Chapter 118
The dishes come out quickly.
Ye Qing Xin looks at He Su E’s manner collectedly, she learns how to do it.
She suddenly feels that she is like Lin Dai Yu (female character in The Dream of Red mansions, cousin and thwarted lover of Jia Bao Yu).
He Su E is very elegant middle-aged woman. What makes she and Jing Bo Yuan’s relationship turn tensed?
“Xin Xin.” He Su E suddenly speaks up: “Can I call your name?”
Ye Qing Xin is shocked and nods. She smiles: “of course, it’s my honor.”
He Su E nods. She wants to say more but Ye Qing Xin’s phone rings.
Ye Qing Xin apologizes: “I’m sorry. I need to answer my phone.”
She takes out her phone and stands up. Ye Qing Xin asks for the location of the restroom with the waitress.
It’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.
She gets inside the restroom and answers. Jing Bo Yuan says seriously: “Xin Xin, tell me where are you.”
Ye Qing Xin is confused: “What is it?”
“Your location.”
She tells him.
“I am…….. at the French restaurant which is in the opposite Imperial crown hotel. Are you coming here? Just in time, Bo Mu is here.”
“Xin Xin, I will arrive soon. Wait for me outside.”
“But… Bo Mu is still eating. I cannot just go? It’s impolite.”
“Go out now.” Jing Bo Yuan is stern.
Ye Qing Xin feels he is strange.
She is shivering.
She just answers: “Okay, now I will go out and wait for you.”
She hangs up, Ye Qing Xin looks at herself at the mirror.
Jing Bo Yuan seems to be extremely scared that she is with his mother, why is it?
His mother looks very well-educated and intelligent. She is quite cold and hard to approach but before she asked whether she called her “Xin Xin.” It’s clear that she wants to get closer with her.
If now she just mentions to leave hastily, she is afraid that his mother will have different impression about her.
Ye Qing Xin thinks about it and washes her hands.
She returns to the table. Yu Qing You is talking about something with He Su E. She smiles with a proud face.
He Su E is still cold.
Ye Qing Xin just sits down naturally. She smiles peacefully: “I’m sorry. I’m going too long.”
She says it and picks up her knife and fork to continue eating.
He Su E glances at Yu Qing You and doesn’t say something.
Yu Qing You is shocked. She clearly hears from outside the restroom that Ye Qing Xin will leave.”
He Su E always pays attention to manner and etiquette. If Ye Qing Xin just leaves before finishing the dinner, He Su E will be unhappy and will be unsatisfied toward her.
Who knows that Ye Qing Xin doesn’t show that she want to leave.
Yu Qing You clenches her fork and knife. She asks Ye Qing Xin: “Who called you before? You chatted for a long time. Is everything okay? If you really have things to do and need to leave, I can stay and accompany Shu E. It’s okay.”
Ye Qing Xin stops stuffing the beef inside her mouth and raises her head to face Yu Qing You. Her eyes are somewhat regretful, wrongful, at loss. She looks miserable.
“Qing You Jie are you dislike me to disturb you and Bo Mu?”
Yu Qing You really hates that she cannot just slap Ye Qing Xin’s face. Since she had fought with her, she knows clearly that she is good at positioning herself.
In the past she thought that she is just insensible and inexperienced girl. She looks that she can be easily bullied, she thought she can beat her and Ye Qing Xin will not implicate Jing Bo Yuan.
Who knows that she has lot of tricks. She let Jing Bo Yuan to protect her. She is so good that she can be Jing Bo Yuan’s girlfriend.
Now Ye Qing Xin shows her innocent face, it let Yu Qing You to feel so furious.
Yu Qing You keeps on smiling: “No, why are you thinking that way, how can I think that way? I just hear from Yi Yi that you are so attractive and have a lot of pursuers. I thought you are in call for a long time, there’s someone that find you.”
Ye Qing Xin chews the beef inside her mouth and swallows it. She puts down her knife and fork. Then wipes her mouth. She drinks a gulp of wine. She looks so elegant and well-mannered. “Qing You Jie, you are seven or eight years older than me. You are more experienced than me. You are considerate for a lot of things not like me. Since I was young. Except studying, I need to take part time job to earn money. Qing You Jie, for what you said, I have never experienced it. I’m really jealous that Qing You Jie can have that rich life experience.”
Ye Qing Xin also can speak hypocritical and malignantly.
It’s so easy to do. She just put the pressure Yu Qing You’s groundless comment back at her.
Ye Qing Xin watches Yu Qing You’s expression. She really wants to laugh.
This is a familiar moment.
That time during Jing Bo Yuan’s accident, his Gu Gu (auntie) also attacked her that way.
Ye Qing Xin could attack his Gu Gu and defend herself well.
Yu Qing You’s face turns really sour.
This Ye Qing Xin is too smart and ruthless.
He Shu E looks at Yu Qing You and says coldly: “if you don’t eat, it’ll turn cold soon.”
Yu Qing You is also somewhat terrified of He Su E. It’s not only because she is Jing Bo Yuan’s mother but also because she is really someone that hard to approach. She always be so cold.
Hearing He Su E’s words makes Yu Qing You doesn’t dare to say anything more. She just glares at Ye Qing Xin secretly. She vents her anger at the foie gras dish in front of her.
He Su E puts down her knife and fork down and drinks her champagne. Suddenly she asks Ye Qing Xin: “Who are still in your family?”
Ye Qing Xin is happy because it shows she wants to start to know her.
“Mama and Di Di (little brother).”
“Your Fu Qin (Father) ?”
“I am from a single-parent family, my father left us ten years ago.”
He Su e nods: “Your mama is sick?”
Ye Qing Xin answers honestly: “Em.”
Yu Qing Yuo starts to intervene: “I remember that Xin Xin’s Di Di is also in bad health. Since he was little, he doesn’t develop mentally well. Now he is seventeen or eighteen years old but his intelligence is still five or six years old…….”
He Su e says “Is it true?”
The whole family is not in a good health, is not a good thing.
Ye Qing Xin just answers honestly: “em.”
He Su E doesn’t say anything else.
Everyone turns silent.
It’s only Yu Qing You, that smiles brightly. Her dish turns so appetizing.
After a while.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the window.
She could see Jing Bo Yuan will arrive soon. She observes that He Su E is done with her food. She says: “Bo Mu, actually Bo Yuan called me before. He wanted to tell me that he will have business dinner tonight and asked me to dine alone. But the time I said that I am having dinner with you, he said that he will pick me up and also meet you.”
Ye Qing Xin thinks no matter how is their relationship. They are related by blood. She is his mother and he is her son. It cannot be cut easily.
Perhaps her words can smooth up their relationship.
He Su E doesn’t express anything. Ye Qing Xin feels cold.
This time.
A tall figure comes over.
He doesn’t care about the waitress’ greeting. Jing Bo Yuan just sweeps around the room to find Ye Qing Xin. After he recognizes her, he just comes over.
Ye Qing Xin sees him and looks that he is walking toward her. She stands up: “Bo Yuan.”
She doesn’t expect that Jing Bo Yuan’s appearance makes He Su E’s face turns sour.
Ye Qing Xin waits until he is closer. She wants to ask whether he has his dinner yet. But Jing Bo Yuan just pulls her then put her behind his back.
He looks at He Su E. His gaze is full of warning. “What do you want to do by taking Xin Xin out?’
He Su E just looks at him coldly.
Their gazes meet each other. Ye Qing Xin can feel the heat.
She is surprised.
The Jing Bo Yuan, that she knows, is always mature and serious. He always acts politely and in manner. But now in front of his mother, he acts so different.
“Bo Yuan… it’s me that wanted to go have dinner with Bo Mu. Don’t act like this.” Ye Qing Xin holds Jing Bo Yuan’s arm and explains.
Jing Bo Yuan is tensed.
He Su E then calls up the waiter to ask for the bill.
After she pays up, Jing Bo Yuan holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and takes her to leave.
He Su E feels her whole body to be weak.
Her son. When he was little, he always be strong and has extraordinary wisdom. Things change with time, indeed he is a prominent talent.
At first he loved to be close and calls her mother. For her praise and compliment, he always smiles. But now it has changed.
“Did Ye Qing Xin say something to Bo Yuan? How can Bo Yuan act that way to you? Su E A Yi, don’t be angry with Bo Yuan, it should be Ye Qing Xin’s doing……..”
Yu Qing You stops.
He Su E’s cold gaze fixes at her.
“Su, Su E A Yi……”
He Su E just picks her bag and stands up. She leaves.
Yu Qing You doesn’t know what is her mistake. She is startled. She takes her bag and chases after her.
Jing Bo Yuan takes Ye Qing Xin to his car.
On the way home.
Jing Bo Yuan is focus on the road. His face is cold and stern. Ye Qing Xin cannot help but to a bit terrified.
Though they have done the most intimate thing, but Ye Qing Xin realizes that except loving him, she also somewhat feels terrified at him.
Just like a tiger, no matter good a person and a tiger’s relation is. But a person should still be careful and aware because maybe one day the beast will appear in the tiger and eat up the man.
Jing Bo Yuan, is just like a fierce tiger.
