Chapter 24 Head-to-Head



Ye Qing quickly raised her hand and patted her cheek, trying hard to suppress her laughter, before turning her head to look at the car parked next to her.

Liang Lu insisted on taking Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue back to their dorm. Xi Quan was initially unwilling, but when he saw Liang Lu's interested expression, he became very annoyed. He knew Liang Lu too well and was afraid that Liang Lu had taken a liking to Ye Qing, so he reluctantly turned the car back.

Who knew that Ye Qing would be smiling? I was in a terrible mood, but Ye Qing was so happy?

Xi Quan felt a little resentful. He asked, "What are you laughing at? Stop slapping your face. Your face is already as big as a plate. If you keep slapping it, you'll block the doorway and won't be able to get in."

Ye Qing was initially a little guilty, wondering if it was a bit unethical of her to tell Xu Xiaoyue that Xi Quan was no good. But now, hearing Xi Quan say that, Ye Qing realized she had been too kind.

She didn't usually gossip when she was in Xiaoyao Village, but growing up in the atmosphere of her uncle's house, Ye Qing was influenced by it a lot. To be honest, Ye Qing is not afraid to argue with people.

Ye Qing replied casually, "I laugh when I want to. Even if you're my ex-brother-in-law, I don't need to tell you, do I?"

"The way you look at me makes it seem like you're laughing at me?"

Ye Qing thought that this wasn't her fault. She had already served the appetizer; he should have just stopped while he was ahead. If he insisted on saying such things, then she couldn't blame anyone else. "Just now, I was talking to Xiaoyue about why you and Xu Ying got divorced, and what the real reason for the divorce was..."

Before Ye Qing could finish speaking, Xu Xiaoyue covered his mouth.

Just kidding, Ye Qing isn't afraid of arguing with Xi Quan, but Xu Xiaoyue isn't immune to Xi Quan's cold face; she's afraid.

Moreover, Xi Quan looked like he was about to get out of the car and beat Ye Qing up.

Seeing Xi Quan's state and then looking at Xu Xiaoyue and Ye Qing, Liang Lu realized that Ye Qing was a real daredevil and might say something that would make Xi Quan furious. So he quickly changed the subject: "You're going back to school, right? Get in the car, I'll take you back. This place is remote, I don't know if there are still buses."

Ye Qing instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she turned around and saw that Xu Xiaoyue didn't seem to refuse, Ye Qing hesitated.

Although Xu Xiaoyue thought that a good relationship with Liang Lu would help her make money in the future, she also refused because Ye Qing seemed unwilling.

Ye Qing, who was initially hesitant, saw that Xu Xiaoyue seemed to have changed her mind, so she stopped hesitating and ignored Xi Quan and Liang Lu.

Ye Qing's actions angered Xi Quan again, and he once again drove the car, kicking up dust.

Xi Quan seemed to still be breathing, but Ye Qing didn't care. She pulled Xiao Yue to leave, and as she turned around, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure in a corner not far away. Ye Qing thought that if she wasn't mistaken, it should be Ye Shuang, but hadn't Ye Shuang already left?

When Ye Qing looked back again, there was no one at the corner, so she didn't think about it anymore, since she wasn't familiar with Ye Shuang at all.

The money for the calendar auction was given immediately after the auction. Putting aside the dividends from the Xiaoyao Village coal mine, which were an unexpected surprise, today's calendar auction money was the first time Ye Qing had earned so much money on his own, and Xu Xiaoyue deserved the most credit for this.

After they arrived at the school, Ye Qing planned to treat Xu Xiaoyue to a meal at a small restaurant outside the school.

Xu Xiaoyue said forget it.

Ye Qing thought Xu Xiaoyue wanted to save her money. Although Ye Qing wasn't exactly rich, she wasn't stingy and knew what money should be spent and what could be saved. She said, "Although I don't have much money, I can still afford to treat you to a meal. Come on, don't be shy."

Seeing that Xu Xiaoyue was standing still and looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, Ye Qing blinked and said, "Xiaoyue, do you have something to say? Just say it."

"I am..." Although Ye Qing told Xu Xiaoyue to speak directly, Xu Xiaoyue still seemed a little hesitant to say it.

Ye Qing said, "Let's go, let's talk while we eat."

Ye Qing tried to pull Xu Xiaoyue away, but Xu Xiaoyue remained standing still. Ye Qing couldn't move her, so he sighed and said, "Xiaoyue, you've helped me so much. Just tell me what's on your mind. I won't ask for any more help. Whatever you need me to do, as long as it's within my power, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

"Actually, I didn't really help you, and in fact, it seems like I benefited from your help today..."

Ye Qing was surprised by Xu Xiaoyue's words and didn't understand why she said that for a moment. However, upon hearing Xu Xiaoyue's explanation, Ye Qing quickly explained to her based on her instincts: "Xiaoyue, you know, it would be a lie to say I don't want to make money, but I'm mostly doing it to earn some pocket money. I don't intend to make modeling my profession, after all, I'm not very tall..."

This was tantamount to telling Xu Xiaoyue that she wouldn't compete with her for the job. Ye Qing hoped Xu Xiaoyue would understand, but before she could finish, Xu Xiaoyue interrupted her: "That's not what I meant, Ye Qing, you misunderstood. I'm not afraid you'll take my job..."

"So what exactly do you want to say? Just say it! Don't waste time talking nonsense." Ye Qing pulled Xu Xiaoyue towards the small restaurant again. "Let's go eat first."

Although Xu Xiaoyue pulled Ye Qing back again, she didn't hesitate any longer: "Well, I just saw that Liang Lu seemed to want to take care of you. Ye Qing, if Liang Lu looks for you, could you take me with you?"

After saying that, Xu Xiaoyue seemed afraid that Ye Qing would misunderstand, so she quickly added, "I know that your relationship with Xi Quan is awkward, and you may not want to get involved with people he is close to. But Liang Lu has our contact information, right? I was thinking that if... if he... contacts you, and you don't want to go, could you recommend me to go? What do you think?"

At first, Ye Qing didn't understand what Xu Xiaoyue meant, but after hearing what Xu Xiaoyue said, she knew what Xu Xiaoyue was thinking.

After all, we all lived in the same dormitory. Even if we didn't know each other well, we knew a little bit about each other. When Xu Xiaoyue first came to school to register, she said that the reason she came to school was because she was scolded by a high-minded photographer when she was taking pictures. He complained that Xiaoyue couldn't understand his artistic way of expressing herself.

Xu Xiaoyue came to school to prove herself to others, which is different from Ye Qing, who graduated from high school and took the college entrance examination.

Although they both graduated with full-time undergraduate degrees, their different experiences and backgrounds led to different goals for Xu Xiaoyue and Ye Qing. Xu Xiaoyue was after the degree, while making money was her primary goal.

Ye Qing's goal was to learn knowledge and then use what he learned to make money.

Understanding Xu Xiaoyue's meaning, and seeing Xu Xiaoyue's cautious manner, Ye Qing felt a little embarrassed. She said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of that at first, so I was a bit blunt and revealed many secrets about Xi Quan that others don't know. I don't mind, but I'm afraid Liang Lu... As you can see, Liang Lu and Xi Quan have a good relationship. If Liang Lu doesn't come to us for Xi Quan's sake, then..."

Before Ye Qing could finish speaking, Xu Xiaoyue waved her hand and said, "That's impossible."

Ye Qing looked at Xu Xiaoyue with confusion, wondering why she was so certain.
