Chapter 557 Beware of Extremes Leading to Reversals



"Hearing you say that, if your child is a son, that's fine, but if it's a daughter, your mother-in-law will probably be even more..."

Ye Qing was worried about what Aunt Zhang would say when talking to people in the living room, but she still couldn't prevent it. Originally, Ye Qing was trying to comfort Xu Xiaoyue, but Aunt Zhang's words were just adding fuel to the fire. Ye Qing was so angry that she quickly glanced at Aunt Zhang and gave her a meaningful look.

Aunt Zhang realized what was happening, swallowed awkwardly, and then turned and went into her room.

Ye Qing was utterly helpless; this Sister-in-law Zhang was truly...

If she were just a nanny, that would be fine, but she just happens to be my own mother.

"Don't listen to her, maybe..." Although she was helpless and angry, Ye Qing knew that the most important thing at this time was to persuade Xu Xiaoyue. She was already annoyed enough. If she thought about other messy things, although she wouldn't collapse according to Xu Xiaoyue's personality, it would still be very worrying.

Seeing how nervous Ye Qing was, Xu Xiaoyue smiled reassuringly at her: "It's alright, Aunt Zhang didn't say anything."

"She didn't say anything after that, she..."

Xu Xiaoyue said, "What she said cannot be denied, after all, it is a possible thing. Judging from Liu Yuliang's mother's current attitude, although it may not seem like she favors boys over girls, her actions are actually the opposite."

Indeed, although what Aunt Zhang said was not very appropriate, Ye Qing had to admit that it was possible.

What saddened her was that Xu Xiaoyue saw things too clearly.

Ye Qing herself is a very insightful person, but it is precisely because she is a very insightful person that she knows that sometimes being too insightful can be very painful.

Just like Xu Xiaoyue now.

So even though Ye Qing knew that what Zhang Sao said was possible and very likely to happen, and Xu Xiaoyue herself did not deny it, Ye Qing would not continue on the topic of "preferring sons to daughters" because it would not solve any problems and would only increase Xu Xiaoyue's troubles.

But in the end, Ye Qing realized that all she could say to Xu Xiaoyue was the same sentence over and over again: "You have to believe that Liu Yuliang can handle his mother's affairs."

However, the more you talk about it, the more you realize that this statement is rather weak.

Xu Xiaoyue had long been prepared to let these things drag on, as it was impossible to resolve them immediately. She had kept them bottled up inside, but after talking to Ye Qing, she felt much better.

After Xu Xiaoyue left, Aunt Zhang came out of her room, not daring to look at Ye Qing. She timed her departure and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook, starting to think about what to have for dinner.

Ye Qing called out to Zhang Sao.

Aunt Zhang knew why Ye Qing had stopped her, but she felt that what she had said was inappropriate, though it was the truth.

Ye Qing was extremely helpless: "Now you know what happened with Grandma Xi Quan, right? Your words weren't the main point, but they were a trigger. Some things are better left unsaid. Why did you have to say them?"

"I was thinking that you and Xu Xiaoyue have a very good relationship..."

“We do have a very good relationship, but it’s precisely because we have a good relationship that I don’t want to see her sad. Sometimes, saying things yourself has a different effect than saying them to others; it might be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.” Ye Qing said very seriously.

Actually, judging from Xu Xiaoyue's attitude, she knew about it, but she didn't say anything because she couldn't imagine what would happen if she gave birth to a daughter.

The current situation is already overwhelming enough; thinking about other things will only make things more painful.

After being reprimanded by Ye Qing, Aunt Zhang felt a little guilty. Seeing that Ye Qing was no longer going to say anything, she quickly went to the kitchen.

Ye Qing was naturally worried about Xu Xiaoyue, but given the current situation, there was little he could do. After a long silence, he sighed deeply and decided to find something else to do to distract himself.

Finally, I remembered what Xiaoyue had come to talk to her about.

The person arguing with Ye Shuang in Ye Shuang's office was Jiang Xinya's stepmother. Xu Xiaoyue said that because the door was closed and the office was well soundproofed, she couldn't hear what they were arguing about.

However, Ye Qing knew this because Xi Quan had told her a little about it back then.

Since Ye Shuang has already started helping him resolve Jiang Xinya's issues, Ye Qing wants to be more proactive as well. However, going public isn't something that can be achieved simply by being proactive.

However, we can start preparing for the listing in advance, such as completely resolving Jiang Xinya's issue.

After making up her mind, Ye Qing called Ye Shuang and arranged to meet the next day.

Upon seeing Ye Shuang, Ye Qing asked directly, "I heard that you have already found Jiang Xinya's stepmother, Yuwen Yan."

Ye Shuang did not deny it.

Xi Quan and Ye Qing said that Jiang Xinya's stepmother, Yuwen Yan, had a very close relationship with a male actor from a rival company of Ye Shuang's company, and Ye Shuang had evidence of this.

Therefore, Ye Qing guessed that Ye Shuang used this incident to threaten Jiang Xinya's stepmother, getting her to resolve Jiang Xinya's matter.

After hearing Ye Qing talk about Jiang Xinya's stepmother, Ye Shuang knew that Ye Qing knew everything, so she stopped hiding it: "Indeed, I did threaten her with this matter, and she agreed to help me resolve the issue between Jiang Xinya and Li Yeming."

Ye Qing also heard Xi Quan mention something else: the child Yuwen Yan gave birth to a couple of years ago was not Jiang Xinya's father's late-life child, but rather the man with whom she had a close relationship. Ye Qing was unsure whether Ye Shuang knew about this, so she didn't say anything for the time being, but instead told Ye Shuang about her solution.

After hearing Ye Qing's words, Ye Shuang was incredulous and stammered for a long time before finally managing to say, "Ye Qing, you... Ye Qing... are you serious?"

Ye Qing nodded: "Since I came to you, it's naturally because I've thought it through carefully."

"You..." Ye Shuang was quite surprised.

Ye Qing wasn't in a hurry. She asked Ye Shuang, "You threatened Jiang Xinya's stepmother to help you resolve Jiang Xinya's matter. How do you plan to get her to resolve it?"

Ye Shuang said, "The reason Jiang Xinya insists on recognizing Li Yeming as her father is because her father dotes on his youngest son, the child Yuwen Yan had a couple of years ago. He plans to leave all the family's money to his son. Jiang Xinya knows she won't get a penny from her father, so she wants to cling to Li Yeming. I asked Yuwen Yan to persuade Jiang Xinya's father to leave some money for her."

"That's a good idea, but how long do you think the little bit of leverage you have can threaten Jiang Xinya's stepmother?" Ye Qing asked Ye Shuang. "Since her stepmother has been able to keep it from Jiang Xinya's family for so long, it proves that she has some skills. What if you really push her too far and she joins forces with Jiang Xinya?"

Seeing Ye Shuang's thoughtful expression, Ye Qing said, "Your method not only threatened Jiang Xinya's stepmother, but also made her share some of the money with Jiang Xinya. Isn't that like tearing her flesh out? Be careful, things can backfire."
