Chapter 221

After the dinner, Jing Suo Suo pulls Ye Qing Xin to the sofa to enjoy the Spring Festival Gala Evening.

Several men goes to the small living room to chat. Jing Xian Xian and Jing Fen Fen go upstair. Old Madame Jing takes Ji Yi and He Su E and Jing Si to wrap dumpling in the kitchen.

Ye Lin takes Ye Qing Guo outside to play with fire crackers. The maids are watching them.

In Jing City, they have custom to stay up late for the New Year. They shouldn’t sleep before it passes 12 P.M.

Jing Suo Suo’s phone keeps on ringing. It’s all about New Years greeting. Ye Qing Xin’s phone also keeps on ringing.

She looks at it and thinks of an idea. She makes a short message for him.

– I wish we will stay like this for years and ages.

Then she sends it to him.

Ye Qing Xin knows that Jing Bo Yuan is chatting with Jing Zong and friends. She doesn’t hope that he will reply. But suddenly her phone rings again. She opens it. It’s from Jing Bo Yuan.

– As you wish.

“What are you reading? You are so happy.” Jing Suo Suo turns her head and looks at Ye Qing Xin’s happy face. She comes closer and wants to take a look.

Ye Qing Xin is quick, she puts her phone away: “nothing.”

Jing Suo Suo already has a peek. She looks at her: “You guys are too much. You guys are in the same house and you still send message to each other?”

Ye Qing Xin laughs.

It’s almost eleven o’clock. Old Madame Jing let the maid sends a glass of warm milk and sweets for Ye Qing Xin.

Jing Suo Suo looks at it and covers up her chest: “Nai Nai is too bias, she likes you too much. I also sit down right here, unexpectedly she just ordered these for you.....”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “You can take it.

Jing Suo Suo snorts coldly: “A noble man will not take a food handed out with contempt.”

Ye Qing Xin: “......”

She eats two slices of chestnut cake and finishes the warm milk: “Let’s go to the kitchen and helps out to wrap the dumpling.”

Jing Suo Suo shakes her head: “I’ll not go.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Qing Xin just walks toward the kitchen.

In front of the door of the kitchen, she hears Old Madame Jing’s voice: “If you guys know a suitable woman for Lao Er, you should introduce her to him. He is fifty years old man. He shouldn’t be single for whole his lifetime. He should have someone to stay beside him.”

Jing Si says: “You know about Er Ge’s temper, he cannot change easily. That year he was in love with that woman so hard.”

Ji Yi: “I think Xiao Xi is good. I heard these years she also stays unmarried. She takes care of the cat that Er Ge gave her for twenty years. This year she is forty years old. If Er Ge gets married to her and they both work hard, maybe they will have kid.”

This makes Old Madame Jing’s heart turns happy: “Tomorrow several families will gather, call Xiao Xi to let her join too. I will be responsible to make sure Lao Er come. I will not let him make excuse.”

After a while, Old Madame Jing says again: “I am really old. The older a person is, she will regret a lot of things. I regret that I didn’t agree for him to marry to that woman. If I did, maybe he will have a family now....” She continues: “I hid it. I forced that woman to have abortion. I took her to the hospital.... the first time I did it, I kept on having a bad dream. I dreamt that kid come to find me, asked me why I didn’t want it. It said that I will get my judgement. Xin Xin’s twins are gone, was it God’s punishment for me?”

“Ma, what nonsense are you talking about? It’s New Year. Xin Xin’s kids were dead because of Yu Qing You. It’s unrelated to you.” Ji Yi says: “Tomorrow morning I’ll call Xiao Xi. I will definitely help you to make the wedding happens, don’t be sad...”

Ye Qing Xin stands there for a while and doesn’t get in at the last.

She thinks Xiao Xi should be Wen Ren Xi. The one that was forced to have abortion should be the hostess that Jing Suo Suo said.

Ye Qing Xin walks toward the small living room.

The door isn’t close. She could hear the men’s laughter and voice.

There’s also sound of fireworks outside.

She could see from the open door that Jing Bo Yuan is sitting down on the sofa. Except Jing Bo Yuan and Old Mister Jing, the other four men are smoking.

She is hesitating whether to get it or not. But suddenly there’s a crying voice: “Jie Jie! Woooh.... Jie Jie!”

Ye Qing Guo is crying loudly.

Ye Qing Xin is surprised and runs outside. Ye Qing Guo stands outside and raises up one of his injured hand.

“Why are you startling? Hurry up call the doctor!” Old Madame Jing orders the maid. “Take the first aid box now. Stop the bleeding first.”

Ye Qing Xin takes Ye Qing Guo inside the house.

Ye Qing Xin treats the injury carefully. He is injured because of firecrackers. Ye Qing Xin’s turn teary.

Jing Bo Yuan takes the swab from her hand: “Let me do it.”

Ye Qing Xin nods and stands up. She lets Jing Bo Yuan sits down.

She doesn’t know whether he is doing in purpose or not, Jing Bo Yuan positions himself in such way that Ye Qing Xin cannot see Ye Qing Guo.

Ye Qing Guo is in pain, he tries to curl up his hand.

“Don’t move.” Jing Bo Yuan says softly.

This time, the maid comes back: “Old Madame, Doctor Chu and Doctor Hong are not in Jing CIty.”

Ji Yi says: “I forgot about it. This afternoon both of them called and said that they will go back to celebrate the New Year. I thought you are well so I didn’t force them to stay.”

“Call Xiao Yu, let him arranges a doctor to come over.” Old Madame Jing says. But Jing Bo Yuan stands up and says: “I’ll take him to the hospital.”

He says it and holds Ye Qing Guo’s arm to stand up.

Ye Qing Xin also stands up: “I’ll go too.”

Old Madame Jing is worried: “Let A Yuan go alone. You are pregnant, you shouldn’t be too tired.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Jing Bo Yuan.

Jing Bo Yuan notices that she really wants to go. “Let her go with us. I will take care of her.”

On the way to the hospital, Ye Qing Guo cries tragically.

“How can you be so careless?” Ye Qing Xin raises up his hand. His wrapped injury has turned red.

Ye Qing Guo sobs continuously: “I hadn’t thrown it and ..... it’s just “pak”!”

Ye Qing Xin understands his words. He lighted it on and didn’t throw it on time and it’s just exploded.

“In the future don’t play with dangerous thing, okay?’ Ye Qing Xin blames herself too. Xiao Guo never played with that thing. She thought that someone watched them and everything would be alright. She didn’t stop him from playing.

Ye Qing Guo shakes his head and cries; “I’ll not.”

“Don’t cry again. We will arrive soon. It’ll not hurt anymore.”

After twenty minutes, they all arrive at the hospital.

At the emergency room, the doctor checks on Ye Qing Guo. It doesn’t hurt his bone or muscle. Ye Qing Xin is relieved.

The doctor wraps his injury once again and injects something for him.

Jing Bo Yuan takes care of all things and she just waits in the waiting room.

“It’s the third time right? Is her body unhealthy? Every time the fetus stops developing and needs to be removed. I heard from Doctor Yao, her wall of uterus has became so thin. After this, she might not able to have kid again.”

There’re few people in the hospital today. Ye Qing Xin just sits on the corner and watches at the nurses, who are chatting.

“That diagnosis is just for public, let me tell you. I accidentally heard Lou Xian Sheng said to Lou Tai Tai (Yu Qing You) that the kid inside Lou Tai Tai’s belly is not his. As long she has aborted it, he will not make fuss about it. How can that man be so loving, how can he still accept her after the affair.”
