Chapter 434
The atmosphere turns very familiar.
Dou Weir notices the car enters the courtyard, she is startled.
“What are you taking me here?”
He Ji Fan says nothing, he stops the car. He gets off the car and walks toward the stairs. Dou Weir sits on the back seat, she doesn’t get off the car.
He notices that she doesn’t follow. He Ji Fan turns his body and looks at each other silently.
He Ji Fan is angry, Dou Weir could feel it.
She admits that saying those words toward Shi Ying is too much. It’s unfair toward Zhou Zhou. But he wants to use silent treatment toward her? If he dissatisfied with her, he should just say it directly toward her. But she also has no play to be Zhou Zhou’s stepmother.
Dou Weir’s temper is not very good. Her temper is much more impulsive. These two years, she has learned to be much calmer. Yet then it doesn’t mean that she is a ‘punching bag’.
She gets off the car and walks toward the gate.
The atmosphere is silent, there’s only the sound of her high heels.
But then she hears another footstep, she couldn’t help but to walk even faster. But that man could chase after her easily. He holds her wrist and drags her to the elevator. He drags her inside till they arrive at the apartment, then he used to decorate for her. She says nothing.
The apartment has been empty for a long time. Yet it’s still as clean as it is before. It is not dusty. There should be someone who frequently cleans it up.
When they broke up, she returned it back to him. At first, she sometimes would come home to stay. But after a while, she doesn’t come back again. But to think carefully, it’s been a year.
He Ji Fan lights on his cigarette and looks at Dou Weir seriously. Dou Weir stands still in the center of the living room. Her eyes are looking at every places. She looks cold and expressionless.
She doesn’t think that He Ji Fan is taking her here for remembering the past. Moreover, there’s nothing to miss about them.
“Now we are here. Do you have anything to say to me?” After a while, He Ji Fan speaks up first.
Dou Weir raises her head and looks over: “What do you want me to say?”
He Ji Fan looks at her, he wants to see something on her face. Yet he just notices that she is at loss and confused. She really has nothing to say to him.
She remembers about the recording. In the full recording she seems to say to Shi Ying that “Shi Xiao Jie, not everything that you think is valuable, anyone might think the same. If you have no serious matter to say, please just go home.”
This means she basically doesn’t think He Ji Fan is a valuable one.
He Ji Fan is born in a rich family, he always be proud of himself. Hearing her saying those words to Shi Ying, somehow has attacked him.
This period of time, it’s the reason for him to not look for her.
In the past all women around him always acted like Shi Ying, they would take initiative to send theirselves to him. But only this woman in front of him, he feels that he would die because of anger soon.
He uses to hate those women who keep on looking for him. But now he wishes that Dou Weir could care of him. But turns out she doesn’t even take him into her heart.
He smokes several cigarettes then looks at Dou Weir.
Dou Weir feels awkward to be watched that way. The time he lights his seventh cigarette, finally she speaks up: “What do you want? Do you have something to talk about or not? I just came home from abroad. I’m so tired, I want to have a rest.”
Look, look at how impatient she is toward him. Now she still doesn’t care about him.
He Ji Fan’s face turns darker.
How could she be so indifferent in this familiar place.
Looking at how He Ji Fan doesn’t respond for a long time, she finally loses all her patience. She turns her body to leave. This man should be crazy today. He takes her casually here, and asks her whether she has something to say. She has a lot of words, she wants to say to him. But does he really want to listen to her?
Then there’re footsteps behind her. He Ji Fan is following her.
The car enters the Zhong Hua Yuan, it’s already 11:00 pm. Dou Weir is sleeping on the way, she is really tired.
Tonight she doesn’t say anything, He Ji Fan also doesn’t say anything. Dou Weir just thinks that he is just having a crazy time.
The next day, Dou Weir wakes up in the afternoon. She just orders a simple breakfast. Then she does her makeup and goes to the hospital to visit her Nai Nai.
Old Madame Dou is in stable condition. Every day she takes her medicine and listens to Beijing opera to spend the time.
Old Madame Dou mentions about Xiao he again. She starts to be worried for Dou Weir and Xiao He’s relationship.
Dou Weir finds an excuse but Old Madame Dou’s face just turns cold. “Weir, tell Nai Nai honestly. Do you fight with Xiao He?”
Dou Weir is startled and just answers: “Nai Nai, how could you guess it? I’m, I’m just afraid that you would worry so I don’t tell you. Xiao He….. I break up with him….”
“What?” Old Madame Dou doesn’t think that the matter is so serious: “Why are you guys breaking up?”
Dou Weir’s face shows that she feels guilty: “I’m sorry. I hide this fact from you. Actually his parents don’t approve us to be together. He keeps on having fights with his family. At first we planned to get married after the National Day. We planned to just depend on ourselves for our future. But then he went abroad and something happened between us. We just realize that we don’t suitable for each other. So we just break up…”
“Stupid kid, how could you not tell Nai Nai?” How could Old Madame Dou blame her own granddaughter. She strokes her granddaughter’s hand and says: “Don’t be sad. Our Weir is an excellent woman, you’ll get a better one.”
Hearing these comfort words, Dou Weir feels even guiltier: “We break up peacefully so I’m not really sad. It’s just Nai Nai… I’m sorry……”
Old Madame Dou thinks that she is saying sorry for breaking up. She is even sadder for her granddaughter.
“Nai Nai, eat these fruits first, I need too pay for the nurse.” Dou Weir serves Old Madame Dou a plate of apple slices. Then she leaves.
The time she returns, she stands in front of the door and hears something inside. Old Madame Dou is laughing. Dou Weir is startled and tries to eavesdrop. She hears a male voice, a familiar voice.
She is surprised and opens the door.
He Ji Fan and Old Madame Dou look at her at the same time. He Ji Fan’s gaze changes when he notices Dou Weir but he quickly regains himself. Old Madame Dou notices that Dou Weir is staring blankly. She couldn’t help but to criticize her: “Xiao He’s Shu Shu (Uncle) comes over to look for me. You kid, why are you just staring at us, greet him.”
Dou Weir looks at He Ji Fan confusedly. Xiao He Shu Shu? Who could tell her what is happening here?
“Call He Shu Shu.” Old Madame Dou urges.
Dou Weir just follows unwillingly: “He Shu Shu.”
“Pour him a cup of tea.” Old Madame Dou asks.
Dou Weir passes a cup of tea to He Ji Fan and glares ruthless at him in Old Madame Dou’s blindspot.
He Ji Fan feels good about it, he smiles even brighter.
Dou Weir is so furious and glares at him again.
This womanizer, what is he planning to do?
She notices that He Ji Fan brings a lot of nutriment for Old Madame Dou.
“Our Weir is a very innocent woman, she is so kind. When I heard that she would get marry, I felt very happy, but also worried. I am worried that she would not live well. You should understand my feeling.”
“Of course, Old Madame. For what’s happening between Dou Weir and my niece I could only say that my niece have no good fortune to be with Dou Weir. Today I come here to make a formal apology to you. In the future, I would also take more care for Weir at Jing City to repay what my niece owes her.” He JI Fan lies with open eyes.
Dou Weir listens to his words and worries that he would say something that he shouldn’t.
“Forget it, ‘an awkward arrangement without the consent of the parties concerned’. Just let the past passes. These kids also break up in peaceful way. There’s now debt between them. I’m grateful your intention. Don’t forget to bring these things home, I also couldn’t take it.”
“Old Madame, please take it. Weir is my junior. You’ve been hospitalized for some time yet I never visit you. I’m really sorry.”
Then He Ji Fan starts to shift the conversation, he talks about his experiences and knowledge of Beijing opera. They are talking and chatting interestingly.
This time He Ji Fan looks so different from his usual self. He isn’t acting as careless playboy or a boss with a highly position. He acts like a normal junior who treats his senior with respect. He looks sincere.
When they are talking about Beijing opera, Old Madame Dou feels very excited and happy.
Dou Weir watches both of them, she couldn’t help but feel happy to see it.
It’s been a long time since she saw Nai Nai be so happy.
Old Madame Dou seems to like He Ji Fan. At last, she asks about He Ji Fan’s marital status. She is curious of why He Ji Fan still be a single man. He Ji Fan makes a reason that he is single because he is so busy with his business. Old Madame Dou sighs.
She looks at her granddaughter, who told her that she is single now. She thinks of something. But she finally votes it down, He Ji Fan seems a bit older.
When He Ji Fan wants to leave, Old Madame Dou asks Dou Weir to send him out. Dou Weir has no way so she just follows Old Madame Dou’s request.
The time they exit the room, Dou Weir’s face just changes.
“What are you doing? Who asks you to come?”
He Ji Fan laughs: “Your Nai Nai seems to like me so much. Later on tell I’ll come everyday to meet her, what do you think?”
Dou Weir clenches her fist: “Don’t you listen to my question? Later on you are not allowed to come and harass my Nai Nai.”
“Why do you describe this in such terrible way?” He Ji Fan walks behind Dou Weir. Then he suddenly approaches her and says on her ear: “I decide to chance my tactic. Since it’s hard to tackle you, then I could just try it from your family member. Wait till Nai Nai asks you to marry me, I would see how would you refuse.”
Dou Weir looks at him and rolls her eyes: “You? If Nai Nai knew how fast you are in changing your girlfriend? and your almost- two years old son, do you think she would like you?”
