Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue also heard the sounds coming from the factory. Although they were both embarrassed, Ye Qing felt that her cousin had really not disappointed her.
Seeing Liang Lu awkwardly and uncomfortably about to turn and leave, Ye Qing quickly pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth.
After a moment of incredulous silence, Ye Qing grabbed Xu Xiaoyue and asked, "Did my cousin really leave? I wasn't paying much attention during filming, but she..."
Although Xu Xiaoyue still couldn't fully understand Ye Qing's actions, seeing how different Ye Qing's attitude towards Xu Ying was, Xu Xiaoyue knew that Ye Qing probably had some kind of plan in mind. So, she went along with Ye Qing's words: "You didn't leave, did you? I wasn't paying much attention either. You don't mean to say that inside..."
Seeing that Xu Xiaoyue was cooperating and pointing inside the factory, Ye Qing quickly grabbed her hand, signaling her to stop talking, since it wasn't anything good.
Although it was indeed not a good thing, and it was disgusting, Ye Qing knew that saying so much was enough, because she and Xu Xiaoyue were not speaking quietly.
At this moment, she saw Liang Lu turn around in disbelief, and even said somewhat angrily, "You mean the woman calling out inside right now is your cousin?"
Ye Qing swallowed hard. "I haven't overheard anything about my cousin. I don't know if this unusual voice is hers, but... today, besides Xiaoyue and me, the only other person here is the makeup artist, who was a woman. The makeup artist left even earlier than us, and I even greeted her..."
Liang Lu spat out a mouthful of saliva and asked, "Didn't you tell anyone that she's your cousin?"
Ye Qing was even more embarrassed: "Last time, everyone knew that Xi Quan was my ex-brother-in-law. I'm not sure if the people in this shoot are the same as last time. But no matter what, the reason Xi Quan and my cousin divorced... How could I openly tell people that she was my cousin? Wouldn't that just give people who know Xi Quan something to gossip about? So I didn't say anything."
At this moment, Ye Qing was no longer the forthright, generous, and frank person she had been before, nor the self-righteous and confident person she was when she confronted Xi Quan last time.
Her awkward and hesitant manner would have made Liang Lu think she was being pretentious in the past.
But Liang Lu wasn't thinking about that now. His ex-wife, who had cheated on his brother, came to his territory to disgust him. Liang Lu felt disgusted, as if he had eaten a stale, leftover meal. He even felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit up everything he had eaten in the past few days.
He angrily kicked the door open.
Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue followed them inside.
Liang Lu's sudden kick startled Xu Ying and the set designer in the factory. The set designer fell down instantly, and the two of them frantically searched for something to cover themselves.
Seeing Xu Ying's flustered state, Ye Qing thought she still had some sense of shame. But when she straightened her clothes a little, she angrily charged at Ye Qing: "Ye Qing, what do you mean?"
"Cousin, I didn't see you when I left. I was afraid you wouldn't know the way, so I came back to look for you. Who knew you wouldn't..."
The set designer over there didn't seem to take Liang Lu and Ye Qing too seriously, thinking they were all adults, but he just felt awkward.
But Ye Qing's address of "cousin" gave him a chill down his spine!
Having worked with Liang Lu extensively, he knew a lot about Xi Quan, and also knew that Liang Lu often had to be mindful of Xi Quan's feelings.
He also knew about Ye Qing's relationship with Xi Quan, so Xu Ying was Xi Quan's ex-wife.
Even though she's his ex-wife, he still got caught...
Seeing that Xu Ying seemed about to rush over and hit her, Ye Qing quickly pulled Xu Xiaoyue out.
Then, upon hearing a thud, Ye Qing quickly turned around and saw Xu Ying being thrown to the ground by Liang Lu.
Ye Qing smiled and went outside to wait.
Liang Lu came out soon after, and Ye Qing quickly stepped forward and said, "I'm so sorry, I never expected my cousin to..."
Liang Lu waved his hand, signaling Ye Qing to stop talking. He lit a cigarette. "This whole thing disgusted me. Why did your cousin come with you?"
"You asked me for money." Ye Qing didn't hide anything.
Liang Lu said to Ye Qing, "I'm afraid I can't take you back to school. You should go first."
Ye Qing remembered that she hadn't found the key yet, so she went back to find it and then "sensibly" left first.
She and Xu Xiaoyue walked away, and it wasn't until they got on the bus that Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh. Now she should be able to get Xu Ying away!
Seeing Ye Qing smile, Xu Xiaoyue asked, "You deliberately lured Liang Lu here, just to disgust him and get him to help you drive your cousin away?"
Ye Qing nodded: "Of course! I was a little worried that if Liang Lu and Xi Quan's relationship wasn't that good, he might not have bothered with other people's business. But now it seems that Liang Lu and Xi Quan have a very good relationship. Xi Quan is so lucky to have such a friend."
Ye Qing laughed after saying that. She was being sarcastic. If Xi Quan knew, he would definitely be furious.
Xu Xiaoyue smiled and asked, "But wouldn't it be better to let Xi Quan know?"
“My cousin didn’t know where I was at first, but Xi Quan and Xi Quan’s mother did. I guess she went to Xi Quan first, but Xi Quan ignored her. Then she went to Xi Quan’s mother, and Xi Quan’s mother encouraged her to find me. That’s why so many things happened later. With Xi Quan’s mother causing trouble behind the scenes, even if Xi Quan didn’t want to see his ex-wife, he probably wouldn’t be able to get rid of Xu Ying so easily. But Liang Lu probably doesn’t have that concern.”
Ye Qing shared her thoughts with Xu Xiaoyue.
At first, Ye Qing guessed that Xu Ying must have been told where she was by Quan Zhen, but Ye Qing didn't think much about when Xu Ying found Quan Zhen.
Later, Ye Qing thought about the events in context. When she went to Xi Yue's house to take Xi Yue's measurements, she met Quan Zhen. At that time, Xu Ying should have already arrived in Nancheng.
Because Xi Yue said that Xi Quan had been avoiding Quan Zhen, Quan Zhen was the one who found Xi Yue's grandmother.
Looking back now, Quan Zhen probably intended for Xi Quan to get rid of Xu Ying, and since they happened to run into each other, Quan Zhen deliberately used Xu Ying to annoy him.
Since everyone was trying to disgust him, Ye Qing figured he didn't need to be kind. So when he discovered Xu Ying was following him today, he had already decided to do this. He just didn't expect it to go so smoothly. It was truly a stroke of luck.
Xu Xiaoyue was happy for Ye Qing, but she was also a little worried about her because she didn't know what Ye Qing was thinking: "What if Liang Lu ignores you today? After all, your cousin and Xi Quan are already divorced."
Ye Qing said, "Of course I had more than one plan in mind, but today's success has exceeded my expectations."
"What are the other plans?" Xu Xiaoyue became gossipy again.
