Xi Quan turned to look at the old man: "Are you ready to speak? If you are, I hope you can say it all at once, instead of squeezing it out like toothpaste. Although I don't like threatening people, if you force me to threaten people, then I can only reluctantly comply."
The old man was so angry at Xi Quan's words that he was panting heavily, but there was nothing he could do.
"Tell me, tell me."
Hearing the old man's irritable voice, Xi Quan turned around and went back to his ward, sitting in the sofa where he had been sitting.
"Shu Wei wanted Ye Qing to have a transplant surgery and conducted several tests, so there's no doubt that Ye Qing is Shu Wei's child. But the biological mother isn't Xu Daye... After thinking about it, there's only one possibility."
"What?" Xi Quan asked.
Grandpa Ye looked at Xi Quan and said, "Shu Wei was actually married once before. He didn't mention the child when he divorced. I think Shu Wei probably didn't know he had a child at the time. Later, Shu Wei's ex-wife never came to us, so I forgot about it. Now that I think about it, if Ye Qing really is Shu Wei's child, then there is only this possibility."
“If that’s the case, what’s wrong with saying it? And if that’s the case, even if you don’t know there’s a child, it’s still considered a legitimate child. It’s better than revealing the background that Ye Qingyuan originally thought he had.” Xi Quan didn’t understand Old Master Ye’s attitude at all.
"Oh dear, back then..." Old Master Ye began, then sighed, "Back then, Shu Wei's ex-wife's family had a bad political background. You know how it was in those days. Later, we heard that Shu Wei's ex-wife's family had a Ming Dynasty or sometime-old antique painting and calligraphy. The young soldiers went to look for it, but they couldn't find it. Later, Shu Wei found out about it by chance and told the young soldiers. Of course, they found the painting, but Shu Wei's ex-wife's father was so angry that he died, and the two of them divorced because of it."
Xi Quan stared at Old Master Ye for a long time, "That's it?"
"That's how it is, what else can we do?" Although Old Master Ye's words sounded like they were full of energy, his eyes were actually daring not to look at Xi Quan.
His expression clearly showed there was something else he couldn't say, so Xi Quan didn't press him further and stood up to leave again.
Seeing Xi Quan's attitude, Old Master Ye said, "Hey, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xi Quan glanced at Old Master Ye and gave him a look that said, "Go ahead and say it."
"The divorce can't be said to be entirely due to this incident, although it was related. But the real trigger for their divorce was that Shuwei thought his ex-wife was seeing someone else, and therefore he assumed it was because of the children..."
"The child?" Xi Quan asked, interrupting Old Master Ye, "Didn't you say you didn't know about the pregnancy when you got divorced?"
Grandpa Ye swallowed hard, saying nothing, but his expression said it all.
Ye Shuwei felt guilty for killing his former father-in-law. When he saw his ex-wife getting close to someone else, he slandered her and angrily divorced her, as if he were the victim.
If Ye Shuwei hasn't been with anyone else besides this, then Ye Qing's biological mother might be Ye Shuwei's ex-wife.
Regardless of her background, Ye Shuwei is such a scumbag that there's nothing more to say about her.
Xi Quan was originally wondering whether he should tell Ye Qing if he really learned about Ye Qing's background from Old Master Ye, but now it seems better not to.
After all, Ye Shuwei was practically inhuman. It's fortunate he's dead. Otherwise, if Xi Quan didn't know he had such a father-in-law, he might not have been able to control himself and beat him for Ye Qing's sake.
"What a joke," Xi Quan sneered, asking, "So where is Ye Shuwei's ex-wife now?"
"How would I know? We haven't been in contact since the divorce. Back then, she was also a sent-down youth. She and Shuwei got married secretly, without telling their families. After what happened, who would keep in touch? It's so awkward, isn't it?"
Xi Quan thought to himself, "So you know how awkward it is!"
Although what Grandpa Ye said was infuriating, it made sense. After all, things had turned out so badly back then, and they probably wouldn't be in contact anymore. And if Grandpa Ye wasn't lying, then Ye Qing's biological mother should be Ye Shuwei's ex-wife.
Since his ex-wife gave birth to twins and he didn't want them, he naturally wouldn't have any more contact with the Ye family.
"You must know that person's name, right?"
"My name is Zhang..." Before the old man could finish speaking, a voice came from the ward door: "Hey, what are you doing standing here? Are you here to visit? Which room's family member are you in?"
The voice was clearly coming from outside Grandpa Ye's hospital room. Grandpa Ye didn't continue speaking. Xi Quan went to the door, opened it, and was extremely surprised to see Ye Qing standing outside. Thinking about what he and Grandpa Ye had just said, Xi Quan turned around and looked at Ye Qing, then asked, "Why are you here?"
Ye Qing didn't say anything, glanced at Xi Quan, and turned to leave. Seeing this, Xi Quan quickly chased after Ye Qing.
Since Grandpa Ye had also seen Ye Qing, he wasn't surprised that Xi Quan left immediately.
After catching up with Ye Qing, Xi Quan looked at her worriedly: "You...did you hear that?"
Ye Qing turned to look at Xi Quan and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
After saying that, Ye Qing added, "You should be happy. We're so in sync that we both thought of asking him what really happened back then."
Xi Quan pulled Ye Qing into his arms, saying, "Stop laughing."
Ye Qing hugged Xi Quan and said, "I'm okay, really. I was mentally prepared before I came, so now that I know everything, I can't say I'm not sad, but it's really okay. After all, I had no choice but to have such a biological father, right? I can't choose who my biological parents are. I just need to live my life well. I have you, Ranran and Xinxin, and the baby in my belly. I'm fine now, and there's no need to make myself unhappy because of the past."
That's what they said, but Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing was actually feeling bad inside, otherwise she wouldn't have said so much, it felt like she was trying to cover it up.
Her tone was less directed at Xi Quan and more at convincing herself.
At this moment, Xi Quan knew that nothing he said would help, so he could only hold Ye Qing tightly and offer her silent comfort.
After returning home, Ye Qing seemed to be in a good mood, but Xi Quan could tell that Ye Qing had taken to heart what Grandpa Ye had said.
Just as Xi Quan was thinking about how to comfort Ye Qing again, the security guard called, saying that someone at the entrance of the community kept asking to see their nanny.
Xi Quan hung up the phone and told Zhang Sao to go and take a look.
However, Aunt Zhang seemed very reluctant to go, and even a little scared. Xi Quan noticed this, and Ye Qing noticed it even more. Remembering Aunt Zhang's unusual behavior before, she said, "I'll go and see."
Xi Quan remembered Yang Xiujuan, whom he had seen at the door last time, and quickly grabbed Ye Qing: "I'll go."
