Ye Qing waited for Ye Shuang in the office, even prepared to argue with her. However, as soon as Ye Shuang entered, she looked at Ye Qing anxiously, with even a pleading look in her eyes.
This surprised Ye Qing.
Although she didn't like Ye Shuang, seeing Ye Shuang's expression, Ye Qing didn't think of making sarcastic remarks. She just wanted to know the truth about what was wrong with Ye Shuang.
However, before Ye Qing could even ask, Ye Shuang spoke up first: "Ye Qing, what exactly are you planning to do about Yang Zi's situation?"
Looking at Ye Shuang, Ye Qing asked, "What do you mean, what should we do?"
"Ugh...you..." Ye Shuang found Ye Qing's attitude a bit annoying and was about to retort when she suddenly remembered something. Ye Shuang moved slightly towards the sofa where Ye Qing was sitting and said, "You don't know about Yang Zi's matter, do you? When you told me that day, were you just trying to trick me?"
Ye Qing blinked, glanced at Ye Shuang casually, and said, "What good would it do me to lie to you? Besides, putting everything else aside, just tell me, did what I said to you that day help you? If I hadn't said anything to you that day, would you still be thinking about how to get Yang Zi to change her mind and agree to your marriage with her son?"
Although Ye Shuang did not answer Ye Qing's question, in fact, Ye Shuang did not say anything at all, Ye Qing could tell from her expression that Ye Shuang was somewhat relieved.
Since you're relieved, Ye Qing thought she could continue: "Judging from your expression, you feel incredibly fortunate. So let me ask you, do you still want to marry Yang Zi's son?"
"Of course not, Yang Zi is a fraudster. She hasn't even paid off her debts yet. If I marry her son, what if those debts fall on my shoulders? I can pay them off myself..." After hearing Ye Qing's words, Ye Shuang blurted out what she knew without thinking. But halfway through her sentence, Ye Shuang realized what she had said and swallowed the rest of her words.
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow imperceptibly. She had heard Xi Quan mention what Yang Zi had done with that fake dress, but Xi Quan hadn't told Ye Qing the specifics. However, judging from Ye Shuang's tone, it seemed that she knew.
So, shouldn't we use this incident to bring down Yang Zi?!
Although Ye Qing didn't know how much Xi Quan knew about Yang Zi's affairs, nor did she know if Xi Quan had made any preparations regarding Yang Zi's situation.
However, Ye Qing thought it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to know a little bit, in case Xi Quan didn't know, he could tell him.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing asked Ye Shuang, "You're really amazing now. You've found out about Yang Zi in just a few days."
Perhaps realizing she had been too hasty, Ye Shuang didn't get smug when Ye Qing praised her. Instead, she calmed down and said, "Ye Qing, are you using me to scheme against Yang Zi? And judging from your tone, you probably don't know exactly what Yang Zi did and want to find out from me, right?"
"You've gotten smarter," Ye Qing thought. "And Ye Shuang's demeanor seemed to be negotiating with me. I wasn't angry, but I wouldn't tell Ye Shuang the truth either. 'I can also tell you something else. Yang Zi came to see me a couple of days ago and said she'd agree to your marriage with her son. What do you think is the reason? Does she like you? Does she not want to be the villain who breaks up a couple?'"
This surprised Ye Shuang greatly. Yang Zi had agreed again?
Previously, Ye Qing had hinted to Ye Shuang that Yang Zi might be in trouble, and Ye Shuang believed it. Now that Ye Qing is saying the same thing again, Ye Shuang can't say she doesn't believe Ye Qing, but she feels more and more that Ye Qing is still trying to use her.
Just like Ye Qing's feelings towards her, Ye Shuang also disliked Ye Qing, but she felt that if she could cooperate with Ye Shuang to satisfy some of her own interests, it wouldn't be impossible.
Therefore, regarding Ye Qing's question about Yang Zi's marriage to her, Ye Shuang felt that Ye Qing was more likely using it as leverage to negotiate with her, and it was also very likely a way to trick her.
So Ye Shuang said, "Ye Qing, it's pointless to repeat the same thing over and over again. It's not as easy to make people believe it as the first time you say it. I actually knew that Yang Zi didn't really agree with my marriage to her son from the beginning."
When I approached you, besides wanting to see you in a difficult position regarding the wedding dress, which was causing your conflict with Yang Zi to escalate, I also wanted to use reporters to get Yang Zi's approval of my relationship with her son, because I previously thought Yang Zi was a person who cared a lot about her image.
But who knew that she would deny the marriage in front of reporters? To be honest, I was surprised, but thinking about it, it wasn't so surprising after all.
Then I felt mostly angry. I was angry that you won again, and that I made a fool of myself in front of you. So now you really don't need to keep bringing up my marriage to Yang Zi's son.
Ye Qing was surprised to hear these words from Ye Shuang. She used to think that Ye Shuang wasn't that smart, but now she seemed to see things quite clearly.
However, Ye Qing didn't care about Ye Shuang's situation. She said, "I have no reason to lie to you."
"You..." Ye Shuang was speechless. "Ye Qing, we were indeed at odds before, but I know what I can and cannot argue with you about. I'm telling you this because I really want to cooperate with you. I really don't want to be Yang Zi's scapegoat, so you don't need to keep testing me with my marriage to Yang Zi's son."
What Ye Shuang meant was that even if Yang Zi agreed to her marriage with her son, Ye Shuang would not turn back.
Ye Qing naturally understood what Ye Shuang meant.
However, Ye Shuang misunderstood Ye Qing's meaning. Ye Qing meant that Yang Zi was trying to use Ye Shuang, so she hoped that Ye Shuang would tell her everything she knew.
However, it was clear that Ye Shuang still wanted to negotiate the terms with Ye Qing first before revealing what she knew.
Although the two had slightly different ideas, they were going to cooperate anyway, so Ye Qing didn't immediately correct Ye Shuang's meaning. Instead, she was thinking about how to talk to Ye Shuang.
Just as Ye Qing was about to speak to Ye Shuang, Ye Shuang's pager went off. After glancing at the message, Ye Shuang paused for a moment. Remembering what Ye Qing had just said, Ye Shuang subconsciously looked at Ye Qing: "Yang Zi left me a message, asking me to call her back to discuss marrying her son."
Hearing Ye Shuang say this, Ye Qing's previous thoughts were all nullified, and she became even less anxious, waiting to see what Yang Zi really meant.
Ye Shuang stared at the pager for a long time, then stood up, wanting to use Ye Qing's office phone to call Yang Zi back. However, Ye Qing refused her: "Yang Zi knows my phone number. She's asking you to call back. Are you sure her phone doesn't have caller ID?"
