The next day.
Jing Bo Yuan wakes up exactly at five o’clock in the morning. He let go the sleeping girl. Then he changes clothes.
This time, Auntie Zhang is preparing in the kitchen.
Jing Bo Yuan runs around the mansion for thirty minutes and goes to the gym in the mansion for half an hour. Then he goes back to his room and takes shower. The time he finishes, Ye Qing Xin is still sleeping soundly. Her peaceful and beautiful voice is so likable, it let people find it hard to control the urge to kiss.
Jing Bo Yuan comes over and kisses her forehead softly. Ye Qing Xin notices and moves a bit. She whimpers like a little cat. She turns her body and continues her sleep.
He smiles for a while and helps to cover her exposed leg and arm. Looking at her face makes him kisses her once again.
Don’t know why, he always feels it’s enough no matter how much he kisses her.
Before he leaves he wants to wear watch, he is about to take his usual watch. Then he suddenly remembers: “Bo Yuan, the watch that I gave to you, you don’t like it?”
He smiles and takes the other one.
Very quickly, he goes downstairs and leaves.
Six thirty, Ye Qing Xin is awake.
She gets up and freshens herself. Her lower body is feeling uncomfortable but it’s much more better.
She changes her clothes. The time she is about to go out from the cloakroom, she looks that Jing Bo Yuan’s usual watch is there, the one that she gave him is gone.
She is startled and smiles.
During the breakfast.
The busy Auntie Zhang suddenly says to herself: “How can one bowl is missing? Last night the time I went home, it’s there.....”
The things in Jing Bo Yuan’s mansion are fine and expensive. He has Jing De Zhen porcelain dinner set, several thousand Yuan ebony chopsticks.
Auntie Zhang is scared that she loses one, Mr Jing will cut off her half-month salary.
Ye Qing Xin hears her and be surprised. Could that bowl be so expensive?
“Last night..... I carelessly broke one, is it expensive?”
Auntie Zhang is startled: “Did Mr Jing know about it?”
Ye Qing Xin nods: “Yes.”
Auntie Zhang releases her breath. Then it is unrelated to her.
Suddenly she remembered that two months ago, Mr Jing also broke another bowl: “The one that you broke it’s not really expensive. Two months ago, Mr Jing broke one, it’s really expensive one. It’s more than fifty million. Oh my god. It’s the ancient one that Mr Jing won from the auction. Everyone always keeps antique thing safely and cautiously, but our Mr Jing just use it as another bowl......”
“Everyday I always be cautious. I’m terrified that one day I will carelessly will give me a disaster. In the end one day, can you guess? One morning the time I opened the cupboard, it’s gone. I was so shocked. So I just went to confess, how can I compensate him? Then I called him, Mr Jing was indifferent, “That broken bowl, don’t mention it again in the future.”
Auntie Zhang sighs: “Rich people rich people. He just lost five million but he didn’t feel anything. If it’s me, I’ll cry.”
Ye Qing Xin is surprised.
She broke a bowl here too.
“Aun, Auntie Zhang, do you remember the bowl.... the ancient one, specifically when was it?”
Auntie Zhang thinks about it and says: “It seems..... the time you just came here to work part-time, I didn’t remember the specific date.”
Ye Qing Xin purses her lips.
Auntie Zhang looks at her strange face and asks: “What is it?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles, “The ancient bowl that you said...... it seems....... also, it’s also broke by me.......”
Auntie Zhang: “........”
Ye Qing Xin suddenly remembers the painting in Hong Kong mansion. She feel Jing Bo Yuan treats worldly possession unlike other people. Most people will keep the expensive and antique things safely, they wouldn’t want other to pry about it. But Jing Bo Yuan is only caring about the usefulness of it.
Ay.
Ye Qing Xin sighs with emotion.
She also recalls the moment when she was not close to Jing Bo Yuan and she broke his antique, but he unexpectedly didn’t say anything and just let it go.
This man, is he always be so lenient or...... it’s just only with her?
“Are you done? I’ll serve you one more.” Auntie Zhang notices her empty bowl and wants to serve her another bowl: “This porridge recipe is from Old Madame. She said that this is good for women and also delicious. Ms Ye, drink more. You should maintain your health well. Then in the future you can give birth for Mr Jing several fat babies......”
Ye Qing Xin: “..... when did Nai Nai teach you?”
“Last time the time Old Madame and Old Mister came over to have lunch. After lunch, Old Madame called me over? She taught me how to cook this.”
Ye Qing Xin: “....” Old Madame is really a good planner.
She returns to go to class.
The time she goes to the class. She notices there’re only few people in the classroom. She finds a seat then after a while, Jing Suo Suo comes over and immediately asks questions to her.
Ye Qing Xin patiently answers her questions. She teases her: “In the past I never noticed that our Jing Suo Suo could be so serious. Look at the dark circle below your eyes, did you study until late night?”
Jing Suo Suo reads her book, “Of course, if I am serious, the status of school top achiever wouldn’t be you and Weir.... oh right, what happened to Weir? She doesn’t stay at the dorm. She also doesn’t go to class. She doesn’t answer my call, how is she? Is she okay?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles naturally: “Just read your books. It’ll be end of semester examination soon. This is the key for you to get your Lamborghini.”
Jing Suo Suo lowers her head hurriedly and continues her study.
Then after a while, she looks at ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, you are my Da Ge’s girlfriend. According to my Nai Nai’s personality, I’m afraid after graduation, you’ll be forced to marry into Jing family. That time my Da Ge’s money will be yours. Now Da Ge wants to buy me a expensive car, will you be unhappy?”
Ye Qing Xin is startled: “What is the relation with me?”
Jing Suo Suo: “Most Sao Zi (Sister-in-law) will not like their husband to be too kind to his Gu Zi (Husband’s cousin)? They will not like their husband to spend too much money. The drama always shows it that way.”
“......” Ye Qing Xin: “That is drama, not a reality. Moreover, even if in the future I...... that is his, it will be his. It’s his freedom to use it as he wants. I don’t want to control him.”
Moreover, Ye Qing Xin thinks that she cannot control him. He is too powerful.
She thinks about it and feels a bit upset. Will she be controlled tightly by him?”
“Oh right, Xin Xin. After the exam, let’s go to look for party dress okay?” Jing Suo Suo speaks up.
Ye Qing Xin just regains herself from her mind: “What kind of party dress?”
“This Sunday will be Nai Nai’s birthday party. Da Ge hasn’t told you about it? Nai Nai already mentioned your name, she invited you to come.”
Ye Qing Xin is startled and smiles: “Maybe he forgets about it.”
“Now you know it. Then let’s go together after the exam. This year grandma turns eighty years old. Da Bo (Eldest uncle; Jing Bo Yuan’s father) and My Pa want to hold a grand party. Even my Er Shu (Second uncle) that rarely comes home, will come too.”
“Talking about my Er Shu, Ay...... I, the younger one, am also worried about him. He is fifty years old man. Not to mention he doesn’t have a kid, he doesn’t even have wife. Can you imagine it? Our Jing family unexpectedly has a bachelor. If I don’t hear from my Da Jie (big sister) that Er Shu likes a prostitute when he was young. I will suspect him to have venereal disease.”
In Jing Suo Suo’s mind, Ye Qing Xin has became her relatives so she is worry-free to share family personal information.
Ye Qing Xin thinks about something and asks: “Prostitute?”
“Yes, I heard that woman was working as a hostess in a karaoke. I don’t know how they can know each other. It should be a first-sight love, he brought her home. That time my Nai Nai directly instructed the maid to drag her out. Er Shu was furious and fought Nai Nai. He moved out to live together with that woman. I don’t know clearly what happened. That woman seemed to be with another man and followed that man to return to his hometown. Er Shu is depressed and then he doesn’t marry.”
Jing Suo Suo sighs: “Er Shu is also a man with infatuation.” She continues: “Our Jing family’s men are very easily be infatuated. Grandpa, Da Bo, Er Shu, My Pa with My Ma are also like that. I sometimes cannot endure to watch them. Xin Xin, you need to treasure my Da Ge.”
Ye Qing Xin asks casually: “Your Da Bo..... is good to your Da Bo Mu?”
“My Da Bo Mu was abroad for fourteen years, My Da Bo waited for her for fourteen years. He never looks for another woman. Tell me what do you think? Is he good one?”
“Be abroad for fourteen years? Why?”
“I don’t know about it clearly. The time she went abroad I was just six years old. I remember that she was in a big fight with Da Bo. She wanted a divorce, but my Da Bo didn’t agree with her. You also know that my Da Bo works as central authorities. He has power. He doesn’t want to get divorce so he uses to stop Da Bo Mu. Then one day Da Bo Mu fell down from the stairs and bled a lot. I remember that for few days I was having a bad dream. The time she was discharged, she directly went abroad. She just came home recently.”
Ye Qing Xin understands now that Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t have a good relationship with his mother perhaps it’s related to what happened fourteen years ago. Perhaps it’s related to her request for divorce.
“Then Jing Bo Yuan’s relation with your Da Bo Mu, are they in good relation?”
Jing Suo Suo says: “No matter how, Da Bo Mu was abroad for fourteen years, I think they are not close.
Ye Qing Xin watches Jing Suo Suo’s expression closely. She notices that Jing Suo Suo doesn’t hide anything from her. Ye Qing Xin just nods and doesn’t say anything.
She recalls the moment in the French restaurant. For her, their relationship can be summarized as hostility.
After the class ends, Ye Qing Xin answers a call from Jing Bo Yuan. He tells her to eat on time. He has a business meeting during lunch.”
Ye Qing Xin pouts. She is not a little kid. How can she not know that if she is hungry, she should eat? But she doesn’t tell him that, she just replies: “Em, I get it.”
Before she hangs up, she says considerately: “In the afternoon, don’t drink too much. It’s bad for your health. Eat more food.”
Jing Bo Yuan laughs lightly.
He hangs up and then calls Dou Weir. She asks Dou Weir if she wants to eat something for lunch.
Dou Weir: “No need, Ji Fan already ordered food for me from a restaurant. Three times a day, they will send the food on time.”
“Weir....”
“If you have something to say, just say it.”
Dou Weir laughs.
“In the past didn’t you hate He Ji Fan? Now how can you suddenly...” Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say it clearly but Dou Weir understands her.
Dou Weir is silent for a while and says: “Xin Xin, that time I’m very terrified and desperate. I thought I would die. This society is evolving in the law of the jungle. I want to look for someone that I can depend on.”
Ye Qing Xin: “but, He Ji Fan, can you depend on him?”
“Not really.” Dou Weir says: “but, Shi Ying tricked me, isn’t it because of him?”
“So you want to use this to retaliate? But you will suffer a loss, Weir....”
Dou Weir laughs: “I lose a kid. In the future, I might not conceive a kid again in the future. Xin Xin, what loss can I suffer?”
“......” that time, Ye Qing Xin is completely speechless.
