Hu Li sat on the chair next to her with a wry smile. She grabbed the bottle of mineral water next to her and took a few sips.
Because she was concerned about her image on the stage just now, she didn't drink even a drop of water. After answering the questions, she felt a little dry in the mouth.
In addition, Ye Qing's sudden proposal of "first" just now attracted many media friends to chase and intercept her, and Hu Li's phone was almost blown up.
Although this goal is no longer a secret, saying it to yourself and saying it in front of the public are two different concepts.
"Relax, Sister Hu Li."
Ye Qing smiled and waved his hand, stretched himself and simply lay down on the bed.
Although the entire press conference only allowed a little over an hour for the professional players, the various questions containing so much information in the ten minutes or so allotted to each person made Ye Qing dizzy.
Especially some issues that almost involved personal matters, Ye Qing skillfully blocked them.
This made Ye Qing sigh. There was nothing interesting about her personal privacy, but why did so many people want to reveal it to her every day?
"It doesn't matter whether I say it sooner or later. Am I going to miss out on getting first place if I don't say it?"
Looking at the ceiling of the room, Ye Qing smiled softly.
She never minded others knowing that her goal was to be number one, even if it would cause a sensation.
She doesn't care what others say. She has the confidence and ability to lead the team to first place.
"Hey, Miss, you have to be considerate of the people."
Hu Li sighed, she walked up and sat next to Ye Qing, and like an elder sister, she reached out her hand to tidy up Ye Qing's scattered hair. While she was tidying up, she was thinking about what to say that would be more appropriate.
She was also worried that if she didn't speak well and affected Ye Qing's mentality, she would become a sinner for all eternity.
Not everyone can accept such remarks, as they will inevitably bring trouble to the team and other players.
Ye Qing's ascetic life certainly doesn't matter. Her accounts on other major platforms basically have no news other than happy holidays.
But it’s different for others. There are many “kids” like Xiao Xin and Xiao Yan in the Xingchen team. It would be terrible if they were influenced by those radical people.
But before Hu Li could speak, Ye Qing spoke first.
"Sister Hu Li, I understand what you mean, but they have to bear this pressure. Public opinion can easily destroy a contestant, whether it's criticism or praise. Rather than letting them get carried away by the praise in the future, it's better to train them to be unafraid of the world in advance."
Hu Li was a little stunned when she heard Ye Qing's words.
She didn't expect Ye Qing to have such considerations. After a brief silence, she asked unhappily.
"Just made it up?"
"Yes~ It hurts, it hurts, Sister Fox, please stop rubbing it, my head hurts so much, haha!"
Chapter 61 Bureau
"You are a fox! You are a fox!"
Hu Li snorted and then loosened her hands, falling onto the other bed. Feeling her body surrounded by the softness, she didn't want to get up again.
In just over an hour, she felt more tired than if she had stayed up all night.
Whether dealing with reporters from the media or communicating with the official officials of Huanmeng, people feel extremely stressed.
It would be strange if this wasn't tiring, but fortunately this matter is basically over here.
"We'll be back home tonight anyway, so rest assured, Sister Hu Li~"
Ye Qing simply pulled up the quilt and wanted to fall asleep right there.
The same was true for Hu Li next to her. Most of the things had been resolved now. In addition, all guests at the official hotel of Huanmeng would check out at night, leaving the players with enough time to rest.
But unfortunately, this world might not be willing to let Ye Qing have a good rest.
Just when she was about to close her eyes and have a good sleep, Ye Qing's phone suddenly rang.
Almost at the same time as the phone rang, Ye Qing and Hu Li couldn't help but wail.
It's already this late, what else is going on?!
Although he really didn't want to answer the call, considering that it might be something important, Ye Qing still picked up the phone reluctantly.
"Hello? How are you? What's the matter..."
"Sister Ye Qing? It's me, Ye Xun."
When hearing this name, Ye Qing almost wanted to hang up the phone.
She didn't want to have any contact with the Ye family, no matter what form, especially with a guy like Ye Xun who suddenly showed up.
Although Ye Qing doesn't like to talk about her background, Ye Xun is not only a member of the Ye family, but also the daughter of Ye Zhiqiu...
"If you have anything to say, tell me as soon as possible."
Ye Qing's tone suddenly became calm, no longer as lazy as before.
She didn't want Ye Xun to be aware of her emotions, especially when she couldn't figure out his intentions.
The experiences of two lives have made Ye Qing develop this defensive "instinct", especially when facing people like Ye Xun.
However, Ye Xun was not willing to make the call at this moment. She was kneeling in front of Ye Zhiqiu and the old man, her body shaking uncontrollably.
But she was still trying her best to make her voice sound normal, otherwise if Ye Qing became suspicious, she would be in even worse trouble.
"Ye, Sister Ye Qing, can I treat you to a meal?"
Ye Xun asked tentatively, but the moment she finished speaking she bit her lower lip tightly, the uncontrollable trembling of her body almost made her unable to control it.
He could only rely on the pain to continue holding on, cold sweat already dripping down his forehead.
Please, please, Sister Ye Qing, you must agree! !
Ye Xun had never felt this way before. He wished he could kneel down and lick Ye Qing's ass, just to get her to agree to such a simple request.
As long as she can free herself from this hellish situation, she would be willing to work like a slave for Ye Qing!
"Huh? Why?"
Ye Qing sneered. She was not a fool. She had just met Ye Xun and was harassed by Dongfang Wu. Anyone could guess that there was something fishy going on.
Ye Qing did say before that no matter what happens, just let it come to her and she will take it all, but that doesn't mean she will take the initiative to attend a Hongmen Banquet.
Before arriving at the imperial capital, Wen Mier also specifically mentioned several names that needed to be watched out for, including Yuan Fengyi who had previously controlled Li Xi.
During this period before returning to the sea of clouds, Ye Qing didn't want to get into any more trouble.
"Last time I found Dongfang Wu, who are you looking for this time? Someone from the Yuan family?"
Ye Qing sat up and signaled Hu Li not to speak for the time being. He turned on the call recording function on his mobile phone, walked to the window and drew the curtains.
Although this group of people may not dare to attack me directly, they may still be monitoring me secretly.
"No, no! Sister Ye Qing, you misunderstood. That Dongfang Wu really has nothing to do with me!"
After hearing these words, Ye Xun almost burst into tears, especially when she saw the old man in front of her eyes seemed to be about to close. She became even more anxious and wished she could pull Ye Qing over right now.
How could this little trick be hidden from Ye Zhiqiu and the old man? All those little clever tricks before were not criticized because they had little impact.
She was really crying at this moment, which made Ye Qing on the other end of the phone a little confused.
Ye Qing did not rush to answer. She frowned slightly and paced back and forth in the room with her cell phone in hand.
She always felt that something was not right. How could such an arrogant young lady suddenly be so humble as to invite her to a "meal"?
And the crying tone doesn't seem to be fake, could it be...
Several possibilities flashed through his mind, and Ye Qing picked up the phone again and spoke to the other end.
"I'll ask you two questions. If you answer them truthfully, I'll go and have the meal."
"Okay, okay! Sister Ye Qing, you say!"
At this moment, Ye Xun felt as if he had grasped hope from hell again. He quickly wiped his stained face, and his whole body was shaking with excitement.
"First, is Ye Zhiqiu with you?"
After the words fell, Ye Xun's voice stopped abruptly.
Even the slight sobbing sound disappeared, and the entire other end of the phone fell completely silent.
At this time, even if Ye Xun didn't say anything, Ye Qing could still confirm her judgment.
At this time, Ye Xun raised her head at a loss, looking at her mother with pleading eyes, but Ye Zhiqiu just looked at her with a smile.
This smile made Ye Xun feel cold all over. The last time he saw his mother smile like this was when she was enforcing family rules to clean up traitors.
"...Let her answer the phone, Ye Zhiqiu, you listen."
Ye Qing's voice came from the external phone, and the old man in the wheelchair opened his eyes. Ye Zhiqiu, who was standing behind him, smiled and sighed.
She walked straight to Ye Xun and took the phone from her.
The moment the phone left his hand, Ye Xun felt as if he had survived a calamity and began to breathe heavily, but still did not dare to stand up.
"Niece, long time no see, let's go out and catch up~"
If Ye Zhiqiu said this to others, it would probably scare many people, because they had never heard of Ye Zhiqiu treating anyone so gently.
If you don’t know, you might think that Ye Zhiqiu is preparing to take action.
Hu Li, who also heard Ye Zhiqiu's words at this moment, hurriedly shook her head. At the same time, she also sent a text message to Sister Weiwei, asking how to deal with it.
But Ye Qing smiled and responded decisively.
"Okay, please send me the time and place, Auntie."
The phone call was hung up, and Ye Qing didn't even say a word to Ye Zhiqiu.
Such an action made Hu Li next to her nervous. She grabbed Ye Qing and looked at her seriously.
"Ye Qing, you can't make decisions on your own on this matter! At least you have to wait for Ms. Mei's opinion."
This was one of the rare times that Hu Li called Ye Qing by her name. She looked at Ye Qing very seriously, without any intention of joking at all.
Regardless of what Aunt Mei had told Sister Weiwei before, or what she roughly understood, it did not allow her to act in this way.
Not to mention that they are now in the imperial capital, it can be said that Ye Qing is almost helpless.
If something really happened, Hu Li wouldn't know how to rescue the person.
"Sister Hu Li, don't worry..."
“I can’t let it go!!”
Hu Li couldn't help but clench Ye Qing's wrist. In contrast to her excitement, Ye Qing was calm. She just looked at Hu Li in front of her calmly.
Such an attitude naturally calmed Hu Li down. She realized that she had grasped Ye Qing's wrist too hard, and quickly let go of her hand that was holding Ye Qing's wrist.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
She looked at Ye Qing with some embarrassment. It was not that she wanted to "go against" Ye Qing, but she really could not give in on this matter.
Whether it's for Ye Qing's safety or for other reasons...
"It's okay. Can you calm down now, Sister Hu Li?"
Ye Qing just looked at Hu Li with a smile, and was not angry or anything because of her behavior just now.
She understood Hu Li's concerns and knew what Aunt Mei and the others were worried about, but under such circumstances, Ye Qing had to give it a try even if it was a Hongmen Banquet.
Although she didn't like Ye Xun, Ye Zhiqiu was obviously using Ye Xun to force her to be there.
Does this mean he is sure that he will be soft-hearted?
Ye Qing sighed helplessly. She really wanted to completely abandon Ye Xun, but she couldn't be so cruel.
Although she is not a saint, she is not a cold-blooded person either. She is just an ordinary person.
If Ye Xun was really tortured by Ye Zhiqiu and others because of him, then Ye Qing would definitely not be able to forgive himself for escaping from it all today.
"Ye Qing, you don't know if this is a self-torture trick. If it is, then if you go there, wouldn't it be exactly what they want?!"
Hu Li is really in a hurry now, she can't just watch Ye Qing fall into the trap!
But in this situation, she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.
"I understand, but I still have to go because this incident was caused by me... and I can tell that her fear is not fake."
For some reason, Ye Qing seemed to have really felt the terror of Ye Xun just now.
It was as if there was a terrifying force driving her to make the call, and even forcing her to continue to remain normal.
