Chapter 269 (1/2)

Ye Qing Xin notices Gu Qiao’s gaze on her, the time she turns her head to see her. Their eyes meet each other. She smiles toward Gu Qiao politely.

But it somehow makes Gu Qiao turns startled.

“Qiao Qiao, don’t be sad. It’s good to cancel the wedding. From the beginning I also feel that they do not have good motivation. But your Ma insisted. Now your Ma could not control you anymore. Now you are only twenty seven, there’s still time. You will meet someone that can treat you well and sincerely.”

Old Madame Yan strokes Gu Qiao’s hand gently.

Gu Qiao regains herself and looks at Old Madame Yan’s eyes. She chokes: “Nai Nai, I’m tired. I want to rest.”

“Okay, have a rest. We will not disturb you again.” Old Madame Yan let her lay down. Zhao You Jia wants to help her but Gu Qiao avoids his touch.

Zhao You Jia’s hands stop in the mid-air, but he quickly takes his hands back.

Ye Qing Xin, Jing Bo Yuan and Old Madame Sheng stand up. Jing Bo Yuan says: “We will go home first.”

Old Madame Yan hurriedly covers Gu Qiao with blanket, the time she hears Ye Qing Xin wants to go home. She says hurriedly: “Wait for a while, I will go home with you.”

Gu Qiao is startled with tears and calls after her: “Nai Nai…” she is unwilling to be left.

After the accident, Gu Qiao feels that Old Madame Yan’s companion as part of comfort for her.

She loses her leg, she doesn’t have the whole family anymore. She cannot live without Old Madame Yan’s love.

Old Madame Yan stops and turns her head to look at the miserable Gu Qiao. She cannot leave.

Gu Qiao stays by her side for more than years. At the most difficult time during her life, she stayed by her side and made her laugh. Gu Qiao helped her spend the difficult days. Now her granddaughter is back, she loves Ye Qing Xin dearly but she still loves Gu Qiao too.

Ye Qing Xin looks at Gu Qiao and Old Madame Yan, she smiles: “Wai Po, if not you stay here to accompany Qiao Qia Jie, now she needs her family to stay by her side.”

Retreat in order to advance.

Old Madame Yan considers for a while. She clutches Gu Qiao’s hand and persuades her: “Qiao Qiao, let Nai Nai go home for a while okay. Tomorrow I will come and visit you again?”

Gu Qiao’s eyes turn sad, but she let Old Madame Yan’s hand go. She nods lightly.

Old Madame Yan pats Gu Qiao’s shoulder and walks toward Ye Qing Xin’s side. She holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and smiles.

Ye Qing Xin smiles back at her and says nothing.

If Old Madame Yan wants to stay and take care of Gu Qiao, Ye Qing Xin will not stop her. At the same time, if Old Madame Yan wants to go home and accompany her, she also will not refuse.

Gu Qiao is badly injured, Ye Qing Xin will not harm her when she’s down but at the same time, she cannot help her too.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t forget that in the beginning because of her, Zhao You Jia blackmailed Doctor Su to do something to her body. Though she is not sure whether Gu Qiao knows about it or not, but it is related to her somehow.

Ye Qing Xin also doesn’t forget that if Zhao You Jia’s plan is successful, she will not be with Jing Bo Yuan. She will not be the mother of her three kids.

It’s so windy when they come out of the hospital.

Jing Bo Yuan holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand.

Old Madame Sheng sighs and says: “Qiao Qiao is so miserable. Huang Wei Juan did something terrible and made her reputation bad. If there’s Yan family, she will be ruined forever. …. miserable kid……”

Old Madame Yan sighs: “That’s right.”

They return to the Nan Shan Mansion. In the afternoon 12:00 a.m. Old Mister Yan and old Mister Sheng go out to meet with their old friends.

On the dining table, Old Madame Sheng wraps thin pancake with sweet sauce roast duck for Ye Qing Xin. She says: “Tonight Xin Xin and me will go back to Sheng family for a while, I have something to talk to.” Then she says to Jing Bo Yuan: “A Yuan also follow us.”

Ye Qing Xin asks: “What is it?”

Old Madame Sheng smiles: “It’s about will.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled.

Will?

She looks at Old Madame Sheng with her confused stare.

Old Madame Sheng looks at Old Madame Yan and says: “I and your Ye Ye are old. We don’t know till when we can live. We are not as healthy like we use to be. Maybe we will be die soon. It’s better to be prepared so we can be relieved.”

Ye Qing Xin feels a bit sad.

She just finds her relatives. She wants to spend more time with them. Now yet they talk about their old age like they will leave soon.

She cannot accept this.

“Nai Nai….”

“Look at you. What is this. We are old but it’s inevitable. You don’t need top be sad. I’m happy that you can live well.”

“Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Let’s enjoy our lunch.”

Old Madame Yan looks Ye Qing Xin’s face and seems to be thinking of something.

After the lunch.

Jing Bo Yuan leaves to handle his own business, Ye Qing Xin stays at home with her two grandmas.

Ye Qing Xin’s phone suddenly rings. She takes it and looks at the screen. It’s a call from Gu Qiao. She is surprised.

She stands up and walks toward her hanging chair. She answers it.

“Xin Xin.” Gu Qiao says hoarsely.

Ye Qing Xin says nothing and listens to her.

Gu Qiao says: “I am really jealous of you. You used to have nothing, but now you have everything. Xin Xin, I am not only jealous of you but I also envy you.”

“I envy you that you have that man’s love and care. I envy you that you can be pregnant with his kids. I envy you that you can have a great status now. I envy that you are prettier than before.”

Ye Qing Xin sits down on her hanging chair and cuts her off: “What do you want to say, say it directly.”

Gu Qiao is startled and says: “For my ma’s matter, please be magnanimous.”

Ye Qing Xin pursues her lips and says nothing.

“I apologize to you for what my Ma did. Xin Xin, I’m sorry. My Ma let someone to kidnap you. She was afraid that you will rob everything that she had. Xin Xin, I promise you as long…. as you let Jing…. Jing Bo Yuan let go of my Ma, I will not fight with you for what Yan family has.”

Gu Qiao is like a filial daughter.

Ye Qing Xin thinks that Gu Qiao probably doesn’t know that her leg is gone because of her mother.

“First……’ Ye Qing Xin smiles, “Yan family’s wealth and glory are not your mother.”

“Second, for all Yan family’s assets, it belongs to Wai Gong and Wai Po. It’s their right to give it to anyone. I will not fight for it.”

“Third, your mother did something wrong, let the law decides what should be her punishment. I and Bo Yuan are just ordinary people. We are not government officials, we have no right to intervene.”

Ye Qing Xin is calm.

Gu Qiao is silent for a while and speaks up again: “Xin Xin, I beg you. Don’t let my ma stays in the prison. She already knows her wrongdoing. She regrets it. Just take a look at me… I lose my legs, can you just take pity on me, and don’t let me lose my mother?”

Ye Qing Xin is still calm: “You should know that the day your mother is successful for her plan to kidnap me, what will it be for me? They wanted to make me unconscious, they didn’t care about my kids. You and your mother are miserable. But what about me and my kids? Should I let me and my kids be treated that way?’

“Your mother wanted to kidnap me, what will she do do to us? Em, will she take pity on me, and let me go?”

Gu Qiao turns silent.

Ye Qing Xin says: “Gu Qiao, there’s a proverb saying that who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind. It’s very suitable for your mother.”

Then Ye Qing Xin hangs up. She takes a deep breath.

Ye Qing Xin strokes her belly. She should calm down and maintain her mood.

“Who is calling? Why are you talking so long?” Old Madame Sheng asks when Ye Qing Xin comes back to sit down on the sofa.

Ye Qing Xin laughs: “A friend.”

In the afternoon 04:30 p.m. Jing Bo Yuan comes home. He changes his clothes and drives Old Madame Sheng and Ye Qing Xin back home.

Sheng family house is located at the most expensive area in Jing City. It’s the second time for Ye Qing Xin to come over. After it is known that she is part of Sheng family, Old Madame Sheng took her to her house once.

The maid opens the door for them and greets all of them. “Old Madame, Xiao Jie, Gu Ye (Son-in-law/ Jing Bo Yuan).”

Just like usual, Jing Bo Yuan helps Ye Qing Xin to change into slipper. Old Madame Sheng watches them and feels happy for it.

“Ay, it’s A Yuan? Why are you kneeling down? I even cannot recognize you?” Sheng Wen Qiong appears.

Jing Bo Yuan helps Ye Qing Xin and doesn’t change his expression. He just looks at Sheng Wen Qiong. He follows Ye Qing Xin to greet Sheng Wen Qiong: “Gu Gu.”

He is polite.

Sheng Wen Qiong laughs coldly: “For a woman, you don’t mind your pride. You are big boss but you are willing to bow down and help her to change her shoes. Aren’t you afraid that it’ll be a joke to the public.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles lightly: “A husband is helping his wife, isn’t it normal?”
