Yang Zi wasn't too disappointed by Jiang Xinya's direct demand for money. As far as Yang Zi was concerned, she wasn't thinking about paying back the money anyway, so whether Jiang Xinya asked for money or not was irrelevant to her.
But it was annoying if Jiang Xinya kept coming to see her for no reason, so Yang Zi gave Jiang Xinya some advice: "I've already spent the money, I told you that a long time ago. Now you're asking me for money, I really don't have any."
Jiang Xinya glanced at Yang Zi, as if to say, "Don't waste your breath if you don't have a good solution."
Yang Zi smiled and said, "You're still young and impatient. Didn't you say before that Xi Quan has an ex-wife?"
Jiang Xinya had been hoping Yang Zi would come up with some good ideas, so she strained her ears, hoping to hear something helpful.
Who knew that Yang Zi was referring to Xu Ying again? Jiang Xinya scoffed disdainfully: "I mentioned Xu Ying to Ye Qing before, but she didn't care at all. Actually, thinking about it, it makes sense. When did Xi Quan and his ex-wife get divorced? Men, who would still think about the past? Besides, Xu Ying is working at a nightclub now. If I were Ye Qing, I wouldn't worry about my husband's ex-wife either."
Yang Zi laughed: "You're still young. All you think about is love and romance. Putting aside your low character, what kind of revenge can you possibly take against Ye Qing like this? Everyone can see what Xi Quan's feelings for Ye Qing are. Ordinary methods are completely useless."
Although Jiang Xinya was quite unhappy with Yang Zi's words that mocked her age, she gradually became more interested after hearing what Yang Zi said next. She asked Yang Zi, "What are you trying to say?"
Yang Zi smiled mysteriously at Jiang Xinya, then whispered a few words in Jiang Xinya's ear.
Jiang Xinya listened attentively at first, but the more she listened, the more uneasy she became, and finally she started sweating: "This won't do, will it?"
"Is it your business whether it works or not? You're just stirring things up from the sidelines. What happens afterward is beyond your control. Besides, even if your current magazine doesn't ask you to pay back the money, let me ask you, are you willing to just let go of the grudges between you and Ye Qing like this?"
Yang Zi glanced at Jiang Xinya, deliberately stopped, picked up her teacup, took a sip of water, and then took the opportunity to observe Jiang Xinya discreetly with the cup before slowly speaking again: "Why did you leave Nancheng back then? Because of the apology statement you published at your original magazine, plus the magazine you work for now... Of course, you've already resigned, but regardless of whether you resigned or not, the fact that the magazine is demanding you repay the money is still true, right? With these two things combined, it's impossible for you to continue working in fashion magazines in the future. After all, these two stains are highly taboo in any workplace."
Jiang Xinya was somewhat swayed by Yang Zi's words. She blinked, looked at Yang Zi, and wanted to ask her something, but hesitated and didn't ask.
Although she didn't ask, Yang Zi clearly saw through her hesitant expression.
Yang Zi had perhaps been waiting for Jiang Xinya's attitude at this moment. She smiled slightly: "Back then, you left Nancheng because of your apology letter, which made it impossible for you to continue in this industry. Now you..."
Jiang Xinya interrupted Yang Zi: "It was indeed because of Ye Qing back then. I have never hidden my dissatisfaction with Ye Qing, but this time... Yang Zi, I know what it means to have a grievance and a debtor. This matter has nothing to do with Ye Qing. I will not let Ye Qing off the hook, but don't try to shift the blame."
Yang Zi chuckled: "Yes, you gave me all the kickbacks you got from the magazine's advertising clients this time. But Jiang Xinya, this was supposed to be a secret between you, me, and everyone else. How did it get out to others?"
Jiang Xinya was casually flipping through a magazine on Yang Zi's coffee table when she heard Yang Zi's words. She slammed the magazine shut and stared at Yang Zi with narrowed eyes, scrutinizing her: "What do you mean? Are you saying that Yang Zi is also involved in this matter?"
"I can't say whether there's a connection or not right now, but I know that Ye Qing has a good relationship with your magazine's boss in Nancheng, Dalson, and your magazine's fashion editors also have a good working relationship with Ye Qing's studio. Although what we do is very secretive, don't forget that when your magazine asked Ye Qing's studio to take photos, you didn't ask for any money. How can you guarantee that Ye Qing doesn't know any of the other advertising clients?"
Jiang Xinya seemed to be persuaded by Yang Zi and began to think about whether Ye Qing had anything to do with the kickback incident.
Yang Zi felt relieved and happy as she watched Jiang Xinya shift her focus from money to suspicion of Ye Qing.
It seems we can still take advantage of Jiang Xinya, this fool.
Use her to deal with Ye Qing.
Ye Qing had no idea what schemes Yang Zi and Jiang Xinya had plotted. As for whether Li Yeming wanted to terminate the contract, Ye Qing didn't care for the time being because it was time for her routine prenatal checkup.
Xi Quan made a special trip to the hospital with Ye Qing.
After the routine blood tests and other procedures were completed, it was time for the ultrasound. Since Ye Qing had seen a doctor at the outpatient clinic and the doctor had given her the order for the test, there were many people in front of the ultrasound room.
Looking at the long queue, Ye Qing and Xi Quan were anxious but also somewhat helpless, and could only wait.
Because Ye Qing had been hospitalized earlier for pregnancy preservation and had been at this hospital, she had continued to have her prenatal checkups here as well, so she didn't consider private hospitals. The doctors here are very good, but there are just too many people.
Today, Ye Qing came for a checkup and needed to have her blood drawn. She had to fast before the blood draw, so she had her blood drawn first. After that, she ate something before coming for the ultrasound. So when Ye Qing arrived, there was already a long line in front of her.
Because almost everyone here comes with a prescription from the outpatient clinic, and some of them are already feeling unwell, and having to wait can make them a little impatient.
What's even more frustrating is that the person who went in for the checkup earlier has been in there for quite a while and hasn't come out yet. That would have been fine, but as we waited, people started arguing inside the testing room.
Judging from the arguing, the person inside was probably a pregnant woman having a routine prenatal checkup. The woman's family wanted to know if the baby was a boy or a girl, but the doctor wouldn't tell them. Instead, the doctor pointed to a sign on the wall that fetal sex determination was not performed unless there was a specific legal requirement.
However, the pregnant woman's family insisted on hearing the doctor's explanation.
Ye Qing glanced helplessly at Xi Quan, who also looked quite helpless as he twitched the corner of his mouth.
Originally, the two of them didn't have much emotion other than helplessness. After all, the hospital is where you can see all walks of life, and childbirth is where you can see human nature clearly.
However, when Ye Qing and Xi Quan saw the people being pulled out of the hospital by security guards, they were both stunned.
