Before Xi Quan could ask Yang Xiujuan what exactly happened, Zhang Sao arrived home.
When Ye Qing saw Zhang Sao return, she greeted her, "You're back? Who was looking for you?"
Ye Qing asked this question very casually. To be honest, Ye Qing didn't really care whether Aunt Zhang said it or not, because Xi Quan was out and would tell her when he came back.
However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Sao became extremely nervous when it was just a casual greeting.
This made Ye Qing curious: "What's wrong? Who's looking for you?"
"Nobody..." Aunt Zhang avoided looking at Ye Qing with her eyes darting away. "I'm just grabbing some things to take out in a bit."
No one was taking anything out to deliver later. This contradiction in the situation puzzled Ye Qing, so she wanted to find out. However, she was pregnant now, and her movements were a bit clumsy than before. So she was a little slow to stand up from the sofa. By the time she stood up, Aunt Zhang had already gone into her room and closed the door.
Ye Qing felt a little helpless, so he sat down again.
But after thinking about it, Ye Qing felt that she should still ask clearly. After all, Aunt Zhang worked at home and also had to pick up two children. If she was so absent-minded, what if something happened to her when she picked up the children?
However, just as Ye Qing was about to stand up to ask for clarification, Xi Quan returned.
Ye Qing was unaware that Aunt Zhang had already seen Xi Quan, so fearing that Aunt Zhang might have overheard, Ye Qing mouthed to Xi Quan, "How is it?"
Just as Xi Quan was about to speak, he saw that the door to Zhang Sao's room on the first floor was slightly ajar. Xi Quan said, "It's nothing. It's just that Zhang Sao's family came to visit her before. You know, some relatives are very difficult to get along with."
Hearing Xi Quan's words, Aunt Zhang at the door breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt even more embarrassed.
After calming himself down, Xi Quan came out of the house and pretended to see Ye Qing. He winked at Ye Qing, signaling her to stop talking.
Ye Qing understood the meaning behind Xi Quan's expression, so she didn't ask any further questions.
When Ye Qing wasn't looking, Xi Quan gave Zhang Sao a deep look. Zhang Sao understood what Xi Quan meant and hoped that if Ye Qing asked about it later, she would say that she looked preoccupied because of her family.
Although Zhang Sao understood Xi Quan's expression, she didn't understand what he meant, which was what made her uneasy.
After Zhang Sao left, Ye Qing pressed Xi Quan again, "What happened? What do Zhang Sao's family want with her?"
Xi Quan said in a tone that he didn't really want to talk about it: "Think about it, it's obvious. Most of the disputes between relatives are about money."
Thinking about it, Ye Qing realized that what he said made sense, so he didn't ask any further questions.
The next day, after Xi Quan dropped Ye Qing off at work, he didn't go directly to the company. Instead, he went to the sanatorium first and finished asking the questions he hadn't finished asking Grandpa Ye during his last visit.
After asking the questions, Xi Quan was about to return to the company when he received a call from his assistant.
The assistant told Xi Quan that since Yang Xiujuan came to Nancheng, she had been working as a part-time cleaner, but even then, few people hired her because they thought she had problems with her work.
As for the employer of Zhang Sao, whom Xi Quan asked him to investigate temporarily, before she came to Xi Quan's house, that was also found.
Xi Quan asked, "Who is it?"
"I can hardly believe it, he's actually a celebrity, an actor, who was famous before."
Hearing his assistant's exaggerated voice, Xi Quan roughly understood why Aunt Zhang was so afraid that Yang Xiujuan would go to her daughter. However, Xi Quan didn't care about that. He asked his assistant, "Who exactly is it?"
Upon hearing the name mentioned by his assistant, Xi Quan paused for a moment. To be honest, he didn't recognize the name, or rather, he had no recollection of the person, because he never paid attention to anything in the entertainment industry. However, just as his assistant said, this person had been famous before, and even though Xi Quan didn't follow the industry, he had heard of the name.
After a moment of silence, Xi Quan said, "I understand."
Xi Quan originally planned to go back to the company, but after hanging up the phone, thinking about what Yang Xiujuan had said, the name he had asked Grandpa Ye for, and what his assistant had told him, Xi Quan paused for a moment, didn't go to the company, turned the steering wheel, and went straight home.
Only Aunt Zhang was home. She looked like she had just finished cleaning. She wasn't too surprised to see Xi Quan come back. She just asked him a question casually and then went back to doing other things.
Xi Quan sat on the sofa for a while, then called out to Aunt Zhang, who was still busy: "Don't bother for now, I have a few words I'd like to say to you."
Originally, Zhang Sao wasn't surprised that Xi Quan came back before the end of the workday. However, when she heard Xi Quan's rambling, Zhang Sao was stunned and instantly became nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhang Sao's helpless look, Xi Quan looked away and said calmly, "Yang Xiujuan told me a lot of things yesterday."
Upon hearing Xi Quan's words, the rag that Zhang Sao was holding fell to the ground. Although it wasn't dirty and didn't hit anything, this small action revealed something.
Xi Quan glanced at Zhang Sao: "Logically speaking, what Yang Xiujuan said is your private matter and has nothing to do with us. Although it is a bit annoying that Yang Xiujuan keeps coming to us, after all, Ye Qing and I have some grudges against Yang Xiujuan, but your nervousness is a bit hard to understand. Are you afraid that Ye Qing and I will not let you work in our house? Or are you afraid of something else?"
“You and Ye Qing gave me a lot of money, so I was afraid you'd think I was making a fuss, so I…”
Before Aunt Zhang could finish speaking, Xi Quan interrupted her: "In your heart, Ye Qing is just someone who gives you money, right? According to Yang Xiujuan, I checked your previous employer, and he was not bad either. He was an actress or something, and his finances weren't bad. Wouldn't it have been better for you to work there? Why did you quit? Is it because you're afraid Yang Xiujuan will cause trouble? Aren't you afraid Yang Xiujuan will come and cause trouble for us?"
Xi Quan's few words left Zhang Sao speechless, and she even felt a little nervous, her eyes starting to redden.
Seeing Zhang Sao like this, Xi Quan didn't soften his heart. Anyway, he came back today to find out the truth behind Ye Qing's back. Just as he was about to continue asking, the phone rang at home, and Xi Quan answered it without thinking.
"Xi Quan, are you home?" Ye Qing called and was a little surprised to hear that Xi Quan answered the phone.
"Yeah, I came back to get something. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I keep forgetting things," Xi Quan said, quickly regaining his composure.
Ye Qing didn't notice anything amiss: "I also forgot something at home. I was originally thinking of asking Aunt Zhang to bring it to me, but since you're home, why don't you make the extra trip and bring it to me?"
"Okay, no problem. What is it?"
After Xi Quan finished asking his question, he was stunned by what Ye Qing said.
