Upon hearing what Xi Quan said, Aunt Zhang subconsciously replied, "Ye Qing and Huang Fei are both my children, I wouldn't forget their birthdays."
Xi Quan deliberately pointed out when Ye Qing's birthday was to stop Zhang Sao from continuing the topic and to subtly remind her of what she, Ye Qing, and Huang Fei had missed in the past.
But who knew that Aunt Zhang would actually argue with Xi Quan.
Ye Qing chuckled, thinking that anyone who didn't know better would think that Aunt Zhang was pretending to be innocent.
Hearing Ye Qing's soft laughter, Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized something. Ye Qing and Huang Fei did not grow up by her side. They grew up in other people's homes. How could they still be born according to their original birthdays?
Besides, how could they possibly know Ye Qing and Huang Fei's birthdays?!
She lowered her head quickly and embarrassedly, not daring to look at Ye Qing again.
Ye Qing really didn't want to talk, but Zhang Sao's words made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Although she didn't say she would accept or forgive Zhang Sao, she thought that Zhang Sao was still her biological mother and was getting old, so she decided to just let it go.
But Aunt Zhang always seems to forget what she did in the past.
Ye Qing couldn't hold back any longer and said calmly, "You used to work as a nanny at Huang Fei's house. Didn't anyone in their family celebrate Huang Fei's birthday? Didn't you know it was Huang Fei's birthday that day?"
"I..." Aunt Zhang was taken aback by the question, then stammered, "They don't celebrate Huang Fei's birthday."
"Really? It's clear that their family is somewhat distant from Huang Fei. Don't you have any thoughts about that?" Ye Qing knew that she was in a very bad mood at the moment, but there was nothing she could do. She and Huang Fei had done nothing wrong, but they still had to bear everything that their biological mother had brought them.
Sometimes Ye Qing even wondered, if she didn't want them, why did she give birth to them in the first place?
But asking these questions now is not very meaningful, since the damage has already been done and cannot be repaired.
So even though Ye Qing was still very angry, she didn't continue to question him. But because she was still angry, she couldn't help but say, "Huang Fei is a celebrity. Her birth date is mentioned in some newspapers or interviews. I don't remember the exact date, but it's definitely not now."
After saying that, without paying attention to Zhang Sao's expression, Ye Qing lowered his head and ate his rice. After a few bites, Ye Qing couldn't help but say again, "Anyway, neither my birthday nor Huang Fei's birthday is a few days away, as you said. It's fine to have Huang Fei come over for dinner, but it's already past our birthdays, so forget it."
When Zhang Sao heard Ye Qing say this, she thought it would be fine to simply invite Huang Fei over for dinner. However, seeing that Ye Qing's expression wasn't very good, Zhang Sao didn't dare to say anything and just nodded silently.
Ye Qing was in a pretty good mood before eating, but now he really felt that the food had no taste.
Xi Quan glanced helplessly at Zhang Sao, thinking to himself, "This woman is not young anymore, so why does she always seem to have no idea how to speak?"
Although Aunt Zhang's words did make Ye Qing feel very uncomfortable, this bad mood did not last long. After all, Ye Qing is now gradually learning to let go of his background. It's not that he forgives it, but that he no longer takes it so seriously. After all, if you take some things too seriously, you will only end up hurting yourself.
Because of her confusion about Huang Yu's attitude, and because Ye Qing and Xi Quan had analyzed some possible reasons, Ye Qing, who was currently unemployed, was particularly eager to figure this out. Originally, Ye Qing was even thinking of finding an excuse to go to Ye Shuang and test the relationship between Ye Shuang and Huang Yu.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Shuang called Ye Qing again the next day, still wanting to talk to Ye Qing.
Although Ye Shuang was still talking about cooperation, Ye Qing did not refuse, but this time she did not ask Ye Shuang to come to her house.
Although Aunt Zhang said she wouldn't eavesdrop anymore, Ye Qing decided to let it go just in case.
After all, it was Guan Huangfei's responsibility; if Aunt Zhang overheard this, it would be troublesome.
"When I called you, I was thinking, what if you don't come?" Ye Qing and Ye Shuang arranged to meet at their studio.
Ye Shuang arrived earlier than Ye Qing. When Ye Qing arrived at the office and saw Ye Shuang, before she could even speak, Ye Shuang expressed her apprehension.
On the way here, Ye Qing was still thinking about how to tell Ye Shuang.
If she has a good relationship with Ye Shuang, although it's a topic that's not easy to talk about, they're both women, so she can just ask directly.
However, she and Ye Shuang did not have a good relationship.
Now, hearing Ye Shuang's words and knowing that Ye Shuang was very uneasy, Ye Qing roughly knew how to ask.
"I'm flattered by what you're saying. You're being so humble now. It used to be so rare to hear you speak like this," Ye Qing said to Ye Shuang in a friendly tone.
Ye Shuang said calmly, "People change."
Nodding, Ye Qing followed up on Ye Shuang's words: "Indeed, before this I thought you would hold on tightly to Huang Yu, because it is obvious that Huang Yu is better than Yang Zi's son. He is capable and does not need to rely on others, and he also has money."
"That's what I thought at first too." Ye Shuang chuckled self-deprecatingly. "But sometimes, you have to face reality. I thought I was being so good, but when it comes to men, I don't think I'm incapable, but Huang Yu..."
With a soft sigh, Ye Shuang didn't continue.
Ye Qing didn't press further: "Actually, it's nothing. Anyway, he's supposedly got quite a few girlfriends. If they don't break up, he might face even more trouble."
Ye Shuang smiled after hearing Ye Qing's words, and after a long while, she said, "That's all what other people think."
Raising an eyebrow at Ye Shuang, Ye Qing keenly sensed that Ye Shuang's words had a hidden meaning. Before she could ask, Ye Shuang continued, "Anyway, Huang Yu isn't as casual as he seems. Also, I really don't know why he and Huang Fei broke up."
But from what I've observed, Huang Yu doesn't dislike Huang Fei; he just has other things to do. You know what kind of business Huang Yu is in. I always feel like he's protecting Huang Fei or something. Anyway, I'm quite envious of you and Huang Fei. At least you have someone so devoted to you, unlike me..."
At this point, Ye Shuang shook his head: "Let's not talk about this anymore. You probably know why I came to see you this time. I'll say it again, I'm serious this time, and I hope you can think it over carefully."
Ye Qing was silent for a while: "I'm not an unreasonable person. If you're sincere, let's talk business. As long as it's beneficial to me, I have no reason to refuse to cooperate with you. But you should have seen how busy our studio's designers are when you came here. The new season's fashion show is just around the corner, and we've almost found all the models. Now you want me to tell them that I want to cooperate with your company's models? If you were in that situation, what would you think?"
