When Ye Qing heard Liang Youjie say that, she instinctively thought he was talking about Xi Quan's mother, so she said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful of Xi Quan's mother. But I think that now that I've broken up with Xi Quan, she'll probably cause me trouble again."
“I’m talking about Xiaoyao Village, your uncle and aunt.”
Ye Qing was stunned again by Liang Youjie's words. Although she hadn't forgotten that she had an uncle and aunt, she had subconsciously ignored them because they had been imprisoned back then.
“I heard from my colleagues at the institute a while ago that your uncle and aunt seem to have been released, as well as the mother of that mentally challenged man, whose name is Liang something, they were all released together.”
"They're out?" Ye Qing was still in shock, repeating Liang Youjie's words to himself.
Liang Youjie didn't know what Ye Qing was thinking. Seeing Ye Qing's surprised look, Liang Youjie explained, "Although you were under the legal marriage age when they forced you to marry Liang Ziqiang, it didn't cause you any real harm, so the main approach was criticism and education. It's been almost half a year, so it's about time..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing subconsciously raised her hand and touched the scar hidden by her bangs. It was a scar left from when she hit her head against a wall.
However, even so, Ye Qing knew that Liang Youjie was not wrong.
Moreover, Liang Youjie had told her, otherwise she wouldn't have known. Ye Qing said gratefully, "Thank you, I understand."
Liang Youjie waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal and there was no need to be so polite.
Although it was not a big deal in Liang Youjie's eyes, it was not a small matter for Ye Qing.
Others might not understand their uncle and aunt, but Ye Qing knew them very well.
Now that they're out, they probably don't know about their cousin Xu Ying's situation. Being locked up in a mental hospital, any normal person would want to get out.
There's nothing to doubt about that; Xu Ying is probably no exception.
Having not visited Xu Ying for so long, Ye Qing felt she had to go and see if she was still alive, otherwise she wouldn't feel at ease.
If Xu Ying had already secretly run away, Ye Qing dared not be careless at all.
Ye Qing had previously bought a bicycle. Although the bicycle ride was a bit far, it was still better than taking the bus, since there was no direct bus to that place.
Ye Qing gave Xu Xiaoyue a few instructions and then rode his bicycle to Anding Hospital.
Just as Ye Qing arrived at the entrance of Anding Hospital and was about to register to go inside, she saw a car drive out of it.
The familiar license plate startled Ye Qing slightly. Clearly, the person in that car had also seen Ye Qing. After exiting the gate of Anding Hospital, they stopped by the roadside, got out of the car, and called out to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing blinked as she watched Xi Quan walk towards her, then turned around, preparing to walk into the Anding Hospital. However, Xi Quan rushed over and grabbed the back seat of Ye Qing's bicycle.
Ye Qing had no choice but to stop.
Ye Qing turned around helplessly and looked at the seat handle behind him, which was bent over and lunging forward to grab him. He was speechless.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing pushed the bike to the side of the road and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You've come to see Xu Ying?" Xi Quan asked.
Ye Qing nodded; this was quite obvious.
“She’s gone. She ran away on her own,” Xi Quan said. “I just went there, so you don’t need to go.”
"She ran away secretly?" Although Ye Qing had considered this possibility before coming, she was still instinctively surprised to hear Xi Quan say this: "She really ran away on her own? Or did her parents pick her up?"
"Her parents probably don't even know she's in Nancheng, so how did they find her here and take her away?" After saying that, Xi Quan gestured for Ye Qing to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned around abruptly: "How did you know her parents came out?"
Ye Qing said, "I heard it from Liang Youjie. Liang Youjie said he heard it from his former colleagues at the police station."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Quan's expression changed: "You met with Liang Youjie again? Ye Qing, why don't you ever learn your lesson?"
Ye Qing felt very uncomfortable upon hearing this: "Do I need to ask your opinion about who I meet? I won't say anything about the past, but what about now? Haven't we already broken up? And I remember that when we met before, you treated me like a stranger, so I treated you like a stranger just now too. But I don't understand your attitude now."
Xi Quan was a little embarrassed by Ye Qing's words: "Isn't that in front of the Huamao Hotel? There are too many people around, what if... who would come here now?"
He was afraid that getting too close to Ye Qing would cause her trouble, but seeing Ye Qing, Xi Quan couldn't help but talk to her.
Thinking that the fire might be related to Quan Zhen, Ye Qing could understand Xi Quan's attitude. However, in Ye Qing's opinion, because of Quan Zhen's attitude, breaking up should have become a consensus between the two of them.
Since it was a consensus, it should look like a breakup. So even though Xi Quan explained, Ye Qing still felt it wasn't right. She said, "Since we've broken up, then we should do what an ex-boyfriend should do."
After saying that, thinking about where they were, Ye Qing couldn't help but add, "Although I don't know how often you come to see Xu Ying, as your ex-girlfriend, I still think it's best for us to keep our distance, just like when we met at the entrance of the Huamao Hotel. Let's treat each other as strangers."
Since Xu Ying was no longer there, Ye Qing had no reason to go and see her, so he pushed his bicycle around and left.
But Xi Quan pulled her back seat again and said, "Are you jealous?"
Ye Qing was dumbfounded: "What did I say that made you think I was jealous?"
“You’re not jealous? You’re telling me I was so sour when I came to see Xu Ying.” Xi Quan said with a hint of smugness, “This is the first time I’ve come to see her since we came together last time. The reason I came to see her is because I heard about her parents.”
Ye Qing blinked, not paying much attention to Xi Quan explaining why he came back, but still wondering if she was jealous.
They've already broken up, so it's really not good to give Xi Quan that feeling again.
After thinking it over for a moment, Ye Qing also felt that his mention of his ex-wife earlier might have caused some misunderstanding.
Especially seeing Xi Quan's smug look, Ye Qing felt she had to nip his smugness in the bud: "You're overthinking it. I didn't mean that. I just feel that my shop is located outside Huamao, and we're bound to run into each other all the time. If you keep acting like this, it will affect my ability to find a boyfriend in the future."
These words certainly dashed Xi Quan's hopes, but they also provoked him: "Ye Qing!"
Because Ye Qing wasn't indifferent to Xi Quan, she was afraid of softening her heart, so she thought she should cut to the chase: "What's wrong? Isn't it right? Besides, you not only pretended not to know me at the entrance of the Huamao Hotel, but you also dubbed your promises on TV. Isn't that because the fire was related to your mother? In that case, for my own safety, shouldn't we keep our distance?"
