Chapter 193 (1/2)

VCA is a jewelry brand under Sheng company.

Dou Weir is a bit curious when she hears about. Xin Xin’s necklace is related with VCA’s chief?

“If you have something to say, you can see it on the phone.” She is curious but she cannot just let it go her worries.

In the past, Shi Ying had tricked her, it let her not trust anyone easily.

There’s a brief silence and she speaks up again: “if you don’t believe me. Then it’s okay, we can meet up at that VCA store. You can make sure of my identity. And also you will be protected by the security guards there. You don’t need to worry that I will do something bad to you.”

“You are VCA’s guest, they will pay attention to you. If I want to do something bad, I will have no time to do it.”

It sounds reasonable.

Dou Weir thinks about it and says: “Tomorrow 12:00 A.M.”

She laughs: “Dou Xiao Jie is very direct person, see you tomorrow.”

The call ends. Dou Weir wants to call Ye Qing Xin to tell her about that thing. But she thinks about it once more and thinks that it’s better to tell Ye Qing Xin after she meet with that Chief Sheng.

The next day 12:00 A.M, at VCA store.

It’s lunch time, there’s no other guest inside the store. Except the sales assistants, there’s a rich lady wearing a mink fur coat. The sales assistants are acting very polite and cautious.

The time Dou Weir gets inside the store. The rich lady turns her head and looks at her.

“Dou Xiao Jie.” A sales assistant greets her.

The rich lady stands up and walks toward her. “Ni Hao, I am Sheng.” She just tells Dou Weir he family name. It’s clear that the rich lady wants to keep her identity.

Dou Weir is experienced one, so she notices that she wants to be secretive.

She examines the rich lady. She is a middle-aged woman. Dou Weir realizes that her appearance is very different from her gentle voice.

Dou Weir smiles at her.

This time the sales assistant serves them two glass of tea: “Chief Sheng, Ms Dou, please sit.”

Dou Weir looks at the sales assistant. It’s true that this rich lady is Chief Sheng.

“This place is a bit small, would you mind to change a place to talk?” Chief Sheng smiles and suggests something. She acts in well-manner.

Dou Weir smiles: “of course not.”

“I know a newly-open Japanese restaurant, are you okay with it?’

Dou Weir doesn’t mind.

Inside the private room.

After the order, the waiter goes out and closes the door. Chief Sheng raises her cup of tea and examines Dou Weir’s face. “Ms Dou, you are twenty years old this year right? What is your work?”

Dou Weir looks at her and she feels a bit of awkward with her. She smiles and answer: “I haven’t graduated. Chief Sheng, just talk to the point.”

“I like someone as direct as you.” Chief Sheng puts down her cup and smiles: “I used to have a Di Di (little brother). He was a gifted and talented jewelry designer. He loved a woman deeply that he especially designed a pair of necklace. A pair of eye-pedant necklaces that have a teardrop. That woman likes it so much. She always wears it everyday. Then an accident happened. My Di Di and that woman had accident and dead. One of the necklace is lost……”

“My mother was shocked. These years she keeps on being sad. She wants to find that lost necklace, but that necklace was popular that there’s a lot of imitation. We’ve been looking for it for many years. But every time we find it and check it, it’s all fake.”

Chief Sheng looks at Dou Weir’s face. “In few days it’ll be my mother’s birthday, I want to help her to fulfill her last wish. To let her be happy. Your photo is similar to my Di Di’s design. Whether it’s real or not, I need to check it. That necklace was personally designed by my Di Di. Perhaps outsiders cannot see it, but I can differentiate it. I can see that you are a good girl, I don’t have any motivation, I just want to find that necklace and investigate whether it’s my Di Di’s. If it’s I will buy it at high price back. If the necklace is yours, I beg you to let me see it. If it’s not with you, then I wish that you can tell me honestly its whereabout. Don’t worry I just want to buy it back, I will not make thing hard for the owner.”

Dou Weir understands it.

But she hesitates. That necklace is Xin Xin’s mother’s inheritance for Xin Xin. Xin Xin will not sell it to others. Now she is pregnant, she might be soft-heartened and be trapped.

Dou Weir tries to think clearly. She is sympathized with her story. It’s too pity for Chief Sheng’s mother. But after all they are outsiders, for Dou Weir, Ye Qing Xin is important and her best friend.

“I’m sorry.” Dou Weir says: “This is my dead mother’s inheritance for me. I won’t sell it. I really like it that I will not wear it outside. I am afraid that I’ll lose it so I take photo of it to make another one.”

She adds: “I won’t sell it for anything. I hope that you or the sales assistants will not disturb me again about this.”

Chief Sheng suddenly changes her expression…… she looks a bit unhappy? Dou Weir cannot make it out, but it makes her feel uncomfortable.

This time the waiter starts to serve the food.

Chief Sheng calms herself down: “It is really from your deceased mother?’

Dou Weir nods determinedly.

The waiter serves out the food, Chief Sheng smiles and says: “Since that’s the case, then I’ll not force you again. I just want to buy the necklace as my filial act toward my mother. You want to keep the necklace is also your filial act toward your mother. I will not force you to give it up.”

“Moreover, maybe your necklace is not real.”

Dou Weir stands up and bids her goodbye: “Since we are settled, then I’ll leave first. I have an appointment with my friend. I will not stay and eat with you.”

She just leaves without her response.

“Wait.” Chief Sheng stands up and walks closer to her. “You have a hair on your shoulder.”

Dou Weir takes few steps back as an instinct. She is uncomfortable from his approach. Dou Weir just smiles: “Thank you, Chief Sheng. Goodbye.”

Chief Sheng…. Sheng Wen Qiong looks at the closed door. She holds Dou Weir’s hair and looks at it. She smiles.

Her phone suddenly rings.

She answers. Yu Wei asks: “Do you find it? Is it the same as the one Wen Jun gave to Yan Tong?”

Sheng Wen Qiong laughs coldly and replies: “I got that girl’s hair. As long as she is unrelated to our Sheng family, whether the necklace is real or not is not important.”

Yesterday she went to VCA store. Originally she wanted to choose the newest jewelry to bring home. But she accidentally sees the sales assistant is looking at a photo of blue diamond eye-pendant……

The necklaces are in pair, one is with Old Madame Yan, and one is lost during the accident.

The other one is lost is three years old girl.

Though the chance of that girl to be saved is close to zero, but for precautious it’s better to make sure of it.

Sheng Wen Qiong suddenly feels so tired and annoyed. These years every time a necklace appears, she always feels scared witless until she gets the result.

On the surface, she acts like she wants to help Old Madame Sheng to find the necklace, but actually she knows it.

It’s cold outside. Dou Weir takes a taxi to go to Tang Ge. She orders the food. Then when she is waiting for the food, she calls Ye Qing Xin about her meeting with Chief Sheng, she tells her everything that they talked.

When the call ends, Ye Qing Xin is laying down on the bed at the dorm. She is preparing to take an afternoon nap.

She guesses that the Chief Sheng that Dou Weir met was Sheng Wen Qiong. That year there was a pair of necklace.

There’re two possibilities. One the one with her is an authentic, but no one knows how can it be with her mother. Second, the one with her is fake, an imitation one.

But Ye Qing Xin remembers that Gu Qiao said the one she wears is special…..

Ye Qing Xin is confused….

After that she just thinks no matter whether the necklace is real or not, no matter who was the owner. Now, it is the only thing that her mother left for her.

“Xin Xin…. Sao Zi……” Ye Qing Xin is thinking about something. Jing Suo Suo smiles with her devilish smile, she gets on her bed.

“What is it?” Ye Qing Xin shifts a bit and let her get on the bed.

“Sao Zi, at the beginning, how did you able to chase after my Da Ge?” Jing Suo Suo asks with her sweet voice.

Ye Qing Xin looks at Jing Suo Suo, Jing Suo Suo has asked that question before.

“He was the one that chased after me.” Ye Qing Xin says honestly.

Though the time Jing Bo Yuan confessed to her, she immediately agreed to it but it’s him who did it first so he was the one that chased after her.

“Then how do you seduce my Da Ge’s attention and interest?” Jing Suo Suo clearly is not satisfied with her answer.

Ye Qing Xin looks worriedly at Jing Suo Suo.

Jing Suo Suo is clever and sharp. She comes from a whole and great family, she has a great parents. That kind of family makes her somewhat innocent.

Hearing her words, Ye Qing Xin feels that Jing Suo Suo should have feeling toward a man, who is at the same age as Jing Bo Yuan.

“I em, I didn’t do anything. I just be myself.” Ye Qing Xin doesn’t have a lot of experiences, she doesn’t know how should she guide and advise Jing Suo Suo. She hopes by saying the truth, Jing Suo Suo can understand something.

Jing Suo Suo turns disappointed: “I also be myself quietly for so many years, but he keeps on not paying attention to me. I want to confess but he always finds a way to avoid me. Now he breaks up with her girlfriend…. I……. a lot of people said that the best way to get into relationship to heal the broken heart? Tell me should I use my gentle and caring attitude to help him rebound?”

“It’s not good, Suo Suo. Don’t do this. Now he is heartbroken, he might feel moved toward your feeling but when he passes it, or perhaps if his girlfriend has changed of heart, you will be dumped.”

Jing Suo Suo pouts: “I am just thinking about it.” She is depressed and returns to her own bed.

Ye Qing Xin watches her and says nothing.

She thinks herself as an outside. At last, Jing Suo Suo is the one that should choose her way of life.

In the afternoon when she goes to the class, she bumps into Tai Shi Yun, who is coming out from the class. Perhaps because of what happened to Tai family, she changes a lot. In the past, she always held her head up high, but now she seems to look down and avoid people. The time she sees Ye Qing Xin, Ye Qing Xin could notice her attempt to avoid her.

She just lowers her head and passes yqx. She doesn’t act like a daughter of rich family anymore.

Ye Qing Xin recalls that recently there’s a gossip that Chen Shu An seems to be in relationship with Psychology student. That woman is so beautiful and gentle. She has a pleasant voice.

Tai Shi Yun used to chase after Chen Shu An and hurt a lot of people for him. But at last she still cannot get him.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t know why, but she suddenly really misses Jing Bo Yua

At night after the class, she calls him. They chat for around an hour fifteen minutes and ten seconds.

She doesn’t know whether he is busy or not, but she knows that he is so patient toward her.

The mansion feels empty. Ye Qing Xin lays down on the bed. She feels her heart is as empty as the mansion. Finally, she just goes to the dressing room and takes Jing Bo Yuan’s coat. She smells the clothes and finds his familiar scent. She returns to the bed with it and sleeps with it.

It’s almost the weekend.

Ye Qing Xin wakes up at nine o’clock in the morning. Then she freshens up and goes downstairs.

Downstairs.

Ji Yi is sitting down in the living room with a cup of tea on her hand. Auntie Chi is beside her and chatting with her.

“How is Xin Xin’s appetite recently?”

“Tai Tai’s appetite is very good.”

Ji Yi nods.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t feel surprised that Ji Yi knows about her pregnancy. Jing Suo Suo also knows about it. All Jing family members also know about it.

“You need to take a good care of Xin Xin. Especially about the food, you need to remind Chef Lu. You need to take care of the menu, every meal needs to be varied between meat and vegetables. Make sure it’s all balanced. Now Xin Xin is an important member Jing family, you need to be careful….”

“You’ve been working for Jing family for many years. You understands about Old Madame. Wait till she is awake and knows that you take a good care of Xin Xin. She will give you a reward.”

“Yes, I get it. San Fu Ren.”

Ji Yi nods and drinks her tea.

The time she hears footsteps, she turns around and looks at Ye Qing Xin. Her gaze falls on Ye Qing Xin’s covered belly.

Then she smiles and walks toward Ye Qing Xin. She holds her arm: “Xin Xin, slow down.”

She acts like Ye Qing Xin will give birth soon.

“San Shen, why didn’t you tell Auntie Chi to go upstair to call me down?”
