“You make A Yuan to be an unfilial grandson. If Old Madame just passes away like this, do you think you can spend your days peacefully with A Yuan if you marry him? do you think you will not feel guilty for the rest of your life?”
He Su E’s words sound like a curse in Ye Qing Xin’s ear.
She gets off from He Su E’s car and walks back to the hospital. Everyone is walking pass her, she could see their worry eyes.
Love and emotional attachment toward family, two of them make a hard choice.
The sky is cloudy and cold. Ye Qing Xin sits down on the bench at the little garden. After a while, it starts snow again.
Ye Qing Xin raises her hand up and let her hand feel the snow.
“Xin Xin, why are you sitting down here?” A familiar male voice comes into her ear.
Ye Qing Xin is still wearing her down jacket and hat.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her. In his eyes, her face is so beautiful.
When she recognizes him, Ye Qing Xin smiles: “You are back? Are you done with your work?”
Jing Bo Yuan pulls her up: “You have something in your mind?”
Ye Qing Xin comes over and hugs his waist. She buries her face on his chest: “Em, I have something in my mind.” She continues: “I miss you.”
Hearing this makes him laugh lightly. He undoes the buttons of his coat and pulls her little body to his embrace. He wipes away the snow on her head and says gently: “Can’t you miss me in somewhere else, why are you missing me outside in this windy place, aren’t you cold?”
She hugs him tightly.
Jing Bo Yuan says gently: “Let’s go back.”
Both of them are going inside with each other embrace.
Wen Ze Yan wants to go to buy dinner for Lu Jie, yet he accidentally sees this moment. He is startled, but he comes over to greet Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan. But when she greets Jing Bo Yuan, he is somewhat afraid to see that man’s fierce eyes.
Last time when he met with him at Zhou Qiao Qiao’s funeral, that man’s words make him feel petty and low. It let him unhappy.
Jing Bo Yuan nods at him then holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand to go back to Old Madame Jing’s VIP sickroom.
Wen Ze Yan also returns to Lu Jie’s single patient sickroom after lunch. He watches the woman, who is changing. Lu Jie is skinnier and paler than before. He cannot describe his current feeling. He then remembers the beautiful and clever woman. He is lost in his thought.
“Ze Yan.” Lu Jie calls him.
Wen Ze Yan just regains himself. “Em, what is it?”
Lu Jie picks up her chopsticks and plays with her food inside the bowl. “Did you meet Ye Qing Xin?”
Wen Ze Yan is surprised. Though he doesn’t know how can she know about it, but he doesn’t deny.
“You went out this afternoon, and just lost in your thought when you were back. Tonight you also went out, then lost in your thought when you are back. In this world, except one Ye Qing Xin, no one can make you to be like that.” Lu Jie’s tone is calm: “You and I have been married for three years but you never be sincere toward me.”
Wen Ze Yan cannot say anything.
Lu Jie says once again: “The doctor said that at most I can only live for three months. Ze Yan, I don’t have any more request. I just hope in the future you will marry another woman and have another children, but you will also treat our Kai Kai well.”
Wen Ze Yan is young, he is a twenty five years old man. It’s unavoidable for him to marry and have kids again.
During three years marriage, she never enjoys any sincere love from his husband, her love and perseverance is gone. Now the one that she cannot let go is only her son. Her son might not have a mother.
It’s a silence. Wen Ze Yan says: “Kai Kai is my son, of course I’ll treat him well.”
Lu Jie cries.
She really wants to ask him: “You will treat him well, then will you marry again in the future?”
But at last she doesn’t ask him that question.
Something that you get using any tricks, at last you will lose it. For doing something, you will need to repay it.
That night.
He Su E gets a call from a cemetery that informs her that Su Mu Cheng’s tomb is broke by someone.
She faces the heavy snow and rushes over.
In a dark night and only dim light, Su Mu Cheng’s tomb is smashed to pieces by someone. The tomb’s door is opened and cinerary casket is on the ground. It is all in a mess.
“Ah!” He Su E screams. She runs over and takes the cinerary casket, she holds it. Her heart is in pain, she feels like someone stabs her heart.
Forty years has passed, she doesn’t love this man like she used before but this man is the man that she loved persistently for twenty years. He is dead and treated this way, how can she not feel sorry for him.
“Who is it? Ah? Who is it?” She screams at the guard.
The guard is an old grandpa. He looks terrified: “Thirty minutes ago suddenly three strong man with hammer rushed inside the cemetery. I, I, I,.... that time I was so afraid that I didn’t come out, but I reported to the police.... but the police hasn’t came yet....”
He Su E is startled for a while. Her fingers are trembling. She takes out her phone and dials a number.
“What is it?”
“It’s you! You are the one that hired people to break his tomb right?”
“Em.”
“Why are you doing this? He already dead. How can you not let him go? What do you want?”
“The first time you looked for Xin Xin, I said to you that there’s no second time, but you don’t listen to me.”
“Jing Bo Yuan! How can you do this to a dead person? Are you a human?”
He laughs lightly: “I’m a person or not, I think you understand it the most.” He continues: “If there’s a third time, I will let his bone turns into ash.”
“Ah–!” He Su E holds the cinerary casket under the heavy snow. She is losing control of her emotion. She starts wailing.
The heavy snows continues for two days two night, until the three days after that Jing City turns into a white.
Ye Qing Xin still has ten days for the competition that is hold by No company. This time the competition provides a rich and generous rewards. Not only it has a great incentive award but it also gives a chance to study in famous school for a year.
“Xin Xin, you definitely will win this one.” Si Ming Jing looks at the model that wears her clothes. She exclaims with admiration.
She has been in this industry for many years, it’s the first time she has urge to try clothes on.
This time the competition is not depend on the voting from the audiences or the judges but depends on the sales volume.
Ye Qing Xin is also happy to see her design.
Since she was young, she likes drawing and sketching so much. After her college entrance examination, Tai Zheng Ting recognized her talent and was happy to let enter art department so she can enter B university art department.
“Thank you Jing Jie. It’s all because of your help. You make my design to perfect reality.” Ye Qing Xin says sincerely.
Si Ming Jing smiles: “Without your sketch, I cannot think of this.”
They both chats for a while then Ye Qing Xin returns to her own table, she continues to finish the work that Han Huo Huo gave to her.
At five p.m., she gets off work with everyone else.
She doesn’t ask Driver Lu to pick her up, she plans to take taxi to go to the hospital.
Possibly because she feels guilty, everyday she will go to hospital to visit Old Madame Jing, if not she feel something is missing.
The weather is so cold. Ye Qing Xin wears her heat and scarf. She just leaves out her two eyes from the scarf and hat. She takes the taxi and suddenly feels a bit hungry.
Actually she isn’t someone that loves to eat. She doesn’t eat a lot. But recently without her knowing, her appetite turns good, she frequently feels hungry.
The car passes the market. She gets off the car and wants to buy something to eat.
At the market, there’s a truck unloading its cargo. Ye Qing Xin passes by it from the side. Then suddenly there’s a big box falling down. It seems to hit someone. Ye Qing Xin hears a scream of pain.
She doesn’t care about it and wants to walk away. She turns her head unconsciously and is startled when she finds out that the one that is hurt is Tai Zheng Ting. Tai Zheng Ting, a fifty years old man, is moving a cargo and one of his leg is held down by a box. A twenty years old man comes over and scolds him: “Can you do this work? If you cannot do it, then just go away! Boss spends money not to hire a master. You are slow. I can endure that you are slow, but how can you not be careful? If this is broken, who will take responsibility?”
Tai Zheng Ting’s face is red. She doesn’t know whether it is because he is in pain or because he is embarrassed.
Then he notices someone is watching him, he turns her head and sees YQx.
Ye Qing Xin looks at his dirty face. She doesn’t know why but she suddenly recalls ten years ago beside her mother’s sickbed. Tai Zheng Ting had ever acted like a father to her, he said to her: “Jiu Jiu in the future will take care of you guys”. He acted like a father that she can depend on. Four years ago, he said to her: “Xin Xin you like to draw then just learns it. Jiu Jiu has money.”
At a noodle restaurant beside the market.
Ye Qing Xin orders a bowl of beef noodle for Tai Zheng Ting. She watches at how he is eating like a wolf and tiger. He looks really miserable and old.
After he is done with the noodle, he wipes his mouth and takes out his cigarette and lighter with his trembling hands. He smokes it. Suddenly he just laughs at himself.
Ye Qing Xin notices his trembling hands and also scars on his hand. He seems to have a hard life.
She also notices that one of his leg is lame.
Dou Weir told her previously that three months ago Tai Zheng Ting jumped off a building to commit suicide but it failed. He just broke her leg.
Ye Qing Xin cannot describe her feeling now. Tai Zheng Ting had a bad intention toward her in the past. He had tried to give her to a old man. She hates him. But ten years ago, indeed he treated her well if not she would not be able to attend university. She doesn’t know how can it turn out like this.
“You should be happy right to see me like this.” Tai Zheng Ting says: “My company is bankrupt, Li Shu Fen divorces me, Shi Yun doesn’t regard me as her father again. Shi Shi is in the hospital, everyday I should spend huge sum of money for her. I wanted to die, but I just broke my leg and live. Now I even cannot do my work well, I cannot eat well, that my so-called friend hit me when I’m down. They said, “It’s a karma.”
Ye Qing Xin is silent.
Tai Zheng Ting continues: “Did you remember the accident which Xiao Guo harmed Li Liang’s little son?”
Ye Qing Xin is startled. Of course she remembers it. Xiao Guo pushed Li Liang’s son. Li family forced her to compensate them with fifty million.....
She looks at Tai Zheng Ting, actually that matter is very unreasonable.
“Actually that time Li family wanted to kill Xiao Guo to avenge their little son. I gave him money and let him to help me to force you to submit.” Tai Zheng Ting laughs and says: “I didn’t expect that Jing Bo Yuan would appear and help, he even could make the perfect Li family to extinct.”
“You think that these years I helped your family because I had kindness in my heart? Heng! That year Zhou Qiao Qiao broke our marriage, she made me lost my face. I came forward to help you just want to get back my face. I wanted to tell everyone that I am someone that is worthy than Ye Jun Dong. I like you, except because you are beautiful, the most important that you are Ye Jun Dong’s daughter, although you are not really his, but if I can get you, someday I can show you off in front of him and could make him angry. Haha....”
Ye Qing Xin is still be quiet.
“Also my idiot son, thank you that you help me to bear this trouble.”
After a long time.
Ye Qing Xin laughs: “Though you helped our family because you had another ulterior motive, but I cannot deny that because your insincere help, I have chance to attend university. Also if in the beginning you didn’t bring me to that business meeting, I would not know Jing Bo Yuan. Also you didn’t give Li family money, Xiao Guo wouldn’t be saved.”
Tai Zheng Ting is shocked.
Ye Qing Xin stands up and takes out her wallet. She takes out pile of money and says: “This meal is my last repayment for your kindness. Starting today, we are even.”
Tai Zheng Ting stays there and smokes for a while. The time he is about to leave, the waiter comes over and starts to tidy up. He notices an envelope on the table. He calls after Tai Zheng Ting. “Is this yours?”
Tai Zheng Ting takes it and opens it. He suddenly turns startled.
That is a five million cheque, he knows that writing clearly. He recalls the time Ye Qing Xin was ten years old, she won an award. He went home to T city and that little girl just came over him and showed him her composition of student essay. He still remembers her first sentence “My Shu Shu is like my Papa.”
His eyes turn teary. Tai Zheng Ting thinks how can he is fit to be her Papa.
Ye Qing Xin comes out of the noodle store and just realizes she should buy one portion for her. The time she is thinking about it, her phone rings.
It’s Jing Bo Yuan’s call. He asks whether she is not back at school.
Ye Qing Xin says: “I’m eating outside. I’ll go to hospital to see Nai Nai after this, then I will return to the school.”
Jing Bo Yuan: “Why didn’t you ask Driver Lu to pick you up.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “It’s easy to take taxi, I also feel unnatural if Driver Lu follows me.”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t continue to discuss about this. He reminds her to be careful.
Ye Qing Xin: “em.” She says: “Don’t drink beer, just let someone to keep it off.”
Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “I get it.”
The call ends.
Ye Qing Xin suddenly wants to eat porridge. She looks for the nearest porridge stall. She eats two portions of prawn dumplings and two bowls of porridge. She still feels a bit hungry so she takes away two portions of shumai (Steamed dumpling). She eats it and takes taxi to the hospital.
