Xi Quan was quite surprised to receive Liu Yuliang's call. His initial anxiety had been building up, but now it was on edge again.
"What did Ye Qing say exactly?" After a long silence, so long that Liu Yuliang thought Xi Quan might have already hung up the phone, he heard Xi Quan ask this question.
"She didn't say much, just that she was leaving Zz1tai Fashion and would go back to her profession of design."
After listening to Liu Yuliang's words, Xi Quan remained silent for a long time before saying, "I understand. Let's leave it at that for now."
After hanging up the phone, Xi Quan was still a little dazed. Although Ye Qing had told him yesterday that he would no longer serve as the general manager of Zitai Fashion, Xi Quan thought that was just something he said in anger.
After things were discussed and things were out in the open, Xi Quan thought the matter was over. Although he knew Ye Qing was angry, Xi Quan felt it was because of his grandmother's phone call.
Even when Ye Qing was at work in the morning, she still gave Xi Quan a cold look, but Xi Quan still thought that Ye Qing was angry because of her grandmother's phone call.
Now, a phone call from Liu Yuliang made Xi Quan realize that he might have been careless, or rather, too optimistic, and that Ye Qingsheng was still very angry.
Therefore, Xi Quan did not dare to delay and immediately called Ye Qing.
However, Ye Qing did not answer. Ye Qing's secretary said that Ye Qing was in a meeting. Xi Quan did not dare to tell the secretary to ask Ye Qing to call him back after the meeting.
He was afraid that if he did that, it would make Ye Qing even angrier.
Xi Quan took the car keys and prepared to go to Zitai Fashion to find Ye Qing, but after getting in the car, Xi Quan changed his mind. What should he say to Ye Qing now?
Did you ask her why she didn't continue as the general manager of Taizi Fashion?
Ye Qing already gave the reason yesterday!
So going to find Ye Qing now would be like entering a dead end; a single wrong word could lead to an argument. Therefore, Xi Quan changed his mind and decided not to go to find Ye Qing.
After sitting in the car for a long time in deep thought, Xi Quan went to find Xi Yue.
Although Xi Yue and Li Yeming are partners, Xi Yue is actually just like Xi Quan said before: she takes a share of the profits, and usually doesn't go to Li Yeming's studio unless there's something important to do.
So Xi Quan found Xi Yue at his grandmother's house.
As soon as Xi Quan's grandmother saw him, she started nagging about what they hadn't finished talking about on the phone the day before. Xi Quan was so annoyed that he wanted to call Xi Yue out to talk about it as soon as possible.
However, Xi Yue only got up after Xi Quan arrived, and she needed to tidy herself up, so Xi Quan could only wait.
Although Xi Quan's grandfather didn't say anything, seeing Xi Quan's hesitant expression, Xi Quan knew that his grandfather also had something to say. He thought that his grandfather wouldn't be like his grandmother, so in order to persuade his grandfather to stop talking, Xi Quan asked his grandfather what was wrong.
Grandpa hesitated for a moment and said, "Xi Quan, we know that Ye Qing has little to do with this matter, but Xi Yue... When Xi Yue came back yesterday, I heard that Ye Qing was thinking of having Xi Yue bring it up herself. We need to think this through carefully, otherwise things could go wrong... Anyway, my point is that we can't let Xi Yue come forward. Ye Qing is very capable, she must have other ways."
Yesterday, when Xi Quan spoke to Ye Qing, praising her abilities, Ye Qing was quite agitated and clearly angry. Xi Quan didn't seem to notice much of this; it wasn't that he didn't see Ye Qing's anger, but rather that he didn't quite understand the reason for it.
In Xi Quan's view, he was just stating the truth; Ye Qing's abilities were indeed very strong.
However, now that he heard his grandfather say this about Ye Qing, Xi Quan finally understood how Ye Qing felt back then.
While these words are meant to be complimentary, implying Ye Qing's strong abilities, saying them makes it seem as if the incompetent person, who caused trouble and got into problems, should be left to fend for themselves by following the less capable.
To put it more simply, it's as if Ye Qing owes Xi Yue something.
In fact, Ye Qing owes no one anything. On the contrary, Xi Yue is the one who wronged Ye Qing. Xi Yue said that she was in a bad mood and sick back then, but she still hurt Ye Qing. Once the damage has been done, saying sorry can't make up for the mistakes made back then.
Therefore, Xi Quan was furious when he heard his grandfather's words, and he also understood why Ye Qing was so angry yesterday.
"Grandpa, why do you think Ye Qing should help Xi Yue just because she's in trouble? You know what happened back then. Who do you think owes whom?" Xi Quan couldn't help but ask.
Grandpa and Grandma were surprised to hear what Xi Quan said.
Grandma immediately disagreed and wanted to say something, but Grandpa grabbed her hand, signaling her not to speak. He then said to Xi Quan, "Xi Quan, did Ye Qing say something to you? What happened back then is in the past, and we haven't said anything about it since. Besides, we haven't said anything about you and Ye Qing's relationship either."
Xi Quan sneered: "So, according to you, if you object, Ye Qing and I will get a divorce, right?"
“It’s not that you’re getting a divorce, it’s just that marriage is a big decision and we should listen to the elders’ opinions, we…” Grandma was afraid that if she didn’t speak up, it would be too late.
Xi Quan said, "If Ye Qing divorces me, she can remarry in a heartbeat, and Ranran and Xinxin will call someone else 'Dad.' You think I'm good, but Ye Qing is also very good. She has plenty of money. If we really get divorced and go to court, the children won't be awarded to me because I have no advantage at all. When Ye Qing was pregnant and gave birth, I, the children's biological father, wasn't there."
Grandpa and Grandma were stunned by Xi Quan's words, and somewhat moved. But Xi Yue was ultimately raised by them, and they still cared more for her. Grandma couldn't help but say, "Nobody wanted you to get a divorce, it's just that Xi Yue..."
Before Grandma could finish speaking, a cold voice rang out from the doorway: "Xi Yue, Xi Yue, besides your granddaughter Xi Yue, Xi Quan is also your grandson, right? You can't always demand that Xi Quan do everything perfectly without ever considering his feelings. That's not fair to Xi Quan."
As Ye Qing spoke, she walked over from the doorway, her gaze cool and aloof as she looked at Xi Quan's grandparents.
Xi Quan's grandmother was already surprised to see Ye Qing, and when she heard Ye Qing say this, her expression changed immediately, and she completely disapproved of Ye Qing's words.
Xi Quan was very nervous, especially seeing that his grandmother seemed eager to talk. He was afraid that his grandmother would say something else in front of Ye Qing, so he quickly walked up to Ye Qing, grabbed her arm, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Can't I come?" Ye Qing asked back.
At this moment, Xi Quan couldn't tell whether Ye Qing was angry or not, but that didn't matter. In any case, he quickly shook his head: "That's not what I meant."
