Chapter 472
Dou Weir comes out Nan Shan mansion and gets a call from He Ji Fan. He is asking when she will be home. He wants to pick her up.
“I’m on my way.”
“Okay, drive safely. I’m done here too. I’m going home now.”
Both of them return to the Nan Shan mansion. He Ji Fan’s whole body is full of alcoholic smell. His eyes are a bit red. Dou Weir pours a gla.s.s of water for him. “In the future don’t drink too much alcohol.”
He Ji Fan’s eyes are soft and gentle, he holds her hand. “I don’t eat too much.” He says: “Tomorrow I’ll go to Shanghai, I’ll be back in few days.”
“Business trip?”
“You could consider it as business trip.” He Ji Fan gets a news from Shanghai. His gaze turns dark. His ‘good’ father unexpectedly brings his mistress and illegitimate child to ‘parade himself ostentatiously about town’.
Dou Weir doesn’t ask too much.
The next morning, He Ji Fan’s a.s.sistant comes to pick He Ji Fan up.
At 09:00 a.m., Dou Weir gets a call from her manager. They are discussing work-related matters. At the afternoon, Dou Weir is about to prepare her lunch. But someone comes over to send food for her. He says that the food is from He Zong (Director He).
Then she goes to meet Jing Suo Suo at the shopping mall.
“This? No no, this is too exposed. It’s like I wear nothing.” Jing Suo Suo glares at Dou Weir, who is holding that lingerie. It’s better to let her to die than wear this lingerie.
“There’s a coat for this too?” Dou Weri feels that this lingerie is great. It’s s.e.xy but cute. It’s quite compatible for Jing Suo Suo’s personality. She narrows her eyes and looks at Jing Suo Suo’s small face.
“But it’s a transparent coat. It looks like I wear nothing?” Jing Suo Suo’s face turns red. This is too shameful to wear this kind of clothing. No No, No, she cannot do it.
“What about this one?”
Jing Suo Suo cannot endure it anymore: “It’s not as good as before. Perhaps I cannot wear these?”
“You should choose by yourself.” Dou Weir hangs it back.
Jing Suo Suo strolls around and points at a lingerie that is quite simple.
Dou Weir rolls her eyes. “Why should torment me when you want to wear something like this? Your hot pants are even provoking than this one.”
Jing Suo Suo smiles: “It’s not the same. If not, that time I will not wear a coat.”
“You want this one?” Dou Weir doesn’t like the piece that Jing Suo Suo likes.
Jing Suo Suo: “I am afraid if I wear the one you ask me and it’s failing, I’m afraid Cheng Da Ge will beat me up.”
“You should grow up!” Dou Weir looks at her. “Forget it, anyway you will be the one who wears it. You should wear the one that you like.”
“Have you invited him?” Dou Weir asks.
Jing Suo Suo: “ “This Sat.u.r.day, Cheng Da ge will go to another city to attend a conference. He said that he will take me out to play around. We will stay over there for a night.”
“Then I should wish you good luck. But you need to remember to not get pregnant before getting married. Remember to wear c*nd*m that time.”
Jing Suo Suo is startled a bit and then blushes: “Could you be more conservative?”
“We are adults, why should we feel shy about this?”
….
At night, Dou Weir looks at her phone. There’s no message or phone. She puts down her phone and goes to take a shower. She dries her hair and comes out of the bathroom, yet her phone is not ringing even once.
She takes her phone and sits down on her bed. She opens up her Weibo and notices that the two photos of Jing Suo Suo and Cheng Ru Yu having dinner. Dou Weir is a bit jealous of Jing Suo Suo’s free life. She is different from her. Most of her social media is full of her work, she rarely posts her private lives.
At 08:00 p.m., finally she cannot bear it anymore, she dials He Ji Fan’s phone.
After a while, it’s answered. But before Dou Weir says anything, He Ji Fan just says: “I have something to do right now, I’ll call you later.”
Then he just hangs up.
Dou Weir is startled.
On the other side, at the Shang Hai’s Vienna Hotel.
Mo Rui is watching He Ji Fan, who is standing near the window and answering her phone. She feels unease.
When outsiders meet He Ji Fan, they would think that he is casual and sloppy, but his employees and those are working with him knows that he is not someone that is easily convinced.
He Ji Fan puts his phone back to his pocket and comes over to the sofa to sit down.
He Zhang Ju is joining Wu Zu Cheng’s night party. At first he wanted to take Mo Rui as his secretary, but Mo Rui is worried for Yang Yang so she doesn’t go with him. She doesn’t expect to meet this unexpected guest.
He Ji Fan drinks that serves by Mo Rui and drinks it slowly. The atmosphere is a bit weird. At last Mo Rui speaks up: “He Zong (Chief He) if you have something to say, please say it now.”
He Ji Fan smiles lightly: “What I want to say, you should know it clearly.”
“Please say it clearly.”
“My mother doesn’t come from a family like Jing family but in Jing City, there are only few people that dare to offend my family. My mother is the youngest daughter of Chen family. She always be spoilt by her three Ge Ge (older brother), nine cousins. If someone dares to bully my mother, they will find a way to let that man die. My Pa is treating you and your son well. Your illegitimate child is big now. Why doesn’t my Pa bring him home?”
Mo Rui clutches her skirt, she bites her lips.
“It’s because he doesn’t dare.” He Ji Fan sneers: “If my Ma knows about this, I guarantee that he will be hospitalized for a year. This lifetime he will not meet you again, do you believe me?”
Mo Rui’s face changes.
He Ji Fan notices it: “I know, you are not resigned to not having any status or part. You should hope that your son to not live in the darkness forever, but you should now that the more you want, the more you will lose.”
Mo Rui: “I don’t think that way. I’m happy for my current life, I am satisfied with it.”
“Really?” He Ji Fan lights up his cigarette: “You should know about it clearly. I think you understand my mother’s temper too. With all the siblings that my Ma has, I think you and your nine years old son will not live well. So let me warn you, if you want to live here peacefully, then behave yourself. Don’t think that if you play tricks, you could change the black to white.”
“Also, starting from today, you should control your meeting with my Pa. For a month, you could just meet him three times. Every meeting, you should not meet him more than an hour.” He Ji Fan smokes and says: “If you violate this…. oh, right. Your son attends w.a.n.g Fu International School right? He is on the second grade right? The security system there is very good, but what if there’s an accident, right?”
“If there’s an accident, as his Ge Ge I will not able to accept it.”
“You…..” Mo Rui’s face changes drastically, “He is your Di Di too, how coudl you?”
“I am not saying that he is not my Di Di. An illegitimate son is a son too. I’m also giving you time to meet together right.”
Mo Rui’s heart turns cold.
She thought that as long she brings Yang Yang and shows him to everyone and Old Madame He knows about it. She will accept it.
She was thinking it in too simple way.
Beside Chen Meng’s siblings, this son will also not let them live happily.
He Ji Fan stands up: “You should consider what you need to do.” Then he leaves.
Mo Rui opens the window to let the cigarette’s smoke out. She is confused now.
“Mama.” Yang Yang’s voice draws her back from the reality. She smiles. She just hugs her son.
“Mama, who is that person?” The time He Ji Fan comes over, Mo Rui let Yang Yang inside the bedroom. Her son is quite sensitive. He knows that the uncle that comes over isn’t someone good.
“He is Mama’s friend. Yang Yang, tomorrow go home with Mama. Liu A Yi (Auntie Liu) is having birthday tomorrow. We should go home and accompany her for her birthday okay?”
Yang Yang is unhappy: “But tomorrow Papa will take me to Disneyland.”
“We could come over to Disneyland in the future, but Liu A Yi’s birthday is once a year. She will be sad if we don’t come and accompany her. Liu A Yi is kind toward you, how could you want to make her sad.”
“Liu A Yi is kind toward Yang Yang, Yang Yang doesn’t want her to be sad.”
“Good.” Mo Rui hugs Yang Yang, her tears start to come out. “Tomorrow go home with Mama. Tonight remember to say goodbye to Papa.”
He Zhang Ju returns to the hotel when it’s midnight. He opens the door and notices that Mo Rui and Yang Yang aren’t sleeping yet.
“Why are you not sleeping?” He Zhang Ju looks tired.
“Papa.” Yang Yang runs over and holds his Papa. “Tomorrow Liu A Yi’s birthday, Mama said that we will go home to accompany her. I cannot accompany you to go to Disneyland to play.”
He Zhang Ju looks at Mo Rui.
Before they come to Shanghai, Mo Rui told him that she has no important thing to do, why….
“I’m sorry. I forgot about it. Tomorrow Xiao Qiao will have a birthday…..” Mo Rui says: “Let’s come again in the future.”
He Zhang Ju looks at her persistence so he doesn’t force her: “Tomorrow I’ll go home with you. I could ask someone to handle the project.”
“No need!” Mo Rui says it. She realizes that she refuses it too quickly. She regains herself and says kindly: “I could go home by myself. You should stay and handle the project. You are coming here to Shang Hai for work. How could you not handle it well and just go home. Someone will be suspicious.”
Mo Rui is a person with a great intelligence and understanding. Her action makes He Zhang Ju cannot let her go.
He and Mo Rui have been together for more than thirty years. Except being beautiful and kind, she also shows a bit of Chen Meng.
Since she was little, Chen Meng is like a princess, she is a temper. But when she is young, her temper is quite good, it maybe because she is young and lively. But the older she gets, Chen Meng is getting even more selfish. She does nothing everyday and just knows to go and play Mahjong with her friends. She just knows to play all night. Sometimes He Zhang Ju cannot see her for ten days or half month.
He has told her about it so many times but she doesn’t want to listen to him and they get into a great fight.
He was a forty fifty years old successful man, he feels lonely easily. His wife is insensible. The time he has someone who cares for him, it’s easy for him to be wild.
He Zhang Ju holds Yang Yang and Mo Rui. He feels happy for having both of them. “Tomorrow be safe, call me when you arrive.”
…….
He Ji Fan leaves the hotel and calls Dou Weir back.
“I just finished my talk.” He Ji Fan explains first.”
Dou Weir says; “No need to explain, I don’t think too much about it.”
“You trust me that much?” He Ji Fan smiles.
“Perhaps you are unworthy of my trust?”
“I’m so honored to have your trust.”
Dou Weir laughs, Indeed she doesn’t think too much about it. “Today are you so busy? How could you not call me for a whole day.”
“Someone knows that I come over. So the time I got off the plane, a lot of people called me to have dinner. It’s too many people, I couldn’t handle it for a moment. It’s my fault. I should call you once though I am busy. I’ll change. Everyday at least I will call three times okay? In the morning, afternoon, and at night.”
“Okay.” Dou Weir is very satisfied for this suggestion.
“I’ll go home on Sunday, wait for me.”
……
On Sat.u.r.day at 04:00 a.m., Jing Suo Suo wakes up and gets ready. Cheng Ru Yu’s conference will start at 09:00 a.m. They need about three hours to go to that venue.
She pulls her suitcase and gets out of her room. She doesn’t expect that Jing Fen Fen also wakes up early.
“Da Jie.”
Jing Fen Fen notices her suitcase. “You are going somewhere?”
“Em, I’ll go to another city to play with Cheng Da Ge.” Jing Suo Suo cannot hide her happy face. “Da Jie, why are you waking up so early?”
Jing Fen Fen smiles lightly: “I am going on date with You Yuan.”
Jing Suo Suo wants to say something more but her phone rings. She doesn’t take a look at it and just says: “Then have fun. I’ll leave first. Cheng Da Ge is here to pick me up.”
Jing Fen Fen stands on the balcony and watches Cheng Ru Yu takes the suitcase from Jing Suo Suo and puts it on the trunk. Both of them get on the car and leaves.
Jing Fen Fen holds her chest, she feels a bit of pain.
The cold wind blows her face. She feels cold, she touches her face. She just notices that her face is full of tears.
In life some things are easy, some things are hard to do. for example: Forgetting him.
Lu You Yuan answers a call from Jing Fen Fen, he is surprised to get it as now it’s still early.
“What is it?”
“Are you free today? Take me out to play. I want to go now.”
Lu You Yuan doesn’t think too much about it and just answers: “Okay, wait for me for twenty minutes.”
Ten minutes later, Mother Lu just wakes to prepare breakfast, she sees that her son is rushing to go downstair. Mother Lu frowns: “Where are you going? This early morning?”
“I want to go on date with Fen Fen.” Lu You Yuan says it and goes to the shoe racks.
Mother Lu comes toward you: “Go on date? Today? Didn’t you promise two days ago to accompany Ma to go to your grandfather’s house? There will be Sun family’s people, don’t you want their help?”
Lu You Yuan changes her shoes: “Ma, please apologize to them for me. Next time I will personally come over to apologize to them.” Then he just leaves.
“This kid!” Mother Lu is very annoyed. Sun Family has a great reputation, they re quite arrogant. They will not come if it’s not because the grandfather. How could this kid waste this kind of precious chance?
