After Ye Qing finished speaking, she glanced at Xi Yue, who had remained silent, and said to her and Xu Xiaoyue, "Let's go."
After saying that, Ye Qing realized that Xu Xiaoyue was still wearing heavy makeup for the photoshoot, and asked, "Do you want to remove your makeup?"
"You and Xi Yue wait for me a moment while I change out of my photoshoot clothes. I won't remove my makeup. I'll take you home," Xu Xiaoyue said as she pushed open the door and went to the small cubicle inside the dressing room to change.
Seeing this, Liang Lu opened the door and prepared to leave. After all, Ye Qing and the other two women were there, and Xu Xiaoyue had gone to change her clothes, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay.
However, as soon as the door opened, before Liang Lu could even react, he was punched in from outside.
Ye Qing watched as Liang Lu staggered back into the dressing room. She subconsciously moved to a corner, afraid of being affected. After all, she was pregnant and it would be troublesome if she were bumped or knocked.
Seeing this, Xi Yue quickly helped Ye Qing move to a corner.
Just as the two stood up, Liang Lu, who had just managed to stand still, was punched again.
Ye Qing and Xi Yue then noticed that the person slowly entering from outside the door was none other than Xi Quan!
Ye Qing was surprised to see Xi Quan there. Although he seemed calm, he noticed a great deal of anger in Xi Quan's eyes. Ye Qing realized that Xi Quan must have been there for a while and had heard a lot outside, otherwise he wouldn't have attacked Liang Lu as soon as he saw him.
Earlier, when Ye Qing received a page from Xu Xiaoyue saying she was coming over, Xi Yue went back to get her car keys and drove off, calling Xi Quan in the process.
However, Xi Yue called Xi Quan mainly because she was worried about Ye Qing, and had no intention of having Xi Quan come and talk to Liang Lu and the others.
Seeing that Liang Lu had recovered after being punched twice, Xi Yue quickly tugged at Ye Qing, signaling her to try and persuade him.
Ye Qing glanced at Xi Yue, as if to ask, "Are you worried about Liang Lu?"
Xi Yue denied it, but she was afraid that if she did anything else at this moment, she would provoke Xi Quan, so she quickly waved her hand at Ye Qing, meaning that she was not worried about Liang Lu, but about Xi Quan, and signaled Ye Qing to quickly persuade him.
Turning her gaze away, Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan and Liang Lu again. Xi Quan still exuded an imposing aura, but the anger in his eyes was obvious.
However, Liang Lu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth where he had been hit, looking somewhat fierce. At this moment, Ye Qing also became a little worried, what if Liang Lu retaliated?
So, while Xi Quan and Liang Lu were exchanging angry glances, Ye Qing, supporting her stomach, quickly stood between them.
Just as Ye Qing had feared, Liang Lu was about to retaliate. He raised his fist halfway up, but when he saw Ye Qing, he clenched his fist in mid-air. Before he could lower it, Ye Qing was pulled aside by Xi Quan.
"Are you crazy!" Xi Quan pulled Ye Qing away and glared at her, scolding her.
Ye Qing stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing, then remained silent and looked at Liang Lu again.
Although he was furious at being hit, the anger from being hit for no apparent reason had subsided. Liang Lu swallowed and said to Xi Quan, "Let's talk outside."
Squinting at Liang Lu, Xi Quan didn't deny it. He looked past Liang Lu and at Ye Qing, who had obediently returned to the corner. Xi Quan said in a fierce tone, "Wait here for me."
Ye Qing nodded.
After Xi Quan and Liang Lu left, Xi Yue was still very worried: "Ye Qing, why don't you go and check on them? What if they start fighting again?"
Although Ye Qing was also worried about Xi Quan, she felt that if two men started fighting, then so be it, and anyone would be unable to remain calm in such a situation.
Moreover, Xi Quan also lacks family affection. His biological parents died early. He once thought Quan was his biological mother, but she was not good to him.
My maternal grandfather was more of a pawn, or rather, acting in the company's best interests.
The grandparents weren't exactly kind to Xi Quan; compared to how they treated Xi Yue, they weren't particularly good to him. However, for Xi Quan, who lacked affection from his family, it was quite good.
Although Grandma was old enough to die peacefully, she was still a close relative, and it's hard for anyone to accept losing her so suddenly.
Xi Quan was the only one in the family who could handle things. In front of his grandfather and Xi Yue, he had always suppressed his emotions. Now that he knew the truth, he was naturally angry, but Ye Qing knew that this was also an outlet for Xi Quan's anger.
And this matter needs to be clarified no matter what.
So Ye Qing felt fine talking to Xi Quan and Liang Lu alone. She said to Xi Yue, who was worried, "It's actually good to talk things out. This matter can't be left unsaid."
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Yue stared at her toes in silence for a long time before looking up at Ye Qing and stammering, "I hope this matter is left unmentioned."
After all, it's not something to be proud of to cause such a sensation every time it's about relationships.
In the past... I had to bear the consequences myself. Although the consequences were terrible, at least no one else was involved.
Now it's...Grandma...Although Grandma has her problems and isn't perfect, she raised me from a young age. She treated me better than my own mother. I..."
Xi Yue stammered as she spoke, but even so, before she could finish her sentence, she started to cry silently.
Xu Xiaoyue had already changed her clothes and came out. When she saw Xi Yue's appearance, she stood there, not knowing what to say.
Ye Qing stood up, pulled out his chair, and sat down next to Xi Yue, gently patting Xi Yue's back.
I've seen Xi Yue cry more often back then, before Ye Qing went abroad. Xi Yue came to Ye Qing to make a scene because of Ye Shuwei's matter. She was hysterical and looked very distressed, but at that time Ye Qing didn't sympathize with Xi Yue at all.
But now, seeing Xi Yue silently shedding tears, Ye Qing realized that Xi Yue had really changed. This kind of crying evoked more empathy than hysteria, and made people feel more deeply about Xi Yue's sadness and sorrow.
After a short while, Xi Yue raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Everyone says I've changed, but how could I not? Because of relationship issues, I've caused trouble time and time again. How can I still be as carefree as before?"
I used to think I had everything except for love, so I acted out and felt that everyone had wronged me. I wondered what was wrong with pursuing my own happiness.
And back then, although my grandparents were quite old, they seemed to still have the energy to help me with the aftermath and take care of me. Now… Grandma is gone, and Grandpa is getting older and older… What right do I have to do whatever I want?”
Xi Yue glanced at Ye Qing, who was looking at her with concern, and gave a self-deprecating laugh before asking, "Do you know why Grandma suddenly had a brain hemorrhage and was hospitalized?"
