Liang Youjie had planned this all along; he was determined to see Ye Qing no matter what. So he wasn't surprised when Ye Qing asked him to come up, and he wasn't even surprised to see Ye Qing's angry expression.
However, his feelings for Ye Qing were complicated. At first, he had the intention of using her, but his love for her was also genuine. Therefore, Liang Youjie felt conflicted when faced with an angry Ye Qing.
Even if Liang Youjie hadn't made that call, Ye Qing was still going home, so she was really anxious. But when Liang Youjie arrived, he didn't say anything and just kept staring at Ye Qing. Ye Qing felt very uncomfortable and angry under his gaze.
So he took the initiative and said, "Speak up, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Ye Qing, when did you become so aggressive?" Liang Youjie still didn't get to the point, instead sounding a bit aggrieved.
Ye Qing was disgusted by this attitude. She said, "What I am is my own business. After learning about what has happened these past few years, I don't think there's anything left for us to talk about. And judging from what you said on the phone just now, Ye Shuang's news today must be related to you. Since you've schemed against me time and time again, why can't I be aggressive towards you? Should I talk to you nicely? Sorry, I'm not that pathetic. Besides, I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between likes and dislikes!"
Liang Youjie had anticipated Ye Qing's attitude, but facing Ye Qing in person still felt somewhat unbearable.
He had always felt that he was using Ye Qing more than he was using her, but recently, Liang Youjie has become increasingly aware of one thing: his feelings for Ye Qing are also genuine.
That's why he hoped to reconcile with Xi Quan, or at least avoid the current tense situation.
Of course, Liang Youjie knew that there was no possibility between him and Ye Qing, but even if there was no possibility, Liang Youjie did not want Ye Qing to think that he was a despicable person.
He wanted to reconcile, but perhaps because he had been scheming for too long, even if he did reconcile, it wouldn't be a proper reconciliation. He still had to use Ye Shuang first, letting her stab Ye Qing in the back.
Seeing Ye Qing's impatient expression, Liang Youjie was afraid that Ye Qing would leave directly, so he quickly spoke up: "I know that it will be useless for me to say anything now, but I really want to reconcile with Xi Quan. I hope you can tell Xi Quan that I only need to receive dividends from my grandfather's company every year, and Xi Quan will still be in charge of the operation and management."
Besides genuinely liking Ye Qing, Liang Youjie also genuinely lacked business acumen. In addition, the company was currently under audit, and it might go bankrupt in the future, leaving him with nothing but financial ruin.
In the past few days, Liang Youjie has had people repeatedly assess the company's current situation, and it's 90% likely to go under, so he has no choice but to reconcile with Xi Quan.
However, Liang Youjie felt awkward asking Xi Quan to take the initiative to reconcile, so he came to Ye Qing instead.
Hearing Liang Youjie's words, Ye Qing scoffed: "Why do you say everything? You were the one who went against us back then, and now you're the one saying you want to reconcile. If you were me, would you believe it?"
"No matter what, I really want to reconcile." Liang Youjie felt that saying these things in front of Ye Qing was not shameful, and it was within his tolerance: "Besides, the reason I did so much was simply to get what should have been mine. Was I wrong?"
"It's fine if you use normal means to get back what belongs to you, but how did you do it?" Ye Qing retorted. "Although I don't know everything about what happened between you and Xi Quan over the past few years, I called Xi Quan as soon as I got off the plane when I went abroad. At that time, I couldn't get through to Xi Quan. It's obvious that you were prepared in advance. Now you have the nerve to say that you are innocent?"
Liang Youjie remained silent for a long time. He felt that he was also a pitiful person. If he talked to Ye Qing, maybe Ye Qing would soften her heart. Wasn't Xi Quan able to get Ye Qing to accept him by being pitiful?
Of course, this was Liang Youjie's own thought. After considering it, he felt that it might actually work.
"Ye Qing, you can't always think about what bad things I did in the past. Even when we met again in Nancheng, I was always helping you."
Ye Qing glanced at Liang Youjie and remembered the past. When he first became afraid of calendars, Liang Youjie helped him out of a predicament. Later, when he was almost tricked by Liu Wei, it was Liang Youjie who called Xi Quan and asked him to save him.
At the time, Ye Qing was indeed moved and grateful to Liang Youjie. However, after learning so much, Ye Qing found it difficult to remain calm and couldn't help but sarcastically say, "If you had genuinely helped me back then without any ulterior motives, I would have been grateful to you. I've said before that I am a person who clearly distinguishes between love and hate."
Ye Qing didn't mean to test Liang Youjie when she said that; she was just a little impatient and spoke according to her mood. After she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Liang Youjie's embarrassed expression out of the corner of her eye. Ye Qing was very surprised. Could it be that her unintentional words had actually hit the mark?
She asked, "So, when we met by chance in the south of the city, it was actually intentional on your part?"
Liang Youjie knew that letting Ye Qing know that he had a purpose from the beginning would make Ye Qing dislike him even more. Although he didn't know that Ye Qing had stumbled upon the truth by accident, he was still very embarrassed to have Ye Qing find out.
Liang Youjie's attitude made Ye Qing realize that he really had been using her from the very beginning. How ridiculous! She walked to the office door, opened it, and pretended to see him off.
For Liang Youjie, what he feared most had come to pass. Seeing Ye Qing's resolute attitude, Liang Youjie was still a little unwilling to give up. Even if it wasn't for his feelings for Ye Qing, but for the money, he felt that since he was here, he should find a way to get Ye Qing to help him convey his message that he wanted to reconcile with Xi Quan.
So, as he walked to the door and passed Ye Qing, Liang Youjie couldn't help but defend himself again: "Putting everything else aside, at least when Xi Quan had his car accident, it was I who reminded him, which prevented something even more serious from happening!"
"You reminded him?" Ye Qing didn't want to say anything more to Liang Youjie, but Liang Youjie kept saying things that were hard to agree with. "If you really had such good intentions, you should have prevented this from happening in the first place, instead of just reminding Xi Quan!"
Seeing that Liang Youjie still wanted to argue, Ye Qing didn't give him the chance: "Let's not talk about the past. After all, I don't know much about it. Most of what I learned was from Xi Quan. To avoid you finding fault and saying I'm biased, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about today's events. Ye Shuang's news is related to you, isn't it? Since you came here to reconcile, you're instigating Ye Shuang to create this kind of news to fabricate about me. Is this your so-called sincerity in reconciliation?"
