Chapter 750: Chapter 749: Tong Yunshu’s Persistence
Qin Huai’an carefully sized up the girl in front of him and nodded secretly.
No wonder she could lead his beloved granddaughter to wear the "green hat"; the girl before him truly had innate beauty.
In terms of beauty, she was a match for his own granddaughter, and she also possessed a distinct feminine quality that his granddaughter did not have.
As a man, although Qin Huai’an was now old and had long lost much interest in romantic affairs, he had been young once and knew all too well how much allure Tong Yunshu’s unique quality could have on a normal man.
Just as he was about to avert his gaze, Qin Huai’an suddenly had a thought and intensively reexamined Tong Yunshu, then exclaimed in surprise after a moment, "Have you practiced the Great Yellow Court Technique?"
Tong Yunshu was secretly surprised, not expecting Qin Huai’an to be so knowledgeable about the Great Yellow Court Technique. She did not hide it and nodded, saying, "Yes, Elder."
Qin Huai’an couldn’t help but stand up and after observing carefully for a moment, he asked, "What Realm are you at now?"
Tong Yunshu thought for a while and replied, "Energy Transformation Realm Sixth Rank, nearly Seventh."
Qin Huai’an couldn’t help but his pupils constricted.
He had previously learned about Tong Yunshu’s information, knowing she was a business genius of the Tong Family, but aside from Tong Yan, others in the Tong Family were too low in martial talent, and no good prospects had emerged. Tong Yunshu, walking a business path, thus had not received much martial cultivation resources, and had always been at External Strength Cultivation level, good enough to strengthen the body and offer some self-defense capabilities for ordinary people.
Thus, Tong Yunshu’s ability was inherited from Tong Yan’s Great Yellow Court, meaning, it was passed to her only when Tong Yan died.
How long has it been?
The more Qin Huai’an thought about it, the more astonished he became. He took a deep look at Tong Yunshu and pointing at a chair opposite him, he said, "Don’t be formal, sit down. After all, I’ve been an old friend of your Third Grandpa for many years."
This sentence bridged the distance between them, and Tong Yunshu’s nervousness dissipated a lot. She nodded and walked over to sit on the chair.
Suddenly, the tent fell somewhat silent.
Qin Huai’an didn’t know how to start.
Initially, he had just felt humiliated that his granddaughter had been cuckolded and wanted to see who the other party was.
But now that he had met her, he felt that his actions were somewhat rash and impetuous.
Why should he, an old man, meddle unnecessarily in the emotional entanglements of young people?
However, as Tong Yunshu gradually calmed down, she regained her usual confidence and took the initiative to say, "Elder, did you call me here to inquire about the matter with Yang Fei?"
Qin Huai’an was somewhat embarrassed by the question.
Tong Yunshu continued, "Indeed, I was wrong in this matter, and so was our Tong Family."
Qin Huai’an was startled, not expecting her to admit her fault so candidly.
"The Tong Family has always relied solely on Third Grandpa, yet he was attacked and killed prematurely. He did not want to see the Tong Family decline, so he planned for the future with me, thus deceiving Yang Fei," Tong Yunshu explained the past events.
Tong Yunshu concluded, "Therefore, Yang Fei is not to blame; he was also a victim of my scheme and lost his chastity to me unknowingly. To Qin Yanyang, he was not truly unfaithful."
Qin Huai’an heaved a deep sigh.
Tong Yan wanted to tie Yang Fei to the Tong Family for the future of the family, which as a family head like Qin Huai’an, he could understand.
But did it really have to be this way?
He looked at Tong Yunshu and asked, "So, your involvement with Yang Fei is not out of genuine feelings but for the sake of the Tong Family’s future?"
Tong Yunshu trembled all over and slowly shook her head, "Honestly, if it were only for the future of the Tong Family, I wouldn’t entrust my life to a stranger, but he... Yang Fei has a fatal attraction to me. I truly like him, which is why I cooperated with Third Grandpa’s plan."
Qin Huai’an sighed heavily.
He had already seen it; this girl, just like his own granddaughter, truly loved Yang Fei deeply.
This inexplicably agitated him.
What’s so good about that guy?
Uh... he seems indeed quite outstanding.
But... his character isn’t that great.
Even if he was manipulated by Tong Yan and Tong Yunshu and forced to be with Tong Yunshu, couldn’t he have honestly told my granddaughter in person?
At that time, although the two of them were married, they had not yet consummated their marriage. If Yang Fei had been honest, Qin Yanyang might have divorced him and cut off all ties right away.
Or, because of Yang Fei’s excellence, as long as he promised not to associate with Tong Yunshu anymore, she might have forgiven him.
However, this possibility was somewhat low.
Knowing his own granddaughter well, Qin Huai’an knew she was a person who could not tolerate any deceit. Even if the betrayal wasn’t originally Yang Fei’s intention, since Yang Fei was already involved with Tong Yunshu, Qin Yanyang would probably decisively step back and support Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu being together.
Yet, at the time, Yang Fei did not confess everything to Qin Yanyang.
He chose to hide it.
And later, he even harbored ambitions of having them both, wanting to enjoy the blessings of both women.
As a man, Qin Huai’an understood this kind of ’ambition’ from Yang Fei.
But as the grandfather of Qin Yanyang, who was his most beloved granddaughter, he could not tolerate Yang Fei being so ’ambitious.’
However, now that Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei were truly husband and wife, Qin Huai’an understood even more that deep down Qin Yanyang couldn’t let go of Yang Fei, loving him to her very bones.
Plus, considering the current situation from Qin Huai’an’s perspective, he did not wish for them to split over this.
But still, there was Tong Yunshu in the middle of everything.
And this time, for Tong Yunshu, Yang Fei even risked entering the Hidden Sect to rescue her.
Given Yang Fei’s character, he probably wouldn’t give up Tong Yunshu for Qin Yanyang.
Of course, he wouldn’t give up Qin Yanyang for Tong Yunshu either.
This guy is indeed greedy, wanting both.
"So if senior intends to persuade me to step back from this relationship, please forgive me as I cannot agree," said Tong Yunshu resolutely, lifting her head to look at Qin Huai’an.
Qin Huai’an looked at her and saw a kind of tenacity and persistence in her bright eyes.
He couldn’t help but say, "So in your heart, even knowing he has a wife, you don’t mind?"
Tong Yunshu bit her lip hearing this, and after a long pause, she nodded firmly: "I won’t give up. Unless he tells me to my face that he doesn’t love me."
Compared to Qin Yanyang’s pride, Tong Yunshu was more accommodating towards Yang Fei. She too wished for Yang Fei to love only her, but she also understood that this man had a place in his heart for Qin Yanyang, a place that was irreplaceable.
She also knew Yang Fei truly cared for her, so even in this era, she was willing to bear the stigma of being the other woman and would not back down voluntarily.
Even deep down inside, she thought if Qin Yanyang couldn’t accept this relationship and couldn’t forgive Yang Fei, then the ultimate victor would be her, Tong Yunshu.
Even if such a victory was not glorious, devoid of the joy of a fair competition, she wouldn’t care.
Since Third Grandpa Tong Yan passed away, Yang Fei had become her world, the biggest support for the Tong Family to continue with dignity.
Looking at the woman’s firm gaze in front of him, Qin Huai’an suddenly became worried.
He didn’t doubt his own granddaughter’s feelings for Yang Fei, but he was concerned that the girl was too stubborn, too obstinate, possibly leading her to lose out to the Tong family girl in front of him, thereby losing Yang Fei.
But the feelings of young people were something he, as an old man, also found somewhat incomprehensible. He had once tried to persuade Qin Yanyang, but to no avail.
