Aunt Zhang had many thoughts in her mind, but since Ye Qing knew nothing about it, she really couldn't ask. Besides, she knew Ye Qing was very clever, and what if Ye Qing figured it out and stopped letting her work at her house?
Aunt Zhang wasn't worried about not making money. Over the years, she had saved up some money, so not working for a while wouldn't be a big deal. Her main concern was Ye Qing, who was pregnant. If she left, and they couldn't find a suitable caregiver, Aunt Zhang would be overwhelmed.
"Aunt Zhang." Ye Qing had no idea what Aunt Zhang was thinking. Not only did she not hear Aunt Zhang ask her anything, but she also seemed to have a lot on her mind. The more Ye Qing looked at her, the more she felt that Aunt Zhang must have something on her mind.
It wasn't that Ye Qing was being nosy and insisted on asking; it was mainly because Zhang Sao's gaze was making people very uncomfortable.
Seeing Ye Qing's somewhat impatient expression, Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is the Huang Fei you were talking about before the one who acts in TV dramas?"
Ye Qing was taken aback, not expecting that Aunt Zhang would ask this. As for disappointment or loss, Ye Qing didn't feel that way.
I felt something was off, and paused for a moment: "Didn't you just say you didn't know him?"
Aunt Zhang panicked for a moment. She had indeed said that earlier. She hadn't thought there was anything wrong with what she said before, but when she compared it with what she was asking Ye Qing now, the difference became apparent.
However, having been surprised and flustered several times before, Aunt Zhang is now slowly adjusting her emotions when faced with this situation. She lowers her head and pretends to continue wiping the table, then quickly thinks for a moment and says, "I really don't know him. Just now, when I was wiping the table, I heard the voice on the TV and remembered an actor named Huang Fei in a TV series I watched before. I was just curious to ask if he was the same person you were talking about with Xi Quan earlier."
What Aunt Zhang said seemed perfectly reasonable, but Ye Qing had a strange feeling, a gut feeling, that this was just Aunt Zhang's excuse.
But Ye Qing couldn't quite explain why, so she didn't delve into it and nodded: "Although I don't know which TV series you're talking about, Huang Fei, whom I mentioned, is also an actor."
"That's really true." Aunt Zhang pretended to be a little curious and asked Ye Qing, "So, do you get along well with Huang Fei?"
When Aunt Zhang asked about Huang Fei, Ye Qing already found it surprising enough. Now, she was being asked how she was getting along with Huang Fei.
This made Ye Qing feel increasingly confused.
She was changing channels with the remote when she heard Zhang Sao's words. Ye Qing stopped changing channels, looked away from the TV, and said to Zhang Sao, "She's my client. I make clothes for her, and she pays me. Our relationship doesn't matter, okay?"
From Ye Qing's perspective, the answer was fine, but Aunt Zhang was a little disappointed. However, even though she was disappointed, she couldn't say anything. "Yes, I was a bit abrupt in asking the question."
Ye Qing glanced at Aunt Zhang but didn't say anything. Although he was puzzled by Aunt Zhang's attitude, he couldn't explain why.
Just then, Xi Quan came downstairs, so Ye Qing put down the remote control and went for a walk in the neighborhood with him.
"What are you thinking about?" Xi Quan noticed that Ye Qing was unusually quiet, unlike her usual talkative self when they took walks together. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you still thinking about Xu Ying's parents?"
"Huh?" Ye Qing paused for a moment and shook his head: "No, I was thinking about Aunt Zhang's attitude."
Ye Qing's words made Xi Quan even more flustered, even more so than when Ye Qing was thinking about Xu Daye. After all, Xu Daye was easy to deal with, as long as the money was enough. Xi Quan was not short of money, so he didn't think it was a big deal.
Moreover, Ye Qing didn't have any feelings for Xu Daye, so she wasn't very worried.
But Aunt Zhang...
Composing himself, Xi Quan instinctively asked, "What's wrong with Aunt Zhang?"
Ye Qing then recounted what Zhang Sao had asked him about Huang Fei.
After hearing this, Xi Quan said, "Perhaps Mrs. Zhang is just curious about getting so close to a celebrity."
"That makes sense, but I still have this feeling I can't quite put my finger on," Ye Qing said, sounding quite puzzled.
"You're probably overthinking things because of your pregnancy. Don't let your mind wander like that." Xi Quan hoped this would stop Ye Qing from thinking about it.
Seeing Xi Quan's worried expression, Ye Qing shook her head and said, "I don't want to think about it anymore."
Although Xi Quan was still a little uneasy about Ye Qing's statement that she didn't want to, he didn't press the matter further. After all, regardless of whether Ye Qing really didn't want to, if he pressed her for details, the topic would inevitably continue.
Xi Quan readily changed the subject.
Although Ye Qing found Zhang Sao's attitude inexplicable, she was, after all, an independent working woman with a lot of work to do every day. Once she got busy, she would temporarily forget about Zhang Sao.
Moreover, Ye Qing still hasn't figured out the details of Yang Xiujuan's shares. He's been keeping it in mind, and only when he fully understands the situation will he be able to relax.
Fortunately, Ye Shuang's side was also very supportive.
Although neither of them had contacted each other since Ye Qing took the initiative to talk to Ye Shuang about Yang Zi's house, Ye Qing was thinking of calling Ye Shuang again to ask.
But she was also afraid that if she made the call, Ye Shuang would see that she was very anxious and then she would put on airs again. After all, she had been arguing with Ye Shuang for so many years, and Ye Shuang was not the kind of person that people could completely trust.
So Ye Qing hesitated about whether or not to make the call. Just as she was hesitating, Yang Zi took the initiative to come to Ye Qing again.
Seeing that Yang Zi was still unwilling, Ye Qing knew that the shareholding deal was almost finalized.
Having had previous encounters, Yang Zi no longer bothered to haggle with Ye Qing. She asked directly, "Ye Qing, can you get a higher price for the shares?"
"If you could have offered a higher price, I wouldn't have quoted you one million in the first place. Given our relationship, I would definitely have given you a higher price, Mr. Yang," Ye Qing said very politely.
Seeing Yang Zi's disdainful look, Ye Qing didn't care. After all, her words were just for show, and she didn't intend for Yang Zi to believe them.
"Are you buying these shares or the board of directors?" Yang Zi asked.
"Is there a difference?" Ye Qing asked Yang Zi in return.
“Of course there is a difference,” Yang Zi said.
In fact, Ye Qing also understood Yang Zi's meaning. If Xi Quan were to buy it, then Xi Quan would have a monopoly on Zitai Fashion. Although the combined shares of the other shareholders did not exceed half, Yang Zi could still get them to make things difficult for Xi Quan. After all, Xi Quan was a complete novice when it came to Zitai Fashion's shares!
