Power and Wealth

Chapter 294 – Sister Yu

Afternoon, at 5 pm.

Huamei estate. Yu Meixia’s apartment.

The mother and daughter had moved into this apartment for some time. However, the apartment still smells of new furniture and renovations.

After returning home, Yu Qianqian stopped crying, as she felt better after Dong Xuebing scolded Lui Xiaolei and his father. Furthermore, Yu Qianqian was not taken advantage of and had also scratched Lui Xiaolei’s face. Dong Xuebing also consoled her on the way home, and she had forgotten about this incident. But Dong Xuebing did not forget about this incident, and he felt he is responsible for this incident. This is not coincident. Regardless if it was Lui Dafa asking his son to do this, or it was his son who did this on his own accord, it was Dong Xuebing who implicated Yu Qianqian. This made him feel guilty.

Lui Dafa! I will settle this score with you!

“Qianqian, what do you want to eat for dinner?” Dong Xuebing asked.

“I am fine with anything. There are some leftovers in the fridge.”

“I will cook something for you.” Dong Xuebing said. “Oh, remember to call me immediately if anyone tries to bully you.”

Yu Qianqian lowered her head and softly said. “Mum says... you are busy, and don’t allow me to call you.”

“Nonsense! See how I am going to deal with her after she returns!” Dong Xuebing said angrily.

“No...” Yu Qianqian quickly said. “Big Brother, Mum did not say that.”

As they were talking, Yu Meixia returned home. She is wearing a down jacket and holding a few bags of groceries. It’s been a while since Dong Xuebing saw Yu Meixia, and she looks slightly more matured and attractive.

“Mum...”

“You are back?” Suddenly, Yu Meixia noticed Dong Xuebing on the sofa and was surprised. “Xiao Bing?”

Dong Xuebing ignored her and lit a cigarette.

Yu Meixia got worried and said. “Chief Dong, have you taken your dinner? I... I will prepare dinner now.”

Dong Xuebing continues to ignore her.

Yu Meixia was puzzled and asked her daughter softly. “Why is your Big Brother here?”

Yu Qianqian’s eyes turn red and told her mother what happened today. Yu Meixia was shocked and quickly asked if she was injured. Yu Qianqian shook her head and hugged her mother. Yu Meixia started crying. “It’s all my fault. If I had to fetch you from school, this would not happen. Qianqian... I... I will stop working in the future.” She had started work as a cashier at a supermarket, and can’t fetch Yu Qianqian from school because of work.

Yu Qianqian hugged her mother tightly. “Mum... I am fine.”

Dong Xuebing looks at Yu Meixia. “Did you ask Yu Qianqian not to call me?”

“... yes.” Yu Meixia lowered her head and dared not look at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette. “What is wrong with you? Why did you stop Qianqian from contacting me? Ah? Luckily, nothing happened to her this time. If Qianqian had told me that someone tried to extort money from her yesterday, I would have taken care of it, and this incident will not happen!”

“I...” Yu Meixia bit her lower lips and did not say anything.

“I had bought a handphone for Qianqian is for her to call me. Why are you stopping her?” Dong Xuebing is mad.

Yu Meixia started crying after getting scolded by Dong Xuebing.

Yu Qianqian cried and tried to protect her mother. She looked at Dong Xuebing and said. “Big Brother! Don’t scold my mother!”

Dong Xuebing did not expect Yu Meixia to start crying. He was mad because he is concern about Qianqian and got furious when he heard Yu Meixia stopped Yu Qianqian from calling him. That’s why he scolded Yu Meixia when she returns home.

Yu Qianqian sobbed. “Mum... stop crying... it’s all my fault.”

“It’s my fault...” Yu Meixia hugged her daughter and sobbed.

Dong Xuebing stood up. “Err... Sister Yu...”

Yu Meixia looked at Dong Xuebing and wiped her tears. “Chief Dong, I am not smart since young and does not know as many things as you all who grew up in the cities. But I am not stupid... I know you have been avoiding us recently... I don’t know the reasons, but I just know you do not want to see me... That’s why I did not dare to call you or let Qianqian call you when you are hospitalized and gotten your award. I am afraid of bothering you and... affecting your work.”

Huh? This is the reason?

Dong Xuebing felt guilty. In the end, he is the one who caused this, and he still scolded Yu Meixia.

Dong Xuebing quickly walks over. “Sister Yu, what are you talking about? When did I avoid you all? I was just busy with work and was hospitalized several times. I don’t want you all to be worried, and that’s why I did not call you all. Don’t think so much... Please stop crying... It’s all my fault... I will apologize.”

Yu Meixia sobbed. “... It’s my fault.”

“You had done nothing wrong.” Dong Xuebing passed a piece of tissue paper to Yu Meixia. “Wipe your tears and stop crying. You are a grown-up, and your daughter is looking at you.”

Yu Meixia wiped her tears with the tissue paper.

Yu Qianqian saw her mother stopped crying, and she stops.

Dong Xuebing was relieved and wiped his sweat on his forehead. “That’s right. It’s already 5.30 pm. Let’s have dinner.”

Yu Meixia quickly says. “I will go and cook now.”

“Wait...” Dong Xuebing stopped Yu Meixia. “I will cook dinner today.”

Yu Meixia waved her hand. “You should rest after working for the whole day. I will cook.”

Dong Xuebing laughed and said. “I am not working today. Just remain here and watch TV.” Dong Xuebing entered the kitchen and started cooking. Although he is rash and impulsive, he knows what’s right and wrong. Since this is his fault, he must apologize. Of course, he is always good for women.

After dinner.

Dong Xuebing asked Yu Qianqian to return to her room to do her homework, and he enters the kitchen.

Yu Meixia is standing by the sink, washing the dishes. She had changed into a knitted sweater and loose pants, making her look more mature. When Dong Xuebing was injured and resting at home, he had some ‘close encounters’ with Yu Meixia and had asked many personal questions about her. They had gone beyond friends, but not yet a couple.

Dong Xuebing could feel himself getting warmer as he looks at Yu Meixia’s curvy ass.

Yu Meixia heard someone behind her, and she turns to see Dong Xuebing looking at her ass. She blushed and said. “I can do the dishes myself, and you can go out for a smoke.”

Dong Xuebing nodded and took out his cigarettes. “I can also smoke here.”

Yu Meixia quickly wiped her hands and took out a lighter from her pocket to light Dong Xuebing’s cigarettes.

Dong Xuebing was surprised. “Did you started smoking? Why are you carrying a lighter with you?”

“No. I... I just put it in my pocket for convenience.”

Whenever Yu Meixia is around Dong Xuebing, she would light his cigarettes, and Dong Xuebing knew Sister Yu must have been waiting for him to visit her. But she does not know when he will be visiting, so she carried a lighter around. Dong Xuebing felt touched by this gesture. He had touched her several times and flirted with her, but she never complains and still treated him so well. He felt bad for avoiding her.

Dong Xuebing said softly. “You must not avoid me in the future.”

“... I did not.” Yu Meixia’s hand shook. “I am afraid you...”

Dong Xuebing is too embarrassed to admit he had wanted to avoid Yu Meixia. “Anyway, just call me whenever something happens. Even if it is something trivial like a leaking tap, or you cannot fetch Qianqian from school, just call me. Do you understand?”

“... Ok.”

“I will try to visit you more often. Staying alone is quite lonely.”

Yu Meixia looks at Dong Xuebing. “Qianqian will be happy to hear this. She misses you a lot.”

“What about you?” Dong Xuebing looks at Yu Meixia into her eyes. “Are you happy to see me here?”

Yu Meixia’s blushes and continue washing the dishes. She mumbled a soft reply. “Yes.”

“Haha... then I will come over on my off days.”

Dong Xuebing looks at Sister Yu’s back and thought about his women. Xie Huilan is very smart and does not show her concern easily. Qu Yunxuan’s gentleness is embedded within her, and her every movement shows it. But Yu Meixia’s gentleness is buried within her heart. She can touch Dong Xuebing every once in a while. Sigh... all three of them are perfect women. If only I can marry all of them.

After washing the dishes, Dong Xuebing and Yu Meixia returned to the living room to watch the news.

“I’m sorry about earlier.” Dong Xuebing apologized when Qianqian is not around. “I did not mean to scold you. I was only...”

Yu Meixia replied softly. “I understand. You said those things is because you are concerned about Qianqian.”

“Err... Are you angry with me?”

“No.”

Sister Yu got an inferiority complex and is an introvert. She will keep everything to herself, and Dong Xuebing does not know if she is still angry. He places his hands on her shoulders. “Is working at the supermarket tiring? Turn around. I will massage your shoulders.”

“No... You should not do this!” Yu Meixia panics.

Dong Xuebing replied gently. “You have always massaged me, and it’s my turn.”

“Please don’t bother. I... I am fine.”

“Hurry up and turn around!”

Yu Meixia quickly glanced towards the room and saw the door is shut, before turning her back towards Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing places his hands on her shoulders and starts pressing. He can feel the tension on her neck and shoulders. “Your neck is too stiff. You should rest at home. Why do you have to suffer at the supermarket? Didn’t I transfer money to you earlier this month? Have you received it?”

“... yes.”

“Then why didn’t you use it?”

“That is my salary for being your helper. I had not worked these few months, and I should not receive it.”

“Why are you so stubborn?”

Dong Xuebing had been avoiding Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian. Still, he did not forget about them and will transfer a few thousand RMB to Yu Meixia every month. But after hearing what Yu Meixia said, he knows she had pride and is not willing to use his money. That’s why she went to work as a cashier at the supermarket. Dong Xuebing sighed and did not mention about money again. “Just do whatever you want. Are your shoulders feeling better?”

“Yes. Xiao Bing. I am feeling better.”

“I had only massaged you for a while. How can you feel better, so fast?”

“I am afraid you will get tired. I am really fine, and you can stop.”

Dong Xuebing ignored her and continued with his massage. After pressing Yu Meixia’s shoulders and neck, he massaged her lower back. Sister Yu’s curvy body is softer than Qu Yunxuan and felt good to touch.

“Your body is so soft.” Dong Xuebing said.

Yu Meixia blushed. “I am old, and after I stopped working at the farms, I grew fat.”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “This is fat. This is curvy, and it is just right.”

“......” Yu Meixia did not say anything.

“Actually...” Dong Xuebing looks at Yu Meixia’s face. “You look better with your hair tied up in a bun.” Dong Xuebing likes to see her with her hair in a bun.

Yu Meixia mumbled a soft reply.

“Err... this is just a casual remark.” Dong Xuebing regretted after saying those things. He cursed himself in his heart. ‘Why can’t you change this habit? Sister Xie and Aunt Xuan have finally cooled down, and you are flirting with another woman again?! You are asking for trouble!’

Half an hour later.

“Alright. Move your shoulders and see if it is still tense.” Dong Xuebing removed his hands.

Yu Meixia moved her shoulders. “I feel lighter. Thank you. You are so good at massage.”

Dong Xuebing did not tell Yu Meixia that is was because he always massages Aunt Xuan. “Err... My mum has neck and shoulders pain, and I used to massage for her. After a while, I got better. Let me know if you have aching shoulders, and I will give you a massage.”

“No need. It will be too troublesome for you.”

“You don’t need to stand on ceremony with me.”

Yu Meixia poured a cup of tea for Dong Xuebing before going to the bathroom. She returned after a while and sat down awkwardly beside Dong Xuebing. At first, Dong Xuebing did not notice anything, but when he turns to look at her, he noticed Yu Meixia had changed her hairstyle. She had tied her hair into a bun.

Dong Xuebing was surprised. “Why did you change your hairstyle?”

“You said... I... look better with my hair tied up in a bum.” Yu Meixia’s face and neck turn red.

Dong Xuebing was touched and reached over to hold Yu Meixia’s hand. He was about to say something when the bedroom door opens suddenly.

Dong Xuebing quickly withdraws his hand, and Yu Meixia quickly straightens herself.

“Mum, Big Brother, I had finished my homework.” Yu Qianqian walks into the living room. “Can I watch TV for a while?”

Dong Xuebing laughed and waved Yu Qianqian over. “Come and sit here.”

“Ok!” Yu Qianqian sat down and hugged her mother’s arm.

Yu Meixia stopped blushing and stroked her daughter’s hair lovingly.

The TV is showing a newly built wildlife safari zoo on Fen Zhou City’s TV channel. The zoo is in the countryside of Fen Zhou City and is not far from Yan Tai County. This zoo claimed to be the biggest in Hebei Province. Of course, it meant the land area and not the number of animals. Here, Tourists can see a few tigers and monkeys roaming freely from the tour bus.

Yu Qianqian shouted excitedly. “It’s a tiger! It’s a big tiger!”

“You have never seen a tiger?” Dong Xuebing looks at her.

“We don’t have tigers in the mountains around our village and can only see it on TV.”

Yu Meixia stroked her daughter’s hair. “The mountains around our village are small, and there are no tigers. You can only find tigers in the zoo.”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. If there are tigers in the mountains beside your village, the villagers will be dinner for them.

“Mum...” Yu Qianqian’s eyes are still glued to the TV. “I want to see tigers, lions, and crocodiles.”

Yu Meixia replied. “You will not see crocodiles in winter, and this is not the season to see animals.”

“Ok...” Yu Qianqian was disappointed.

Dong Xuebing noticed it and said. “Who cares if it is winter or not. Since Qianqian wants to look at animals, we will go. Tomorrow is Saturday, and I am not working. Let’s go tomorrow!”

Yu Qianqian jumped up excitedly and cheered. “Thank you, Big Brother!”
