Ye Qing stared at Xi Quan's back for a moment, then sat on the edge of the bed and stared in the direction of the bathroom.
When Xi Quan came out of the bathroom, he thought Ye Qing was already asleep, but to his surprise, his eyes met Ye Qing's.
There was a question in Ye Qing's eyes, and Xi Quan understood what it was.
To reiterate, Xi Quan didn't intend to hide it from Ye Qing, but things were just too troublesome, and Xi Quan didn't want Ye Qing to suffer along with him.
However, Ye Qing was clearly not at ease with his current state, and since he hadn't concealed his emotions well at the beginning, it was unlikely that anyone would believe him if he pretended to be nonchalant and unaffected now.
So Xi Quan took a deep breath, sighed softly, walked over to Ye Qing, sat down next to her, and turned to look at her.
Ye Qing also turned to look at Xi Quan: "What did Su Zhe say to you?"
He said he was thinking of getting Quan Zhen medical parole.
Ye Qing was slightly taken aback. She had initially thought that Su Zhe and Xi Quan were talking about Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin, and that the old man had taken the child away without saying a word because he was hiding something else from them. But Su Zhe knew, and he had also told Xi Quan.
Who knew it would turn out like this?
Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a moment before saying, "This might be hard for you to accept, but from Su Zhe's perspective, it's actually normal. After all, Quan Zhen is her biological mother, and it's understandable for him to do what he can for his biological mother, as long as it's legal."
In fact, what Xi Quan was really worried about was not Quan Zhen.
Because Quan Zhen's leg was actually not seriously injured; she was just pretending to be in a wheelchair before. Xi Quan was worried about Su Zhe, but Ye Qing obviously didn't realize anything.
Since that's the case, Xi Quan didn't intend to say anything more, and let Ye Qing continue to misunderstand.
Anyway, it's not a good thing. Xi Quan still thinks the same way: if he has any worries, he should just worry about them by himself. If Ye Qing doesn't know, then so be it.
So Xi Quan went along with Ye Qing's words: "Yes, I can understand, but you also know that I..."
"I know." Ye Qing hugged Xi Quan. "I understand, but I think you're worrying too much. Quan's leg is fake. Su Zhe can't deny it even if he doesn't want to. Things he thinks about aren't that easy."
Xi Quan nodded, deciding to play along.
Because Ye Qing had misunderstood, Xi Quan quickly adjusted his emotions, making himself appear less worried. "I know, get some rest. You've been on edge all day."
Because of Xi Quan's maternal grandfather's actions, Ye Qing now almost never lets the two children go out to play. However, because it was raining and the outside was damp and cold, Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin didn't make a fuss about going out.
Xi Quan was already on holiday and could have skipped the company, but because Su Zhe told him about Quan Zhen's situation, Xi Quan pretended that he hadn't finished his work at the company and left home at the normal working hours.
Because Xi Quan had run into Ye Qing looking for her child at the entrance of the residential area when he returned from the company, after finding out what was going on, Xi Quan took Ye Qing to her maternal grandfather's house without telling her that she didn't need to go to the company before the New Year.
Therefore, Ye Qing had no doubts about Xi Quan leaving the house.
Ye Qing had no doubts, but Xi Quan hesitated after leaving home, wondering where to go.
Going to the company was fine, but since it concerned Quan Zhen, Xi Quan thought it best to go to his maternal grandfather's house first. However, before he could turn the car around, the phone rang. It was Su Zhe calling.
Su Zhe met with Xi Quan.
Xi Quan agreed. It was early in the morning, and it was almost Chinese New Year. There were hardly any people on the streets, and many shops were closed. It was difficult to find a coffee shop. So, they finally arranged to meet at Xi Quan's company.
After Xi Quan arrived at the company, Su Zhe soon followed.
Yesterday, when Su Zhe was talking to Xi Quan about Quan Zhen's matter, Su Zhe seemed hesitant and uneasy, unsure of how to begin.
But now Xi Quan saw that Su Zhe had lost his previous hesitation and instead seemed to be holding his breath.
Although Xi Quan was puzzled and wondered what Su Zhe had gone through in such a short time, he didn't show it on his face. He calmly gestured to Su Zhe to sit down.
Su Zhe finally lost his composure and asked directly, "Is what Grandpa said true or false?"
Xi Quan still had many questions in his mind, but after Su Zhe asked, although Xi Quan was still confused, he also understood something: "Grandpa also knows about what you want to do to help Quan Zhen? What did he say to you?"
“Yesterday when I saw you and your sister-in-law off, we were talking outside. He guessed what was going on and said some things to stop me from continuing. I found his words absurd. Did you two plan this together?” Although Su Zhe’s voice didn’t sound anxious, he looked very worried.
Xi Quan asked, "What exactly did Grandpa say to you? Also, given my relationship with Grandpa, what do you think I could discuss with him?"
That makes sense; the relationship between Xi Quan and the old man really does have a tense, almost hostile tone.
Su Zhe thought for a moment. Although he was still not at peace deep down, he was much more at ease when facing Xi Quan. So he repeated what the old man and Xi Quan had said.
Xi Quan wasn't too surprised when the old man stopped talking, because he already knew what the old man was talking about. But what surprised him was how the old man could see right through Su Zhe's intentions!
Moreover, Su Zhe only spoke a few words to him outside. Although Xi Quan didn't pay special attention while they were talking, he knew that the old man was inside and hadn't come out. Therefore, the old man couldn't possibly have heard what Su Zhe was saying to him.
Despite not being able to hear it, he guessed it accurately. Xi Quan narrowed his eyes. It seemed that his lack of contact with the old man meant something had happened.
Seeing that Xi Quan remained calm and showed no surprise after listening to him, Su Zhe knew that what the old man said was true.
But Su Zhe was curious: "When did you find out? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Humans are emotional beings. After spending a lot of time together, feelings naturally develop." Xi Quan did not directly answer Su Zhe's question.
Su Zhe wasn't entirely satisfied with Xi Quan's answer, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it either. He was extremely frustrated and stifled, feeling incredibly oppressed. He stared at Xi Quan for a long time, then turned and left without saying a word.
Xi Quan bent slightly, placed his hands on his knees, and squinted at the direction of the office door. He maintained this posture for a long time before slowly withdrawing his gaze, blinking, and then walking to the front of the office. He picked up the phone and made a call to his grandfather.
