Since the old man had already spoken, Ye Qing wasn't in a hurry to explain to Xi Quan, because the old man was going to be straightforward, and Xi Quan would know exactly what was going on.
She walked over to Xi Quan, took his hand, and indicated that she was alright.
Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing had come with the old man, and was only worried that Ye Qing would be made difficult by the old man. Ye Qing's attitude made her know that Ye Qing had not been made difficult, and Xi Quan was temporarily relieved. She shook Ye Qing's hand in return.
Liang Youjie glanced at Ye Qing and Xi Quan, sneered, and said to the old man, "You should talk to Xi Quan about this. I haven't done anything to him recently, but he started this tax issue. He's trying to wipe me out. Am I supposed to just sit here and wait to die? So don't blame me for what happens next."
Ye Qing and Xi Quan were both very angry when they heard this, but Xi Quan seemed to be used to it and was not as angry as Ye Qing.
Ye Qing couldn't stand others speaking ill of Xi Quan like that, and was about to retort when she saw that the old man was also very angry. This surprised Ye Qing, because the old man had spoken to her before and seemed to be protecting Liang Youjie. Why was he acting like this now...?
But no matter what, Ye Qing couldn't stand others talking about Xi Quan like that. She couldn't help but speak up for Xi Quan: "Isn't what you said a bit too much of a backhanded accusation? If Xi Quan and I don't fight back, we might be in trouble. There's no such thing as a thousand-year defense. Since someone has been eyeing us, we definitely have to fight back. To borrow your words, are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
Liang Youjie clenched his fist and looked at Xi Quan with a mocking expression: "Xi Quan, you're actually hiding behind a woman now, letting her speak for you?"
Hearing this, Xi Quan instinctively wanted to retort, but Ye Qing pulled him back, saying, "You don't need to use reverse psychology on Xi Quan. Xi Quan is my husband. If someone is bullying my husband, what's wrong with me speaking up for him? Besides, when have you ever seen Xi Quan hiding behind a woman? If he were hiding behind a woman, would you be in such a mess dealing with the audit right now?"
Xi Quan wasn't provoked by Liang Youjie's words, but Ye Qing's words moved him deeply. He subconsciously tightened his grip on Ye Qing's hand. In all his years, it seemed like no one had ever defended him like Ye Qing had!
Liang Youjie was extremely jealous. He said, "Ye Qing, I helped you a lot when you were abroad, and Ranran and Xinxin even call me Papa!"
"I heard what you just said, and I am now filled with remorse and pain for letting my son and daughter recognize a thief as their father!" Ye Qing said, "What I'm curious about is how you still have the nerve to say you helped me?"
Speechless at Ye Qing's words, Liang Youjie didn't know what to say. He remained silent, feeling extremely unwilling. He said, "Xu Ying's news has been quite lively lately, and it was also Xi Quan's doing. Ye Qing, you couldn't possibly not know that? Your husband treats his ex-wife like this. Aren't you worried that Xu Ying's current fate will be your future fate?"
Seeing that Xi Quan was about to argue with Liang Youjie again, Ye Qing grabbed him once more, glanced at Xi Quan, and seemed to say that Liang Youjie could handle it himself.
Ye Qing chuckled softly and said, "Thank you for your concern, but I think you might be a little schizophrenic? You're denying yourself?"
"What do you mean?" Liang Youjie was already furious with Ye Qing, but Ye Qing's words only made him angrier. Liang Youjie took a deep breath and asked Ye Qing with a forced smile.
"It's simple. If I were going to end up like Xu Ying, why didn't you all want me to have the child in the first place? That means I'm a threat to you." Ye Qing said with a smile, "You think I'm a threat, but at the same time you tell me to be careful and not end up like Xu Ying. What is this if not a split personality?"
After saying that, Ye Qing blinked and said, "Oh, it can't be completely called a split personality. You're just trying to sow discord between us, but your methods won't work on me and Xi Quan."
He remained silent, letting Ye Qing and Liang Youjie face off. As a man, this seemed a bit incompetent. However, seeing Ye Qing leave Liang Youjie speechless, Xi Quan felt honored. He was very proud because the outstanding and capable Ye Qing was his wife.
Catching a glimpse of Xi Quan's proud gaze, Ye Qing seemed encouraged. She smiled at Liang Youjie again and said, "The difference between me and Xu Ying is that I'm capable of making money on my own, and I won't be taken advantage of by you for a few dollars!"
“Ye Qing, there’s a saying that goes…” Liang Youjie couldn’t help but retort, but he was interrupted by the old man halfway through his sentence, “Shut up, all of you, what’s all the noise about? Do you think I’ve lived too long?”
Once the master spoke, Ye Qing naturally wouldn't say anything more. However, seeing Liang Youjie's disdain for the master's words, it seemed he was just short of admitting what the master had said.
However, Ye Qing didn't care about any of that. She had already said what she needed to say, and now she just stood obediently by Xi Quan's side, keeping the same opinion as him.
It seems that not only Xi Quan and Liang Youjie were indignant about the old man's words, but even Su Zhe, who was lying very weak in his hospital bed, was somewhat dismissive of them.
But the old man didn't seem to care. He looked at everyone and then said to Liang Youjie, "Stop it and stop targeting Xi Quan."
After saying that, he looked at Xi Quan and said, "Whether he pays enough taxes or not, just look at his own singing income and such. Don't involve the company!"
Is this a case of giving a stick and then offering a sweet treat?
Ye Qing had always thought that the old man was protecting Liang Youjie, but now, hearing this, it seemed that Xi Quan could treat Liang Youjie however he wanted, as long as it didn't involve their family's company's accounts.
This clearly shows they don't care whether Liang Youjie lives or dies.
Although Ye Qing was surprised, from her perspective, she had no reason to object to what the old man said.
Xi Quan sneered: "You really know how to be a good person. According to you, the money he earned from singing was used to pay the fine, and since the company is still doing well and won't starve, everyone's happy, right?"
The old man was quite angry at Xi Quan's words: "The company is doing well, and you won't starve. Don't forget that you are in charge of the company now! If something really happens, you won't be able to escape responsibility either."
Hearing this, Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan with concern, because what the old man said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
Noticing Ye Qing's worried gaze, Xi Quan reassured her by squeezing her hand, telling her not to worry. Then he looked coolly at his grandfather: "Do you think I'm that stupid? Now that I've already taken action, would I let myself suffer along with you?"
