Xi Yue was deeply moved by Ye Qing's words, feeling that they made a lot of sense. However, she was still struggling to figure out how to resolve the issue.
However, since Ye Qing had taken the initiative to contact her today, and considering Ye Qing's words, Xi Yue seemed to suddenly understand: "Do you have a solution?"
Ye Qing was silent for a moment, then looked at Xi Yue: "I wouldn't call it a solution, but I think it could be used as a bargaining chip when you negotiate with Li Yeming, provided that this actually happens."
"It really happened?" Xi Yue had been listening intently, but Ye Qing was quite surprised to hear this. "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'really happened'? I'm currently discussing the splitting up of the studio with Sister Li. Isn't that something that has really happened?"
Shaking his head, Ye Qing said, "That's not what I meant."
Swallowing hard and organizing her thoughts, Ye Qing told Xi Yue about Jiang Xinya, including how Jiang Xinya's grandmother was fighting for the inheritance and how her grandmother had treated her before and after.
Xi Yue wasn't as clever as Ye Qing on some issues, but she wasn't stupid either. From Ye Qing's narration, she understood Ye Qing's main point: "You mean if Jiang Xinya pushes everything onto Li Yeming, I'll take the initiative to help her?"
Ye Qing nodded.
Although she understood Ye Qing's meaning, Xi Yue still had doubts: "But even if Jiang Xinya pushes everything onto Li Yeming, it's not that easy, right? After all, Li Yeming didn't do it at all."
"The police will eventually find out the truth, but during the investigation, Li Yeming might break down. You've worked with her for so long, you should know she's not the kind of person who can handle things. When I was working at her shop, Xu Ying caused a little trouble, and she thought it was too much trouble and was afraid she couldn't handle it, so she let me go."
Seeing that Xi Yue wanted to object, Ye Qing said, "I didn't think much of it when she asked me to leave. After all, anyone else might have done the same. You can't tell anything from a single incident. But now that we've known each other for a long time and spent more time together, I can figure things out. The police should have already found Li Yeming."
"You've already contacted her?" Xi Yue was a little surprised.
Ye Qing wasn't entirely sure, but she felt she was probably right, so she thought for a moment and shared her guess: "Shortly after I woke up from surgery last night, Ye Shuang came to see me. She knew I had given birth prematurely through Li Yeming, and she also mentioned some of Li Yeming's subtle criticisms of me in front of her. Ye Shuang understood Li Yeming's meaning; she knew he wanted to pass on a message to me through her. Ye Shuang came to see me because she wanted to know what had happened and told me what Li Yeming had said. At the time, I didn't think much of it, but now that I think about it, it must have been the police who contacted Li Yeming, otherwise she wouldn't have been so nervous, since she didn't know what Jiang Xinya had done."
“That’s a valid point, but after listening to what you’ve said, I don’t think Li Yeming is necessarily the one Jiang Xinya said. After all, if I were Jiang Xinya, I would be more convincing to say Yang Zi than Li Yeming.” Xi Yue gradually started to take Ye Qing’s words to heart and began to analyze the situation with him.
Ye Qing said, "Indeed, it's more convincing to say that Jiang Xinya blamed everything on Yang Zi and that Yang Zi was the person behind it all. But would Yang Zi really admit it? Of course not. It's unlikely that Yang Zi knew all of Jiang Xinya's plans. If she did, wouldn't she have asked Li Yeming to tell me to be careful?"
Therefore, judging from this, Yang Zi probably doesn't know everything, but she can guess some things. Moreover, most of the kickbacks Jiang Xinya received from the magazine did indeed go to Yang Zi. This alone makes Yang Zi highly suspicious, and she definitely wants to extricate herself. However, because she and Jiang Xinya do have a vested interest, completely distancing herself isn't realistic at this point. She can only try to involve more and more people in this matter. Since she's familiar with Li Yeming, and Li Yeming also has a connection with Jiang Xinya, Li Yeming becomes a suitable scapegoat.
Because she had thought about it for a long time, Ye Qing spoke in great detail. After she finished speaking, she added, "Of course, this is just my own idea. I was thinking about what I would do if I switched places with Yang Zi."
Yang Zi shifted all the blame onto Li Yeming. Besides questioning Li Yeming about the situation, the police would also definitely ask about the relationship between Jiang Xinya and Li Yeming. Even if Jiang Xinya wasn't smart, she would become smart in this situation for her own sake. If she realized something, she would follow Yang Zi's lead and push everything onto Li Yeming.
Although Jiang Xinya's conflict with Yang Zi is greater, if Jiang Xinya can't kill Yang Zi, then if all of Jiang Xinya's crimes are verified, she won't be able to get revenge. Therefore, getting revenge on Yang Zi is more important to Jiang Xinya. As for Li Yeming, Jiang Xinya doesn't necessarily have much so-called familial affection for her.
Xi Yue nodded: "I think I understand what you mean. I'll keep an eye on it and see how Li Yeming is doing. I'll make sure it's not like what we guessed, that Jiang Xinya pushed everything onto Li Yeming and then the police went to find Li Yeming again."
Although she understood Ye Qing's meaning, this was Xi Yue's first time negotiating on her own, and the matter was not insignificant, so Xi Yue was actually quite unsure of herself.
So after thinking for a moment, I asked Ye Qing, "What do you think I can compromise on when I talk to Sister Li about splitting up the business? Or what's my bottom line? Even if I helped Jiang Xinya when she slandered her, she might not compromise on the trademark issue, after all, she..."
It was Xi Yue who first suggested splitting up the studio, and seeing that Xi Yue also had a desire to be able to take charge on her own, Ye Qing didn't hesitate to share some of her experience with her.
"What was your original intention for starting a studio?" Ye Qing asked.
“I just felt that Sister Li wasn’t a good business partner.” Xi Yue thought for a moment and said, “But after all, she’s old enough to be a mother, so I’ve never gone so far as to take her to court.”
Hearing Xi Yue say this, Ye Qing understood. In fact, Ye Qing and Xi Yue had similar thoughts. To say that Li Yeming was a bad person was not really true. He was just not suitable as a partner. He was easily swayed and would readily deny his own ideas based on what others said.
Li Yeming himself may not be unaware of this, or perhaps he is aware, but at over fifty years old, it's not something he can simply change if he wants to.
Furthermore, Li Yeming has no way out, since losing his studio means losing his income.
It's pitiful for someone her age to have reached this point.
