Ye Qing was wondering why Ye Shuang insisted on provoking Xi Yue when he heard Xi Yue's words. Ye Qing snapped out of his thoughts and asked, "Why?"
After asking the question, Ye Qing answered it herself before Xi Yue could reply: "It's all about the money. Ye Shuang thought that even if Ye Shuwei's money wasn't all hers, she would at least get half, or at the very least a third. But in the end, she didn't get a single penny, while I took the money and donated it to the school for scholarships. How could she be at peace with that..."
Halfway through her sentence, Ye Qing remembered the person she had mentioned and cautiously turned to look at Xi Yue, only to find that Xi Yue didn't seem to have much of a reaction.
Xi Yue suddenly realized that Ye Qing had stopped halfway through her sentence and continued, "It's true that Ye Shuang is upset about not getting the money, but so many years have passed. Even if she's still upset, it's all in the past. After all, anyone who's not stupid should know that she won't get the money from you."
Ye Qing looked at Xi Yue in surprise. He hadn't expected Xi Yue to understand so well. This was a bit unexpected for Ye Qing. But to be honest, if he hadn't been chatting with Xi Yue, Ye Qing wouldn't have seriously thought about why Ye Shuang was so determined to make things difficult for him.
After all, Ye Qing is extremely busy every day, for the sake of life and career, and really doesn't have time to think about those things. She always faces everything with the attitude of dealing with whatever comes her way, unless she knows in advance what might happen, then Ye Qing will prepare in advance.
So upon hearing Xi Yue's words, Ye Qing asked again, "Then, in your opinion, why is Ye Shuang picking a fight with me?"
"envy."
Hearing Xi Yue's words, Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I don't like Liang Lu, so what is she jealous of me for? Or does she like Xi Quan?"
Xi Yue shook her head: "It's not because men are jealous of you, but because they are jealous of you because you can live a carefree life without relying on anyone."
This was the first time Ye Qing had heard someone say this. To be honest, Ye Qing's reborn identity made her all too clear about how important it was to be independent and not rely on others.
Ye Qing felt that this was just her instinct, and she didn't intend to show off her independence, since everyone's situation is different.
So when Ye Qing heard Xi Yue say that, he found it a bit unbelievable and chuckled softly.
"See? Your attitude alone is enough to make anyone grit their teeth in anger."
Ye Qing was stunned again. What was her attitude? But seeing that Xi Yue didn't seem to be joking, and since they were just chatting, Ye Qing didn't hide her emotions. Perhaps it was because Ye Qing hadn't vented her negative emotions to anyone for a long time, so she took this opportunity to say what was on her mind.
"My attitude? I don't deny that I'm financially independent now, but who knows how much I've sacrificed? Coming from Xiaoyao Village, I've tried my best to seize every opportunity. I had no other thought than to be able to support myself. But what's the reality? My own father had ulterior motives towards me, and when he couldn't achieve them, he wanted me dead. When I resisted, I was called unfilial. After going abroad, I had to study, raise my child, and work all at the same time. Who can understand the hardships I've endured? And that's not even mentioning the relationship. Ye Shuang hasn't experienced any of these hardships. What is she jealous of?"
Xi Yue nodded: "Indeed, she hasn't experienced it, but for someone who doesn't like you, she only cares about the result, not the process."
After saying that, Xi Yue continued drinking.
Ye Qing stared at Xi Yue for a moment, as if she could understand what Xi Yue meant.
After understanding Xi Yue's meaning, Ye Qing became even more uneasy, increasingly feeling that Ye Shuang's scheming against Xi Yue was not for Xi Yue's sake, but rather aimed at him.
As for why he had such thoughts, Ye Qing hadn't figured it out yet. Meanwhile, Xi Yue drank beer after beer until she got drunk.
Ye Qing was originally going to take Xi Yue to her grandparents' house, but seeing how drunk Xi Yue was, Ye Qing sighed and pulled the tipsy Xi Yue back into the car, taking her back to her own home.
Xi Quan had already put the two children to sleep. When he heard the car, he opened the door and came out, thinking that Ye Qing had returned.
Ye Qing has indeed returned, but there's also Xi Yue, who's had too much to drink.
"What happened?" Xi Quan helped Ye Qing carry Xi Yue into the house. Ye Qing quickly washed Xi Yue and came out. Xi Quan asked her.
"I had a little alcohol."
Hearing Ye Qing say this, Xi Quan frowned: "She still insists on marrying Liang Lu?"
"No, not really. I think you should have a good talk with Liang Lu. If you don't like Xi Yue, why do you insist on getting married? What if you don't make it to the end? It will be ugly for everyone," Ye Qing said to Xi Quan.
Xi Quan frowned but remained silent.
Looking at Xi Quan's expression, Ye Qing joked, "If I didn't know better, I would have thought Liang Lu liked Xi Yue."
It was just a joke, and Ye Qing didn't take it seriously. But after saying it, seeing Xi Quan's thoughtful expression, Ye Qing was surprised: "Really?"
If you truly like Xi Yue, but have been flirting with other women all these years, then I really don't know what to say.
Ye Qing originally wanted to tell him that Xi Yue had gone to the film set to cause trouble for Ye Shuang, but seeing Xi Quan's expression, Ye Qing swallowed her words.
Although she didn't tell Xi Quan, Ye Qing did hear a lot of what she and Xi Yue said while sitting by the roadside that day.
But Ye Shuang seemed to have really settled down, and nothing happened.
Ye Qing, Li Yeming, and Liu Yuliang have all returned to Nancheng, so they don't know what's going on with the film crew. However, Xu Xiaoyue will tell Ye Qing about it when she calls.
After filming wrapped up and they returned to Nancheng, Ye Qing met with Xu Xiaoyue. During their casual conversation, Ye Shuang was mentioned, but Xu Xiaoyue didn't say anything about him. Given Xu Xiaoyue's personality, if Ye Shuang were to cause any trouble again, she would definitely gossip about it with Ye Qing.
Since there's no gossip, it proves that Ye Shuang didn't do anything.
Ye Qing should have been relieved, but she felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
Even Xi Yue and Liang Lu, who seemed to be in a hurry to get married the next day due to the insistence of both sets of parents, are no longer in a rush. It seems that Xi Yue has started to delay, just as Ye Qing suggested.
Everything was peaceful and calm, which was wonderful, but Ye Qing felt uneasy. She even wondered if she was just not suited for this peaceful life.
However, although Ye Qing did not want to rely on anyone, she also did not want to remain so tense.
It wasn't until the dispute between Zitai Fashion and Liu Wei over who borrowed whose design was about to go to court that Ye Qing temporarily put aside his anxiety and focused his attention on the lawsuit against Liu Wei, even though winning this case was almost a certainty, because Ye Qing's side had very solid evidence.
Ye Qing's attention was more focused on the media, because the media was also paying attention to this matter.
