Elder Qu’s thoughts were caught by Elder Liu. He touched his nose in embarrassment.
Chen Meng’er also understood the whole story from Elder Qu’s words and Elder Liu’s supplementary actions.
It turned out that Sun Guoqiang’s father, Elder Sun, had once helped Elder Qu by chance when he was young. Although the Sun family and the Qu family did not have any interactions over the years, Elder Qu had always been thinking about the little favor Elder sun had done for him back then. Usually, he would ask his children to help out the Sun family a little.
After Elder Qu handed this matter over to his sons, he did not take it to heart. This time, Elder Qu was very angry that Sun Guoqiang had provoked Chen Meng’er, but he did not think about the relationship between Sun Guoqiang and the Sun family.
When he returned to his house, he saw that Sun Guoqiang was holding onto the trembling Elder sun, who was leaning on his walking stick. They were sitting in his living room, waiting for him.
At first glance, Elder Qu was quite happy to see Elder Sun. After not seeing him for so many years, he wanted to catch up with his old friend. However, Elder Sun, who had something on his mind, was not in the mood to catch up with Elder Qu. He directly went straight to the point and told him the purpose of this visit.
Elder Sun was not polite with his words. He directly told him about how he had helped Elder Qu in the past.
Elder Sun’s tone was resolute. Sun Guoqiang’s expression made Elder Qu and even the rest of the Qu family feel very uncomfortable. The smile on Elder Qu’s face at that time was gone. He felt that the kind smile on his face back then and the friend who helped him was gone.
What was left was a face that was somewhat sinister for the sake of fame and fortune.
If it were according to Elder Qu’s usual temper, he would have long flicked his sleeves and left. However, due to the kindness that Elder Sun had shown him in the past, he could only restrain himself.
After Chen Meng’er heard this, she pondered for a while and asked Elder Qu, “Then Grandpa, what do you think?”
“Sigh, to be honest, I really feel that it’s a little difficult.” Elder Qu sighed.
The duo felt that Elder Qu owed them a favor. Therefore, Elder Qu had to help them. Elder Qu was very angry with the attitude of Elder Sun and Sun Guoqiang. If it weren’t for Elder Sun helping him, he would have asked people to kick them out. “Hey, Meng’er, you didn’t see the attitude of those two. I almost got angry. Tell me, what kind of attitude should one have when they ask for help?”
“It’s your fault for giving them too much face. If it were up to me, I would say that the small favor that Sun Qiang helped you with back then had long been repaid after so many years. Moreover, it was because you had been helping the Sun family for so many years that the two were getting more and more insatiable. Humph, if you ask me, you should have taken out your usual imposing manner at that time and directly chased them out.” Elder Liu was originally a person who was used to doing as he pleased.
He did not care about the eyes of outsiders, but Elder Qu was different. He thought too much and had to worry too much.
Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Qu’s conflicted appearance and understood that he could not be like Elder Liu. He would not abandon the Qu family’s reputation and disregard it. And it was precisely because the duo had grasped this weakness of Elder Qu that they were so arrogant.
“Alright, Grandpa, the two of you should calm down. I think this matter is very simple.” Chen Meng’er turned her head. She said to Elder Qu, “Since you are still concerned about the Sun family’s favor to you, you don’t have to care about the Sun family’s matter this time. Later, you can also talk to them very easily. Just say that your ability is limited and you can’t intervene in this matter. In any case, you can push it.” Chen Meng’er had an idea.
“It can only be like this. However, I just feel uncomfortable in my heart.” Elder Qu had never felt so aggrieved before.
“Hmph, you deserve it. In any case, I don’t like the Sun family very much.” Elder Liu’s current state was no different from a child.
Elder Qu was enlightened by Chen Meng’er, and his heart was immediately at ease. He thought it through. “Alright, I won’t care about this matter. You can do whatever you want.” Elder Qu decided to tell his family when he returned, in the future, when he saw the two, he would just avoid them.
Chen Meng’er was a little speechless at the actions of Elder Sun and Mr. Sun. Moreover, she did not think that the Sun family’s current situation would be helped even if they were to seek help from the Qu family. It would have been fine if the things that Sun Guoqiang had done had not been exposed, but now it was too late. How could he escape so easily?
Moreover, if it was not done well, he might even have to go to prison. Sun Guoqiang had done many illegal things.
In addition, Sun Guoqiang had offended not just one person, but entire families. He had even offended most of the people in the upper-class circle. He had offended too many people, and there were also many who wanted to kill him. In such a situation, if he were to look for the Qu family, how could the Qu family intervene and help him?
The Qu family would not let their family fall into an embarrassing situation just because of a small favor.
Based on Chen Meng’er’s understanding of the Sun family, Elder Sun and Mr. Sun would definitely feel that with the Qu family’s help, they could rest easy.
