Liu Yuliang said, "Replacing Xu Ying is not a problem from our perspective. Although we have just arrived at Zitai Fashion and it is not appropriate for us to interfere too much with the work of other departments, they will not say too much if we replace her with another model. However, Xu Ying is also signed with the company, and her agency will not let this go easily. If it is just a matter of losing some money, that's fine, but if they take the money and spread rumors everywhere, we will be in a more passive position."
Because Xu Xiaoyue had just told Liu Yuliang that Xu Ying couldn't be used, only saying that she was Xi Quan's ex-wife and not mentioning what Xu Ying had done, Liu Yuliang, after expressing his concerns, also offered his suggestion: "So I think we should have President Xi talk to Xu Ying and ask her to withdraw voluntarily."
It's certain that Xu Ying will voluntarily withdraw, but Ye Qing is reluctant to ask Xi Quan to do so.
After all, Xu Ying is Xi Quan's ex-wife.
Moreover, if Xu Ying makes a scene, it will probably be related to me, since although they are cousins, their relationship has always been terrible.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing said, "I'll go. I'll go talk to her."
Liu Yuliang only knew that Xu Ying was Xi Quan's ex-wife, but he didn't know the relationship between Ye Qing and Xu Ying. He was a little doubtful: "You're going? Is it appropriate? You are President Xi's current wife. Going to his ex-wife... won't that escalate the conflict?"
“My conflict with her is far from over. I’m not afraid, I’ll go.” Ye Qing took a deep breath, feeling that this matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible. Looking at the time, it was still early, so he called Xu Ying using the contact information in the photo.
Ye Qing was surprised to learn that Xu Ying was a model, but from Xu Ying's words, it seemed that she was not surprised at all to receive his call, and even seemed to have been waiting for his call, which made Ye Qing's doubts grow.
After agreeing on a meeting place with Xu Ying, Ye Qing left.
Because of her foot injury, Ye Qing was still unable to drive, so Xu Xiaoyue drove her there.
Although it was the agreed time, Xu Ying hadn't arrived when Ye Qing arrived. Ye Qing waited for a while before she arrived, and the reason given was that there was traffic on the way. Ye Qing didn't say anything.
Looking at her cousin whom she hadn't seen for many years, Ye Qing felt a little emotional. Everyone had lost their youthful naiveté and rusticity.
"It's no use you coming to me. To be honest, I probably don't earn as much as you as a model, but I've learned my lesson. Because I messed with you, Xi Quan and you threw me into a mental hospital. I finally managed to escape, but then my parents bewitched me, and then... the result was that my parents were sentenced to prison and haven't been released yet. So I'm just thinking about living a peaceful life."
Ye Qing looked at Xu Ying in surprise. She hadn't expected that Xu Ying would speak so eloquently and so knowledgeably without her saying anything.
So Ye Qing stopped looking at Xu Ying and asked, "Since you know so much, why did you still take on the work for Zitai Fashion? The search for models only started after I held the press conference. You should know about my relationship with Xi Quan. Even if you didn't, based on your previous relationship with Xi Quan, you should have avoided suspicion."
“I didn’t want to either, but back in Xiaoyao Village, you know a lot of things. Liang Youjie has something on me, what could I do? Although I’m not a celebrity, I’ve finally managed to support myself, I can’t lose everything again because of what happened before.” Xu Ying said impatiently to Ye Qing.
“Liang Youjie?” Ye Qing frowned and asked, “Why would he threaten you? Whether you shoot the Zitai Fashion ad or not has nothing to do with him. Does he want to use you to break me up with Xi Quan? If someone didn’t know the situation, they could understand doing this, but Liang Youjie knows why you divorced Xi Quan in the first place.”
Xu Ying glanced at Ye Qing and said, "Weren't you always pretty smart? Why are you pretending to be confused now? What could it be? It's all because of money. You weren't rich to begin with, so why are you pretending to be innocent now that you have money?"
Ignoring Xu Ying's sarcastic remarks, Ye Qing said, "Money is the issue? What financial entanglement is there between Liang Youjie and Xi Quan? What else do they have to do with this besides getting to know each other? Liang Youjie isn't short of money."
“Liang Youjie isn’t short of money, but nobody thinks having too much money is a burden. If it weren’t a bit improper to ask you for money, and if you weren’t someone I couldn’t mess with, I would have asked you for money too. I shouldn’t have divorced Xi Quan in the first place. Who knew Xi Quan’s maternal grandfather was so rich? All that money is now Xi Quan’s. Nobody would just accept that.” Xu Ying answered Ye Qing’s question according to her own logic.
Ye Qing's brows furrowed deeper as she asked, "No matter how rich Xi Quan's maternal grandfather is, it has nothing to do with Liang Youjie, right?"
“How could they not be related? He…” Xu Ying was about to continue Ye Qing’s words, but she swallowed the rest of her sentence: “Don’t you know the relationship between Liang Youjie and Xi Quan?”
After realizing this, Xu Ying looked at Ye Qing with a playful and somewhat gloating gaze: "Doesn't Xi Quan like you a lot? What? Didn't he tell you?"
Ye Qing blinked, ignoring her sarcasm, "So now, for money, you're colluding with Liang Youjie?"
Hearing Ye Qing say this, Xu Ying's arrogance subsided: "I already said, I had no choice. Liang Youjie has something on me. The money was just a side effect."
"Ha, is that so? Liang Youjie has something on you, and Xi Quan has something on you too. What did he get when you two divorced? Have you already forgotten?" Ye Qing asked Xu Ying with a sneer.
Xu Ying's expression stiffened for a moment, and she said, "Offending anyone is offending someone, and I can't help it. That's why I told you from the beginning that I didn't want to provoke you either. As long as you can handle Liang Youjie, everything is negotiable."
Ye Qing stared at Xu Ying for a long time without saying a word.
Xu Ying hadn't been looked at like that by Ye Qing for many years. She didn't miss it, but she couldn't help but recall how Ye Qing used to look at her like that, and how bad luck would follow. Xu Ying couldn't help but feel nervous and guilty: "Looking at me like that won't help. I don't know much, and I can't help it. Even if I regret what I did back then, it's too late, isn't it? There's no going back. I can only try to prevent the past from affecting me now, so I..." After saying so much, seeing that Ye Qing was still staring at her without blinking, Xu Ying couldn't help but play the family card: "Ye Qing, we're cousins, after all, you..."
Interrupting her long-winded explanation, Ye Qing asked, "So what exactly is the relationship between Liang Youjie and Xi Quan?"
