Ye Qing still couldn't believe Xi Yue's words from before, and now she was acting like she was short of money. If this was Xi Yue's true intention, Ye Qing really didn't believe it.
Although Ye Qing told Xi Yue that he didn't care about the money, at that time Ye Qing thought that Xi Yue would definitely give him some time to raise the money.
