Su Zhe's seemingly random statement initially left Xi Quan and the old man somewhat confused, unsure of his true meaning.
But Xi Quan quickly realized that Su Zhe was probably referring to his connection with people from Jiang Xinya's maternal grandmother's side.
Xi Quan did care about this matter, but he said, "As long as you assure me that you don't intend to scheme against me or make me suffer, I won't ask anything else. After all, it's your freedom to make friends, and I have no reason to interfere."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhe became even more embarrassed. He said, "I didn't mean to scheme against you. I don't even know Jiang Xinya's grandmother. It's just that the magazine Jiang Xinya used to work for did a feature on antique appraisal and interviewed me a few times. The foreigner at the magazine was there at the time, and after listening to me, he became curious and asked me a few times. I told him, and then one time I overheard him on the phone, and it seemed like he was talking about Jiang Xinya..."
"You gave that Dilson some advice?" Xi Quan asked. Although Su Zhe didn't say who the foreigner was, Xi Quan guessed it.
“I didn’t. I know about the conflict between Jiang Xinya and you, and between her and my sister-in-law. How could I possibly give advice to someone else? Maybe my attitude back then made that Daleson realize that I knew Jiang Xinya before, so he said a few more words. Later, Jiang Xinya’s grandmother called me and asked me about my grandfather. I told her the truth without thinking much about it. Later, my grandfather brought Ranran and Xinxin over without saying a word, and I vaguely realized that I seemed to have been used.”
While Su Zhe was saying these things, Xi Quan kept observing Su Zhe and could tell that Su Zhe was not lying.
In fact, Xi Quan could imagine that Jiang Xinya's grandmother was not a simple person. Since she was not simple, whether it was greed, selfishness or some other personality trait, judging from the current situation, Jiang Xinya's grandmother was not someone who easily trusted others.
She didn't even necessarily trust Dalson that much.
For someone who doesn't trust people very much, to believe Su Zhe, whom she has never met, only heard of, and even only talked to once on the phone, is something Xi Quan knows is completely impossible for Jiang Xinya's grandmother.
Therefore, Xi Quan completely believed what Su Zhe said.
Su Zhe's words didn't seem to be a lie, so things seemed to have returned to the previous point: figuring out what the old man meant by bringing the two children to his house without saying a word.
So Xi Quan's gaze involuntarily turned to the old man.
The old man noticed Xi Quan's gaze and understood the emotions expressed in Xi Quan's eyes. He immediately exploded: "What are you looking at? Xi Quan, you still don't believe me, do you?"
"Whether others believe you or not depends on what you do." Faced with the old man's anger, Xi Quan remained noncommittal.
The old man glared at Xi Quan with a huff, as if to say, "We'll see what happens in the end."
Xi Quan didn't care about the old man's attitude, but Su Zhe was more concerned. After all, Su Zhe knew about his background and he definitely needed to go through a process of accepting it.
It's never good for others to say too much in the meantime.
Xi Quan patted Su Zhe on the shoulder, meaning that he should think it over carefully.
Su Zhe noticed Xi Quan's gaze and nodded solemnly to Xi Quan.
Although he had said everything he needed to say, Xi Quan was still a little uneasy because Su Zhe had just learned about the matter, so he stayed and had a meal with the old man and Su Zhe.
Ye Qing wasn't surprised that Xi Quan was staying at the old man's house for dinner, since he assumed Xi Quan was going to work when he left home.
However, to Ye Qing's surprise, Xi Yue approached her and told her something.
Actually, it can't be called an accident; the only one who was unexpected was Xi Yue. Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Xi Yue came specifically to talk to Ye Qing about this, but seeing that Ye Qing looked very calm, Xi Yue asked, "Aren't you surprised at all?"
Ye Qing pulled herself together and looked at Xi Yue: "I knew about this beforehand, and I knew Yang Zi might use Li Yeming, but I didn't expect Li Yeming to actually take the bait..."
At this point, Ye Qing paused, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Actually, I'm not surprised that Li Yeming actually took the bait. How should I put it? I just can't imagine how someone of Li Yeming's age could be so tactless. Just because someone says something, how could Sister Li..."
Although Ye Qing already knew Li Yeming's personality, she still felt a sense of disbelief when things actually happened as planned.
Although Ye Qing's words seemed to make no difference, Xi Yue roughly understood what Ye Qing wanted to express.
Thinking of Li Yeming's confused look, and his bewilderment at why Jiang Xinya was still dissatisfied with her, Xi Yue thought, how could people be so stupid?
Actually, what Xi Yue and Ye Qing were talking about wasn't anything new to Ye Qing.
It was the same thing that Ye Qing had talked to Yang Zi about before. Ye Qing didn't know what Yang Zi had said to Li Yeming, but the current result was that Li Yeming wrote a letter to Jiang Xinya, asking her to wait patiently. She might be fine after the New Year because someone had given Xu Ying money to take all the blame.
Jiang Xinya was furious when she received such a letter. She wrote back to Li Yeming with just one sentence: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Li Yeming was very puzzled. According to her, she originally planned to tell Jiang Xinya in person about such a happy event, but because the investigation was still in progress, Li Yeming could not see Jiang Xinya, so she wrote a letter instead.
But Jiang Xinya didn't appreciate it.
How could Jiang Xinya possibly accept such a gesture!
While she was inside, Li Yeming wrote her a letter. Before it was delivered, it must have been checked, so she knew what Li Yeming wrote in the letter. Since she knew, she would definitely investigate. Since she would investigate, it was only a matter of time before it was confirmed that someone had indeed given money to Xu Ying, and then the investigation would reach Jiang Xinya.
This could hardly be a good thing for Jiang Xinya.
However, everything was done according to what Ye Qing and Yang Zi had agreed on beforehand, so Ye Qing was not surprised.
After listening to Ye Qing's explanation, Xi Yue couldn't help but sigh. She was thinking that she should get the splitting of the studio sorted out as soon as possible after the New Year, otherwise Li Yeming's personality would be really hard to accept.
The Spring Festival arrived as scheduled, even though various issues had not been fully resolved.
Although there are still some unresolved issues, Ye Qing and Xi Quan had a very happy New Year.
Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin also fully felt what the New Year was like, but for them, while they were certainly happy, they were also very sad.
