After Ye Qing finished speaking, he looked at Xi Quan, as if asking if what he said made sense.
Xi Quan was silent for a moment, then looked at Ye Qing and said calmly, "My grandfather might indeed know something, but I think we shouldn't have any hope."
Ye Qing blinked but didn't say anything.
She understood what Xi Quan meant. Xi Quan's grandfather was inherently competitive and had a strong desire for control, but the reality was that he now had to listen to Xi Quan in everything.
Even though the company is failing, the old man won't starve to death; after all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
But at his age, Xi Quan is the only one among the younger generation he can count on. And it is precisely because of his age that he can't always be strong. When he has an illness or something, he needs someone by his side.
This was something the old man couldn't avoid, and for someone who was always competitive, it was not only humiliating but also extremely frustrating.
It's already good enough that they don't cause trouble for Xi Quan. Now, getting him to reveal some secrets that only he might know... is obviously not that easy.
After all, if Xi Quan were to ask, those secrets might not be anything significant, but the old man might still put on airs.
Because Xi Quan had, after all, "begged" him.
Seeing that Ye Qing didn't speak, Xi Quan assumed that Ye Qing was disappointed with his words. After a moment of silence, Xi Quan slowly said, "Actually, if we don't look for my grandfather, we can think of other ways. Judging from what you just said, Li Yeming should know this too, right?"
Actually, Ye Qing wasn't angry, so when she heard Xi Quan's words, she didn't think that Xi Quan was trying to make amends. She just went along with Xi Quan's words and said, "Li Ye clearly knows, and I also asked her about it indirectly, but do you know what she said?"
"She used her deceased parents to shut me down completely, saying that some things involved her deceased parents, so it was inconvenient for her to talk to me. With her attitude like that, it would be difficult to get anything out of Li Yeming." Ye Qing shook her head after saying that.
While the current situation may seem somewhat perplexing, it hasn't reached a dead end yet.
Moreover, they are actually capable of handling the loss of style and fashion. The reason they seem so anxious now is not because they cannot handle failure.
Rather, it was because they cared about each other, and more importantly, both Ye Qing and Xi Quan were unwilling to admit defeat.
This kind of unwillingness to admit defeat is somewhat different from that of Xi Quan's maternal grandfather. Xi Quan's maternal grandfather was unwilling to admit defeat, which was the so-called "unwillingness to admit defeat." Ye Qing and Xi Quan now know that their opponents have begun to scheme against them. Whether it is passive or active, they must fight back. They cannot do nothing and let things develop as they may just because they can withstand defeat.
If they still fail despite their best efforts, there's nothing to regret. But to admit defeat before even starting anything isn't in Ye Qing's or Xi Quan's character.
Neither of them would admit defeat, but they were truly at a loss for what to do. Xi Quan said, "Don't think about these things for now. Isn't Xu Xiaoyue about to marry Liu Yuliang? Xu Xiaoyue is your best friend, so why don't you think about what gift to give them?"
Xi Quan was trying to distract Ye Qing.
Hearing Xi Quan say that, Ye Qing's attention was indeed diverted, and she said, "I was prepared a long time ago."
"Grandma just passed away not long ago, so I won't go to their wedding. It'll save the elders from feeling uncomfortable if they find out. You can just bring the kids." Xi Quan chatted with Ye Qing, seeing that she was no longer thinking about Yang Zi and Jiang Xinya.
Ye Qing was indeed a little disappointed that Xi Quan couldn't attend the wedding, but since it was someone else's wedding and she was there to offer her blessings, if the other party minded these things, not attending was also a form of blessing.
Although this kind of thing is a bit superstitious, and it's fine if you don't believe it, weddings and funerals are still big events. If someone minds, it's best to go along with the host's wishes.
So Ye Qing didn't say anything after hearing Xi Quan's words, tacitly agreeing with his statement, and only mentioned the two children: "Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin have been particularly excited these past few days, saying that they have been flower girls before and have been looking forward to being flower girls at Xiaoyue's wedding."
“Then let’s have them be flower girls and page boys again when we have your wedding after you give birth,” Xi Quan said.
His words startled Ye Qing slightly: "Us?"
"Yes, we talked about this before, and you didn't object then." Xi Quan was driving, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. After speaking, he seemed to remember something, and since the light was red, he turned to look at Ye Qing: "Or have you changed your mind now and don't really want to have a wedding anymore?"
Ye Qing remembered that Xi Quan had said this before, but if Ye Qing remembered correctly, she did not immediately agree to hold the wedding after the child in her belly was born.
Regardless of what he thought at the time, it seems that Xi Quan wanted to have a wedding.
Ye Qing felt that if Xi Quan wanted to hold a wedding, she could cooperate with him. However, as she had mentioned before, Xi Quan's grandmother had just passed away not long ago. So, after thinking for a moment, Ye Qing reminded Xi Quan, "Grandma's passing was so recent. If we hold a wedding, will Grandpa have any objections?"
Seeing Xi Quan's expression change and a sense of guilt towards himself, Ye Qing quickly explained, "Although we are holding a wedding for ourselves, it is still a joyous occasion, and of course we want everyone's blessings. So if we insist on it knowing there will be outside noise, I think it would be a bit deliberate. We should just keep our happiness to ourselves."
Ye Qing's words weren't without reason, but Xi Quan had always felt indebted to Ye Qing, ever since they got married. He wanted to make it up to her. Ye Qing didn't lack money, and he treated her very well. The only thing he felt was missing was that they still didn't have a wedding.
Given the opportunity, Xi Quan naturally wanted to make up for this regret.
But I didn’t realize that such a simple idea required so much consideration.
"There's a saying that good things come to those who wait," Ye Qing said, trying to comfort Xi Quan, whose expression still wasn't very good.
Xi Quan squeezed Ye Qing's hand, his eyes filled with deep affection and an overwhelming sense of guilt. Ye Qing gently kissed their clasped hands, wanting to say that she didn't care about those things, but it was clear that Xi Quan did. So Ye Qing didn't want to say anything at this moment, in case Xi Quan misunderstood that she was just comforting him, Xi Quan might feel even more guilty.
This was just the two of them chatting casually. Although it did affect their emotions to some extent, it was actually not too bad. However, after returning home, something related to this really affected Ye Qing's mood.
