Ye Qing had just been discharged from the hospital and arrived home when trouble came knocking on her door.
Moreover, this whole mess was brought about by Dilson.
Ye Qing was abroad when she gave birth to Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin. People abroad don't have the concept of postpartum confinement. Moreover, Ye Qing was busy with her studies at the time, so it was impossible for her to have postpartum confinement.
For Ye Qing at that time, postpartum confinement was a luxury.
Because of her previous experience, Ye Qing didn't place as much importance on postpartum care this time, but Xi Quan and the nanny he hired to help with postpartum care took it very seriously.
In particular, Xi Quan always wanted to make up for Ye Qing's past hardships. Although Ye Qing said that the past is the past, Xi Quan would not pretend that nothing had happened.
So when Ye Qing first received Dalson's call asking her to meet up, she refused, as she couldn't go out right now.
But Dalson seemed very persistent, saying that he would go find Ye Qing instead.
When Ye Qing heard that Dalson had made an appointment with her and insisted on meeting her, she was quite surprised. Although she and Dalson had a good relationship and were considered friends when they were abroad, it was rare for Dalson to seem so anxious. Moreover, judging from his tone, he must have something to say to Ye Qing.
After thinking about it, Ye Qing decided not to refuse to meet with Dalson anymore and let him come to her.
Ye Shuang happened to be there when Dalson arrived. Considering Xi Quan's petty attitude, Ye Qing didn't let Ye Shuang leave.
Ye Shuang naturally knew Dalson's identity. She felt that Ye Qing's refusal to let her leave was because Ye Qing was afraid of embarrassing her, and it was Ye Qing's magnanimity. She couldn't be tactless, so she thought she should take her leave first.
However, Ye Qing gave him a look indicating that he didn't need to leave, and Dalson didn't seem to care much since there were other people with Ye Qing.
Since Dalson didn't seem to care, Ye Shuang figured there was no need for her to avoid suspicion, so she held the child and played with Xi Yike.
Ye Qing knew that Dilson must have something to ask him from his insistence on meeting him, but he was genuinely surprised by what Dilson said: "What do you want me to do?"
"I didn't do anything special. I just wanted you to appear as a witness when Jiang Xinya's case goes to trial to prove that Jiang Xinya was being used."
After hearing Dalson explain his purpose for coming to see him again, Ye Qing was stunned for a long time.
Besides her, Ye Shuang was also caught off guard.
Ye Shuang had already handed Xi Yike over to the nanny and let the nanny coax her to sleep, as she had been in a daze for a long time.
However, since Dalson came to see Ye Qing and was talking to Ye Qing about this matter, Ye Shuang was quite surprised, but she didn't show it too obviously.
Dalson didn't pay attention to Ye Shuang's emotions; he had been focused on Ye Qing. Seeing Ye Qing's surprised and even shocked expression, he couldn't help but explain, "This isn't something I wanted to do. I'm conveying this request to you on behalf of someone else."
Ye Qing swallowed hard, glanced at Dalson, and then exchanged a look with Ye Shuang, who was equally surprised. Ye Qing asked Dalson, "If I remember correctly, your magazine didn't hold back when it came to Jiang Xinya's kickbacks to advertising clients. Now, what Jiang Xinya did might involve criminal charges, and she has resigned from your magazine. Why are you protecting someone like that?"
Furthermore, you should know what Jiang Xinya did. I can't testify for you. Although you are also my friend, Xu Xiaoyue, the biggest victim in Jiang Xinya's case, is a friend who has gone through thick and thin with me. My relationship with you is not enough for me to abandon Xiaoyue.
"And Dilson, you know me, I won't do anything against my principles."
Dalson scratched his hair in frustration. "I didn't ask you to do much. When Jiang Xinya's case goes to trial, just say you didn't know anything. I've asked a lawyer, and Jiang Xinya's stepmother wants her to stay in there forever."
Ye Qing didn't quite understand Dalson's thoughts, but when Dalson mentioned Jiang Xinya's stepmother, Ye Qing could understand the woman's thinking. Although everything Jiang Xinya's stepmother was doing now wasn't at Ye Qing and Ye Shuang's behest, but purely based on her relationship with Jiang Xinya, she was doing it to protect her own interests.
However, Ye Qing did know that Jiang Xinya was her stepmother, so he subconsciously glanced at Ye Shuang again.
Ye Shuang gently shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing.
Even if Ye Shuang didn't say anything, Ye Qing knew that Ye Shuang hadn't done anything. After all, Ye Shuang wasn't the same person she used to be. There was no need for Ye Shuang to get involved in Jiang Xinya's matter. It had nothing to do with her in the first place, and it was something that would only bring harm and no benefit.
Seeing Dalson's troubled expression, Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "What Jiang Xinya's stepmother's attitude is their private matter. It's not appropriate for others to say or do anything."
Although Delse was a foreigner and, apart from being a little better at Chinese, didn't know much about many things in Nancheng, he could tell from Ye Qing's words that Ye Qing didn't actually want to get involved in this matter.
Thinking about it, it's understandable. If Dale hadn't been forced into this situation, he wouldn't have bothered with all this messy stuff. But since he'd come to find Ye Qing, Daleson didn't want to leave empty-handed.
So Dalson thought for a moment and said to Ye Qing, "If you help me, it won't be without any benefits."
Ye Qing blinked and looked at Dalson. Although Ye Qing really didn't intend to help Dalson, he knew that Dalson wouldn't leave until he finished speaking, so he listened quietly, wanting to see what he could say.
"If you help Jiang Xinya, and her grandmother wins the inheritance battle, it will also benefit your career."
Ye Qing suddenly realized why Dalson had come to find him.
During this time of postpartum confinement at home, I almost forgot about what was happening outside. The fashion group headquarters to which Dalson's magazine belongs is currently embroiled in an inheritance battle, and Jiang Xinya's grandmother is one of the strong contenders.
If word got out that Jiang Xinya had gotten into a criminal case in Nancheng, her grandmother might lose. So she would definitely do everything she could to make sure Jiang Xinya was alright.
At this moment, Ye Shuang whispered, "Didn't I hear that Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother doesn't want to acknowledge her? Otherwise, she wouldn't have resigned from the magazine."
Dalson glanced at Ye Shuang but didn't say anything.
However, Ye Qing understood why, and also knew that Dalson was probably from Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother's side. He might not have directly contacted Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother, but he was on her side.
However, Ye Qing didn't care about those things. She first answered Ye Shuang's question: "Whether they acknowledge it or not, the blood relationship between Jiang Xinya and her maternal grandmother cannot be denied. If Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother's stepchildren knew about her situation, they would definitely not let it go."
