just wanted to satisfy his own 'desire'.
But now it was different. He knew he had fallen in love with Meng Jingwei, so he cherished and protected her with utmost care, like a treasure.
Perhaps, this was love.
Love made him understand that liking someone meant treating them well and, more importantly, learning to respect them.
"Alright, alright, you've finally opened up. Just date her."
The old lady sighed again. "You're not young anymore. You've finally found a wife, and this old woman can finally rest assured. Jingwei girl is sensible. Although she's not a daughter of a noble family, she's still a rare and excellent girl. You must cherish her."
"Also, that girl is shy. Don't always take her out fooling around. How did I not notice you were so reckless before? Always causing such embarrassing things outside. You're twenty-eight years old, you could hold back for twenty-seven years, right? You only got together with her yesterday, and you're already this impatient?"
Speaking of this, Elder Madam Qing thought of something else and said, "If you want her, take her to a hotel. If that's not possible, bring Jingwei girl back to the old house more often. I'll cover for you, okay?"
If they dated more, and the two spent more time together, children would naturally come.
With children, everything would be easier to talk about.
Elder Madam Qing was scheming in her heart.
"Awei and I have decided not to reveal our relationship to anyone at present. Including Uncle Seven," he said.
"I'm old, but my eyes aren't blind. I knew Uncle Seven wasn't having good intentions when I heard the recording of you and Uncle Seven exposed on the news last time." Speaking of this, a hint of guilt appeared on Elder Madam Qing's face. "Uncle Seven is an illegitimate child and also a pitiable person. I know his little thoughts clearly. I just feel he hasn't had an easy life, so as long as he doesn't go too far, I'll forgive him."
