Yang Zi had planned to dampen Ye Qing's spirits, but she hadn't figured out how to do it yet.
Although she hadn't figured out what to do yet, Yang Zi was unwilling to remain silent. Although she was reluctant to show her hostility towards Ye Qing, she had to admit that Ye Qing had already sensed her hostility.
If that's the case, then sometimes there's no need to say anything hypocritical.
With a hint of mockery, "Ye Qing, you're still too young," Yang Zi slowly spoke: "Indeed, you didn't promise me anything. You wanted to use my words to teach Ye Shuang a lesson, and you succeeded. To be honest, I don't like Ye Shuang either. Being used by you is fine with me. But Ye Qing, do you think I'm such an easy person to use?"
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow, as if asking Yang Zi what she meant by that.
Yang Zi smiled gently: "I've lived to be this old, and I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice."
"So what?" Ye Qing interrupted Yang Zi, not wanting to hear her act like she was old and condescending.
"So I was used by you, but you won't have it easy either." Yang Zi seemed very confident.
At first, Ye Qing didn't understand what Yang Zi meant, but after thinking about it for a moment, she understood: "Are you trying to say that because you denied the news that your son was going to marry Ye Shuang in front of the reporters today, Ye Shuang will blame it all on me?"
Although Yang Zi didn't say anything, her attitude said it all.
Ye Qing laughed: "President Yang, you've heard the saying, 'When you have too many lice, you don't itch; when you have too many debts, you don't worry.' So whether Ye Shuang blames everything on me or not, I really don't care that much. After all, if you hadn't said this today and had responded to the reporters according to what I said, it would still have been like slapping Ye Shuang in the face. Ye Shuang would have blamed everything on me anyway. So I really don't care. Anyway, Ye Shuang has disliked me for a long time."
Yang Zi's expression froze because of Ye Qing's words. It was true, Ye Shuang's purpose was clearly to sow discord. No matter what, she would never think well of Ye Qing.
Looking at Yang Zi, Ye Qing seemed to think he hadn't poked enough at her. He stared at Yang Zi for a moment and then slowly said, "President Yang, to be honest, when you told me earlier that you also liked that embroidered dress, I really didn't have any reason to doubt it."
It's just that good things are liked by everyone, and since they're all in the clothing industry, it's normal.
Although you didn't like me before, and even secretly plotted against me, it was all done secretly. On the surface, we were still on good terms.
But now you're not even maintaining this superficial harmony anymore? For Ye Shuang's sake? You yourself don't believe that, do you? Then there's only one possibility.
Hearing Ye Qing say this, Yang Zi suddenly became much more nervous, but she still tried her best to remain calm: "What?"
"There's another possibility: if that embroidered dress isn't handled properly, it could ruin your reputation. Are we right?"
Ye Qing's calm and collected words struck Yang Zi like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. She narrowed her eyes and asked Ye Qing warily, "What do you know?"
Without answering Yang Zi's question, Ye Qing simply smiled at Yang Zi, but the scrutinizing meaning in that smile was quite obvious.
To be honest, Ye Qing said that to trick Yang Zi; all she knew was what Li Yeming had told her.
Although Yang Zi's actions were questionable, Ye Qing felt that what Li Yeming said was alright. The reason Ye Qing chose to cooperate with Li Yeming was that he could see Yang Zi's obsession with that dress from what Li Yeming said.
So perhaps he could expose Yang Zi's weakness and thus resolve the issue between himself and Yang Zi once and for all.
However, seeing Yang Zi's wary attitude now, Ye Qing felt that her words had come true by accident.
The truth about that garment is probably far more complex than what Li Yeming described.
It must be very serious.
Having figured this out, Ye Qing calmed down considerably when looking at the nervous Yang Zi: "I don't know anything, but if you continue with this attitude, even though I don't know, I'll start to wonder if there's something going on."
As you know, people are naturally curious. Once they become curious, they want to know what's going on. So once my curiosity is piqued, I'll investigate what's happening myself.
So, Mr. Yang, do you think your secret can still be kept?
So, Mr. Yang, before you're certain you can get that dress, please don't do this anymore. We'd better maintain appearances of harmony, otherwise I'm really afraid I might accidentally uncover something."
"You..." Yang Zi was so angry that she wanted to slap Ye Qing to death, but seeing Ye Qing's calm and composed appearance, Yang Zi was not sure what Ye Qing knew. She knew that she could not act rashly, so she clenched her hands tightly and tried her best to control her emotions. In the end, she did not say a word and turned to leave.
Watching Yang Zi's retreating figure, Ye Qing blinked. It seemed that Yang Zi really did have many secrets.
Taking the initiative feels great.
The phone in her handbag rang. It was Xi Quan calling, asking if Ye Qing was ready. He said he was waiting outside to pick her up.
Ye Qing walked out while talking on the phone with Xi Quan.
After coming out, Ye Qing found Xi Quan's car. As soon as she got in, she saw Xi Quan staring at something. She waved her hand in front of Xi Quan.
Xi Quan snapped out of his reverie, glanced at Ye Qing, sighed softly, and then took off his coat to drape over Ye Qing's shoulders. It was clearly a considerate gesture, but Xi Quan spoke through gritted teeth: "Before we came, I told you that while wearing a formal dress is basic etiquette for this kind of occasion, you need to know that you're pregnant now. Is it really okay for you to be dressed so lightly?!"
Because she was pregnant, Ye Qing chose relatively conservative clothes for herself, mainly strapless and bustier styles!
Because her tummy wasn't showing yet, the skirt was straight.
And it's not short either.
Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan was actually a little jealous. Although she found his jealousy inexplicable, she was still quite pleased. However, she didn't show it. Instead, she pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Can't I look pretty just because I'm pregnant?!"
Xi Quan stared at Ye Qing for a long time, truly...
"Who says you can't be beautiful when you're pregnant? And Ye Qing, don't you have any self-awareness at all?" Xi Quan said through gritted teeth.
Ye Qing blinked, still feigning grievance: "What? You're saying I lack self-awareness?"
