Chapter 288

Ye Qing Xin is calm. Those words have no effect on her.

Dou Weir cannot accept that Ye Qing Xin is gossiped that way. She snorts coldly and says with her high voice: “A proverb says, talking behind a person is just a gossiper. I don’t know what will happen to that kind of person.”

Those two women look back. When they notice Ye Qing Xin, they feel so awkward. One of them tries to be brave and says with despise tone: “You are doing it and feel afraid to being judged? You have that kind of big belly and you dare to show it around. You should be expelled.”

“Ckck.” Dou Weir examines that woman, who is talking back: “Look at your manner. Why are you arrogant? You said that she should be expelled, so she should be expelled. Could it be that this university is your family’s property? The leader is your father? or your godfather?”

“I don’t have a godfather. You should know who here has a “godfather”. She is pregnant with an illegitimate child. She should be careful. Maybe she will just lose it.”

Those words are harsh.

Dou Weir is so furious: “Illegitimate child? Do you know who is the father? Maybe you will scare after you hear it. He is…”

“Weir.” Ye Qing Xin pulls Dou Weir’s hand back. She stops her.

Dou Weir is confused, she looks at Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, they are talking about your kids…”

“I know.” Ye Qing Xin pats Dou Weir’s hand and says: “We have class after this. We should go back soon. It’s an important class.”

She then says to the woman,who talks back at her. “A wise person will not believe a rumor. You are able to enter B university, it means you should be somewhat smart. A smart person also knows that she should control her own mouth. A one, that can’t even control her mouth, how can you wish that you can have a bright future?” Ye Qing Xin smiles and looks at that woman’s face again: “Your family is not in a good condition, I advise you to put your effort and mind more to your study. You look like someone that has a lot of spare time. It’s better for you to read more books. There’s no benefit you can get when you are just gossiping. Don’t let down your family.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and just leaves with Dou Weir. They return back to the class.

That woman is startled. The time she wants to respond, Dou Weir and Ye Qing Xin has entered the classroom.

“She dares to teach me? What is her qualification that she can teach me?” That woman blushes.

“I feel that what she said is reasonable. There’s nothing good you can get by gossiping. It’s better to read books…..”

“What is reasonable about that? She is a mistress, how can her words be good? Are you dumb?”

Inside the class.

Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir just get in the class and the bell rings.

They both return to their seat. Dou Weir moves closer: “Xin Xin, why are you talking round and round to them?”

The bell has rung but the professor hasn’t came yet.

Dou Weir asks again: “Why didn’t you let me tell the father of the kids. I really want to see how will she respond when she knows that the father is big boss of Bo Wei? Her expression will be so excited to watch.”

Ye Qing Xin takes out her textbook and says softly: “I don’t want anyone to misunderstand him. He always has an image as a mature and serious successful businessman. I don’t want to ruin it. If you said his name, they will definitely think that I am his mistress….”

“That time there will be bad gossips about it. With my current ability now, I cannot help him in business. But at least I can take care of myself and not things hard for her.”

“Weir, thank you for protecting me. In the future if we encounter the same problem, you don’t need to enrich their experience, you don’t need to be angry. Their words cannot affect me.”

Dou Weir is startled and suddenly pokes Ye Qing Xin’s head lightly: “….. you are really considerate of him.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I just do it within my range of power. He always be the one that protects me, I also want to protect him.”

Dou Weir acts like she has a stomachache. She says: “I really have enough of you guys. Everyday I am sick because your romantic gesture.”

Dou Weir suddenly remembers something, she whispers in Ye Qing Xin’s ear: “I remember that woman before, isn’t she…. the one that…… in the past there’s a architecture and civil engineering male student that pursuing you. He is not rich. That time he really liked you and didn’t mind about your family situation too? That woman before isn’t she that male student’s ex-girlfriend?”

“I heard from the rumor that they are childhood sweetheart. That man broke their relationship because of you. So turns out she said those hostile words because you guys were rivals in love.”

“We are not rivals in love, I don’t even know her.”

Then suddenly, the professor comes inside.

“I’m sorry. I have a matter to attend to. Now let’s start……”

Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir sit down well and attend the class.

In the mid-afternoon after the class, Dou Weir and Ye Qing Xin go to the dining hall to enjoy their lunch.

They both look for a quiet corner table to sit down.

“Xin Xin, I keep on being puzzled. How can the news about your pregnancy spread out, few days ago I heard from other people in private, that your pregnancy is just known by our roommates, could it be because of Suo Suo? Or Qian Rong?”

“I remember that last time Qian Rong asked for your help to invest on her Pa? You don’t agree to it. Perhaps she has grudge toward you so she spreads the news out….. em. It’s possible.”

Dou Weir nods and thinks about her guess.

Ye Qing Xin eats her slice of roast meat. She chews it and says: “Maybe.”

Dou Weir watches Ye Qing Xin’s calm face: “I think you are too calm. If it’s me, I’ll be so furious. Who dare enough to talk about me and my kids. I will beat them up.”

Ye Qing Xin just shifts the topic of conversation. “I think you are too relax, you don’t have any activity?”

“Don’t mention it, I fight with my manager.”

“Why?”

“She unexpectedly introduce me for a job that I don’t like. I scolded her. Now she doesn’t even want to meet me. She should take all the resources from me.”

“Then what are your plan?”

“I should break the contract. What else can I do. I just need to have my own freedom and join a model competition….”

Dou Weir’s phone suddenly rings.

She puts down her chopsticks and takes out her phone. She looks at the screen and be startled for a while. She doesn’t answer it and just rejects the call.

“Why aren’t you answering it?” Ye Qing Xin asks.

Dou Weir says casually: “It’s just a call to promote things.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t miss out that Dou Weir was startled before. Ye Qing Xin can guess whose the caller but she doesn’t say it.

The phone rings once more, Dou Weir pretends not to hear it.

They both keep on eating and the phone keeps on ringing. Everyone looks at her.

Ye Qing Xin says: “Just answer it. Perhaps the sales has something urgent to tell you?”

Dou Weir rolls her eyes, she notices that Ye Qing Xin is joking with her. “You are doing this in purpose right? After you are with Big Boss Jing, you have changed. Now you make fun of me.”

Ye Qing Xin opens her eyes big and shows her innocent look. “I don’t make fun of you. I am serious. Perhaps this call is an urgent call.”

Dou Weir ignores Ye Qing Xin, they are now in front of their dorm room. Dou Weir then excuses herself: “I remember that I forget to buy something. I want to go to supermarket, do you want to come with me?”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Dou Weir’s eyes. “I am somewhat tired. You can go by yourself.”

The time Dou Weir goes downstair. Her phone turns silent.

She stops walking and goes to the nearby garden. She sits down on the bench and daydreams for a while. She sits there for five minutes and her phone rings again.

She takes out her phone. It’s another call from the same number.

It’s been around….. em, a month. He never calls her during those time.

She answers it. She doesn’t say anything and just waits for him to say something.

“Wei Weir.”

It’s been a long time since she heard him call her by that name. Her tears fall down without her realizing.

She covers her mouth to suppress her sobbing sound.

It’s He Ji Fan’s hoarse voice. His voice makes her recall their moment of togetherness.

In the past when they were together. After having the intimate moment, he used to lean back on the headboard and smoked. That time she likes to lean on his embrace. Her ear will stick close to his chest.

Dou Weir doesn’t say anything, He Ji Fan also says nothing. They both are silent.

After a while.

She maintains her feeling and says coldly: “He Xian Sheng, is there any problem?”

“It’s been some time since we last met. How are you?”

“I’m very good. Thank you for your are.”

Then there is a silence moment again.

Dou Weir finally speaks up: “If there’s nothing else, then bye….. I hope in the future, He Xian Sheng, will not call me again. My… boyfriend will be unhappy that I am in a call with another man. He is a narrow-minded man.”

Dou Weir just directly ends the call without waiting for He Ji Fan’s response.

The sky looks gloomy and dull just like her mood.

Since the day Dou Weir hears He Ji Fan’s conversation with someone on the phone that he doesn’t plan to marry Dou Weir. She feels afraid that she will be trapped. She cannot free herself from her emotion. So the next day she just ended their relationship. She wanted to help herself.

She feels something is empty.

She goes back to the dorm. Inside the dorm, there’re only Ye Qing Xin and Qian Rong. Jing Suo Suo doesn’t come today to attend the class, she is sick.

Ye Qing Xin notices Dou Weir’s sad mood, she asks her: “Are you okay?”

Dou Weir forces herself to smile: “I’m okay.”

For the afternoon class, Dou Weir is unfocused.

Ye Qing Xin knows what is the reason for her downward mood, yet she doesn’t know how should she help her.

For this feeling matter, she feels that she needs to handle it by her own.

After the third period.

Ye Qing Xin gets a call from Jing Bo Yuan. He says that tonight he has an important business dinner that he needs to attend at Jing Cheng hotel. He cannot come to pick her up. He will be back before ten o’clock.

Jing Bo Yuan has used to report his daily activities to her.

Ye Qing Xin never stops Jing Bo Yuan to attend social business dinner. She only tells him to not drink too much alcohol.

“Xin Xin, you are so lucky.” Dou Weir sighs with sorrow. She is jealous with Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin holds Dou Weir’s hand and says: “You will also have it. You are just twenty one years old woman. You have a long life in front of you. No need to rush it.”

Dou Weir looks at Ye Qing Xin’s big belly and strokes her own belly for a while. She says faintly: “Same kind of people but different fates.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……”

After the class, Ye Qing Xin and DoU Weir have their dinner in the dining hall. Then they walk toward the front gate.

The sky is dark. Driver Lu is the one that picks her up today. Driver Lu opens the door for her.

“Let’s go first to Bei An plaza.”

Driver Lu is surprised: “Bei An plaza is really far, Tai Tai, why are you going there? Do you want to buys something? Jin Ying plaza is nearer, it’s better to go there.”

“No.” Ye Qing Xin says: “I want to meet someone.”

Driver Lu says nothing else and nods. He just drives his car.

The time they arrive there, it’s seven o’clock.

There’s a live music and fountain there. There are lots of people there taking photo. Ye Qing Xin looks around and she doesn’t really know who is Xu Jin Huan.

She takes out her phone and calls Xu Jin Huan. But Xu Jin Huan calls her first.

Ye Qing Xin answers it.

Xu Jin Huan says: “I see you. Look at the statute side.”

Ye Qing Xin looks over and notices a petite girl, who is walking toward her.

“Hi, I am Xu Jin Huan.” Xu Jin Huan introduces herself and extends her hand to shake hand with Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin smiles back and shakes her hand: “I am Ye Qing Xin, Ye Qing Guo’s Jie Jie.”

“Let’s sit down there.” Xu Jin Huan points at the empty bench nearby.

They walk and sit down there.

Ye Qing Xin knows the reason why Xu Jin Huan is looking for her. Xu Jin Huan also talks directly to the point. “Director Huang told me that you don’t want to let Ye Qing Guo to act in a movie. Can I know what is the reason?”

Ye Qing Xin says honestly: “Xiao Guo is a naive person. That world is so complex and complicated.”

Xu Jin Huan considers her answer for a while and says: “Let me tell you a story.”

“Ten years ago, a girl liked the most handsome boy in her class. That girl didn’t know about being reserved. She did the most childish and hilarious things to attract that man’s attention. It turned out that she successfully attracted him. Just like she wished, she and that man be together. For being together with that man, that girl tried very hard to study to be able to enter the same university as him.”

“When they were in the university, they were inseparable. They were planning about their future, they imagined their life after the marriage, they were looking for names for their future kids. When that girl thought that kind of happiness can preserve forever, a car accident took away that man’s IQ.”

“The boy forgets completely about the woman. The girl can only see that the man she loves did what a six-years old kid do. She was in despair that she cried and cried. Everyone persuaded her to give up because the doctor said that the chance for that boy can recover is only one percent. That boy will be like forever.”

“That girl ignored all the opposition and cared for the man. She was so afraid that the man will be mocked and bullied. She took care of him just like a mother hen protects her little ones. She protected him under her wings for five years.

“A year ago during the spring, the girl brought the boy out. The time the girl bought an ice cream, that car accident happened. It took away that boy’s life. That girl saw the accident happened in front of her. She watched how the car lost its control and hit that boy. The girl yells at him: “Sheng Sheng, hurry up run.” That boy just stared at the girl blankly. He didn’t understand what she meant.”

“Afterwards, that girl just understands that she just focused on taking care of the boy, yet she forgot that she should teach him how to protect himself too. In this world, danger is everywhere.”

Xu Jin Huan sounds calm. But when Ye Qing Xin turns her head and looks at Xu Jin Huan. Xu Jin Huan’s face is full of tears.

Ye Qing Xin takes out a tissue from her bag and passes it to her.

Xu Jin Huan takes it and wipes her tears. She says: “In the past I didn’t believe in God’s providence, but then I believe it. If that day I didn’t take him out, perhaps if we were just a minute late to go out. He will not leave so early. The time was so exact, the moment we stopped to be ice cream. The car lost its control and just wanted to hit the stupid Sheng Sheng.”

“Do you understand my point? The time you try so hard to protect someone. You forget that you need to teach them how to protect themselves…….”
