Although Ye Qing swallowed her words, someone who had been watching from the sidelines slowly walked over and said, "You'd better cry now and see who loses face in the end."
Upon hearing the sound, Xu Ying paused for a moment, her movement of collapsing to the ground froze, and then she quickly stood up. To an uninformed person, it seemed as if she had only stumbled because her legs were weak.
Seeing Xu Ying's actions, Ye Qing chuckled and looked at Xi Quan, who had arrived at some point, saying, "Get your ex-wife out of here."
Although Xi Quan knew Xu Ying was looking for Ye Qing, which is why he came, seeing Ye Qing's eagerness to dump her trash on him, he felt a strange urge to tease her: "You said it yourself, she's your ex-wife, and you're still relatives, you..."
After saying that, Xi Quan saw Ye Qing's expression change and immediately regretted it. He knew what kind of relative this was.
Ye Qing was indeed angered by Xi Quan's words. She sneered, "If I'm not mistaken, it must be your mother who told her where I am, right?"
Ye Qing glanced at Xi Quan and saw that his expression had changed slightly. Regardless of whether Xi Quan's relationship with his mother was as bad as Xi Yue said, Quan Zhen was still Xi Quan's biological mother. It was indeed a bit inappropriate for her to say such things about his biological mother. However, Ye Qing also felt wronged and couldn't help but mutter softly, "Besides your family, no one in Xiaoyao Village could possibly know where I am."
Xi Quan's gaze swept over Ye Qing, finally settling on Xu Ying, and he said in a gloomy tone, "Aren't you leaving yet? Are you really going to expose everything you've done at school?"
Xu Ying was ultimately guilty in front of Xi Quan and dared not offend him. Although she was unwilling, she glared at Ye Qing and then slunk away.
"I've chased the person away for you..."
Although she didn't know what Xi Quan meant by those words, Ye Qing interrupted him directly: "But this time, I won't thank you."
Xi Quan was slightly taken aback. In fact, when he said this, he didn't expect Ye Qing to thank him at all. He didn't even think about why he had to say such a thing. Ye Qing's righteous attitude made him realize that he might have said too much.
Others are reborn with incredible power, but Ye Qing was reborn without any cheat codes. So she didn't understand what Xi Quan was thinking. Seeing Xi Quan's slight surprise, she was afraid he didn't understand her meaning, so she took the initiative to explain: "As I just said, apart from your family, no one knows that I study in Nancheng. Xu Ying couldn't possibly know, so it's obvious why she was able to find me."
"I didn't tell her, and it's impossible for me to tell her." After hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan subconsciously offered an explanation.
Ye Qing didn't take over the conversation and continued according to her own train of thought: "Since Xu Ying has come looking for me, she definitely won't let it go since she didn't get the money. Although she's left now, there's no guarantee she won't come looking for me again later, so I won't thank you this time."
After saying that, Ye Qing turned and walked towards the dormitory. After taking two steps, she stopped and stood there in silence for a while. Then she turned back to Xi Quan and said, "I know it wasn't you who said it."
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan looked up and forgot about the past, but Ye Qing had already turned away.
"Ye Qing." Ye Qing heard someone call her from behind as she entered the dormitory building. She turned around and saw Xu Xiaoyue, her roommate. Ye Qing stood there and waited for her.
Xu Xiaoyue rushed over, took Ye Qing's arm, and asked, "Who was that man just now?"
"Who?" Ye Qing looked at her classmate in confusion.
Xu Xiaoyue nudged Ye Qing's arm: "It's the guy who was talking to you just now."
Ye Qing paused for a moment, then said, "Fellow villager."
She didn't want to say more about Xi Quan. In Ye Qing's opinion, the two should not have any contact after leaving Xiaoyao Village, because Ye Qing really, really didn't want to have anything to do with the people of Xiaoyao Village.
It wasn't that Ye Qing had forgotten her roots, but rather that in her memory, Xiaoyao Village was definitely not a pleasant place to be associated with her.
However, Ye Qing's classmate Xu Xiaoyue was unaware of Ye Qing's thoughts. She was simply being gossipy: "Hey, fellow villager, that guy seems to be doing pretty well. I saw he had a pager, but he's just..."
Ye Qing looked at her classmate with a puzzled expression, wondering what she wanted to say. At this time, pagers were considered a luxury, but Xi Quan and Xi Yue were cousins. It was said that the day she went to take Xi Yue's clothes measurements, it was at Xi Yue's grandparents' house, which also meant it was at Xi Quan's grandparents' house.
Given their family circumstances, it's not surprising that Xi Quan had a pager.
When Ye Qing was curious, her classmate commented on Xi Quan: "What's wrong with him?"
"I saw you talking to him just now, and when I passed by him, I glanced at him a few more times. And guess what? He glared at me!"
For some reason, Ye Qing felt a little happy when she heard Xu Xiaoyue say that. She smiled and said, "He has always had a bad temper. In the past, when people from our village who were about his age got into fights with people from neighboring villages and lost, he called a group of people to help them get justice."
After hearing Ye Qing's words, Xu Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "His expression looked like someone owed him tens of thousands of yuan."
Ye Qing smiled faintly and didn't say anything, but in her heart she was thinking about what Xu Xiaoyue had said: Who was Xi Quan's gloom directed at?
Realizing what she was thinking, Ye Qing quickly shook her head to clear her mind of the inappropriate thoughts, glanced at Xu Xiaoyue, and changed the subject, saying, "You skipped class again?"
Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue shared a dorm room, but they were in different departments. Ye Qing studied fashion design, while Xu Xiaoyue studied art.
Xu Xiaoyue smiled and said, "I can't help it, I'm short of money, it's a very urgent job, and the pay is good." After saying that, Xu Xiaoyue distanced herself from Ye Qing, looked her up and down, and said, "You really are wasting your looks and figure. Why don't you come with me to shoot calendars? You'll earn more than you do working in the tailor shop."
Ye Qing smiled and said, "We'll see. I studied design, so I can learn some professional skills at the tailor shop."
Seeing that Ye Qing wasn't very enthusiastic, Xu Xiaoyue didn't say anything more.
Ever since Ye Qing saw Xu Ying at school, she had been thinking about this matter. It wasn't that she was worried about what Xu Ying was doing in Nancheng, because Ye Qing knew that Xu Ying would definitely not let it go. So she had to think of a way to stop Xu Ying from coming to find her.
Although Ye Qing was worried, Xu Ying did not come, which made Ye Qing more and more uneasy, until the tailor shop owner contacted Ye Qing again and asked her to go to the shop when she had time.
Although Sister Zhang told Ye Qing to go when she had time, Ye Qing could tell from her tone on the phone that Sister Zhang's attitude wasn't very good. Ye Qing didn't dare to delay, so she hung up the phone and hurriedly left the dormitory to go to the tailor shop.
