Chapter 357
Ye Qing Xin sits down inside Wen Ren Xi’s newly-opened teahouse. The teahouse is decorated in retro yet it’s elegant. The one side of the wall is remodeled into bookcase and is arranged with a lot of books. On the side, it also remodeled into shelves with various of teapots and tea cups.
Because it’s just opened, there’re not a lot of people there.
Ye Qing Xin is sitting near the bookcase wall. Beside her, it’s arranged a baby’s carpet. The three babies are laying down there, they are flipping their body and playing.
Nian Nian and Zhao Zhao are so happy that their hands and legs keep on moving. Mu Mu just laying down on his side and doesn’t move. If someone looks Mu Mu’s back, they might think that he is sleeping. But if you look at the front, his round eyes are opened big, but his gaze is distant like he is thinking of something.
These guys are not yet three-months but they can flip their bodies.
Ye Qing Xin is still breastfeeding so she cannot drink tea. Wen Ren Xi prepares a fresh pressed juice for her.
The teahouse guests aren’t many so the waiters still can take care of them. Wen Ren Xi sits down beside the little babies and raises up a bell to tease Nian Nian. Nian Nian moves his arms like he wants to catch it. Every time he cannot grab it, he will say out “Ay…” like he is complaining against Wen Ren Xi. Wen Ren Xi is happy.
Now it’s October so the weather is cooling down.
“Er Shen—”
Ye Qing Xin just speaks up and Wen Ren Xi looks at her.
“….. Xi Jie.” Ye Qing Xin changes the way she addresses Wen Ren Xi, “Er Shu……..”
“If you come to visit me, I welcome you anytime. But if you want to talk about something else, then I will ‘close the door’.”
Wen Ren Xi says those words calmly.
Ye Qing Xin: “….”
This is her third time to come here. Every time Wen Ren Xi doesn’t want to listen to anything about Jing Yi. Jing family has lost their way to solve this.
She doesn’t know whether Wen Ren Xi knows that during the wedding day, Jing Yi had finally came. She doesn’t know whether Wen Ren Xi knows that Jing Yi was hurt and stood in front of her house for three days and three night.
The time she is thinking, a black car stops in front of the teahouse.
Then a figure gets inside the teahouse.
“Er Shu.” Ye Qing Xin stands up and greets him.
Jing Yi carries Xi Fan, he nods at Ye Qing Xin but doesn’t come toward her. He just looks for an empty seat to sit down.
Jing Yi puts down Xi Fan, Xi Fan moves her chubby body and runs lightly toward Wen Ren Xin but she doesn’t be too close to her. She just sits down a meter far from her and moves her black stripes tail. She watches Wen Ren Xi silently.
“Xi Fan, come here.” Ye Qing Xin calls the old cat.
Xi Fan just glances at her but then she just keeps on looking at her owner.
“……….” Ye Qing Xin feels that the old cat is rolling her eyes at her.
Ye Qing Xin is somewhat annoyed about it as that white old cat had eaten food several days on her house.
All along Jing Yi’s gaze is on Wen Ren Xi. The waiter asks for his order, he just orders a Pu Er tea.
His gaze never leaves Wen Ren Xi.
“Just sit down here. I’ve something to do at the back. I’ll go handle it first.” Wen Ren Xi puts the bell and leaves.
This time Jing Yi takes out his phone to call.
“Tomorrow I’ll go to Tibet. I’ll be gone for a week. I have a cat at home and no one feeds her. These days don’t forget to come by and feed the cat…. okay that’s it. Bye.”
He seems to do it in purpose to let someone hears it. His voice is loud that even Ye Qing Xin can hear it.
Wen Ren Xi’s gaze moves but she just smiles at Ye Qing Xin and leaves.
Xi Fan just watches her leave and doesn’t chase after her.
This time a man gets inside the teahouse. He looks handsome, he looks like a forty years old man. He brings a bouquet of pink roses. The waiter seems to recognize him. She looks at him and Wen Ren Xi, she smiles.
“Xiao Xi.” That man calls her.
Wen Ren Xi turns her body and smiles at him. “Why are you here?”
“I just finished an interview and pass by so I come to visit.” That man says gently, his smile is even bright. “You are so busy, are you tired?”
Then he passes the bouquet of roses to her.
“Thank you.” Wen Ren Xi smiles and takes it. “I have passed the most tired one. Today the guests are few so it’s okay.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at the man and feels so surprised.
She knows about that man. It’s the CCTV’s news reporter, he calls Xia Cheng Xi. She uses to watch his news. He always reports everything in profound meaning, his opinion is original, he has a great knowledge. He also seems to have good connection.
She casts a glance at Jing Yi. Jing Yi stands up and walks toward Wen Ren Xi and Xia Cheng Xi.
Wen Ren Xi tries hard to focus on Xia Cheng Xi. She goes to near the cashier to take a flower vase to put the roses. Jing Yi just comes over and takes the bouquet of roses.
Wen Ren Xi looks at him and frowns. She looks unhappy.
Jing Yi hugs her shoulder and looks at Xia Cheng Xi. “My wife is allergic toward flower. Thank you for Xia Xian Sheng’s good intention. It’s better for you to give it to other women.”
“Wife?” Xia Cheng Xi is unable to restrain his smile and says: “It seems Xiao Xi has sued to divorce, Jing Zong Zhang you need to place yourself in a correct position.”
Jing Yi’s eyes turn cold. Xia Cheng Xi just looks at him with calm manner.
The teahouse’s atmosphere turns a bit tense. A lot of guests watch them. Wen Ren Xi then just leaves to go to the back.
Xia Cheng Xi watches Wen Ren Xi go and looks at the bouquet of roses on his hold. “Jing Zong Zhang is infatuating. For Su Mei, you had stayed single for twenty years. It’s a favorite topic to talk to, it really makes me admire you. I recently heard that Su Mei also gave birth to your kid. Congratulation, now Jing Zong Zang’s whole family with three members can be expected soon.”
Jing Yi just looks at him.
Though Xia Cheng Xi is just a news reporter but he has a great backup and connection. He doesn’t afraid Jing Yi.
“Jing Zong Zhang, since the day you left Xiao Xi and went to another person, you are already choosing to lose her, moreover now you have a twenty years old daughter. Perhaps you want to let Xiao Xi be your daughter’s step-mother.”
“Though Xiao Xi might be willing but who knows when will your old love ignite again? You already wasted Xiao Xi’s twenty years, how should you delay a lifetime of hers again?”
“It’s my own family matter, I don’t need Xia Xian Sheng’s care.” Jing Yi says coldly.
“Of course I wouldn’t care of your family matter but now Xiao Xi is is single. I can chase after her.” Xia Cheng Xi puts the roses inside the flower vase and then says to the waiter: “Tell your boss, I’ll leave first. Tomorrow I’ll come again to visit her.”
“Xia Xian Sheng, take care.” The waiter smiles brightly at him.
“Jing Zong Zhang, see you next time.” Xia Cheng Xi waves goodbye at him and leaves.
Jing Yi watches him leave.
This Xia Cheng Xi also had married once. Several years ago, his marriage failed. After the divorce, he keeps on ‘glaring like a tiger eyeing its prey’ for Wen Ren Xi. In the past, Jing Yi didn’t feel anything about it. But recent days he feel that this man, who is ten years younger than her, it’s quite annoying.
Ye Qing Xin is a bit worried when she looks at this. Wen Ren Xi seems to be firm with her decision as she doesn’t mind about Jing Yi. She feels that Xia Cheng Xi is quite a threat for Jing Yi as his profession and his appearance are quite good.
The time a woman is ruthless, she is more heartless than man.
Jing Yi returns to his seat and considers something. Xi Fan is sitting down on the high chair in front of him.
Ye Qing Xin notices that it’s not early anymore, she carries up Mu Mu and wants to tell Li Yi and Sun Yi to get ready to go home. But her phone suddenly rings.
She takes out her phone, it’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.
She answers it.
“Are you still at Xi Jie’s teahouse?”
“Em. I’ll go home now.”
“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.”
“You are done?”
Jing Bo Yuan goes to attend entrepreneur union gathering.
“Em.” He answers. “I’ll hang up first. Wait for me.”
“Okay.”
After a while, a familiar black car stops in front of the teahouse.
Ye Qing Xin watches Jing Bo Yuan gets off the car and gets inside the teahouse.
He greets Jing Yi first then he comes toward her table. Ye Qing Xin holds Mu Mu and stands up. Li Yi and Sun Yi holds each one of the other babies. Wang Yi tidies up all the things.
“Nian Nian told us to come over early. Let’s go.” Ye Qing Xin says.
Three days ago Old Madame Jing informed everyone to come over to Jing family residence to meet another granddaughter of Jing family.
Su Yu Zuo’s accident injury is quite serious that she needs half month to recover.
Jing Yi is somewhat uneasy about it.
Jing Bo Yuan takes Mu Mu from Ye Qing Xin’s hold and let Mu Mu lays down on his shoulder. He then holds Ye Qing Xin’s waist.
Jing Yi stands up and goes to settle the bill, then he leaves with both of them. Xi Fan also follows him.
In the past Xi Fan is sticked close with Wen Ren Xi. But recently she doesn’t stick close to her again. No one knows whether she has forgotten her owner or not. But every time she sees Wen Ren Xi, she will run over toward her but just stops not so close too her. She seems to be worried of something.
The time Ye Qing Xin is about to get on the car, she notices the lintel of a door. Wen Ren Xi chooses a name for the teahouse, it is called: NEUEHOFFNUNG.
Ye Qing Xin recently learns about German language, she knows that the meaning of that word is a new hope.
A new hope, is it mean that she wants to let go the past and get a new life?
The black car is driven home by Driver Lu. Jing Bo Yuan drives the white car, which Ye Qing Xin used to go to the teahouse.
The white car starts to move.
“Bo Yuan, do you think Er Shen really give up on Er Shu?”
“Whether she gives up or not on him, she should know it clearly.” Jing Bo Yuan drives the car calmly and steadily.
Ye Qing Xin still wants to say something but Mu Mu suddenly pees on her and makes her skirt wet.
“You little guy, how can you not talk when you want to pee?” She pokes on Mu Mu’s nose lightly.
“Tai Tai, Xiao Shao Ye is still little. If he can talk, wouldn’t it be too scary?” Wang Yi takes out a clean diaper and passes it to her.
Ye Qing Xin takes off Mu Mu’s wet diaper and slaps at his bottom lightly. She teaches him: “Next time if you want to pee, just snort a bit. Let Mama knows that you want to pee, then I will take you to pee so then you will not pee on your pants, get it?”
Mu Mu somehow emits out a “heng” sound, he acts like he understands Ye Qing Xin’s words.
“Xiao Shao Ye seems to understand Tai Tai’s words?” Wang Yi smiles: “Xiao Shao Ye is really smart.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and puts on a new diaper on Mu Mu. She then holds him, she looks at him on the eyes. “Is it painful when Mama hit your bottom?”
Mu Mu just looks at Ye Qing Xin with his big round eyes. Ye Qing Xin’s heart just melts.
The time they arrive at Jing family residence, the sun has set.
Ye Qing Xin takes off her seatbelt and takes Mu Mu to get off the car. Then suddenly Mu Mu is taken away from her. Jing Bo Yuan holds Mu Mu for her.
It always turns out like this. As long as Jing Bo Yuan is present, he will not let Ye Qing Xin holds the kids. He is afraid that she will be too tired. Actually a three months old baby is light, how can she be tired?
All of them get on the living room, it seems everyone has gathered. Jing Si and family are there. The time Ye Lin sees Ye Qing Xin, he happily greets her “Biao Sao”. Because during the long National Day holiday, he lived at Nan Shan Mansion and he looked at how genius Ye Qing Xin was in solving his difficult homework. Now he is Ye Qing Xin’s little fans.
“Biao Shao, these are Transformer robots that I bought with my allowance for the babies? Could I give it to them?”
Ye Lin passes a box of transformer robots with a blushing face.
“Transformer ah!” Ye Qing Xin says happily: “The time Bao Bao Men are older, they will be happy and like it. Let me thank Ye Lin Shu Shu for them.”
Ye Lin’s eyes are bright, “If Bao Bao like it, then next time I’ll buy again for them.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and strokes Ye Lin’s head. “Bao Bao are little, we need for several years till the time they like to play Transformer robots. No need to buy too much first. These are enough for them.”
Each one of Old Madame Jing and Old Mister Jing are holding a baby. Old Madame Jing holds Nian Nian and Old Mister Jing holds Mu Mu. Zhao Zhao is held by Jing Suo Suo. Jing Suo Suo takes a wefie with Zhao Zhao. Then she immediately posts it online with caption: “My family Da Zhi Zi turns even more handsome.”
Jing Xian Xian doesn’t approve this: “Don’t post the little kids’ photos online, it’s not safe.”
Jing Suo Suo replies without raising her head: “It’s okay, I edit it. I’ll show no actual apperance.”
After a while, Ye Qing Xin opens up her own Wechat and looks at the photo. On the photo, Zhao Zhao is edited to wear a gigantic sunglasses, he has cigarette on his mouth, he also wears a thumb yellow gold necklace. He looks so like a trendy big Ge Ge.
Ye Qing Xin: “……..”
After a while, a maid comes over and tells that Xiao Yan and Su Yu Zuo has arrived.
Su Yu Zuo just looks like the first time Ye Qing Xin met her. She looks like a naive young woman.
Old Madame Jing sees her and smiles. She asks with care: “How are you?”
Su Yu Zuo answers with a soft voice: “I’m better. Thank you for Nai Nai’s care.”
Then she greets everyone.
Xiao Yan still acts like his usual self. He is cold, his eyes don’t show any hint of warmness or feeling.
Jing Yi watches both of them.
The dinner is not ready yet so the maids just bring several sweets.
“I have understood your family condition, your father…. your foster father….” Old Madame Jing speaks up: “I’ll arrange someone to give him an amount of money. Then I’ll move you from registered permanent residence to Jing City. Either you want it to be in Jing family or Xiao family. You can decide it feely.”
Old Madame Jing has checked throughly about her new granddaughter. She has done the DNA test and investigation toward Su Yu Zuo’s family.
Su Yu Zuo’s mother indeed is Su Mei, her foster father is Su Yu Sheng, who was the man who ran away with Su Mei twenty years ago.
According to the investigation, Su Yu Zuo has a little sister, who is a year younger than yer. Her sister called Su Fen Diao. Su Mei has passed away for seven years, Su Fen Diao has passed away for two years because of an accident.
Now there’s only Su Yu Sheng, he was terminally ill.
“No need, Nai Nai.” Su Yu Zuo refuses politely: “I only have Papa left there, if I move away, he will have no one to depend on.”
Old Madame Jing wants to say something but she doesn’t
Moving her to Jing family’s household registration, indeed will turn Su Yu Zuo from a poor family daughter to a rich family daughter. But for Jing Yi, it might makes him be a talk around.
So her refusal is quite understandable.
The atmosphere turns quit.
Ye Qing Xin watches Su Yu Zuo’s pale yet serious face. Ye Qing Xin knows Su Yu Zuo’s not doing it for a show.
<cough> <cough> Su Yu Zuo starts to cough lightly.
“Why are you still coughing?” Jing Yi asks.
Su Yu Zuo looks at Jing Yi and says: “I’m okay, Papa don’t worry.”
She can call Jing Yi as her Papa so easily.
Jing Yi looks at her: “If you are unwell, you need to tell us.”
“I know, Papa, don’t worry.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at Su Yu Zuo and feels this woman is quite strange.
She refuses to move as if she cannot accept her new status but her way of calling Jing Yi as “Papa” shows that her admiration toward him.
It’s almost 07:00. The maid calls and tells them that the dinner is ready. Everyone moves toward the dining room.
The three babies are taken care by their nannies to play in the living room.
During the meal, Ye Qing Xin is surprised to notice that Xiao Yan, who always acts cool, unexpectedly takes a good care of Su Yu Zuo. He picks out the bone of the fish for Su Yu Zuo skillfully like he always does it for her.
The accident makes Su Yu Zuo broke her rib. Old Madame Jing asked the cook to prepare a carp fish stew. Though she doesn’t tell that it’s for Su Yu Zuo but this soup is good for recovery. It’s clear that Old Madame Jing does it with purpose.
