Yu Qing You turns her face to see the mirror. Her cheeks are swollen. Her eyes are red. Her hair is on a mess.
How can she show her current appearance to Jing Nai Nai?
She always be a grand and elegant woman in front of Jing Nai Nai…..
The footsteps noise are getting even more close.
Yu Qing You tidies up her hair and her dress. She then watches Ye Qing Xin. She is startled.
Ye Qing Xin raises her hands and pinches both of her cheeks. She pinches it until it's so red. Then she messes her hair and tears a part of her dress. Then she walks toward her.
Yu Qing You doesn't understand her action. She is panic and takes a step back.
Ye Qing Xin doesn't want to do anything to her, she just stops near her and then she screams: "Qing You Jie, don't do like that. It hurts, ah……."
Then.
Yu Qing You watches Ye Qing Xin covers her face in front of her.
At this time, Old Madame Jing gets inside the restroom. She looks her precious granddaughter-in-law is on the ground.
"Xin Xin!" Old Madame Jing is surprised and calls after her. She runs over and helps her over.
Ye Qing Xin covers her face and lowers her head. Her white face is red. Her eyes are teary. Her hair is in a mess. Her dress is tore. Her appearance is miserable and pathetic.
Old Madame Jing holds her arm and helps her to stand up. Ye Qing Xin looks at Old Madame Jing. Her tears start to fall down and she says hoarsely: "Nai Nai…"
Old Madame Jing look around. Then she looks at Yu Qing You, who is dressed well. "Tell me, what happened?"
Yu Qing You is confused.
Ye Qing Xin is acting. Yu Qing You knows her intention.
Ye Qing Xin is acting as a victim, she places herself in an advantageous position. She doesn't only gain Old Madame Jing's pity but she also passes all the blame to Yu Qing You.
Yu Qing You understands it now.
Before she doesn't pay attention to it and let Ye Qing Xin to be in advantageous position.
Hearing Old Madame Jing's question makes her panic.
"Jing Nai Nai……"
Yu Qing You is about to say something to explain, but Ye Qing Xin just cuts her off: "Nai Nai, don't blame Qing You Jie, Qing You Jie doesn't do this intentionally……."
Her words clearly imply that Yu Qing You is related to this.
This time the green-dressed woman says: "Old Madame, don't you be deceived by her. Before she hit us. Look at our face, it's so painful……"
Old Madame Jing narrows her eyes and looks at the champagne-dress woman: "Tell me."
She says: "That's right, she is the one that hit us."
Old Madame Jing looks to the woman with the red dress: "you."
Th red-dressed woman just nods.
Old Madame Jing then looks at Yu Qing You's face. "Qing You, I always like you. I think you are well-educated and kind woman. I also believe you the most, tell me what happened."
Yu Qing You bites her lips: "Jing Nai Nai, it's…… it's like they said."
Old Madame Jing looks at her: "Xin Xin hit your face?"
Yu Qing You's eyes turn teary and she nods.
Old Madame Jing doesn't say anything and looks at the light blue- dressed woman: "I see that you are still well-dressed. I saw you before outside. Tell me, what did you do before?"
The light blue-dressed woman is the youngest one. She supposedly only a twenty two or twenty three yers old girl. She is panic: "I, I don't know. I acted as an lookout before. I don't know what happened inside….."
Old Madame Jing is furious: "You act as an lookout? You guys follow me."
The light blue-dressed woman just realizes that she said something wrong, she covers her lips.
Old Madame Jing holds Ye Qing Xin to go out and says to other girls: "What are you guys doing? Aren't you following me?"
Old Madame Jing then says to Jing Yi: "Go back to the hall and ask these five woman's family member to go to the resting area. Today I want to ask them, what they did.
Ye Qing Xin holds Old Madame Jing's hand. Her eyes are teary. "Nai Nai, don't be angry. I'm okay. Really, don't be furious for me."
Old Madame Jing tidies up her hair and rubs her red face: "Good kid, Nai Nai will not let someone mistreat you."
Ye Qing Xin feels the pain on her cheek.
She is not acting in pain, she indeed pinched her face too much. Now her face is red and swollen.
This time several female guests come to the restroom. The time they greet Old Madame Jing. They look at Ye Qing Xin and Yu QIng You.
It's a public secret that Yu Qing You likes Jing Bo Yuan. So those female guests could guess what had happened.
Yu Qing You is harassing Ye Qing Xin. They all look at her with judging gaze.
Yu Qing You feels embarrassed because of their gazes.
Old Madame Jing takes Ye Qing Xin to go to the resting area.
Jing Yi then says to Yu Qing You: "Let's go to the resting area.
When she comes out of the restroom, Ye Qing Xin notices Jing Bo Yuan is smoking nearby.
He is tall and so charismatic. Her heart is beating so fast.
Jing Bo Yuan looks over and notices her face is red. Her current state is too miserable. Jing Bo Yuan's gaze turns dark.
He comes closer to her and touches her swollen red face: "What happened?"
Ye Qing Xin doesn't answer her and says: "Smoking harms your health, don't smoke too frequent."
Old Madame Jing watches Ye Qing Xin's action, she feels satisfied and happy . A wife should be virtuous and able. She doesn't request for a high-class granddaughter-in-law. She wants a well-educated and well-mannered woman. A woman that is sincere toward her grandson. A woman that gives birth to several chubby grand grandson. It'll be enough.
Old Madame Jing can see the sincereness and attentiveness from Ye Qing Xin to Jing Bo Yuan.
Then Jing Bo Yuan notices Yu Qing You and several other women. He understands what happened.
He takes Ye Qing Xin's hand from Old Madame Jing and he clutches her hand. He takes her to the resting area.
Yu Qing You feels that Jing Bo Yuan treated her as a stranger. She feels sad. She feels it's unfair.
Why?
It's clear that she is the one that grew up with him. She knows him for more than thirty years. How can for that lowly little girl, he ignores her?
All of them arrive at the resting area.
Very quickly the family of the five women gather inside.
Inside the resting area.
Old Mister and Old Madame Jing sit down on the center. The other sit down surround them.
Ye Qing Xin sits down beside Jing Bo Yuan.
Old Madame Jing says to all of them: "I call you guys here. I believe that you guys know what happened. If you don't then you can ask your daughter about their action. For this incident, you guys should make it clear to me."
Sheng Wen Qiong and Yu Wei look at Yu Qing You. Of course as a parent, they could guess what had happened.
But Sheng family has a great relationship with Jing family. Old Mister and Old Madame Sheng are here too. Old Madame Jing probably will not do anything bad to Yu Qing You.
Sheng Wen Qiong looks Old Madame Jing and smiles: "A kid is insensible. Fighting is inevitable. Though Qing You was hit too. But today is Old Madame's good day. For this matter just let it go. It's just two slaps. We are also reasonable ones."
Her words seem to throw all the blame to Ye Qing Xin. She wants to show that she is magnanmous
Yu Wei Wang pulls Sheng Wen Qiong's sleeve.
Old Madame Jing notices Sheng Wen Qiong's intention.
She laughs: "You are saying that it's Qing You that suffered losses? So it's our Jing family's fault, should I compensat eyou?"
Sheng Wen Qiong smiles: "I don't mean tht way…"
"Old Madame Jing ignores her then looks at the woman with light blue dress: "Say it, what happened. Tell us honestly. Don't make us fools!"
The light-blue dressed woman's parent is there. Her father slaps her: "Shameful! Tell us the truth!"
That woman is the youngest one in a group, she just cries and tells the truth. " I really don't know what happened. That time Miao Miao Jie asked me to go out to be an lookout. There're Qing You Jie, Miao Miao Jie, Mei Mei Jie, and Ke Xin Jie, and….." She points at Ye Qing Xin and continues: "And her inside…."
All of them look t Yu Qing You.
If there's someone that has a grudge toward Ye Qing Xin, it should be Yu Qing You. Everyone knows her feeling toward Jing Bo Yuan. Today she should be unhappy because Ye Qing Xin comes to the party as Jing Bo Yuan's future wife.
Sheng Wen Qiong speaks up: "Since she doesn't know what happened. Then shouldn't we ask ones that were there Qing You, tell us."
This matter shouldn't be known to the public, if not, how can they place Sheng family's honor?
It's just Old Madame Jing asks the light blue-dressed woman again: "Since they asked you to be a lookout, then you should know what was their paln."
The light blue dressed-woman looks at their parents and her father just slaps her again: "Why are you looking at me? Old Madame is asking you question, answer her!"
She answers: "That time we were badmouthing her. We didn't expect her to be there. She heard it. We were afraid that she would report us so we stopped her to come out. Then she attacked us with words. Miao Miao Jie was angry and asked me out. They blocked her out……."
Her voice is trembling: "I don't know what happened after that. The time I returned. I just saw Miao Miao Jie and several others on the ground. Qing You Jie was raising her high heels and wanted to pound her….."
Everyone could understand what happened now.
The green-dressed woman stands up and wants to say something. Her mother pinches her waist and warns her: "Control yourself, don't make this become a big trouble!"
"HE!" Old Madame Jing laughs coldly and slaps the table. "This group of women unexpectedly made a mess during my birthday party. They worked as a group to bully my granddaughter-in-law? Are you looking down at me? Do you think that we are nothing!"
Everyone is surprised to Old Madame Jing's anger.
After a while.
The mother of green-dressed woman slaps the green- dressed woman.
"Ma?" She is shocked. Her tears falls down. Her mother never slaps her. Her face is hurt, her heart is also hurt.
"Ma what is Ma, apologize to Old Madame Jing!"
"Why should I! I just talked several bad words. I wanted to hit her but I even didn't hit her, she hit me! Look at my face, look at my hair, it's her doing! Why should I apologize!"
"You……..!" Her mother slaps her again: "You were the one that started it? How can you act that way Jing family young Madame? Is her swollen face unrelated to you? You made a mistake and you should admit it bravely. If you don't apologize, I will apologize for you, but I will not take you as my daughter again!"
The green-dressed woman is panic, she comes to her mother to stop her: "Ma, I'll apologize. I'm sorry, don't be angry…"
Then she walks toward Ye Qing Xin and says: "I'm sorry."
Her mother says: "Be more sincere. Bow down. Speak louder."
The green-dressed woman bows down with her teary eyes. She says loudly: "I'm sorry. Please forgive me."
When she is done, Ye Qing Xin stands up and acts like she doesn't dare enough to accept it: "Don't be like this. I know that you don't do it intentionally. I will not take it personally."
Then her mother bows down to Old Madame Jing: "I'm sorry for this incident. It's my fault that I pamper her too much. I'll teach her again, I promise this will not happen again. Please forgive us."
Three other women also do the same thing. They apologize and leave.
At last it's only Sheng and Jing family inside the room.
Sheng Wen Qion is an arrogant and self-important person, of course she is unwilling to slap her daughter for Ye Qing Xin. She pushes Yu Qing You: "No matter whose fault is it, you go apologize and let this go."
This clearly shows that they are willingly to bear the disgrace of apologize.
Yu Qing You looks at Old Madame Jing with her teary eyes: "Jing Nai Nai…… I…. I didn't hit her…."
Old Madame Jing says directly: "If it's not because of you, how can those young women made thing hard for our Xin Xin? Yu Qing You, I didn't expect you to be a crafty woman. In the past, Jing Bo Yuan didn't have anyone that he liked. You like A Yuan and I supported it. But now A Yuan has Xin Xin. If you really like A Yuan, you should bless him and not plan to bully Xin Xin!"
Old Madame Jing seems to differentiate her from Ye Qing Xin's position. She said "Our Xin Xin" and "Yu Qing You".
Yu Qing You doesn't believe her fate: "Jing Nai Nai….."
Because Jing Bo Yuan likes Ye Qing Xin. Ye Qing Xin can easily snatch her position in Old Madame Jing's heart.
She really cannot apologize to Ye Qing Xin.
For what. She is the one that slapped. How can she apologize to her?
Yu Qing You looks at Yu Geng Xin, who always fonds of her. "Ge (Bro), I really didn't hit her. Help me to talk to Bo Yuan, I didn't hit her. Why should I apologize?"
Yu Geng Xin looks at her but he doesn't say anything.
Jing family members are waiting for her apology.
After a while, Jing Fen Fen says: "Nai Nai, I see that Qing You Jie's face is swollen too. If not let her to treat it first….."
Jing Yi pinches her daughter.
Jing Fen Fen shuts her mouth.
Old Madame Jing then says to Ji Yi: " San Xi Fu (Third daughter-in-law) Go out and tell a waiter to boil two eggs for Xin Xin to roll on her face."
Jing Fen Fen tries to intervene again: "Boil two more for Qing You Jie…"
Ji Yi pinches her daughter again.
Next moment.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at his watch: "It's too late. Everyone should go home by now. For today's incident, I don't know how would Yu Shu Shu (Uncle Yu) solve this?"
The silence Old Madame Sheng says to Old Madame Jing: 'For me, please spare Qing You once."
Old Madame Jing remains stubborn: "I just have one granddaughter-in-law. Look at her current state now? Her face is swollen, her dress is torn. You should know that when they bullied my granddaughter-in-law, they didn't spare her. For this matter, you should make it clear."
Old Madame Sheng feels awkward and embarrassed. She stands up and holds Old Mister Mu to go out. She doesn't want to handle this.
Yu Wei finally speaks up: "The company prepares to open a branch at Qing City. We haven't appointed a person-in-charge. Qing You, go over there."
Qing City is three thousand kilometer away from Jing City. It wouldn't easy for her to come back if she goes there.
Sheng Wen Qiong opposes it: "Are you crazy? How can you move her there? If she moves, I cannot meet hr often. Moreover what kind of city is Qing city? It keeps on flooding? How can you be so ruthless?"
