Chapter 379

The time she is waiting for Old Madame Yan to wake up, Ye Qing Xin gets a call from Tai Zheng Ting. He says that he wants to send Ye Qing Guo home. Ye Qing Xin can hear that on the background, Ye Qing Guo is making a noise to go home with Tai Zheng Ting. Ye Qing Xin’s attention now is on Old Madame Yan’s condition. She has no energy to pamper him. She asks Tai Zheng Ting whether it is convenient for Tai Zheng Ting to take care of Ye Qing Guo. When Tai Zheng Ting agrees, then she just Ye Qing Guo to stay with Tai Zheng Ting for a while.

Ye Qing Guo has his own bodyguard so Ye Qing Xin doesn’t worry for his safety.

At 08:00 p.m, Old Madame Yan is conscious. She notices Ye Qing Xin and her eyes turn bright.

“Wai Po….” Ye Qing Xin speaks up, she notices her voice is trembling.

Old Madame Yan looks at her and smiles. “Before I dreamt about your Mama. She said that she misses me, she asked me to come and find her…..”

She is so calm like she has expected her time to end now.

“Wai Po…..” Ye Qing Xin is so sad, her tears start to fall down again.

“Stupid kid, don’t cry. Wai Po keeps on waiting for this day. Finally Wai Po can meet your Mama. You should be happy for me.”

But this matter indeed cannot make her happy, Ye Qing Xin’s tears are unstoppable. She bites her lips to try hard to control her sob

“You now have a good life, I am so relieved. When I meet your Ma, I can be worry-free.” Old Madame Yan looks at Jing Bo Yuan, who is standing behind Ye Qing Xin. “A Yuan ah, I hand over our Xin Xi to you. I’ll watch over you guys from the sky. You cannot let down Xin Xin.”

Jing Bo Yuan holds Ye Qing Xin’s shoulder. He nods. “Don’t worry.”

Old Madame Yan is saying her last words before she passes away. She raises up her hand toward Old Mister Yan. The ninety years old Old Mister Yan is crying like a little kid.

“Xiao Ge, this life being able to meet you, I’m very happy. If we meet again in next life, I will definitely give birth to a lot of children for you…”

Both of them only have Tong Yan. Mostly it is because Old Madame Yan, her health is not good. She had hard time to conceive. They got Yang Tong when she was thirty years old. Because of giving birth to Yan Tong, her health was worse than before. She cannot be pregnant anymore. Old Mister Yan is good toward her. He always be faithful to his marriage.

Old Mister Yan holds Old Madame Yan’s hand and sobs. He puts his head on her shoulder.

Old Madame Yan strokes his white hair and smiles. “Look at you, you are old and you still act like a little kid. When I’m gone, you should eat less salty food. Eat more healthy food. You always hate to drink herbal soup, in the future don’t be too stubborn.”

Ye Qing Xin leans on Jing Bo Yuan’s shoulder.

Jing Bo Yuan holds her and strokes her back.

“I’ll go first to find our daughter. I and she will wait for you to come. But don’t rush it, we can wait slowly. It’s okay….”

Old Madame Yan continues: “In the future, you should accompany Xin Xin more so then you can tell us things about Xin Xin.”

“Also about our Wai Zeng Sun Zi (The triplet), I and Tong Tong want to hear it.”

“I want to eat boiled stuffed shrimp meat dumpling.”

“I will go home and cook it for you. Wait for me.” Ye Qing Xin wipes her tears and holds Old Madame Yan’s hand.

Old Madame Yan nods. “Okay.”

This time it’s almost 09:00 p.m. Jing Bo Yuan drives the car and takes Ye Qing Xin to the supermarket first before going home. Ye Qing Xin cannot make a dumpling so she asks Auntie Chi’s for helping to direct her. She personally wraps the dumpling by herself.

The triplet are sleeping now so Ye Qing Xin can peacefully make the dumpling. She doesn’t ask for any hand to help her.

She is an amateur cook so her dumplings look bad.

Jing Bo Yuan knows what she thinks so he doesn’t intervene her.

The time she boils and the dumplings are done, she puts it inside a lunch box. Ye Qing Xin asks Jing Bo Yuan: “Tell me do I need to bring a bit of vinegar for Wai Po?”

She then turns silent.

She unexpectedly doesn’t know whether her Wai Po likes to eat dumplings with vinegar.

Both of them return to the hospital. It’s almost eleven o’clock. Old Madame Yan looks okay, she is sitting down while leaning on the bed.

Elders of Yan family are looking at her. Old Mister Yan doesn’t want to let anyone to disturb Old Madame Yan’s rest. So the room is empty when they arrive.

“Wai Po….” Ye Qing Xin tries to press down her bad feeling and smiles. She opens up the lunch box and says: “This is my first time to make dumplings, you should eat many.”

Old Madame Yan smiles: “Then I want to taste my Wai Sun Nu (granddaughter)’s cooking skill.

Jing Bo Yuan helps to take a small dining table and moves it closer to Old Madame Yan. Ye Qing Xin places all the things on the table and passes chopsticks for Old Madame Yan. “Wai Po, do you want any vinegar?”

“No need, I don’t like to eat sour food.” Old Madame Yan takes a dumpling and chews it. She smiles: “It tastes good. It’s the most delicious dumpling I have ever tasted.”

Perhaps it’s not because of the taste but because of Ye Qing Xin’s filial devotion for her.

Ye Qing Xin pours a glass of water for her: “If you like ti, then later on everyday I’ll make it for you. It’s no problem.”

Old Madame Yan finishes the dumplings and drinks the water. She yawns: “I feel sleepy now. It’s late right? You guys should go home and have a rest.”

Ye Qing Xin tidies up the table. Old Mister Yan helps Old Madame Yan to lay down.

“You and A Yuan should go home and rest. Tomorrow you guys need to work.” Old Madame Yan says.

“You just rest, no need to mind us.” Ye Qing Xin covers up Old Madame Yan’s body with a blanket.

Old Madame Yan is still on IV drip. With her serious illness, the last moment is painful for her. Hu Yi Sheng (Doctor Hu) prescribes her a pain relief.

Old Madame Yan closes her eyes and her breath quickly turns even. She is smiling like she is having a good dream.

Ye Qing Xin sits on the bedside and watches her. She doesn’t even dare to blink as she thinks that Old Madame Yan might be disappeared the moment she blinks.

The sickroom is peaceful. The nurse comes for a routine inspection once, then Hu Yi Sheng also comes once.

After a long time, Jing Bo Yuan looks at his wrist watch. It’s already past the midnight.

He stands up and enters the resting room. He takes out a thin bed and places it on the bed. He comes over and says to Ye Qing Xin and Old Mister Yan: “Wai Gong, you should go and have a rest at resting room. Xin Xin will also have a rest on the sofa. I’ll watch over her.”

Ye Qing Xin shakes her head. “I want to accompany Wai Po.” She then says to Old Mister Yan. “Wai Gong, go sleep. You are old, you cannot stay till late at night.”

Old Mister Yan is holding Old Madame Yan’s hand, he seems not paying attention to their words. He doesn’t move.

They persuade him for a while but all along Old Mister Yan doesn’t move. So both of them stop.

Everyone knows about Old Madame Yan’s condition.

After some time, Ye Qing Xin feels she cannot bear it anymore. She lays down on her head on Old Madame Yan’s bed.

She has a dream.

Inside the dream, she is in Yan family’s residence courtyard. The garden is full of blooming flowers. She is staggering and running in the garden. Suddenly she falls down. It’s too painful. She doesn’t know why but she cannot help but to cry. She doesn’t cry so loud then someone familiar, a very young married woman comes over and holds her up.

“Our Xin Xin is very brave, you are not afraid of pain, don’t cry….” That elegant woman is pampering her. Her voice is gentle and kind.

Ye Qing Xin is startled, she watches that woman for a moment and she just recognizes her as her Wai Po.

“Wai Po…” Ye Qing Xin speaks up. Her voice is so babyish.

“Ahyo, finally our Xin Xin is able to call Wai Po. Xin Xin is so good, call Wai Po once more…”

“Ma! Ma!” Far away, an unknown woman calls after her: “Ma, come here!”

Ye Qing Xin looks for the person, she faintly can see there are two person standing near the entrance of the mansion. But she cannot recognize them.

The young Old Madame Yan puts Ye Qing Xin down and pats her head. She says softly: “Wai Po has something to do so I need to leave. Xin Xin should be good at home okay.”

Ye Qing Xin feels panic, she wants to hold Old Madame Yan’s trouser leg. “Wai Po, don’t go!”

“Wai Po, don’t go!” Ye Qing Xin suddenly wakes up.

She doesn’t know how can she be on the sofa. She notices there are several nurses and doctor in the room.

“Shu Zhen ah….” Old Mister Yan is holding Old Madame Yan’s hand, his voice is trembling and full of heartache.

Ye Qing Xin is startled while still sitting on the sofa. For a moment, she cannot respond. Her heart is empty, his mind turns blank.

“Old Madame Yan is leaving in perfect serene. She doesn’t experience any pain. In her current condition, this is the best way for her to leave. The dead has passed. Please restrain your grief and accept the inevitable loss…” Hu Yi Sheng’s voice is soft.

Jing Bo Yuan comes over and hugs Ye Qing Xin. One of his han takes his phone to call someone to arrange all the funeral process for Old Madame Yan.

Ye Qing Xin starts to cry silently.

Old Madame Yan’s face is calm, she is smiling. She passes away in a calm way.

She doesn’t have any regret anymore so it’s quite good thing.

Because she is part of Yan family so the administration process is handled fat and well. They bring the body back to Yan family residence and the mourning hall in the house has been prepared in appropriate way. Yan family members also have gathered.

Since Old Madame Yan’s passing till now Ye Qing Xin and Old Mister Yan are still in a state that they cannot think rationally. They just let everything be handled by Jing Bo Yuan. Looking at everything is in good order makes her somewhat relieved.

She keeps on hearing everyone says “Jie Ai Shun Bian” (Please restrain your grief and accept the inevitable loss). She suddenly feels like she is experiencing the same moment as what she experienced during Zhou Qiao Qiao’s funeral.

“Xin Xin.” Dou Weir and Jing Suo Suo are coming together. They stand beside her.

“Xin Xin…..” Dou Weir doesn’t know how should she comfort Ye Qing Xin so she just holds her hand.

Ye Qing Xin is still so sad. She asks Dou Weir with a hoarse voice: “Why are you coming here?”

Dou Weir doesn’t conceal it. “I got a call form your Lao Gong (Husband). He said that your Wai Po has passed away. He asked me to come and accompany you. He even sent the car to pick me up.”

Dou Weir wipes Ye Qing Xin’s tears. “You have a Lao Gong, who loves you so much. Your Wai Po should pass in a relieved way.”

“Da Ge also says the same thing to me.” Jing Suo Suo says: “Before I just saw Yan Nai Nai, she is smiling. Xin Xin, you should be happy for her. Not everyone can pass away as peaceful as her.”

Yes it’s true. Zhou Qiao Qiao also passed away in sudden way, she should have a lot of regrets.

Ye Qing Xin tries to smile for a while.

Jing Bo Yuan is so busy, he tries to do everything personally. If someone doesn’t know that he is the deceased’s son-in-law, they will think that Jing Bo Yuan is the deceased’s biological son.

Ye Qing Xin often hears the comments from those around her. They said that Jing Bo Yuan has done an incredible job. They said Old Madame Yan is luck to have him, Ye Qing Xin is also lucky to have him as her husband.

Someone says judging a good man, you shouldn’t see what he does habitually but you should see how he handle thing in critical moment.

At nightfall, Song Xian Yu and Ji Lin Yuan come over. Jing Bo Yuan is taking a business cal. He recognizes Ji Lin Yuan’s car and finishes off his call. Then he greets both of them.

“Why are you guys here?”

Jing City has a custom that relatives and friends should come to offer their condolences the next day after the deceased placed on the mourning hall.

“Song Song knows that Yan Nai Nai passed away, she wants to see your wife.” Ji Lin Yuan holds Song Xian Yu’s hand.

Jing Bo Yuan points at the house. “She is inside. Sao Zi please go over and comfort her.”

Song Xian Yu nods and lets go of Ji Lin Yuan’s hand.

Ji Lin Yuan watches Song Xian Yu leave.

“These days you should go through hardships.”

Jing Bo Yuan just holds his phone. “I just do what I can do.”

Ji Lin Yuan pats Jing Bo Yuan’s shoulder.

“…… Yan Nai Nai definitely doesn’t hope you will be this sad.” Song Xian Yu comforts Ye Qing Xin.

She thinks that in this situation, no comforting action and word are effective.

Ye Qing Xin smiles and notices her big belly. “Thank you for coming here to visit me. Your belly is this big, you should go home earlier and have a rest.”

Song Xian Yu is thankful for Ye Qing Xin’s care. She holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and says: “Take care of yourself, mind your health.”

“I will.” Ye Qing Xin smiles.

“Si Biao Sao, just go home. Wai Po said that you are having a hard time when you are pregnant. Si Biao Ge will be stressed for you.”

Because of Song Xian Yu’s health, when she was pregnant with Ji Nian Yu, she had a hard time. Now she also has a hard time with the second pregnancy.

She knows her health clearly so she doesn’t be boastful. She says: “Then I’ll leave first. Take care Xin Xin.”

Ye Qing Xin nods.

Looking that Song Xian Yu is back, Ji Lin Yuan just says “excuse me” and leave the conversation. He comes to hold her.

“Are you tired?” He asks.

Song Xian Yu shakes her head. “It’s nothing.”

They both go to the entrance door to leave, they bump into Jing Xian Xian. Jing Xian Xian is paying a visit as a substitute for Old Madame Jing. She comes over to comfort Ye Qing Xin too. She doesn’t expect to bump into both Song Xian Yu and Ji Lin Yuan.

She notices Song Xian Yu’s bulging belly, she feels a bit of heart pain.

It’s been years but Jing Xian Xian still cannot throughly understand.

She tries to calm her feeling and smiles: “Si Ge, Si Sao, you are going home?”

Song Xian Yu nods and smiles. Ji Lin Yuan speaks up: “Em, we are going home.”

“Si Sao will give birth soon right? Congratulation.”

“Thank you.”

Jing Xian Xian smiles and lets them both leave.

Jing Xian Xian watches them leave and remembers Ji Lin Yuan’s words to her several years ago. “You are still young, we are incompatible.”

Jing Xian Xian is eleven years younger than Ji Lin Yuan, indeed there is a huge age difference between them. She thinks it’s the true reason.

Till he be with Song Xian Yu. A woman that is fifteen years younger than him. She just realizes and understands, it’s not a matter of compatible or incompatible but love and not love.

“Er Jie, why are you daydreaming?” Jing Suo Suo pulls back Jing Xian Xian’s from her mind.

Jing Xian Xian says: “Nothing.” She turns her head and asks: “Where is Xin Xin?”

“She is going to the restroom.” Jing Suo Suo looks at Jing Xian Xian. “Do you still thinking of Si Biao Ge? I saw you chat with them and daydreamed here.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Jing Xian Xian pinches both of Jing Suo Suo’s cheeks. Your Er Jie is someone that will marry soon. How can I have time to think of someone unimportant.”

“Ahya! It’s hurt hurt hurt!” Jing Suo Suo yells. “Let go, it’s too painful!”

After a while, Ye Qing Xin returns. Jing Xian Xian looks at Ye Qing Xin. “I’ll not fight with you, I have serious matter to do.”

Jing Suo Suo rubs her cheeks. She glares at Jing Xian Xian.

She doesn’t know why everyone likes to pinch her cheeks. Then suddenly her phone rings. She takes it out. The time she sees the caller ID, her mood turns happier.

She answers it and her voice turns lovely. “Cheng Da Ge…..”
