Old Madame Jing notices that Jing Yi is conscious, she asks the maid to pour a glass of hot water for him.
“Why do you bother? Is it worth the trouble?” Old Madame Jing helps him to sit up. She is helpless: “The time Xiao Xi is beside you, why did you keep on neglecting and ignoring her feeling? Now she leaves with her own heartbreak, why are tormenting your own body?”
The hot water passes his hurt throat. The time it enters his stomach, he is feeling better.
He turns silent and says nothing else.
Old Madame Jing comforts him: “It’s better that you have registered your marriage. I guess Xiao Xi is just sad, she just wants to relive her sadness. The time she gets over it, she will come home. Your action has hurt her, you should give her time to manage her own feeling.”
Will she come home?
Jing Yi remembers three days ago when he was discharged, he directly ran to Wen Ren Xi’s little restaurant. The little restaurant still looks the same.
He went inside and extended his hand to hold her wrist. “Xiao Xi.”
However.
That woman was not Wen Ren Xi, but a strange woman. She asked him. “Who are you looking for?”
Jing Yi was startled and let go. “I looked for the boss.”
That woman smiled politely: “I am, who are you? What’s the matter?”
Jing Yi had a bad feeling about it. “I remember the boss of this restaurant is Wen Ren Xi.”
“oh, she had sold this to me. Though the administration process has not been finished. But I am the future owner of this restaurant. If you are looking for her, perhaps you should go to her house.”
He felt his whole body is watered by a basin of cold water.
The time he was thinking, he recalled what happened twenty years ago. The first time Wen Ren Xi confessed to him. That time he just broke up with Su Mei for a year. His heart has nothing else but her, he rejected her. She didn’t get angry and didn’t get heartbroken. She just smiled and said to him: “I’ll wait for you.”
Then she said: “I’ll not go anywhere. I’ll wait for you at Xi Fan. But my waiting time has limit. If there’s a day, I sell Xi Fan, it means that I give up on you so you need to accept me quickly.”
Jing Yi has lost her.
He uses to her waiting but he forgets that the waiting time has limit.
Three days later, the National day long-holiday ends.
Ye Qing Xin goes to the university to attend the class. The time she gets into the front gate, she becomes aware of everyone’s strange gaze at her.
The time she enters the class, a lot of people lower their head down the time they see her. They don’t dare to look at her on the eyes. Someone greets her and just smiles at her with cautious.
Ye Qing Xin understands that their attitude changes because of Jing Bo Yuan’s action of confessing publicly.
Dou Weir and Jing Suo Suo came earlier to the classroom than her. They are sitting down with one earphone on their ear. Dou Weir notices her and waves her hand at her.
“Xin Xin, you seem to be skinner ay.” Dou Weir looks at Ye Qing Xin’s waist.
“No, I don’t think so.” Ye Qing Xin sits down. “What are you talking about, you look so happy.”
“We are talking about Er Shu.” Jing Suo Suo says. “The DNA result comes out, that Su Yu Zuo indeed is Er Shu’s biological daughter. Er Shu plans to recognize her as part of Jing family.”
“Nai Nai said that “Wen Ren Xi is still missing. This is a critical period, if he does it publicly, it’ll look inappropriate.”
“Nai Nai said nothing else, after all Su Yu Zuo is part of Jing family by blood. how can we not admit it. She said that after Su Yu Zuo is discharged, she will hold a family dinner.”
Jing family has told someone to look for Wen Ren Xi, but she just vanishes, no clue has led to her whereabout.
During the lesson.
Ye Qing Xin meets Wu Shan, a woman who instigated about her so-called affair with Jing Bo Yuan. Wu Shan is scared to meet Ye Qing Xin just like when a mouse meets a cat. She is shaking with fear that she just runs without looking around. She bumps her head to the door and falls down.
Everyone is laughing at this.
Wu Shuan’s face blushes and stands up. She just runs and once she turns her head to look at Ye Qing Xin.
Ye Qing Xin frowns and asks herself whether she looks so scary.
She says to Dou Weir: “She seems to be so scared of me.”
Dou Weir rolls her eyes: “Can she not be scared, your big Boss Jing has announced your relationship and threatened all of them. Most of them feel guilty so for currying your favor they’re looking for trouble with Wu Shan.”
“During the holiday, I was so busy with my business. I just came back to the dorm few times. But every time I come back, I see Wu Shan is surrounded. She shouldn’t have a good life now.”
Dou Weir clicks her tongue: “It’s all about money and power.”
Ye Qing Xin: “…….”
When the class ends, Ye Qing Xin follows everyone to leave the classroom. Wu Shan is waiting for her while she holding a piece of cardboard. It is written. “Ye Qing Xin, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t talk bad words about you. Please forgive me.”
Ye Qing Xin is startled.
Wu Shan’s face is full of tear.
It looks like she is forced to do that as Ye Qing Xin notices that not far away there’re several other female students watching her.
Ye Qing Xin knows some of them. They also used to say bad words about her.
Ye Qing Xin just looks at those women coldly. They just want to make things hard for Wu Shan and let her take their place to ask for forgiveness. If they are sincerely want to apologize, they should do it by themselves.
Dou Weir also notices that Wu Shan should be forced to this.
Ye Qing Xin says: “Previously my husband has said it that for the past, he will not bicker about it, I will not bicker about it. But I still remember those words. As long for avenging back, it will depend on my mood. If you want to apologize, then you should show your sincerity and do it personally. Why should you guys do this showy things. I don’t like it.”
These words are not only for Wu Shan but other people.
For the afternoon class, when Ye Qing Xin gets into the classroom, a lot of people start to apologize to her. There are too many people
Ye Qing Xin understands that some of them are coming not only to apologize, but only wants to meet her.
Duan Chu Chu hears about this matter, she is also worried that Ye Qing Xin will avenge her.
She is so angry with Qian Rong as Qian Rong clearly said to her that Ye Qing Xin has an affair with rich old married man. Duan Chu Chu said a lot of that rumor to a lot fo people. She can be said as the one that spread out the rumor. Duan Chu Chu feels that she is deceived.
She thinks about this matter a lot and tonight she looks for Qian Rong.
There’s only Qian Rong in the dorm room, Dou Weir is out, Jing Suo Suo also goes home.
“Why are you here?” Qian Rong is applying mask on her face.
“Let me ask you. Why did you tell me that Ye Qing Xin has an affair with sixty-old married man, did you do it in purpose?” Duan Chu Chu asks. “In the past you didn’t like her, did you purposely want to spread the rumor?”
“Don’t attack me maliciously.” Qian Rong says. “I never say anything to you.”
Duan Chu Chu understands that she is played by Qian Rong.”
“You simply too cruel.”
“What did I do, you need to have a proof.” Qian Rong is lazy to talk too much. “I want to have a rest.”
“Qian Rong, you unexpectedly want to harm me.” Duan Chu Chu is scared and takes Qian Rong’s fruit knife on the table and wants to scratch it on her face.
Qian Rong’s face makes her feels disgusted.
Qian Rong wants to take a moisturizing cream, she looks at her and be so surprised. She blocks her face.
“Ah.”
That incident spreads out to the whole school.
Ye Qing Xin knows about it the time she gets a call from the local police station. The police said that it is somewhat related to her, he asked her to come by to help with the investigation.
Today it’s Thursday so she has no class in the morning.
Ye Qing Xin arrives at the police station and finishes a report. Then the police just explains to her what has happened.
The police asks whether she wants to sue Qian Rong. Ye Qing Xin considers it, the time she wants to answers, someone knocks on the door. The police, who is talking with Ye Qing Xin, comes out. The time he returns, he comes back with Jing Bo Yuan behind him.
Ye Qing Xin is startled. “Why are you here?”
Jing Bo Yuan holds her hand and let her stand up. “Why didn’t you tell me.”
“I just came to help with the investigation, I didn’t do anything wrong.” Her gaze says it all. Ye Qing Xin jut says: “I am afraid to disturb your work. I planned to tell you during your lunch break. Really, I planned to tell you about it.”
Jing Bo Yuan says nothing else.
“I am so sorry to make you stay here for a long time, I am really sorry.” The police says politely to Ye Qing Xin.
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “It’s okay, it’s your duty.”
The police just turns relieved.
Ye Qing Xin smiles and looks at Jing Bo Yuan. “It’s Ming Tian that told you about this right.”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t deny.
Ye Qing Xin remembers that she hasn’t given any answer whether she wants to sue Qian Rong or not. She wants to go back to the police and gives her answer. But she just sees Chen Ting.
Chen Ting is talking with one of the police.
Jing Bo Yuan holds her to approach Chen Ting. She hears Chen Ting said: “We will do things in a strictly businesslike manner, we will do things as we should. We will not bully her as a student. For what she did wrong, she should take responsibility of it.”
Ye Qing Xin says nothing.
Before they leave, Jing Bo Yuan shakes hand with a middle-aged police. He should be the leader of the police.
Ye Qing Xin smiles warmly at him too.
Jing Bo Yuan takes his time to chat with him and finishes their talk.
