Still Have This Side – Chapter 50

Speak nicely, don’t resort to pushing and shoving.

Yi Wanyue saw Qiu Baiyu’s expression of understanding and probably guessed that she knew these two people, so she protected them in front, quietly turning back to ask, “Who are they?”

Qiu Baiyu held Qiu Zimin steadily in her embrace, responding in a low voice, “Xiaomin’s grandparents, the couple who used her to ask for money, you know them, right?”

Yi Wanyue suddenly realized.

She indeed understood this couple.

Previously, in order to save Qiu Zimin from being disturbed by the fate of a vicious supporting female character, she had learned quite a bit about Qiu Zimin’s matters, including this couple.

Qiu Zimin was decided by her mother alone to be born.

She didn’t tell Jiang Shen, nor did she need to tell Jiang Shen.

From a one-night dewdrop romance, what result could they have?

She believed she could raise the child to grow up on her own.

Unfortunately, fate tricks people; she passed away due to illness one year after giving birth to Qiu Zimin, leaving this world.

The still babbling child naturally stayed with her grandparents.

The couple was not as kind as their daughter.

They didn’t like this sudden granddaughter.

Their daughter gave birth unmarried, and if word got out, others would laugh at them, leaving them with nowhere to show their old faces!

Their strong demeanor and love of face also created Qiu Zimin’s timidness.

She couldn’t even cry anymore, because no one would hug her, since her grandparents didn’t like children who cried.

After learning who their granddaughter’s father was, the couple finally liked this child a bit more.

A bit, with greedy affection.

That was a wealthy family, whose home threshold might even be inlaid with gold, a rich family they couldn’t even dream of.

Yet today, they actually transformed, becoming the wealthy family’s in-laws.

With great wealth falling from the sky, how could they not catch it?

They wanted to take the child to find Jiang Shen, to ask him for money—a lot of money!

But a big company boss isn’t so easy to meet, and they had no connections to help pass the message.

Even when Jiang Shen’s subordinate helped pass the message, upon hearing them say he had a child, the other party sneered—he simply didn’t believe it.

They faced complete rejection.

But they didn’t give up and insisted on visiting.

Finally, in the year Qiu Zimin turned three, they brought the child to meet her father.

At that time, Jiang Shen’s parents were also present.

Although the Jiang couple didn’t want to admit it, they indeed saw the shadow of their son’s childhood in the young child.

This perhaps really was their granddaughter.

A granddaughter with an unknown background.

Because of his parents’ hesitation and wanting to quickly get that annoying couple to leave, Jiang Shen decided to do a paternity test.

Little Qiu Zimin walked and ran among a group of adults.

When everyone looked at her, their eyes always carried some scrutiny.

There was no love, no one loved her.

She didn’t know anything.

The paternity test results came out, leaving no doubt.

The Jiang family was very surprised.

No one expected the result to be like this.

The Jiang couple didn’t like this child from a mismatched family; it was too sudden for them to accept.

But in the end, they still took her away.

Because they saw the Wang couple’s greed, leaving the child with them was equivalent to leaving them a handle, a reason to visit and make trouble countless times.

So they took Jiang Zimin away and threw a sum of money to the Wang couple.

That was what the Wang couple called: the hard work fee for raising the child.

And, hush money.

They happily took the money and slipped away, leaving Qiu Zimin with the Jiang family.

When Qiu Zimin arrived at the Jiang family, she was all alone, without even a change of clothes—her grandparents hadn’t left her anything.

But she knew, from today on, she had a dad.

She had a new home.

But, her dad didn’t love her either.

But her dad can guarantee her life.

She can dress very well, eat very well, and have many toys.

But she has no friends.

She doesn’t know how to make friends.

She also can’t win her dad’s favor, but she wants to win his favor, and wants to always, always stay by his side.

She didn’t want to return to that previous home.

Until later, she met Qiu Baiyu.

Her auntie took her away from her dad and gave her a beautiful home.

This home has so much love, so much freedom, all for her, and she doesn’t need to try very hard to get it.

But today, the couple who left her with her dad came again.

Yi Wanyue lowered her head and saw Qiu Zimin hiding in Qiu Baiyu’s arms, tightly clutching Qiu Baiyu’s clothes, looking so small, helpless, and scared.

At this moment, she thought of something and looked up at Qiu Baiyu.

Their eyes met, flickering as if they already knew what the other was thinking—

Could it be… this is Qiu Zimin’s 1%?

Qiu Zimin’s grandmother, Li Ting, saw two unfamiliar faces blocking them, preventing them from asking Qiu Zimin for money, and immediately shouted: “Who are you! I’m talking to my family’s child, what does it have to do with you!”

Wang Jianjun also said: “This is our granddaughter, idle people should quickly walk away!”

Li Ting said to Qiu Zimin: “Why are you standing there in a daze, quickly come to your grandmother!”

Aggressive and showing a fierce appearance.

Qiu Zimin clutched Qiu Baiyu’s clothes even tighter.

—She doesn’t want to go!

Qiu Baiyu could sense the child in her arms was trembling.

Just then, the system jumped up to issue a task, requiring her to hand over Qiu Zimin.

Handing her over now without causing the child psychological trauma would be impossible.

Qiu Baiyu couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

“Your family’s child? Did you bring the household registration book? Take it out and let me see.

“Just saying with empty words that someone else’s child is yours, you two can’t be child traffickers, right?”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Wang Jianjun said angrily.

They were already angry upon hearing that their granddaughter had gone with Jiang Shen’s ex-wife, and didn’t expect someone here to oppose them too!

Seeing the crowd of onlookers growing larger, the accusation of being child traffickers was even more unbearable for them.

Li Ting angrily pushed Qiu Baiyu’s shoulder.

“Who’s the child trafficker? Stop slandering people here!”

Yi Wanyue’s expression changed, and she coldly grabbed Li Ting’s hand: “Speak nicely, don’t resort to pushing and shoving.”

“Who are you!”

Li Ting instantly raised her voice.

Just as Yi Wanyue was about to say something, Qiu Baiyu suddenly stood in front of her, signaling her not to panic, then turned unhurriedly to the couple and said: “If you have something to say, say it, but don’t resort to pushing and shoving. I’m not someone with good manners who’s easy to bully.”

The old couple laughed upon hearing this tone.

No manners?

What else can she do to them?

They’ve lived so many years, can they still be threatened by this little girl?

Li Ting immediately started pushing her a second time, a third time: “I just pushed you, what can you do to me? I just pushed!”

Wang Jianjun stood arrogantly with hands on hips on the side: “What can you do!”

As a result, Qiu Baiyu fell directly to the ground right in front of their faces.

Wang Jianjun and his wife: “?”

Yi Wanyue: “?”

Qiu Zimin: “?”

Following that, Qiu Baiyu then began to shout in pain with her eyes closed: “My waist—”

Wang Jianjun and his wife: “???”

Yi Wanyue and Qiu Zimin hurriedly squatted down to check her condition, their expressions tense.

“Baiyu? Baiyu, how are you? Are you okay?”

Yi Wanyue’s face was anxious, her fingers hesitant, not daring to touch her easily.

If Qiu Baiyu got into any trouble because of being pushed by these two people, she absolutely wouldn’t let them go!

Her cry was urgent, and then her hand was gently grasped.

She looked toward Qiu Baiyu and saw her quietly give a wink—she’s fine, just pretending.

Yi Wanyue’s eyebrows immediately relaxed a lot.

She understood.

Qiu Baiyu wants to deal with this couple.

Although she doesn’t know exactly what Qiu Baiyu wants to do, she still first helps by bringing the frightened Qiu Zimin over to protect and comfort, so she can act freely.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t speak, trust auntie.”

Qiu Zimin heard Yi Wanyue quietly say this sentence in her ear.

She bewilderedly blinked her eyes.

What is going on here…

Yi Wanyue carefully picked up Qiu Baiyu, letting her lean in her arms to act.

The ground is cold and dirty, so leaning in her arms is better.

Wang Jianjun and Li Ting watched Qiu Baiyu leaning in Yi Wanyue’s arms, wailing in pain, half believing and half doubting.

Wang Jianjun said: “Who are you trying to scare? My wife just lightly pushed you, how could it have pushed you like this?”

Li Ting hurriedly echoed: “Exactly!”

“It’s so painful!”

Qiu Baiyu suddenly raised her voice, attracting the onlookers’ attention around, then looked at them pitifully.

“We were speaking nicely with you, why did you have to push us… If you can’t win the argument, do you start pushing? Could it be that you really are child traffickers?

“Today you’re trying to take my family’s child, will you take someone else’s child next time?!”

Neighbors all know Qiu Baiyu and Qiu Zimin. Hearing her wailing, they really thought these were child traffickers and one after another stood out to help, grabbing the Wang couple and not letting them go.

“What are you doing hitting people!”

“Snatching children in broad daylight, is there no law!”

“Wait to see the police, you!”

The property manager and security also rushed over, busy asking what happened.

Kind people around then told them one by one, describing Qiu Baiyu as very miserable and the couple as very wicked.

The scene became very lively, far beyond the Wang couple’s control.

They came not only to question why Qiu Zimin walked with another woman, but also to ask Qiu Zimin for money.

This child is really not the same as before.

They heard Jiang Shen gave her a lot, so much that she wouldn’t need to work for the rest of her life, so their greed arose, and they actively came to her.

Who knew such a roadblock would emerge halfway!

She even slandered them as human traffickers!

The couple was dumbfounded.

They really didn’t expect to find themselves standing here, bitterly explaining to others that they’re not human traffickers.

“We really aren’t human traffickers!”

“Exactly, don’t listen to her nonsense, we’re really this child’s grandparents!”

“If you don’t believe it, just ask this child! She’s the one we raised!”

Qiu Baiyu was already helped up to sit on a nearby bench acting, while holding Qiu Zimin in her arms, giving her a sense of security.

Qiu Zimin saw her grandparents suddenly point to her and immediately turned her head away, hiding in Qiu Baiyu’s arms.

Yi Wanyue saw this and spoke first: “I haven’t seen any child so afraid to see their grandparents.”

“Even if we step back and say you are her grandparents, did you do something to her before that made her so afraid of you?

“Could it be that you… abused the child?”

As the words fell, Yi Wanyue’s gaze suddenly became sharp.

Qiu Baiyu secretly praised in her heart.

As expected of her, this cooperation was played well!

As soon as Wang Jianjun and his wife heard these words, they hurriedly said to the surrounding people: “We did not abuse the child, don’t just put labels on us!”

The property manager looked them over, then looked at Qiu Zimin hiding in Qiu Baiyu’s arms, and sternly said: “Since you say you’re her grandparents and didn’t abuse her, then why does she look like she doesn’t want to see you?”

“How would we know!” Wang Jianjun said, “You have to ask this ungrateful child!”

“Hey, don’t talk about the child like that, she’s still listening.”

The property manager turned and walked towards Qiu Zimin, squatted down, and spoke kindly.

“Xiaomin, tell auntie, are they your grandparents?”

Qiu Zimin looked at her and cautiously nodded her head.

Wang Jianjun and Li Ting immediately said to the surrounding people: “Look, look! We said we’re not human traffickers!”

The property manager ignored them and asked Qiu Zimin again: “Then why don’t you want to see them?”

Qiu Zimin held Qiu Baiyu’s hand and hesitated to speak.

Qiu Baiyu softly encouraged, “Boldly tell auntie, it’s okay, with aunties here, no one can bully you.”

Qiu Zimin gained confidence and slowly began to speak: “Because I’m afraid they’ll take me back to my father’s side… I don’t like my father, and I don’t want to go to his house.

“I also don’t want to help them ask my father for money anymore.

“My father doesn’t like me always asking him for money, and my grandparents will scold me too…”

There was a time before when her grandparents always made her ask her father for money, saying it was what she should do.

But her father and grandparents would be very angry, saying her grandparents were very greedy and wouldn’t allow her to contact or interact with them again.

If she couldn’t get money, her grandparents would be angry with her.

If she went to ask for money, her father would be angry with her.

They all didn’t love her; only her auntie loved her.

Auntie didn’t need her to ask anyone for money; auntie only wanted her to be happy and joyful. Auntie would also eat with her at the school gate and would buy her deep-fried steaming starch sausages.

Two pieces, with extra tomato sauce and salad dressing.

This is the life she likes, and she doesn’t want to return to the past.

The young, cautious voice lightly fell into the silence of everyone.

For a moment, hostility from all directions silently surged towards Wang Jianjun and Li Ting, with everyone flaying them with eyes full of disgust.

“Don’t be afraid, our Xiaomin is already very brave,” the property manager reached out and touched Qiu Zimin’s face, “Next, auntie and security uncle will handle everything.”

Then she lifted her head again and said to Qiu Baiyu, “We’re very sorry for allowing unrelated personnel to enter this community and cause you trouble. May I ask how you wish us to remedy this?”

Qiu Baiyu lightly raised her eyes.

“Since they first treated my child as an ATM and casually started a fight, I think my child doesn’t need to treat them as grandparents anymore, so—let them leave.”

The property manager expressed understanding, got up to start expelling them, then heard Qiu Baiyu suddenly shout, “Wait.”

Yi Wanyue looked at Qiu Baiyu and saw her slowly supporting her waist and straightening her back, her face grimacing: “Still, let them go with me to the hospital first.”

Li Ting sternly asked, “Why go to the hospital!”

Seeing her so fierce, Qiu Baiyu immediately added two coughs, then slowly said, “You hit me, and now I feel uncomfortable. Shouldn’t you take me for a check-up and help pay my medical expenses?

“The neighbors all saw you push me; you wouldn’t hit someone and then want to run, right? Cough, cough…

“Ah, why is my head also starting to hurt—”

She decided to use all her acting skills to give these two, who wouldn’t speak nicely, an old lesson!

Under the pressure of public opinion, Wang Jianjun and his wife had to reluctantly take Qiu Baiyu to the hospital for examination.

After arriving at the hospital, every possible examination for Qiu Baiyu, Yi Wanyue requested them all.

She also wanted to give Qiu Baiyu a thorough check, in case she really suffered some injury.

Finally, the examination results showed that Qiu Baiyu was very healthy.

Yi Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief.

But because Qiu Baiyu insisted she had a headache, the doctor told her to go back and rest well, and if she still felt a headache after a few days, to come back to the hospital.

The costs for this series of examinations were naturally all paid by the couple who hit her.

The two were so angry their gums itched.

They originally came to ask their granddaughter for money, never expecting to end up losing money instead!

And the culprit, avoiding the property personnel, was holding the examination results and standing in front of them, calmly saying, “Luckily, I didn’t suffer any problems from the fall, otherwise your wallets would have really bled.”

Wang Jianjun and his wife: “…”

They couldn’t speak, couldn’t say a word!

Qiu Baiyu waved her hand: “Leaving now, if fate allows, I’ll let you two help me pay medical expenses again in the future.”

Then she turned and greeted the property manager over there, held Qiu Zimin, and, supported by Yi Wanyue, walked out of the hospital step by step.

—Continue the act to the end.

Wang Jianjun and his wife watched her leaving back, their teeth almost grinding to pieces.

They really didn’t expect someone who looked so gentle and weak to have this side; they indeed encountered a tough nut!
