Chapter 269

Ye Qing Xin notices Gu Qiao’s gaze on her, the time she turns her head to see her. Their eyes meet each other. She smiles toward Gu Qiao politely.

But it somehow makes Gu Qiao turns startled.

“Qiao Qiao, don’t be sad. It’s good to cancel the wedding. From the beginning I also feel that they do not have good motivation. But your Ma insisted. Now your Ma could not control you anymore. Now you are only twenty seven, there’s still time. You will meet someone that can treat you well and sincerely.”

Old Madame Yan strokes Gu Qiao’s hand gently.

Gu Qiao regains herself and looks at Old Madame Yan’s eyes. She chokes: “Nai Nai, I’m tired. I want to rest.”

“Okay, have a rest. We will not disturb you again.” Old Madame Yan let her lay down. Zhao You Jia wants to help her but Gu Qiao avoids his touch.

Zhao You Jia’s hands stop in the mid-air, but he quickly takes his hands back.

Ye Qing Xin, Jing Bo Yuan and Old Madame Sheng stand up. Jing Bo Yuan says: “We will go home first.”

Old Madame Yan hurriedly covers Gu Qiao with blanket, the time she hears Ye Qing Xin wants to go home. She says hurriedly: “Wait for a while, I will go home with you.”

Gu Qiao is startled with tears and calls after her: “Nai Nai…” she is unwilling to be left.

After the accident, Gu Qiao feels that Old Madame Yan’s companion as part of comfort for her.

She loses her leg, she doesn’t have the whole family anymore. She cannot live without Old Madame Yan’s love.

Old Madame Yan stops and turns her head to look at the miserable Gu Qiao. She cannot leave.

Gu Qiao stays by her side for more than years. At the most difficult time during her life, she stayed by her side and made her laugh. Gu Qiao helped her spend the difficult days. Now her granddaughter is back, she loves Ye Qing Xin dearly but she still loves Gu Qiao too.

Ye Qing Xin looks at Gu Qiao and Old Madame Yan, she smiles: “Wai Po, if not you stay here to accompany Qiao Qia Jie, now she needs her family to stay by her side.”

Retreat in order to advance.

Old Madame Yan considers for a while. She clutches Gu Qiao’s hand and persuades her: “Qiao Qiao, let Nai Nai go home for a while okay. Tomorrow I will come and visit you again?”

Gu Qiao’s eyes turn sad, but she let Old Madame Yan’s hand go. She nods lightly.

Old Madame Yan pats Gu Qiao’s shoulder and walks toward Ye Qing Xin’s side. She holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and smiles.

Ye Qing Xin smiles back at her and says nothing.

If Old Madame Yan wants to stay and take care of Gu Qiao, Ye Qing Xin will not stop her. At the same time, if Old Madame Yan wants to go home and accompany her, she also will not refuse.

Gu Qiao is badly injured, Ye Qing Xin will not harm her when she’s down but at the same time, she cannot help her too.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t forget that in the beginning because of her, Zhao You Jia blackmailed Doctor Su to do something to her body. Though she is not sure whether Gu Qiao knows about it or not, but it is related to her somehow.

Ye Qing Xin also doesn’t forget that if Zhao You Jia’s plan is successful, she will not be with Jing Bo Yuan. She will not be the mother of her three kids.

It’s so windy when they come out of the hospital.

Jing Bo Yuan holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand.

Old Madame Sheng sighs and says: “Qiao Qiao is so miserable. Huang Wei Juan did something terrible and made her reputation bad. If there’s Yan family, she will be ruined forever. …. miserable kid……”

Old Madame Yan sighs: “That’s right.”

They return to the Nan Shan Mansion. In the afternoon 12:00 a.m. Old Mister Yan and old Mister Sheng go out to meet with their old friends.

On the dining table, Old Madame Sheng wraps thin pancake with sweet sauce roast duck for Ye Qing Xin. She says: “Tonight Xin Xin and me will go back to Sheng family for a while, I have something to talk to.” Then she says to Jing Bo Yuan: “A Yuan also follow us.”

Ye Qing Xin asks: “What is it?”

Old Madame Sheng smiles: “It’s about will.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled.

Will?

She looks at Old Madame Sheng with her confused stare.

Old Madame Sheng looks at Old Madame Yan and says: “I and your Ye Ye are old. We don’t know till when we can live. We are not as healthy like we use to be. Maybe we will be die soon. It’s better to be prepared so we can be relieved.”

Ye Qing Xin feels a bit sad.

She just finds her relatives. She wants to spend more time with them. Now yet they talk about their old age like they will leave soon.

She cannot accept this.

“Nai Nai….”

“Look at you. What is this. We are old but it’s inevitable. You don’t need top be sad. I’m happy that you can live well.”

“Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Let’s enjoy our lunch.”

Old Madame Yan looks Ye Qing Xin’s face and seems to be thinking of something.

After the lunch.

Jing Bo Yuan leaves to handle his own business, Ye Qing Xin stays at home with her two grandmas.

Ye Qing Xin’s phone suddenly rings. She takes it and looks at the screen. It’s a call from Gu Qiao. She is surprised.

She stands up and walks toward her hanging chair. She answers it.

“Xin Xin.” Gu Qiao says hoarsely.

Ye Qing Xin says nothing and listens to her.

Gu Qiao says: “I am really jealous of you. You used to have nothing, but now you have everything. Xin Xin, I am not only jealous of you but I also envy you.”

“I envy you that you have that man’s love and care. I envy you that you can be pregnant with his kids. I envy you that you can have a great status now. I envy that you are prettier than before.”

Ye Qing Xin sits down on her hanging chair and cuts her off: “What do you want to say, say it directly.”

Gu Qiao is startled and says: “For my ma’s matter, please be magnanimous.”

Ye Qing Xin pursues her lips and says nothing.

“I apologize to you for what my Ma did. Xin Xin, I’m sorry. My Ma let someone to kidnap you. She was afraid that you will rob everything that she had. Xin Xin, I promise you as long…. as you let Jing…. Jing Bo Yuan let go of my Ma, I will not fight with you for what Yan family has.”

Gu Qiao is like a filial daughter.

Ye Qing Xin thinks that Gu Qiao probably doesn’t know that her leg is gone because of her mother.

“First……’ Ye Qing Xin smiles, “Yan family’s wealth and glory are not your mother.”

“Second, for all Yan family’s assets, it belongs to Wai Gong and Wai Po. It’s their right to give it to anyone. I will not fight for it.”

“Third, your mother did something wrong, let the law decides what should be her punishment. I and Bo Yuan are just ordinary people. We are not government officials, we have no right to intervene.”

Ye Qing Xin is calm.

Gu Qiao is silent for a while and speaks up again: “Xin Xin, I beg you. Don’t let my ma stays in the prison. She already knows her wrongdoing. She regrets it. Just take a look at me… I lose my legs, can you just take pity on me, and don’t let me lose my mother?”

Ye Qing Xin is still calm: “You should know that the day your mother is successful for her plan to kidnap me, what will it be for me? They wanted to make me unconscious, they didn’t care about my kids. You and your mother are miserable. But what about me and my kids? Should I let me and my kids be treated that way?’

“Your mother wanted to kidnap me, what will she do do to us? Em, will she take pity on me, and let me go?”

Gu Qiao turns silent.

Ye Qing Xin says: “Gu Qiao, there’s a proverb saying that who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind. It’s very suitable for your mother.”

Then Ye Qing Xin hangs up. She takes a deep breath.

Ye Qing Xin strokes her belly. She should calm down and maintain her mood.

“Who is calling? Why are you talking so long?” Old Madame Sheng asks when Ye Qing Xin comes back to sit down on the sofa.

Ye Qing Xin laughs: “A friend.”

In the afternoon 04:30 p.m. Jing Bo Yuan comes home. He changes his clothes and drives Old Madame Sheng and Ye Qing Xin back home.

Sheng family house is located at the most expensive area in Jing City. It’s the second time for Ye Qing Xin to come over. After it is known that she is part of Sheng family, Old Madame Sheng took her to her house once.

The maid opens the door for them and greets all of them. “Old Madame, Xiao Jie, Gu Ye (Son-in-law/ Jing Bo Yuan).”

Just like usual, Jing Bo Yuan helps Ye Qing Xin to change into slipper. Old Madame Sheng watches them and feels happy for it.

“Ay, it’s A Yuan? Why are you kneeling down? I even cannot recognize you?” Sheng Wen Qiong appears.

Jing Bo Yuan helps Ye Qing Xin and doesn’t change his expression. He just looks at Sheng Wen Qiong. He follows Ye Qing Xin to greet Sheng Wen Qiong: “Gu Gu.”

He is polite.

Sheng Wen Qiong laughs coldly: “For a woman, you don’t mind your pride. You are big boss but you are willing to bow down and help her to change her shoes. Aren’t you afraid that it’ll be a joke to the public.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles lightly: “A husband is helping his wife, isn’t it normal?”

Ye Qing Xin adds: “Could it be Gu Fu (Yu Wei) never help Gu Gu to change shoes?”

Their words echo each other. It silently implies that Sheng Wen Qiong isn’t treated well by Yu Wei.

Sheng Wen Qiong’s face changes.

No woman is willing to be labelled that she does not get the love from her husband.

She glares at them and snorts coldly.

Old Madame Sheng stops Sheng Wen Qiong to say anything more: “Stop it. Don’t say anything more. Why are you standing here? You don’t want us to get in?”

Sheng Wen Qiong shuts her mouth and turns her body. She walks toward the living room.

In the living room, Old Mister Sheng is sitting down on the sofa. He just returns from his gathering with his friends. Yu Wei and Yu Geng Xin are also in the living room. Yu Geng Xin is on the call, so he just nods at both Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan as a way of his greeting toward them.

Behind Old Mister Sheng, there are two middle-aged man with a suit. They both greet Jing Bo Yuan: “Jing Zong (Chief Jing).” They seem to know each other.

Jing Bo Yuan says nothing to them and just nods.

The maid pours Jing Bo Yuan a cup of tea and serves Ye Qing Xin a glass of fresh orange juice.

Everyone takes a seat.

Sheng Wen Qiong sits down on Yu Wei’s left side. Old Madame Sheng sits down on Old Mister Sheng’s right side. Jing Bo Yuan and Ye Qing Xin sits together.

Sheng Wen Qiong watches how intimate Jing Bo Yuan is with Ye Qing Xin. She is unhappy with it. She thinks about her daughter, Yu Qing You. In the beginning, when Yu Qing You likes Jing Bo Yuan very much, she always tried hard to matchh them. But then Ye Qing Xin appears and snatches Jing Bo Yuan from Yu Qing You. If there’s no Ye Qing Xin, maybe now Bo Wei’s mistress will be Yu Qing You. The biggest shareholder will be Yu Qing You. A lot of people will envy Yu Qing You.

Sheng Wen Qiong is unhappy because of this. Ye Qing Xin has taken what should be Yu Qing you. Now Ye Qing Xin also wants to take what is hers.

After a while, Yu Geng Xin hangs up his call and sits down beside Sheng Wen Qiong.

“Ehm!” Old Mister Jing sees everyone is ready and gathered in the living room. He says: “Everyone is here. Mo Lu Shi (Lawyer Mo), let’s start.”

Then one man starts to speak up: “Good evening everyone. I am Mo Cheng, one of Wu Tong lawyers, I got an order from Sheng Xue Feng (Old Mister Sheng) to be the will executioner. The will has been approved by the notary office. It’s legal. Now I stand for Sheng Xue Feng Xian Sheng to announce about the will. Please take a look at this will. If you have any question, you can ask me.”

Then he looks at the man that is standing on the left side of Old Mister Sheng.

The other man hands each one of Sheng family members the copy of the will.

Ye Qing Xin flips it open and reads it.

Ye Qing Xin is not a hypocrite one, she likes wealth but she doesn’t think that it is the most important one.

For Sheng family’s assets, she doesn’t think that she should get, but if she can get it, she will be thankful. If she doesn’t get it, then she is still okay with it.

She feels that she has a lot of things now, she has families that loves her, a good and loving husband. Her husband has also given her a lot of things.

Sheng Wen Qiong reads the copy of the will and her face changes: “Pa, why should you give Dong Jiao Manor to her? I don’t agree.”

Old Mister Sheng is calm: “Except the manor, I leave everything for you. You still aren’t happy with it?”

Old Madame Sheng also says: “Wen Qiong, stop making trouble.”

Because of Ji Yi’s words, both of elders listen and consider it. They understand their daughter too well. Sheng Wen Qiong indeed has wild ambition. She is ruthless and can do anything to get what she wants. Though they don’t think that she will be ruthless enough to do something bad to Ye Qing Xin. But it’s better to be careful. They don’t want Sheng Wen Qiong to suffer like Huang Wei Juan. They also don’t want Ye Qing Xin to get hurt.”

Both of elders discuss and thinks that the best way is having a will.

Among Sheng family assets, there are two major things. They are Lavender mansion in Dong Jiao and Sheng family company.

Now Sheng company is controlled by Bo Wei. Ye Qing Xin is also the biggest shareholder of Bo Wei. It is hers. Now the manor will be Ye Qing Xin too. It makes Sheng Wen Qiong feels unhappy. Though she gets the remaining assets.

Sheng Wen Qiong starts to be furious. “I want the manor. You can give everything else to her.”

Old Mister Sheng looks at Sheng Wen Qiong seriously.

Sheng Wen Qiong doesn’t feel scared because of it. She says stubbornly: “I want that manor. If not I will not accept this will.”

Old Madame Sheng glares at Sheng Wen Qiong and says: “Is your approval important? It’s being approved by notary office. Whether you agree or not. Is the manor should be yours? That was built by Wen Jun for Tong Tong. Have you given any money or effort to built it? It’s Wen Jun’s effort so it should be his daughter!”

“Ma!” Sheng Wen Qiong says: “I’ve handled that manor for so many years. Even there’s no success but I work hard. I work hard for several years. How can you give it to anyone? What have she done for that?”

Old Madame Sheng says: “Don’t forget that manor’s profit is all taken by you. Do you think I don’t know about it?”

“Moreover, you said that you handle it? The only think you do is only that the profit.”

“Ma….” Sheng Wen Qiong’s face is green.

Old Mister Jing cuts her off: “Okay, stop. Get over it. I don’t tell you guys about this to get your approval, I am just informing you about it. Mo Lu Shi, now read the part that they haven’t read carefully.”

Mo Lu Shi nods and reads the last part. “As mentioned above in the will, there are two inheritors. If one of the inheritors is dead, then all the assets will be donated to the road accident foundation.”

It simply means if either Ye Qing Xin or Sheng Wen Qiong is dead, all of the assets will be donated. No one will get anything.

It’s clear that it is done to protect Ye QIng Xin.

It’s a smart choice.

Sheng Wen Qiong watches Ye Qing Xin with her furious eyes.

“Ma, how can you do this? If something bad happened to Ye Qing Xin, then I need to pay with my own? Am I really your daughter?”

Her words are rude and hostile.

Old Madame Sheng looks at Sheng Wen Qiong with disappointment.

Her daughter, is there any affection among family members in her heart?

Since Sheng Wen Qiong was little, Old Madame Sheng has noticed that Sheng Wen Qiong has bad temper compare to her son.

Sheng Wen Jun is always kind-hearted person, he isn’t an arrogant and proud person. He always considers her family. Everyday he always smiles at everyone. Yet Sheng Wen Qiong always acts impulsive and thinks of herself.

Because of this, the put their hope on their son.

After Sheng Wen Jun’s sudden death, both elders put their hope toward Sheng Wen Qiong. It’s just Sheng Wen Qiong cannot work well. It makes both elders miss their son a lot.

Old Madame sheng looks at her daughter’s face and feels so tired. She stands up and says: “For this will, it will not change. If you don’t want it, then just donate it. Okay, just like this. I am tired. I want to have a rest.”

“Xin Xin ah, you and A Yuan can go home and eat dinner. I will not let you guys stay. Nai Nai is tired. After several days, Nai Nai will move to Nan Shan again to accompany you.”

Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan stands up and takes leave.

Yu Geng Xin sends both of them off.

“My Ma’s words are harsh. She has no bad intention. Don’t think too much about it.” Yu Geng Xin says.

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “It’s okay Biao Ge. We don’t blame Gu Gu for it. She is our senior. We respect her.”

Yu Geng Xin: “I’m really sorry about this.”

He watches till the car leaves.

Old Madame Sheng and Old Mister Sheng return to their room. There’s no one in the living room.

The maid tidies up the glasses on the coffee table, Yu Geng Xin asks her: “Where are they?”

The maid answers: “Old Mister and Old Madame said that they are tired so they return to the room to have a rest. Tai Tai said that she has a headache and returns to the room. Xian Sheng accompanies her.”

Yu Geng Xin nods.

Suddenly his phone rings. He takes it out. It’s a call from Jiang Xiao Lou. He smiles and answers it.

Jiang Xiao Lou wants to take him out for dinner.

The call ends, he turns his body and wants to leave. But there’s a phone left in the sofa.

He takes a look of it. It’s Sheng Wen Qiong’s white phone.

Yu Geng Xin looks at the caller ID. It’s Sheng Wen Qiong’s friend.

He hesitates for a while, then he takes the phone and walks toward Yu Wei and Sheng Wen Qiong’s bedroom.

The phone stops ringing and he arrives at the bedroom’s door. He wants to know but there’s a loud noise from inside the room. Pak!

Something is smashed down.

“Why didn’t she just die with Sheng Wen Jun together!”

Though the room has a good soundproof wall, but Yu Geng Xin can hear Sheng Wen Qiong’s roar.

Yu Geng Xin stops, he doesn’t knock.

There’s a silent for a while. Then Sheng Wen Qiong says angrily: “They keep forcing me, they keep on pressuring me. I will kill that little girl, just like the time I killed Sheng Wen Jun! They should all die!”

“Lower your voice!” This time it’s Yu Wei’s voice.

Yu Geng Xin feels surprised like he is stroke by a lightning.
