He Su E laughs coldly and says: “Da Sao (eldest brother’s wife), you have face to talk about others. You married Da Ge when you were seventeen years old. You gave birth to A Quan when you were eighteen years old. Who can be more open-minded than you.”
The eldest daughter-in-law of He family is Xia Chan.
“What do you mean?” Xia Chan’s face changes. This is her flaw for a lifetime.
He Su E looks at her sour face and suddenly laughs for a while. She says: “I am just saying it casually, look at you, you are so serious.”
She is using Xia Chan’s words to stop Xia Chan’s mouth.
Xiao Chan’s face turns green, but she cannot explode in this situation.
Ye Qing Xin knows that He Su E is protecting her. She is thankful for her cold Po Po (mother-in-law). He Su E just looks coldly at her.
“In the past I didn’t see it that Da Bo Mu (eldest auntie) can protect her own too.” Jing Suo Suo sighs.
Ye Qing Xin smiles and looks at Jing Bo Yuan. Jing Bo Yuan is watching her.
She smiles at her.
“I remember that Pear studio is very famous domestically. Every years they will hold a fashion show in Milan. A Yuan’s wife hasn’t graduated but she can enter Pear. She has abilities and skills. Maybe in several years to come, we as elders can ask her to design clothes. A lot of people will queue up for her clothes.”
These words are said by a female elder of Cheng family.
Ye Qing Xin feels somewhat awkward but this time Song Xian Yu smiles and says: “Ma, you are not wrong. Don’t look down at our Xin Xin. Xin Xin is just twenty one years old. Moreover she depends on her own self to step by step go up. She doesn’t depend on anyone else.
After hearing both mother’s and daughter’s words, someone speaks: “I remember that a fashion magazine used to say that Pear is the east brand of Chanel. It’s no different to enter Chanel to enter Pear. She is really good.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles. She looks at Song Xian Yu’s mother with thankful gaze.
No matter whether it is sincere or not, but it can melt down the stiffness of the atmosphere.
They keep on chatting until they chat about Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan’s wedding.
Song Xian Yu asks Ye Qing xin: “Your family is not at Jing City, where are your family come from? Where will you go out from your house? Or hotel?”
“Your house” she means Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan’s current house.
Ye Qing Xin replies: “From hotel.”
Previously they have discussed about it and decided that Ye Qing Xin will stay at hotel a night before the wedding.
“It’s quite good.” Song Xian Yu says and takes a slice of fish for Ye Qing Xin. “Eat more fish. It’s good for Baby’s development. Be careful for the bone.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Thank you.”
The time they are almost done for the dinner, Song Xian Yu asks Ye Qing Xin to go to the restroom together. Jing Suo Suo also follows them.
Ye Qing Xin comes out from the restroom first. She waits for Jing Suo Suo and Song Xian Yu outside.
“Ni Hao (Hi), do you know where is Isla?”
A man with shoddy Chinese is asking someone.
Isla?
Ye Qing Xin tries to find the voice. She looks over and notices a foreign man with blue eyes. He looks somehow serious and strict like Jing Bo Yuan.
The time he looks at Ye Qing Xin, his eyes light up because he appreciates her beauty. But he just admires her.
“Ni Hao, do you know where is Isla? She is my wife, I...” His Chinese is not really fluent. He tries to gesture the word: “..... I cannot find her....”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Your wife, is her Chinese name called Xiao Lian?”
“Oui! Oui!” That man is emotional. He starts to speak in French. Ye Qing Xin just guesses that he says yes.
She smiles and points to a direction. “Go to that corner and turn right. You go in at the second door. Your wife is inside.... do you understand me?”
“Understand. Thank you.” That man shakes Ye Qing Xin’s hand and leaves.
Ye Qing Xin smiles.
Xiao Lian, Isla, is his wife.
Xiao Lian had married abroad?
It’s interesting.
“Xin Xin, what are you doing?” Song Xian Yu and Jing Suo Suo go out from the restroom.
Ye Qing Xin looks at them and replies: “Nothing, before someone is lost. I helped him.”
“Then let’s go back.” Song Xian Yu holds Ye Qing Xin’s arm.
They return to the private room. The door is opened. They could hear the noise: “Isla, don’t be like this. Let’s talk....”
Xiao Lian is so emotional: “We have nothing to talk. Don’t look for me again.”
“Isla, our kids miss you a lot...”
“We are divorced, Mo Nai!”
Mo Nai takes out his phone and dials a number. He mumbles several words.
Xiao Lian understands his words and her face turns complicated. She is silent then takes her handbag to leave.
The time she passes Ye Qing Xin. She looks at her calmly.
Mo Nai notices Ye Qing Xin and smiles at her.
Ye Qing Xin smiles back and silently says: “Jia You!” (Fighting)
Mo Nai smiles back.
Jing Bo Yuan notices both of their interaction.
After the dinner, it’s nine o’clock. Inside the room, there are several tables for playing card. The elders start to go home while the juniors start to play Mahjong.
Someone calls Ye Qing Xin to play.
At first Jing Bo Yuan wanted to take her home to rest. But because of her previous winning experience, Ye Qing Xin looks excited. She seems eager to play.
“Let me play for a while, we can go back at 09:30?” She acts like a spoiled kid in front of him.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her: “Go.”
Ye Qing Xin is happy. She sits down. The time she sits down, someone beside her says that she has stomachache so Gu Qiao replaces that girl.
Gu Qiao sits down: “I am not good at this. Please don’t laugh at me.” She looks at Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin you are good with this?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “This is my second time. I am not that expert.”
The waiter serves them drink and Ye Qing Xin asks for fresh orange juice.
After a round, Ye Qing Xin wins.
Gu Qiao looks okay but the other’s faces have turned sour.
Then Jing Bo Yuan comes over: “We should go home now.”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t want to go home yet. She raises her little face to negotiate: “Let me play for another ten minutes...”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything and just stands there. He looks at her eyes seriously.
Ye Qing Xin then gives up: “Okay.” She smiles at other players: “I’m sorry. I should go home now.”
No one dares to say anything.
Ye Qing Xin stands up and Jing Bo Yuan takes her handbag. He holds her hand, greets the elders and leaves.
Someone says: “Cinderella marries to Prince charming is really a beautiful tale. Look at that girl. Jing Bo Yuan controls her too much. She is utterly obedient to him. She acts like she is his slave.”
“You ah, you are great with Mahjong but you cannot see through other things. Now she is pregnant, A Yuan cares about her health so he takes her home. Did you see before A Yuan helps her with her handbag? Now a man with high position as him, how can he act that way?”
“Exactly. A Yuan is holding her hand tightly like he is afraid to lose her. I can see that they are in good relationship. It’s really admiring. It’s been a long time since I held hand with my man.”
“Ay, have you guys receive the wedding invitation? Did you notice the note “forego cash gift”? Is Bo Yuan showing off his money? For this wedding he invites more than one thousand people. Isn’t he stupid? If a person gives several ten thousands, then he will get more than ten millions? He doesn’t want money, he doesn’t show his businessman characteristic.”
“What are you thinking about? He considers his young wife, did you know that his wife comes from poor background. That time you wouldn’t know what kind of poor families will come to the wedding. Their cash gift may only range to one to two hundred. It’s too shabby. He does that because he considers her relatives.”
“How can you know it so clearly?”
“I guess it.”
“......”
