Inside the sickroom.

She doesn’t know what they are talking about, but she feels the atmosphere is quite weird.

They both look at her. Ye Qing Xin greets him: “Jiu Jiu, you are here.”

Tai Zheng Ting looks at her and nods. He says to Zhou Qiao Qiao: “I still have things to do, have a good rest.”

Zhou Qiao Qiao “Em.”.

Tai Zheng Ting stands up to leave. Zhou Qiao Qiao says to ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, go send your uncle off.”

Ye Qing Xin put down the thermos that Driver Lu gave to her. “Em.”

They leave the sickroom.

Ye Qing Xin follows him to the elevator.

The time they are waiting for the elevator. Tai Zheng Ting takes a step back and stands beside her: “What did you say to Jing Bo Yuan?”

Ye Qing Xin makes space from him and says to him: “I don’t understand what you mean.”

“He, not understand.” Tai Zheng Ting looks at Ye Qing Xin, his gaze is treacherous, “I didn’t expect that your heart is so ruthless.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at him. She shows her innocent and smiles provocatively: “Compare to Jiu Jiu, it’s nothing.”

Tai Zheng Ting doesn’t get angry, he smiles happily: “You know why your Ma look for me?”

Ye Qing Xin feels something is bad.

Indeed, Tai Zheng Ting says: “She says if in case in the future you abandon Xiao Guo, she asks me to promise to raise and provide for Xiao Guo. Xin Xin, your Ma seems to not trust you.”

Ye Qing Xin just purses her lips without saying anything.

“Recently I don’t know why but Jing Bo Yuan keeps on fighting with me, he snatches my business and stops my current project. He also let off that who cooperates with me is opposing Bo Wei. He makes those old slick and sly people withdraw their investment from my company. Xin Xin, your closest person treat your Jiu Jiu like this, shouldn’t you handle him?”

“If this keeps on happening, I’m afraid that my company will bankrupt soon. I have no company no money, how can I guarantee to provide for Xiao Guo? Should I wait for bankrupt that I come back to T city to bring Xiao Guo to suffer together?”

Ding!— The elevator door opens.

Two people come out of the elevator. She recognizes one them to be Yu Qing You. Beside her is around fifty years old woman.

They let them pass through.

When both Tai Zheng Ting and Ye Qing Xin go inside the elevator and the door is closing. Yu Qing You sighs: “It’s a pity.”

The woman looks at Yu Qing You: “What is it?”

Yu Qing You says with a forced smile: “Su E A Yi (Auntie Su E), you don’t know. That woman is Suo Suo’s classmate. She looks innocent and beautiful. But it’s a pity for money she has intimate relationship with wealthy man, she follows a fifty years old man. If not she could marry a great man.”

Her words might makes understanding that Ye Qing Xin is related to that man beside her.

He Su E looks at Yu Qing You coldly and says cooly: “You even cannot take care of yourself. You still have mind to pity others.”

Yu Qing You’s face turns sour.

He Su E ignores her and opens the door of 1047. She greets Old Madame He; “Ma.”

Inside the elevator.

Ye Qing Xin stands in the most corner.

Tai Zheng Ting watches her. He remembers the first time he met her, she was just five or six years old. Her hair is in pony tail style. She was wearing a dress and looked at him curiously. Her eyes are round and big. She is so beautiful.

He suddenly speaks up: “I didn’t expect that after several years, your Ma still longs for Ye Jun Dong. She came over to meet him. She even is dejected and depressed. It’s too hilarious.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……”

Ye Jun Dong is too heartless. He even told her that Xiao Guo is my son. He is really heartless.”

Ye Qing Xin thinks that from his words, it seems that her mother doesn’t know about Xiao Guo to be Tai Zheng Ting’s son. She doesn’t understand how can a mother doesn’t know whose the father or her kid.

“Your words are werid. How can she not know whose Xiao Guo’s father? Why should she know it from Ye Jun Dong?” Ye Qing Xin asks.

Tai Zheng Ting looks at her: “You want me to tell the detail, how can I leave a kid inside your Ma’s womb without her being aware?”

The elevator stops at the first floor, the door is opened.

Ye Qing Xin looks in front: “Jiu Ma (Auntie), Shi Yun Biao Jie (Sister Shi Yun).”

Tai Zheng Ting turns his body but he sees nothing. He turns his head to look at Ye Qing Xin. Ye Qing Xin has moved from his side.

She walks forwward.

She smiles and says mockingly: “You only have this kind of courage. How dare you to be unfaithful. It’s too shameful.”

Tai Zheng Ting glares at her, “If you don’t want your Ma to know about our relationship, let Bo Yuan stops.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “we have no relation.”

Tai Zheng Ting laughs: “I can tell your Ma that you seduce me, tell me whether she will believe you or me?”

He starts to walk away but he says again: “I forget to remind you. If I’m bankrupt, I’ll go back to T City to take Xiao Guo to live with me. I am his biological father, I have right to raise him. Even Jing Bo Yuan is powerful, he couldn’t fight the law.”

Ye Qing Xin watches him leave.

She stays there for a while and returns back to sickroom.

The nurse leaves to have her lunch. Only Zhou Qiao Qiao sits inside the room.

“Ma, you should be hungry now right, I’ll prepare the food for you to eat.”

She opens each of the thermos. There are two dishes, a soup, and a rice.

She puts it on the table and pushes it in front of Zhou Qiao Qiao, Ye Qing Xin passes the chopstick: “Eat it.”

Zhou Qiao Qiao looks at it and thinks about what that strange woman said to her. She raises her head to look at Ye Qing Xin.

“This food is from you so-called boyfriend.”

It’s not a question but an affirmative sentence.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t hide it anymore, “Em.”

“That man is Jing Bo Yuan.”

“How do you know?”

“No matter how I can know it, that man is Jing Bo Yuan, the founder of Bo Wei is it?”

Ye Qing Xin nods.

“Leave him.” Zhou Qiao Qiao says firmly.

Ye Qing Xin is startled and doesn’t expect that Zhou Qiao Qiao will say something like that to her. Zhou Qiao Qiao continues: “Ma doesn’t ask you to marry into a rich family. I just ask you to find an ordinary one that can accept Xiao Guo. Jing Family is a rich family, they will not accept a woman with her low intelligence Di Di (Little brother). Xin Xin, you cannot abandon Xiao Guo.”

“Ma, I never think about leaving Xiao Guo. No matter who I will marrry with. I won’t. You need to believe me.”

“What if Jing Bo Yuan forces you to do it?”

“He isn’t someone like that, Ma. He is a good man, he is good to me…..”

“Good?” Zhou Qiao Qiao looks disbelieved, “Your uncle has kindness toward you, but he keep on fighting him and forcing him to bankruptcy. You think he is good?”

“…..” Ye Qing Xin is speechless for a moment.

She doesn’t know how should she spill out Tai Zheng Ting’s wrong doings, she just says: “Ma, you don’t understand somethings….”

Zhou Qiao Qiao doesn’t want to listen to her, she makes herself clear: “Now call and tell Jing Bo Yuan. Tell her to not make things hard for your uncle, also tell him, you are breaking up with him!”

Ye Qing Xin shakes her head, she doesn’t say anything. She looks decisively.

“You….. <cough> <cough>…..” Zhou Qiao Qiao coughs up blood again.

Ye Qing Xin turns pale. She says to her: “For your first request, I will do it. I’ll tell him to not make things hard for uncle. But for the second one, I’ll not do it.

She explains: “Ma, Bo Yuan is not a person like you think. I don’t tell you that Xiao Guo last time can be helped because of him, if not how can Li family suddenly go bankrupt. He will not let me give Xiao Guo up.”

Zhou Qiao Qiao be stubborn: “okay, even though he can accept Xiao Guo. What about his family? Will they allow you to take care of Xiao Guo? If they ask you to give up Xiao Guo will you give him up to marry Jing Bo Yuan? How will you choose? Will you choose the wealth and glory or choose your burdensome Di Di?”

“Ma, you are thinking too much and complicated. Bo Yuan’s family is friendly and open-minded. They are good toward me, they will not suggest that….”

Zhou Qiao Qiao feels disappointed toward her: “So in the end, you will choose the wealth and glory right? Indeed you are a selfish woman, you just think about yourself, you cannot consider other thing.”

Ye Qing Xin holds her hand and says: “I don’t mean that way….”

Zhou Qiao Qiao coughs again and just lays down. She doesn’t want to eat or drink.

Her movement is too violent that it spills the soup. Ye Qing Xin takes tissue to wipe it.

Then she sits down on the bedside and says faintly: “Ma, I’ll take care of Xiao Guo forever. You need to believe me. I’ll not give up Bo Yuan.”

Zhou Qiao Qiao’s coughing gets even more intense.

At night seven o’clock.

The doctors from Japan come over to check her up.

But Zhou Qiao Qiao doesn’t cooperate with them.

Ye Qing Xin says to her: “Ma, let them check you up.”

“What’s can be check. It’s better for me to die soon so you can have less burden.”

“Ma, you can be angry with me, but let’s check the illness first okay?”

“……”

But Zhou Qiao Qiao still doesn’t want to cooperate.

The group of doctors looks at each other, they don’t understand what’s happening.

Ye Qing Xin explains: “Can you say to them that today the patient feels a bit unwell, can they come over tomorrow?”

The translator tells the doctors. They leave with bringing the examination report. She doesn’t know whether they are leaving quietly because of their good temper or because of Jing Bo Yuan’s influence.

The room turns silent.

Ye Qing Xin asks: “Ma, what do you want?”

Zhou Qiao Qiao: “……”

The nurse also persuades her: “A Yi, now the most important thing is your health. If you are angry you also cannot just ignore your health. We can discuss anything. Your daughter is so filial toward you. It’s hard to invite those doctors. If something is bad about her, you still should feel moved for her action…….”

Zhou Qiao Qiao: “……”

Ye Qing Xin says again: “Ma, you only think about how Xiao Guo will be if I give him up. But have you ever thought about me, what if I lose the chance of being happy if I give up on Bo Yuan? Perhaps I’ll not encounter a man like him that is good to me. I also very like him.”

“You ask me to marry to an ordinary family, but have you ever thought with Xiao Guo’s condition. How can an ordinary family support him? They cannot. Who will be willing to raise someone without blood relation?”

Zhou Qiao Qiao:”….”

“Ma, I said that I’ll not give up Xiao Guo. Why you cannot believe me? I promise you. No matter what will happen. I’ll prioritize him. Can you not force me to do something that I’m not willing to do?”

Zhou Qiao Qiao: “…..”

“Ma…..”

Ye Qing Xin wants to say more but her phone rings.

She looks at it and leaves the room.

Jing Bo Yuan says on the phone: “What happened?”

Ye Qing Xin purses her lips. She is thinking whether she needs to tell him about what happened.

She thinks for a while and doesn’t hide it: “My Ma worries that in the future I’ll give up Xiao Guo for wealth and power. She wants me to marry to an ordinary family.”

She cannot tell him that her mother fears that his family member cannot accept Xiao Guo.

Then Jing Bo Yuan says: “Wait for me.” Then he hangs up.

Ye Qing xin just looks at the phone.

It’s his third time to say that, and every time he never disappoints her.

She starts to calm down.

She looks at the window and enjoys the night view.

After a while, she returns to her room.

She passes 1047 and notices a fifty years old woman comes out from it.

Ye Qing Xin just returns to the sickroom.

Zhou Qiao Qiao is sitting down on the bed.

She looks at Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin comes over, “Ma, in a while, Bo Yuan will come over…..”
