Because Zitai Fashion was about to go public, the investment banks gave Liu Yuliang an ultimatum beforehand.
Faced with the choice between divorce and resignation, Liu Yuliang would rather resign than divorce.
His choice might seem affectionate to those unaware of the truth, but what it truly means is also important to Xu Xiaoyue, because it reveals what kind of person Liu Yuliang really is.
Not getting a divorce doesn't mean he's deeply in love.
For investment bankers, Liu Yuliang's resignation was exactly what they wanted.
For a listed company, Liu Yuliang having such a biological mother is not something that can be resolved simply by his divorce. Moreover, who can guarantee that if Liu Yuliang remarries after the divorce, it won't also end in divorce again?
By then, the fashion brand "Zitai" might already be on the market, and if they get divorced then, the price they'll pay will be much higher.
So now that Liu Yuliang has announced his resignation, it's actually a win-win situation. Xi Quan didn't try to keep him or anything, and even the non-compete agreement was drafted by the lawyers.
Today Liu Yuliang is here to sign a non-compete agreement. After that, he'll hand over the business at Zitai Fashion, and that'll be it.
Ye Qing had previously heard Xi Quan mention that Liu Yuliang was going to sign a non-compete agreement, but Ye Qing forgot which day it was.
Now that we know from Xi Quan that Liu Yuliang went to Zitai Fashion today to sign an agreement and process his resignation, if Xu Xiaoyue's brother really wants to see Liu Yuliang, he should come along too.
So Ye Qing went straight to Zitai Fashion.
Just as Liu Yuliang finished signing the agreement and exchanging pleasantries with Xi Quan and was about to leave, Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother arrived. The young man, who was not yet grown up, rushed forward to beat Liu Yuliang up.
Fortunately, Ye Qing also arrived. Seeing the situation, she disregarded everything else and quickly stepped forward to hold Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother tightly.
The people around them realized what was happening, and Xi Quan was the first to react. He quickly went to Ye Qing's side and took her place in holding Xu Xiaoyue's brother back.
Even though he was Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother, in Ye Qing's mind he was the same as her brother, but in Xi Quan's eyes, he was just a young man.
He felt uncomfortable looking at it.
However, Ye Qing was in no mood to think about Xi Quan's unspoken thoughts. She was naturally happy that Xi Quan could help her keep Xu Xiaoyue's brother in check.
After all, it was quite difficult for her to hold back the furious young man on her own.
Although Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother was restrained, he was unwilling to give up and even tried to break free of Xi Quan to hit Liu Yuliang.
After calming himself down, Ye Qing stepped forward and stood in front of Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother.
"Sister Ye Qing, please move aside."
Ye Qing didn't move aside, coldly looking at Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother: "Do you know why your sister made you live at school this semester? It's because she was afraid you'd act impulsively. Your sister has always been thinking of you, so why can't you think of your sister?"
"How could I not think about my sister? He treats her like this, how could I just stand by and do nothing? Does he really think we don't have any men in our family?!" The hot-blooded young man spoke very impulsively.
Of course, thinking about it calmly, what he said wasn't wrong. From his perspective, it's understandable that he was so angry. But Ye Qing is helping Xu Xiaoyue now, and he can't let Xu Xiaoyue get even more anxious.
Ye Qing said, "Of course you can stand up for your sister, but your sister hopes even more that you can be her support, not just someone who fights and acts tough to get revenge for her."
The younger brother was momentarily speechless at Ye Qing's words, but quickly regained his composure and shouted, "He deserves to be beaten!"
This time, Ye Qing didn't refute her brother's words: "Yes, he deserved to be hit, but what happens after you hit him? Will hitting him help your sister solve her current marital problems?"
Ye Qing's question stumped Xu Xiaoyue's brother, but it also made him even angrier!
I'm angry that I can't do anything about it.
Ye Qing noticed the other person's emotions and said, "You were younger before, so you might not have understood your family's situation. Now you're about to take the college entrance exam, so you're not young anymore. You should know about your family's situation. When I met your sister, she was about your age now, and she had already started earning money to support you and your grandparents. What was your sister working so hard for? Was it just so you could punch Liu Yuliang like this? What about you after you hit him? What if you ruin your future? You're about to take the college entrance exam!"
"What did he do right that he dares to call the police?" Although the younger brother had taken most of Ye Qing's words to heart, he was still extremely dissatisfied.
Ye Qing said, "Indeed, he didn't do anything wrong, and he probably won't call the police, but what about his mother? Would she be willing for you to hit her son like that?"
After being caught off guard and startled at first, Liu Yuliang realized it was his brother-in-law causing him trouble, so he remained silent. Now, hearing Ye Qing mention his mother, Liu Yuliang couldn't help but call out to Ye Qing, "Ye Qing, what you're saying..."
"Did I say something wrong?" Ye Qing slowly turned around to look at Liu Yuliang and asked him in return.
While Liu Yuliang felt that Ye Qing's words were inappropriate, he was also a little embarrassed by Ye Qing's question and didn't know what to say. After all, his mother... might not let it go.
More importantly, when Xi Quan heard him speak, his gaze instantly sharpened.
To be honest, most people couldn't withstand Xi Quan's gaze, including Liu Yuliang.
So he swallowed his words again.
Although Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother was still angry, he felt somewhat relieved after hearing Ye Qing's rebuke that left Liu Yuliang speechless.
But she still glared fiercely at Liu Yuliang.
Ye Qing glanced at Xi Quan and gestured for him to release Xu Xiaoyue's brother.
Xi Quan was a little uneasy and gave Ye Qing a look that seemed to ask, "Are you sure?" Ye Qing nodded.
After hesitating for a moment, Xi Quan also gave Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother a warning look before letting him go.
As he let go, Ye Qing quickly grabbed the other man's arm tightly and tugged at it, saying, "Come with me."
Although the young man felt somewhat at peace, he was still a little unwilling to accept that he had run away from school by climbing over the wall, done all sorts of things, and then just left like that.
Ye Qing saw that the other party was unwilling to give up, and took advantage of his inattention to pull him out of the office, and then signaled Xi Quan to drag Liu Yuliang away from here.
"Sister Ye Qing, I..."
Ye Qing glanced at the other person and said, "I'll take you to see your sister."
"My sister...my sister knows I ran away from school?" The young man was a little scared when he heard that Ye Qing was going to take him to see his sister.
"Otherwise what? Of course the teacher called your sister first, otherwise how would I have run into her by chance? I'm not a fortune teller, I can't tell fortunes," Ye Qing said coolly.
