Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1220 She has changed

Ye Qingya said: "We can still be friends even if we break up."

Xu Chunliang asked back: "Do you think it's possible?"

Ye Qingya fell silent. She and Qiao Rulong were a ready-made example. After they broke up, they would not contact each other unless necessary. Ever since their father's accidental death, a deep rift had arisen between the two families.

Ye Qingya didn't understand at first, but later she heard that her father's job change had something to do with Old Qiao, so her grandfather had distanced himself from Old Qiao.

Xu Chunliang realized that his question had affected Ye Qingya's mood, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Have you eaten? I know there's a small restaurant nearby that has good food."

Ye Qingya shook her head and said, "No, I'm just coming to see you. I have to go home to accompany grandpa later."

Xu Chunliang said: "Okay."

Ye Qingya picked up her handbag: "I'm leaving first."

Xu Chunliang sent her out. When Ye Qingya opened the door, she was surprised to find Qiao Rulong standing at the door, and he was about to press the doorbell.

Qiao Rulong didn't expect the door to open suddenly, but he quickly adjusted his expression. Looking at Ye Qingya and Xu Chunliang in front of him, Qiao Rulong forced out a stiff smile: "What a coincidence?"

Ye Qingya looked at him strangely. Ever since their divorce, Qiao Rulong rarely even called her. How could he come to her house today?

"What are you doing here?" Ye Qingya asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "This is the second time I've met Mr. Qiao today." If the first time was a coincidence, it would be understandable, but there must be a reason for the second time.

Qiao Rulong said: "Nothing, I just came here to take a look when I passed by."

Ye Qingya said: "Sorry, I have something else to go out for."

Qiao Rulong nodded: "Okay, I'll come back another day."

Ye Qingya said: "No need, I plan to transfer this studio. The owner may have changed when you come next time."

Qiao Rulong said: "If you really want to transfer it, why not consider transferring it to me? When I bought this studio, I was attracted by its quiet location in the middle of a bustling city." He reminded Ye Qingya that he also paid for the studio.

Before Ye Qingya could answer, Xu Chunliang spoke up: "Sister Qingya has decided to transfer it to me. I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I got there first."

  Qiao Rulong nodded, feeling even more uncomfortable. Although he and Ye Qingya had no so-called love during their marriage, Ye Qingya was his ex-wife after all. Why had he never seen her protect and care for him so much in the past?

During this period, Qiao Rulong began to reflect on why he had come to this point. He began to realize that his career and marriage were actually closely related, and that the marriage between the Qiao and Ye families was mutually beneficial.

He could have made great progress in his career with the support of both families, but he chose a thorny path.

Qi Shuang was a good woman, very gentle to him, and gave birth to a baby son for him. However, Qi Shuang was not a good wife, which was determined by her birth and background.

It is impossible for him to appear in a special circle with a woman with an illegitimate background, and this woman's father also has a gray background.

Qiao Rulong thought he could control everything, but in the end he suffered a terrible fall. What made him even more depressed was that the breakdown of his marriage led to a rift between his grandfather and Mr. Ye. In recent times, Qiao Rulong had hardly seen his grandfather's smiling face. Although his grandfather was unwilling to communicate with him, he knew that this must have something to do with Mr. Ye.

Qiao Rulong said: "Qingya, I want to talk to you alone."

Ye Qingya looked at Qiao Rulong in surprise.

Qiao Rulong added: “It’s very important!”

Xu Chunliang’s current situation is somewhat awkward. After all, Qiao Rulong and Ye Qingya were husband and wife in the past.

Ye Qingya thought for a moment and said to Qiao Rulong, "Let's go to another place." Then she said to Xu Chunliang, "Wait for me in the car for a while. I have something else to talk to you about."

Since Ye Qingya said so, Xu Chunliang could only nod: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the car. Call me if you have any trouble." Qiao Rulong was very upset with Xu Chunliang's words. What do you mean by trouble? Do I look like someone who would cause trouble for Ye Qingya? Ye Qingya was standing at the door of the studio, but she insisted on finding another place, which clearly showed that she didn't want to be alone with him.

Ye Qingya suggested going to a nearby teahouse. Qiao Rulong discovered that Ye Qingya was beginning to have his own ideas. In the past, he was basically the one who arranged all matters, big or small.

After sitting down, Qiao Rulong picked up the tea menu, and Ye Qingya said, "No need to bother, make a pot of Dianhong."

Qiao Rulong nodded. Anyway, the purpose of today was not to drink tea.

Ye Qingya raised her wrist to check the time and said softly, "Boss Qiao, please feel free to say whatever you want to say. Chunliang is still waiting for me, and I can't delay too long."

An unspeakable feeling was spreading in Qiao Rulong's heart. She called herself Mr. Qiao, but called Xu Chunliang Chunliang. In her heart, her ex-husband, with whom she had once lived together, was not as important as a sworn brother whom she had just recognized not long ago. Qiao Rulong reminded herself not to be jealous. After all, he had never loved Ye Qingya, and they had already divorced. No matter who Ye Qingya chose now, he had no right to interfere. But everyone knew the truth, but it was difficult to balance in her heart.

Qiao Rulong forced a smile: "Qingya, although we are divorced, we are still husband and wife after all. I think we can at least be friends, right?"

Ye Qingya shook her head: "Mr. Qiao, I am very picky about my friends. It is impossible for you and I to be friends."

"I know, I'm sorry for you, and it's reasonable for you to hate me."

Ye Qingya smiled calmly: "I don't hate you. If I loved you, I might hate you, but we both know what the starting point of our marriage is. I don't love you, so there's no point in me hating you."

Qiao Rulong thought Ye Qingya deliberately used such words to provoke him. He believed that Ye Qingya liked him in the past, and even admired him: "Qingya, don't say that. I know I have caused you a lot of harm..."

"You didn't understand, or you can't accept the reality? Qiao Rulong, I used to think of you as a good brother, and I hoped to be a good friend with you, but I never had the so-called love for you. I don't have any feelings for you, and I don't have any expectations for marriage. I married you because I wanted to be a good daughter of the Ye family and didn't want to go against the opinions of the elders. You are the same. Our marriage was a mistake from the beginning."

Qiao Rulong pursed his lips tightly, feeling as if his heart was stabbed by a knife. He didn't expect Ye Qingya to say this. In her eyes, he was just a stranger.

Ye Qingya picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "No matter what you want to talk to me about today, I hope we won't meet again in the future. I don't want to hurt anyone, and I don't want others to cause trouble to my peaceful life."

Qiao Rulong said: "I never thought of hurting you..."

Ye Qingya looked at Qiao Rulong indifferently and said, "You are a very conceited person. What you said just now means that you think I will definitely be hurt by you, and then you can naturally apologize to me. I thought that after so many things happened, you should have become more mature, but I found that you still look at things so one-sidedly. You can't hurt me. Your private life hurts my family and my family's face. After I divorced you, we broke off the relationship. You can no longer hurt my family. You can only hurt your Qiao family. I hope you can wake up and stop being so selfish in the future."

Qiao Rulong's expression was extremely awkward. Ye Qingya's sobriety only highlighted his confusion. He felt more depressed than ever before. How could Ye Qingya, who was oblivious to the world outside, teach him a lesson? Qiao Rulong said, "Yes, I am confused and selfish. I am not as noble as you. You are so noble that you let people live in your studio. Aren't you afraid of gossip from the outside world? Aren't you afraid of damaging your family's reputation?"

Ye Qingya was not angry at all. She looked at Qiao Rulong calmly and said, "You really don't understand me at all. It's not anyone else's turn to tell me how Xu Chunliang and I get along. I know what you are thinking. It doesn't matter. You can think whatever you want."

"He is simply taking advantage of you. He is taking advantage of your Ye family!" Qiao Rulong was a little angry and embarrassed. Wang Jiancheng was right. There must be something wrong with Ye Qingya and Xu Chunliang.

Ye Qingya smiled and said, "No one can avoid being used by others in this world, but it can be divided into two types: active and passive. If Chunliang wants to use me, I am willing to be used by him. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Qiao Rulong was stunned. Was this still the Ye Qingya he knew? Was she overwhelmed by her emotions or had Xu Chunliang cast a spell on her?

Ye Qingya raised her watch and looked at the time.

Qiao Rulong said: "Qingya, you should know about him and Xiaoxue. At the beginning, he wanted to make a class leap by pursuing Xiaoxue. Fortunately, Xiaoxue saw through his motives in time and took the initiative to break up with him. He saw that there was no hope and actually set his sights on you." Under normal circumstances, Qiao Rulong might not have said such words, but Ye Qingya's attitude completely broke his defenses, and he felt unprecedented hatred for Xu Chunliang.

Ye Qingya's eyes turned cold: "Qiao Rulong, please don't destroy the last bit of respect I have for you. Before today, I thought you were at least a man who could take it or leave it, but now it seems that you are just a villain."

Qiao Rulong's heart twitched violently. Ye Qingya actually used such words to insult him.

Ye Qingya would not allow anyone to insult Xu Chunliang. She said coldly, "You are used to doing things from your own perspective. You don't bother to understand the people around you, even your family. Xiaoxue chose to break up with Xu Chunliang because of the pressure from her family, which also includes you. Chunliang never thought about getting anything from your Qiao family. The reason why he didn't force it was because he didn't want to embarrass Xiaoxue. In fact, you know very well that Xiaoxue has not been able to let him go until now. Chunliang's position in her heart is far better than yours."

"You bullshit!"
