Hearing Connie’s words makes Ye Qing Xin’s heart feels unconfident.
Connie smiles and takes out her iPad from her bag. She opens and types something then she passes it to Ye Qing Xin. “What do you think about this design’s color, is there should be any change?”
Ye Qing Xin looks at it. It’s a design of long dress female overcoat. Its design is unique. No matter whether the model or the element, it is all perfect. Ye Qing Xin sincerely appreciates it.
“What about it?” Connie asks.
“It’s very perfect.”
Connie shakes her head: “In this world, there is nothing perfect. Tell me, if you need to fix its color, what will you do?”
Ye Qing Xin wants to say something, then Connie just cuts her off: “Just based on your feeling, think out of the box of the theme, style or brand. Tell me.”
Ye Qing Xin closes her lips and thinks about it. Based on her intuition, she speaks out about her thought.
Connie is pleasantly surprised about it. “I indeed don’t look for wrong people. I’ve been designer for a long time, I have formed my own personal style an pattern. Sometimes it’s hard to jump out of my boundary, so do I have an honor to let you join us? You can start as assistant designer.”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t think that missing chance for getting into Ji Yan, yet she can get chance to get into Pear company.
She suddenly feels the bright in a darkness.
“Be granted of kindness”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t evade again.
She just bids goodbye with Connie. Ye Qing Xin just stands on the curb. The weather is hot, but her heart is happy.
“Congrats.” Someone says.
Ye Qing Xin turns her head back and looks at Xiao Lian. She is wearing dark green dress.
“Thank you.” Ye Qing Xin says politely.
Xiao Lian raises her watch and says: “It’s not early anymore. What about if we have lunch together.”
Ye Qing Xin says: “Recently my appetite is not good, I cannot eat outside. I’m sorry.”
Xiao Lian watches her and smiles: “I hear that you and Bo Yuan will get married soon. Let me congratulate you again. Look at you. I I always can remember the time I was with Bo Yuan. That time I was at your age. Not right, the time I was with Jing Bo Yuan, I was younger than you.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles but her grip on her handbag tighten.
Xiao Lian continues: “Bo Yuan doesn’t tell you? We grew up together, we were seat-mate since kindergarten until the university. With our fate, a lot of people said that we were destined for each other. It’s a pity that we finally go our separate way.”
“The destiny, it’s not precise. One day you can be close and the other day you may be stranger. What do you think?”
Her words have profound meaning.
She continues without waiting for Ye Qing Xin’s response: “Since you cannot eat outside, then don’t let me keep you. You should go home and have lunch. Goodbye.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Goodbye.”
On the way home, Ye Qing Xin sits on the backseat and daydreams.
She replays Xiao Lian’s words: “We grew up together.......”
Childhood sweethearts.
Ye Qing Xin thinks that what did Jing Bo Yuan look like when he was in kindergarten? He shouldn’t be this serious, don’t know whether he was crybaby? What about the time he was teenager? His appearance when he was wearing uniform? Would he be attracted to another woman? Would he smile to them as gently as he smiles to her?
That time she wasn’t even born.
The time Jing Bo Yuan and Xiao Lian were together, she should still wearing Onesie.........
Her phone suddenly rings and breaks her imagination.
It’s Song Jiu.
She answers. She doesn’t even have chance to say ‘hi’ and Song Jiu just says: “Xin Xin, you will get married!”
Jing Bo Yuan is there, it’s Ye Qing Xin’s first response.
“Em.”
“You are not loyal to me . If not My Ma let me go to your house, I wouldn’t know it! Auntie also could contain the secret. She didn’t say anything.” She continues, “The big boss’ caravan is too big and luxurious. I took a peek at it it simply so great!”
Ye Qing Xin: “........ I planned to tell you the time I know about the wedding date.”
“When will it be? Where it’ll be held? Is it in Jing City or abroad?”
Ye Qing Xin replies: “6th October at Jing City.”
“It’s just in time on the long holiday for National day. That time I will take my Pa and Ma over there to play several days. Can you include the food and accommodation?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “of course.”
She says it then the car stops at her apartment lobby.
Ye Qing Xin gets off the car. Song Jiu continues: “This time why didn’t you come home too? It’s been a long time since I saw you last time. I miss you.”
Ye Qing Xin replies: “Recently I am unwell so I cannot go home.”
Auntie Zhang greets her when she goes inside the apartment. “Mrs, the lunch is ready. Go wash your hand and eat.”
Song Jiu hears it and ridicules: “She called you Mrs? Then I will not disturb you eating, Mrs Jing.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Em, bye bye.”
She puts away her phone and changes into her slippers. She walks inside the living room. Old Madame Jing comes out from the restroom and looks Ye Qing Xin with her bright eyes: “Xin Xin you are home. Come here let me see my great grandson whether he is mischievous or not.....”
Ye Qing Xin greets her: “Nai Nai.”
Old Madame Jing strokes her belly with fondness. She smiles and says: “Hurry up wash your hand. Today Nai Nai personally cooks for you.”
In the middle of eating, Ye Qing Xin cannot endure it anymore, she just runs to the restroom and throws up all the foods that she ate.
Old Madame Jing feels sorry for her, but she cannot do anything.
Ye Qing Xin comes back and forces herself to eat a bit more. She then puts down her chopsticks.
Old Madame Jing: “You go and have an afternoon nap for a while. Then the designer of wedding dress will come over to measure your size.”
Ye Qing Xin is quite nervous when she heard “wedding dress”.
“Nai Nai, you also have a n pa.”
At 2 p.m. the designer comes over and measures her size.
Ye Qing Xin notices their uniforms, she recognizes the logos. It’s the first-class international fashion brand. She has seen a lot of their designs on the wedding magazine. It costs around ten millions.
When they are done, Old Madame Jing just comes closer to her and shows her a book of wedding dress design: “Xin Xin, look at this. Which style do you like? Pick one and tell me so I can let them to start to design it. They will send it over before the wedding.”
She says a book, but actually it’s just ten pages, ten styles of wedding dress.
“This is .......”
“It seems from a French wedding dress designer, I also don’t remember her name. It’s too hard to pronounce. It’s all your San Shen (Third Auntie) who handles this. Hurry take a look, which one do yo like?”
Ye Qing Xin looks at it and chooses the simplest and tasteful one.
Old Madame Jing accompanies her for a while then let her to rest. She leaves with the book.
Ye Qing Xin sends her down and watches her get on the car.
The time she goes upstairs, she feels her belly is hurt. It’s just for short period.
She doesn’t think anything is wrong so she doesn’t really think too much of it.
She comes out from elevator and looks Dou Weir is standing in front of the door. She is sneaking.
“What are you doing?” Ye Qing Xin comes over.
Dou Weir is shocked and turns her body. She feels awkward: “Nothing, I suddenly want to know whether you meet Connie or not. At first I wanted to accompany you. But I forgot about it, I just remember it.... have you meet her?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Waiting for you, the food will be cold.”
Dou Weir laugh.
Ye Qing Xin looks at her: “You and He Ji Fan, you guys...”
“I have nothing to do with him!” Dou Weir denies it quickly.
“You guys spent night together. A single man and a single woman. Do you think that I am three years old kid?” Ye Qing Xin glances at her.
Dou Weir blushes and said stubbornly: “Even though we have physical interaction, but it’s not feeling. I am an adult. I also have needs okay?”
Ye Qing Xin: “.......”
She separates from Dou Weir. Ye Qing Xin goes back to her bedroom. She takes out her laptop from the drawer and plugs in Connie’s USB. She opens the file, there’s around fifty sketches.
She recalls her conversation with Connie this afternoon.
Connie unexpectedly directly asks her to go home and change the color of the design. She couldn’t believe it.
“You unexpectedly have that much confidence in me? You don’t feel afraid that I’ll leak out these designs?”
Connie smiles: “I have confidence in Chief Jing’s judgement. I think his fiancee, will not lacking.”
Ye Qing Xin cannot deny that Connie is a great leader. She always a courageous person. She can judge people well.
Ye Qing Xin is thankful for her confidence and trust.
Ye Qing Xin takes a deep breath and starts to work.
At this time.
T city.
Ye Qing Xin’s house is outside a lane. The luxury caravan has attracted a lot of people.
There’s no one in the city has this kind of car so a lot of people are curious because of it.
Most of Zhou Qiao Qiao’s neighbors knows about what happened ten years ago.
Someone jokes: “Is she being kicked out?”
“No, a group of people come over to see her.”
“What?”
“Two men and a woman. They look powerful. Especially the youngest one, he should be around thirty years. He just looked at me and destroyed my courage. I was so scared that I ran away...”
“Who are they?”
When all the neighbors are still talking. The door of Ye house is opened. Four people come out and get on the car. Indeed the neighbors notice the youngest one with the deep and scary gaze.
“How is it? I don’t lie right? That man is too scary.”
At night.
At the largest hotel in T City. Jing family holds a banquet. They invite Zhou Qiao Qiao and Song Jiu’s family.
Zhou Qiao Qiao are the only child of her family. Their parents are dead, they also don’t have any siblings. Especially after she divorced Ye Jun Dong, Zhou Qiao Qiao was sick, so her relatives broke off relationship with her.
Except Song Jiu’s family.
Song Fu (Father Song) and Song Mu (Mother Song) feel awkward, they feel that the other family is in imposing manner. They couldn’t relaxed or act natural.
Song Fu drinks a lot of alcohol and finally he turns relaxed. His face is red and he starts to talk a lot.
“I watch Xin Xin grow up. She is a good kid, obedient, sensible, she also studies well. It’s a pity that her Papa is a bad thing. He just abandoned them... SS!...”
Song Mu hears it and pinches Song Fu’s waist ruthlessly: “I’m sorry. He is drunk. He didn’t know what he said.”
“How can I not know it? Xin Xin had a bitter life. Her Mama’s health is bad, Xiao Guo...... SS....... Song Fu feels the pain: “Why are you pinching me?”
“Stop talking!” Song Mu pinches him again even more ruthless.
He Su E frowns a bit and asks: “I heard that Xin Xin has a Di Di (little brother), why isn’t he coming?”
Zhou Qiao Qiao coughs several times and smiles: “He is at school.”
He Su E doesn’t ask again.
After the dinner ends, Song Fu wants to go to pee. He just runs outside without saying anything.
Song Mu smiles awkwardly: “He is drunk. Please don’t blame him.”
Tai Shi Shi doesn’t expect that she can see Jing Bo Yuan at T City.
Today is her Wai Po (Mother’s mother)’s seventy five years birthday. Tai Zheng Ting reserved two tables to invite relatives to celebrate it.
She comes out of the restroom. When she wants to go back, she sees Jby.
That man is wearing a deep grey shirt. He looks so handsome and magnificent.
Even she loves Chen Shu An, but she should admit that Ye Qing Xin has a great taste. She can choose a great man.
She also meets Song Fu that is coming out from the restroom.
She smiles and greets him: “Song Shu Shu (Uncle Song).”
Tai Shi Shi looks like a pretty daughter from a humble family. Song Fu also knows her, he has a good impression of her. “You are Tai Family’s little girl right? When did you come back?”
Tai Shi Shi smiles sweetly: “Today is my Lao Lao (Mother’s mother)’s birthday. Why are you here?”
“Xin Xin’s boyfriend comes over to propose a marriage. Xin Xin doesn’t have a lot of family so we come over to make it happen. I will not talk any further. I need to go back. They are waiting for me.” Song Fu starts to walk away.
Propose a marriage?
Tai Shi Shi follows him: “Song Shu Shu, Xin Xin will get married?”
“Exactly, they even have decided on the date, 6th October...”
Tai Shi Shi stops walking and looks at Song Fu, who is getting inside the room.
6th October, marriage.
Ye Qing Xin is really flying high.
At night 8.00 p.m.
On the way back to the hotel, Tai Shi Shi mentions about what Song Fu told her to Tai Zheng Ting.
Tai Zheng Ting smokes and thinks about something.
8:30 p.m.
Jing Bo Yuan sends Zhou Qiao Qiao home and watches her gets into her house safely.
Then he turns his body of leave.
After he leaves, the car stops in front of the house.
Zhou Qiao Qiao is getting ready to have a shower. Then her door is knocked.
The maid is not asleep so she opens the door.
The maid is employed by Ye Qing Xin through Song Jiu’s help. The maid is kind and diligent.
She notices a stranger man outside. She turns alerted: “You are?”
Tai Zheng Ting: “I’m looking for Zhou Qiao Qiao.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao hears it and is startled: “Why are you here?”
“I have problem.” Tai Zheng Ting gets inside the house.
Zhou Qiao Qiao says to the maid: “Sun Jie (Sister Sun), go bck to your room. This is my Da Ge (Big Bro), we will talk.”
The maid just returns to her room.
“What happened? why are you coming here this late?” They go to the dining room and Zhou Qiao Qiao pours him a glass of water.
“Qiao Qiao, I will not hide from you. I have problem with my company. I am afraid my company cannot survive this.” Tai Zheng Ting says with sorrowful tone.
Zhou Qiao Qiao frowns: “Is Bo Yuan making things harder for you? I already explained to him about it. He also said that he would not make things hard for you...”
“Not him. It’s my own problem. I have shortage of investment and cash....”
“Then what should you do?” She felt qualm about him in the past. Then because of his care toward her, she feels thankful. Although she just know that her son is the result of his bad action toward her. She hated him but she accepts this fact.
She will be dead soon, she doesn’t want to hold any grudge. The one that she cannot let go in this life is only her son. She doesn’t want Tai Zheng Ting becomes bankrupt not only because of his helps but also because of her son.
There is nothing certain in this world. If in the future Ye Qing Xin cannot take care of her son, Jing Bo Yuan also cannot. She hopes that another person can help her to take care of her son.
Tai Zheng Ting drinks the water.
“I heard that Jing Bo Yuan comes here to propose marriage. He should send the betrothal gifts right.” He looks at her: “Jing Family is rich, they should give grand betrothal gifts right?”
Tai Zheng Ting adds: “Don’t worry, wait until my company is well, then I will return it all to you.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao feels difficult.
“Qiao Qiao, I helped you a lot, can’t you just watch and not help me?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but....”
“What?”
“Jing Bo Yuan’s betrothal gift is not money, it’s share.”
Tai Zheng Ting: “Bo Wei company’s share? How much?”
Zhou Qiao Qiao: “Ten percent.”
Tai Zheng Ting is happy to hear it.
