Although Ye Qing smiled very politely at Quan Zhen, what she said must have sounded extremely harsh to Quan Zhen: "Thank you for the compliment, Aunt Quan. I have no parents and am no different from an orphan. I have to be strong, that's all I am. Yet, people always remind me that everything is difficult."
"Heh." Quan Zhen glanced at Ye Qing and sneered disdainfully, "Why are you thanking me? I didn't do anything."
"No, Aunt Quan, you've done a lot! You've been trying to give me experience and challenges." Ye Qing's smile seemed to grow even brighter.
Not only Quan Zhen didn't understand what Ye Qing meant, but Xi Quan and Xi Yue next to him also didn't understand what Ye Qing meant, and they all looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing kindly explained, "Aunt Quan, didn't you tell my cousin Xu Ying where I was? Otherwise, how could she have found me? I remember saying that to you in front of the clothing store before. What? Auntie, have you forgotten?"
In fact, Xi Quan knew that Xu Ying had found Quan Zhen because his mother had told him to, but he didn't expect Ye Qing to say it directly in front of his mother.
Quan Zhen wanted to deny it, but she had indeed admitted it before. Now, she was so angry at Ye Qing's words that she couldn't even maintain her so-called elegance: "Ye Qing, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Am I lying? That day, I went to get Xi Yue's measurements for her new clothes as Sister Zhang instructed. Auntie specifically asked me where I was." Ye Qing said, "I'm just guessing, since Auntie doesn't like me, why would she want to know what I'm doing in Nancheng? I think Auntie probably thinks it's too hard for me to live alone and wants me to gain more experience. I can't think of any other way."
He was speaking sarcastically, so it was difficult for Quan Zhen to admit it or not.
It has to be said that Ye Qing's move was really clever. Although his cousin Xu Ying was instigated by Quan Zhen to come to Ye Qing, and Quan Zhen admitted it, Quan Zhen's admission seemed more like he said it on purpose because he was angry.
Ye Qing was unwilling to be disgusted like this. She waved her fists wildly, determined to vent her anger. She wanted to break down and explain everything she hadn't finished saying to Quan Zhen at the clothing store entrance.
Her haphazard actions surprised Quan Zhen, who was somewhat taken aback.
Ye Qing stared directly at Quan Zhen with indignation, showing no stage fright whatsoever.
Quan Zhen was angered by Ye Qing's attitude. She straightened her back, looked at Ye Qing arrogantly, and said with a condescending attitude: "Yes, it's me, so what? You said it yourself, your parents are gone, and no one will educate you. I at least know your parents, so I will teach you what human relationships are like in your place."
Xi Quan already had a bad relationship with his mother, Quan Zhen. Hearing what Quan Zhen said, he angrily tried to pull Quan Zhen away.
Seeing Xi Quan's actions, Ye Qing knew that he probably didn't want Quan Zhen to say anything too harsh. However, since Ye Qing had already spoken up, she didn't intend to soften the blow. Just as Quan Zhen was about to follow Xi Quan's lead and leave, Ye Qing said, "I am willing to listen to Aunt Quan's teachings."
These words were spoken in a refined manner, but they were also infuriating. Quan Zhen came from a good family and had always been an arrogant person. Now, being spoken to like this by a junior, especially one she disliked, was something she couldn't swallow. She sneered, shook off her son Xi Quan's arm, and looked down at Ye Qing again: "Since you insist on knowing, I don't mind saying a few more words to you."
Ye Qing smiled, indicating that Quan Zhen should speak.
"Although you and Xi Quan both grew up in Xiaoyao Village, people are still different. I'm happy for you that you can come to Nancheng to study, but Xi Quan is not someone you can aspire to. It may have been an accident that you and Xi Quan met in Nancheng at first, but you should know your place. Because of your relationship with Xu Ying, you shouldn't get involved with the people around Xi Quan anymore. For example, helping Xi Yue make clothes was indeed requested by the clothing store owner, but you could have refused. If you couldn't refuse, you could have resigned..."
Upon hearing this, Xi Yue glared angrily at Quan Zhen, while Xi Quan was like a lion about to explode at any moment.
But Ye Qing didn't seem angry at all. After listening to Quan Zhen's words, she smiled and nodded, saying, "I don't want to have any more contact with the people of Xiaoyao Village than anyone else, but I need to make a living. I'm perfectly honest about it. Why would I quit my job at the tailor shop? As for what you're worried about, Aunt Quan, don't worry, it won't happen. I think my attitude is very clear."
Quan Zhen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing explained, "Aunt Quan doesn't understand, so let me explain. You must be very angry about my attitude towards you today. What does that mean? It means I offended you. If I wanted to do something with Xi Quan, even if you and Xi Quan don't have a good relationship, you wouldn't normally offend your future mother-in-law, right? For example, my cousin Xu Ying, you are her ex-mother-in-law, and she still listens to you. She even brought Liang Ziqiang from Xiaoyao Village to annoy me."
"You..." Quan Zhen never expected that Ye Qing would have such a plan. Logically, she should be happy, but she was extremely angry.
Because, according to Ye Qing, everything she had done seemed superfluous, and she didn't care about it at all.
Both the Xi and Quan families have good family backgrounds. Quan Zhen has been back in the city for decades, and he has never been treated with such contempt before.
Seeing Quan Zhen speechless with anger, Ye Qing felt extremely relieved. Originally, she hadn't even thought about what would happen between them, but Quan Zhen acted as if she wanted to kill her as soon as possible.
