Ye Qing found the room where Old Master Ye lived. Seeing that the door was half open, he pushed it open and went in halfway. When he saw the person in the room, Ye Qing stopped in his tracks as he turned to close the door. He paused for a moment before continuing to close the door.
Ye Qing then slowly walked over and greeted the old man in the wheelchair: "How have you been lately?"
The old man stared at Ye Qing for a long time before speaking hesitantly, "Ye Qing?"
Ye Qing nodded, just about to speak, when another person in the room, the one who surprised Ye Qing, Ye Shuang, spoke up sarcastically: "Grandpa, you still recognize Ye Qing? That's rare. You've lived here for several years, has Ye Qing ever come to see you?"
Although it was a bit strange to see Ye Shuang in the old man's room, Ye Qing thought that the reason he came to see the old man today was because Liang Lu had told him about Ye Shuang, so it wasn't so strange.
As for Ye Shuang's sarcastic remarks, Ye Qing didn't care at all, since she had never had a calm conversation with Ye Shuang anyway.
Ye Qing didn't care about Ye Shuang's sarcasm, but she was concerned about the old man's reaction. When she heard Liang Lu say that Ye Shuang seemed to be plotting against her recently, the only person Ye Qing could think of was the old man.
Initially, Ye Shuang collaborated with Liu Wei hoping to see him suffer. Now that Liu Wei is also in trouble, if Ye Shuang were to make things difficult for him again, the only person Ye Qing could think of was the old man.
After all, he and his grandfather were hardly even acquainted, and given the coldness inherited in the Ye family genes, Ye Qing wondered if his grandfather might turn around and accuse him.
So even if Ye Shuang hadn't run into him here today, Ye Qing would still have asked the old man.
However, Ye Shuang asked the question first. Although Ye Shuang's tone was sarcastic, for Ye Qing, as long as he could get a definite answer from the old man, the opening remarks didn't matter. In the end, as long as they could reach the same conclusion, that was fine.
So Ye Qing and Ye Shuang both looked at the old man. However, compared to Ye Shuang's ambiguous, amused attitude, Ye Qing seemed quite calm.
In reality, Ye Qing was far less calm than she appeared, but she wouldn't let Ye Shuang see her anxiety in front of her.
However, just as Ye Qing and Ye Shuang were competing to see who could keep their composure, they heard the old man speak indistinctly: "Go!"
Ye Qing was naturally unwilling to accept the old man's attitude, while Ye Shuang felt that she had arrived earlier than Ye Qing and had said everything she needed to say, so there was nothing wrong with leaving now. She gave Ye Qing a defiant look and left first.
Ye Shuang left gracefully without any hesitation, and even his provocative demeanor at the end made Ye Qing wonder if Ye Shuang had said something to the old man before he arrived.
Although Ye Qing always appears calm when she encounters difficulties or crises, that's just her outward appearance. She tries her best not to let anyone see the anxiety, unease, and tension in her heart.
Because she had no one to rely on, if even the slightest bit of her guilt were noticed, others might be able to make up for it in other ways, but for Ye Qing, it could be utterly devastating.
Just like now, because of Ye Shuang's attitude, Ye Qing was actually very uneasy, but he did not show it when he looked at the old man. Instead, he was very calm: "Looking at you now, I think I have not inherited your son's money for nothing. After all, I will never forget what you looked like when I sent you to the hospital. I grew up in the countryside, but from the time I can remember until I left the countryside, I have never seen anyone as miserable as you were back then."
Ye Qing's words seemed to express his feelings, but at the same time, they were also a reminder to the old man of what he had experienced and what Ye Shuang had done to him.
Clearly, the old man understood Ye Qing's meaning. His gaze shifted back to Ye Qing, and he stared at Ye Qing for a long time while sitting in his wheelchair. Then he slowly said, "All the money I have for living here is from you. If it weren't for you, my retirement pension would probably have been taken by Ye Shuang."
Retirement pension? Ye Qing was slightly taken aback. She had never thought about this question before, because she had no concept of retirement pensions since childhood.
Because she lacks all of these things, she works hard to earn money to increase her sense of security.
After a moment of doubt, just as Ye Qing was about to ask about his retirement pension, the nurse came in and said that it was time for the old man's daily physiotherapy.
Since the old man had no intention of talking to Ye Qing after saying that, Ye Qing didn't want to make things awkward. Although he still had many questions, he left first.
After leaving the sanatorium, Ye Qing carefully recalled the old man's words again. It seemed that the reporter meant well.
Whether he remembered her kindness or not, Ye Qing didn't really care. She just hoped that the old man wouldn't cooperate with Ye Shuang in scheming against her.
Ye Qing was still a little concerned about the retirement pension that the old man had mentioned!
Ye Qing confirmed that he hadn't done it, but the old man said that. Judging from his words, Ye Shuang seemed to have been eyeing his retirement pension before. Since Ye Shuang was eyeing it, but didn't ask for it, the old man received whatever amount he was entitled to each month.
Could this be part of Ye Shuang's scheme?
It's not that Ye Qing is overthinking things, but Ye Shuang's current financial situation is better than before, though not exceptionally good. She and Xu Xiaoyue are quite different. Xu Xiaoyue is now famous and making money, while Ye Shuang is neither famous nor not famous. Among all the beautiful actresses, she doesn't stand out much. In the modeling world, her height isn't particularly advantageous.
So back when calendar shoots were so lucrative, Ye Shuang was initially more famous than Xu Xiaoyue, but in the end, she was overshadowed by Xu Xiaoyue, which is why Ye Shuang always disliked Xu Xiaoyue.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Qing felt that he really needed to figure out the retirement pension issue, otherwise it would be terrible if Ye Shuang tricked him without him knowing.
So after leaving the sanatorium, Ye Qing didn't go straight back to Zitai Fashion. Instead, she went to see the lawyer, the same lawyer who had helped them handle Ye Shuwei's estate.
As it turns out, the lawyer has a case to attend to in court today and has gone to court. The people at the law firm don't know when he'll be back.
Ye Qing waited for a long time, but the lawyer still hadn't returned. Plus, she had a lot of things to do herself, so she stopped waiting.
Because both Zitai Fashion and Qingye Studio's new styles are about to be released, and after the recent news and other events, the release time of Zitai Fashion and Qingye Studio's new styles is already a bit later than the industry's conventional release time, so they now have to work overtime.
Ye Qing was busy with everything and didn't notice that she was in the news again until the advertising department of Zitai Fashion rushed to find her and asked her what to do. Only then did she realize that she was in the news again.
