After Xi Quan finished speaking, he left without even glancing at Ye Qing again.
Ye Qing stood at the door, staring blankly at Xi Quan's back. It was indeed Xi Quan, her husband.
However, Xi Quan's indifferent attitude surprised Ye Qing. Even when they were reborn and first met in Xiaoyao Village, Xi Quan was not this indifferent.
At that time, he was just not talkative and a bit cold, but he wouldn't ignore people. However, just now Xi Quan was about to completely ignore Ye Qing.
Ye Qing understood that Xi Quan's grandmother was gone, and it was normal for him to be in a bad mood, but was he so upset that he ignored her?!
This was a bit hard for Ye Qing to understand, because if it were Ye Qing, she would certainly be sad at this moment, but she would also want to find someone to rely on, and Xi Quan was the best person Ye Qing could rely on.
Ye Qing didn't say that Xi Quan had to rely on her, but Xi Quan's attitude was clearly wrong.
"Um..." Aunt Zhang looked at Ye Qing standing there staring at the door, her feelings were very complicated.
Hearing Zhang Sao's voice, Ye Qing snapped out of her reverie and turned to look at Zhang Sao. Ye Qing was still immersed in her own emotions, wondering what was wrong with Xi Quan, and hadn't paid much attention to anything else. However, when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhang Sao's expression, Ye Qing paused for a moment, then slowly sat down on the sofa while keeping her eyes fixed on Zhang Sao.
Once Ye Qing sat down, Aunt Zhang went to attend to her own business.
However, Ye Qing suddenly called out to her: "Is something wrong at the hospital?"
Actually, Ye Qing didn't know anything, but both Zhang Sao and Xi Quan's attitudes were a bit intriguing. Ye Qing couldn't help but ask a question, and as soon as she finished speaking, she could clearly see Zhang Sao's relaxed back stiffen instantly.
Although Aunt Zhang was still facing away from Ye Qing and hadn't turned around, so Ye Qing couldn't see her expression, just from her body language, he knew that she definitely had something she hadn't told him!
Moreover, what she didn't say was probably the real reason why Xi Quan treated her this way.
So Ye Qing stood up again, supporting herself on the sofa, and slowly walked to Aunt Zhang. "So there's still something I don't know? What happened?"
Zhang Sao was already extremely nervous when Ye Qing asked her that question, let alone now that Ye Qing was looking at her face to face. Zhang Sao was so nervous that she kept swallowing her saliva.
"Please sit down first," Aunt Zhang said, helping Ye Qing to sit down.
Although Aunt Zhang had always been cautious, her current reaction was clearly different from usual, making Ye Qing increasingly uneasy.
"So what exactly happened?" Ye Qing asked again, staring at Zhang Sao.
Aunt Zhang glanced at Ye Qing, then slowly sat down next to her, staring at her own toes, her hands twisting together on her knees, looking utterly helpless.
Ye Qing was extremely shocked: "Grandma Xi Quan's death couldn't be related to you, could it?"
Thinking of this, Ye Qing's hands turned ice cold.
“I…” Aunt Zhang’s pupils dilated suddenly when she heard Ye Qing’s words, and she looked at Ye Qing abruptly.
Without needing to ask any further, just by looking at Zhang Sao's expression, Ye Qing knew that he had probably guessed correctly. Ye Qing was both angry and worried.
Suppressing his anger, Ye Qing asked, "What exactly happened?"
Faced with Ye Qing's repeated questions, and seeing the obvious change in Xi Quan's attitude towards Ye Qing, Aunt Zhang was filled with regret: "Didn't I go to deliver food that day? Xi Quan's grandmother had just regained consciousness and asked about Xi Yue's wedding..."
"So what?" Ye Qing was still angry and was listening to what Aunt Zhang was saying without thinking about what she really meant.
"Well... Xi Yue did produce a marriage certificate... but..." Aunt Zhang started to stutter at this point, and didn't know how to continue.
Ye Qing was getting extremely anxious: "Say something..."
"I..." Aunt Zhang hesitated, but she knew that she had to say something, otherwise it would definitely affect Ye Qing and Xi Quan's relationship. Moreover, in her opinion, if something really happened to Ye Qing and Xi Quan, how would Ye Qing raise three children by herself?
Swallowing hard, Aunt Zhang continued, "Just before I delivered the food that day, I overheard you talking to Huang Fei on the phone, saying that the man Xi Yue was marrying was having an affair. I instinctively blurted out..."
Although she didn't say what she said, Ye Qing knew roughly what was going on without having to think too much.
It's nothing more than Zhang Sao telling Xi Quan's grandmother about Liang Lu's affair, which upset the old lady, and then...
Although the hospital doctors had already issued a critical condition notice, Zhang's words became the catalyst for the accelerated progression of the illness!
Ye Qing sat there, her hands clenched into fists, furious. But she knew that blaming Zhang Sao now would be useless, because the damage was already done.
But Ye Qing felt incredibly frustrated and suffocated.
She could choose not to think about why Aunt Zhang had abandoned her in the first place, but she couldn't tolerate Aunt Zhang constantly causing trouble for others.
Moreover, all the trouble she caused could have been avoided.
Even Ye Qing couldn't imagine that Aunt Zhang, who was not young and had previously worked as a nanny, was less capable in dealing with people than a child.
Huang Fei's news caused quite a stir back then. She took the initiative to tell reporters about Ye Qing's background. Ye Qing could let it go, since it was indeed difficult for her to deal with reporters.
But now...
Saying such hurtful things to a dying patient... She even insists on the custom that pregnant women don't attend funerals. How can she not know such basic human decency?
Ye Qing truly couldn't understand. After a long while, Ye Qing said self-deprecatingly, "I'm wondering if you did this on purpose."
Otherwise, it's better not to have a mother like that.
"I really didn't mean it, I just felt..." Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Aunt Zhang quickly tried to explain.
However, Ye Qing didn't want to listen. She glanced at Aunt Zhang and walked out on her own.
"Are you sure you can go out alone? You can't go to Grandpa Xi Quan's house like this, they're holding a funeral there..."
Before Aunt Zhang could finish speaking, Ye Qing turned and looked at her coldly.
Ye Qing's appearance made Zhang Sao unable to continue speaking, so she decisively shut up.
Even if she didn't say it, Ye Qing knew that it wasn't a good idea for her to go to Grandpa Xi Quan's house at this time.
Putting aside whether her pregnancy clashes with a funeral, just considering Zhang Sao's actions, would Grandpa Xi Quan's family welcome her if she went to their house now?
In the past, Ye Qing would have thought it didn't matter if he wasn't welcomed, since he still had Xi Quan. However, Xi Quan's attitude just now made Ye Qing realize that he also had some grievances about Zhang Sao's actions.
Ye Qing doesn't blame Xi Quan and understands, so she would never go at this time, as going might cause trouble for Xi Quan.
But standing on the street, Ye Qing wrapped her clothes tighter and felt a little cold. Where should she go?
