Ye Qingning rushed into the thorns first, and Ye Qi was already waiting for her in the office.
"Drink some water first and take your time. Don't be anxious." Ye Qi placed the water glass in front of her and sat down.
"What's wrong with Ye An?"
Ye Qingning's text message only said that she wanted to discuss things with him about Ye An, but did not mention specific matters.
Ye Qingning sipped her saliva and moistened her throat before telling her about her encounter with Ye An's adoptive mother, including her appointment to see her in the afternoon.
Ye Qi listened quietly and frowned.
"So, before Ye An returned to Ye's house, Yi Yi was abused, and now she still wants to get money from Ye An. If Ye An doesn't pay back, Yi Yi is waiting for her at the school gate, right?"
Ye Qingning nodded. "I don't know if she has come to squat in the past few days since I have been in country M. She is a complete scoundrel. I don't think she will leave unless she gets money, but if money is given, she will definitely take advantage of her."
"You're right." Ye Qi pursed his lips and knocked on the armrest of the sofa, thinking about something.
"In this case, you take a rest here first, and I will go with you in the afternoon. Don't tell Ye An about this, otherwise she will definitely go to her adoptive mother to settle the score."
"I know, I didn't tell An An about the appointment."
"Great job." Ye Qi rubbed her head.
The two waited until the time was almost up and then headed to the agreed place. As soon as I stepped in, I didn't expect that Huang Xiuli had already arrived. I heard from the staff that she had been here for almost half an hour. Because the sound was too loud and disturbed other guests, she was taken into a private room in the side courtyard.
He also said that he was Miss Ye's distinguished guest, so he ordered a lot of food, whatever was more expensive. Because Ye Qingning called to tell them first, the staff didn't dare to ask any more questions and they all went on board.
Ye Qi nodded, calmly. This store was originally the property of the Ye family. Even if she ate until her stomach burst, she would not be able to cause any damage to the Ye family.
The two of them went to the side courtyard. As soon as the door opened, Ye Qingning frowned slightly, but Ye Qi had no expression. After all, he had never seen anyone in his position.
The dining table was in a mess, and the corners of Huang Xiuli's mouth were still shiny. When he saw the two people coming in, he swallowed the food in his mouth with his mouth shut, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and wiped his hands on the tablecloth.
Ye Qi knew that Ye Qingning had some mysophobia and gave the staff a look. The latter understood the situation and immediately called for help.
"Hey, don't take it away. I haven't finished eating yet. I'll take it away later!" Huang Xiuli was anxious and grabbed the plate to prevent them from taking it away.
Ye Qingning felt depressed when he heard what Ye An said yesterday. Now when he saw Huang Xiuli's appearance, his brows were furrowed and his expression was serious. Ye Qi patted her head and looked at Huang Xiuli.
"I'll have someone pack a new one for you later."
"Really?" Huang Xiuli's eyes flashed with greed.
Ye Qi nodded.
"Then I want the ones I have now, exactly the same." Huang Xiuli said in an extravagant manner.
"Can."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiuli put her hand on her body and said, "Take it, take it. I remember everything I ordered, but you can't miss one portion."
The staff ignored her and quickly cleaned up the table. The table became tidy again, and Ye Qi and Ye Qingning sat down. The staff served the tea, and Huang Xiuli took a swig, smashed it in her mouth, and tasted nothing.
Ye Qingning didn't want to look at her, lowered her head, rubbed the rim of the cup, and took a sip.
"Are you Huang Xiuli?" Ye Qi entered the topic for the first time. He didn't seem to waste too much time on this kind of person.
"Yes, if it weren't for me, I would have to pay for it..."
As soon as the words Huang Xiuli came out, Ye Qingning immediately raised his eyes and looked at her. His eyes, which had always been as gentle as water, were now as cold as ice, even filled with hatred.
"Huh?" Ye Qi tapped his fingers on the table.
Huang Xiuli opened her mouth, and even stooped unconsciously. Her eyes were a little dodgey, and she did not dare to look at Ye Qi. Seeing that she was quiet, Ye Qingning withdrew his gaze.
"Tell me, what is your purpose of coming to Ye An? I remember that my father gave you a large sum of money, which is enough for your family of three to live a good life, right? You also agreed to cut off contact with Ye An, no? Wrong?"
After learning that Huang Xiuli had approached Ye An, Ye Qi immediately called and asked Ye Shaohua about the matters related to bringing Ye An back.
Ye Shaohua's tone on the phone was very bad. He originally went there with gratitude, but as soon as he entered the village, he heard the villagers talking about Huang Xiuli's family, so he took it a step further and listened more. a while.
Therefore, before meeting Ye An, he had already learned about Ye An's experience from other people in the village.
On the day he went to pick up Ye An, Ye Shaohua said that as long as Huang Xiuli's family promised not to see Ye An again, they would give them a large sum of money, and the other party readily agreed. I didn’t expect that now I would go back on my word!
What Ye Shaohua said was similar to what Ye Qi guessed, but Ye Shaohua wouldn't be able to come back for a while, so he left full responsibility to Ye Qi.
But unexpectedly, when talking about the money, Huang Xiuli slammed the table and stood up.
"The guy who got thousands of dollars lied to me and said he was going to buy a house in the city and pick us up to live there, but he ran away with the money and his mistress!" Her voice was so loud and her mouth was so open that Ye Qingning could even see it. Out of her spit.
Her frown deepened.
"So, you went to Ye An?" Ye Qi's words were oppressive. He raised his eyes upwards, and Huang Xiuli just happened to catch his sight, and her momentum immediately weakened.
"My Haohao broke his leg. I took him to the town to see a doctor. I saw Ye An on TV in the hospital, so I..." Huang Xiuli's eyes were evasive, not daring to look at the two of them.
"So you broke the promise you made at that time and came to pester Ye An?" Ye Qingning was a little excited, and his chest heaved violently.
Ye Qi patted her back and gave her a cup of tea to calm her down.
Ye Qingning looked at Ye Qi with a somewhat aggrieved expression, but said nothing. He held the tea cup and lowered his head, hiding the emotions on his face.
"Then I can't help it. The one who suffered a thousand cuts is nowhere to be found, and we two have to live together. I have raised that...that child for so many years, and I don't know how much money and energy I have spent on her. , I gave her food and clothing, and I also gave her schooling when she was a girl. Now she flies up the branches and becomes a phoenix, goes to a noble school, and is even on TV. Don’t you have to thank me for buying her back then? "
Speaking of this, Huang Xiuli straightened her back.
"If I hadn't bought her back then, she would have been drowned in the river by the trafficker. I was a life-saving and nurturing person to her. Isn't it right for her to give me some money?"
After what Huang Xiuli said, she felt confident.
Ye Qingning had never seen such a shameless person, and the hand holding the tea cup turned white. She clenched her back molars, feeling even more distressed for Ye An.
"So, you bought Ye An from a human trafficker? Have you never thought about how anxious her family would be if they lost their child?"
"What's the point? Who didn't buy a few children back then?" Huang Xiuli looked calm and relaxed, as if she thought this kind of thing was normal.
When we got here, even Ye Qi felt a little angry.
