Yu Geng Xin takes a step back.
What did he hear before….?
Sheng Wen Qiong keeps on talking, “Why should I lower my voice! At the worst, it’ll be life-and-death struggle! I have enough. In the past, when Sheng Wen Jun was still alive, they loved Sheng Wen Jun more, now Sheng Wen Jun is gone, they love Sheng Wen Jun’s daughter. I really have enough. It’s their fault, they keep on pressuring me!”
She turns mad.
“Enough, you want to let everyone know what happened eighteen years ago!” Yu Wei says angrily: “Then now go and tell your Pa Ma, what did you do eighteen years ago!”
Yu Wei stops Sheng Wen Qiong. Yu Wei opens the door.
The door is opened and both Yu Wei and Sheng Wen Qiong notice Yu Geng Xin in front of the door.
Yu Geng Xin’s face looks terrified. With one look, both Yu Wei and Sheng Wen Qiong know that Yu Geng Xin hears their conversation.
Yu Wei is startled and Sheng Wen Qiong is startled too. Sheng Wen Qiong feels like she is sprayed by a cold water. Her face turns pale.
“A Xin……” She calls him.
Yu Geng Xin looks at Sheng Wen Qiong like he never knows his own mother.
He never thought that his mother is a ruthless one. He always though that she has a bad temper because she is born in rich family. Her words are harsh.
Who knows….
“A Xin… hear me out….. it’s not like what you think…. before….. I just….. just…..” Sheng Wen Qiong turns panic know. She wants to find excuse.
Yu Geng Xin laughs “He he… I never thought that you guys….” he points at Sheng Wen Qiong: “You guys unexpectedly did those illegal thing.”
“I…. I also did it for you and QIng You. I don’t want that your Biao Mei lives better than you….” Sheng Wen Qiong pulls Yu Geng Xin’s arm.
Yu Geng Xin moves away: “Don’t touch me!” He says coldly: “For me and Qing You! You sound so great, but is it really for us, or is it for your own selfishness? It’s humiliation if anyone knows that I have this kind of mother, you think this is for me? When you did all that, don’t you feel guilty everyday?”
Yu Geng Xin is emotional, he doesn’t control his voice.
Sheng Wen Qiong looks around and notices there are several maids around: “what are you saying, don’t you have work to do?”
The maids just goes down.
“A Xin, you misunderstand. It’s not like what you think. I and your Pa… we… we are fighting so we say nonsense. Don’t think that is real…..”
She keeps on making excuses.
“A Xin….”
“You make me feels shameful.” Yu Geng Xin gives her the white phone and leaves.
Sheng Wen Qiong’s face turns even paler.
Because of the loud voice, it disturbs Old Madame Sheng, who staying at the first floor. She opens the door to take a look and just sees a figure walks passes her door. It’s Yu Geng Xin.
“A Xin, what is it? What are you guys fighting about? Where are you going?”
“….” Yu Geng Xin says nothing and just leaves. He slams the door shut.
Pak!
“What happened to that kid.” Old Madame Sheng looks over and notices Sheng Wen Qiong with her pale face.
“What are you guys doing? You’re fighting. You are grown-up, why should you guys fight?” Old Madame Sheng says.
Sheng Wen Qiong is still thinking about Yu Geng Xin’s words.
He feels like she makes him feel humiliated.
For what she did, she will not deny that it’s because of her selfishness but she also does it for Yu Geng Xin and Yu Qing You. She doesn’t hope her own kids lives under Sheng Yan Xin’s light.
That year Sheng Yan Xin was just three years old, she got all the love from both Sheng and Yan family. She lived like a princess, she glowed.
That time her kids, because Yu Wei didn’t come from rich family. She felt that her kids were not treasured and not enjoyed exceptional advantages like Sheng Yan Xin.
She did those thing not only because she was jealous of Sheng Wen Jun but for her kdis too. After Sheng Wen Jun passed away, she feels that their life start to get better.
“Wen Qiong, what happened? You look so pale?” Old Madame Sheng asks her.
Sheng Wen Qiong regains herself and calms down. “I’m okay.” She says: “A Xin told me about his wedding with Jiang Xiao Lou, I don’t agree so he argued with me. I will persuade him to choose another woman.”
Then Sheng Wen Qiong returns to her room.
Yu Wei is still inside the room, he is smoking.
“What are you doing? Are you worrying that A Xin will tell everyone.” Sheng Wen Qiong smiles coldly: “I am his mother, he will not sacrifice ties of blood ot righteousness.”
Yu Wei says: “It’s better if that is the case.”
The white land rover starts to move toward Nan Shan mansion number 8.
Ye Qing Xin thinks about what Old Madame Sheng and Old Mister Sheng did today. She knows that they did all that for her, to protect her.
She feels thankful for their care. She thinks that she has done nothing much for them.
It’s silent inside the car.
Suddenly she speaks up: “I want to Shang Cheng to buy something.”
Jing Bo Yuan: “What do you want to buy?”
Ye Qing Xin: “Gift.”
Jing Bo Yuan: “It’s too late, next time.”
Ye Qing Xin hugs his arm and acts like a spoiled child: “I want to buy it now. There should be a restaurant there. We just eat dinner first then we can buy the gifts, then we can go home, okay?”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and drives toward the Shang Chang.
There’re restaurants on the sixth floor. Ye Qing Xin chooses a Chinese restaurant. She orders two meat dishes, two vegetables and one soup. Jing Bo Yuan adds a bowl of egg custard.
Ye Qing Xin goes to the restroom while the food is cooked. After what happened before, now she is cautious.
Jing Bo Yuan accompanies her and waits for in front of the restroom. He asks Ming Tian to follow her inside.
The time she is done, Ye Qing Xin says to Ming Tian: “Thank you.”
Ming Tian nods and says: “Don’t be too modest. If there’s something you need, you can just call me, I will come as soon as possible.”
Ye Qing Xin nods.
They both then return to their table and they start to eat.
After the dinner, Ye Qing Xin takes Jing Bo Yuan to the men’s clothing stores.
She is attracted to a coat. It’s simple.
“Excuse me, this one, my Lao Gong (Husband) wants to try.” She says to the sales assistant. “In the same size, please.’
The price of the coat is around five thousand.
In Jing city, five thousand is nothing, it’s not expensive.
Ye Qing Xin looks and touches the coat. She looks at him and says: “This coat is really good.”
Whiz….
She continues: “It’ll look better on you.” She says.
Jing Bo Yuan takes off his coat, the sales assistant wants to take it but Jing Bo Yuan just passes it Ye Qing Xin.
Ye Qing Xin takes it and smiles toward the sales assistant: “Let me take it.”
The sales assistant blushes. Ye Qing Xin looks at her and keeps on smiling.
