Ye Qing was hesitating whether to tell Xi Quan, but now that Xi Quan had asked, Ye Qing wouldn't lie to him. So after thinking for a moment, she told Xi Quan the truth: "Su Zhe came to talk to me about something today."
This was indeed a bit unexpected for Xi Quan, but considering that Su Zhe had also come to see him yesterday and seemed hesitant to speak, Xi Quan's surprise wasn't as strong when he heard Ye Qing say this. He even guessed why Su Zhe had come to see Ye Qing: "Is it because you know Su Mei is back and are worried that Quan Zhen's past actions can no longer be hidden?"
"You know!" Ye Qing was very surprised that Xi Quan had guessed it, but then she thought about it again. Su Zhe had said a lot in his opening remarks, including how he recognized Su Mei.
Ye Qing nodded again: "Yes, he said he asked you before he confirmed that what he saw was Su Mei."
Now that Xi Quan knows, Ye Qing's previous worries are no longer a concern. She said, "Su Zhe thinks that since Quan Zhen is already like that, perhaps some things can... not be pursued anymore."
Xi Quan was not surprised by this. When Su Mei returned, Ye Qing asked him if he should tell Su Zhe that his half-sister had returned. Xi Quan said no at the time, saying that Su Zhe was not as obedient to Quan Zhen as before, but in the end, he was raised by Quan Zhen and still had feelings for her.
It now seems that Xi Quan really understands Su Zhe very well.
However, while Ye Qing wasn't worried that Xi Quan would feel betrayed after learning of Su Zhe's attitude, Ye Qing was worried about something else: "Will Su Zhe think of helping Quan Zhen and do something excessive?"
He wasn't familiar with Su Mei, so if he did something really outrageous, it would likely be aimed at Xi Quan. Therefore, Ye Qing was a little worried.
Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing, "No, although Su Zhe still has some lingering feelings for Quan Zhen, he won't do anything. I've been observing him for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't have asked him to help keep an eye on Xin Xin and Ran Ran in the first place."
That makes sense when you think about it.
"Did Quan Zhen contact you too?"
Ye Qing was caught off guard by Xi Quan's question and didn't react at first.
After a long pause, he realized what Xi Quan had said, nodded, and asked, "How did you know?"
"Doesn't she have a caregiver who takes care of her?" Xi Quan asked casually.
Ye Qing knew about this when she went with Xi Quan last time, but what surprised Ye Qing was: "But wasn't that caregiver supposed to be someone your grandfather hired to take care of her?"
Xi Quan didn't say anything, but he looked at Ye Qing, though his gaze held a lot of meaning.
Ye Qing suddenly realized that the person who appeared to be sent by Xi Quan's maternal grandfather was actually one of Xi Quan's men.
Considering how big Xi Quan's business has become, how he was able to start a new company right under his grandfather's nose, and how the business is thriving, it's enough to know Xi Quan's capabilities.
Ye Qing felt honored to have such a shrewd and capable man as her husband.
She couldn't help but walk over to Xi Quan and hug him.
Xi Quan gently patted Ye Qing, who was hugging him, and then distanced himself from Ye Qing: "Don't provoke me."
Ye Qing paused for a moment, then realized what Xi Quan was talking about. She playfully punched Xi Quan with her fist, saying, "What are you thinking about all day?"
"I miss you," Xi Quan replied readily.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing felt as if a newly discovered spring had sprung up in her heart, filling her with warmth.
Ye Qing glanced at Xi Quan sheepishly and said, "Smooth talker."
Although he was making a fuss, Ye Qing's eyes were filled with a smile, but behind that smile lay a different kind of emotion.
Xi Quan hoped that Ye Qing would take the initiative to hug him, because in their relationship, Xi Quan was the one who took the initiative, while Ye Qing was the one who was passive.
However, although Xi Quan hoped that Ye Qing could take the initiative, they were two people who understood each other perfectly. Xi Quan saw the unspoken words hidden behind the smile in Ye Qing's eyes, and asked, "Besides Su Zhe and Quan Zhen looking for you today, is there anything else?"
Because Ye Qing herself hadn't thought it through yet, she was a little reluctant to talk about it. When she heard Xi Quan ask her this, Ye Qing said, "Isn't the matter that Quan Zhen and Su Zhe came to me a big deal? But it seems like you don't care much about it? You seem a little indifferent?"
Xi Quan finally put down his game console and turned to look at Ye Qing: "I'm not indifferent. In fact, I know why Quan Zhen and Su Zhe are looking for you."
Although I hate it when they bother you, I'm also a little happy because everyone knows you hold a high place in my heart, so they ask you to act as a go-between.
I didn't say much because I knew you wouldn't try to persuade me like they did, and also because the matter they brought up with you is within my grasp. Liang Youjie's case is about to go to trial, and it's a public prosecution case. Su Mei has also told the prosecutor what she knows, so there are some things that even Liang Youjie can't hide from you anymore. Quan Zhen coming to you is just a desperate measure.
That makes sense, but since we're on the topic, Ye Qing couldn't help but ask, "Didn't your grandfather contact you? He must be worried too. He's not worried about Liang Youjie, but rather that Liang Youjie's sentencing has made the already dire situation of the company even worse."
“I did look for him, but what could I do? I refused. If he insists on being stubborn, then no one will take care of him in his old age.”
The company became insolvent due to Liang Youjie's actions. My grandfather, who is so old, needs to mortgage the house he lives in now to pay off the debts, so he has no choice but to listen to me now.
Furthermore, he didn't have much affection for Liang Youjie. His previous request for me not to oppose Liang Youjie was for the company's sake. Now that he knows the situation is beyond repair, he won't waste any more effort.
After saying all this, Xi Quan shared his assessment of his grandfather: "He is a very realistic person, so he has nothing to worry about. In fact, Su Zhe and Liang Youjie's mother completely inherited his personality."
Ye Qing doesn't object to supporting the elderly. She's currently taking care of her own grandfather, and it's normal for Xi Quan's maternal grandfather to support him as well, as long as he doesn't make things difficult for Xi Quan.
After saying all that, Ye Qing forgot what she had been thinking, but Xi Quan remembered it. He asked Ye Qing, "Were you thinking about my grandfather just now?"
"Huh?" Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then said after realizing what was happening, "No, Xiaoyue and Liu Yuliang are getting married, did you know?"
Xi Quan shook his head. He really didn't know, but since Ye Qing had brought it up, what she was thinking about must be related to this matter.
