Chapter 41

Jing Bo Yuan returns to his own seat. Old Madame Jing is unable to wait and just asks him: “Who’s that little girl? Why you are protecting her? What is your relationship with her? Do you like her?”

She clicks her tongue and says: “It’s just she is a little bit young. She seems to be just twenty? Now you are thirty four years old. You are more than ten years older than her. Don’t know whether her parents will accept you, this old man....”

Suddenly she is even more explosive: “That’s why I tell you to marry early, but you don’t listen to me. Now it’s good, you are an old man, it’s strenuous to let you marry!”

Jing Bo Yuan: “.......”

Jing Si laughs: “Ma, now it’s not the same era anymore. Six or seven years ago, when you become adult, you so marry soon. But now there’s a lot of not-yet married man like A Yuan. You see He family, Cheng family, Xiao Family, all of there three successors, are in their thirty and still not yet married? You are too worried!”

Jing Fen Fen also says; “Grandma, even though you are rushing to want to have great grandson, but you should know what kind of granddaughter-in-law will you accept? Moreover that girl, her appearance and temper cannot be compared with Qing You!”

Jing Fen Fen is biological sister of Jing Suo Suo. This year she is 28 years old. She is in the same age as Yu Qing You. They are close.

Jing Si smiles: “Fen Fen, don’t say it that way. That girl I remember is Suo Suo’s classmate. Suo Suo is not here now. But she hears it supposedly she will fight with you.”

These both sister always find each other disagreeable.

Old Madame Jing says: “That Qing You, that foolish woman, she is waiting for you for these years. When will you decide to marry Qing You to be my granddaughter-in-law? I am waiting to have great grandson.”

Talking about great grandson, Old Madame Jing is too interested. Her both eyes turn bright: “Let me tell you guys, yesterday Xia family’s granddaughter-in-law gave birth, it’s twins of mixed sex! Ahyoo, both of them are so cute, it melts my heart......”

She says it and glares at Jing Bo Yuan.

Jing Bo Yuan: “......”

Old Mister Jing sits at his seat. He is a military person. Although he doesn’t say anything but his gaze shows clearly that he is supportive of Old Madame Jing’s words.

Now that a person old, he/she always wish to have grandkids.

Jing Zong pats his son’s shoulder and says sincere words and earnest wishes: “Your grandma is too rushing. But it’s not completely unreasonable. This year you are thirty four years old, the time I was at your age, you even already could play around. You should think about it.”

Jing Bo Yuan nods: “I know it, Pa.”

He then looks at Old Madame Yan’s table. He watches that Old Madame Yan is smiling happily and holding Ye Qing Xin’s hand. She keeps on talking. She seems to be genuinely likes Ye Qing Xin.

He looks at Ye Qing Xin’s hair and face. She is peaceful and beautiful.

He doesn’t expect that this little girl is so charming.

Ye Qing Xin also doesn’t expect it.

Old Madame Yan keeps on intimately holding her hand. It let her feel unease but looking at her happy face, she is sorry to refuse it.

“Xin Xin, what do you like to eat? Let grandma takes it for you?”

Old Madame Yan takes serving chopsticks and assumed a posture of wanting to take something for her.

How could Ye Qing Xin ask her to take it for her? She stops her quickly: “Let me do it. Old Madame Yan, no needs to be too caring to me. Really, hurry up sit down. If you do this, it’ll overwhelm me.”

Old Madame Yan’s chopsticks is taken by Ye Qing Xin. Old Madame Yan is displeased and says: “You saved this old person, how can I not allowed to help you take the food? Also don’t call me Old Madame Yan, call me Grandma.”

She remembers about Mrs Hong said before about Old Madame Yan’s only daughter and granddaughter’s miserable death. Her hair just changed to white at just one night....

She feels sad for her.

Then she says: “Grandma.”

Old Madame Yan’s eyes turn red and clutches Ye Qing Xin’s hand. “Ai!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Congrats, Gan Ma (Godmother), you have another granddaughter.”

That’s sentence come from Gu Xing De’s wife, Huang Wei Juan. She’s also Old Madame Yan’s Godson’s wife. She is fifty years old lady that is wearing gold color dress.

Ye Qing Xin smiles politely at her.

Huang Wei Juan’s face is full of smile, but looking at Ye Qing Xin, her eyes are cold. “Your name is really nice. I don’t know whether you know or not but our godmother’s also have a granddaughter, by a happy coincidence also called Xin Xin......”

Her explanation has signification.

“It’s just a pity that she is died early.” Huang Wei Juan wipes her tear, like she really sad about that kid’s death.

Old Madame Yan turns so sad because of it. She blames her: “Everything is in good condition now, why should you say this?”

Huang Wei Juan suddenly changes her expression, her eyes is full of thankfulness and raises her glass toward Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, let me give you a toast. Thank you for comforting godmother. In the future if you encounter any trouble, please tell me.”

Her acting is really good.

Ye Qing Xin bumps her glass light to hers. She says neither haughtily or humbly: “I don’t do anything. No need to be too polite to me. I’m the junior, I should be the one that toast you.”

A well-educated girl, Old Madame Yan likes her even more.

Huan Wei Juan’s eyes turn cold.

Seventeen years ago Yan Tong and her whole family had accident. There’s no one to inherit Yan family so they took Gu Xing De as their godson. So she, Huang Wei Juan, will be the future mistress of Yan family.

That year Old Mister Mu took Gu Xing De as his godson. It’s not guarantee that maybe now he will take another god-granddaughter from different family.

This girl somehow looks like Yan Tong. Maybe because of this Old Madame Yan will want to take her as her god-granddaughter. If it’s the case that maybe the family property will be divided.

How can she let this happen?

She should think of the way so this old lady will hate this little girl.....

The birthday party finally ends.

Old Madame Yan keeps on holding on Ye Qing Xin’s hand and is unwilling to let her go. She wants to invite her to come to her house.

Ye Qing Xin turns her down politely. She exchanges phone number with her. Then promises that she will visit her. Finally she let her though she is reluctant to part with her. Someone holds her hand and take her to leave.

Ye Qing Xin sighes.

“Old Madame Yan really likes you. You always can give people good surprises.”

Because of stained with Ye Qing Xin’s ray, Mrs Huo could sit down with Old Madame Yan in one table. So those rich women start to act politely at her.

Ye Qing Xin just stays quiet and doesn’t say anything.

Mrs Hong: “Let’s go. Let me send you back.”

“Wife.” Someone comes over.

Ye Qing Xin notices clearly the successful feeling from Mrs Hong’s eyes. Indeed the voice is from Mr Hong.

Mrs Hong apologizes and says to Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, you can go to the car first. I’ll come in a while.”

Ye Qing Xin nods and walks toward the parking area with her memory of Mr Hong’s car.

“Ye Qing Xin.” Suddenly someone calls after her.

It’s quite familiar.

Ye Qing Xin turns her body.

Yu Qing You stands under the light. She looks refined.

She smiles peacefully.

Ye Qing Xin also smiles back: “Ms Yu.”

Yu Qing You then says: “Do you have time? I want to treat you a glass of coffee.”

Her words sound to have complex motive.
