This year Shi Ying can be said to be so popular. She has acted in several movies and dramas, she gets a lot of favorable comment. Many popular variety shows also ask her to join them. Last month several international luxury brands invite her to be their brand amba.s.sador.
It seems someone is supporting her in the back.
He Ji Fan notices Ye Qing Xin’s gaze, he nods at her.
Ye Qing Xin just smiles and just says to Driver Lu. “Let’s leave.”
Driver Lu drives the car to leave the hospital. She notices near an unattractive car follows her.
She looks at it and notices it’s Ming Tian. Ming Tian always follows her to protect her. After what happened to Nian Nian, they notice that their ignorance for their safety. Jing Bo Yuan arranges several more people to take care for the kids so everyone will be worry-free.
“He family’s Xiao Shao Ye (Young master) seems to fall ill frequently.” Driver Lu says: “Few days ago my granddaughter was sick, I b.u.mped into He family Xiao Shao Ye. Today I saw him again, he seems to be so fragile.”
Most rich people raise their kids to be fragile.
“Madame He (He Ji Fan’s mother) spoils him too much. He Da Shao (He Ji Fan)’s father has no Di Di, he only has two other sisters. He Da Shao has a brother, who is still single and twenty years old. He Da Shao’s son should be very cherished.”
“You seem to really understand He family.”
“Everyone knows about this.”
Ye Qing Xin just arrives at Nan Shan mansion, her phone just rings.
She answers the call. It’s from Dou Weir. “Xin Xin, I buy several clothes for my Da Wai Sheng (nephew). I already sent it over, I think it’ll arrive in two days.
“They have enough clothes to wear, why did you buy it again.” Ye Qing Xin says helplessly.
“I see those are so cute, how can I not buy it for them.” Dou Weir laughs. “I might not be able to have kids. I want to give all my love for my own kids for my Da Wai Sheng.”
“Nonsense.”
“Okay, let’s not talk nonsense. I’ll have lunch now. I’ll hang up first.”
Today is 4th, the cla.s.s will start again on the 5th.
In the afternoon, Ye Qing Xin goes to the university to take her textbooks. She pa.s.ses by the sport grounds and b.u.mps into three women.
“Ay, isn’t that the grand innocent campus belle of B university. With just two months, you’ve changed a lot, you have given birth to your b*st*rd?”
Ye Qing Xin remembers the woman who speaks, it’s Duan Chu Chu. She uses to mingle with Qian Rong. The other two women are also Qian Rong’s friends.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t want to fight with them, she just looks at them and pa.s.ses by.
Duan Chu Chu blocks her path.
“I’m talking with you, are you deaf? Do you think you are so great to have a rich guy on your side? You just accompany man to sleep, what makes you so great.”
“Are we close with each other?” Ye Qing Xin asks.
Duan Chu Chu chokes.
Indeed they are not close with each other. They just meet each other several times. Qian Rong always says bad words about Ye Qing Xin, it makes several other girls be jealous of her.
Ye Qing Xin wants to pa.s.s by them.
Duan Chu Chu notices Ye Qing Xin’s flat expression, she feels unhappy and mocks: “You as Ma, is really a shameless one. You think you are so great to have little b*st*rd. Maybe in the future when she grows up, they will follow their Ma’s path.”
Ye Qing Xin stops walking and looks back. Her gaze is cold. “What are you talking about.”
Looking at how she responds, Duan Chu Chu mocks her again. “How is it, am I wrong? The kids will always follow their Ma’s path. A woman like you that always sleep a man for money. You supposedly will have that kind of kids….”
Pak!
It’s a clear slap. It stops Duan Chu Chu’s words. “You slap me? You dare to slap me!”
“Who do you think you are, you unexpectedly dare to slap me! I will fight with you!” Duan Chu Chu takes her bag and wants to charge over.
After thirty minutes.
At the dean’s office.
“It’s her that slapped Chu Chu first, dean. We were on the side, we watched clearly.”
“Dean, you should give Chu Chu’s fair solution, why can she slap anyone freely!”
Duan Chu Chu covers her face. During their fight before, she cannot do anything. Ye Qing Xin slapped her several times. Her face is hot and pain.
Ye Qing Xin just stands there without expression.
The dean looks at everyone. Ye Qing Xin and Bo Wei’s group are related. He knows about this. He also knows that this should be related to Ye Qing Xin’s pregnancy.
After a while silence.
He clears his throat, he asks Duan Chu Chu: “Tell me first, why did Ye Qing Xin slap you?”
“Everyone in the school knows that Ye Qing Xin has.. an affair with an old boss. She was pregnant. Now she came over with a flat stomach. I just had a good intention to remind her to pay attention to her conduct. If not it’ll make a bad influence to our junior. She slapped me.
Duan Chu Chu was simply turning things upside down.
The other two female students cooperate with her. No evidence so it’s only based on words.
“If she only talked about me, no matter how offensive it is I can control myself to not make fuss about it. But Duan Chu Chu used mean words to humiliate and scold my kids. I cannot bear it. Dean, you are a father too. You can understand the feeling of a parent. How can you tolerate anyone humiliate your kids.
The dean looks at Duan Chu Chu’s red face. “Ye Qing Xin’s words are true?”
“She is so shameless to be a mistress, she is not married yet but has kids. How can I not talk about her?” Duan Chu Chu is resentful. She doesn’t feel that she’s wrong.
Ye Qing Xin looks at her righteous face and suddenly doubts something.
The rumor indeed is known by a lot of people, no matter what is it about, she never makes an excuse or explains herself so after a while, it suddenly slows down.
Looking at Duan Chu Chu’s action now, it’s clear that everyone still keeps on talking about her.
“For the rumor about me. First, I don’t have an affair with an old married rich man. Second, I am not single while I was pregnant.” Ye Qing Xin looks at them. “This year I am twenty one years old. According to the law, I am in a legal age to get married. Our university also has no rule about a student’s private life. This year during the New Year’s Day I’ve registered my marriage.”
“B university has a good track record and long-standing history. It has the most excellent quality of students in the country. I don’t think an excellent student is the one that only has good marks, but also the one that has good judging skills. Someone that has no views of one’s own is the stupidest one.”
“Because of someone’s words, you are hostile toward me. You used several bad words to talk about my one-month old babies. You cannot make distinction between right and wrong. You are malicious. It’s a waste for you to be here. You are not suitable to B university’s student.
Her words are brilliant.
Duan Chu Chu is startled. She is so furious and wants to attack back.
“Okay.” The dean cuts her off. He says: “You guys are almost graduated, yet you still to fight. Perhaps you want me to give you a note in your graduation certificate?”
He is threatening them.
Duan Chu Chu shuts up.
The dean then says: “Ye Qing Xin is wrong to hit someone, Duan Chu Chu is wrong too to swear at people. You guys go home and make a two-thousand long reflection for what you have done. Tomorrow morning send it to me.”
Everyone is punished.
“Why should I do it?” Duan Chu Chu is unhappy.
“Then four thousand, hand-written.”
“Dean…”
“Six thousand.”
“…”
Duan Chu Chu returns to her dorm while covering her face. She sits down and Qian Rong comes over to take a look at her. “I heard that you fought with Ye Qing Xin at sport field? What happened?”
Duan Chu Chu looks at the mirror, she says angrily: “She hit me. She is skinny but she is quite strong. It’s too painful. I also need to write six thousand handwritten reflection.”
Qian Rong sits down beside her, “Why did she hit you?”
“I just couldn’t control to talk about her when I saw her.” She suddenly remembers about Ye Qing Xin’s words about her marriage. Duan Chu Chu looks at Qian Rong. “Ye Qing Xin said that she has registered her marriage in New Year’s Day. Is it real? Didn’t you say that she has an affair with rich old boss?”
“I also heard it from other people.” Qian Rong answers. “But she said that she is married and you just believe her? You are too easy to be deceived.”
“That’s right. She is a greedy fake woman. If she is married to a rich boss, supposedly she will show it off.” Duan Chu Chu looks at her swollen red face on the mirror. “This several slaps, I’ll find a way to give it back to her!”
Jing Bo Yuan gets a call about the fight between his young wife and other student when he just comes out fo the meeting room.
“Thank you, Dean Jin. Later on I’ll talk to her about it.”
“You are too courteous. It’s normal for kids right now to fight. Don’t criticize her severely about this, Chief Jing.” The dean smiles.
The call ends.
Jing Bo Yuan is a famous figure in B university, he keeps on donating a huge sum of money for the school. The dean has no chance to interact with him before. Now finally he gets a chance to talk with him.
At night 07:00 p.m.
He arrives at home.
The little guys are not sleeping yet, they are playing with three elders downstair in the living room.
“Have you eaten your dinner?” Old Madame Jing asks Jing Bo Yuan with care.
“I’ve eaten, where is Xin Xin?”
“She is in the study room. She seems to be writing something.”
Jing Bo Yuan takes off his suit and pa.s.ses it to Auntie Zhang, he gos upstair.
He opens the door and looks that Ye Qing Xin is typing something on her laptop.
Ye Qing Xin hears the noise and lifts up her head to see who is it. Her eyes turns bright when she notices that is her husband. “You are early today. Didn’t you say that you’ll have business dinner tonight?”
“I temporarily postpone it.” Jing Bo Yuan rolls up his sleeve. “What are you doing?”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t dare to look at his eyes. She just closes her laptop: “Nothing.”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t force her to give him a look. He just walks to to the sofa and sits down.
Ye Qing Xin is relieved.
At school, she is a good student that always shows a great att.i.tude. This is the first time for her to be punished. She is embarra.s.sed to tell him about her fight.
“Aren’t you going to shower?” Ye Qing Xin wants to kick him out of here.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and smiles. “It’s still seven o’clock. I’m not in a rush mode.”
Ye Qing Xin just thinks about her punishment. She actually has finished it, she only has few words left. She opens her laptop again to see whether she typed wrong words. Then she just saves it to the USB. Tomorrow she will print it at school.
Jing Bo Yuan is sitting down there and closing his eyes. He looks tired.
Ye Qing Xin looks at him, she just remembers that today he got up around 3 a.m. He had meeting outside the city. In the afternoon, he rushed back to Jing City again.
Ye Qing Xin comes over and sits down beside him. She holds his hand. “If you tired, just go take a shower and have a rest.”
He suddenly opens hr eyes and looks at her with his gentle eyes.
“Are you done with your punishment?”
“……” Ye Qing Xin is shocked: “You know about it?”
She just realizes that it should be Ming Tian. She follows her everywhere. That time she should watch her fight with Duan Chu Chu. Ming Tian wanted to come out and help her but Ye Qing Xin asked her to stop with her eyes.
Supposedly Ming Tian is the one that told him, she forgot to tell Ming Tian to not tell Jing Bo Yuan about it.
Jing Bo Yuan strokes her hair and places her head on his shoulder. He says: “You have Ming Tian, why did you fight her by yourself?”
“……” Is he teaching her how to give a lesson to someone else?
“At first I didn’t want to mind her, but her words were getting even harsher. She said bad things about our babies.”
Jing Bo Yuan says nothing.
Ye Qing Xin turns silence for a while, and says: “Oh right, the babies need to be registered in our permanent residence list. They still have no formal name. I’ve been thinking about it, I haven’t found the one that I like, do you have any suggestion about it?”
Jing Bo Yuan is about to say something and Ye Qing Xin suddenly stands up. “Wait.”
She takes a paper and pen, she pa.s.ses it to him. “Write it down.”
Jing Bo Yuan takes it and writes it.
His strokes of characters are beautiful and firm.
He puts the pen down and pa.s.ses the paper to her. There are six words.
“Huai Jin, Wo Yu, Mu Ye”
Huai Jin Wo Yu draws a hope that a person should posses a pure and n.o.ble moral character.
Mu Ye……….. ( 慕叶）
