Upon hearing this, Xi Yue became even angrier: "Ye Qing, what do you mean by that? Ye Shuang is related to you, so are you speaking up for her now? If she weren't still entangled with Liang Lu, I wouldn't have come to find her. Is it wrong for me to confront San'er?"
Ye Qing said helplessly, "You heard what I just said to Ye Shuang. Every word I said was meant to humiliate her, and to defend you. When did I ever say you shouldn't have bothered Ye Shuang? What I meant was that Ye Shuang is no pushover either. You insisted on getting married before your relationship with Liang Lu was even at the point of marriage. Inevitably, there will be disagreements and conflicts later. I hope you'll remember that you and Sister Li are business partners."
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Yue suddenly stood up, glared at Ye Qing for a while, and then stormed off.
Ye Qing said to Xu Xiaoyue, "Have your agent take her there."
"Oh, okay," Xu Xiaoyue replied and quickly chased after him.
After everything was arranged, Xu Xiaoyue came back to find Ye Qing, hesitated for a moment, and asked Ye Qing, "Is it okay for you to talk to Xi Yue like that?"
Ye Qing understood Xu Xiaoyue's concerns: "Xi Quan means that Liang Lu doesn't want to get married, and it's a bit like forcing him into marriage with Xi Yue. Xi Yue is only marrying him because she has no other options, and she's not that opposed to Liang Lu; she might even have some feelings for him. It's not that they can't be happy together, but getting married so hastily is definitely not a good thing. I can't persuade Xi Yue, but I can't just watch Xi Quan worry. That's why I deliberately provoked Xi Yue earlier, to make her seriously consider marriage because of her illness. If her relationship with Liang Lu progresses during this process, then marriage isn't out of the question."
“But Xi Yue might not understand your good intentions. What you said just now was a bit cruel,” Xu Xiaoyue said.
Ye Qing nodded: "It is cruel, but there is no other way. I don't want her to be grateful to me. I'm not doing this entirely for her. It's more for Xi Quan. Besides, she's not that familiar with Sister Li, so she probably has more concerns. If I had said that she might affect Zitai Fashion, she probably would have just given up and continued to do whatever she wanted."
"Sigh, I've seen Xi Yue a few times before, and I thought she was all better," Xu Xiaoyue couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Qing used to think that Xu Xiaoyue was better, after all, every time she saw her, she seemed very peaceful and uncompetitive. Compared to her former brightness, she was now very low-key and had a very low profile. Every time she saw her at Xi Quan's grandparents' house, she was even less noticeable.
But who would have thought that such a seemingly unassuming person would come and cause trouble for Ye Shuang?
Either Xi Yue was faking it before, or her illness still can't withstand any stimulation.
Ye Qing had no better options, so for Xi Quan's sake, he could only fight fire with fire.
After working on the film set for a few more days, Ye Qing returned to Nancheng, along with Li Yeming and Liu Yuliang.
Normally, costumes for a film crew are designed and made before filming begins. However, this time, because the director had high requirements and the previous designs did not meet the requirements, Ye Qing and his team were hired to design and make costumes simultaneously before filming started.
Now that the design is complete, Ye Qing and the others don't need to keep an eye on the production anymore, so they can return to Nancheng.
Before returning to Nancheng, Ye Qing had told Xi Quan. Xi Quan personally went to pick Ye Qing up. After bringing Ye Qing back, Xi Quan got busy again, so Ye Qing went to Xi Quan's grandparents' house alone to pick up the two children.
The child went to play at the neighbor's house, so Ye Qing didn't go to find him right away. Thinking that it had been a long time since she had visited the two elderly people, she decided to have a good chat with them.
Ye Qing actually had no experience in getting along with the elderly. In addition, the last time she visited Xi Quan's grandparents' house, Xi Quan's grandmother told Ye Qing that she hoped to change the child's surname, which Ye Qing explicitly refused.
Although the matter was never mentioned again, the last time was somewhat unpleasant, so Ye Qing thought he should say something.
However, before Ye Qing could figure out how to start the conversation, she heard her grandmother sigh deeply and say, "Ye Qing, I know it's not appropriate for me to say this, but I really have no other choice right now."
Hearing this opening, Ye Qing felt a sense of unease. Before she could speak, her grandmother continued, "Xi Yue is not young anymore, and neither are your grandfather and I. We can't keep watching over Xi Yue forever. Now that someone is finally willing to marry her, she's still hesitant. I know that you and Xi Yue... It's not really appropriate for you to persuade her now, but she always asks you to call her 'sister-in-law,' doesn't she? If she doesn't get married, you and Xi Quan will have to take care of her in the future. So, you should talk to her and ask her to get married sooner rather than later."
Ye Qing couldn't quite describe her feelings. Her emotions were extremely complicated, and she even understood why Xi Yue wanted to get married. In fact, if it weren't Liang Lu, she might have married someone else as well, because her family was urging her to get married, all under the guise of doing it for her own good.
Just as she was about to speak, Xi Yue came downstairs. She glanced at her grandmother, who was clearly very angry, but in the end she only said one sentence: "It's no use talking to Ye Qing. Ye Qing already told me that she hopes I can think things through before getting married and not be impulsive."
Grandma was clearly surprised by this. She looked at Ye Qing with confusion and asked, "Ye Qing, did you really say that to Xi Yue?"
Ye Qing didn't care about Xi Yue's attitude, nor did she deny what she had said.
However, Grandma was very dissatisfied: "Ye Qing, how can you say that? Xi Yue and Liang Lu know each other very well, and they are a perfect match for marriage. By the time she has made up her mind, this matter may fall through. Besides, you know what kind of person Xi Yue is. Is she the kind of person who can be picky?"
Ye Qing finally understood why Xi Yue had become so inconspicuous before. It might not have been what she wanted, but rather because her family members kept reminding her that she was different from others, forcing her to pretend and appear to have no temper.
Xi Yue gave a self-deprecating chuckle.
Just as Ye Qing was about to speak, the two children returned from the neighbor's house. They were very happy to see Ye Qing and cuddled with her for a while before Ye Qing took the two children away.
After going outside, Ye Qing saw that Xi Yue had also come out. He paused for a moment and said to Xi Yue, "Let's go together and have dinner at my house."
Xi Yue blinked, hesitated for a moment, and got into Ye Qing's car.
After dinner, Ye Qing asked Xi Quan to stay home and look after the children. She saw Xi Yue off, and halfway there, Xi Yue asked quietly, "Now do you think I should get married or, like you said, start dating first?"
