Chapter 232
Song Jiu’s words are a bit casual but also has meaning.
In the beginning, Ye Qing Xin asked Jing Bo Yuan about the reason behind his action of not asking cash gift, but Jing Bo Yuan didn’t answer her clearly.
She seems to understand now why he chose to do that.
Jing Bo Yuan is a businessman. A Businessman should be expert in using all the sources to get profit. Using the minimum cost to earn the biggest profit.
Accepting wedding gift, even though it’s not the same as business, but it’s extremely easy to obtain benefit with it. But a great businessman like Jing Bo Yuan, doesn’t want it. He can let go of this profit, should be because there’s something good that makes him do it.
Could it be like Song Jiu said, he cares about her reputation?
The fact cannot be denied. The guests, who are invited by Ye Qing Xin, will have lower economic level that those invited by Jing Bo Yuan. The gap might too huge.
With his action of foregoing cash gift, it will have no comparison and harm.
Ye Qing Xin is thankful.
For Jing Bo Yuan, her prestige should be more important than those benefit?
“Xin Xin, what are you thinking? I am talking with you.” Song Jiu notices that Ye Qing Xin is loss at her own thought.
Ye Qing Xin regains herself and asks: “What is it?”
“I asked whether you want to you to the bar to hold your bachelorette party? After tomorrow, you will be a married woman, even you want to fool around, you cannot do it.” Song Jiu asks in high spirit.
“No.” Dou Weir answers first.”Xin Xin is pregnant, she cannot go to that kind of place.”
Song Jiu slaps her head: “I forget about that.” She then says: “If not let’s go stroll around in the afternoon? I will be so bored to stay here at the hotel for the whole day…..”
She is someone that cannot stay still.
Song Jiu looks at Ye Qing Xin’s belly: “Can you? If you cannot then it’s okay. I don’t really need to go.”
Ye Qing Xin thinks about it. She says: “It’s also Shu Shu Shen Shen’s first time to come to Jing City. Let’s take them to stroll around.”
Song Jiu is happy: “Okay, okay.”
Dou Weir is looking at her phone.
At 11 a.m. a group of people is having lunch in the dining area.
After the lunch, Ye Qing Xin calls Driver Lu. After ten minutes, Driver Lu comes over with a black Volvo. It’s not an expensive car but it has a lot of seats.
Ye Qing Xin never knows that Jing Bo Yuan has this car. She thinks this should be especially prepared for their group. She smiles because she is happy for that man’s caring.
The car stops at nearby large-scale department store.
They stroll around, Ye Qing Xin buys everything from head to toe for Song Fu and Song Mu.
This is the first time for them to come to Jing City, she thinks she should not let them come home empty-handed.
After buying all the clothes, Ye Qing Xin asks Driver Lu to take them to city center, she wants to take two elders to look at symbolic construction of Jing City, Tian An Men.
Both Song Fu and Song Mu are excited to see it because all of their life they just ever see it on TV.
Ye Qing Xin also wants to take them to the temple but Dou Weir is worried about her. She asks Driver Lu to take Ye Qing Xin back to the hotel to rest. She will take Song Jiu and family to the temple.
Indeed Ye Qing Xin is a bit tired so she doesn’t act stubbornly. She goes home with Ye Qing Guo.
The car stops in front of the hotel lobby. It’s almost 04:00 p.m.
The time she gets off the car. She stops. She turns around to see her surrounding. She feels this feeling is too familiar. She feels like she is being watched by someone. She remember that feeling is a bit the same like the time Yu Qing You pushed her down and leaded to her miscarriage. She is careful now.
When she notices there is nothing strange, she stands there for several seconds. Then she holds Ye Qing Guo’s arm to get in.
Inside the room, Ye Qing Xin sits down and takes a rest. Auntie Chi prepares a cup of honey tea for her. Ye Qing Xin drinks it.
After a while, the phone rings.
Auntie Chi answers it. Then she says to Ye Qing Xin: “Tai Tai, the receptionist said that Old Madame Yan comes here to see you.”
Ye Qing Xin is startled and says: “I will go down now.”
She puts down the cup and suddenly remembers something. She calls after Ye Qing Guo: “Xiao Guo, follow Jie Jie down and welcome Yan Nai Nai.”
Ye Qing Guo is watching his favorite cartoon so he is not happy with it.
“Jie Jie will reward you two cubes of chocolate.” Ye Qing Xin uses the trump card.
Ye Qing Guo’s eyes lights up. He stands up and runs to hr side. He takes initiative to give his arm for Ye Qing Xin to hold. He says happily: “Let’s go, Jie Jie.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at his expression, she feels he is cute but also feels a bit disappointed.
She strokes his short hair and smiles. She holds his arm.
She goes down and she is astonished when she looks at the scene on the lobby.
Old Madame Yan is standing beside Song Yu Ning. Behind them, there are more than people, each one of them is holding a bright red boxes.
Ye Qing Xin knows what this all about. She lets go of Ye Qing Guo’s arm. She moves closer to Old Madame Yan: “Yan Nai Nai.”
Old Madame Yan smiles happily and gently. She holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand. “Where is your room? Let’s talk inside your room.”
All of them go upstair.
The empty living room of the suit turns full of red boxes.
“Yan Nai Nai…..” Ye Qing Xin looks around. Her eyes turn red. She understands why she is doing this.
“Good kid.” Old Madame Yan keeps on holding her hand. She doesn’t know why but thinking that Ye Qing Xin will marry soon, she feels a bit sad and reluctant.
It’s the same feeling when she let her own daughter married.
“I know that if I give you expensive dowries, you will refuse. These are not expensive, but it’s my little kindness. Don’t refuse it. You are marrying out, dowries don’t need to be a lot. But you should have it. It’s our ancestor’s rule. You have no parents to help you to do this. Just regard Nai Nai as your relative.”
“Thank you, Yan Nai Nai.” Ye Qing Xin doesn’t refuse it.
“Last year I just met you and you were just a kid. Now with a blink of eye, you will be a married woman soon.” Old Madame Yan says.
“In the future, if A Yuan bullies you, you need to tell Nai Nai, Nai Nai will help you….”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Okay.”
Ye Qing Xin asks Old Madame Yan to stay for dinner then she sends her out of the lobby to go home. She watches the old grandma gets on the car and disappears from her sight.
Ye Qing Guo is waiting for her nearby and watching at people.
“Xiao Guo?”
Ye Qing Guo looks at her: “Jie Jie, there are lots of people there.”
There’s a small fountain nearby.
Ye Qing Xin knows that he wants to go over and play with it. She smiles and says: “Jie Jie is a bit tired, wants to sleep. Let’s go back to the room, okay?”
“Okay.” Ye Qing Guo answers with his small voice.
He says it and turns his body to get inside the lobby. But suddenly he stops. He raises up his right elbow and points it at Ye Qing Xin: “Jie Jie’s arm.”
He wants Ye Qing Xin to hold his arm, but he doesn’t know how to say it.
Ye Qing Xin understands his meaning, she holds his hand: “This call “hold hand”, next time you can say “Hold my hand…..”
Ye Qing Guo nods.
They both walk toward the elevator.
They don’t notice someone behind them. A woman with a black coat, sunglass and gauze mask, is following them inside.
The employees greet Ye Qing Xin.
That woman with black coat is wearing a black flat shoes so she doesn’t make any shoes. She is holding something with her left hand and taking something out with her right hand. She wants to take out something but she cannot do it.
The elevator is three meter away from the elevator. This time there’s only few guests around.
Ye Qing Xin and Ye Qing Guo keep on walking and that woman walks even faster to keep up with them. Her eyes are watching Ye Qing Xin. She finally gets it and takes something dazzling out.
