You Refused to Ask Me For Help Before, And You Keep Your Mouth Shut After

2Before Ye Shengge could react, Ji Shiting answered for her, "Shengge doesn't know anything."

Qiao Yanze looked at him coldly. "Do you know what I want to ask?"

"Deal with the matter between you and Li Yinian yourself." Ji Shiting said bluntly. "Don't implicate others."

Qiao Yanze was so angry that he laughed. "I know you value love over friends, but I didn't expect it to be such an extent."

Ye Shengge had to cough lightly to interrupt their confrontation.

"It's true that I don't know anything. You know Nian. If she really has something to hide, she won't tell anyone."

Qiao Yanze's gaze darkened and his tone became more oppressive. "Really?"

"Really." Of course, Ye Shengge wouldn't betray Li Yinian. "Are you still unwilling to give up?"

"Give up?" Qiao Yanze laughed, his lips curling into a fierce smile. "She treats me like a fool, and you think I'm easy to fool? If you really don't know anything, why are you on her side without hesitation?"

"Yanze!" Ji Shiting couldn't stand him talking to Ye Shengge with such an attitude, and his tone was filled with displeasure.

Qiao Yanze humphed coldly, still staring at Ye Shengge.

"Sit down first," Ye Shengge said calmly.

...

The three of them sat down on the sofa and Sister Xiu brought them hot drinks and snacks.

Qiao Yanze didn't sleep much last night. He came over without even drinking a mouthful of water after waking up, so he picked up the hot water and drank it in one gulp. After a while, he put down the cup heavily, his face still sullen.

Seeing this, Ye Shengge's heart softened and she subconsciously looked at the man beside her.

Ji Shiting held her hand, signaling her not to waver.

Ye Shengge said, "Yinian never told me anything. I think it's not that she doesn't trust me, but she doesn't want me to be in a difficult position. As for why I'm on her side… Because we're friends, I have to respect her wishes."

Although she and Qiao Yanze could be considered friends, there was still a distance between friends. She did not want Qiao Yanze to suffer because of this, but if she had to choose, she could only choose to support Li Yinian.

Qiao Yanze chuckled and said coldly, "In that case, you don't know about that child either?"

"So you already know?" Ye Shengge blurted out in shock.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she knew that something was wrong.

Qiao Yanze's eyes turned colder. "Obviously, you know too."

Even Ji Shiting raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at her.

"Uh…" Ye Shengge had an idea. "Yinian didn't tell me. I guessed it myself. I'm a woman after all. I'm definitely sharper than you in this aspect."

Qiao Yanze closed his eyes. Two seconds later, he opened them and looked at Ye Shengge with his slightly red eyes. He said hoarsely, "It's fine if my mother can't tolerate her and that child, but I can't understand why she's so obedient and remains at my mother's mercy. She refused to ask me for help beforehand and kept her mouth shut after that. If I hadn't accidentally discovered it, I'm afraid I would still be in the dark… Since you're a woman, perhaps you can analyze her mentality for me?"
