If what Liang Youjie told me at the time was a lie, then what was the real reason?
Ye Qing asked Xi Quan what the real reason was.
Instead of answering Ye Qing, Xi Quan asked, "What did he say to you back then?"
Ye Qing tried hard to recall what Liang Youjie had said and then recounted the gist of it to Xi Quan.
She had barely finished speaking when she heard Xi Quan let out a cold laugh.
Judging from Xi Quan's attitude, Ye Qing realized that Liang Youjie probably already knew at that time that Quan was his biological mother, and everything He Zi said was just an excuse.
If that's the case, Ye Qing suddenly thought of a possibility: "Did Su Mei break up with Liang Youjie because she knew his true identity?"
Xi Quan hadn't originally intended to hide these things from Ye Qing, but he hadn't figured out how to explain them yet. Now that Ye Qing had asked, Xi Quan didn't hide anything and told her everything he knew.
"It's true that Su Mei and Liang Youjie were dating back then. But you know Liang Youjie's background before he started singing. Su Mei initially approached Liang Youjie hoping he could help her investigate her father's past. As they kept in touch, they became familiar with each other and gradually became a couple. Later, Liang Youjie found out a lot of things, including that Quan Zhen was his biological mother."
After Liang Youjie learned that Quan Zhen was his biological mother, the details of Su Mei's father's past became irrelevant to him. In fact, in order to reunite with his wealthy mother, he would keep the truth from Su Mei even after learning about what happened back then.
In fact, he did just that. After finding out who his biological mother was, Liang Youjie resigned and came to Nancheng.
Because he wanted to acknowledge Quan Zhen, he concealed his relationship with Su Mei. Su Mei was puzzled at the time, as it wasn't unspeakable for a male singer to have a girlfriend in the mid-1990s.
However, if Liang Youjie didn't say anything, Su Mei would definitely overthink it over time, and she would wonder what Liang Youjie really meant. It was in this state of confusion that Su Mei inadvertently learned about the relationship between Liang Youjie and Quan Zhen, and also learned about what happened to her father back then. That's why Su Mei quietly went through all the procedures for going abroad, and only told Liang Youjie before leaving.
Although Liang Youjie was unaware that Su Mei already knew everything, Su Mei's departure couldn't be a bad thing for him; at least he no longer had to pretend with Su Mei.
After leaving, Su Mei kept an eye on Liang Youjie's movements, not because she liked him, but because she wanted to see when he would be in trouble.
So after Liang Youjie got into trouble, Su Mei came back and, after finding out what happened, decided to "kick him when he's down".
After saying all this, Xi Quan said, "So Su Mei found me through Liang Youjie, hoping to cooperate with me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing suddenly realized, could it be that the person he saw chatting with Xi Quan in the coffee shop was Su Mei?!
If it really is Su Mei, I'm glad I didn't ask for the seat, otherwise I would have looked too petty.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing suddenly felt a little relieved that she hadn't asked Xi Quan. However, even though she hadn't asked, she was still a little embarrassed. Ye Qing asked Xi Quan, "Isn't Su Mei Su Zhe's younger brother? Why didn't she ask Su Zhe for your contact information after she came back?"
Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing and said, "Su Zhe is, after all, Quan Zhen's son. He has no memory of his biological father. Although he is indeed dissatisfied with Quan Zhen now, it doesn't mean he will join Su Mei in sending Quan Zhen to prison."
That's right, Ye Qing overlooked that point.
Although she guessed that the woman having coffee with Xi Quan was probably Su Mei, and although she was glad she hadn't asked before, Ye Qing felt that she could be open about it now. After all, keeping it in her heart for too long would create a rift. She also wanted to remind Xi Quan to tell her things in a timely manner, otherwise, if the two of them were always guessing each other, it would eventually lead to a rift between them.
"So it was Su Mei who called you that night?" Ye Qing asked. "If it was her, you could have told me."
Upon hearing her question, Xi Quan suddenly realized something: "You were angry that day because of that phone call, weren't you?"
Ye Qing was a little embarrassed, but her expression suggested that she had tacitly agreed.
Xi Quan patted his forehead in regret, thinking that he had really been careless.
"I'll remember that from now on. I'll tell you everything I can."
Ye Qing thought this was fine; it was all out in the open: "Does Su Zhe know that Su Mei is back?"
“I’m not quite sure. Actually, the two siblings aren’t very familiar with each other. Su Zhe grew up by Quan Zhen’s side,” Xi Quan said. “In fact, what I’m most worried about right now is Su Zhe. Although he knows what kind of person Quan Zhen is, it would still be a heavy blow to Su Zhe if Quan Zhen were to have no chance of turning things around.”
That's true, but Ye Qing couldn't express his opinion on these matters. After all, it's impossible to truly empathize with someone who hasn't experienced it himself.
Ye Qing could understand Xi Quan and Su Mei's desire to seek revenge on Quan Zhen.
Ye Qing could understand Su Zhe's feelings for Quan Zhen.
It's hard to say anyway.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about these things. I'll handle it." Xi Quan couldn't help but speak up when he saw Ye Qing's worried expression.
Ye Qing knew, of course, that Xi Quan could handle these matters; she was thinking about something else: "When will Liang Youjie's case go to trial?"
"Do you want to go listen?" Xi Quan asked Ye Qing.
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Qing nodded.
"You don't trust Liang Youjie?" Xi Quan's voice turned cold.
Hearing this, Ye Qing was furious. If it were before, she could have let it go if Xi Quan said that, but now he didn't believe her? Putting aside whether she liked him or not, she already knew what kind of scum Liang Youjie was. If she still had any other feelings for Liang Youjie, how blind would she be?
Ye Qing wanted to listen in, but only because she wanted to know what Liang Youjie had done to Xi Quan, and what Xi Quan had gone through during the years she was gone. Right now, she only knew the general outline and didn't know the specifics.
Now, Ye Qing can only learn about the pain Xi Quan went through in those years through this method.
Ye Qing was a little upset that Xi Quan would ask her that, and deliberately said, "Yes, I still care about Liang Youjie, is that alright? Are you satisfied now?"
After saying that, Ye Qing lifted the covers and was about to get out of bed, but Xi Quan grabbed her and pulled her back.
"Ye Qing, you're getting bolder and bolder, aren't you!" Xi Quan said through gritted teeth.
