When Dalson received Ye Qing's call, he was extremely busy and full of resentment. He wanted to complain, but he couldn't find anyone to listen to him. In Nancheng, Dalson was a complete outsider.
Although he is the kind of person who can easily make friends, Dalson became a tool the moment he boarded the plane to Nancheng, and he was likely to do things for no reward. So he had no time or energy to make friends. Now, because of Jiang Xinya's matter, Dalson is even busier.
So receiving Ye Qing's call now was a huge relief for him; he was eager to vent his frustrations.
Although she had made an appointment with the lawyer, Ye Qing arranged to meet Dalson at her own studio because she was worried that he might arrive early if things went smoothly.
Not long after Ye Qing arrived at the studio, Dalson arrived.
The studio here mainly does high-end custom-made products, so the people who come here generally have a higher spending power. Therefore, Ye Qing had someone specially prepare high-quality coffee beans for the studio.
Having known Dalson for quite some time, Ye Qing knew what Dalson liked, so he specially prepared freshly ground coffee for him.
So when Dalson arrived and smelled the coffee, he exaggeratedly said he almost cried.
"I really don't want to stay in South City for another day..." Just saying that didn't seem to express the anger in his heart, so Dalson said another curse word he had learned after coming to South City.
Having said everything, Dalson finally felt a little better. As he picked up his coffee to moisten his throat, he belatedly realized something: "Ye Qing, I'm not saying this because I dislike your hometown, Nancheng, but because there's been too much messy stuff happening here."
Ye Qing smiled and said she understood, then changed the subject, pretending to be very concerned about her friend, and asked, "The New Year is coming soon, so even if something is going on, you should put it aside. Why are you still so busy?"
"Sigh, it's all because of Jiang Xinya's matter!" Dalson didn't hide anything from Jiang Xinya, and couldn't wait to tell her everything on his mind: "I consulted a lawyer, and he said that Jiang Xinya's matter is very complicated, and it can't be entirely blamed on that pregnant woman. Moreover, the pregnant woman is unwilling and is asking for a large sum of money."
Although it was only a few words, Ye Qing knew everything he wanted to know.
It's not hard to understand why Xu Ying would ask for money.
Although Ye Qing wasn't sure if Xu Ying initially wanted a child, now that things had come to this point, keeping the child would actually be her protective charm. So, if Xu Ying's health didn't suffer any unexpected events, she would definitely give birth to the child.
Xu Ying had barely attended school, let alone acquired any skills, so how she would live after she was free was a problem. It was easier for her to manage on her own before, but now she had a child, so it was understandable that she would ask for money.
Ye Qing pretended not to know anything and asked Dalson, "Since you need money, your boss isn't short of money. He can just give the money to Xu Ying. Why are you making things difficult? It's not like you're the one paying."
“It’s not my money, so of course I’m not bothered. I was hoping to get it over with as soon as possible after she took the money. But before the police finished their investigation, this huge sum of money suddenly appeared in the bank account of that Xu Ying, and I can’t even count it.”
Ye Qing thought about it and agreed. If the police found out, it would be tantamount to confirming that Jiang Xinya was the one who did everything.
However, this did give Ye Qing an idea.
Ye Qing asked Dalson, "Who said we can't give them the money now? Was it the lawyer? Or did Xu Ying herself not want it?"
“The lawyer didn’t say, but he meant that while there are risks, it’s not impossible. My boss thinks we need to be careful and wants my lawyer to discuss it with us to see if there are any other options.” Dalson scratched his head in frustration. “I think even the lawyer is getting annoyed. Although I can’t see Jiang Xinya, from the few times the lawyer has had with her, he says Jiang Xinya is out of options because it’s obvious that Xu Ying and that old lady were all instigated by her. With the lawyer saying that, what can I do?”
After hearing what Dalson said, Ye Qing suddenly had an idea.
While silently pondering what to do about the situation, he also had to echo Dilson's continued complaints.
Finally, seeing that Dalson had finished speaking, Ye Qing asked a pointed question: "So you haven't reached an agreement with Xu Ying yet?"
“If things don’t go well, it’s almost Chinese New Year, and I heard they’ll file a lawsuit after the New Year, then it’ll be too late. So we’ve already reached an agreement, and the money has been given to Xu Ying.” At this moment, Dalson seemed to suddenly realize something, glanced at Ye Qing, smiled, and said, “I can’t say anything more.”
Ye Qing expressed her understanding: "Don't worry, I understand. I won't ask. Besides, I don't care about Jiang Xinya's affairs. You know, we have a lot of conflicts."
Ye Qing didn't ask, and he understood that this made Dalson much more relaxed, and he chatted with Ye Qing for quite a while longer.
However, what followed was all idle chatter with no real focus.
Ye Qing already knew enough about what he needed to know, and he wouldn't keep trying to trick Dalson into revealing information. If Dalson found out, it would be awkward for the two of them to be together.
So Ye Qing went along with Dalson's idle chatter and started talking to him.
However, the two did not chat for long, because Ye Qing's lawyer, who had been waiting for her, arrived after finishing his business.
When Dalson saw that Ye Qing had friends over, he left first. He had come to Ye Qing to complain, but it was just a quick break from his busy schedule, as he himself was also very busy.
Ye Qing originally arranged to meet with the lawyer so that he could see Xu Ying and give her his advice. However, after hearing what Dalson said, Ye Qing changed her mind. She came up with a way to avoid getting too involved in this matter.
But now that the lawyer was here, Ye Qing couldn't remain silent. So she briefly explained Xu Ying's situation to the lawyer and asked if it would be acceptable for her to represent her in meeting Xu Ying as Xu Ying's agent.
Because this lawyer had been working with Ye Qing's studio for many years, and the studio usually encountered copyright disputes or economic disputes, rarely involving criminal matters, this lawyer was not actually an expert in these areas. However, being a lawyer, he still gave Ye Qing a brief explanation.
Ye Qing then realized that even if she had no other choice, it wouldn't be easy or simple for a lawyer to see Xu Ying. Although Xu Ying and Ye Qing were relatives, no one had come to see Ye Qing since Xu Ying had been in jail for so long. Either Xu Ying had found a lawyer herself, or she had received legal aid, or she didn't have a lawyer at all.
Because Ye Qing is not a direct relative, there are some things that are inconvenient for her to handle.
Since he had already thought of other solutions, Ye Qing said no after hearing what the lawyer said, and then said some polite things like, "Thank you for making the special trip."
