Ye Qing didn't expect to be seen by Su Zhe. She wasn't embarrassed, though. Even though they were separated by glass, Su Zhe could still see her. He might not be able to hear her, but she still had to greet him. So Ye Qing and Xi Yue raised their hands and waved to Su Zhe.
Su Zhe smiled and waved to Ye Qing and Xi Yue, then pointed to a spot not far away, indicating that he was leaving.
Ye Qing and Xi Yue naturally didn't say anything, they just smiled and nodded politely, indicating that Su Zhe could do as he pleased.
However, after taking two steps, Su Zhe seemed to realize something and suddenly stopped, turning his head to look in the direction he had come from, where he and Yang Zi had parted ways.
After a long silence, Su Zhe slowly turned around and looked at Ye Qing and Xi Yue.
Xi Yue looked away and asked Ye Qing, "Does he know we saw it?"
Ye Qing glanced outside.
This shopping mall was considered a rather avant-garde building at the beginning of the millennium. The shopping plaza was a huge circle with no obstructions in the center except for the elevators. The top floor had a huge sunshade. The cake shop where Ye Qing and Xi Yue were located was on the third floor. Because it had glass windows, Ye Qing and Xi Yue could see some of the shops on the second floor across the street from where they were sitting.
Su Zhe and Yang Zi just separated on the second floor.
Su Zhe and Yang Zi couldn't see Ye Qing and the others, but Ye Qing could see Su Zhe and Yang Zi.
Su Zhe also realized the problem. He stood there hesitating for a long time before turning around and letting the cake shop leave.
"He's coming in," Xi Yue said nervously to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing saw it, of course, and asked Xi Yue, "Why are you so nervous? If anyone should be nervous, it should be him."
Xi Yue wanted to say something more, but Su Zhe had already walked over, so Xi Yue swallowed her words.
Su Zhe walked to the table where Ye Qing and Xi Yue were sitting, and then looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing glanced at the chair next to him and gestured for Su Zhe to sit down.
Soon the waiter came over and asked Su Zhe what he wanted to order, but Su Zhe didn't order anything.
Judging from her posture, Xi Yue had something to say to Ye Qing. She wisely left first, telling Ye Qing that they would meet at Ye Qing's shop later. Ye Qing nodded to indicate that he understood.
Actually, Su Zhe hadn't intended to avoid Xi Yue at all. But with Xi Yue leaving, Su Zhe felt awkward again, just like when he was outside and realized that Ye Qing could see her and Yang Zi together from her angle.
He had planned what to say before coming in, but after Xi Yue left, Su Zhe felt a bit nervous facing the composed Ye Qing.
"You saw it just now?" Despite being nervous, Su Zhe spoke first.
Ye Qing nodded: "I saw you and Yang Zi."
"Actually, she and I..."
Ye Qing interrupted Su Zhe's hesitant words: "You are an adult and have the freedom and right to interact with others. In principle, I shouldn't say anything, but Yang Zi, Xi Quan, and I have a rift, as I think you know. Under these circumstances, your close relationship with Yang Zi is bound to cause speculation. Of course, you don't have to consider me, but what about Xi Quan? Don't you care about Xi Quan either? Or is it because of your mother's matter that you have a grudge against Xi Quan?"
Ye Qing skipped the pleasantries with Su Zhe and went straight to asking what she wanted to know.
Su Zhe pursed his lips and asked Ye Qing, "Shouldn't I have resentment towards him? My mother is now..."
"Then what about the fact that Xi Quan almost died and went blind? You know better than I do what happened back then. Do you think Xi Quan should have just endured it?" Ye Qing had discussed the matter with Su Zhe before, and she thought Su Zhe was able to distinguish right from wrong.
But who knew he would ask such a question? This upset Ye Qing, and her tone became less than pleasant.
Su Zhe wasn't too angry when he heard Ye Qing's emotionally charged words, but he remained silent.
In fact, Ye Qing also knew that, given the relationship between her and Su Zhe, even if Su Zhe had really done something, he couldn't explain it to Ye Qing; he should explain it to Xi Quan.
But no matter what, we must first have an attitude, and it's clear that Su Zhe's attitude is somewhat inflaming.
So Ye Qing, who was about to swallow her words, said them again: "Do you also think that Xi Quan is entitled to do whatever he wants, or that Xi Quan owes you something?"
Su Zhe remained silent, perhaps organizing his thoughts on how to broach the subject with Ye Qing, or perhaps he simply had no intention of speaking. Regardless of the reason, Su Zhe's attitude was infuriating. Ye Qing said, "You're able to live such a carefree life now because of Xi Quan. You should know what your grandfather's company is like. Even if you don't know, you should have a general idea. Plus, with Liang Youjie's actions back then, the company is actually all show and no substance."
Of course you can make money now, but you know better than me how much you can earn in this industry. And your grandfather, not only does Xi Quan have a responsibility to support him, but you do too. If it weren't for Xi Quan, could you manage on your own?
Xi Quan owes you nothing. On the contrary, if Xi Quan were gone, how would you maintain your current standard of living? For example, whose house do you live in now?
Although Su Zhe's mother was also Xi Quan's maternal grandfather's daughter from a previous life, she showed a strong ambition from the moment she appeared. Moreover, Xi Quan's maternal grandfather was not the kind of person who easily relinquished power. So even though she was his biological daughter, because she did not grow up by his side, Xi Quan's maternal grandfather almost never trusted Su Zhe's mother.
Although Quan Zhen was the general manager of their hotel, all decisions, including those concerning finances, were made by Xi Quan's maternal grandfather.
So at that time, Quan Zhen looked glamorous, but in reality, she had nothing. Because of this, although Quan Zhen didn't like her son Liang Youjie, she secretly helped him when he showed ambition for the company.
The place where Quan Zhen lived with Su Zhe was actually under Xi Quan's maternal grandfather's name. That is to say, the property certificate was in Xi Quan's maternal grandfather's name. Later, the company was managed in a mess by Liang Youjie and was in debt, including tax arrears. In order to help the company get through the difficulties, Xi Quan's maternal grandfather mortgaged everything he could to pay off the debts.
This included the house where Quan Zhen and Su Zhe lived. The debt was eventually paid off, but the company was beyond saving, so the houses and shares that Xi Quan's maternal grandfather had mortgaged were naturally unrecoverable.
If he doesn't come back, Su Zhe will naturally have nowhere to stay.
Finally, Xi Quan found a place for Su Zhe to stay, and the house was registered under Xi Quan's name.
Ye Qing's words made Su Zhe purse his lips, wanting to speak, but he still didn't say anything, because he was powerless to refute Ye Qing's words.
But now that he was inside, Su Zhe didn't intend to remain silent. If he didn't want to think about anything, he could have left even if he had realized that Ye Qing had seen him meeting Yang Zi.
But he didn't, so facing the angry Ye Qing, Su Zhe calmly retorted, "So in your eyes, I'm an ingrate?"
