A microscopic analysis of the optical potentials (OPs) and cross sections of quasielastic scattering of $^{12,14}$Be on $^{12}$C at 56 MeV/nucleon and on protons at energy near 700 MeV is carried out. For lower energy scattering the real part of the OP is calculated by using of double-folding procedure accounting for the anti-symmetrization effects, while the imaginary part is obtained on the base of the high-energy approximation (HEA). The HEA is also applied to the calculations of both real and imaginary OPs when solving the relativistic equation for the high-energy proton-nucleus elastic scattering. The neutron and proton density distributions computed in different microscopic models for $^{12}$Be and $^{14}$Be are used. In the present hybrid model of the optical potential the only free parameters are the depths of the real and imaginary parts of OP obtained by fitting the experimental data. The role of the inelastic scattering channel to the first excited $2^{+}$ and $3^{-}$ states in $^{12}$C when calculating the quasielastic cross sections, as well as the modified density of the $^{12}$C target accounting for the surface effects are studied. In addition, the cluster model, in which $^{14}$Be consists of a $2n$-halo and the $^{12}$Be core, is applied to calculate the cross sections of diffraction breakup and stripping reactions in $^{14}$Be+$^{12}$C scattering and longitudinal momentum distributions of $^{12}$Be fragments at energy of 56 MeV/nucleon. A good agreement of the theoretical results with the available experimental data of both quasielstic scattering and breakup processes is obtained.
