Ye Qing finally heard Su Zhe speak, but she couldn't help but laugh at his words. She was so angry that she laughed instead: "Whether you are an ingrate or not depends on what you have done. Of course, I don't want you to be an ingrate, because that would prove that Xi Quan's concern for you, his younger brother, was all fake."
After a pause, Ye Qing said, almost word by word, "Whether you're an ingrate or not, although I can't give you an answer right now, I think you already have the answer in your heart. That is, up to now, without Xi Quan's knowledge, have you done anything to betray Xi Quan?"
"If I say no, would you believe me?" Su Zhe'er still didn't answer Ye Qing's question directly.
Ye Qing looked at Su Zhe with a half-smile: "You don't need to keep asking me in this rhetorical tone. I'll say it again: whether you're an ingrate or not, and whether others believe you, depends on what you've already done."
Ye Qing thought Su Zhe would explain what was going on, but in reality, he was just wasting his breath. He didn't say anything he should have said, so Ye Qing lost interest in talking to Su Zhe anymore. She picked up her bag, stood up, and left.
Su Zhe sighed deeply, remaining seated in silence, his eyes unfocused, seemingly gazing into nowhere.
When Ye Qing returned to his shop, Xi Yue was still waiting there. Seeing Ye Qing arrive, Xi Yue quickly came up to him and asked, "What did he say?"
Ye Qing shook his head wearily: "He didn't say anything, not even a few words."
Xi Yue opened her mouth as if to speak, but after hesitating for a moment, she asked instead, "Did Su Zhe leave?"
"I don't know," Ye Qing replied, then, noticing Xi Yue's bewildered expression, asked, "What are you looking at?"
Ye Qing's store has an excellent and wide view. While you can't see the entire third floor of the shopping plaza, you can see almost the entire second floor, and you can also see a lot on the first floor. It's also close to the elevator, so if Su Zhe leaves, you can see him if you look carefully.
Xi Yue did indeed want to see if Su Zhe had left.
So when she heard Ye Qing's words, Xi Yue blurted out what she was looking at without thinking, saying that she was looking at Su Zhe to see if Su Zhe had left.
After she finished speaking, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Ye Qing was looking at her with great surprise, so Xi Yue looked away.
Ye Qing knew that Xi Yue knew Su Zhe, but in Ye Qing's impression, Xi Yue and Su Zhe didn't seem to have a very good relationship. But now Xi Yue seemed to care a lot about Su Zhe.
This did pique Ye Qing's curiosity, but seeing Xi Yue's hesitant expression, Ye Qing couldn't help but ask, "Are you concerned about whether Su Zhe has left or not? Why?"
Swallowing hard, Xi Yue was afraid that Ye Qing would get angry, but under Ye Qing's gaze, which was not exactly scrutinizing but was more like scrutinizing, Xi Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "I just called Xi Quan and said that I met Su Zhe."
After telling Ye Qing part of the truth, Xi Yue glanced at Ye Qing cautiously and, finding that Ye Qing didn't seem angry, continued, "After Xi Quan found out, he told me to keep an eye on Su Zhe and not let him leave, because he was coming over, so that's why I..."
Xi Yue didn't finish her sentence, but Ye Qing understood what she meant: "Xi Quan is coming over?"
Xi Yue nodded, then thought for a moment and explained again in more accurate terms: "That's what he said on the phone."
It's not exactly close to Xi Quan's company. Although it's only the year 2000, the road traffic in the south of the city isn't that bad yet, meaning there won't be any traffic jams. But if there are a few more traffic lights, it could still take a while.
In Ye Qing's view, even if Xi Quan had come, Su Zhe might have already left.
From Xi Quan's perspective, he might be a little disappointed if he didn't see Su Zhe, but Ye Qing had just had a brief chat with Su Zhe, and Ye Qing felt that it didn't matter if Xi Quan didn't see Su Zhe, and he should even be glad.
After all, Su Zhe didn't seem to want to say anything. Since he wasn't going to say anything, meeting him would only cause more trouble. It was better to let Xi Quan still have expectations for Su Zhe.
Just like Xi Quan once said, wait for Su Zhe, wait for Su Zhe to take the initiative to come to him.
However, all of this was just Ye Qing's thought. In fact, Ye Qing hadn't even finished talking to Xi Yue when he saw Xi Quan.
Xi Quan and Su Zhe, who was about to leave, met in the elevator; one was getting off, and the other was getting on.
It was a bit like a scene from a TV show or movie, where two people going in opposite directions turned around and looked at each other.
After Xi Quan got off the elevator, he took the escalator down and left with Su Zhe.
Seeing this, Ye Qing withdrew his gaze.
After Xi Quan caught up with Su Zhe, the two were silent at first. Then Xi Quan said, "Since we've run into each other, let's chat."
Su Zhe had no objection.
Because of his poor health, Su Zhe had never had a driver's license, so he got into Xi Quan's car with Xi Quan. After getting in the car, Xi Quan didn't rush to drive.
Although he wasn't telling the truth, Su Zhe knew that Xi Quan was waiting for him to speak.
Meeting Ye Qing, and even Xi Quan, was unexpected and not within Su Zhe's expectations. But since they had met, Su Zhe knew what they wanted to know.
Moreover, even though he met Yang Zi today and didn't run into Ye Qing and Xi Yue, Su Zhe knew that his situation couldn't be hidden from his older brother.
To be honest, after encountering them one after another, Su Zhe actually felt relieved. After a long silence, Su Zhe slowly spoke: "Do you also think I'm an ingrate?"
Xi Quan wanted to smoke, but thinking of Su Zhe's poor health, even though Su Zhe didn't have a respiratory illness, he was used to it, so he put the cigarette back. At the same time, he heard Su Zhe's question.
Narrowing his eyes, Xi Quan ignored his slightly trembling eyelids and said, "Everyone still thinks that the two of us are fighting to the death."
Upon hearing Xi Quan's words, Su Zhe suddenly looked at Xi Quan, his eyes shining with surprise.
When Xi Quan saw Su Zhe's gaze, his eyes flickered. He then looked away and asked Su Zhe calmly, "What does Yang Zi want from you? Since we're going to fight to the death, she must have something to ask of you. She wouldn't have come looking for you for no reason."
“Her son was arrested, and the case is still under investigation, which will take a long time. But this also gives her time to raise money. However, there is too much money, and it is difficult for her to raise so much money in a short period of time. So she turned her attention to Zitai Fashion again. She said she wanted to take back what was originally hers and asked me for help,” Su Zhe said.
After Su Zhe finished speaking, Xi Quan slowly turned his head to look at Su Zhe. Xi Quan had almost forgotten that Su Zhe had shares in Zitai Fashion. These shares were given to him by Yang Zi after she sold them. In addition to giving them to him, Su Zhe also gave them to Liu Yuliang.
