Chapter 100 (1/2)
Zhou Qiao Qiao looks at the ceiling and doesn’t want to eat or drink. It lets Ye Qing Xin remembers what happened last ten years. The time Ye Jun Dong abandoned.
She is worried about her.
“Ma, sit up and eat a bit.”
“……”
Ye Qing Xin puts down the lunchbox and holds her hand: “Ma, don’t worry. This morning there’s a doctor that will check up on you. You’ll be okay.”
“……”
Suddenly she thinks about something and she calls Ye Qing Guo’s teacher. She asks the teacher to talk to Ye Qing Guo.
After a while, there’s a happy voice of Ye Qing Guo: “Jie Jie (Sister)!”
“Xiao Guo, Mama is not happy. Talk with Mama, okay?”
“Okay!”
Ye Qing Xin switches on her speaker and passes the phone to Zhou Qiao Qiao: “Xiao Guo, now you can talk.”
“Mama, Xiao Guo already can do the multiplication. Lao Shi (Teacher) praises me, she said that I’m very smart.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao starts to move, Ye Qing Xin is happy: “Xiao Guo, let Mama hears it.”
“1×1=1, 1×2= 2…..”
Zhou Qiao Qiao hears it and her tears start to pool up.
After a while.
After the call ends, Zhou Qiao Qiao sits up. She holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and asks her: “Xin Xin, when Mama is gone, you need to take a good care of Xiao Guo.”
“Ma, don’t talk like that, you’ll get better.”
“I know my body clearly. I’ve a lot of mistakes in this life. I’m wronged a lot of people. This is my consequence. Mama has accepted. I just cannot be relieved because of Xiao Guo……”
“Xin Xin, you are strong and generous kid, later on please help me to take care of Xiao Guo.”
Ye Qing Xin is so heartbroken for her: “Ma….”
“Xin Xin, promise Mama. You’ll take a good care of Xiao Guo, don’t abandon him?”
Ye Qing Xin nods.
Zhou Qiao Qiao starts to feel at ease.
“Go to your class. Don’t miss it because of me.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I’ll go this afternoon, anyway the morning class has ended.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao doesn’t say anything else. She just closes her eyes and takes a rest.
Ye Qing Xin’s phone rings.
It’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.\
She wants to go out to answer it. The time she comes out, she bumps into He Yi Yi. But she just passes her.
She answers. “Xin Xin….”
He Yi Yi recognizes her and asks to the nurse station. “Who is the patient of 1403? What is her disease?”
“What is the relation between that girl and the patient?”
“It should be her daughter.”
“O, thank you.”
Then she goes to the 1407 room. Old Madame He is sitting on the bed. Yu Qing You and Old Madame Sheng are sitting down on the side and chatting.
He Yi Yi smiles at her grandma and greets her: “Nai Nia.” Then she greets Old Madame He and Yu Qing You: “Sheng Nai Nai, Hi, Qing You Jie (Sis Qing You).”
Old Madame He smiles at her: :”You little girl, finally you have time to mvisit me, you and your Da Ge (Big Brother) Er Ge (Second older brother) are the same, you all forget about me!”
“Who dare enough to forget you. I just come.”
She chats with her grandma. Then she looks at Yu Qing You, she purposely points out: “Qing You Jie, before I bumped into an old friend, let’s go out and greet them okay? So we can let Nai Nai and Sheng Nai Nai to chat.”
They come out of the sickroom.
He Yi Yi points out at the room 1043: “Guess who is inside?”
Yu Qing You shakes her head, she is uninterested: “I don’t know.”
“She calls Zhou Qiao Qiao, Ye Qing Xin’s Ma. You should know about Ye Qing Xin’s familiy situation right. She shouldn’t have money to come here to get treatment, moreover now she stays in VIP Room. Maybe she asks Biao Ge (Male cousin) to give her money. She is too shameless.”
He Yi Yi likes Ji Yan Xi, but Ji Yan Xi likes Dou Weir. Ye Qing Xin is Dou Weir’s best friend. So she doesn’t like Ye Qing Xin.
“Do you know what illness her mother has?”
“Lung cancer, she should be in the end stage. At most she can only live for a month.”
Yu Qing You just watches the room and doesn’t say anything else.
He Yi Yi says again: “I don’t really know what Biao Ge likes about Ye Qing Xin, her family is no good. She has a dying ma. I heard that her Di Di (Little brother) also idiot? Really, she is unfit for Biao Ge!”
After a while.
Yu Qing You regains herself and smiles at He Yi Yi: “It’s his own problem. We cannot control it. Let’s go back.”
She says it and returns to Old Madame He’s room.
He Yi Yi feels dejected.
Ye Qing Xin hangs up and returns back to the room. The old auntie that she helped last night, comes over to bring food for her.
Old Auntie smiles at her: “My Po Po (mother-in-law) can stay in the best sickroom, thanks to you. We are poor, we cannot repay you. This is my husband’s cooking. It’s delicious. I come to share it with you.”
It’s a simple thank you token.
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Thank you.”
The old auntie leaves.
Zhou Qiao Qiao suddenly asks: “Xin Xin, this room looks expensive, where do you get the money? What did that old sister mean? What is your relationship with her?”
Ye Qing Xin peels an apple and looks at her. She smiles: “It’s my friend. He is close with the director of the hospital. Last night there’s no room in the general room. So because of my friend, he helped to arrange this for me. I can pay for this the same rate as general room.”
“That old auntie… last night she helped me. So I mentioned to director to help her too. I didn’t expect that she will be helped too.”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t lie completely. She just expresses it in different wording.
Zhou Qiao Qiao listens to it and frowns: “What friend?”
Ye Qing Xin is just an ordinary girl, how can she have that kind of friend.”
“A school mate.”
“Is it the man that you date?”
