Ye Qing was well aware of what Xi Quan was saying. She used to think it was best to stall for time, and she even said the same thing when threatening Ye Shuang.
Now it seems that while he wants to drag things out, others don't want him to. Ye Shuwei has already gone this far, so how can Ye Qing still follow the old way of thinking?
She said, "When water comes, earth will block it; when soldiers come, generals will defend them. I used to think that I could just guard against him, but now it seems that's not going to work. Since his purpose in coming back is to find a suitable person to perform the surgery, it seems that I have to go through this. Since I have to guard against him no matter what, I might as well see what he will do next."
There's no reason to constantly guard against thieves.
Ye Qing wanted to find the initiative by observing Ye Shuwei's attitude; otherwise, remaining passively on guard would be too passive.
Seeing Ye Qing's response, Xi Quan could roughly guess what she was thinking, so he didn't continue.
No matter what Ye Qing does, he will always stand by Ye Qing's side.
Ye Qing had slept for quite a while and was really hungry; her stomach was rumbling. Xi Yue, who had been feeling guilty but hadn't had a chance to speak, heard Ye Qing's stomach rumbling and quickly said, "I'll go out and buy you something to eat."
As if afraid that Ye Qing would refuse, Xi Yue turned around after speaking, but Xi Quan stopped her: "Never mind, I wouldn't dare to trouble you, I'll go."
Xi Quan's words caused Xi Yue's expression to change.
Although he said he was going to buy food for Ye Qing, he was worried about Xi Yue, so Xi Quan said, "Come on, come with me."
This made Xi Yue's expression even more unpleasant.
Seeing their reaction, Ye Qing said, "I don't have anything else to do. Talk to the doctor about being discharged, and I'll go with you."
Xi Quan quickly said, "It's already late afternoon, so you can imagine how long you've been asleep. The doctor said earlier that you should be observed after you wake up, since the dosage must be quite large, and you also drank alcohol. Just stay put, I'll go find the doctor and have him come and take a look."
After saying that, Xi Quan went out first.
The doctor performed some basic examinations on Ye Qing and asked her some questions. Although there didn't seem to be any major problems, just as Xi Quan had said before, given that she had taken so many sleeping pills and drunk alcohol, it was only right to be cautious. So, the doctor told Ye Qing to observe her further and they would talk again tomorrow.
Even after the doctor said that, Ye Qing didn't insist on leaving.
Xi Quan went to buy food for Ye Qing, but looking at Xi Yue, he thought for a moment and insisted that Xi Yue come with him.
Seeing Xi Yue's guilty expression and her desire to say something, Ye Qing said, "I'm quite bored by myself. Let Xi Yue talk to me here."
After he finished speaking, Ye Qing saw Xi Yue quickly take his arm and nod vigorously. Ye Qing knew that Xi Yue really wanted to say something to him here, so despite Xi Quan's disapproval, Ye Qing insisted.
In the end, Xi Quan had no choice but to let Xi Yue stay.
"Ye Qing, I'm sorry." As soon as Xi Quan left, Xi Yue apologized to Ye Qing again, and very solemnly, she stood in front of Ye Qing and bowed deeply.
Ye Qing quickly helped Xi Yue up, stared at her for a long time, and then slowly said, "Xi Yue, I can see that this has nothing to do with you, but to say that I have no opinion about you would be a lie. I can't say much about your relationship problems, after all, it's something only you know, so..."
Xi Yue didn't understand Ye Qing as well as Xi Quan did, and wasn't quite sure what Ye Qing meant by his opening remarks. She continued Ye Qing's words, "I know, everyone says we're not a good match, and I also know that Ye Shuwei came back this time to let me know more, mostly to use me. But Ye Qing, believe me, although I'm a bit slow, I'm not stupid. I will never let him use me again, I..."
Ye Qing could see that Xi Yue was kind and knew what was right and what was wrong. However, Ye Qing couldn't always be on guard against Ye Shuwei, just as she couldn't always be on guard against Xi Yue. She was constantly worried that Xi Yue might be being used by Ye Shuwei, or that Xi Yue might be blinded by her feelings and help Ye Shuwei.
Ye Qing hadn't thought this far ahead before, thinking Xi Yue was alright, which is why she continued to work with her. Now that this has happened, Ye Qing feels it's better to keep some distance.
So Ye Qing interrupted Xi Yue: "Xi Yue, I think it's better for us to keep our distance. Of course, by keeping our distance, I don't mean we shouldn't contact each other anymore. It just means that it's better for me to run this store alone. Of course, you've invested a lot of money in this store. I can pay you back now, or you can consider it an investment. In the future, when Qingye makes a profit, I'll give you a share of the profits every year. What do you want to choose?"
Xi Yue never expected Ye Qing to say that. For a long time, she didn't know what to say. After a long while, she finally stammered, "Ye Qing, you... you still blame me, right?"
Ye Qing felt a little helpless after hearing this. She said, "I already said..."
"Yes, yes, you just said you blamed me, but Ye Qing, I promise I won't be used again. Although I may seem to have many friends around me, those friends aren't really that good to me. They only care about my family's situation. And because of Xi Quan, only you directly point out the things you've done wrong or badly to me, and you never try to please me. I..."
Ye Qing thought to herself, "Isn't this obvious? Why can't you understand this issue with Ye Shuwei?" She said, "Xi Yue, since you put it that way, I'll be honest with you too. I genuinely consider you a friend, which is why I did this. If you keep getting involved in the store's affairs, no matter what we do or think, can you guarantee that Ye Shuwei won't take advantage of you? Taking advantage of you once is fine, but taking advantage of me repeatedly might mean we can't even be friends anymore."
Xi Yue lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before finally nodding gently: "I understand. I'm not in a hurry for the money. Take your time. I won't go to the shop anymore."
Just as I finished speaking, there was a knock on the ward door.
Ye Qing called out for Xu Xiaoyue to come in.
As soon as Xu Xiaoyue came in, she rushed to Ye Qing and hugged her. She let go of Ye Qing after a while and said, "When Xi Quan paged me, he was almost scared to death by you. Ye Qing, what happened to you? Are you okay now?"
Upon seeing Xu Xiaoyue, Ye Qing wondered how Xu Xiaoyue knew she was at the hospital. It turned out to be Xi Quan. It has to be said that Xi Quan is really thoughtful, knowing to have Xu Xiaoyue come and keep him company.
Ye Qing felt a little touched.
However, upon hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words, Xi Yue's already unpleasant expression turned even worse. Had her cousin, who usually had a good relationship with her, become so wary of her?
