Chapter 466
“Ma, you should persuade A Fan. Marriage is a big thing. How could he be so careless?” If he is marrying a well-bred young lady, she will let him be. But she doesn’t like this woman. She is so angry.
“Auntie is right, it’s too rushing. Let’s discuss it again.” Dou Weir doesn’t say this to support Chen Meng but He Ji Fan hasn’t told her about it.
Chen Meng glances at Dou Weir, like she is saying so you are sensitive.
Dou Weir doesn’t understand her gaze.
Old Madame He and He Zhang Ju say nothing. He Yi Yi says: “I don’t feel that it’s too rushing. Da Ge is thirty seven years old. Everyone around his age should have lots of kids, yet Da Ge only has Zhou Zhou. Da Sao and Da Ge have known each other for so long. You should marry soon, right Da Ge?”
He Ji Fan takes a slice of red braised pork for He Yi Yi: “You are right.”
He Yi Yi smiles happily: “I already at an earlier time long for Sao Zi to be able to marry soon to our family. It seem it will wish it happens so. Maybe next year Sao Zi will give Da Ge a little guy or girl. I heard that Jing Biao Ge (Jing Bo Yuan)’s twin will be born soon. Da Ge, you need to work hard. You shouldn’t lose to Jing Biao Ge.”
He Ji Fan: “For the matter of kid, we need to see the Will of Heaven, but I will try best.”
Dou Weir: “….”
Chen Meng is so angry that she kicks He Yi Yi’s leg ruthlessly. He Yi Yi is in pain and shows her sour expression. She looks at He Ji Fan: “Da Ge, there’s someone who kicking me. It’s too painful.”
He Ji Fan takes out his wallet and finds his card. He passes his card to He Yi Yi: “This afternoon go to the department store and buy a thing to comfort yourself. You could spend it anyway you want.”
He Yi Yi is too happy. She says: “Thank you Da Ge.”
Chen Meng: “…..” Sooner or later this brother and sister will make her die from an excess of an anger.
When the dinner is almost finished, He Yun Xiao is back. He is travel-worn.
“A Xiao, why are you here? Why didn’t you call first. It’s okay, I’ll ask the kitchen to cook several your favorite dishes.” Looking at her son, Chen Meng is very happy and instructs the maid: “Hurry up get the bowl and chopstick. A Xiao should be very hungry.”
“Nai Nai, Pa, Ma.” He Yun Xiao greets all the elder and then looks at He Ji Fan and Dou Weir. “I heard that Da Ge bring our future Da Sao. It’s a big thing, how could I not be here. Da Ge will not think that I’m not home at inconvenient time right?”
He Ji Fan waves his hand at the maid, he is signaling the maid to move the chair beside him. “Come here and sit down beside Da Ge.”
He Yun Xiao comes over and sits down.
“You are quite idle.” He Zhang Ju looks at He Yun Xiao, he sounds strict. “I heard from the subordinate that our branch office has a bit of trouble, have you handled it?”
He Yun Xiao is answering respectful: “It’s a small matter, I’ve handled it well.”
He Zhang Ju nods and says nothing.
Chen Meng is unhappy to hear that He Zhang Ju’s tone. “A Xiao just comes home after a long time? It’s a rare chance for him to be back, don’t talk about business anymore.”
Old Madame He also says: “A Xiao, let’s eat first.”
He Yun Xiao has no appetite. Previously he just wanted to curry favor from Dou Weir’s cousin. He didn’t look at the project throughly and just mentioned it. Who knows that little matter could offend He Zhang Ju, the director. He Zhang Ju just kicked him out to the branch office to learn through the experience.
At first he was unhappy but afterwards he is suppressed by those managers. He slowly realizes his problem. He reflects on himself. He could see that he has no ability or skill. he thinks perhaps he should try to prove himself to show Dou Weir that he could do something. So she will like him.
But before that happen, he hears from Dou Weir and his Da Ge are together now.
He clearly had ever asked her about it. She was sure that she will not be together again with He Ji Fan.
He Yun Xiao looks at Dou Weir’s appearance. She is so beautiful.
Dou Weir notices his gaze and just ignores it.
He Ji Fan shifts his position to block He Yun Xiao ‘s gaze. “How is it? Have you get used to it?”
He Yun Xiao answers: “At first I wasn’t, but now I could do it.”
He Ji Fan nods: “In the past you just played around, you should think more about our office. You shouldn’t neglect our company.”
“What about Da Ge?” He Yun Xiao asks: “In the past you also liked to play around, you never act serious for your company. Now you decide to be serious?”
He Ji Fan doesn’t care about it. Those are fact.
“Of course.” He is calm, he holds Dou Weir’s hand. “In the future, Wei Weir will be your Sao Zi. You should treat her like you treat me, understood?”
He Ji Fan is warning him.
Everyone is done eating, but because He Yun Xiao is back, everyone is sitting there.
He Yun Xiao has no appetite, he just forces himself to eat several scoops. The he puts down his chopsticks. Chen Meng notices that he eats few bites. She feels sorry for him. “You are constantly on the move for half day, how could you eat just few bites. Look at you, you are so skinny.”
He Yun Xiao says: “I have no appetite.”
Chen Meng: “How could you have no appetite? Are you sick?”
He Yun Xiao: “I’m fine.”
He Zhang Ju’s phone suddenly rings. He takes it out and looks it. He stands up and goes outside the dining room to answer it.
Chen Meng is focused on her youngest son, she doesn’t care about He Zhang Ju. Yet He Yi Yi says: “He is calling someone and go out, why he is so secretive?”
He Zhang Ju walks toward the garden and confirms that no one is around. Then he answers it.
“What is it?” His voice turns gentle.
“Zhang Ju, Yang Yang is sick, what should I do? He has a fever, I couldn’t carry him out, what should Ido?” There’s a woman with a broken-hearted sound.
He Zhang Ju’s face changes and says worriedly: “Don’t worry. I’ll go over now. Use a wet towel first and wipe his hot body.”
“Ay, where are you going?” Chen Meng sees He Zhang Ju seems to want to leave. He acts like there’s a major thing happen so Chen Meng asks him.
He Zhang Ju says nothing, he just takes his car key and leaves.
“What happened to Pa? He acts like his eyebrows are burnt.” He Yi Yi grumbles.
Chen Meng frowns and looks at the door, yet she doesn’t think too much about it. She continues to care about her youngest. “A Xiao, you are not young anymore. This time stay here for few days. Mama has found two young women that I think suit you. They are good. Later on I’ll arrange the time and place for you to meet them. You should settle down soon. Don’t learn from your Da Ge.”
He Ji Fan notices that the topic will implicate Dou Weir, he is unhappy. He stands up and holds Dou Weir’s arm. “I’ll bring Weir back home first.”
Dou Weir just follows him, she says goodbye to everyone.
Chen Meng is focused on He Yun Xiao so she acts like she doesn’t hear her.
Dou Weir doesn’t mind it at all.
Old Madame He and He Yi Yi stand up and send them off.
The time they are at the door, Dou Weir says: “He Nai Nai and Yi Yi, no need to see me out.”
Old Madame He says: “Xiao Meng always acts this way, she isn’t mean. In the future, after some time you will know it. Don’t mind, just live happily with A Fan.”
Her words show that she doesn’t oppose Dou Weir and He Ji Fan’s relationship.
Dou Weir is thankful. “Thank you, He Nai Nai.”
In the living room.
He Yun Xiao asks carelessly: “Ma, you don’t like Da Ge’s girlfriend?”
Chen Meng shows her feeling clearly. Only stupid one cannot notice it.
Chen Meng says: “She is a gold-digger who is greedy of wealth and vanity, how could I like it? Your Da Ge is so crazy about her. But I’m very clear, how could she like your Da Ge if not because of He family?”
He Yun Xiao plays with his lighter: “Da Ge is great, how could you think that everyone likes him is gold digger? Those women that you introduce to Da Ge, that so called daughter of rich family, they should also like Da Ge because of his name?”
“How could you compare her with that debutante? Those women are better than that Dou Weir?”
Chen Meng is so furious.
“Ma.”
“Stop it.” Old Madame He says: “Xiao Meng, in any case you are also come from a distinguished family, you have been our head of household for more than years. But take a look at your performance today, is it a manner of head of household? This can be a joke if someone hears it!”
“Ma, perhaps you want me to welcome her? Dream on!”
“You ah you ah!” Old Madame He is so disappointed. “In the past you weren’t acting this way. The time you were young, you were so educated and having good manner? How could you be this way?”
Chen Meng feels embarrassed to be criticized in front of her son and daughter: “Ma!”
“In the future act kinder to Dou Weir. I’m not asking you to like him. But don’t embarrass He family. Don’t show that our He family has no manner!”
Old Madame He’s words are harsh.
Chen Meng is unhappy but she says nothing. He Yun Xiao and He Yi Yi pretend that they don’t hear it.
Old Madame He returns to her room to rest. Chen Meng says to He Yun Xiao. “See, at first your Nai Nai didn’t agree to it, but that Dou Weir should do a trick!”
——-
Dou Weir and He Ji Fan leave He family house, Dou Weir asks: “Why did you say it?”
“What do you mean?”
“You said that tomorrow we…”
“This is my thought when I saw you together with Zhou Zhou at the garden this afternoon. Weir, we have known each other for three to four years, it’s time for us to marry.”
Dou Weir be silent and says: “It’s too sudden, I am not prepared yet.”
“What should you prepare, just take the household registration certificate and your ID card. Then we go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs.” He Ji Fan says simply.
Dou Weir cannot explain what makes her hesitant, but she feels there’s something missing.
“But my household registration certificate is with my Shu Shu…”
“It’s easy, I’ll send someone to take it.”
Dou Weir: “……”
Looking at how she is a bit depressed, He Ji Fan holds her hand: “What is it? You are suddenly turning depressed, you aren’t willing to marry me?”
Dou Weir shakes her head: “I’m just not used to it.”
He Ji Fan laughs: “In the future,, you will. I’ll go to the office for a while. I’ll send you back home. Let’s eat later at night.”
Dou Weir watches He Ji Fan leaves, she turns her body and gets upstair. The time she is in the elevator, she dials Ye Qing Xin’s phone.
She tells Ye Qing Xin about this matter and asks: “What do you think about me? I want to marry but I couldn’t explain my feeling.”
“It’s normal. You always be alone, suddenly now you have someone beside you. Of course you are not used to it.” Ye Qing Xin comforts her: “I also experienced that, suddenly you had someone beside you. You would feel unease but it’ll get better soon.”
“Really?” Dou Weir hesitates: “But I don’t know why, I’m a bit unwilling. What do you think? Is it mean that I don’t want to marry him? If not, how could I be so unwilling?”
Ye Qing Xin says: “You are overthinking this, be at ease, it’ll get better.”
The call ends, yet Dou Weir is not relieved. She goes to the bathroom to remove her makeup and want to have an afternoon nap. But suddenly her bell rings.
She looks from the screen that it’s He Yun Xiao.
Dou Weir is silent for a while, then she opens the door.
“Why are you here?”
He Yun Xiao looks at her: “I have something to ask you, after I’m done, I’ll leave.”
Dou Weir just lets him pass. “Get in and talk.”
She serves a glass of water for He Yun Xiao and she says: “What do you want to ask? Ask it directly.”
He Yun Xiao’s gaze is fixed on her: “Do you love him?”
“It seems to be unrelated to you.”
He Yun Xiao laughs bitterly. “I remember that in the past, I had asked you about your relationship with my Da Ge. You said that you have no relationship. You even firmly told me, that you will not have anything to do with him, but now….. woman is really hypocrite.”
Dou Weir: “You find me, just for these?”
“No. it’s just I want to know, will you be happy if you be with him?”
“I’ll be very happy. Thank you for your care.”
He Yun Xiao nods: “Then I bless that you will be happy forever.”
He is not someone who like to pester. Since Dou Weir has found her happiness, though he is sad, but he will let her go.
Perhaps his love to her is not that deep.
“In the future I finally don’t need to keep on missing and thinking you. I’ll leave first.”
He Yun Xiao leaves and drives his car away. His heart is heavy.
He passes the hospital and accidentally sees that He Zhang Ju is coming out from a supermarket near the hospital. He is holding a plastic bag. He seems worried and in hurried.
He remembers that He Zhang Ju left the house in rush after a phone call. He Yun Xiao is confused. Who is at the hospital?
