Chapter 278

Gu Qiao’s words clearly want to show that Ye Qing Xin and Old Madame Yan are not as close as they should be.

Ye Qing Xin is always good to understand the hidden meaning behind one’s words. How can she not understand Gu Qiao’s intention.

Ye Qing Xin’s words on the other side comforts Gu Qiao and criticizes her own self. But actually she silently wants to show Gu Qiao about who is the real relative of Old Madame Yan. She also wants to hint Old Madame Yan about Gu Qiao’s words.

But it’s clear that Old Madame Yan doesn’t notice it, she also doesn’t realize Gu Qiao’s words’ hidden meaning.

After all, they were close for ten years. She might not think that Gu Qiao is that kind of people.

But Old Madame Yan feels sorry when she hears Ye Qing Xin’s words. She puts down her chopsticks and holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand. She says: “What are you talking about. How can Wai Po blame you for, you care about me. It’s Wai Po’s good fortune.”

Ye Qing Xin raises her head and smiles: “Having you as my Wai Po, is also my good fortune.”

Old Madame Yan smiles: “You kid……shhh…..”

Ye Qing Xin is surprised and asks: “What happened?”

Old Madame Yan leans back on the bed and says: “I’m okay. It’s my periarthritis. I just need to rest…..”

“Nai Nai, it’s my bad. I forget that you have periarthritis.” Gu Qiao wants to take the box and the chopsticks.

Yet Ye Qing Xin is faster.

“Qiao Qiao Jie, now you are a sick person too. Just let me do it. You just need to take care of your body.” Ye Qing Xin smiles.

Gu Qiao turns to say to Old Mister Yan: “Ye Ye, drink more soup. It will help you to digest it.”

Old Mister Yan looks at Gu Qiao and replies: “Em.” Then he says to Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, help to take the soup for Wai Gong. Wai Gong is a bit thirsty.”

Gu Qiao is startled when she hears about this. Her face changes.

Gu Xing De is chatting on the other side with Jing Bo Yuan Jing Bo Yuan is cold toward him. Gu Xing De keeps on talking until he feels awkward because he has nothing to say anymore.

Jing Bo Yuan usually is a very polite person. But today he seems to not respect him as elder. He is cold.

Huang Wei Juan looked for someone to kidnap Ye Qing Xin. Though Gu Xing De didn’t know about this, but he is related with Huang Wei Juan. Jing Bo Yuan vent his anger on him.

Gu Xing De is also aware of this. He shuts his mouth and sits down on the side. He says nothing.

Jing Bo Yuan sits on the sofa, while he is watching Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin notices his gaze.

Jing Bo Yuan’s phone suddenly vibrates. Because of the room is so quiet, it can be heard by everyone.

He stands up and says to Old Madame Yan and Old Mister Yan politely: “I will go out and answer this.”

He goes out and closes the door.

Ye Qing Xin keeps on watching him till he is out.

Old Madame Yan notices it and laughs. “Look at our Xin XIn. Her heart is always with A Yuan….. kh kh…”

Ye Qing Xin blushes. She is shy.

“Wai Po……”

Gu Qiao looks at Ye Qing Xin’s blushing face. Ye Qing Xin looks so beautiful and cute.

She says: “He is really busy. In the weekend, he still needs to answer his phone.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Gu Qiao but doesn’t say anything.

Old Madame Yan feels the pain on her shoulder part so she says nothing.

Old Mister Yan massages Old Madame Yan’s shoulder. Gu Xing De feels that his daughter has entered an awkward atmosphere, he says: “How do you know it’s a call from work?”

Gu Qiao seems to not notice the awkwardness around her. She smiles and answers: “If it’s not a business matter, why does he need to answer it outside.”

Gu Qiao’s words by accident or design somehow strange.

Ye Qing Xin helps to massage Old Madame Yan’s shoulder on the other side. She smiles and says flatly: “He answers his call outside, it’s not only for respecting the caller but also those around him. Qiao Qiao Jie, you have been in the business world for long, how can you not understand about this basic manner?”

Gu Qiao: “………”

Gu Qiao laughs lightly: “I am just saying that casually. How can you be so serious.”

Ye Qing Xin: “I am saying that casually too, how can Qiao Qiao Jie be so serious too?”

Gu Qiao: “……..”

Gu Xing De notices the atmosphere turns more hostile. He tries to smooth things over: “Qiao Qiao, it’s been a long time that we are here. Your Nai Nai is okay now. You should return your room. You are hurt. The doctor advised you to take a rest.”

When Gu Xing De and Gu Qiao take the elevator to go down to Gu Qiao’s sickroom. Gu Xing De looks at his only daughter: “What you say before sounded inappropriate. It’s not like you.”

Gu Qiao looks at her reflection on the elevator. She is sitting on the wheelchair.

This half of month, losing one of her leg has attacked her mental. It torments her until she cannot sleep.

She looks okay, but actually she suffers a big attack.

She feels that she still has that leg. It is painful.

In the morning, the pain is better than the evening. In the evening, it is painful a thousand more.

“Qiao Qiao, Papa is talking with you…”

“I know.” She shifts her gaze from the elevator door toward her father, someone that is not really close to her.

“I will not do it anymore, Papa.” Her voice is gentle.

“Qiao Qiao?” He worries about her and asks: “Are….. are you okay?”

Gu Qiao smiles: “I’m very good Papa.” She continues: “Jing Bo Yuan is really protective of her.”

Gu Xing De is startled: “Who?”

“Who can it be? Ye Qing Xin. He is not only protective of her but also her family members.”

Gu Xing De frowns, he is confused.

Gu Qiao looks at Gu Xing De’s confused face and says. “Song Yu Ning is captured by the police.”

Gu Xing De is startled: “What do you mean?”

“She got my Ma’s instruction to drug Nai Nai, until Nai Nai had an heart attack. Jing Bo Yuan found someone to investigate this. She is taken to the police station to be investigated. My Ma is even more guilty than now.”

“Impossible. Your Ma is in the police station, how can she instruct Song Yu Ning?” Gu Xing De cannot believe this.

“You might not know, Papa. Before my Ma wanted to kidnap Ye Qing Xin. She had intention to harm Nai Nai. She always regarded Song Yu Ning as a raft. My ma controlled her through her son’s action of using public money illegally. She gave her a month to do it. If she didn’t do anything in a month, ma would give all the evidence to the police. My Ma didn’t expect that herself will get into the police station. She didn’t expect that in just month everything is exposed.”

Gu Qiao explains everything in clear and logical way.

Gu Xing De feels something is wrong.

Huang Wei Juan is caught, Song Yu Ning should be free from Huang Wei Juan’s threat. How can she still stubbornly do it.

Gu Xing De says his doubt clearly.

Gu Qiao says: “Do you think that my ma was accepting of her current situation? She passed the evidence to someone else, that someone used that evidence to threaten Song Yu Ning.”

“Nai Nai will be heartbroken to not that her closed one, Song Yu Ning, has betrayed her. Jing Bo Yuan hides it from her, he really gives much thought to this matter.”

Gu Xing De has the jitters.

He doesn’t feel shock that Huang Wei Juan did those thing or because she had bad intention but…… because his well-educated and intelligent daughter, unexpectedly knows this clearly.

“Qiao Qiao….” he is confused what should he say.

Now he feels more disappointed with Gu Qiao than Huang Wei Juan.

Huang Wei Juan doesn’t cover up her greed, she also doesn’t try hard to curry favor with Old Madame Yan. She always complains toward both Yan elders. There is nothing surprised that she wants to harm the elders.

Instead Gu Qiao always treats the two elders very well. They are close with each other.. unexpectedly she can see Old Madame Yan be harmed and didn’t stop it.

“Papa, what’s wrong with your expression? Are you feeling that you don’t understand me?” Gu Qiao is calm and sincere. She smiles like nothing is happen.

“Have you ever understand me? You guys never understand me.”

The elevator stops at first floor and the door opens.

Gu Qiao moves her own wheelchair to go out from the elevator.

Gu Xing De is startled for a while, but he quickly follows her.

The time they come out from the elevator, Zhao You Jia welcomes them. He helps to push the wheel chair.

Gu Qiao looks at him with her narrow eyes. She says nothing and lets him push her.

Gu Xing De is still in shock. Gu Qiao’s words affects him.

He cannot guess why Gu Qiao said those words to him. He feels that it’s not just purely telling him something but it suggesting something to him.

Gu Qiao’s words like a curse on his ear.

At night, 09:00 p.m. Yan house.

Gu Xing De tosses and turns on his bed. He feels that Gu Qiao’s words are not simple. He looks at the time, it’s early. He gets off his bed and goes to Gu Qiao’s room. He knocks on the doorr.

It’s been three days since Gu Qiao is discharged. That day Old Madame Yan picked her up and let the maid lighted up the firecrackers. She believes that the firecrackers will sweep away all Gu Qiao’s bad luck, it will keep her safe.

Gu Xing De is a thankful man. These years those elders are kind toward him. He always remembers it. He also wants the Jing Yan company if the elders are willing to give it to them. He will be happy. But if they don’t want to give it to him, he will be sad yet he will not snatch it.

<knock> <knock>

He knocks on the door three times. Then Gu Qiao says: “Come in.”

Gu Xing De opens the door. He notifces Gu Qiao is sitting on the sofa, her face is pale. She is sweaty. Her lips are bleeding, her hair is on a mess and stick to her neck.

Gu Xing De is surprised.

“Qiao Qiao, you….” He is shocked.

Gu Qiao smiles and says with her hoarse voice: “You don’t know about this right. Every night, I will be like this.”

She always feel in pain, she has an illusion pain of losing her legs. The doctor has prescribed her the medicine, but Gu Qiao doesn’t want to take it.

This pain is given by Ye Qing Xin.

She already accepts the fact that Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t like her, she also accepts the fact Jing Bo Yuan marries Ye Qing Xin. She even sent them her sincere blessing.

That day she called Ye Qing Xin and said those words, it was sincere. She also tried her best to forget Jing Bo Yuan. She put all her effort for Jing yan.

Nai Nai also says to her that she will give her a year to harden herself up.

For making Jing Yang great, she puts so much. She even agreed to marry into Feng family.

At last, there’s a bolt from a blue. Ye Qing Xin turns out to be Jing Yan’s successor.

She can accept this. She thought if she is not Jing Yan’s successor, she will keep on working on her dream to be a designer.

But life is not fair for her, she is forced to lose so much more.

Her leg, unexpectedly, she loses it because of Ye Qing Xin.

One afternoon, she accidentally heard the conversation between Gu Xing De and his lawyer about this. Her accident happened because of her mother’s plan of kidnapping Ye Qing Xin.

How can Ye Qing Xin is unharmed and live well. Yet she is in such great pain.

“Qiao Qiao, how can this be? Why don’t you tell me?” Gu Xing De is heartbroken.

No matter what Gu Qiao is his only daughter, of course he cares so much about her.

“It’s just an illusion, there’s nothing we can do, so what if I tell you?” Gu Qiao moves her body and sits down straight.

“Papa, what is it? Why are you looking for me?”

Gu Xing De looks at him. His disappointment toward her is gone. “Tomorrow I’ll take you to the doctor.”

Gu Qiao drinks her tea and says: “It’s nothing, Papa, go back and have a rest.”

“Qiao Qiao…….” Gu Xing De feels like Gu Qiao is pretending to be strong.

“Papa, do you feel that I am too ruthless toward Nai Nai, I unexpectedly didn’t stop Song Yu Ning to harm her.”

Gu Xing De: “……”

It’s the first time he feels that his daughter is too smart, that it is too terrifying.

Gu Qiao smiles toward Gu Xing De and says: “At first I asked someone to watch Song Yu Ning. I wanted to stop her immediately if there’s something wrong. But then….. I suddenly don’t want to know about it. Just like that.”
