"Her daughter?" Xi Quan narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you say you didn't know?"
"I..." Yang Xiujuan was afraid when she saw Xi Quan's sharp gaze. After all, this was Nancheng, Xi Quan's territory, not Xiaoyao Village. Yang Xiujuan really didn't dare to offend Xi Quan. Instead, she had to try to please him. So she told him everything:
"At first I really didn't know, but before Aunt Zhang came to your house, I knew where the previous family lived. Although I only knew the general location, it wasn't difficult to find out if I asked around the area whenever I had time."
Because I knew who the family she worked for was before, I went there again a few days ago to try my luck and ran into the family she worked for. The elderly couple seemed to be very educated and familiar with me, so I asked them a few questions. Who knew that their daughter was actually a celebrity.
As I told you, I genuinely didn't know at first that the girl was Aunt Zhang's biological daughter. When I went to your house to look for her that time, I was just bluffing her, and that's when I realized that the girl was her biological daughter.
Since she's my daughter, and a celebrity at that, I figured she must be rich. So I tried asking her for money. Who knew she'd be so easy to talk to? She gave it to me right away, and quite a lot at that. I guess she was trying to shut me up, but judging from her expression, she didn't seem to care even if I told anyone. So I tried asking again, and she gave it to me again, and even said…”
Xi Quan narrowed his eyes: "What else did you say?"
"She also told me to make her background known to everyone," Yang Xiujuan said.
Xi Quan frowned, not expecting Huang Fei to pull such a move. He asked Yang Xiujuan, "You said it?"
Yang Xiujuan denied it: "How could I be so stupid? Although the child was abandoned by his own mother, and people would scold Zhang Sao if it were said, I just felt that there was something strange about this. Who would let someone else tell the truth when they encountered such a thing?"
It has to be said that Yang Xiujuan's words really make sense; Huang Fei actually thought of taking the initiative to reveal his background.
Thinking back on what he already knew, Xi Quan could understand why Huang Fei would do such a thing.
Xi Quan doesn't care as long as he reveals it voluntarily and it doesn't implicate Ye Qing.
But if it gets out, Ye Qing will definitely find out.
This matter can no longer be kept secret. Although Xi Quan does not want Ye Qing to know, he did not intend to keep it from Ye Qing forever. Ye Qing will find out sooner or later.
Xi Quan thought that Ye Qing would know after giving birth, since she was currently pregnant and had previously shown signs of miscarriage, so Xi Quan dared not gamble.
What annoyed Xi Quan even more was that Huang Fei was quite cunning.
To achieve his own goals, he actually made Yang Xiujuan reveal her background.
Yang Xiujuan is not young anymore. The older she gets, the more she knows what it's like to have a mentally challenged son. So, although she is still greedy, compared to before, Yang Xiujuan will not be reckless and disregard everything.
When she was younger, she had some money and could take care of her son. Now that she has no money and her son is not doing well, she worries about what will happen to him if something happens to her. So now Yang Xiujuan only cares about money and doesn't get involved in any messy things.
So before this, she hadn't planned to tell anyone; she just wanted to keep Huang Fei hanging. Now that Xi Quan knew, Yang Xiujuan felt it was best to appease Xi Quan first. Seeing that Xi Quan hadn't said anything, Yang Xiujuan couldn't help but ask, "So, do you think I should tell anyone? If I do, Aunt Zhang will probably be even less willing to work as a nanny in your house. When is Ye Qing going to give birth? If you tell anyone, you'd better hurry up and find a nanny."
“Finding a nanny isn’t that easy.” Xi Quan glanced at Yang Xiujuan and said indifferently, “Although these messy things have nothing to do with me, they involve Aunt Zhang, so they affect me to some extent. So… you can put it off until I find a new and suitable nanny.”
Yang Xiujuan was overjoyed to hear this: "I know, I know, dragging this out will allow me to continue asking that girl for money."
Xi Quan initially thought dragging it out was fine, but upon hearing Yang Xiujuan's words, he couldn't help but turn back again. "You'd better take it easy. Although I don't know why Huang Fei wants you to reveal her background, you've been asking her for money time and time again, but you haven't done what she wants you to do. What if she gets angry and reveals her background herself? What if she calls the police and accuses you of extortion? You'll have no recourse then."
Yang Xiujuan was stunned for a moment: "Really?"
“Of course you can. If you don’t believe me, ask someone who knows about these things,” Xi Quan said.
In fact, it would have been better if Huang Fei had actually accused Yang Xiujuan of extortion, since Yang Xiujuan's demand for money from Huang Fei was indeed extortion. But the real concern was that Huang Fei might not have been.
When Yang Xiujuan heard Xi Quan say that, she started to mutter to herself. She counted the money she had and thought that she should listen to Xi Quan. She felt that Xi Quan had no reason to lie to her.
Moreover, the son of the patient Yang Xiujuan is currently treating is said to be a lawyer who visits the patient every week. Judging from the timing, he should be coming to see the patient tomorrow if nothing unexpected happens. Yang Xiujuan is thinking of asking him about it when the time comes.
"I understand."
Seeing Yang Xiujuan say this, Xi Quan didn't say anything more, presumably because Yang Xiujuan understood the seriousness of the matter.
After learning what was going on with Yang Xiujuan, Xi Quan was temporarily less worried about her. However, he still didn't know what Huang Fei really meant. If she had done something, it would be much harder to keep it from Ye Qing.
All the way there, Xi Quan kept thinking about what to do now: should he tell Ye Qing, or should he stick to his original plan and not tell Ye Qing?
Even after getting home, Xi Quan still hadn't decided whether or not to tell anyone.
Xu Xiaoyue hadn't left yet. Ye Qing saw Xi Quan return and remained calm, but Xu Xiaoyue's expression was not good.
Ye Qing thought that Xu Xiaoyue had been with him for so long, so he decided to let Xu Xiaoyue stay at home for dinner.
Xu Xiaoyue left after finishing her meal.
Ye Qing and Xi Quan saw Xu Xiaoyue off and took a walk. After seeing Xu Xiaoyue off, Xi Quan asked Ye Qing, "What's wrong with Xu Xiaoyue? From the time I came back until we had dinner just now, she hasn't given me a kind look."
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing countered Xi Quan's question: "Does it matter whether Xiaoyue gives you a nice look or not?"
These words left Xi Quan speechless. Xi Quan said, "I don't care about Xu Xiaoyue's attitude. What I care about is you. Is she standing up for you?"
"What did you do that made her stand up for me?" Ye Qing's tone couldn't help but become a little sharp.
