"You..." Ye Shuang was angered by Ye Qing's words and raised her hand without thinking.
But how could Ye Qing just let herself be beaten like that? She grabbed Ye Shuang's wrist and said, "I advise you to think it over before you hit me."
"Do I need to pick a time to hit you?!" Ye Shuang roared angrily.
Shaking off Ye Shuang, Ye Qing clapped his hands. "Well said. It's true that there's no need to pick a time. But if you can bear the consequences of hitting me, then I don't mind fighting you!"
Ye Shuang's hand was about to touch Ye Qing when she heard this, and her hand slowly stopped: "What are you trying to scare me about now?!"
"Scare you? How did I scare you? Let me remind you of another fact." Seeing that Ye Shuang was no longer so impulsive, Ye Qing slowly said, "The building you're living in now belongs to Ye Shuwei's father, right? Although you call him 'Grandpa,' the old man is still alive. He's just having some speech problems because he hasn't received timely treatment for an illness, but his mind is clear. If he doesn't want to give you the house, you'll have to pack your bags and leave!"
These words made Ye Shuang slowly lower her raised hand, but she was unwilling to lower it halfway and wanted to slowly raise it again. Ye Qing saw this and chuckled; "Go ahead and hit me. If you slap me, I guarantee I will personally kick you out and watch you pack your bags and leave. You should know now that if I say it, I can definitely do it."
Ye Qing glanced sideways at Ye Shuang, who was clearly nervous but whose eyes were filled with resentment, and added, "Remember, the fact that you can still live in that house is thanks to my kindness. Don't let my kindness go to waste."
After speaking, Ye Qing gestured for Ye Shuang to leave.
Ye Shuang had originally come to settle scores with Ye Qing in a fit of rage, but not only did she fail to settle the score, she became even angrier. There was nothing Ye Shuang could do, so she could only grit her teeth and accept it.
Just swallowing a mouthful of broken teeth would definitely cause blood to seep from his throat, and Ye Shuang felt that he had to spit out that blood, even if it was just to disgust Ye Qing.
So after Ye Shuang turned around, she turned back again, looking at Ye Qing with a half-smile: "Don't be too smug. Let's see who has the last laugh."
Ye Qing replied dismissively, "Let's encourage each other."
"Heh, you're going abroad, huh? For how long? A year or two?" Ye Shuang didn't seem to care about Ye Qing's attitude at this moment. She asked with a smile, "I'll pass on what you just said to me: Haven't you thought about the consequences when you come back?"
"What do you want to say?" Although Ye Qing knew that Ye Shuang was just unwilling to accept this and wanted to disgust him, Ye Qing thought he should listen to it. In the end, it was really uncertain who would disgust whom!
"Xi Quan's mother doesn't like you. Xi Quan might even be married by the time you come back. You know, Huamao Hotel is one of the top businesses in Nancheng now, and he's also the owner of a real estate company. He's a diamond bachelor that's hard to find even with a lantern," Ye Shuang said with a schadenfreude attitude.
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow: "Thank you so much for thinking of me, but I'm different from you. I won't depend on anyone. I can earn money to support myself. As for Xi Quan, I really don't care. You can't inherit Ye Shuwei's property now. What you just said might be a shortcut for you. Quan really likes you. Maybe you can become her daughter-in-law? But you were Liang Lu's girlfriend before, right? Even if Xi Quan isn't picky, he won't do anything with you. So you really don't need to worry about me. At least you have no chance with Xi Quan."
After saying that, Ye Qing pushed Ye Shuang and shoved her out, then closed the door.
Although he felt unlucky and was somewhat disgusted by Ye Shuang's words, Ye Qing felt that he hadn't suffered any loss, which was good.
However, although he didn't suffer any loss, Ye Shuang's words weren't entirely ineffective, and Ye Qing did take some of them to heart.
Ye Qing had never considered the possibility of Xi Quan getting married again. It wasn't that Ye Qing thought Xi Quan would remain single for life, but rather that Ye Qing herself hadn't considered marriage at all, so she hadn't thought about it in the context of Xi Quan.
Adding to his previous marriage, to Xu Ying, the final outcome... regardless of the purpose of the marriage, he was hurt, so starting another marriage right away seems impossible.
But Ye Shuang's words have made Ye Qing start to seriously consider this issue.
Even knowing that Ye Shuang was just trying to annoy him out of spite, Ye Qing knew that what she said was possible. If he went out now, he would at least have to finish his undergraduate studies.
Although it's different from universities in China, an undergraduate degree doesn't take four years; it's at least two years...
Two years... Ye Qing didn't dare to think about it anymore.
I haven't even been out of Xiaoyao Village for a year, but... I've already fallen for Xi Quan. If it were two years... there would be too many variables.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. However, Ye Qing had already completed all the procedures for going abroad, and now she was not going... It wasn't that she couldn't do it, but giving up her future for a relationship was clearly not in Ye Qing's character. Relationships were not the center of her life before, and they are not now either.
But without realizing it, her feelings made it difficult for her to make a decision.
The more Ye Qing thought about it, the more confused she became, and her heart ached terribly. So she simply stopped thinking about anything, picked up her pen, and started drawing new clothes.
For two days in a row, Ye Qing kept painting without stopping except for meals. Although Xu Xiaoyue felt that Ye Qing was acting a bit strangely, she thought that Ye Qing was about to leave and that in order to keep Qingye's shop running, she should make more clothes inventory, so she could understand and didn't ask Ye Qing any more questions.
The day before leaving the country, Ye Shuwei's funeral arrangements were finally completed. Ye Qing went to the crematorium, selected the ashes, and chose a place for burial.
Crematoriums are usually quite far from the city center. The police officer who came with Ye Qing to complete the paperwork said he would take Ye Qing back to the suburbs.
However, they were prison guards who went directly back to their workplace, which was far from the city center and not on Ye Qing's route. Ye Qing didn't want them to take her there again, so she politely declined.
Standing at the entrance of the crematorium now, Ye Qing realized how difficult it was to wait for a ride; he had taken a taxi from the city center to get here.
Going back now is just a matter of luck, to see if we can catch a taxi that brings people here.
Just as Ye Qing was thinking about walking forward while waiting for a car, a car suddenly drove up and stopped in front of her.
The place was very remote, and the sudden appearance of a car was a bit alarming. However, after seeing the license plate, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the front of the car, leaned out and saw Xi Quan sitting in the driver's seat with an icy expression. After a moment of silence, Ye Qing opened the car door and got in.
Ye Qing was startled when she heard Xi Quan's first words, before she had even sat down and fastened her seatbelt.
