Chapter 121

Probably because of examination is close, the atmosphere around the school turns tense.

After the lunch, Ye Qing Xin calls Song Jiu, then calls home. Generally she always calls home everyday or two days.

Zhou Qiao Qiao is quite good, it’s just her coughing is more frequent than before.

“Have you finished the medicines that the doctor gave you?” Ye Qing Xin asks: “Tomorrow I will send you again.”

The medicine that Japanese oncologists prescribed for her is imported from America. It’s expensive and rare. She should ask Jing Bo Yuan for help.

“Didn’t you just send it?” Zhou Qiao Qiao is confused: “Yesterday, I received it. I can use it for three months.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled: “I didn’t.....”

She wants to say that she didn’t send it but she doesn’t finish her words. She knows what happened.

Except her, it’s only Jing Bo Yuan will be mindful about Zhou Qiao Qiao’s illness.

“What?” Zhou Qiao Qiao asks.

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Nothing, ma. This afternoon I’ll transfer money for you. You can buy whatever you want. Don’t save it. You need to be mindful about your food. Don’t eat too oily and spicy food. If the weather is hot, pay attention to the temperature of the AC. Don’t make your body too cool. Also two days ago, I asked Song Jiu to find housemaid for you. This afternoon, she will come, don’t do the houseworks by yourself again. Just let the maid do it. Tell her if you want to eat something. I will transfer her money every month. No need to worry. You take a look whether the maid is good or not. If she is not okay, then call me to tell me......”

Ye Qing Xin is like a worried mother. She talks a lot.

In the past she was poor, she couldn’t do a lot of things. Now she has a bit of money, she wants her mother to be live more comfortably.

The expert says that in later period, the patient’s suffering will be more serious. But Ye Qing Xin still hopes that her mother can live longer.

People always be like that. The time their loved one is suffering, they want their love one to still live for a long time.

“Ma.” If you cannot endure it, then just take the pain killer.”

Zhou Qiao Qiao listens to her quietly and doesn’t say anything.

The time Ye Qing Xin is done, Zhou Qiao Qiao coughs several time then calls her name: “Xin Xin.”

Ye Qing Xin: “em, what?”

“Xin Xin, I’m sorry.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “ma, why do you always apologize to me.”

Zhou Qiao Qiao shifts the topic: “Xin Xin, why are you suddenly installing AC and employing a maid? These thing need a lot of money. How can you have a lot of money? I heard from Jiu Jiu that the medicine is so expensive. A box will cost around ten thousand, how can you.....?”

Zhou Qiao Qiao says: “It’s him that gives it to you right. Xin Xin, he is a good man. You need to treasure him.”

Ye Qing Xin remembers the moment Jing Bo Yuan met her mother. Her mother’s attitude toward him changed one hundred eighty degree.

“Ma, that day.... what did he say to you? Why did you change your impression toward him?”

“Nothing. I just think that he is mature and dependable. He is also sincere man.” Zhou Qiao Qioa once again turns the topic: “I feel a bit tired. I want to sleep again. I’ll hang up first.”

She says it and just hangs up without waiting for Ye Qing Xin’s response.

Ye Qing Xin feels that her mother is hiding something from her.

Also her mother, why she always apologizes to her?

In the afternoon, she is quite busy, she has several uninteresting classes.

At night.

Ye Qing Xin goes to the hospital to visit Dou Weir. On the way, she goes to the fruit supermarket and buys several fruits.

Nearby the supermarket she notices there’s a small bookstore. She gets inside and buys several entertainment magazines.

Dou Weir is bored. She couldn’t play with her phone so Ye Qing Xin buys magazines so she will not be bored.

When she arrives in front of the sickroom. Dou Weir is laying down on her bed and staring blankly.

The two nurses are sitting down on the sofa, chatting and eating sunflower seeds.

Ye Qing Xin gets inside: “Weir.”

Dou Weir turns her head and Ye Qing Xin could notice the sadness on her eyes and her tears.

Ye Qing Xin is startled. “Weir?”

Dou Weir smiles and her eyes change.

“You are here?” She looks at the plastic and smiles: “what are you bringing?”

Ye Qing Xin places the plastic on the table. “I’m afraid that you’ll be bored. So I bought you several magazines and fruits. Do you want to eat now?”

Dou Weir shakes her head: “I don’t have any appetite. I’ll eat it later.”

Ye Qing Xin sits down.

They both are silent for a while.

Then she holds Dou Weir’s hand: “You’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”

For twenty years girl, this thing will be hard. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t know how should she comfort her.

Dou Weir holds her hand back: “Xin Xin, I forgot to thank you for that day. Thank you, Xin Xin. My biggest fortune this lifetime is knowing you>”

Ye Qing Xin: “Weir..... that matter.... what is your plan? That man..... your old friend and Shi Ying.....”

Dou Weir passes a newspaper to Ye Qing Xin: “Look at this.” She then says to the two nurses in her room: “you guys go stroll around first. I want to chat with my friend.”

Jing Cheng evening newspaper,

Ye Qing Xin is confused and takes it. “What is this?”

Dou Weir: “look at the entertainment news headlines.”

‘Shocking: Film industry Big Boss Fang Tian Yu is a beast. These three years, he has drugged and raped at least one hundred woman’

Ye Qing Xin understands it.

Ye Qing Xin looks at her: “that man is Fang Tian Yu?”

Dou Weir doesn’t answer her and says: “Read another one on the other side.”

‘Former days Big Boss of Entertainment Industry is beat up by drunkards and turns disable.’

The news is vague but it should be reported about Fang Tian Yu being beaten by two drunkards. His ribs are fractured, his one arm and leg are fractured too. The most important one his lower part is broken.

Ye Qing Xin understands: “Is it He Ji Fan?”

Dou Weir doesn’t deny it.

Ye Qing Xin purses her. “He likes you but your old friend and Shi Ying.....”

Dou Weir says: “Read that newspaper in detail. In Fang Tian Yu news, it said that he had more than ten accomplices. They are caught. Among them, there’s old friend, Zhou Tong. As for Shi Ying.....”

“For this matter she is very clever. She used my vanity to attract me to let me be trapped. She should understand Fang Tian Yu well. With my appearance, he should feel attracted to me. She doesn’t need to intervene, Fang Tian Yu will help her to eliminate me.”

Using another person to get rid of another.

“She doesn’t involve herself for drugging....... also now she is pregnant. He family also knows about it. She is protected by He family. He Ji Fan cannot do anything, moreover......” Dou Weir laughs mockingly: “How can he attack the woman that is pregnant with his kid.”

She continues: “But it’s okay, Shi Ying wants to be Mrs He right? She likes He Ji Fan right? I just want to snatch the thing she wants!”

Ye Qing Xin is silent.

Ye Qing Xin says: “Weir, I hope that you can marry someone that you like and like you. I hope you can be happy....”

Dou Weir says: “Xin Xin, Do you think someone like me that is ruined, is it possible to get happiness? A man marries a woman. In the beginning, it should be because love. He will not argue whether she can give birth or not, he will not think for a long term consequences. But when the loves is started to fritter away with external and family pressure, they both will start to be tried. That kind of marriage will not last long.”

“Since it cannot last, why should I get into it? Should I wait to be abandoned?”

“Weir, the reality shouldn’t be that tragic. Not all men care about that. The one that really loves you will only care about you.” Ye Qing Xin tries to change her perspective.”

“You said that not all men, but majority is. They care whether they will have kid, it’s not only about the produce heir to continue family line. But also their pride, moreover.....” Dou Weir looks Ye Qing Xin. “If it’s real that there’s a man like this, that can fight external pressure and family pressure and doesn’t care about your lacking, but what about you, can you bear to let him to have no heir?”

Ye Qing Xin feels the pressure.

It’s too hard.

Now she just understands that this thing has harmed Dou Weir greatly. She also understands Dou Weir’s feeling.

“Weir.” She wants to comfort her but she cannot find a words.

After a while, someone comes over to send her food.

Ye Qing Xin stands up and leaves.

On the way home, Ye Qing Xin is in the car with Driver Lu. She sits down quietly on the backseat. Driver Lu is in the call too.

Driver Lu said with someone on the phone: “Lao Chen family might be losing their heir. I’ve met that woman. She looks ordinary. She has divorced also did sterilization operation. Tell me, what is so good about that woman? He is so stubborn that he wants to marry that woman life or death. He makes his father be hospitalized.”

After a while, he says again: “Right, just let it be. Anyway it’s not our business. We can manage it.”

Driver Lu hangs up. Ye Qing Xin asks: “Driver Lu, who was calling you?”

Driver Lu is honest, he is a chatterer. He sighs: “It’s my neighbor. Our neighbor, Lao Chen, has a son. Today his son secretly registered marriage with a divorcee that is seven years older and has sterilization operation. Lao Chen is furious and has a heart attack. He is at hospital. That woman is really evil.”

“She is older and a divorcee, Lao Chen can accept it. But if she cannot give birth, Lao Chen will lose hiss heir? Ay, it’s too evil. Lao Chen’s son is not ugly and not yet married. How can he do this. I don’t know what she gave to his son.”

Ye Qing Xin just listens and doesn’t say anything.

She returns to Nan Shan mansion. Auntie Zhang already cooks but Ye Qing Xin doesn’t have a big appetite.

She then goes up stairs to study. Eight thirty, she takes shower. Jing Bo Yuan is not home yet. She wants to call him to ask but she is afraid that she will disturb him so she just sends him a message.

—- When will you go home?

Then after five minutes.

—- In a little while, you sleep first.

Ye Qing Xin lays on her stomach on the sofa. She sways her both legs. She sighs.

A busy man always goes home late.

She thinks about it, if he is not busy, how can he be in high position?

It should be his sacrifice.

She imagines if Jing Bo Yuan has a messy hair, sloppy beard. He wears dirty t-shirt and shorts. He just plays games everyday. His kitchen is filled with pile of dishes. The ground is scattered with smelly socks and clothes.

She shivers. Comparing two of it, she likes the current Jing Bo Yuan, although he is busy, but he is capable and charming.

She thinks about it and replies.

—- take care of health, don’t be too tired.

After a while, she sends another message.

—- Don’t drink too much, don’t smoke too much.”

She throws her phone away and takes her book again to read.

In front of card table.

Jing Bo Yuan smiles while looking at his phone.

Cheng Ru Yi watches him and he is breathless with wonder: “Ay, ay, Ay. Okay. It’s hard for we to gather to play card. Don’t be fed up with your own girlfriend....... ah....

Then Yu Geng Xin, who is in Cheng Ru Yu’s right, takes out his phone after his phone rings. His face immediately turns bright. He stands up to answer it: “Hello, Xiao Luo....”

Cheng Ru Yu: “......”

Missing one person makes the game cannot continue. “This card game cannot be continued again. Look at your faces. All of you are like love-struck fools. How can old bosses look like that? It’s just a woman. There’re lots of women, what makes them special?”

He talks a lot and no one minds him. Cheng Ru Yu looks at Xiao Yan and asks: “What do you think? Xiao Yan Yan.”

Xiao Yan’s narrow eyes look at him coldly. Cheng Ru Yu shivers and turns stiff.

Then Cheng Ru Yu doesn’t want to talk with Xiao Yan, he is too terrifying.

Then after a while, Yu Geng Xin returns and says: “Xiao Luo asks me out for a movie. Let’s gather next time.” He picks his suit and leaves.

Cheng Ru Yu says: “Watch movie. It’s those young girls’ hobby. They love to take their boyfriend out to watch that kind of mindless romantic movie. Bo Yuan, your young girl frequently asks you out for movie right?”

Jing Bo yuan smokes and answers him without expression: “No.”

Cheng Ru Yu doesn’t believe him: “How is it possible? Now which young girl doesn’t love to go to watch movie? you should take a look at cinema. It’s all filled with young couple. If she doesn’t ask you out, could it be because she thinks you are too old and couldn’t do it?”

He frowns and nods: “I think that’s the case. After all, she is just twenty years old girl. She is fresh and tender rose, you are old meat. After two years, you will have wrinkle. That girl should feel that you are too old....”

Jing Bo Yuan starts to say something else: “This weekend is my grandma’s birthday party. Don’t forget to appear. Fen Fen is expecting for this for a long time. Don’t let her be disappointed.”

Cheng Ru Yu’s face changes. He started to imagine how Fen Fen will react if he comes. He starts to shiver.

Jin Fen Fen likes him since they were young. She loves to follow him but he doesn’t have feeling toward her.

He smiles stiffly: “I’ll let my ma bring the gift over. That day I have a surgery. A case involving human life is one of supreme importance. I’ll not go to Jing Nai Nai’s birthday party.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “Okay. It’s too bad that you have surgery, you’ll have hardship for it. That time I ask Fen Fen to bring some food to the hospital to see you.”

Cheng Ru Yu: “...... No need. I also don’t do something sinful to you.”

Jing Bo Yuan ignores him and just smokes his cigarette. Then he picks up his suit: “I’ll go now.”

On the way home.

The traffic light turns red, Jing Bo Yuan stops the car.

He then unconsciously takes a look at the mirror. Jing Bo Yuan rubs his face, is...... he old?

He arrives at the Nan Shan mansion and parks the on the garage. When he is about to open the door, the door is opened by Ye Qing Xin.

“Bo Yuan, you are home.”

The one that welcomes him is a woman with charming smile and soft voice.

He is startled and feels happy. He strokes her head and asks: “Why are you still awake?”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and takes his slipper for him. She then hugs his arm: “I’m waiting for you, are you hungry? Let me cook something for you.”

Thinking how tired he would be everyday of work, Ye Qing Xin wants to do something for him.

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and says: “I’m not hungry. I’m just thirsty. Pour me a warm water.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Okay, you can go up first and take a shower. I’ll bring it up for you.”

The time Jing Bo Yuan comes out from the bathroom after taking the shower, Ye Qing Xin immediately passes him a glass.

He takes it and asks her casually: “Xin XIn, do you like to go to cinema to watch movie?”

Ye Qing Xin is still reviewing her course for test, she just answers: “I like it, why?” In the past she and Dou Weir went together to watch. She likes 3D one.

Ye Qing Xin is confused why suddenly he asked that kind of question, she just smiles and makes excuse: “Going alone to cinema is uninteresting.”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at Ye Qing Xin. Then he says: “you can ask me to go together.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled. “You with this age, you also like to watch movie?”

Jing Bo Yuan: “.........”
