Jing Suo Suo watches Cheng Ru Yu’s leaving. This time she is sure that he has purposely avoided her. His attitude toward her turns cold and estranged.
Why? Why is it?
Is it because he notices her feeling toward him?
At first she thought that way, but when she considers it further, she feels that something is wrong. She listens to Ye Qing Xins’ words and she calms down for a long time. That time she avoided to interact with Cheng Ru Yu. Sometimes when they encountered each other, she avoided him. He should not notice her feeling. Afterwards, she keeps on imagining Cheng Ru Yu and starts to show it.
This time Cheng Ru Yu, is the one that avoids her.
Why?
Jing Suo Suo finds a reason to dismiss Fu An Ni. She just stays there on the balcony for a while.
Ye Qing Xin watches what happened from a distance.
“What did you say with Cheng Ru Yu?” Jing Bo Yuan says.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t notice his jealousness, she just shifts her gaze. “It’s a little secret. I cannot tell you.”
It’s about JIng Suo Suo’s feeling, she cannot say it to anyone.
Jing Bo Yuan smiles and pinches her cheek.
Someone sees their intimate interaction.
“Jing Xian Sheng and Jing Tai Tai are having a great feeling. It’s really envious.” Someone says.
“Exactly, it’s hard to find a couple like them.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles when she hears it.
Then suddenly there’s a noise from the main door.
A group of family comes inside.
“Ay, that Gu Xing De, how can he still be here?”
“Old Madame Yan and Old Mister Yan are too much, how can they let that family still be part of theirs? If it’s me, I’ll kick them out without thinking about it. They dare to harm my relative, I’ll not be soft-hearted.”
“You cannot say it that way. It’s Huang Wei Juan’s action. Gu Xing De is a loyal one, Gu Qiao is a good woman too. She is great one in business world. Have you heard that Jing Yan earn a twenty percent raise for this season? I heard that they are planning to expand to cosmetic product by purchasing a Japanese cosmetic company….”
Ye Qing Xin hears it but she doesn’t comment.
She watches Gu Qiao. Gu Qiao doesn’t sit on her wheel chair anymore, she is wearing a blue dress. She can walks now. She is wearing a prosthetic limb now. Because her dress is long, they cannot see her legs.
“Xin Xin.” Old Madame Yan notices Ye Qing Xin. She comes over and holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand. It’s been days since she met her. She misses her so much.
“A Yuan ah, when will the baby room finish? When can we move back?”
Jing Bo Yuan greets Old Madame Yan and answers: “It’s done, today or tomorrow.”
“Then can we move back tonight?”
“No.” Old Madame Jing opposes: “They just stay on my house for few days, how can they just return so soon? Just let them stay for few more days?”
“How long? There’s no satisfied time to stay with kids.” Old Madame Yan is unhappy. “Moreover your family should be busy with your Jing Lao Er’s wedding. You are busy, why should you keep Xin Xin and A Yuan?’
“Nai Nai, Jing Nai Nai, you guys should stop fight.” Gu Qiao smiles: “If you fight, it’ll make thing hard for Xin Xin?”
Gu Qiao looks at Ye Qing Xin and smiles. “Xin Xin, it’s been a long time.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles brightly: “It’s been a long time, Qiao Qiao Jie.”
Gu Qiao observes Ye Qing Xin’s face for a while and smiles: “Indeed a happy woman is the most beautiful one, you are even prettier now.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and replies; “Qiao Qiao Jie too.”
“Old Madame Yan is really lucky. You have a granddaughter who is excellent and beautiful. I heard that Jing Tai Tai is B university’s student right? Though she hasn’t graduated, she already work at Pear studio as a designer. She even wins a competition. It’s great.” A middle-age woman compliments her.
“Gu Xiao Jie is great too. She earns the second place. Old Madame Yan’s granddaughters are talented designers.
“Qing Nian designer competition?” Someone asks.
“It’s the most prestigious international competition for designer. You might not know if you are not in the fashion industry. Normally a designer uses the competition to show their skills and let themselves known. In three days, it will be the award event. I believe that Jing Tai Tai will design the most beautiful dress.”
Ye Qing Xin is calm and doesn’t feel anything else.
“Thank you, Wang Tai Tai, for your praise.”
Old Madame Yan doesn’t know about this, she smiles happily: “Xin Xin, why aren’t you telling me?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “You know it now right?”
Old Madame Yan blames him: “You kid!”
“Old Madame Yan, your Wai Sun Nu can win and defeat a lot of designers, even those who are older, she will be successful in the future.”
These words somehow want to attack Gu Qiao. Gu Qiao is older than Ye Qing Xin, she even be defeated by Ye Qing Xin.
Gu Qiao smiles and acts like she doesn’t know what they are talking about.
11:30 a.m. everyone sits down.
12:00 p.m. the feast starts.
Ye Qing Xin sits down on Jing Bo Yuan’s left side. Jing Suo Suo sits down on Ye Qing Xin’s left side. She looks down.
“Are you okay?” Ye Qing Xin picks a slice of Jing Suo Suo’s favorite roasted duck for Jing Suo Suo.
Jing Suo Suo sighs: “I said nothing to him and he just returned to the room….”
“How can you not find a reason to make him stay?”
Jing Suo Suo moves closer and says to her: “I said that I am in a bad mood, I want him to accompany me. But he just calls his niece to accompany me, what else I can do? Ay, just let it be……. It hasn’t started and I just be jilted. I want to go to the temple and pray. Maybe I be single for my whole life?”
Ye Qing Xin: “…….”
“I heard from a member of Xiao family, I just know that Xiao San Ge (Xiao Yan), the coldest one. He unexpectedly will get marry soon. Tell me what’s wrong with this world. How can I the smartest one, the most active one, the cutest, kindest have no that like me. I feel like I am the kind that will have no one to like me, I might not marry.”
Ye Qing Xin: “You mean Xiao Yan?”
“Yes” Jing Suo Suo says: “He is the third kid. I call him Xiao San Ge.”
The matter of Xiao Yan is getting married, Ye Qing Xin has heard it from Cheng Ru Yu. But there’s no other news about it. She forgets about it.
The one that Xiao Yan will marry is Su Yu Zuo.
Song Xian Yu and Ji Lin Yuan raise both of their glass and want to give a toast.
Ji Lin Yuan says few words and he drinks the wine. Song Xian Yu also drinks it.
“Ke ke
Ji Lin Yuan puts down his glass and pats her back lightly.
Very quickly, Song Xian Yu stops.
Ji Lin Yuan says: “Drink slowly.”
Song Xian Yu: “I’m too careless.”
Ji Lin Yuan: “Then be more careful.”
Song Xian Yu smiles sweetly: “I know.”
“Ay, I shouldn’t compare myself with her. Look at Si Biao Sao (Song Xian Yu), she was also a chaser but she could be successful. But I always fail.” Jing Suo Suo sighs.
Ye Qing Xin asks: “You know about what happened between them.”
“Em, I just know a bit about it.” Jing Suo Suo says: “but I’m not really clear. I just know that Si Biao Sao pursued Si Biao Ge. That time Si Biao Ge minds Si Biao Siao’s young age. Afterwards, I don’t know why Si Biao Sao was pregnant. The news of her pregnancy spread out. My Er Jie (Jing Xian Xian) was too shocked. That time Si Biao Ge rejected my Er Jie because of her age too. But in the end he made a woman, who is even younger than my Er Jie, be pregnant. I remember that time my Er Jie didn’t come out of the house for a month. My ma was very worried for her. She kept on watch on her, she was afraid that my Er Jie would do stupid thing.”
“Until the news of Si Biao Sao’s miscarriage spread and cancelled marriage one, my Er Jie just lives again.”
Miscarriage, cancelled marriage…..
How can it sound familiar?
Ye Qing Xin asks again: “Why did she have miscarriage?”
“It seems that she has anxiety, also her health. That time the baby is not stable. I just remember after her miscarriage, she was attacked by something that she had metrorrhagia, she almost lost her life. I heard from Cheng Da Ge, the doctor advised to remove her womb to protect her life. Do you know what Si Biao Ge said?”
“Si Biao Ge was too calm and cold, it looked so terrifying. He looked at the paper and said to the nurse: “If this person cannot be saved, then this hospital doesn’t need to exist.” You might not have a good understanding about Si Biao Ge. But he always hope that everything that he wishes even though it’s hard to be accomplished, to come true. Moreover that time he is able to just eliminate anything easily. It created a sensation in the hospital. Every doctor came to save Si Biao Sao.”
“Do you know what is the most critical moment for her? Because the bleeding couldn’t stop, the doctor could only give her transfusion. That time Cheng Da Ge also came inside the ICU. He told me that they gave the transfusion and placed a basin on her bottom. It’s hard for me to imagine. I just can shiver.”
“It happened for two days two night. Si Biao Ge stayed there for two days two night, he didn’t move, he didn’t drink or eat. He turned skinnier. My Er Jie saw his situation and since that time she never says again that she likes Si Biao Ge. My Er Jie is also miserable….”
“Afterwards?”
“Then Si Biao Sao is saved. Then she recovers. There’s a time that she broke up completely with Si Biao Ge. I don’t know what happened that time.”
“Didn’t she know that Ji Lin Yuan kept watch for her during that time?”
“She knew about it, I was the one that told her about it. I thought she will cry. But who knows, she just laughed coldly. Till today I still can replay her cold laughing sound. It’s full of disappointment and satire.”
