"Ye Qing, stop slandering people!" Ye Shuang stood up abruptly, pointing at Ye Qing from above.
While coffee shops in the 1990s weren't exactly luxurious, they weren't exactly mainstream either, so they weren't usually crowded.
But even if there aren't many people, there are still some.
Ye Shuang's voice sounded particularly abrupt and jarring in the café filled with soft music. Feeling that the few people in the café were all looking at her, Ye Shuang awkwardly sat down again.
Ye Qing remained calm and composed. He had only heard rumors about Ye Shuwei in the school cafeteria, and he hadn't expected Ye Shuwei's father.
While waiting for Ye Shuang to arrive after calling her, Ye Qing slowly realized something. Ye Shuwei's father wasn't very close to Ye Shuang's family. If Ye Shuwei was really going to die soon because of his illness, then Ye Shuwei's father would be the biggest obstacle for Ye Shuang's family to inherit Ye Shuwei's money.
According to the order of inheritance, Ye Shuwei is unmarried, so his parents are the first in line to inherit. Ye Qing has to step aside, so it's impossible for Ye Shuang to inherit. The premise for Ye Shuang to scheme against him is that Ye Shuwei's father will give the money to Ye Shuang's family.
Although Ye Qing didn't know much about her so-called grandfather, she could tell from that brief encounter that he was no pushover. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too, and Ye Shuwei must have inherited that trait.
Ye Qing couldn't believe Ye Shuang didn't know something that even he could see.
Ye Shuang must know, and the fact that she went all out against her despite knowing this shows that Ye Shuwei's father is no longer an obstacle.
Before this, these were all Ye Qing's guesses.
Seeing Ye Shuang's excited and flustered state, Ye Qing knew that he had guessed correctly again.
Ye Qing slowly stirred her coffee with a spoon, then suddenly put it down with a clatter, looking at Ye Shuang with a half-smile: "Whether I'm slandering you or not, you know in your heart. You're not a good person, and I won't let anyone bully me. You should know that. Now that you've provoked me time and time again, why should I tolerate it?"
"You said you didn't care about Ye Shuwei's money."
"I don't care about it, but having too much money isn't necessarily a bad thing. At worst, I'll donate it all to Project Hope. It's better than letting the people who have been scheming against me take the money and cause me trouble!" Ye Qing said.
After saying that, Ye Qing took a sip of his coffee, then put the cup down and placed the money under the cup: "It's a deal, it's on me."
Seeing Ye Shuang's ashen face, Ye Qing felt a little relief. Ye Qing thought that he had to resolve Ye Shuang's matter before leaving the country, otherwise it would be really frustrating if Ye Shuang continued to cause trouble for him after he returned.
So now we might as well solve them all at once.
However, Ye Qing had only taken two steps after turning around when he saw a familiar person sitting behind the seat he had just been sitting in. He paused for a moment, then looked at the spot where he had just been sitting. Ye Qing was completely stunned. He must have heard what he said.
Ye Shuang was furious after being thoroughly humiliated by Ye Qing. Since Ye Qing had her back to her after standing up, Ye Shuang didn't see Ye Qing's expression. Although she saw Ye Qing stop there and not continue walking, she didn't think much of it. Ye Shuang also stood up and deliberately bumped into Ye Qing with her shoulder as she passed by, before walking away arrogantly.
Still reeling from the surprise of running into Xi Quan here, Ye Qing didn't notice Ye Shuang's actions and stumbled from the bump. Ye Qing lost her balance and looked like she was about to fall. Xi Quan, who had been sitting there nonchalantly as if he didn't know Ye Qing, quickly caught her.
Realizing what had happened, Ye Qing steadied herself against the back of the sofa, otherwise she would have ended up sitting on Xi Quan's lap, which would have been even more embarrassing.
After standing still, Ye Qing hesitated for a moment before sitting down opposite Xi Quan and asked, "Why did you come here?"
Xi Quan didn't want to say that he came to see Ye Qing. He was originally in his car, but after seeing Ye Qing enter the coffee shop, Ye Shuang also arrived. Xi Quan was worried and followed her in. Because Ye Qing had her back to her earlier, she hadn't seen her. Ye Shuang was feeling guilty and worried about what Ye Qing had said, so she didn't pay attention.
However, Xi Quan wouldn't tell Ye Qing any of this; he simply said casually, "It was a coincidence."
Thinking back to Xi Quan's attitude when they met outside Xi Quan's grandparents' house last time, Ye Qing didn't think that Xi Quan had come to find her on purpose, so she didn't think much about Xi Quan's answer.
What Ye Qing cared about was whether Xi Quan had heard what she and Ye Shuang had said.
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Qing still couldn't figure out how to start the conversation. He clasped his hands together on the table, looking very nervous and awkward.
Xi Quan saw what Ye Qing was thinking and asked directly, "I heard what you and Ye Shuang said, but so what if you heard it? Why do you look so nervous?"
"I..." Ye Qing didn't know how to explain. She couldn't very well tell Xi Quan that she was feeling a bit anxious and insecure after breaking up for a while.
She hesitated to speak, but Xi Quan seemed unconcerned, only lacking the gentleness he usually showed when facing Ye Qing: "Haven't you always been like this? Actually, you're quite enviable; at least you don't let yourself suffer."
The words sounded like a compliment, but because Xi Quan looked so serious, Ye Qing lost the sharpness she usually displayed when facing others and couldn't quite tell whether Xi Quan's words were a compliment or an insult, so she just smiled awkwardly.
Xi Quan probably knew that his words might be misinterpreted, so when he saw Ye Qing's embarrassed look, he said, "I'm telling the truth. Look at us, we broke up, and you weren't affected at all. If Xi Yue could be like you, she wouldn't have any emotional problems."
It sounds like a compliment, but Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan was blaming himself; he was still resentful about the breakup.
But since they've already broken up, there's no point in saying anything now. Silence would only make things more awkward. Ye Qing asked, "Xi Yue, she..."
“She was already on probation. After she vandalized your shop, the police ordered her to be sent to a specialized hospital for treatment. But my grandparents were reluctant to do so. They somehow found out that Ye Shuwei’s condition had worsened and that she might die at any moment. Their emotions were getting worse and worse. My grandparents had no choice but to send her to the specialized hospital as the police ordered. Last night, they were up all night.”
Xi Quan's voice sounded calm, but Ye Qing felt heartbroken looking at his haggard appearance and the dark circles under his eyes.
I don't know how to comfort him.
Xi Quan added, "After Ye Shuwei was sentenced, Ye Shuwei's father's blood pressure remained very high. Later, it was said that Ye Shuang mentioned Liu Wei's arson to him, saying that it was also related to Ye Shuwei. She said she would tell the police. After Ye Shuwei's father said that Ye Shuwei's health had deteriorated, Ye Shuwei's father became so angry that he suffered a heart attack and is now in the hospital. It will be over in the next few days."
These words confirmed Ye Qing's earlier suspicions to Ye Shuang. Ye Qing asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
