When Aunt Zhang heard Ye Qing say that, she was a little surprised. Her eyes flashed with the question, "Didn't you forgive me?"
Ye Qing did accept Zhang Sao, but that doesn't mean she would stop expressing her dissatisfaction with Zhang Sao in the future; she would still do so.
So when Ye Qing saw that after she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang still looked aggrieved, even more aggrieved than before, Ye Qing became even angrier.
“Neither Huang Fei nor I are the kind of people who like to talk about how much we’ve suffered. After all, there’s no point in talking about it, and it would just make us sound like Xianglin’s wife…” Ye Qing paused here, then looked at Zhang Sao: “You know what Xianglin’s wife means, right?”
Although Zhang Sao didn't answer, Ye Qing could tell from her expression that Zhang Sao knew what she meant by "Xianglin's Wife".
Now that she knew, Ye Qing didn't bother to explain. She continued, "We didn't say how hard we had worked in the past, so you don't need to always act so aggrieved in front of us, as if Huang Fei and I were some kind of traitor."
"I didn't, I didn't..." Aunt Zhang felt that the word "outrageous" was too serious, so she quickly waved her hand.
Ye Qing chuckled self-deprecatingly and remained silent.
Because although Aunt Zhang seemed to be explaining, the aggrieved look on her face was even more obvious than before.
Perhaps she genuinely didn't realize it; after all, no one holds a mirror to look at themselves while speaking, so it's difficult to clearly see one's own expression when speaking.
However, Ye Qing could assume that the grievances Zhang Sao displayed were not intentional. Even so, it did not mean that Ye Qing accepted having to endure Zhang Sao's aggrieved expression every time he spoke.
Huang Fei picked up where Ye Qing left off, sneered, and said, "You say you don't, but you haven't calmed down at all. You still look aggrieved. To be honest, I'd like to ask you how you manage to always look aggrieved when others are talking to you. Tell me so I can learn from you. It will help me when I'm acting in the future."
When Huang Fei said these things, she gave the impression that she and Ye Qing were indeed twins.
Because in the past, such sarcastic remarks were only heard from Ye Qing, and rarely from Huang Fei.
Ye Qing and Huang Fei didn't feel anything, but Xi Quan and Zhang Sao's feelings were very obvious. Xi Quan subconsciously glanced at Ye Qing.
Although Aunt Zhang felt very uncomfortable after hearing Huang Fei's words, she felt that there must be a reason for Huang Fei's unusual behavior. She cautiously looked at Huang Fei, and suddenly thought of something. She stammered and asked Huang Fei, "After Ye Qing went out this afternoon, it was just the two of us at home. I think I heard you receive a phone call. Did something happen? If something is bothering you, it's okay to take it out on me, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huang Fei interrupted Zhang Sao, who was being self-righteous: "Listen to what you're saying. Don't you feel anything? All you're saying is that you think I'm being unreasonable. You have no problem at all."
"I..." To be honest, Aunt Zhang was really confused. She couldn't figure out how she had offended Huang Fei. She felt wronged because she was just thinking about having a New Year's Eve dinner with her two daughters, but how did she get so angry while talking?
Seeing Zhang Sao's hesitant expression, Huang Fei smiled self-deprecatingly, stood up, and walked out, saying, "Sorry, you guys eat, I'll be going now."
Ye Qing could tell that Huang Fei also disliked Zhang Sao's constant aggrieved look, so Ye Qing could understand Huang Fei's expression of dissatisfaction.
However, as they talked, Huang Fei seemed to get even angrier, and Ye Qing vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Everything was fine before Aunt Zhang mentioned the New Year's dinner, and Huang Fei even helped Aunt Zhang prepare the meal.
Why are you suddenly so angry?!
Even if Huang Fei was just unintentionally hurt by Zhang Sao's words, Ye Qing felt she should care about Huang Fei. So she handed Xi Yike, whom she was holding, to Xi Quan and then chased after Huang Fei.
Huang Fei had already opened the car door and gotten in. Seeing that he was about to leave, Ye Qing ran a few steps and got into the car with Huang Fei.
After turning off the car, Huang Fei turned to look at Ye Qing sitting in the passenger seat and said softly, "I'm fine, you can go back and eat."
At first, Ye Qing may not have realized that there was anything wrong with what Huang Fei said, but in the short time he had been chasing after Huang Fei, Ye Qing had already realized what was going on.
Hearing Huang Fei say this, Ye Qing pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "If there was nothing wrong, you wouldn't have spoken so harshly or made sarcastic remarks. If I had heard what you said today, it wouldn't have been strange, but it's a bit surprising to hear it from you."
After speaking, Ye Qing turned to look at Huang Fei, waiting for Huang Fei's reply.
Huang Fei gripped the steering wheel with both hands, looking ahead.
Although Ye Qing couldn't see Huang Fei's expression, he noticed that Huang Fei was lost in thought after he finished speaking and didn't say a word. Ye Qing knew that Huang Fei really had something on his mind.
Remembering something Aunt Zhang had just said, Ye Qing asked her, "She said you received a phone call this afternoon? Whose call was it? Whose business was it?"
Huang Fei blinked, then looked away from Ye Qing and asked, "You also think I'm using her as a punching bag?"
Ye Qing shook her head: "I don't like the way she always looks wronged when she talks, and I know you don't either. But if I had to say something, I would say the same thing. To put it bluntly, even if we took our anger out on her back then, was that wrong?"
Huang Fei swallowed hard, feeling a little regretful for asking Ye Qing that question earlier.
Actually, Ye Qing didn't care about Huang Fei's attitude when he spoke to her earlier. He shook his head and said, "Although I have accepted Aunt Zhang from the bottom of my heart, it doesn't mean that I can get along with her."
After all, she was the one who didn't want us. I just accepted the fact that she was our biological mother. Although we didn't grow up together, it's probably because of our similar experiences and the fact that we're twins. If we're talking about closeness, I feel that blood-related closeness with you. And I think I empathize with some of your thoughts about her. So I came to find you simply because I care about you.
Ye Qing felt that what she said was a bit sentimental, but Huang Fei still didn't say anything. It wasn't that Ye Qing wanted to find out Huang Fei's secrets, but rather that Ye Qing's own experience showed that it was much more comfortable to say things out loud than to keep them to herself.
Some things, if kept inside, might feel like an insurmountable obstacle, but once spoken aloud, they seem to be no big deal after all.
