After the call connected, Ye Qing asked Xi Quan, "Where are you now? Come pick me up and take me home?"
Xi Quan glanced at Huang Fei sitting in front of him and said, "Now? I have something to do outside, you may have to wait a while."
Outside, thinking about Ye Shuang's words, Ye Qing realized that Xi Quan hadn't lied to her after all. She asked, "What are you doing outside? Are you busy? How long will it take?"
"Meeting with clients should be quick, it mainly depends on how well the discussion goes."
You can't say Xi Quan lied to her, after all, Ye Shuang saw Xi Quan a while ago, and Xi Quan might have separated from Huang Fei. So Ye Qing didn't ask any more questions, said she would wait for him to pick her up, and then hung up the phone.
Xu Xiaoyue was right next to him, so she vaguely heard the phone call. She asked Ye Qing, "Huang Fei is gone?"
Ye Qing shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't ask."
Although Xu Xiaoyue felt very guilty towards Ye Qing, seeing that Ye Qing was a little unsettled, Xu Xiaoyue didn't want to complain or feel guilty anymore, because that would only make Ye Qing overthink things.
Since Xu Xiaoyue had nothing else to do, she stayed there to keep Ye Qing company while Xi Quan came to pick her up.
Xi Quan put down his phone, looked at Huang Fei sitting in front of him, and said in a cold tone, "Ms. Huang, you've been sitting here for so long. Just say what you have to say. As you can see, I have to pick up my wife in a little while. I don't have time to waste here with you."
Huang Fei hadn't figured out what to say, so she had been awkwardly rambling on with Xi Quan. She had overheard a bit of Xi Quan's phone call earlier and knew that he was in a hurry to leave.
I was thinking of just letting it go and not saying anything, but then I realized that if I didn't say anything, I would keep thinking about it. So I hesitated for a moment and said, "Is the nanny who works in your house surnamed Zhang?"
To be honest, Xi Quan was quite surprised when the receptionist at the company told him that Huang Fei wanted to see him.
Xi Quan couldn't quite guess what Huang Fei might want to talk to him about, but considering Huang Fei's status, he still came.
But thinking that talking to Huang Fei at the company would be too conspicuous, I came to the coffee shop instead.
Hearing Huang Fei mention Zhang Sao was both expected and unexpected for Xi Quan.
As expected, the conversation turned to Aunt Zhang, since they had no other topics to discuss besides her. What was unexpected was that, judging from Aunt Zhang's attitude and Huang Fei's earlier probing, Xi Quan believed that she was unaware of Ye Qing's or Aunt Zhang's relationship with her.
Now you know?
However, despite having this question, Xi Quan didn't say anything proactively while Huang Fei remained silent. He simply answered Huang Fei's question: "Yes, Aunt Zhang."
“She used to work at my parents’ house,” Huang Fei said, glancing at Xi Quan.
Xi Quan nodded: "I know. Although the housekeeping company won't leak information, we encountered some problems when we were looking for a nanny before, so I investigated Aunt Zhang and found out that she used to work at your house."
These are all normal questions, and Huang Fei found it difficult to speak again.
As I said before, Xi Quan didn't have time to waste with her, so seeing Huang Fei's conflicted attitude, Xi Quan said directly, "I'll say it again, just ask what you want to say, I have to rush to pick up my wife."
"Last time at Ye Qing's studio, you probed about my background. How did you know, Mr. Xi? Or should I ask, are you aware of my relationship with Aunt Zhang?"
Huang Fei asked Aunt Zhang a question, and Xi Quan roughly knew what she wanted to ask. So when he heard Huang Fei say this, Xi Quan wasn't very surprised. He calmly asked in return, "You're asking me? Isn't this about your background?"
"I... I know it's not appropriate to ask you, but I overheard my parents, or rather, my adoptive parents, saying that I only found out that Aunt Zhang is my biological mother. I already knew that my current parents were my adoptive parents, and they were very good to me. I don't have any demands on my biological parents anymore, since they didn't want me back then."
But these past two days, someone came to me claiming to know who my biological mother is, and even said I'm a celebrity. They threatened to tell everyone if I didn't give them money. I'm not afraid of them telling anyone, but thinking about what I overheard my adoptive parents saying, I think Ye Qing might…
So I was afraid that the person who was looking for me would come looking for you again, so I thought I'd tell you... Before, I mentioned that I had a strange sense of closeness to Ye Qing, and now it seems..."
Xi Quan had been frowning the whole time. He thought Huang Fei knew nothing, but he didn't expect that Huang Fei actually knew now.
Not only did she find out, but someone also threatened her.
Xi Quan quickly interrupted Huang Fei's reflections on his relationship with Ye Qing, asking, "Who threatened you?"
"I don't think that's important. I've already paid the money. I'm just worried they'll bother you. Also, there's Ye Qing. Isn't she pregnant now? I..."
“You may think it’s unimportant, but it’s important to me and Ye Qing. You don’t know the whole story, so you have no right to judge what’s important and what’s unimportant for others.” Xi Quan was extremely cold and stern. Huang Fei’s concern for Ye Qing was understandable and touching; this was probably what was meant by blood ties.
However, Xi Quan felt that Huang Fei was being a bit arrogant.
Huang Fei didn't know Xi Quan. She meant well, but she didn't expect Xi Quan to be so angry. She was stunned for a moment and said, "I think his surname is Yang or something. I didn't ask for details."
Hearing this, Xi Quan roughly knew who it was. He picked up his phone, stood up, and walked out. After taking a few steps, he remembered something, turned back, and said to Huang Fei:
"Have you guessed about your relationship with Ye Qing? This is something no one else can control. But Huang Fei, some things are best kept to yourself. Don't think that saying everything is a good thing."
After all, although you and Ye Qing were both abandoned, your upbringing was completely different, like heaven and earth. You may be able to accept some things calmly, but that doesn't mean others can accept them calmly.
Especially given Ye Qing's pregnancy, no matter what you know, don't say a word in front of Ye Qing, and don't show any of that so-called natural warmth you feel when you're with her.
Huang Fei opened his mouth as if to explain, but then felt that Xi Quan's words made sense, so he swallowed his words.
However, because Huang Fei didn't know the whole story, he thought that Xi Quan was so angry because he had told Ye Qing that Xi Quan had gone to see his ex-wife Xu Ying.
After holding back for a long time, Huang Fei finally explained again: "Do you think I shouldn't have told Ye Qing that you met your ex-wife?"
Xi Quan remained noncommittal: "That's just your arrogance. I told you you don't know the whole story. Don't assume things. Don't talk too much in front of Ye Qing, otherwise I'll know a lot about you too. I won't keep your secret just because I think you have a relationship with Ye Qing."
