Chapter 47 (1/2)
The bus’ final stop is Nan Shan’s bus station.
Ye Qing Xin arrives at Jing Bo Yuan’s mansion. It takes one hour to go to his mansion.
Today she has her menstrual period, she feels the faint ache in her stomach. She walks a bit slower than usual.
Auntie Zhang notices her pale face and asks her with concern: “What happened to you, are you sick?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I’m okay. I’m just a bit thirsty. Can you give me a glass of hot water?”
She is cautious in other people’s house.
“Sit down, I’ll give you.” Auntie Zhang stops her and takes a glass of hot water for her.
Ye Qing Xin takes it and thanks her: “Thank you.”
The hot water makes her more comfortable than before.
Because looking at her not-so-well body, Auntie Zhang arranges more relaxed job for her.
Around four o’clock in the afternoon, there’s an uninvited guest comes to the mansion.
Auntie Zhang hears the bell and she touches her head.
“That should be that honorable deity comes.”
Ye Qing Xin is curious and looks at the door.
Auntie Zhang opens the door and a rich woman with purple mink fur coat coat comes in. She looks refined, her hair is styled in updo. She wears a big diamond earring and black sunglasses. She brings a branded bag.
She puts down her sunglasses. In a moment, Ye Qing Xin could guess who is she.
Her features, appearance, and personality is similar as Yu Qing You.
“Is A Yuan at home?” Sheng Wen Qiong asks.
Auntie Zhang is extremely respectful: “Mr Jing is not here. You…..”
“I’ll wait.” Sheng Wen Qiong says firmly.
Auntie Zhang hesitates: “But… Mr Jing possibly will not come back today.”
Sheng Wen Qiong stops and turns her body to look at Auntie Zhang unhappily: “Are you helping A Yuan to kick me out?”
“I don’t dare…..”
Sheng Wen Qiong smiles coldly and shortly she looks at Ye Qing Xin, who is sweeping the floor.
She is startled and regains herself again quickly. She goes to the living room and sits down.
Auntie Zhang brews a Pi Lo Chun (type of green tea that grown in Jiang Su) tea and serves it for her.
Sheng Wen Qiong ignores her.
She’s been coming here for three days to wait for Jing Bo Yuan.
On Monday she goes to Jing residence and discusses about Yu Qing You and Jing Bo Yuan’s matter. Jing family seems to respect Jing Bo Yuan’s attitude.
For her own daughter, she abandons her dignity. Regardless her seniority, she called Jing Bo Yuan. Who knows that he is clear and frankly expressed his inordinate ambitions between himself and Yu Qing You. She is unwilling to accept it so she wants to discuss it with him face-to-face. Yet she hasn’t met him.
So she just comes to Nan Shan mansion. Being disrespected by her junior, it’s odd if she can still come here with her smiling face.
Auntie Zhang slips away from the living room and pats her chest. She says to Ye Qing Xin: “It’s too frightening. Her face is like someone has owed million dollars to her? In any case, she is prestigious people, how can she insist to marry her daughter to Mr Jing. Mr Jing doesn’t want it, but she is still unwilling to accept it, what a cheek!”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t offer her comment about it. She just does her own job — sweeping the floor.
Actually there’s nothing to sweep. It’s just a layer of dust.
Suddenly.
There’s a “prakk’ sound from the room. Because the door isn’t closed, so two of them can hear something has broken into pieces.
