Ye Qing stared at Liu Wei's parents, speechless. After a moment, she said incredulously, "Uncle, Aunt, although I don't know why the police suspect Liu Wei, you've asked me to talk to the police? This... I'm a student just like Liu Wei. How can I have such influence?"
Liu Wei's parents were somewhat desperate and grasping at straws, after all, Liu Wei was their only child.
Ye Qing was moved by their love for Liu Wei as parents, but she would not be soft-hearted towards those who had framed her.
“We know we’ve been looking for you like this… but didn’t we hear that the workshop at the knitting factory was fulfilling your order? You won’t suffer much loss, and you’re friends with Liu Wei, so what do you think…”
The fact that Liu Wei's parents spoke so haltingly proves that they also know that their demands are actually quite unreasonable.
But it was because she really didn't know what to do that she came to Ye Qing.
But Ye Qing wouldn't soften her heart: "Auntie, if the fire hadn't been put out, I might have been burned to death."
So don't say I really can't do anything. Even if I could, I wouldn't do anything. After all, Liu Wei's actions were aimed at killing me. And even if there hadn't been this arson, if you don't know what Liu Wei did to me before, you can ask Liu Wei. So it's already good enough that I don't repay evil with kindness.
"Are you suggesting that I forgive and forget, or even speak up for Liu Wei? Don't you think that's asking too much?"
Seeing Ye Qing's attitude, Liu Wei's father couldn't help but say, "Ye Qing, you also have parents. I hope you can understand how we parents feel. If one day you encounter something bad, I believe your parents would feel the same way as us..."
"I'm sorry, my mother passed away a long time ago, and I've never met my biological father since I was a child, so I may not have the empathy you mentioned, Uncle. Besides, I think you should be saying these things to people who are parents like you, not to me."
Liu Wei's parents were a little embarrassed by Ye Qing's words. Although they knew that it was very likely that seeking help from Ye Qing would be useless, they simply couldn't bear to watch Liu Wei be ruined.
The two exchanged an awkward glance, then Liu Wei's mother spoke again: "Ye Qing, you and Liu Wei are classmates, and the same age. From now on, you can treat me as your mother, I..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing instinctively wanted to retort, but before she could speak, someone else said, "Ye Qing has a mother. Although she's gone, there's no reason for her to treat a stranger as her mother."
Looking towards the doorway following the sound, Ye Qing was surprised to see Ye Shuwei. Realizing that those words had come from Ye Shuwei's mouth, Ye Qing swallowed back the words of praise that had just risen in her heart, gave him a brief glance, and then looked away.
Liu Wei's parents did not recognize Ye Shuwei. When they saw Ye Shuwei, they looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Shuwei took the initiative to explain: "I am Ye Qing's father. I heard you mention Liu Wei when I came in, so you must be Liu Wei's parents?"
Upon hearing Ye Shuwei's introduction, Liu Wei's parents quickly reached out to shake hands with her, even though Ye Shuwei's words contradicted Ye Qing's earlier statement.
However, seeing that Ye Qing did not refute Ye Shuwei, Liu Wei's parents also realized something and knew that there must be a conflict between them.
However, this is not important to Liu Wei's parents.
So after exchanging pleasantries with Ye Shuwei, Liu Wei's parents told Ye Shuwei again about their purpose in coming to see Ye Qing. Then, thinking that Ye Shuwei was also a father, they thought he would be able to empathize with them, so they talked about how they, as parents, were.
Ye Shuwei interrupted them before they finished listening: "You parents are protecting your daughters, and I am protecting mine. You can go back and ask your daughters what they did to my daughter."
After saying that, Ye Shuwei opened the shop door and told Liu Wei's parents to leave, blatantly kicking them out.
Liu Wei's parents could act superior in front of Ye Qing, but they really couldn't say much in front of Ye Shuwei, and in the end they left awkwardly and dejectedly.
"Ye Qing..."
After Liu Wei's parents left, Ye Qing heard Ye Shuwei's call and smiled while clapping, saying, "You were acting as both a father and a daughter just now, I was almost moved!"
Ye Shuwei sensed the sarcasm in Ye Qing's words, awkwardly rubbed her hands together, and then said, "Ye Qing, I know you have a prejudice against me, but you have to believe that I love you."
"Love me?" Ye Qing sneered. "So as soon as you returned to the country, you came to me hoping I would have surgery and donate a kidney to you to repay your so-called fatherly love?"
"Only when I'm healthy can I better protect you in the future."
This is utterly unreasonable. Ye Qing laughed in anger: "You haven't appeared for more than ten or even twenty years, and I've still managed, haven't I? I just got out of that suffocating place, Xiaoyao Village, and I thought everything would be fine from now on. Who knew that you, my biological father, would show up?"
I haven't even had time to be happy yet, and I'm about to lose a kidney. Don't you find that ironic?
Do you think I'm a bit cold-blooded and unfilial? You need to know that everything is equal.
If you want me to be filial to you, you should show me some real care and demonstrate your fatherly love, instead of constantly threatening me.
“I know my previous actions made you feel uncared for, but I did help you with Liu Wei’s matter.”
Hearing Ye Shuwei's anxious voice, Ye Qing clenched her fists, but afraid that Ye Shuwei would see her nervousness, she placed her hands behind her back on the table and secretly touched the tape recorder there. Then, as if she had burned her hand, she quickly withdrew it.
"Helped me with Liu Wei's matter? Helped me in what way? Did you just kick Liu Wei's parents out?" Ye Qing asked, composing himself.
"Didn't you always dislike Liu Wei? Now that she's like this, she's pretty much ruined."
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Although the police haven't found evidence that Liu Wei set the fire yet, she did it, so she can't escape it. Her parents came to see you, right? Just keep them in check for now. When the time is right, use the evidence of Liu Wei's arson to negotiate with them. They have a small clothing factory, right? If they want to save Liu Wei, make them give you that factory."
Ye Shuwei spoke with great pride, as if she had done something extraordinary for Ye Qing and was waiting for Ye Qing to be moved.
However, Ye Qing felt her hands and feet turn ice-cold, unable to believe that this person was her biological father. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "So you have evidence that Liu Wei set the fire?"
"Of course, I not only have evidence that she set the fire, but also evidence that Quan Zhen instigated her to set the fire!" Ye Shuwei became more and more smug as she spoke: "Quan Zhen still thinks she can pin everything on me, how naive! How could I let them catch me with anything?!"
