This wasn't the first time Xi Quan had done something like this to Ye Qing; he never seemed to gain any advantage each time, yet he never seemed to learn his lesson.
Hearing Ye Qing's words and realizing that Ye Qing might have gone to find Liang Youjie, Xi Quan panicked.
He had been scheming for so long, not just to push Ye Qing away. Xi Quan angrily called out to Ye Qing, "Stop."
Ye Qing didn't really want to leave. As mentioned earlier, Ye Qing doesn't lack the house that was slated for demolition compensation. It's just that she had just returned and gotten off the plane when the unexpected happened, catching her off guard.
She could have stayed at the hotel without asking Xi Quan to come, but after hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words and considering Liu Yuliang's situation, Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan was doing it on purpose.
Since Xi Quan did it on purpose, if she didn't take the bait and was put in a difficult position by him, going to the hotel to avoid him wouldn't be in Ye Qing's character.
To use a popular phrase, she doesn't cause trouble, but she's not afraid of trouble either.
She couldn't always passively follow Xi Quan's rhythm; she had to let Xi Quan follow his own pace.
In retrospect, Ye Qing did the right thing.
Slowly turning her head, Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan with feigned incomprehension, as if asking, "Is there anything else?"
Seeing Ye Qing turn around, Xi Quan breathed a sigh of relief, took out the key from the drawer, and threw it on the table: "Building 3, Unit 501, Xingfuyuan".
Ye Qing walked over, took the keys, and was about to leave. Anyway, she had achieved her goal. As for the divorce, she could talk about it later. She had already given the divorce agreement to Xi Quan, but she hadn't received any feedback from him. Ye Qing knew it wouldn't be that easy.
As they were about to enter Xi Quan's office, Ye Qing heard Xi Quan say, "I heard you have two children? Xingfuyuan is a resettlement housing project, and you received a lot of money back then. The apartment is a small one, only two bedrooms and a living room. Is it big enough for you to live in?"
When Xu Xiaoyue told Ye Qing that Liang Youjie had been photographed taking the child out to eat and had even run into Xi Yue, Ye Qing was already mentally prepared, knowing that Xi Quan would find out about the child sooner or later.
Because she knew Xi Quan would find out, Ye Qing sent the divorce agreement to Xi Quan early on, hoping to get a divorce before Xi Quan knew about the child.
But hearing Xi Quan say that now, Ye Qing still felt nervous instinctively, and suddenly turned to look at Xi Quan, trying to figure out what he meant.
"Surprised?" Xi Quan looked at Ye Qing's expression and knew that he had the upper hand. He lost his anger and became much calmer.
Ye Qing kept staring at Xi Quan without saying a word.
Xi Quan smiled and said, "I received your divorce agreement, but I am very dissatisfied with its contents. Looking at your divorce agreement, I feel like an idiot."
"What do you mean?" Ye Qing frowned. "I don't want a single penny of your money."
"Heh." Xi Quan sneered, "If you want money, I might sign right away."
Seeing that Ye Qing still looked puzzled, Xi Quan didn't intend to say more, only saying, "I don't understand. Come talk to me about divorce when you've figured it out."
After that, Xi Quan sat down and pretended to be busy with work again, no longer looking at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing stared at Xi Quan for a while, then turned and left his office. Looking at the flashing numbers on the elevator, Ye Qing was very anxious. She had guessed a possibility and now urgently needed to verify it.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Xu Xiaoyue, who had been waiting for him in the car, rushing over and saying, "Ye Qing, you're finally down."
Xu Xiaoyue's anxious look made Ye Qing's heart skip a beat, but fearing she might be worrying unnecessarily, she suppressed her emotions and asked, "What's wrong?"
“Liang Youjie called me and said that Ranran and Xinxin were taken out to play by Xi Yue and haven’t been brought back yet.”
Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words, Ye Qing knew that her guess had been confirmed, and without saying a word, she turned around and entered the elevator again.
Seeing Ye Qing's expression, Xu Xiaoyue followed him into the elevator.
Seeing Ye Qing return, Xi Quan's assistant couldn't stop Ye Qing, but was taken aback by Ye Qing's angry appearance.
Hearing the office door open, Xi Quan glanced at the furious Ye Qing, raised an eyebrow, and waited for Ye Qing to ask a question.
Ye Qing walked up to Xi Quan, placed her hands on the table, and asked, "Xi Yue took the child away? Did Xi Yue take him away? Or was it at your behest? If anything happens to my child, I will absolutely not let this go."
When Xu Xiaoyue received Liang Youjie's call, she was so anxious that she didn't think about Xi Quan. She was mainly worried about how Xi Yue was doing with the child, since Xi Yue had been hospitalized for a long time due to illness.
Hearing Ye Qing question Xi Quan, and seeing Xi Quan's calm and composed demeanor, Xu Xiaoyue seemed to understand what was going on. She quietly closed the office door and left.
Xi Quan and Ye Qing had no time to care about Xu Xiaoyue at this moment.
Staring at the angry Ye Qing for a moment, Xi Quan leaned back in his executive chair and slowly said, "Getting impatient?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Ye Qing said impatiently. "Xi Yue is crazy. What if she's harmful to the child?"
"Ha, now you know how to worry about your child? As a mother, how can you say you're worried when you entrust your underage child to someone insignificant?" Xi Quan was also angry. He stood up, bent over, and placed his hands on the table, looking at Ye Qing with a sharp retort.
“Liang Youjie is not an outsider; the children call him Dad…”
The word "father" deeply stung Xi Quan. He raised his hand and grabbed Ye Qing's nape, pressing his head against her forehead. Xi Quan gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Qing, you are so heartless."
After saying that, Xi Quan withdrew his hand: "Divorce? I have no objection. Anyway, it's been so many years. According to the law, the court will automatically grant a divorce after two years of separation. We've been separated for more than two years, so I have no problem with the divorce. But I will definitely keep the child. I will never let my child call anyone else 'Dad,' not even 'Dad' in any language!"
Xi Quan's tough attitude gradually calmed Ye Qing down. She asked, "How can you be so sure the child is yours, Xi Quan? Sometimes you shouldn't be too confident. If you really plan to go to court, it won't look good if it gets out of hand."
"Hehe, I have nothing to say if you insist on slandering yourself like this, but Ye Qing, you really think I'm stupid. The child is five or six years old, and can clearly remember his own birthday. I can calculate it."
"you……"
To prevent Ye Qing from making any more excuses, Xi Quan said, "Twins are usually born prematurely. Don't say that you got pregnant before we got our marriage certificate. The night we got our marriage certificate was your first time! Besides, DNA testing is very easy now."
Although they were arguing, Ye Qing still felt a little embarrassed when Xi Quan said those words. She knew that Xi Quan had come prepared, and she had been careless.
In the past, Ye Qing might have confronted Xi Quan head-on, but after so many years, Ye Qing was a little unsure about Xi Quan. After thinking for a while, Ye Qing changed her approach and first showed weakness: "The child is with you, right? Can I see the child? I haven't seen the child for almost a month."
