Liu Yuliang couldn't see what Ye Qing was thinking, but since Ye Qing had asked him, he couldn't avoid it. Besides, Liu Yuliang had come to see Ye Qing today hoping that Ye Qing could properly persuade Xu Xiaoyue.
So after hearing Ye Qing's words, Liu Yuliang remained silent for a moment before revealing his thoughts: "She is, after all, my own mother. It's only reasonable for me to consult a lawyer to understand the situation. But I am definitely on Xiaoyue's side, and I don't agree with my mother's actions."
Ye Qing took a deep breath, composing herself. "Of course, that's your mother. It's understandable that you care, it's only natural. But let me ask you one question: if..."
Fearing Liu Yuliang might misunderstand, Ye Qing emphasized again: "I said 'if.' If your mother's problem is serious and she might have to stay in there for a year or two, what will you do? Will you still insist on not divorcing Xiaoyue? Will you still insist on standing by Xiaoyue's side?"
“My mom is so old, she probably wouldn’t…” Liu Yuliang subconsciously continued Ye Qing’s words, but realized halfway through that he was about to say something that seemed inappropriate.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "You see, subconsciously you still think about your mother first. You didn't think about Xiaoyue, or your mother's attitude towards Xiaoyue."
Seeing that Liu Yuliang wanted to explain, Ye Qing quickly spoke again, not giving Liu Yuliang a chance to explain. Actually, it wasn't that she didn't want Liu Yuliang to explain, but she wanted to finish her sentence first: "Let me tell you the truth, Xu Xiaoyue has always hoped that your mother is alright, because she feels that no matter if she and you divorce in the future, you will always be the father of the unborn child. She doesn't want you to have any thoughts about your mother. You see, she's thinking about you, but what about you? What have you thought about Xiaoyue? You said that Xiaoyue is pregnant now, and divorce is inappropriate. Actually, the reason why it's inappropriate is because you care about what others think of you. You think that if your wife is pregnant and you still agree to divorce, in our traditional thinking, you will be drowned in spittle for doing so."
Liu Yuliang felt somewhat ashamed after Ye Qing's words. To be honest, Ye Qing had guessed some of his thoughts correctly.
There were still some things Ye Qing hadn't guessed.
Actually, Liu Yuliang wasn't entirely unreasonable. His thoughts weren't too hard to understand. Besides what Ye Qing said, he also felt that there was nothing wrong between him and Xiaoyue, and that divorcing because of his mother was a bit far-fetched.
Moreover, although he did not agree with his mother's approach, it was not to say that he could accept it. Liu Yuliang felt that his mother's approach existed if it existed, after all, the issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships was not unique to his family; many people had the same problem.
The only difference is that his family's situation seems a bit more intense.
He even considered preventing his mother from seeing Xu Xiaoyue after she recovered.
It can't be said that Liu Yuliang's thinking is wrong. Many families do have problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships, some of which are quite intense. After arguing and fighting, they just let things slide and live their lives like that.
But just as Ye Qing said, Liu Yuliang thought about many things, but he never thought about his wife Xu Xiaoyue, with whom he had the closest relationship.
He hadn't considered what Xu Xiaoyue would do given how difficult her mother was to get along with.
“I know Xiaoyue has been wronged. I’ve always felt sorry for Xiaoyue, but…” Liu Yuliang wanted to say that he had also thought about Xiaoyue, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he hadn’t done anything for Xu Xiaoyue. He felt a little ashamed after Ye Qing’s words.
This feeling was a bit unpleasant. Liu Yuliang thought for a moment and said, "Now that Zitai Fashion is going public, besides being the general manager of Zitai Fashion, I also have special shares in my portfolio. So any slight change in my relationship with Xiaoyue will affect the listing."
Ye Qing sneered: "But the news about Xiaoyue and your mother has been making headlines for a long time. Do you really think you don't know about it?"
"Although it's been all over the news, Xiaoyue and I haven't actually divorced. If we had, things would have been different, wouldn't they?"
Ye Qing originally wanted to say something, but after listening to so much from Liu Yuliang, she gave up on communicating with him.
With a smile, Ye Qing didn't continue the conversation with Liu Yuliang, giving him the impression that she accepted his explanation.
Liu Yuliang, seeing Ye Qing's expression, assumed that Ye Qing had accepted his explanation. Since he was indeed busy with other matters and Taizi Fashion was also occupied, he didn't say much to Ye Qing and left first.
After Liu Yuliang left, Ye Qing also left, and when Xi Quan returned home, he was surprised to find Xi Quan there as well.
Now that the New Year is over, it's easier to find a nanny. Xi Quan came home early today because he found one.
When Ye Qing arrived home, Xi Quan and Aunt Zhang had already spoken to the aunt about some precautions.
Although Ye Qing's family is large and has many children, Aunt Zhang has recovered quite well and is able to take care of the children. Moreover, the winter vacation is almost over, and Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin will soon start school. After school starts, the two children will be at school during the day and will only come home at night.
After school, Ye Qing and Xi Quan were both home and could take care of the child, so the nanny didn't have much to do. In addition, Ye Qing and Xi Quan paid her a lot of money, so the nanny was very satisfied.
With the help of the nanny, Ye Qing and Xi Quan no longer needed to worry about cooking. The two older children, Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin, played by themselves, while Ye Qing and Xi Quan watched over Xi Yike.
Thinking about how he had talked to Liu Yuliang about many things today, Ye Qing felt it was necessary to tell Xi Quan, since Liu Yuliang was now the general manager of Zitai Fashion.
After listening to Ye Qing's explanation, Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Upon hearing Xi Quan's question, Ye Qing remained silent for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "I can't really say what I'm worried about. Of course, I can't deny that Liu Yuliang is much better at business management and being a professional manager than he was originally a designer, but it's just... I'm afraid of him..."
Ye Qing couldn't quite put her finger on what she was worried about.
Although Ye Qing couldn't quite put her finger on what she was worried about, Xi Quan understood: "Are you afraid that after Zitai Fashion goes public, everything will be settled, but the issues between Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue won't be resolved, and Liu Yuliang will become arrogant and unwilling to just be the general manager of Zitai Fashion? And then he won't treat Xu Xiaoyue well either?"
Ye Qing thought for a moment and realized that these were probably the main concerns he had. So he nodded and said, "Yes, that's about it."
Xi Quan placed Xi Yike on the bed, took Ye Qing's hand, and said, "In principle, these are private matters between Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue, and I shouldn't say anything. After all, Liu Yuliang has done a very good job in his work, just as you said, he is a qualified professional manager..."
Seeing Ye Qing's anxious attempt to explain, Xi Quan said, "Let me finish what I have to say."
