Xi Quan sneered and said, "My mother is even thinking of having me build an artificial blood bank for her son, so she won't do anything to me. Just like before you performed the surgery on Ye Shuwei, Ye Shuwei won't cause you any physical harm. Sure, there are people who don't want us to be together, but the excuse that you're afraid I'm in danger is probably just your excuse."
Xi Quan wasn't wrong to say that, but thinking about Xi Quan's father, Ye Qing felt that Quan Zhen might actually be capable of doing such a thing.
However, Xi Quan's current emotions are difficult to explain.
Ye Qing then fell silent.
When Ye Qing spoke, Xi Quan got angry, but when Ye Qing fell silent, Xi Quan was still unhappy. He couldn't understand what Ye Qing was thinking, so he couldn't help but ask, "Ye Qing, do you like me?"
Ye Qing had thought about this question, but it wasn't the main reason she came to find Xi Quan. So when she first heard Xi Quan's words, Ye Qing subconsciously responded in a self-protective manner, "We used to be boyfriend and girlfriend."
Because of Ye Qing's answer, Xi Quan's expression darkened again: "It was fake at first, but we became a real couple later. It was mostly because I deliberately tried to get information out of you... So do you like me or not?"
Xi Quan asked again, unwilling to give up.
Ye Qing had never had any expectations when it came to matters of the heart. Although she was not indifferent to Xi Quan, in Ye Qing's view, since the two had broken up, it seemed unnecessary to talk about liking or disliking him anymore.
Ye Qing felt that it was enough for her to know about her crying at night; there was no need to tell anyone.
So Ye Qing didn't answer Xi Quan immediately, but was thinking of a more tactful answer that would not make Xi Quan angry but would also prevent him from asking any further questions.
However, this was her opinion. Xi Quan wanted a positive answer, so Ye Qing's silence was seen by Xi Quan as a form of denial.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I understand."
"I……"
Xi Quan was already sitting behind his desk, pen in hand, looking busy. But when Ye Qing seemed about to say something, Xi Quan suddenly put down his pen, looked up at Ye Qing, and said, "Anyway, we've already broken up. You don't need to make things difficult for me. If there's nothing else, I won't see you off."
At this point, Xi Quan shrugged: "As you can see, I have a lot of things to do."
Ye Qing glanced at the pile of documents on Xi Quan's desk, paused for a moment, and quietly left.
As soon as Ye Qing left, Xi Quan slammed his pen on the table and angrily clenched his teeth.
Even though I didn't want to break up, how did I end up accepting the fact that we were breaking up?
However, after calming down, Xi Quan realized how Ye Qing knew about Quan Zhen and Su Mei, as well as his younger brother.
It should be Xi Yue.
There is no one else but them, and even they might not know this clearly.
Although she had approached Xi Quan, Ye Qing felt that the trip hadn't convinced him. She was still worried about what would happen if Xi Quan actually said something on TV.
But then I thought about it again, and just like Xi Quan said, he's not that stupid, he probably wouldn't say everything on TV.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Qing seemed to feel much more at ease.
More importantly, Ye Qing didn't have time to think too much, because the knitting factory called her and said that there was a slight problem with the shirt, but it wasn't a big problem. They asked if she wanted it remade or just slightly modified.
Logically speaking, there's no need to call Ye Qing about this. After all, the people at the knitting factory have made so many clothes that they can definitely tell whether they're defective or substandard.
But now that Ye Qing had called, no matter the reason, Ye Qing felt he had to go and see him.
So Xu Xiaoyue stayed here to watch the shop again, while Ye Qing went to the knitting factory.
Upon arriving, before even reaching the workshop, they unexpectedly encountered Liu Wei again at the knitting factory.
Since the director had already explained that Liu Wei and her parents would be coming last time, Ye Qing wasn't as surprised as she was when she saw Liu Wei here last time.
However, as the two walked north, Ye Qing paused for a moment because she seemed to smell alcohol on Liu Wei.
It's not surprising that it has a smell, but the smell of baijiu... Ye Qing frowned subconsciously. Although she doesn't drink much, she can count the number of times she's drunk on one hand.
However, back in Xiaoyao Village, Ye Qing's uncle was a drinker, and Ye Qing could tell whether someone had been drinking or had simply spilled alcohol on them and smelled of it.
Liu Wei clearly belonged to the type who accidentally got some liquor on her clothes.
Even during the daytime, not many workshops in the knitting factory are open, and those that are open are all profitable. With the New Year just around the corner, who wouldn't want to make more money? Nobody should have the leisure to drink in the workshop.
Moreover, knitting factories are strictly fire-prevention areas. If someone smokes there, and a spark from a cigarette butt touches the alcohol, then...that would be a huge problem.
Ye Qing shook his head, wondering if he was worrying too much and overthinking things.
She put away the jumbled thoughts in her mind, but just as she put away those unfounded worries, she saw smoke coming from the back door of the workshop where her orders were processed.
Ye Qing stopped abruptly, instinctively turning her head to look in the direction Liu Wei had left. Then, Ye Qing suddenly took a step forward and ran towards the workshop like a madwoman.
If she remembered correctly, all the fabrics for her order were piled up at the back door of the workshop.
If things really turn out the way I think, the losses could be enormous.
Just as Ye Qing was running towards the workshop, the area near the back door of the workshop was no longer just emitting smoke; flames could be vaguely seen, and the chaotic and panicked sounds from inside the workshop could be heard.
So Ye Qing ran even faster and rushed straight in.
Xu Xiaoyue was helping Ye Qing mind the shop, but a customer came in just now and said that the clothes she had been wearing were a little too big for her, and asked if Ye Qing could help her slim down her waist.
Since Ye Qing wasn't there, the customer left the clothes there, saying he was going shopping and would pick them up when he returned.
Xu Xiaoyue then called the knitting factory workshop, telling Ye Qing to come back as soon as possible if she was free.
At first, no one answered the phone in the workshop, and Xu Xiaoyue didn't think much of it. However, since the customer was coming to pick up the clothes later, Xu Xiaoyue called Ye Qing again. This time, someone answered and she learned that the workshop was on fire.
Xu Xiaoyue panicked when she learned that Ye Qing was also in the workshop.
Ignoring Ye Qing's instructions to watch the shop, she left immediately. Just as she stepped out of the shop, she bumped into Xi Quan, who was hesitating in front of the door. Xu Xiaoyue said, "Quickly go and save Ye Qing! The workshop is on fire, and Ye Qing is inside."
