After a while, she calms down and says: “Since he is your biological son, you’ll not stay quiet and not help him.”
Tai Zheng Ting laughs. “He is just an idiot, why he is worthy of my fifty million? But if you want me to help him, it’s not impossible. As long you promise to follow me, now I’ll ask someone to take him out of that mental hospital. Also your Ma, I’ll arrange the best hospital for her. The best one. I’ll also ask the best doctor, what about it?”
Ye Qing Xin clutches her phone.
She asks: “Since you don’t care even a bit for Xiao Guo, then why are you taking care of our family?”
“Why?” Tai Zheng Ting laughs: “Because of you, Xin Xin. Since the first time I saw you, I like you…….”
Ye Qing Xin’s eyes turn cold, she just hangs up.
She feels disgusted.
She sits on the corner of the departure hall.
She looks at Jing Bo Yuan’s phone number. After a while, she dials.
Ye Jun Dong will not help them. Her mother is in critical condition, she couldn’t delay it. Xiao Guo also needs to be saved. If not Li family will do worse.
If she needs to choose between Tai Zheng Ting or Jing Bo Yuan, then she will choose Jing Bo Yuan.
Fifty million, she will repay him slowly.
It’s just.
“Sorry, the number you dial is switched off. Please try againlater.”
Ye Qing Xin is dispirited.
She holds her phone and sits down quietly.
Before boarding she calls again. But it’s still off.
The time she arrives at S city, she calls him again. But it’s off.
She is in despair. She puts her phone away and doesn’t call hima gain.
She needs to take a bus for two hours to go to T city.
The time she arrives in the hospital, Zhou Qiao Qiao is awake. But she is so weak.
The doctor in charge tells Ye Qing Xin: “Let me say a sentence of conscience. It’s better for you to transfer Zhou Qiao Qiao. T city’s hospital has been ordered by Li family to not treat her. It’s better for you to transfer to the hospital in the other city or provincial hospital. It’s useless to stay here. Without medicine, she will not last long….”
Zhou Qiao Qiao immediately responds: I, I’ll not go… Xiao Guo is here, I’ll not go anywhere….”
Actually Ye Qing Xin also thinks about it on the way here.
Zhou Qiao Qiao needs a treatment.
“Ma, let’s transfer to another hospital first okay, then we’ll come back. If not your health will be worse, what will you do then for Xiao Guo? And me?”
Zhou Qiao Qiao is crying: “I am afraid the time I go away, I cannot return. I’ll not go, even though I’ll be dead, I will die here…..”
“Ma….”
“Don’t persuade me again. I’ll not go.” Zhou Qiao Qiao says: “Why are you here? Have you met your uncle?”
Ye Qing Xin: “No.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao: “Give me my phone. I’ll call him again. If he knows that Xiao Guo is in trouble, he will not stay quiet.”
Ye Qing Xin: “……”
As expected, Tai Zheng Ting doesn’t answer his call.
Ye Qing Xin just sits on the other side and watches her calling him.
She thinks about something then asks Song Jiu to stay and take care of Zhou Qiao Qiao. Then she goes to the nearby bag store and buys a big one. Then she goes to the back. The bag is filled with money. She uses Auntie Wen’s card to take one million and takes taxi to the Li house.
Her mother doesn’t want to leave, she just want to let Li family be more lenient.
Li family is located in the north side of T city.
The time she comes, Li family seems to have feast. A lot of cars stop at their mansion.
The maid looks at her and asks politely: “You come here to see our Master? Our master is having guests today, I’m afraid he will not be able to see you today.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and says politely: “Then help me to say to Mr Li that I bring money to compensate. He will be willing to meet me.”
The maid is hesitating for a while and says: “Let me ask him.”
After ten minutes, the maid comes back and takes her inside.
The maid takes her to the pool side and points to a chair: “You can sit down here, our master will come out soon.”
She waits until nine o’clock in the evening.
Ye Qing Xin is so tired.
Finally at ten o’clcok, Li Liang comes out. His body is smell bad with mix of alcohol and tobacco.
Ye Qing Xin stands up and smiles politely. “Mr Li.”
Li Liang smiles but his eyes show that he has no good intention.
“I heard that you bring the money here?”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say anything and just opens her bag.
Li Liang looks at it and smiles: “There’s no fifty million here.”
Ye Qing Xin: “This is one million. You can see it as my respect to you. As long ass you be more lenient and says to the hospital to treat my doctor. I’ll work to earn that fifty million. I just need a bit more time. Please Mr Li, give me more time.”
She adds: “It’s a deal as long as you do it, you will also not be disadvantaged.”
Li Liang smiles. He looks at her: “I don’t expect that you can show up here with one million with just few days. I really look down at you.”
“Really?” Ye Qing Xin be a bit sarcastic: “Since you looked down at me, why at the first place you asked me for fifty million? Are you purposely make someone do something she is unwilling?”
Li Liang’s smile disappear. He watches Ye Qing Xin’s eyes.
Li Liang is quite surprised looking at how calm she is when she is facing him.
After a while: “You are a bold one, you are different, no wonder….”
He doesn’t say anything more and takes his cigarette to smoke it.
She feels something is wrong in his words: “No wonder what?”
Li Liang laughs and doesn’t answer. He blows the smoke to her face and let her choke.
Ye Qing Xin frowns and shows her unhappy expression.
“Bring this money home.” Li Liang suddenly stands up and wants to go.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t understand: “Why? With just your word, you can get one million, why aren’t you willing to agree?”
Li Liang smiles: “Your little brother harmed my son, are you forget about that?”
Ye Qing Xin is startled and says apologetically: “that’s right, that’s my brother’s mistake. I apologize to you for it. I am willing to compensate. You already send him to the mental hospital right? My Ma is innocent, please be generous……”
Li Liang snorts: “a kid should be punish with his father, he has no matter so the mother will be fine.”
Ye Qing Xin cannot control her emotion: “Mr Li, don’t bully us too ruthless! As they say, fortunes rise and fall. You should be good. Maybe one day, you will be trampled by someone!”
Li Liang looks at her and just laughs: “then you need to wait the day you trample on my head. Send the guest out!”
The maids comes over and says: “Miss, please.”
The time she comes out from the house, she gets a call from Song Jiu.
Song Jiu’s voice is full of worried. “Xin Xin, it’s not good. Before Auntie Zhou coughed up blood. She didn’t let me to tell you. She didn’t want you to be worried. She’s sleeping now so I called you. When you come back, just pretend you don’t know about it, don’t tell me that you know it from me…..”
Coughed up blood?
Ye Qing Xin’s heart is in pain.
Her body is swaying and she falls down on the road side.
“Xin Xin, are you okay? Why are you quiet?”
Ye Qing Xin tries to control her heart and says calmly: “I’m okay, I’ll come soon.”
“Em, okay. No need to rush it. I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry. Oh right, how is it? Is Li family will be more lenient?”
Ye Qing Xin says: “no.”
Song Jiu is silent and comforts her: “It’s okay. Let’s not rush it. We will find a way. Xin Xin, maybe you can find Wen Ze Yan to help. His father-in-law is mayor, he maybe could help us……”
“Let me think about it.”
She hangs up.
It’s already eleven o’clock at night.
She feels her life is in the darkness. It’s all dark. The sky is dark but it can turn bright. But her life seems to have no possibility to turn bright.
Her phone rings.
Ye Qing Xin raises her phone to see it. It’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.
She couldn’t control her tears.
“Hi, Chief Jing.” Her voice is sobbing.
Because it’s him, so she cannot control it.
Her tears start to fall down.
Jing Bo Yuan’s voice turns tense: “What happened?”
Ye Qing Xin says sobbingly: “My little brother hurt someone, they wanted me to pay fifty million. I don’t have that much. They sent my brother to the mental hospital. They also didn’t let my Ma to get treatment. My Ma is unwell. Tonight she coughed up blood……”
She explains to him. At last she asks: “Chief Jing, can I borrow a bit of money?”
Eight hours ago.
Jing Bo Yuan’s flight landed at Jing City international airprot.
The time he landed, he turned on his phone and got a call from Jing family’s residence that Old Madame Jing falls sick with his chronic illness. It’s a bit serious that she’s in the hospital!
Jing Bo Yuan didn’t delay and just went to the hospital.
Every Jing family member was there, except the Second uncle, Jing Yi.
Old Mister Jing and Old Madame Jing have three son and one daughter. The eldest is Jing Zong, second is Jing Yi, third one is Jing Yan, and their daughter is Jing Si.
Jing Zong is the parent of Jing Bo Yuan.
Jing Yi is unmarried and works as armed forced. He usually is not at home.
JIng Yan has three daughters. Jing Fen Fen, Jing Xian Xian, and Jing Suo Suo.
Jing Si’s ex-husband is Dong Hao Rong, her current husband is Ye Jun Dong and her kid is Ye Lin.
Everyone was at the hospital.
Jing Bo Yuan was raised by his old grandma since he was young. He is close with her, she is more like a mother for him. Now with her critical condition, he didn’t care about anything and just came over.
Luckily, she is okay now.
Everyone is sighing happily.
The time Old Madame Jing woke up, with her teary eyes, she said: “I thought I would not pass this one. Luckily I’m okay. A Yan, I’ve enjoyed everything whether wealth or love. I have no regret. But I haven’t see you marry and have child. I cannot die with ease. The king of hell also cannot take me…. A Yuan, I will not force you marry that Yu Qing You of Sheng family. An awkward arrangement without the consent of the parties concerned is not good. Just like your Pa Ma…..”
Jing Bo Yuan pattede her hand: “You just get better. Don’t say it anymore. Have a rest. Let’s talk later okay.”
Old Madame Jing shook her head: “A Yuan, you are thirty four years old. You already pass the marriage age. Just this year, this year, you get marry okay. Next year you add one more fat grandson for us okay? Just think it as my request….. Em? Okay?”
Jing Bo Yuan was thinking, his mind suddenly appeared Ye Qing Xin’s quite face. It’s the first time he doesn’t hate Old Madame Ye mentions about marriage.
He never replied before. This time He just nodded and said: “Okay.” The time he said it, he’s startled.
He smiles then.
If that person will be her, it seems marriage will not be a disaster.
Because of his parent’s disastrous marriage, he always felt that marriage was a so-called love.
He has chaned.
Hearing his answer, Old Madame Jing smiled: “Okay, you shouldn’t back out. Okay, later on bring the girl that you like. Let me see it….”
“Em, don’t talk anymore. Get a well rest.” Jing Bo Yuan put the Old Madame Jing’s hand inside the blanket.
Old Madame Jing obeys him and closes her eyes.
It’s almost eleven o’clock.
Jing Bo Yuan comes out and wanted to call Auntie Zhang to ask for Ye Qing Xin’s condition.
Yet he noticed a lot of message and missed-call notifications.
He just realized that Ye Qing Xin called him three times.
He remembered that last time Cheng Ru Yu told him that Ye Qing Xin is in some trouble.
He just directly called her.
He didn’t expect that he will her cry.
He waits until she is done with her story. He is furious.
“Where are you now?” He asks.
