Although Xi Quan felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Sao's observation, since Ye Qing had spoken up, he thought it best to continue observing.
Moreover, Ye Qing is pregnant now, so Xi Quan would never object to her pregnancy. Ye Qing's bad mood is bad for her health, and if her bad mood affects her health, the baby is a small matter, but Ye Qing will suffer.
So Xi Quan reassured Ye Qing: "Don't worry, let's observe further. Besides, when we invited Aunt Zhang to our house, we considered some potential problems. After all, she and Yang Xiujuan are sisters-in-law. So if the abnormality you observed is because of Yang Xiujuan, I think it's alright. Yang Xiujuan probably wants money, and we can just give her some. Anything that can be solved with money isn't a big deal."
Xi Quan's words were meant to reassure Ye Qing, but they also highlighted a possible scenario. While it seemed to increase Ye Qing's worries, he was actually giving her a heads-up so that she wouldn't be upset should something really happen to Sister-in-law Zhang.
Ye Qing hired Zhang Sao as her nanny to repay a debt of gratitude for the warmth Zhang Sao had given her in Xiaoyao Village years ago.
Although Ye Qing also felt that it wasn't a good idea to have Zhang Sao come to their home, given the relationship between Zhang Sao and Yang Xiujuan, Ye Qing still insisted on doing so.
If Aunt Zhang really had ulterior motives, Xi Quan knew Ye Qing would feel guilty and think that she should have just not insisted on using Aunt Zhang in the first place.
So Xi Quan is giving Ye Qing a heads-up, so she can be mentally prepared.
After listening to Xi Quan's words, Ye Qing was indeed not as preoccupied as she had seemed before. Thinking about it, what Xi Quan said made sense, because upon closer reflection, it was just those kinds of things.
It's just a matter of money, nothing more.
It's not that Ye Qing and his group particularly want to show off their wealth, but rather, as the saying goes, money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it.
Therefore, sometimes when dealing with greedy people, problems that money can solve are not really problems.
After figuring this out, Ye Qing went to sleep.
Although Xi Quan mostly reassured Ye Qing and told him not to worry, after taking the two children to school and Ye Qing to work the next day, Xi Quan made a special trip back, pretending that he had forgotten to take something.
It was to test whether Aunt Zhang acted strangely when they weren't home.
However, before she even got home, just as she reached the entrance of the residential area, she saw Mrs. Zhang, who was on her way to buy groceries, being chased and pestered by someone...
Xi Quan wasn't in a hurry to go home, so he parked his car far away at the entrance of the residential area.
Looking at Aunt Zhang and the man who was pestering her.
In fact, Xi Quan was no stranger to the person who was bothering Zhang Sao. It was the same person he had used to appease Ye Qing the day before, Yang Xiujuan from Xiaoyao Village, who had previously come to them to apply for a nanny position, and was also Zhang Sao's sister-in-law.
Because they were so far apart, Xi Quan didn't hear a thing they said.
However, judging from her appearance, Aunt Zhang didn't seem to really want to talk to Yang Xiujuan. The two of them were pulling and tugging at each other, and in the end, Aunt Zhang carried her shopping basket into the community.
Because this is a villa area, Yang Xiujuan was stopped outside.
She seemed to be muttering something under her breath, and then stood on tiptoe at the entrance of the residential complex to peek inside. It looked like she had no other choice but to leave.
After Yang Xiujuan left, Xi Quan started the car and drove into the residential area.
When Xi Quan arrived home and parked his car, he entered the living room and saw Aunt Zhang sitting on the sofa in a daze. Next to her was the basket she had been carrying earlier, which was empty. It seemed that she had run into Yang Xiujuan before she even went to buy groceries.
If Xi Quan had heard Ye Qing's words yesterday, he might have wondered if Ye Qing was being overly sensitive and overthinking things because of her pregnancy.
However, Xi Quan no longer thinks that way, because he parked his car outside and the house should have been able to hear the noise. Even if he couldn't hear anything, he was already inside, about to pass by Aunt Zhang and go upstairs, but she was still in a daze.
This inevitably makes people think more.
Xi Quan had been observing Zhang Sao, so he didn't call her. In the end, it was Zhang Sao who noticed Xi Quan. Or rather, she didn't notice Xi Quan at first; she just sensed someone was there. However, she jumped, clearly feeling a sense of relief and fear after finally realizing what was happening. She looked over in a bit of panic, and when she saw it was Xi Quan, Zhang Sao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly composed herself, and greeted Xi Quan: "Aren't you going to work today?"
"I was in a hurry and forgot something." Xi Quan also withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and pretended to be nonchalant.
Hearing Xi Quan say that, Aunt Zhang didn't ask any more questions. Seeing the basket still at her feet, she seemed to remember something, quickly bent down and picked it up, as if talking to herself, or as if saying to Xi Quan, "I'm going to buy groceries."
Xi Quan didn't say anything when he heard this, but he nodded to Zhang Sao the moment her gaze fell on him.
After that, Aunt Zhang went out, and Xi Quan went upstairs.
Xi Quan didn't really have anything to take back, but he still had to put on an act. After going upstairs, he stood in front of the study window and looked at Zhang Sao.
No one called her anymore. Aunt Zhang seemed no different from usual, but perhaps because he had seen Aunt Zhang and Yang Xiujuan arguing at the entrance of the community earlier, Xi Quan felt that Aunt Zhang's back looked like she was preoccupied.
So Xi Quan kept staring at Zhang Sao's back until she was out of sight. Then he turned around, picked up the office phone, and called his assistant, asking him to check what Yang Xiujuan had been up to lately.
The assistant even subconsciously asked, "Who is Yang Xiujuan?"
Xi Quan said, "It was the nanny you initially chose, but my wife and I turned her down."
Although Xi Quan's tone was unusually calm, it startled the assistant on the other end of the phone, who quickly agreed.
Please don't let anything go wrong because of this, otherwise the assistant will feel that all the ten thousand right things they've done for the boss have been for nothing.
Ye Qing has arrived at Qingye Studio and is unaware of these matters for the time being.
Xi Quan didn't intend to tell Ye Qing either. If something really happened to Zhang Sao, considering Ye Qing's feelings, Xi Quan would consider whether or not to tell Ye Qing, or maybe he wouldn't tell Ye Qing anything at all.
However, Ye Qing wasn't really thinking about Zhang Sao's matter right now. He had already talked about it with Xi Quan yesterday, and he hadn't thought about it any further.
Moreover, as soon as she arrived at work today, she received a phone call that made Ye Qing very excited, and she is now waiting for the person to arrive.
She felt that since the other party had placed such great trust in her, she must not betray that trust. She even had a general idea in mind and wanted to know what the general outline should be.
