Chapter 149: No One Asked Me to Do That
Even if Aunt Hao refused to tell them the truth, Old Master Ye had already guessed who the perpetrator was.
He silently heaved a long sigh.
“Miss Qiao Qiao, it’s true that nobody ordered me to do so. I was wrong. I...”
“Aunt Hao, it seems that you still don’t want to tell us the truth. What kind of benefits did that person give you? Aren’t you afraid of grandpa?” Ye Qiao said angrily.
“Miss Qiao Qiao! I...”
“Xiao Hao, tell us now! If not, I might be crueler to you than that person!” Old Master Ye added sternly.
Aunt Hao kneeled on the floor at once. “Old Master, please do forgive me. Actually, I was ordered to do so by your daughter-in-law—Qin Lan. That’s a laxative... I actually didn’t want to do so... I...”
Although Old Master Ye had guessed it, he still felt quite upset and sad when he heard that it was Qin Lan.
In the past, Qiao Qiao was not very outstanding, and her academic results were poor. Therefore, she managed to dodge away from being schemed by Qin Lan. But now that Qiao Qiao became more exceptional, Qin Lan must have grown terribly jealous, so she used such wicked tricks.
“Grandpa!” Ye Qiao called out anxiously, and her eyes became teary. “What have I done wrong? Why did Aunt Qin want to harm me like this?”
“Qiao Qiao, is there anything wrong with your body? Will it affect your examination?” The old man asked her worriedly.
Ye Qiao shook her head. “Actually, I felt that something was wrong a few days ago, so I didn’t dare to eat the porridge at home in the mornings. I’ve probably dumped all of it out of my system!”
In fact, Ye Qiao even had the voice recording of the telephone conversation between Madam Qin and Aunt Hao.
“That’s good! Don’t worry. I’ll give you an explanation and resolve this issue after your exam is over. Don’t be upset, and don’t let this incident affect you!” Old Master Ye patted her eldest granddaughter’s shoulders and said in a deep voice.
There was nothing wrong with Ye Qiao’s drastic change. The one who was wrong was Qin Lan!

The last exam paper was history. Ye Qiao answered all of the questions smoothly. After she checked all of her answers carefully, she left the examination hall 20 minutes before the examination ended.
They still needed to wait for a month for the examination results to be revealed. At that time, Brother Xiao would be home. When she thought about that, she felt rather happy.
After she went home, she took a bath and went to sleep. When she woke up, she heard Madam Qin’s voice coming from downstairs. “Xiao Hao! Go and slaughter a chicken quickly. You need to cook a bowl of chicken soup as a supplement for Zhenzhen. She’s been quite exhausted from all the examinations over the past few days. Please prepare some for Qiao Qiao too!”
Qin Lan sounded quite smug. It was quite annoying to Ye Qiao when she heard her voice.
Ye Qiao deliberately refrained from going downstairs. She only went downstairs when it was time for dinner.
After a short while, her father, who normally never came to the house, appeared. The last time he came was during Chinese New Year. He came to have a reunion dinner with them before he left.
It never occurred to Qin Lan that Ye Shengxun would be there too.
‘Did Old Master Ye ask him to come? It’s Old Master Ye who invited my daughter and me to come over. In fact, I did want to come here too.’
Since that big fight the other day, Ye Shengxun rarely went home.
“Darling, our Zhenzhen did quite well during the examinations. She’ll certainly be admitted to J University!” Madam Qin deliberately held Ye Shengxun’s arm intimately in front of Ye Qiao. She then smiled.
Ye Shengxun nodded but pulled his arm away.
“If Zhenzhen does manage to get admitted to J University, I’ll take you for a trip abroad!” Ye Shengxun smiled faintly as he said.
In fact, Ye Zhenzhen did not have much confidence in her results this time, but she still said smugly in front of Ye Xiao, “Thank you, dad! Dad always treats me the best!”
It was time for dinner soon, so Old Master Ye asked them to go and have dinner in the dining room.
“Darling, Qiao Qiao chose J University too. I advised her otherwise, but she wouldn’t listen to me.” Qin Lan sighed as she said in resignation.
“Qiao Qiao is an adult now. She takes responsibility for her every action.” Ye Shengxun said in an objective manner.
They were a family of five today. After their meal, Old Master Ye started to talk about something.
“Recently, something happened in our family, and it’s so frustrating for me!” The old man’s facial expression turned bitter.
