Zhou Qiao Qiao looks at the ceiling and doesn’t want to eat or drink. It lets Ye Qing Xin remembers what happened last ten years. The time Ye Jun Dong abandoned.
She is worried about her.
“Ma, sit up and eat a bit.”
“......”
Ye Qing Xin puts down the lunchbox and holds her hand: “Ma, don’t worry. This morning there’s a doctor that will check up on you. You’ll be okay.”
“......”
Suddenly she thinks about something and she calls Ye Qing Guo’s teacher. She asks the teacher to talk to Ye Qing Guo.
After a while, there’s a happy voice of Ye Qing Guo: “Jie Jie (Sister)!”
“Xiao Guo, Mama is not happy. Talk with Mama, okay?”
“Okay!”
Ye Qing Xin switches on her speaker and passes the phone to Zhou Qiao Qiao: “Xiao Guo, now you can talk.”
“Mama, Xiao Guo already can do the multiplication. Lao Shi (Teacher) praises me, she said that I’m very smart.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao starts to move, Ye Qing Xin is happy: “Xiao Guo, let Mama hears it.”
“1×1=1, 1×2= 2.....”
Zhou Qiao Qiao hears it and her tears start to pool up.
After a while.
After the call ends, Zhou Qiao Qiao sits up. She holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and asks her: “Xin Xin, when Mama is gone, you need to take a good care of Xiao Guo.”
“Ma, don’t talk like that, you’ll get better.”
“I know my body clearly. I’ve a lot of mistakes in this life. I’m wronged a lot of people. This is my consequence. Mama has accepted. I just cannot be relieved because of Xiao Guo......”
“Xin Xin, you are strong and generous kid, later on please help me to take care of Xiao Guo.”
Ye Qing Xin is so heartbroken for her: “Ma....”
“Xin Xin, promise Mama. You’ll take a good care of Xiao Guo, don’t abandon him?”
Ye Qing Xin nods.
Zhou Qiao Qiao starts to feel at ease.
“Go to your class. Don’t miss it because of me.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I’ll go this afternoon, anyway the morning class has ended.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao doesn’t say anything else. She just closes her eyes and takes a rest.
Ye Qing Xin’s phone rings.
It’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.\
She wants to go out to answer it. The time she comes out, she bumps into He Yi Yi. But she just passes her.
She answers. “Xin Xin....”
He Yi Yi recognizes her and asks to the nurse station. “Who is the patient of 1403? What is her disease?”
“What is the relation between that girl and the patient?”
“It should be her daughter.”
“O, thank you.”
Then she goes to the 1407 room. Old Madame He is sitting on the bed. Yu Qing You and Old Madame Sheng are sitting down on the side and chatting.
He Yi Yi smiles at her grandma and greets her: “Nai Nia.” Then she greets Old Madame He and Yu Qing You: “Sheng Nai Nai, Hi, Qing You Jie (Sis Qing You).”
Old Madame He smiles at her: :”You little girl, finally you have time to mvisit me, you and your Da Ge (Big Brother) Er Ge (Second older brother) are the same, you all forget about me!”
“Who dare enough to forget you. I just come.”
She chats with her grandma. Then she looks at Yu Qing You, she purposely points out: “Qing You Jie, before I bumped into an old friend, let’s go out and greet them okay? So we can let Nai Nai and Sheng Nai Nai to chat.”
They come out of the sickroom.
He Yi Yi points out at the room 1043: “Guess who is inside?”
Yu Qing You shakes her head, she is uninterested: “I don’t know.”
“She calls Zhou Qiao Qiao, Ye Qing Xin’s Ma. You should know about Ye Qing Xin’s familiy situation right. She shouldn’t have money to come here to get treatment, moreover now she stays in VIP Room. Maybe she asks Biao Ge (Male cousin) to give her money. She is too shameless.”
He Yi Yi likes Ji Yan Xi, but Ji Yan Xi likes Dou Weir. Ye Qing Xin is Dou Weir’s best friend. So she doesn’t like Ye Qing Xin.
“Do you know what illness her mother has?”
“Lung cancer, she should be in the end stage. At most she can only live for a month.”
Yu Qing You just watches the room and doesn’t say anything else.
He Yi Yi says again: “I don’t really know what Biao Ge likes about Ye Qing Xin, her family is no good. She has a dying ma. I heard that her Di Di (Little brother) also idiot? Really, she is unfit for Biao Ge!”
After a while.
Yu Qing You regains herself and smiles at He Yi Yi: “It’s his own problem. We cannot control it. Let’s go back.”
She says it and returns to Old Madame He’s room.
He Yi Yi feels dejected.
Ye Qing Xin hangs up and returns back to the room. The old auntie that she helped last night, comes over to bring food for her.
Old Auntie smiles at her: “My Po Po (mother-in-law) can stay in the best sickroom, thanks to you. We are poor, we cannot repay you. This is my husband’s cooking. It’s delicious. I come to share it with you.”
It’s a simple thank you token.
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Thank you.”
The old auntie leaves.
Zhou Qiao Qiao suddenly asks: “Xin Xin, this room looks expensive, where do you get the money? What did that old sister mean? What is your relationship with her?”
Ye Qing Xin peels an apple and looks at her. She smiles: “It’s my friend. He is close with the director of the hospital. Last night there’s no room in the general room. So because of my friend, he helped to arrange this for me. I can pay for this the same rate as general room.”
“That old auntie... last night she helped me. So I mentioned to director to help her too. I didn’t expect that she will be helped too.”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t lie completely. She just expresses it in different wording.
Zhou Qiao Qiao listens to it and frowns: “What friend?”
Ye Qing Xin is just an ordinary girl, how can she have that kind of friend.”
“A school mate.”
“Is it the man that you date?”
Ye Qing Xin purses her lips and doesn’t deny.
After a while. Zhou Qiao Qiao says: “Xin Xin, bring him over for me to see him.”
“Ma, eat the apple.”
“Don’t shift the topic, bring him over to let me see.”
She says again after noticing Ye Qing Xin’s silence: “Since you are boyfriend and girlfriend, it is appropriate to meet the family. Is it inconvenient?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles at her: “I’ll call him and talk to him. But he needs some time.”
“Why?”
“He is injured, his leg is inconvenient. You are not hoping that your son-in-law come over with just one leg right?”
Zhou Qiao Qiao laughs: “You....”
Auntie Zhang comes over to the hospital to send the lunch, Ye Qing Xin doesn’t allow to send her downstairs. She leaves by herself.
After the lunch, she let Zhou Qiao Qiao takes her afternoon nap and goes back to university to attend class.
This morning Jing Bo Yuan called her to tell that the doctor from Japan will arrive at five o’clock. They will come by around seven o’clock at night.
The time she arrives at the classroom. Dou Weir asks her: “Yesterday were you happy to stroll with your A Yi (Auntie)?”
Ye Qing Xin purses her lips and says : “My Ma is hospitalized.”
Dou Weir is surprised, ” Is it serious?”
“It’s lung cancer, she has reached the end stage.”
Dou Weir: “.......” She holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and comforts: “A Yi will be okay, no need to worry.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles.
Zhou Ji hospital, room 1043.
Zhou Qiao Qiao is staring blankly at the ceiling. Every time she coughs, she reaches for the towel.
The nurse stays beside her and watches the Tv. She tries to chat with Zhou Qiao Qiao: “A Yi, your daughter’s boyfriend is really handsome?”
“You met him?”
“Em, last night when I came over, he was here. He is so handsome and seems to be a successful man.”
“Hmm, he is hurt, his leg is hurt, how can he come over.”
“Perhaps it’s getting better. Yesterday I saw he walked well.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao frowns. She wants to ask again, but the door is knocked.
The nurse stands up and opens the door. It’s a beautiful woman around twenty seven or twenty eight. She looks elegant.
“You are?” The nurse asks.
Yu Qing You ignores the nurse and comes inside. She stands near Zhou Qiao Qiao’s bed and looks at her: “Can I talk with you alone?”
Zhou Qiao Qiao watches her for several seconds and then looks at the nurse “Xiao Lin, go and help me buy watermelon. I want to eat it.”
The nurse looks at Yu Qing You, she is somewhat hesitant.
Zhou Qiao Qiao smiles; “I’m okay, go.”
The nurse closes the door and leaves.
Yu Qing You sits down on the sofa. She acts like she is so high-class.
Zhou Qiao Qiao frowns: “you are?”
Yu Qing You smiles: “It’s not important who I am. The important thing is about what will I tell you. Do you know Jing Bo Yuan?”
Zhou Qiao Qiao frowns and feels confused.
Yu Qing You continues: “It seems that your daughter hasn’t told you that she has intimate relationship with a very wealthy man.”
Her words are not pleasant to hear, Zhou Qiao Qiao is furious: “What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Bo Wei company, Jing Bo Yuan establishes it by himself. His company net income is reached up to two hundred billions. His father and Third uncle is central authorities high official. His second uncle is military man. You and your family is very poor, shouldn’t I say that Ye Qing Xin has intimate relationship with Jing Bo Yuan?”
Zhou Qiao Qiao is confused.
She didn’t expect that the son-in-law that her daughter said is that great.
Yu Qing You continues: “I heard that you have reached the end stage of your lung cancer. You only have a month left. You died, then who will handle and take care of your son? Have you ever think about that? With Jing Bo Yuan’s great family background, will his family allow him to marry Ye Qing Xin? Even though they can accept her, what about your son? Can they accept Ye Qing Xin’s action to raise up her Di Di (little brother)?”
“That time with your death, Ye Qing Xin maybe will be attracted with money and power and abandon her Di Di? Your son is so miserable.”
Yu Qing You purposely says that.
“Think about it. Your son cannot live by his own. He will be left stranded on the street. He will beg. Maybe he will live worse than a dog...”
“Stop it! Xin Xin is not that kind of person, she will not abandon Xiao Guo, stop your blabbering!”
“It’s not nonsense. There’s a proverb “Birds die in pursuit of food”, everyone has his/her own selfishness. But you don’t need to worry that time you’ll be dead, and you cannot see it.”
<cough> <cough>...... Zhou Qiao Qiao starts to cough again. The blood comes out from her mouth and drops to her blanket.
Yu Qing You is shocked. She stands up and leaves.
Zhou Qiao Qiao turns emotional, she cannot stop coughing.
She is emotional because of her words. She cannot control her mind.
Ye Qing Xin finishes her class and Driver Lu has waited for her to come out.
Ye Qing Xin sits down on the backseat.
She thinks about her mother’s request to meet Jing Bo Yuan. She hesitates and calls Jing Bo Yuan.
“Hello.”
Ye Qing Xin’s heart starts to beat so fast.
“Bo Yuan, My ma said....” Ye Qing Xin purses her lips, “she wants to meet you.”
“Em, arrange the time, I am free anytime.”
Ye Qing Xin: “I want to wait until your leg is well.”
“Why?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I don’t want my Ma to see her son-in-law with a lame leg.”
Jing Bo Yuan says: “okay, I follow you.”
She hangs up and rubs her hot face. She smiles bashfully.
When she arrives at the front of the sickroom.
Ye Qing Xin is startled. But she regains her control, she greets him: “Jiu Jiu (Uncle), you are here.”
