Ye Qing had just mentioned that Jiang Xinya was indeed testing her, but Ye Qing never expected Li Yeming to blurt it out like that.
Now that Li Yeming had spoken, Ye Qing had no reason to keep quiet. So, although Li Yeming looked away guiltily, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation, the matter was now settled, and whether or not to continue was no longer up to him.
"Jiang Xinya asked you for money? Why?" Ye Qing asked. "To borrow money? No, you used the word 'ask for money,' and you said it in a very self-righteous tone. If you were complete strangers, would she still be able to ask you for money so self-righteously? Wouldn't you call the police?"
Although Ye Qing was still not quite sure what the relationship between Li Yeming and Jiang Xinya was, she could guess that their relationship was probably quite close. So even when testing Li Yeming, Ye Qing deliberately described their relationship as intimate.
Li Yeming still didn't dare to look Ye Qing in the eye, because she had let something slip earlier, and naturally she wouldn't continue Ye Qing's conversation now.
Ye Qing didn't expect Li Yeming to give an immediate reply after she said that.
Although Li Yeming did not answer Ye Qing, Ye Qing noticed that she kept swallowing her saliva because she was nervous.
The more this happened, the more Ye Qing knew that her guess about the close relationship between Li Yeming and Jiang Xinya was correct. Perhaps they were relatives, but the fact that Li Yeming didn't know about this before didn't seem to be a lie.
It's highly likely that Li Yeming only found out about it when Jiang Xinya came back and went to find him.
With this general idea in mind, Ye Qing thought about what Dalson had told him: the magazine headquarters didn't actually think highly of Jiang Xinya, but due to some reason, they had to let Jiang Xinya serve as the editor-in-chief of the Nancheng branch.
This also shows that Jiang Xinya is quite wealthy. If she and Li Yeming really have some kind of relationship... Ye Qing then told Li Yeming what she knew about Jiang Xinya, according to her own thoughts. After she finished speaking, Ye Qing said, "Jiang Xinya's financial situation should be good. If you and she are related, then paying the breach of contract penalty is of course no problem."
In fact, how could Li Yeming not know what Ye Qing meant by "meaningless"?
She had clearly said that Jiang Xinya wouldn't give her money, but she insisted that Jiang Xinya would... she just wanted to know what her relationship with Jiang Xinya really was.
Li Yeming remained silent for a long time, struggling internally for a long time, before slowly saying, "Jiang Xinya and I are indeed related. I haven't figured out whether she came to me because she really liked the Jin brand or because Yang Zi instigated her."
But whatever the reason, since she came to me, she must be very confident. I don't want to terminate the contract, and the penalty for breach of contract might be quite high, but Ye Qing, my little shop was really on the verge of going out of business back then, and you helped me. I can't be ungrateful.
So before they do anything, it's best for me to separate from Zitai Fashion. As for whether the Jin brand can survive in the future, that's up to fate.
Ye Qing felt that she had already said all that, but Li Yeming still wouldn't budge. If she asked any further, Li Yeming might not tell her the truth.
So Ye Qing decided not to ask any further questions, but after staring at Li Yeming for a moment, Ye Qing said her last words before leaving: "Sister Li, although I call you sister, you are my elder, and I shouldn't show off in front of you, no matter what."
But we've known each other for quite some time now, and there are some things I can't help but say: ever since I met you, I've been filled with gratitude towards you.
Later, I had your studio sign with Zitai Fashion. Regardless of my initial thoughts or intentions, you always gained tangible benefits. Now, you don't want to say what the situation is, so I won't ask. But I don't want our relationship to end up like the farmer and the snake.
After saying that, Ye Qing no longer expected Li Yeming to say anything more.
But just as Ye Qing was about to open the door, Li Yeming behind her spoke up: "I..."
Although he had given up all expectations, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of hope when he heard Li Yeming's voice, and quickly turned to look at him.
Li Yeming hesitated for a moment and said, "Yang Zi has found Liu Yuliang's mother at Zitai Fashion, and it seems she wants to persuade her mother to do something. You should be careful."
Although Ye Qing had given up hope, hearing Li Yeming say that gave her a glimmer of hope.
Li Yeming mentioned this from the beginning, and Ye Qing hadn't forgotten it either; there was really no need for someone to remind her of it again.
Ye Qing still politely thanked Li Yeming, after all, this matter did require Ye Qing's attention.
Although she had never met Liu Yuliang's mother, Ye Qing could tell from Xu Xiaoyue's words that Liu Yuliang's mother was a difficult person to get along with.
"How was it? Did she say anything to you?" As soon as Ye Qing came out of Li Yeming's office, Xi Yue chased after him and asked.
"No." Ye Qing shook his head.
Xi Yue looked at Ye Qing, puzzled: "Then what does she want with you?"
"Terminate the contract." Ye Qing said succinctly and left. After taking a couple of steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Xi Yue: "You and Li Yeming are partners. She wants to terminate the contract. Didn't you know?"
Xi Yue grabbed Ye Qing: "No, explain yourself clearly? Terminating the contract? Terminating what? Terminating the contract with whom?"
"This studio was signed with Zitai Fashion, and she now wants to terminate the contract with Zitai Fashion," Ye Qing said.
"No, why?" Xi Yue asked, puzzled.
Ye Qing shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
Xi Yue glanced at Ye Qing as she ran towards Li Yeming's office.
Although Ye Qing didn't intend to ask Xi Yue for any help, and only told Xi Yue because Xi Yue asked, Ye Qing wouldn't stop Xi Yue from going to Li Yeming now.
And to be honest, Li Yeming shouldn't have kept the fact that he wanted to terminate the contract from Xi Yue. Although Li Yeming was the one who signed with Zitai Fashion in the first place, Xi Yue agreed to it before Li Yeming signed the contract.
If Xi Yue doesn't agree, Zitai Fashion won't sign a contract with Li Yeming, because if trouble arises, it will be very complicated from a legal perspective.
Similarly, Li Yeming should have been informed of the termination of his partnership agreement.
Now that Xi Yue has gone to find Li Yeming, Ye Qing hopes that Xi Yue can find out something.
Li Yeming was a little surprised to see Xi Yue storming back into his office: "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You're asking me, Sister Li. I never thought you liked to play innocent before, but now it seems you're really good at it." Xi Yue said coolly.
