Ye Qing was surprised to see Li Yeming in the elevator. Although they knew each other, Ye Shuang had already come and mentioned Li Yeming's attitude, so Ye Qing didn't think Li Yeming was there to see her.
After exchanging greetings, she didn't say anything more. After all, she had just given birth and undergone such a major surgery, and Ye Qing's body was very weak, which was impossible to hide. You could tell from her condition, and she had been very emotional while talking to Aunt Zhang.
But just as Ye Qing was silent, Li Yeming spoke first: "I was originally thinking of asking the nurse which ward you would be staying in, but I didn't expect to run into you like this. What a coincidence."
Hearing Li Yeming say that, Ye Qing, who was sitting in a wheelchair, slowly raised her head to look at Li Yeming, quite surprised: "You came to see me?"
It's no wonder Ye Qing was surprised. Not to mention Ye Qing, even Xu Xiaoyue, who didn't have much contact with Li Yeming, could sense Li Yeming's personality from their limited interactions. So even Xu Xiaoyue was surprised, let alone Ye Qing.
Li Yeming was quite embarrassed by Ye Qing's question, and forced a smile: "You're surprised I came to see you?"
Ye Qing chuckled softly: "What do you think?"
Instead of giving a direct answer, she threw the question back at Li Yeming. Li Yeming's embarrassment became more and more obvious. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he unconsciously raised his hand to smooth his hair, which was not messy.
Seeing this, Ye Qing didn't say much. Since Li Yeming was willing to put aside her senior status to come to her, it meant that she had something to say, so she must have a lot to say next. Ye Qing thought that she should save her energy first.
After all, it wouldn't look good if they started arguing in the elevator.
She fell silent, and Li Yeming was even more speechless, as the current situation was truly incredibly awkward.
Ye Qing, Xu Xiaoyue, and Li Yeming returned to Ye Qing's hospital room in silence. As soon as the door closed, Li Yeming didn't even ask about Ye Qing's post-surgery condition, but went straight to the point: "Ye Qing, Xi Yue came to me today saying she wants to split up the studio with me. Is this your idea or Xi Yue's own? If it's Xi Yue's own idea, you should talk to her properly. How can you be so ungrateful? She's where she is today entirely because of my help..."
Knowing that Li Yeming hadn't come to see her simply, Ye Qing was honestly surprised when she heard that Xi Yue had taken the initiative to split up the studio.
However, none of this was as impactful as Li Yeming's attitude.
Before Li Yeming could finish her "accusation," Ye Qing interrupted him: "Xi Yue, you're crossing the river and then burning the bridge. Do you have some misunderstanding about what 'crossing the river and then burning the bridge' means?"
Ye Qing no longer showed the respect she used to have for Li Yeming, who was an elder.
After all, Li Yeming's current attitude is really not respectable.
"I..." Li Yeming herself didn't realize whether her attitude was good or bad, but she was particularly sensitive to Ye Qing's different attitude towards her than before: "Ye Qing, why are you talking to me like that?"
Indeed, Ye Qing used to always speak kindly and gently to Li Yeming, discussing things with him and sometimes even coaxing him.
Even though they mentioned terminating their contract with Zitai Fashion some time ago, Ye Qing was angry, but she still showed great restraint.
Ye Qing was no longer as restrained as before, and his tone was somewhat sarcastic. Actually, you can't blame Ye Qing. After all, Ye Qing had just come back from the brink of death. At this time, anyone who wasn't an enemy would have asked him a few words of concern since they were at the hospital.
Even if it's just feigned concern, most people would still ask a question or two.
However, Li Yeming did not, and his tone was almost commanding. Ye Qing was still recovering and feeling terrible, so how could she continue to consider Li Yeming's feelings?
Under Li Yeming's surprised gaze, Ye Qing coolly retorted, "Then what attitude do you think I should have towards you?"
Another rhetorical question, but Li Yeming was stumped by Ye Qing's question and remained speechless.
After a long silence, she finally stammered, "I am..."
Ye Qing didn't give Li Yeming a chance to speak: "I only heard about Xi Yue wanting to split up your studio now, at this very moment. I didn't know anything about it before, but even if I did know now, I wouldn't say anything. After all, if Xi Yue really did this, she must have her reasons. And Sister Li, I have to correct you. When Xi Yue first invested in your studio, although she didn't manage anything and just took a share of the profits, it wasn't you helping her, it was her helping you. At that time, your shop couldn't even afford to pay the rent, let alone pay salaries. Xi Yue was a lifesaver for you. So if you really like the phrase 'crossing the river and then burning the bridge,' then you are the one who crossed the river and then burned the bridge."
Li Yeming swallowed hard, furious at Ye Qing's words and wanting to refute them, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything, because what Ye Qing said was true.
"So you also agree with Xi Yue splitting up the studio?" Li Yeming couldn't help but ask in the end.
"I said, even if we have to split up, that's Xi Yue's prerogative." Ye Qing wasn't very impatient, after all, she really needed to rest right now. Although her tone was very firm, her voice was genuinely weak.
Although it was Li Yeming who first brought up the idea of ending the cooperation, it was actually Li Yeming who truly cared. He said he was going to stop cooperating, but he had no confidence at all about whether they could still make money like they did now. He was even panicked.
However, Ye Qing and Xi Yue were not worried. Besides being wealthy themselves, they also knew that Zitai Fashion did not rely on Li Yeming's studio to make money, but Li Yeming did rely on Zitai Fashion to make money.
Or rather, making money with Ye Qing's help.
Taizi Fashion is a large company, and it doesn't really care much about Li Yeming's studio. The current scale of Li Yeming's studio is entirely due to Ye Qing's initiative in helping him, so Li Yeming really can't afford to lose.
Originally, Li Yeming was planning to use his seniority to ask Ye Shuang to pass on a message to Ye Qing, but when Xi Yue told her about splitting up the studio, Li Yeming panicked completely and had to put aside his pride to come to Ye Qing.
I thought things would turn around, but I didn't expect Ye Qing's attitude to be so tough!
Li Yeming panicked even more, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to get Ye Qing to compromise. After a long while, Li Yeming still couldn't come up with a good solution. She said, "I still stand by what I said: splitting up is fine, but I want to take back the 'Jin' trademark."
Ye Qing remained noncommittal, "Okay, then you should find a lawyer in advance and go to court against Xi Yue."
To be honest, if Li Yeming had said this before, Ye Qing might not have been as confident as she is now, because Ye Qing could sense that Xi Yue didn't actually want to keep the Jin trademark in her hands. The reason she hadn't expressed her opinion was because Xi Quan had reminded her.
Now that Xi Yue has taken the initiative to tell Li Yeming that the studio is being split up, Ye Qing no longer has this worry, although Ye Qing is not very clear why Xi Yue suddenly became so resolute towards Li Yeming.
