When Ye Qing shouted that, Xi Quan was immediately stunned.
He just blurted out whatever he was thinking without thinking about whether it was appropriate. Only after Ye Qing questioned him did Xi Quan realize that he didn't really have any right to say anything.
However, seeing Ye Qing's indignant expression, Xi Quan couldn't help but think of how pitifully Ye Qing had asked him for help back in Xiaoyao Village.
How much time has passed?!
Although looking at Ye Qing now, Xi Quan felt that Ye Qing's pitiful state back then was probably an act. But regardless of whether it was an act or not, Xi Quan thought that he had helped her time and time again, and he couldn't just take advantage of her like this. He had kindly given her some advice, but she wouldn't listen.
That's so heartless.
Xi Quan seemed to be provoked as well, raising an eyebrow: "Because I'm your ex-brother-in-law."
"Huh?" Xi Quan's words left Ye Qing speechless. After she asked the question, Xi Quan remained silent. Ye Qing thought he had stumped him and was about to leave.
Who knew I would hear such an amazing answer?
Even though Xi Quan's answer was not wrong, Ye Qing's patience was almost exhausted by Xi Quan's rambling.
She felt that her attitude was already very clear. If Xi Quan continued to be so long-winded, and his mother Quan Zhen found out, she would be the one to suffer.
Although Ye Qing wasn't exactly a timid person, she didn't want to be constantly bothered. Of course, if Quan Zhen really had some ulterior motives, Ye Qing would accept it.
The truth is, Ye Qing didn't want anything.
So at this moment, Ye Qing's thoughts were the same as Xi Quan's earlier thought about not wanting Ye Qing to come and take pictures of the calendar again: she wanted to say what was on her mind: "Xi Quan, just how big is your heart? How can you say something like that so frankly..."
Ye Qing didn't finish speaking, but Xi Quan subconsciously asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Yes, you're right, you are indeed my ex-brother-in-law, legally recognized, but why did you get a divorce? Because my cousin cheated on you. I feel embarrassed to even see you, yet you can still be so nonchalant..."
Ye Qing couldn't think of any adjectives to use, so he gave Xi Quan a thumbs up, meaning "You're awesome."
Afterwards, Ye Qing pulled Xu Xiaoyue to leave, but Xu Xiaoyue was still immersed in the gossip she had just heard and was dumbfounded!
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue like this, Ye Qing tugged at her sleeve and said, "Let's go."
Turning around, he caught a glimpse of Liang Lu standing behind them, clearly having heard something.
When Liang Lu saw that Ye Qing had noticed him, he coughed awkwardly.
Ye Qing thought helplessly that he should burn some paper money before going out in the future to ask his ancestors for blessings, otherwise how come there are always people listening to him when he speaks and seeing what he does?
Luckily it was broad daylight; if it were nighttime, with such unpredictable appearances and disappearances, I would have been terrified.
After Ye Qing pulled Xu Xiaoyue away, Ye Qing was lost in thought, while Xu Xiaoyue was still in shock. Neither of them said anything, and they just started walking forward, afraid of missing the bus. Suddenly, they heard an angry voice behind them: "Get lost!"
You can tell that it's Xi Quan's voice.
It must have been Liang Lu and Xi Quan who said something. Although Ye Qing and Xi Quan didn't hear it, they weren't curious.
However, Xi Quan's irritable voice brought Xu Xiaoyue back to her senses.
Previously, Ye Qing was practically dragging Xu Xiaoyue along, but now Ye Qing felt like Xu Xiaoyue, who was taller than her, was pulling her along.
After walking a few steps faster, Ye Qing couldn't keep up and stopped: "Xiaoyue, my legs aren't as long as yours, walk slower."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qing saw Xu Xiaoyue "sneakily" look behind her.
Ye Qing was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Xi Quan and Liang Lu could no longer see her, Xu Xiaoyue affectionately took Ye Qing's arm and asked, "Does your ex-brother-in-law have some kind of hidden illness?"
Ye Qing paused for a moment, then pulled away slightly from Xu Xiaoyue, tilting her head up to look at her: "What do you mean?"
"Oh, it's Xi Quan. Didn't you say he divorced your cousin because of her?" Xu Xiaoyue explained, afraid Ye Qing wouldn't understand. "Although I've always said that Xi Quan looks very capable and serious, he's really good-looking. Such a handsome man, and your cousin still... Isn't it because your ex-cousin-law is crazy?"
If she hadn't heard Xu Xiaoyue say that, Ye Qing would never have thought about this issue. Although she already knew about Xu Ying's situation, she wasn't very familiar with Xi Quan at that time. In addition, when Xi Quan returned to Xiaoyao Village and divorced Xu Ying, Ye Qing herself also had trouble.
To get out of trouble, Ye Qing and Xi Quan helped each other out.
Ye Qing never thought that the two might cross paths again, so she had no idea what was going on between Xi Quan and Xu Ying.
Now that Xu Xiaoyue has brought it up, Ye Qing thinks it's unlikely, but she has to admit that when Xi Quan returned to Xiaoyao Village and married Xu Ying, it surprised everyone!
According to the elders of Xiaoyao Village, Xi Quan's parents fell in love not long after they arrived in Xiaoyao Village, and soon after, they had Xi Quan, and then they had no choice but to get married.
After Xi Quan's father passed away, Xi Quan left Xiaoyao Village. At that time, Xi Quan seemed to be in high school.
When Xi Quan returned to Xiaoyao Village, he married Xu Ying. Ye Qing didn't know what happened in between.
Seeing that Ye Qing remained silent and seemed lost in thought, Xu Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask, "It can't be true, can it?"
Startled by Xu Xiaoyue's surprised voice, Ye Qing said somewhat embarrassedly, "How could I possibly know the answer to such a question?"
"Didn't you ask your cousin?"
These words made Ye Qing even more helpless: "I've already told you about my relationship with my cousin. Do you think we're the kind of people who would talk about these things? Besides, who would talk about this?"
Xu Xiaoyue could tell that Ye Qing seemed very capable, but also very simple-minded, and that her gossipy questions were beyond her comprehension.
The two were chatting when a car drove by, speeding so fast that it kicked up dust.
Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue instinctively covered their mouths as they turned around.
"That's outrageous." Ye Qing muttered irritably after the dust had settled. He noticed that the car seemed to have slowed down. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could make out that Xi Quan and Liang Lu were in the car.
For some reason, Ye Qing thought of what Xu Xiaoyue had just told her: that Xi Quan had a problem.
In an instant, Ye Qing felt a little more sympathy for Xi Quan. He could almost understand why Xi Quan had driven so fast and kicked up so much dust. After all, people need to vent their anger, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help but smile. But before the smile could fully bloom, the car suddenly reversed and stopped next to Ye Qing in a cool manner.
