Chapter 89

She just laughs awkwardly and looks at Jing Bo Yuan. She notices he is looking at her, while his lips crooks up. Her face is red and she just leaves.

Driver Lu is waiting for her at the lobby.

Now it’s six thirty in the morning, there’s a bit of time before the peak hour.

After half an hour, she arrives at B university.

Ye Qing Xin gets off the car and notices Dou Weir is waiting for taxi.

She is wearing a light blue elegant long skirt, her hair is wavy, she also wears a light makeup. She also wears a pearl ear-cuff.

Ye Qing Xin is startled with it.

She comes over.

“Weir, the class will start soon. Where are you going?”

She smiles and asks her.

Dou Weir just looks at her and turns her head. She doesn’t say anything.

Ye Qing Xin stays with her for a while, a taxi stops in front of them. Dou Weir just gets inside the car and leaves.

Ye Qing Xin then goes to her class.

That afternoon, Dou Weir doesn’t go back.

Ye Qing Xin asks Jing Suo Suo about it, Jing Suo Suo says that she doesn’t know anything. She just tells her that last night Dou Weir answered a call and started to choose her outfit.......

Probably she is meeting with someone important.

But she notices something is wrong with Jing Suo Suo’s gaze. She should know something.

It’s just Ye Qing Xin feels it’s not good to ask when she doesn’t willing to share.

Dou Weir was nervous the whole night. The first thing she did after she woke up was dressing up. At first she wanted to wear the low-cut dress but she suddenly remembered what happened during the Bo Wei’s anniversary so she gave it up. She chose the more conservative one.

She goes t the hospital to meet Jing Bo Yuan.

The time she arrives, it’s not yet eight o’clock.

She stays at the lobby and waits for an hour. At nine o’clock, she dial that unknown number.

“Chief Jing, I don’t have elevator card, I cannot go up?”

“Wait.” His tone is cold.

Dou Weir is startled, she is somewhat depressed.

She just stays in front of the elevator and waits.

After ten minutes, the elevator opens. A fifty years old maid smiles and asks her: “Excuse me, are you Ms Dou?”

Dou Weir smiles and nods.

She follows her to go up.

At the sickroom.

Jing Bo Yuan is wearing his white shirt and sitting down on the bed. He is reading his paper.

Dou Weir is terrified when she sees him.

It’s clear that she wants to meet him, but the time she meets him, she starts to cower.

She bits her lips and comes over: “Chief Jing.”

Jing Bo Yuan raises his head and nods: “Sit down.”

Dou Weir sits down at the sofa.

Jing Bo Yuan puts down his pen and closes his folder. He looks at her.

“If you have something to say then say it.”

Dou Weir looks at the two maids.

Jing Bo Yuan just says: “Just say it directly, they are no harm.”

Dou Weir lowers her head and clenches her fist.

She says: “Chief Jing, two months ago at Mu Dan Hua Xia, why did you help me? Why did you help then give me work? Is it because I’m only Suo Suo’s roommate? It’s not because.. you have.... impression to me?”

At first she wants to ask, whether Jing Bo Yuan has feeling toward her.

But at last she just changes her wording.

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her, he is calm. I helped you not because you are Suo Suo’s roommate.”

Dou Weir is happy, her heart beats quickly: “Then why?”

Jing Bo Yuan just says expressionlessly: “I helped you, not because of you. But because I don’t hope that Xin Xin has a friend that mingles with nightlife. Your bad might influences her.”

Dou Weir turns cold.

Her lips tremble: “Then that night, you treated me and Xin Xin for a midnight snack, it’s also because of Xin Xin?”

Jing Bo Yuan says honestly: “Em.”

So that’s how it is.

Dou Weir’s tears fall down. She smiles and she seems to laugh at herself.

She is so naive that she thinks that he has feeling toward her.

She doesn’t expect that she is too stupid.

“Chief Jing....” Dou Weir still has confusion. “I and Xin Xin know you at the same time. I am not uglier than her. Our grades are not too different. We even have similar family condition, why, why you only act kind t her?”

Jing Bo Yuan thinks of a memory.

He and Ye Qing Xin already know each other since fourteen years ago.

It’s just she seems to forget him.

Very quickly he regains himself.

He doesn’t answer Dou Weir, but he says: “I already answer your question. Now tell me your condition. I don’t wish that Xin Xin be unhappy because the problem between you guys. Even though you cannot be her friend, at least you can just meet her.”

Dou Weir smiles.

“Could it be that in your eyes, I am a greedy woman, that without benefit, I’ll not reconcile with Xin Xin?”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything, he just looks at her.

Dou Weir is shocked.

Is this Jing Bo Yuan want to explode his rage?

She raises her hand to fix her hair. She feels somewhat panic. She doesn’t pay attention that something falls down from her ear to the sofa.

Her eyes are red. Her appearance will melt any man that sees it, but Jing Bo Yuan keeps his calm.

She laughs: “If you really want something for me, then just give me money. I am lack of money.”

Jing Bo Yuan just says coldly: “How much.”

Dou Weir considers for a while.

Her Shu Shu (uncle) Shen Shen (Auntie) want to buy a house for their son, with decoration fee, it probably be four hundred thousand.

She already sent some money home.

“Five hundred thousand.” She says.

She should ask more just in case they ask for more.

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything, he just takes out her bank cheque and signs it. He passes to his maid. The maid passes to Dou Weir.

After Dou Weir leaves, Jing Bo Yuan lifts his blanket, he wants to go to the restroom.

The maids comes over hurriedly to help her.

Jing Bo Yuan suddenly remembers Ye Qing Xin’s words this morning to two bodyguards. He laughs lightly and says coldly: “Come here you guys.”

Dou Weir comes out from the hospital. The sun is so bright that it hurts her eyes.

She raises the cheque.

Five hundred thousand comes so easy, is it count as she is infected by Xin Xin’s luck?

Xin Xin, you are luckier than me.

Jing Bo Yuan for you, he can do anything in anyway. He even spends money to buy your friendship.

Dou Weir takes out her phone and notices it’s already ten o’clock.

She takes the taxi and goes to the bank. She moves the money to her account. Then she goes to a luxury hotel. She doesn’t care about the price and just orders a table full of dishes and also orders a several bottles of over ten thousand Bordeaux.

She drinks a bottle and her face turns red.

She looks at the time now it’s eleven forty. It’s the time the class ends.

She dials Ye Qing Xin’s number.

This time Ye Qing Xin is on her way to go to the car. Driver Lu is waiting to pick her up.

Her phone rings.

She stops and looks at the phone. Without her expectation, it’s Dou Weir’s call.

She feels happy and answers it.

“Weir! Where did you? You weren’t attending class also not asking for a day off. The professor asked about you, I helped you to make an excuse....”

“Xin Xin.....” Dou Weir cuts her off and says, “I’m sorry...”

Ye Qing Xin is startled: “Weir...”

“I’m sorry Xin Xin. I shouldn’t envy you because you get what I don’t get. But I couldn’t accept it. I just be envious at you because you can get what I want. Xin Xin, I’m sorry. We still be best friends, okay?”

“Weir, are you drunk? Where are you?”

“I’m okay. I’m having a party with a friend. Don’t worry. I just a bit. I just drank a glass. Really..... Xin Xin, I’ll hang up first. Don’t worry about me. I’m okay. Really. Bye bye...”

She just hangs up without waiting for Ye Qing Xin’s response.

Although she doesn’t understand why Dou Weir suddenly changes her mind and apologizes to her, but she couldn’t deny that she is happy.

Driver Lu notices Ye Qing Xin’s figure and opens the door.

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Thank you, Driver Lu.” Then she gets on the car.

Driver Lu smiles: “It’s my duty.”

After half an hour, Ye Qing Xin gets inside Jing Bo Yuan’s room.

It’s just the time she get inside, she noticed Luo Feng, whose head is wrapped with thick gauze and his left arm and leg are in plaster cast. He stands in front of Jing Bo Yuan’s bed.

Behind Luo Feng, there’s around thirty years old woman.

Old Madame Jing and Old Mister Jing are sitting down on the sofa. Their faces are dark.

Ye Qing Xin is startled.

What happened?

She hasn’t asked and Old Madame Jing just waves at her: “Xin Xin, come here, come and meet you Ye Ye (grandpa).”

Ye Qing Xin: “........”

She comes over and bows politely at Old Mister Jing: “Jing Ye Ye , hi. I am Ye Qing Xin.”

Old Mister Jing just returns from gathering with his comrades, it’s his first time to meet her.

His eyes are like a hawk, it’s sharp and fierce. He is examining Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin looks at him, she doesn’t cower under his gaze.

The next moment.

Old Mister Jing just nods at her and “Em.”

Old Madame Jing corrects her: “Xin Xin, why you always be so estranged? Just call him Ye Ye!”

Ye Qing Xin: “.......”

Old Madame Jing insists: “Call him that way, why are you startled?”

Ye Qing Xin purses her lips and smiles. She looks at Old Mister JIng and calls him sweetly: “Ye ye.”

Old Mister Jing just replies “em!”

He looks happy too.

Old Madame Jing is not too happy with his attitude, she raises her hand to beat him with her fist. She is unhappy; “old man, your granddaughter-in-law is greeting you, what’s up with your attitude? You still think that you are soldier!”

Old Mister Jing is not happy too: “What are you doing? Why are you attacking me in front of the kids? What a scandal!”

“Hmphh! So what? Who let you be so rude to my granddaughter-in-law?”

“You...!” Old Mister Jing is furious and wants to leave: “Unreasonable!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Ay, old man tell me, who is unreasonable? You are the unreasonable one!” Old Madame Jing chases after him, they starts to argue.

Ye Qing Xin; “........”

She looks at Jing Bo Yuan: “Why don’t you try to persuade them to stop?”

Jing Bo Yuan: “It’s okay. They always act that way, you will get used to it.”

Ye Qing Xin: “.....”

She looks at Luo Feng and the woman. She is confused: “Assistant Luo, you......”

Luo Feng explains himself. His words are full of self-blame and regret: “Chief Jing was in accident because of my mistake. That day the time we came out from the airport, I was the one that drive the car. That time I was in fight with my wife. I was not concentrated and bumped the car to the other car.”

“Chief Jing, please punish me, if not this life time, I cannot be relieved....”

Ye Qing Xin just realizes.

No wonder these two days Jing Bo Yuan is hospitalized, she didn’t see Luo Feng. So it turns out he is also injured.

Looking at Luo Feng’s condition, it’s clearly that his injury is worse than Jing Bo Yuan.

Then the one behind him should be his wife.

Ye Qing Xin stands beside Jing Bo Yuan.

Jing Bo Yuan looks at Luo Feng. He says calmly: “that time you already do the most favorable action for me, you can let it go.”

Luo Feng keeps on insisting: “But if I was focus, you will not be injured. Please punish me!”

Jing Bo Yuan is silent and say silently: “Then I’ll cut your half-year wage. Next time don’t bring your private matter to the work.”

Luo Feng says: “Yes!”

Then he and his wife go back to the room.

After they leave, Jing Bo Yuan notices Ye Qing Xin’s smile and he clutches her hand: “You seem so happy, is there anything that make you happy?”

Ye Qing Xin smiles. She opens their lunch box and says: “Nothing really great. I was in fight with one friend, but we are good now. So I’m very happy.”

Jing Bo Yuan pinches her cheek lightly: “In the future if you have some problems, you can tell me. Don’t just keep it in your heart, okay?”

She blushes and nods.

They both eats their lunch.

Then Ye Qing Xin helps Jing Bo Yuan to go to the restroom and helps her to walk around the room to help the digestion. It’s not good to keep on sitting down.

Around twelve forty, she asks Jing Bo Yuan to have afternoon sleep.

She sleeps on the sofa too.

When she carries the blanket to the sofa, she notices something on it.

She takes it and recognizes it. It’s the pearl ear cuff like the one Dou Weir has.

Suddenly she remembers what Jing Suo Suo said, Dou Weir didn’t come to the class today for meeting someone important.

Moreover today, she dressed up prettily.......

She clutches the ear cuff and looks at Jing Bo Yuan. “Bo Yuan....”

“Em?”

“This morning did you have any guest?”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her but he cannot guess her feeling.

He just asks again: “Why are you asking that?”

Ye Qing Xin just smiles and shakes her head: “It’s okay, I just ask randomly.”

She then puts back the blanket on the shelf: “Bo Yuan, I suddenly think of something, I need to go back to the university first. I’ll come back at night.”

She doesn’t wait for Jing Bo Yuan’s reaction, she just picks her bag and leaves.

The time she goes down, Driver Lu already waits for her on the lobby.

Ye Qing Xin is startled: “Why are you here?”

Driver Lu replies with a smile: “Before Mr Jing called me that you will use the car so he asked me to take you.”

Ye Qing Xin hugs the handle of her bag and bits her lips a bit. She smiles: “I’m sorry to trouble you.”

After an hour, she arrives at university.

She notices there’s no Dou Weir in the room. Both Qian Rong and Jing Suo Suo are napping.

She takes out her phone and calls her three times, but it’s unanswered.

She looks at the ear cuff on her grip.

She then stands in front of the window to let the wind blow her head to make it clearer.

She returns and puts the pearl ear cuff back to Dou Weir’s cupboard.

She looks calm and rational.

Dou Weir doesn’t return for their afternoon class too.

Between the classes, Ye Qing Xin wants to call her, but at last she doesn’t call.
