Li Yeming said, "To say it's not difficult at all would be a lie, but my difficulty isn't that Xiaoyue can't wear it, it's..."
Xu Xiaoyue was a very perceptive person. Seeing that Li Yeming kept glancing in her direction while he was talking, she knew that there were some things Li Yeming didn't want her to know, so she said, "You two chat first, I'll go outside and take a look."
Although Ye Qing might eventually tell Xu Xiaoyue what happened, at least for now, when Li Yeming doesn't want her to know, Xu Xiaoyue won't think that just because she has a good relationship with Ye Qing, she has to stay and listen to something.
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words, Ye Qing nodded. After Xu Xiaoyue left, Ye Qing looked at Li Yeming and said, "Sister Li, just tell me what's on your mind."
Ye Qing could tell from Li Yeming's attitude that Xu Xiaoyue probably wouldn't be able to wear the dress Li Yeming mentioned, because Li Yeming seemed to be just telling her that she had a dress that was inconvenient to take out, but it seemed like he was just trying to bring up that dress.
Moreover, Ye Qing guessed that the clothes were probably related to Yang Zi.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing suddenly didn't want to listen anymore.
She didn't want to get involved in the feud between Li Yeming and Yang Zi, because Ye Qing herself might be facing trouble now, and Yang Zi's previous attitude had already explained everything.
"Actually, that dress has something to do with Yang Zi." Li Yeming said this opening remark after a long silence.
This was pretty much what Ye Qing had guessed. Now that Li Yeming had spoken, even if Ye Qing didn't want to listen, it wasn't a good time for him to leave.
"What happened?" Ye Qing asked, following Li Yeming's words.
Li Yeming looked at Ye Qing: "The embroidery on that dress was done stitch by stitch by my father. The dress I told you about was made by my father himself during the period of public-private partnership... Back then, such clothes were still acceptable."
Later... many things became complicated during the movement because the modified cheongsam my father made was relatively short and was considered a feudal, revisionist, and capitalist item.
At that time, many families who were relatively well-off owned cheongsams. If people found out, it wouldn't matter much if they cut up or destroyed those cheongsams.
But the dress my father made, because it had embroidery on it, and it was Suzhou embroidery, all hand-stitched by hand, he couldn't bear to destroy it, but he didn't show it off either. But later people still found out about it..."
At this point, Li Yeming paused, a hint of sadness in his voice.
Ye Qing probably guessed what would happen next: "It was Yang Zi who told everyone, so they all knew about your father's clothes."
“Although it was indeed Yang Zi who said it, strictly speaking, we can’t blame Yang Zi. Yang Zi’s family had a bad class background at that time, and her father was also criticized. Her father was on the verge of death, but those people still wouldn’t let him go. In order to save her father, she said it. Although I was angry at the time, my father forgave Yang Zi. Although Yang Zi and I did break up because of this dress, it wasn’t because of this incident,” Li Yeming said.
Ye Qing felt that she was having a hard time listening to Li Yeming, so why didn't he just finish speaking?
But Li Yeming didn't say, so Ye Qing could only ask himself, "Then what is the reason?"
"After the movement ended and my father passed away, Yang Zi said she wanted to auction off that dress as start-up capital. I refused because I didn't want to give up traditional clothing. But Yang Zi wanted to make money because my father said that dress was for the two of us. So Yang Zi auctioned it off, and the money from the auction became the start-up capital for her Taizi Fashion. The problem now is that she doesn't know that I bought the dress back. If Xiaoyue wears it now, it's like telling Yang Zi that I bought it back. So for Yang Zi, all the things she felt sorry for me and apologized to me before were a waste of her feelings."
Ye Qing agreed with these words. Yang Zi's personality would make her think that way, just as she felt that she had taken possession of the fashion brand she founded, Zitai.
What Ye Qing didn't understand was, "Sister Li, forgive me for being blunt, but since this dress has such a history, you didn't need to let Xiaoyue and me know about its existence. If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known anything. Now you're worried that Yang Zi will have something to say if she finds out about this, but at the same time you're letting us know about the dress. It's obvious that you want to use Xiaoyue and me."
Li Yeming never thought he could hide anything from Ye Qing after he told her, so when he heard Ye Qing say this, Li Yeming nodded: "That's right, I'm using you because I haven't figured out how to do this. At the same time, in order to promote traditional clothing design, I want to bring out this garment. I hope you can help me think of what to do."
Ye Qing was still angry, but after hearing Li Yeming's words, she couldn't vent her anger anymore, as Li Yeming had raised her too high.
"Sister Li, I feel bad about what you're saying, and I'm not as amazing as you make me out to be," Ye Qing said.
Li Yeming said, "Actually, I know I shouldn't tell you these old stories, but Ye Qing, although I may not be as good at business as you, I've lived to be this old, and I can see some things."
Yang Zi was unhappy that Jinlai sponsored the model competition, even though she didn't say it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have participated in the recording of the finals. She participated in the recording of the finals because she wanted to stand out, but she was disappointed.
And why you resigned from Zitai Fashion, I think it's probably related to her too. You've been trying your best to avoid trouble, but she doesn't think that just because you've avoided it, she'll stop bothering you.
So in this respect, we're in the same situation; Yang Zi sees us as a thorn in her side. Instead of passively guarding against her, we should take the initiative and force her to make the first move. I've thought about it for a long time, and this is the only thing that can make her anxious to act.
It has to be said that Li Yeming's words made a lot of sense, but Ye Qing was still not very happy.
If something goes wrong, they'll all be pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
"Sister Li, to be honest, I agree with everything you said because it fits Yang Zi's personality. But I... I still think it's not very useful for you to tell me this. After all, this dress is a secret between you and Yang Zi. If I find out, it's like telling Yang Zi that we've teamed up to make things difficult for her."
Ye Qing felt that Yang Zi used to deal with him and Li Yeming separately, but now that she knew that his connection with Li Yeming had become closer, she would definitely concentrate her firepower.
