Chapter 490

Three days before He Ji Fan and Dou Weir’s wedding.

Ye Qing Xin sends the wedding gift to Bi Yun mansion.

Both of them sit down and chat for a while. Then Dou Weir gets a call from Shen Shen (Auntie). She looks at the phone for a while and answers it. “Hello.” Her tone sounds estranged.

“Weir, I heard that you will hold your wedding on the 15th. I plan tomorrow to go to Jing City with train. A wedding is once in a lifetime, how could you not invite your family to your wedding? Don’t worry, we will not make you embarrassed.”

Dou Weir is married. She has been hesitated whether she should tell her Shu Shu (Uncle) and Shen Shen (Auntie) about it. But at last she decides not to tell them. For them, she is just their ATM. So what if they know about her marriage? Will they bless them sincerely?”

“How do you know about this?” Her hometown is so far away from Jing City. Her Shu Shu and Shen Shen don’t know anyone here.

“Of course there was someone told us about it. Weir Ah. You should not dislike us for to be poor. You should let us to come. Weir ah don’t forget. We are poor but you grew up with us.”

Dou Weri is annoyed: “Shen Shen, I lived with you when I was a little girl. Of course we know each other well. Why should you pretend to be a good Shen Shen? Tell me what do you want? I don’t arrange places for you guys for my wedding.”

Her words are harsh.

Dou Weir has watched her Shen Shen’s act for a long time. She could endure it before but now she has no reason to watch it.

“Miao Miao is sick. The doctor told us she needs 200,000.”

Dou Weir is silent and says. “Huh. Shen Shen, Miao Miao is your own grandchild. He is small, how could curse him to be sick?”

“I’m not lying!” Mother Dou is unhappy. “Miao Miao is sick, will you give us the money? It’s only 200,000. You even have a bag to buy. How could you be so stingy?”

Hearing her tone, Dou Weir just knows that Miao Miao is well.

“Shen Shen, have you ever heard that you need to be reasonable to discuss something? In the future, if you need money, you should look for a way by yourself. Don’t look for me.” Then she just hangs up without waiting for any reply.

Ye Qing Xin puts down her cup of tea: “Your Shen Shen is looking for you for money again?”

Dou Weir closes her eyes to calm her feeling. “Just ignore her. I could tolerate her before but there’s no reason for me to do it. I want to shake them off.” Then she laughs and shifts the topic. “What do you think of the name that I chose? He Gui Yuan. Or He Sui Chuan. I want to choose the name is compatible with Zhou Zhou’s He Chi Zhou. So everyone will know that they are brothers.”

“It’s quite good.” Ye Qing Xin says. “ Tell me the time I chose names for my daughter, why don’t I look around those classical Chinese poem.”

“It shows that you are stupid.” Dou Weir flips open Tang poetry and Shi Jing.

In April when they were going to have checkup, the doctor told her that the baby will be a boy. Originally Dou Weir hoped that the baby will be a girl. She is afraid that the baby boy will be womanizer like He Ji Fan.

At night when He Ji Fan is back, Dou Weir asks her about what her Shen Shen asked her. At last she asks: Did you tell her about it? They don’t have anyone close here.”

He Ji Fan laughs and says: “Our marriage is not a secret. Your Tang Ge and Tang Sao used to stay here. There should be someone telling them about this. Don’t think too much about it. In the future don’t answer it, if you don’t want to answer. They cannot do anything.”

Dou Weir also doesn’t feel afraid of it.

She nods and says: “I already move them into my blacklisted contact list. In the future, they cannot call me anymore.”

Dou Weir doesn’t get any call anymore from them. She thought that it’s all in the past. Yet two days later, the night before the wedding day, a guard calls the mansion. She said that there’re relatives in front of the gate.

She looks at the screen and notices three familiar faces. Her heart is full of complex feelings.

Mother Dou and Father Dou brings Miao Miao over too. In October the weather is very cold. These two days it’s raining so hard. The temperature is so low. Mother Dou and Father Dou don’t know that the weather in hometown and Jing City is very different.

They are wearing thin clothes. Miao Miao is also wearing thin clothes. She is wearing short sleeve t-shirt and shorts. She is so cold.

Dou Weir let them get inside.

Zhou Zhou sees Miao Miao and he is excited to see friend. Now he isn’t afraid of strangers anymore. He shares his delicious food and toys for Miao Miao.

Miao Miao just ignores ZhoU Zhou and wants Dou Weir to hold him.

Dou Weir thinks of her baby so she just feeds Miao Miao warm water and pampers Miao Miao to go and play with Zhou Zhou.

“Why are you here?” Dou Weir just asks directly. She doesn’t sound welcoming.

“Tomorrow it’s your wedding, how could we not appear?” Mother Dou looks around.

She doesn’t know that her niece will have this kind of beautiful house. The first time for her to come over.

“You are our own niece.” Mother Dou says: “Your wedding, how could we not come? Everyone will criticize behind our back? Moreover, tomorrow if we don’t appear, maybe He family will laugh at you and criticize you. We will stay at the small hotel near the train station, we will go to the hotel tomorrow.”

“What? Why should you guys come over? I don’t care what others say to me.”

“You don’t care about it, but I and Shu Shu cannot bear to see you suffer. Don’t worry. I and your Shu Shu have bought very good clothes. We guarantee that we will look honorable. For you we have worked so hard.”

“......” Dou Weir doesn’t know why Shu Shu and Shen Shen are here. She doesn’t think they have a good intention.

“I’ll send you guys to the hotel first.” Dou Weir shifts the conversation.

“Why should we stay at the hotel? It’s a waste of money. Your house is so big, you should have empty room over here. We can stay ehre.” Mother Dou says and looks around.

Dou Weir looks at the greediness on her face, and says ruthlessly: “I’ll send you to the hotel.”

Mother Dou looks unhappy: “You don’t want to stay here with your family? Or because you despise us? You think you are a ‘phoenix’ now that you marry into a rich family?”

“Stop it.” Father Dou reminds Mother Dou and smiles: “Don’t take offense with her words. We have booked a room near the station, we will go over soon.”

Dou Weir glances at Miao Miao and sends them back to the hotel.

Mother Dou is a bit reluctant to follow Dou Weir. Dou Weir books a room at nearby. Dou Weir books a standard room for them.

Comparing to the mansion, it’s nothing. But it’s better than the hotel near the station.

“What so great about her that she doesn’t let us to stay at her mansion? Is she dislike us to be poor?” Mother Dou sits down on her bed and is so angry.

She is thinking why she didn’t have a daughter. If she had a daughter, she would be rich. She would have a better life.

“Stop it, don’t forget our motivation to be here.”

Mother Dou shuts up and says after a while. “That Dou Weir is just a thankless wretch. How could she act this way to us?”

Dou Jin Wen took He Ji Fan’s money to do business, yet he failed to earn money. He seems to be addicted to gamble. He keeps on investing but he loses all the money. He wants to ask for Dou Weir’s help.

But no there’s no Nai Nai, he has nothing to control Dou Weir. Because of Nai Nai’s matter, Dou Weir also hates him so much.

The time he is was losing his way, someone called him and told that Dou Weir and He Ji Fan will hold their wedding soon. It gave him an idea. He said that Dou Weir has no parents. She will be laughed if she has no family beside her. So he persuades her parents to bring the relatives too to attend Dou Weir’s wedding. Maybe it will make Dou Weir helps them.

That call was from a stranger man, he seemed to have a good understanding about Dou Weir’s family.

“No matter whether we could let Dou Weir let go her prejudice or not toward us. After all, she is my niece. We are her only family. She is getting married, how could we not come? Tomorrow mind your words. Don’t let her lose her face. If she loses her face, our Dou Family will be too.”

Mother Dou sneers lightly: “You think that your Dou Family has a great reputation?”

.........

He Ji Fan knows about the news, he is expressionless, he just says: “Since they are here, just let them attend. I will let the hotel arranges more tables.”

“But...” Dou Weir is hesitant.

She isn’t afraid that someone mocks her for her poor family, but she is afraid that He family will be laughed because of her.

He Ji Fan hugs her and comforts her: “It’s great. You have no parents beside you,you can let your Shu Shu substitutes your father’s role.”

Dou Weir says: “Our relatives are not the same as yours, you aren’t afraid that they....”

“You are talking about stupid things.” He Ji Fan says: “They might not be able to wear good clothes and speak with high remarks but they are human too. We are equal.”

Dou Weir has known him for so long. It’s the first time she hears him saying something so profound.

“Alright, then I’ll listen to you.” Dou Weir smiles happily. She is touched by his words.

A bride without her parents will be a joke. Some might empathize with her but some might mock her.

Dou Weir has doubts about it, but she doesn’t tell He Ji Fan about it.

The next day, on October 15th.

Dou Weir and He Ji Fan omit out the ritual of the groom picks up the bride from her home to escort her to the wedding and just directly holds the wedding.

Dou Weir’s auntie brings several relatives to visit Dou Weir, they give her red envelopes. They are wearing appropriate clothes. They are happy and giving her blessing. They also act politely.

“”Xiao Meng, those people are your daughter in-law’s relative?” Chen Meng’s childhood friend asks her.

Of course though Dou family wears new cloth but it’s not expensive.

Chen Meng laughs: “Yes, they come from far away places. It’s great that they are sincere.” She smiles kindly. Yet inside her heart she really wants to kick all of them out.

“It’s good that you have a good temper, if it’s me, I’ll kick them up. It’s too embarrassing.”

Chen Meng smiles: “Our He family isn’t a family that just focuses on the wealth. Since they are married, we are all family. Moreover all of us are human right? We are equal. We just have a bit more money. We should’t see those who have no money to be something else right?”

She is somehow ‘slapping’ those who mock Dou family.

Chen Meng’s childhood friend: “......”
