Chapter 221 (1/2)

After the dinner, Jing Suo Suo pulls Ye Qing Xin to the sofa to enjoy the Spring Festival Gala Evening.

Several men goes to the small living room to chat. Jing Xian Xian and Jing Fen Fen go upstair. Old Madame Jing takes Ji Yi and He Su E and Jing Si to wrap dumpling in the kitchen.

Ye Lin takes Ye Qing Guo outside to play with fire crackers. The maids are watching them.

In Jing City, they have custom to stay up late for the New Year. They shouldn’t sleep before it passes 12 P.M.

Jing Suo Suo’s phone keeps on ringing. It’s all about New Years greeting. Ye Qing Xin’s phone also keeps on ringing.

She looks at it and thinks of an idea. She makes a short message for him.

– I wish we will stay like this for years and ages.

Then she sends it to him.

Ye Qing Xin knows that Jing Bo Yuan is chatting with Jing Zong and friends. She doesn’t hope that he will reply. But suddenly her phone rings again. She opens it. It’s from Jing Bo Yuan.

– As you wish.

“What are you reading? You are so happy.” Jing Suo Suo turns her head and looks at Ye Qing Xin’s happy face. She comes closer and wants to take a look.

Ye Qing Xin is quick, she puts her phone away: “nothing.”

Jing Suo Suo already has a peek. She looks at her: “You guys are too much. You guys are in the same house and you still send message to each other?”

Ye Qing Xin laughs.

It’s almost eleven o’clock. Old Madame Jing let the maid sends a glass of warm milk and sweets for Ye Qing Xin.

Jing Suo Suo looks at it and covers up her chest: “Nai Nai is too bias, she likes you too much. I also sit down right here, unexpectedly she just ordered these for you…..”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “You can take it.

Jing Suo Suo snorts coldly: “A noble man will not take a food handed out with contempt.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……”

She eats two slices of chestnut cake and finishes the warm milk: “Let’s go to the kitchen and helps out to wrap the dumpling.”

Jing Suo Suo shakes her head: “I’ll not go.”

Ye Qing Xin just walks toward the kitchen.

In front of the door of the kitchen, she hears Old Madame Jing’s voice: “If you guys know a suitable woman for Lao Er, you should introduce her to him. He is fifty years old man. He shouldn’t be single for whole his lifetime. He should have someone to stay beside him.”

Jing Si says: “You know about Er Ge’s temper, he cannot change easily. That year he was in love with that woman so hard.”

Ji Yi: “I think Xiao Xi is good. I heard these years she also stays unmarried. She takes care of the cat that Er Ge gave her for twenty years. This year she is forty years old. If Er Ge gets married to her and they both work hard, maybe they will have kid.”

This makes Old Madame Jing’s heart turns happy: “Tomorrow several families will gather, call Xiao Xi to let her join too. I will be responsible to make sure Lao Er come. I will not let him make excuse.”

After a while, Old Madame Jing says again: “I am really old. The older a person is, she will regret a lot of things. I regret that I didn’t agree for him to marry to that woman. If I did, maybe he will have a family now….” She continues: “I hid it. I forced that woman to have abortion. I took her to the hospital…. the first time I did it, I kept on having a bad dream. I dreamt that kid come to find me, asked me why I didn’t want it. It said that I will get my judgement. Xin Xin’s twins are gone, was it God’s punishment for me?”

“Ma, what nonsense are you talking about? It’s New Year. Xin Xin’s kids were dead because of Yu Qing You. It’s unrelated to you.” Ji Yi says: “Tomorrow morning I’ll call Xiao Xi. I will definitely help you to make the wedding happens, don’t be sad…”

Ye Qing Xin stands there for a while and doesn’t get in at the last.

She thinks Xiao Xi should be Wen Ren Xi. The one that was forced to have abortion should be the hostess that Jing Suo Suo said.

Ye Qing Xin walks toward the small living room.

The door isn’t close. She could hear the men’s laughter and voice.

There’s also sound of fireworks outside.

She could see from the open door that Jing Bo Yuan is sitting down on the sofa. Except Jing Bo Yuan and Old Mister Jing, the other four men are smoking.
