Chapter 451
“This Madame, Zhou Zhou is sent here by his Papa. If you have doubt, I think it’s better for you to call Zhou Zhou’s Papa so you could answer.” Old Madame Dou speaks up, she sounds like an educated person.
Chen Meng looks at Old Madame Dou and examines: “Who are you?”
“My Nai Nia.” Dou Weir comes forward two steps to block Chen Meng from Old Madame Dou. “If you want to take Zhou Zhou, I’ll not stop you.”
Chen Meng’s focus is on Old Madame Dou’s body: “You are Dou Weir’s Nai Nai? It’s great that I have something to talk to Dou Weir’s family member. Though I haven’t met her parents, but as the grandma you should be okay. Since you know Zhou Zhou, you should have meet my son, He Ji Fan. My son, he is young and insensible. He doesn’t know what’s good and what’s bad. But I know what’s good and bad, I absolutely not approve my son marry to a mo—-“
“Madame He!” Dou Weir cuts off Chen Meng’s words. “I and your son are not related. If you want to take Zhou Zhou back home. Please do as your wish, we also want to go home. We will not send you off.”
Then Dou Weir just holds Old Madame Dou and walks back.
“How could you talk that way with me? You are so uneducated!” Chen Meng is He Zhang Ju’s wife. How could there’s someone talk to her like this?
Dou Weir doesn’t look back.
“Mama!” Zhou Zhou looks at Dou Weir is leaving. He wants to chase after him, yet Chen Meng holds him. “Zhou Zhou is good, go home with Nai Nai okay?”
“No, I want Mama, Mama….” Zhou Zhou struggles hard but he is young so he has no lot of strength.
“Mama….”
Hearing how that little guy cries so heartbreaking, all along Dou Weir doesn’t look back. Old Madame Dou turns her head to look how Chen Meng takes the crying Zhou Zhou to the parking area.
“Zhou Zhou is crying so hard, will he be okay?” Old Madame Dou is worried.
Dou Weir smiles and shakes her head: “That is his grandma, what could happen?”
Old Madame Dou opens up her mouth several times, she looks like she wants to say something. Yet she doesn’t.
Dou Weir notices it so she says: “What do you want to say, just say it.”
“You are not accepting He Ji Fan, is it because of that Madame?”
“no.” Dou Weir closes the window: “I and he have no destiny, it’s unrelated to anyone.”
“Weir, Nai Nai always thinks that Ji Fan is a very G.o.d kid. I think that if you are with him, you will have a support. Yet I forget about his family members, how they would look at you. Today after I saw…” Indeed she is a bit disappointed. Dating is a matter between two, but marriage is between two families’ happiness. Having that kind of Po Po (mother-in-law), Dou Weir will not have a great life.
“Weir, if you really don’t like Ji Fan, Nai Nai aso will not force you.” This time Old Madame Dou really will not force her. She doesn’t want her granddaughter having a hard future. She has seen a lot of meanie mother-in law.
“You should figure things out.” Dou Weir says. “It’s not early anymore. Let me go and buy you food to eat.”
“I’ll go buy it. You could stay here.” The nurse takes initiative to run errands.
Dou Weir nods: “Okay.” She takes out 200 Yuan. “Buy lighter taste dishes for Nai Nai. I’m on diet so I’ll not eat. For the rest, you could buy your own food. It should be hard for you to take care of Nai Nai.”
Dou Weir is always be a generous one. The nurse is happy and goes away.
“You ah, you should be more economized.” Old Madame Dou tells her several times.
“She would take a good care of you.”
“You kid…..” Old Madame Dou sighs. Her granddaughter is too filial.
———-
He Ji Fan doesn’t know that Chen Meng had taken Zhou Zhou, he also doesn’t know that Chen Meng said something to Old Madame Dou.
At night he comes over to the hospital and just knows about it. He also feels that Old Madame Dou’s att.i.tude is changing. It is similar but he could feel something is trange.
“Did my Ma say something to Nai Nai?” Dou Weir sends He Ji Fan downstair.
For his mother’s att.i.tude toward Dou Weir, he also knows about it.
Taking Zhou Zhou to Dou Weir’s place and hiding it from his family, his mother definitely would say something.
Chen Meng’s family is a very well-known government official family. Her family is well-matched in social and economic status for He family. Since she was young, she always has sense of superiority. But except her wonderful status, there’s nothing else to say.
Her expenses are given by He Ji Fan right now, yet she looks down on someone like Dou Weir, who could earn her own money.
“What do you think your Ma would say?” Dou Weir doesn’t answer yet she asks.
He Ji Fan is silent for a while and holds Dou Weir’s hands. “No matter what she says, she doesn’t represent my position. Weir Weir, in the future you would spend your life with me. No need to care about her words.”
Dou Weir takes back her hands and doesn’t answer him. “It’s late, go home. Zhou Zhou is crying so hard before. He should need your comfort.”
“Wei Weir……”
He Ji Fan doesn’t leave this way.
The time he is lowering his head and kissing her. Dou Weir doesn’t dodge him, she also doesn’t respond. Her att.i.tude irritates He Ji Fan. He hugs her tightly.
“In the future, I’ll treat you well.” He Ji Fan promises to her.
Dou Weir just stays in his embrace.
“Tomorrow afternoon 05:30 p.m, I’ll come over to pick you up. Let’s have dinner together. I’ll not bring Zhou Zhou, only two of us.”
Dou Weir doesn’t answer, she just leaves his embrace. “You should go back.”
“Weir, come over and eat.” Dou Weir returns to her sickroom. Old Madame Dou asks her to eat.
Dou Weir has no appet.i.te. “You eat it, I’m not hungry.”
“How could you not hungry, I haven’t see you eat anything. Look, you are s skinny….”
Dou Weir has no choice so she eats half of it.
For maintaining her body, these two years she is very strict in her food consumption.
He Ji Fan returns back to He family’s house. Except He Yun Xiao, everyone is home. Zhou Zhou had been crying for the whole afternoon, he is tired so he just sleeps.
Chen Meng looks at him and just rebukes him. “You are too great. You hide the fact you took Zhou Zhou to Dou Weir’s place? You want to make me, your Pa, and your Nai Nai be angry? What is so good about that woman? That you could be so enchanted by her?”
She doesn’t understand it. There are lots of women from rich family daughter like him, but he doesn’t like them. Why should he want to be with a model?
“A, ma, Da Ge doesn’t hide that from everyone. I also know about it.” He Yi Yi is eating her fruit.
Chen Meng glares at her: “You know about it, why don’t you tell me?”
He Yi Yi shows her innocent face: “You also don’t ask me. Moreover I think that Dou Weir is very good. She could earn her own money, she has good education. the most important thing, she also has a good looking. Think about it, if she marries with Da Ge, Da Ge is also handsome. In the future, their kids would be so handsome and pretty. They would be more good looking taht Zhou Zhou. What do you think Nai Nai?”
“As the proverb says birds of a feather flock together. As far as I know, Dou Weir and Jing Da Ge’s Lao Bo (Wife of Big Bro Jing/ Ye Qing Xin) are best friends. We also know that Jing Da Ge’s Lao Bo gives birth to a lot of kids. Maybe Dou Weir will do the same. In the future, we will have a lot of kids in our house. Nai Nai, you will earn a lot. You will have a lot of great- grandchildren.”
Old Madame He couldn’t help but to smile when she hears it.
“Ma!” Chen Meng sees that Old Madame He could be persuaded easily. She calls for her to rebuke her. Then she turns her head to glare at He Yi Yi. “What does Dou Weir give to you that you turn your att.i.tude toward her? Last time you said that she wasn’t a cautious one during the college years, how could you change?”
“That time I was immature and insensible. How could you think my words are true. Though Dou Weir has a lot of pursuer, but she never has a boyfriend. Your beloved daughter, me, also have a lot of pursuers, but you couldn’t say that I’m not cautious right? Right Nai Nai?”
Old Madame He nods. Her daughter is always an obedient one.
Chen Meng looks coldly at He Yi Yi: “Now you are really great ah.”
“Ma, Da Ge is almost forty years old and Dou Weir is just twenty years old. Marrying with Da Ge might be a loss for her, how could you dislike her? If you guys don’t like her profession, then ask her to exit the modeling profession. We have a great company, Da Ge could arrange a position for her.” Except Ji Yan Xi’s matter, He Yi Yi actually has no reason to hate Dou Weir.
He Yi Yi is so obedient.
Chen Meng is doubting that the woman, who is talking with her, is her own daughter. How could she change her att.i.tude completely? Is she crazy?
“Moreover, Zhou Zhou also recognizes her as his own Mama. Could you guys guarantee that your chosen one, would be accepted by Zhou Zhou? What if that woman appears to treat Zhou Zhou well in front us but behind her, she mistreats Zhou Zhou? Wouldn’t Zhou Zhou be so miserable?”
Old Madame He is also worried about this so she keeps on hoping that He Ji Fan would be with Ye Yu Shi together.
“He Yi Yi! If you talk anymore, I would tear your mouth!’ Chen Meng is really furious.
“Okay, I’ll stop, I’ll return to my bedroom first. Nai Nai, Pa, Ma, Da Ge, goodnihgt.”
Before she leaves, He Yi Yi glances at He Ji Fan like she is saying: “I only could help you till this part.” He Ji Fan smiles for a while, and he regains his serious composure quickly.
He sits down on the sofa and says seriously: “For Weir’s matter, I could only say that I want to marry her, no matter you guys will approve or not.”
“A Fan!” Chen Meng is anxious: “I don’t approve it.”
He Ji Fan says calmly: “It’s not you who are going to marry her.”
“You…..” Chen Meng pants. How could He Ji Fan talk like this toward her? This should be because that Dou Weir. “Zhang Ju, speak up!”
He Zhang Ju’s eyes are fixed on his book, he doesn’t even lift up his head. “It’s not me who is going to marry, why should I say anything?”
He Ji Fan smiles. It seems that in the house, no one really disapproves his relationship with Dou Weir.
He Ji Fan looks at Old Madame He: “Ma…”
Old Madame He looks at He Ji Fan: “You are determined?”
“Em.”
“You have no s.p.a.ce for discussion?”
He Ji Fan nods.
Old Madame He: “Then I also have nothing to say anything more.”
He Ji Fan is happy: “Thank you Nai Nai.”
Chen Meng is so worried: “Ma, you couldn’t approve this. You don’t know that Dou Weir used to have ectopic pregnancy. During the surgery, one of her oviduct was lifted up. The doctor said that it’s hard for her to get pregnant. She might unable to get pregnant for her whole life. You need to think carefully about it. After she marries into our family, your great grandson would only be Zhou Zhou.”
Old Madame He is shocked: “Is it real?”
Chen Meng is satisfied to see the change of expression in Old Madame He’s face: “Why should I lie?”
He Zhang Ju lifts up his head and looks at He Ji Fan. He Ji Fan’s expression looks firm. “If she couldn’t give birth then just let it be. Isn’t it enough for He family to have one grandson, Zhou Zhou?” He Ji Fan suddenly feels rejoiced that he doesn’t revealed Zhou Zhou’s birth to his family. “Don’t forget we also have Yun Xiao, he also would have kids. Nai Nai’s grandson will not only be Zhou Zhou.”
That’s right, but…. Old Madame He says: “A Fan, but it’s not a minor thing, you should consider it.”
He Ji Fan: “I don’t need time to consider anymore. I have thought about it. Nai Nai, you should know my att.i.tude previously, you also know that I used to have a lot of girlfriends. No one could give me feeling or thought of getting married. Weir is the first one and last one. If there’s no her, maybe now I’m still playing around with my life. Nai Nai, I don’t wish that you will support me, but at least don’t oppose me to.”
He Ji Fan says it sincerely: “I know that you like Yu Shi, but I don’t like her. Marrying her wouldn’t make me happy. Marrying me wouldn’t make her happy too. How could you have heart to let her marry with a man, who doesn’t love her and ruins her life? She is a good woman, she should marry to someone that loves her.
Old Madame He is so immersed with He Ji Fan’s words. Chen Meng notices that Old Madame He is easily moved. “Ma, how could you not be firm about this? Anyway I disapprove it.”
He Ji Fan raises his eyebrow: “Ma, I remember that you have several secondary credit cards, the master cards are mine.”
Chen Meng: “What do you mean?”
He Ji Fan: “I don’t mean anything. I just feel that you have too many cards. I am thinking that I should cut off several my credits.”
Chen Meng: “Are you threatening me?”
He Ji Fan: “I don’t dare, you are my Ma.”
Chen Meng snorts: “Do you still know that I’m your Ma?”
The chat ends on bad terms, Chen Meng is so angry. She says to He Zhang Ju: “What happened to you? How could you not help me to persuade A Fan. He is insensible, how could you act that way too?”
He Zhang Ju doesn’t want to argue with her, he just says: “He is not a kid anymore, he should know what he should do. Why should you argue with him? If he listens to your command and arrangement, how could he be in charge of the company?”
He Zhang Ju doesn’t want to control and think too much about this. He has been in charge of the company for more than ten years. Every day he always be so worried and tired. Now he just wants to live his life quietly. Moreover, he also understands his own son. He isn’t an impulsive one.
“You and Ma don’t stand on my side, even Yi Yi is helping Dou Weir. Do you know for whom, I am worried? I’m doing this for He family. If you guys don’t mind it, then I will not.”
“Okay, don’t be angry. For his own matter, let him mind his own business. You shouldn’t be worried for him for your whole life. On the other words, now you could oppose it, but if one day you are dead, he could just marry Dou Weir, could you mind him that time. Why should you make this unhappy situation?”
Chen Meng says that she wouldn’t mind but how could she just let it go.
The next day morning at 09:00 a.m., Dou Weir b.u.mps into Chen Meng at the door of Old Madame Dou’s sickroom.
“You don’t mind to have a chat with me right? If you don’t want, then we could chat here?” Chen Meng notices that Old Madame Dou is worried.
Dou Weir is unhappy at how Chen Meng looks at Old Madame Dou, she blocks her gaze and replies: “Let’s go.”
There’s a coffee shop beside the hospital.
Both of them order coffee. After the waiter goes away, Dou Weir speaks up: “You could speak up now.”
“Leave Jing City, as far as you can.” Chen Meng says directly.
Dou Weir laughs. Chen Meng frowns.
“Why should I leave?”
Chen Meng knows that Dou Weir will not agree to it easily, she laughs coldly and takes out a cheque out of her handbag.
Dou Weir looks at the writing on the cheque and nods: “Old Madame He is too generous. I’ve been working as model for two years, yet I never earn half of this.”
Chen Meng looks disdainful at her.
“But now I have a great career, I would definitely be able to earn this much, I think I will earn much more than this. I think I’m suffering a loss in this business.
Chen Meng knows what Dou Weir means, she asks unhappily: “Then how much do you want?”
Dou Weir shows her finger sign of ten. “Multiplied it with 10. If Madame He could give me that much, then I would immediately leave Jing City, what do you think?”
“You…..” Cheng Meng’s face turns sour. It’s clear that this amount of money is her limit. Multiplying it by ten, how could she have that kind of money? “You shouldn’t be insatiable.”
“Since Madame He cannot give me, then I think we have nothing to discuss anymore. Alright, I still have thing to do, I will not stay any longer. Bye.” Dou Weir stands up: “Oh right, rather than waste the money and time on me, it’s better for you to spend your time to control your own son. Don’t try to blame the others. If your own family’s cat loves to eat other family’s fish, you shouldn’t blame the family’s fish to be too delicious right? I think Madame He knows about it right?”
Chen Meng is so furious to hear about it. How could this woman dare to teach her!
Dou Weir goes out of the coffee shop. She stands there for three seconds. She narrows her eyes because of the dazzling sun.
She understands Chen Meng’s way of practice, she thinks if she is Chen Meng too, she will hope a best one to marry her son.
Old Madame Dou is worried about Dou Weir, she knows that Dou Weir is going out to talk with Chen Meng. He Ji Fan’s mother seems to be not easily get along with. She is afraid that Dou Weir suffer losses.
After an hour, Dou Weir also comes back. She is holding a takeaway box.
“What did Ji Fan’s Mama say to you?” Old Madame Dou asks worriedly.
“We just chatted casually.” Dou Weir doesn’t want to chat about this matter. She places the takeaway box in front of Old Madame Dou. “I bought you lunch too. Eat it, I ordered based on your taste.”
“Is she making things hard for you?”
Dou Weir says: “Nai Nai, don’t worry. I wouldn’t let anyone mistreat me.”
Looking at how she is smiling, Old Madame Dou is quite regretting her action. She shouldn’t try to match He Ji Fan and Dou Weir. “Weir, it’s Nai Nai’s fault. I just long for someone that could take care of you, yet I forget to consider the family condition of that someone. Was it because of Xiao He, Ji Fan’s Mama doesn’t ……”
Old Madame Dou thinks that Chen Meng disapproves the relationship because of the inexistent Xiao He. Dou Weir doesn’t plan to explain, she just says: “Those are unimportant, eat your meal, Nai Nai.”
Old Madame Dou eats the food and remembers something. “Remember last time I mentioned Wu Zhu Ren (Director Wu) right? She has a twenty six years old son and he is single. She has been asking me about you. I say that you are single jut before, she wants me to ask whether you are willing to meet him. She really likes you.”
“Wu Zhu Ren is a good woman, you should be able to live happily with her family. Right?”
Dou Weir starts to have headache: ‘Nai Nai…… I don’t want…”
“Just meet him, think of him just as a friend.”
Dou Weir doesn’t refuse anymore: “Where will it be?”
Old Madame Dou is happy: “I’ll talk to her now, I’ll ask her about the details.” She lifts up her phone and calls.
At night 05:30 p.m., He Ji Fan appears at Old Madame Dou’s sickroom on time. He has two bouquets of flowers, a bouquet of lily and a bouquet of roses.
Old Madame Dou smiles and welcomes him. She is still friendly though she isn’t that intimate anymore.
Before He Ji Fan and Dou Weir leave, Old Madame Dou couldn’t help but ot sigh.
Dou Weir is holding the bouquet of roses and her cheeks turn red.
He Ji Fan never gave any bouquet of flowers for women.
Today he bought flowers because he saw a female employee got a bouquet of flowers from her boyfriend. So he goes to the flower shop to buy it.
The Porsche car stops in front of the jewelry store.
Dou Weir is startled: “What are you doing?”
He Ji Fan doesn’t answer.
Dou Weir is startled: “What are we doing here?”
He Ji Fan doesn’t answer her, he just takes her inside the store.
This is the Sheng family’s largest jewelry store in Jing city.
The sales a.s.sistant notices He Ji Fan and says nothing much. She immediately takes him upstair. The upstair of the store is only reserved for the most respected guests.
“He Xian Sheng (Mr He), the thing that you requested is here. Please take a look at it.”
There are three diamonds being showed. Dou Weir looks at it. Every diamond is more than ten carat.
She could guess silently what He Ji Fan wants to do, her heart is in a mess.
“This one is the excellent one from the other two. Which want do you like?”
There’re a round diamond, tear drop diamond, and heart-shaped diamond. Dou Weir likes jewelry so she has quite good knowledge about it.
“You don’t like it?” He Ji Fan sees that Dou Weir doesn’t say anything so he thinks that Dou Weir doesn’t like it. He turns his head and asks: “There’s nothing better?”
Without waiting for the answer, Dou Weir holds his arm. “No need.” She repeats: “I don’t need it.”
He Ji Fan looks at her and then takes the best one. “Just this one.”
“He Ji Fan…..”
“This is my first time to buy diamond for my beloved woman so you cannot refuse me.” He Ji Fan says to the sales a.s.sistant. “I hope that I could get the ring quickly.”
“We will try our best. I will do it as quickly as we can. Miss, please give me your right hand, let me measure your finger size.”
They come out of the jewelry store, Dou Weir feels that everything is unreal. He Ji Fan said that this is his first time to buy a diamond for a woman. She doesn’t believe it but she couldn’t help but to believe it.
During the dinner, she is unfocused. She recalls the time Chen Meng gave her the cheque and the time He Ji Fan bought her a diamond. She keeps on thinking and her mind just turns into a chaos.
He Ji Fan notices that something is wrong with her. After the dinner, he just takes her to the department store. He remembers that in the past she loves to shop.
