At first, Xu Ying was reluctant to speak, but she felt very uncomfortable under Ye Qing's gaze, and she recalled her crushing defeats when she sparred with Ye Qing time and time again.
Swallowing hard, Xu Ying hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I don't know the specifics of our relationship. Liang Youjie is just using me; how could he possibly tell me too much?"
"So what kind of relationship do you know?" Ye Qing asked after staring at Xu Ying for a moment, without questioning her words. Moreover, Ye Qing felt that Xu Ying seemed to have become more self-aware than before!
Unable to avoid Ye Qing's repeated questions any longer, Xu Ying said, "It seems like he's the kind of person who can compete with Xi Quan for money, right? Xi Quan's maternal grandfather is rich, and Liang Youjie seems to be able to inherit his maternal grandfather's money or something."
Although Xu Ying told Ye Qing everything she knew, Ye Qing's doubts did not disappear.
"You mean the relationship between Liang Youjie and Xi Quan is like the relationship between you and me?" Ye Qing asked after a long pause.
Xu Ying shook her head: "I really didn't know. I found out by accident. Like this advertisement shoot, Zitai Fashion started looking for models a long time ago. The modeling agency I'm currently signed with has always had a cooperative relationship with Zitai Fashion. At first, I did think about giving it a try. After all, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If the new style becomes popular, then I'll be able to get more work in the future. You're a designer, so you should know that I can't walk the runway with my height. I can only take photos, which don't earn much money. I should seize every opportunity. But after seeing your press conference, I thought I'd better give up. Later, Liang Youjie found me."
Cousin Xu Ying is becoming more and more self-aware. Whether it's because she's been slapped in the face by reality and that's why she's started to change or something else, Ye Qing doesn't want to think about it. But from Xu Ying's words, Ye Qing can guess something. She asked, "Since Liang Youjie found you, he definitely didn't just want you to make money. He must have told you something else, right? Like breaking me up with Xi Quan?"
Xu Ying didn't really want to respond to Ye Qing's question, but Ye Qing's gaze left her no choice but to say, "You already know, so why are you asking me?"
This was a response to Ye Qing, but Ye Qing didn't want to know these ambiguous things. She said, "You need to know that it's not just Liang Youjie who has something on you; I know much more."
If this had happened in the past, Xu Ying would never have let it go after hearing Ye Qing say that. Even now, Xu Ying is still angry that Ye Qing is threatening her. But thinking back to when she first started modeling, she had a fight with a colleague, and somehow the other party found something to use against her, which escalated the situation and made Xu Ying unable to work for a long time. She has learned her lesson to some extent.
He also knew that Ye Qing was far more formidable than his colleague.
So after thinking it over for a while, Xu Ying followed up on Ye Qing's question and said, "Yes, Liang Youjie hopes that you and Xi Quan can break up completely. He said that after the advertising brochure for Zitai Fashion comes out, he will find someone to release some news or something to let people know about our relationship, and then ask me to act pitiful or something. But now that you have come to me, I think the brochures and stuff I shot are probably useless now, right?"
Hearing Xu Ying say that, Ye Qing remembered being photographed with Liang Youjie at the entrance of Nancheng University. So Ye Qing subconsciously looked outside the coffee shop and asked Xu Ying, "We met today, and no one outside is taking pictures, right? They probably already have the headlines in mind: Xi Quan's current wife is threatening his ex-wife, and the two wives are actually cousins!"
Xu Ying understood Ye Qing's sarcasm, and she gave a self-deprecating laugh: "If that's the case, you certainly won't look good, but I'll be even more embarrassed."
“Indeed, but you still agreed to help Liang Youjie. If such news really comes out, not to mention the impact on me, Xi Quan, and even you, it will definitely have a bad impact on Zitai Fashion. It’s not impossible that Liang Youjie will take the opportunity to make trouble and force Xi Quan to leave Zitai Fashion. In fact, this tactic is quite effective.” Ye Qing explained all the possible scenarios, so that he could discern what Liang Youjie might do next from Xu Ying’s attitude.
"Really, no, I didn't tell Liang Youjie when I came to see you today!" Xu Ying quickly waved her hand.
Ye Qing stared at Xu Ying for a long time, almost believing her. Just as she was about to look away, she caught a glimpse of something flashing on the glass of the window where the two of them were sitting.
After pausing for a moment, Ye Qing subtly shifted his gaze, took a sip of his coffee, then placed some money under the cup and said to Xu Ying, "I hope what you're saying is all true. Others may not know who I am, but you should."
Xu Ying, who was still sitting, looked up slightly at Ye Qing, who had already stood up. She felt like she had to look up to Ye Qing, which made her very uncomfortable. She chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid of you, okay?"
Ye Qing had previously thought Xu Ying was better than before, but after hearing her say this, Ye Qing thought she was still the same person, even if she had changed, she hadn't changed much.
With a slight curve to her lips, Ye Qing gave Xu Ying a distant yet polite smile, "I hope it's as you say."
After saying that, Ye Qing didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
As Ye Qing approached the coffee shop, she remembered the direction from which she had inadvertently seen the flash of light inside. She stood still for a moment, observed the area, and then walked in the direction she had chosen.
The other person didn't seem to realize that Ye Qing would come looking for them, so when Ye Qing walked over and faced the person with the camera, the other person was stunned. Ye Qing said expressionlessly, "Hello, thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, Ye Qing reached out and snatched the camera from the other person, then exposed the film directly.
Seeing the other person's stunned expression, Ye Qing said, "Who sent you? Go find them and tell them the film has been exposed."
After saying that, Ye Qing thought of Xu Ying. She glanced at the person taking the photos and walked towards the window seat where she and Xu Ying had been sitting.
As Ye Qing walked to the window, Xu Ying stood up. She looked like she was about to do something. Ye Qing was afraid that Xu Ying wouldn't see her, so she wanted to knock on the window. But at that moment, Xu Ying turned her head and looked over.
Since she had seen it, Ye Qing didn't need to knock on the window anymore. She raised the exposed film she was holding through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the coffee shop and waved it at Xu Yingyang.
Xu Ying saw it, but didn't quite understand what Ye Qing's actions meant, and continued walking out.
Moreover, Ye Qing also saw that she seemed to have given him a cold snort.
Don't understand?!
Ye Qing turned her head and looked in the direction where the photo had been taken. The person who took the photo saw Ye Qing looking over and awkwardly tugged at the corner of their mouth.
Then Ye Qing looked at Xu Ying again and found that Xu Ying was stunned in place.
This showed that she understood what he meant. Since she understood, that was good. Ye Qing once again waved the exposed film in his hand at Xu Yingyang.
