Chapter 399 Why Add to Your Troubles?



Ye Qing didn't have any dresses that needed to be made in a hurry, and because of the news, she really couldn't stay any longer, so she prepared to leave work and go find Xi Quan.

I'd like to ask how the investigation Xi Quan conducted regarding Huang Fei is progressing.

However, when they arrived at Xi Quan's company, they were told that Xi Quan had already left and was not at the company. When asked if he would come back, Xi Quan's assistant did not know, because Xi Quan did not say anything when he left.

However, the assistant said that he probably wouldn't be coming back because there wasn't much going on at the company.

Ye Qing wasn't disappointed that he didn't see Xi Quan. After all, Xi Quan was the boss. While sitting in the office to work was his job, as the boss, his job was more than just sitting in the office.

In the past, Ye Qing would not have shown any emotion at all, calmly accepting that Xi Quan would no longer return to the company and then leave.

But now, because of the news, Ye Qing really wanted to talk to someone because she felt so uneasy.

This unease stemmed from seeing Yang Xiujuan.

To outsiders, Ye Qing's unease seemed to stem from excessive speculation, yet such speculation appeared rather far-fetched.

However, Ye Qing not only didn't find it far-fetched, but her unease grew stronger.

She really wanted to find a quiet place to be alone and sort out her chaotic feelings caused by a news story.

But when she looked down at her belly, she realized that although it was still some time before she gave birth, Ye Qing knew she couldn't be too self-centered and willful. If something went wrong, it would be too late to regret it.

So he hailed a taxi and went straight home.

When they arrived at their doorstep, they saw Xi Quan's car parked outside.

Ye Qing was puzzled as to why Xi Quan hadn't come to pick her up since he was back, or even just called her first.

Although she was puzzled, it didn't affect anything. Because of her pregnancy and the fact that her months were getting longer, Ye Qing's walking became clumsy and slow.

However, because he wanted to see Xi Quan as soon as possible, Ye Qing unconsciously walked much faster than usual.

However, just as she opened the door and stood in the entryway to change her shoes, she heard Xi Quan and Zhang Sao's voices inside.

Aunt Zhang: "What do we do now?"

Compared to Zhang Sao's panic, Xi Quan was extremely indifferent: "What do you mean, what should we do?"

"Huang Fei's background has been revealed, thanks to Yang Xiujuan. What if..."

Before Aunt Zhang could finish speaking, Xi Quan interrupted her: "What if what? The news is out, but it's just about Huang Fei's background. What are you afraid of?"

To be honest, when Xi Quan first saw the news, he was also very surprised, and just like Mrs. Zhang now, he was very flustered.

However, after Xi Quan slowly finished reading the news, he was not so worried anymore, because the news did not show any connection with Ye Qing.

Knowing about Huang Fei's relationship issues, Xi Quan felt that Huang Fei was no simple person. He had actually taken the initiative, so even if his relationship was exposed in the future, he wouldn't be criticized too much.

More importantly, Xi Quan never expected that what he said to Yang Xiujuan that day would come true.

At the time, Xi Quan told Yang Xiujuan to take it easy and not be too greedy. If she was too greedy, Huang Fei would sue her for extortion if she pushed people too far.

Unexpectedly, Huang Fei actually did it.

Or perhaps Huang Fei had this in mind from the beginning, which is why Yang Xiujuan said that Huang Fei gave her the money without any hesitation, and even thought that Yang Xiujuan would take the initiative to tell her about her background.

It seems that Huang Fei must have thought this through back then.

Xi Quan sighed again, thinking that Huang Fei was indeed a cunning person.

Looking at Xi Quan's nonchalant demeanor, Aunt Zhang was still a little worried: "That's true, but... does Huang Fei know that I'm her biological mother?"

"What can you do if you know, and what can you do if you don't? You don't really think Huang Fei will still acknowledge you, do you?" Xi Quan mocked.

If Huang Fei is doing this to pave the way for her future relationship to be exposed, then knowing who her biological mother is is not important at all. What is important is that people know that her current parents are actually her adoptive parents.

So far, Huang Fei has achieved his goal.

Therefore, Xi Quan did not explicitly tell Huang Fei that Huang Fei actually knew Zhang Sao's identity.

It wasn't that Xi Quan was deliberately hiding it. Xi Quan just felt that according to the current news, Ye Qing shouldn't be able to guess his background. Since he wouldn't guess, there was no need to let Aunt Zhang know so much. If Aunt Zhang found out, and couldn't control her emotions, it would be troublesome if Ye Qing found out.

However, for Mrs. Zhang, although she knew she shouldn't expect the children to acknowledge her, after all, regardless of her own difficulties back then, not raising the children herself and giving them to others was something that was unforgivable.

But knowing something is one thing, and feeling it is another.

Having lived most of my life, it would be a lie to say I don't want to hear my child call me "mother."

In the past, the window paper was always tightly covered, so Aunt Zhang could bear it.

But now that the window paper has been torn, it has involuntarily rekindled people's hope.

“I didn’t say I wanted Huang Fei to acknowledge me, I just felt…” Aunt Zhang was only halfway through her sentence when the door connecting the entrance hall and the living room was pushed open.

Ye Qing walked into the house expressionlessly.

Upon seeing Ye Qing, both Xi Quan and Aunt Zhang were extremely nervous, especially Aunt Zhang, whose hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Ye Qing gave Aunt Zhang a cold glance before looking away.

Sometimes, Ye Qing deeply resented her intuition, her terrifying intuition.

Although Xi Quan wasn't as nervous as Zhang Sao, he was still very worried because Ye Qing was too calm.

"Ye Qing..."

Hearing Xi Quan's worried voice, Ye Qing glanced at Xi Quan indifferently, feeling extremely angry that Xi Quan had known all along but kept it from her.

But Ye Qing also knew that Xi Quan was doing it for her own good. However, even though she knew this, the feeling of being kept in the dark was still terrible.

Ye Qing then glanced at Xi Quan coldly and asked, "What is it?"

"I..." Xi Quan wanted to say that nothing was wrong, but Ye Qing's expression clearly showed that something was wrong, and if he said nothing was wrong, it would obviously make Ye Qing even angrier.

Ye Qing's attitude suggested that he had overheard what Zhang Sao and he should talk to Ye Qing about what had happened.

However, Ye Qing's attitude left Xi Quan unsure of how to begin.

Seeing Xi Quan stammering and not saying anything, Ye Qing was angry, but she also knew that even if Xi Quan spoke, she might not want to hear it.

Since he already knew the truth about some things, knowing the result was enough; Ye Qing really didn't want to know the cause and effect.

Knowing all the causes and consequences is completely useless and only adds to your troubles, so why bother!
