Sheng Qian couldn't help but glance sideways, and saw a hint of coldness in Ye Fang's eyes.
I wonder what his purpose was in asking these questions.
Is he testing himself, or is he really trying to find out what kind of information Old Man Ye has been living here?
Sheng Qian had no recollection of the Ye family in Haicheng.
Could it be that I've experienced partial amnesia?
Sheng Qian frowned, her doubts returning.
“When Mr. Ye fell, I helped him up and gave him some of my family’s old remedies. I didn’t expect anything in return, but Mr. Ye insisted on giving me some, so I brought up the coal mine. I had made it very clear to Mr. Ye before that after helping me with these things, there was no need to mention the life-saving debt anymore, and it would be considered settled. If Mr. Ye has any other doubts, he can ask Mr. Ye for verification.”
"Of course you say that, but who knows what you're really thinking? What was your relationship with the old man before this? Maybe you've already secretly taken some benefits from him." Ye Yaodong didn't believe that the old man would be so stingy with his savior.
Sheng Qian raised an eyebrow.
Ye Fang shielded his son behind him and said, "Thank you, Miss Sheng, for saving the old man's life. We came here mainly to place an order with you. Since you have no interest in that, we won't force you. Once things stabilize at the coal mine, you can contact me anytime if you want to take orders."
Sheng Qian nodded lightly, "I will contact Mr. Ye if needed."
This statement is very perfunctory.
The implication in his words was clear: he wanted them to leave.
Ye Fang gave Sheng Qian a deep look, then left with his son.
"Dad, why be so polite to a country girl? It's unnecessary."
Ye Yaodong didn't understand why Ye Fang was being so polite to Sheng Qian.
Ye Fang looked at his son and said, "You still have a lot to learn about judging people, Yao Dong. Do you think the old man's temper is so easy to handle? In Haicheng, who has he ever given face to? He didn't even give face to that person from the Yan family. But he's all smiles and kindness towards this Sheng Qian. Don't you find that strange?"
Ye Yaodong frowned and thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure out what was different. "What's so strange about it? It's all because of her face. I didn't expect to find a village girl with this kind of appearance in the countryside. She looks just as good as those socialites in Haicheng. I guess the old man and this Sheng Qian have a special relationship."
The old man probably wishes he could turn back time several decades to find a village girl who is even more beautiful than the socialites of Haicheng.
Ye Yaodong made even more malicious speculations about the relationship between the old man and the young man.
Ye Fang shook his head, still somewhat disappointed in his son.
Ye Fang narrowed his eyes.
There must be something about Sheng Qian that the old man values.
If his son can master this skill, he will surely become one of the old man's key protégés.
At that point, no one in the family will be able to object to the inheritance!
Ye Fang's cold gaze swept backward.
Sheng Qian stood outside the door, watching the father and son leave, her dark eyes growing deeper.
She thought that the other party might already be targeting her!
