If a person wanted to die, there was no way of stopping him. If he helped them this time, there was sure to be a next time.
He was already advanced in age. All he wanted was to live his golden years restfully. He had no desire to get himself involved in this mess.
Since Shi Qing refused to meet Qiu Chenxi, Qiu Chenxi had no other choice. Because she had not been able to get Shi Peng's help, Qiu Chenxi had no other choice but to find Shi Qing for help. Shi Peng was her uncle. Logically, it would probably be easier to persuade Shi Peng than Shi Qing. When they were younger, Qiu Chenxi had had many conflicts with Shi Qing and had even bullied Shi Qing.
Shi Qing was never one who was good with words. Qiu Chenxi wanted to forget their childhood experiences but was unable to do so. Desperate times called for desperate measures. Qiu Chenxi had not wanted to ask Shi Qing for a favor, in case she was humiliated if Shi Qing were to refuse her.
