Before Ye Qing could finish speaking, Xi Quan's grandfather suddenly stood up, glaring at Ye Qing while angrily saying to Jiang Xinya, "Make the apology statement according to her requirements."
"Grandpa..." Jiang Xinya called out to the old man with a wronged expression.
But the old man didn't even glance at Jiang Xinya. He shook his hand, turned around angrily, and left.
Seeing this, Jiang Xinya couldn't stay alone any longer and quickly followed the old man.
Seeing Jiang Xinya flee in panic, Ye Qing said from behind, "Remember your apology statement. If I don't see your apology statement in the next issue of your magazine, in the place I just mentioned, then I won't be so lenient with you now."
Jiang Xinya was already angry, and hearing Ye Qing's words made her even angrier. She stopped in her tracks, remained silent for a moment, and finally couldn't hold back any longer. She turned around and glared at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing smiled, seemingly unaware of Jiang Xinya's meaning. She asked, "What's wrong? Is it difficult? As far as I know, Zitai Fashion is a major advertising client of your magazine. I still have some say in Zitai Fashion. If you don't want Zitai Fashion's advertising, then so be it."
"Besides yours, there's another fashion magazine in Nancheng that's your arch-rival, but with a higher status. That magazine is Nancheng Publication, part of the Global Fashion Group. I think for Qingye Studio and Zitai, if we want to further enhance our reputation, that magazine is clearly a better choice than yours."
Seeing that Jiang Xinya's expression was getting more and more unpleasant, Ye Qing didn't continue speaking, and only added a closing remark: "Think it over carefully."
Then Ye Qing walked to the door, opened it again as it was about to close, and looked at Jiang Xinya, his intention to shoo her away was very clear.
Even though Jiang Xinya was still angry and unwilling, she couldn't stay any longer, because if she stayed any longer, she would only face more humiliation, and humiliation that she couldn't retaliate against at all.
So she glared at Ye Qing again resentfully, and then took the opportunity Ye Qing had given her, which was not really a way out.
After closing the door and turning around, Ye Qing didn't pay much attention to Xi Quan's expressionless face. However, as she passed by Xi Quan and was about to go upstairs, she vaguely heard him snort coldly. Only then did Ye Qing look at Xi Quan again. This time, Ye Qing could see the hidden anger beneath Xi Quan's expressionless face.
Slightly taken aback, Ye Qing continued upstairs. After taking a couple of steps, she couldn't help but turn to Xi Quan and ask, "Judging from your attitude, you're angry at me? If you are, how can I know why?"
Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing but said nothing.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Qing wouldn't pry into things, but when it comes to himself, he adheres to the principle of knowing himself and his enemy.
So Xi Quan's silence made Ye Qing feel that she had to find out what was wrong: "Did what I just said upset you? Do you mind me talking about your grandfather like that?"
Just now, Ye Qing's words implied that Xi Quan's grandfather might be senile, which is why the old man was so angry and ordered Jiang Xinya to accept Ye Qing's apology.
Because she understood the implication in Ye Qing's words about Xi Quan's grandfather, Jiang Xinya didn't dare to say anything more, even though she was furious.
"I don't mind," Xi Quan replied succinctly.
"Since you don't mind, then why are you angry?" After asking, Ye Qing subconsciously wanted to ask if Xi Quan was angry because she mentioned Jiang Xinya. However, she swallowed the thought before she could finish. At the same time, she suddenly realized something. She opened her mouth, not wanting to ask anymore, but she felt stifled if she didn't. After hesitating for a while, she finally asked, "Do you mind that I mentioned divorce?"
"If you already know, why did you say it?" Xi Quan knew that it was a bit selfish of him to ask Ye Qing to do this, because from Ye Qing's perspective, what she said just now was perfectly fine, since it was a hypothetical statement.
But when he told others, it was just a hypothetical situation, and it was also a hypothetical situation the moment Ye Qing said it. But Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing had really thought about divorcing him, and she hadn't even given up on that idea yet.
Therefore, Xi Quan was angry.
Rather than being angry, it's just tension and anxiety; anger is merely a cover.
So although Xi Quan admitted that he minded, he wasn't entirely convinced of it. Sometimes he even wished that Ye Qing really did love money as much as she said, so that he wouldn't worry about her always bringing up divorce.
For Xi Quan, if Ye Qing really wanted to divorce him, all he would have left was money.
Hearing Xi Quan's answer, Ye Qing didn't even consider whether Xi Quan's words were justified, because she was also angry: "Why can't I say things that you don't like? How should I have said it in that situation? Teach me!"
Although Ye Qing was standing on the stairs, because Xi Quan was tall, she wasn't much taller than him even on the stairs. In fact, because the distance between them was a bit far, she didn't seem very imposing.
After asking her question, Ye Qing went down the steps and walked up to Xi Quan. Although she was much shorter than Xi Quan compared to before, Ye Qing felt that arguing at such close range gave her a complete advantage in terms of momentum.
However, the truth is that Ye Qing is nearsighted and wasn't wearing glasses, so he couldn't see Xi Quan's expression clearly from a distance.
Xi Quan had no idea that Ye Qing had been going through so much in that short time. He said, "You can rely on me completely. They've all come knocking on our door. Do you think I would let you suffer a loss?"
Xi Quan certainly wouldn't do that, and from the current situation, Ye Qing could sense that everything about Xi Quan's maternal grandfather seemed to be in Xi Quan's hands, and they all had to listen to Xi Quan. In addition, given what happened at the Huamao Hotel a few years ago, Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan's methods were formidable.
Otherwise, how could someone so young have achieved this level of success?
Although he inherited it from his family, there are many people who inherit from their families, but few can do as well as Xi Quan.
Therefore, relying on the seat of power is certainly an option.
However, Ye Qing has never had the habit of relying on others!
Hearing Xi Quan's words, Ye Qing was also angry. She gave a self-deprecating laugh: "You should know that I've always been alone, with no one to rely on. Back then, I finally stopped being so strong and thought that now that I was married and had a husband, I could rely on him. But when I looked for you, when I needed you most during childbirth, where were you? Reality slapped me hard in the face, and you still tell me I can rely on you? Do you think I dare? You think I always talk about divorce? What if you were me?"
