Chapter 454
He Yi Yi hang up the call and lays down on her stomach on the bed. She suddenly remembers Dou Jin Wen.
Dou Jin Wen and Dou Weir are cousins. Perhaps Dou Jin Wen could persuade Dou Weir. Thinking about this, she calls Dou Jin Wen.
These two days Dou Jin Wen and Hu Jing are still in ‘cold war’. They are like two strangers living in the same house. The time He Yi Yi calls him, Dou Jin is sitting down and smoking on the living room, while Hu Jing is washing dishes in the kitchen.
Hearing the ringtone, Hu Jing stops washing and looks at Dou Jin Wen. Dou Jin Wen is going to the balcony to answer the call. Her eyes show her rage after she sees how Dou Jin Wen locks the balcony.
Without thinking, she could guess who is the caller.
She controls her anger. She really wants to see what Dou Jin Wen’s plan. If he dares to have an affair and ask for a divorce, she would embarrass him!
——-
“He is quite good, but we are not compatible for each other.” This is Dou Weir’s review for Old Madame Dou.
“Since he is a good man, then just try to be friend with him first. You should see first whether you are compatible for each other or not. The most important thing Wu Zhu Ren is a good mother-in-law, in the future, you wouldn’t suffer. Marriage is not only two people’s feeling but also two families. If you have a mother-in-law, who loves you, you would have a good life. You have no experience now, so you might not know.” Old Madame Dou chatters.
Dou Weir massages Old Madame Dou’s both legs and listens to her silently. The time Old Madame Dou is done, she just says: “I know Nai Nai. It’s just we are not compatible for each other. Moreover, his family might not like me. You are overthinking this.”
“No, I’ve showed Wu Zhu Ren your photo. She also said that her son likes you.”
“Photo?”
“Your old photo. I have one.”
The photo that Old Madame Dou means is her old high school photo. She is so shocked. “Nai Nai, how could show it? It’s been long time ago. She might be disappointed when she looks at me now.”
Old Madame Dou seems to be persistent. “I’ll ask her about her son’s impression toward you.”
The next day Old Madame Dou is disappointed to hear from Wu Zhu Ren.
“I’m sorry, it’s my mistake. I don’t understand the thing clearly. My son has someone that he likes at school. I’m afraid this is a waste effort. I have few people around Weir age, do you want me to help to introduce them to her?”
Old Madame Dou is a bit unhappy with this, yet she doesn’t express it. She just says: “Alright we could just think that our Weir has no fate with your family. I would mention it to Weir.”
Wu Zhu Ren really feels apologetic about this. Yesterday Wu Kang came home and told her that he has someone that he likes. She is in the same class as her. She has great achievement and pretty face. Yet she doesn’t mind him. Last night she suddenly called him to have dinner so he thinks that there’s no chance between him and Dou Weir.
That brat, how could he not mention it to her earlier? Wu Zhu Ren scolds him. The next day she comes over to bring present for Old Madame Dou.
“Okay, I’ll wait till you discuss with Weir. I’ll arrange the time and place. This time I will try to make sure those guys are good. Have a good rest. I ‘ll not disturb you again.”
After Wu Zhu Ren leaves, Old Madame Dou sighs. She looks worried.
These days, she could feel that her time is almost up. Though she is in a good mood, but she feels her health is deteriorating. It’s so weird yet clear for her.
What would happen to her granddaughter when she is gone?
Dou Weir comes out from the bathroom and smiles: “They don’t like me, are you so disappointed with it?”
Old Madame Dou: “How could you smile?”
“Do you want to see me crying?” Dou Weir pretends to wipe her tears: “Since Wu Da Ge doesn’t like me, why should I live? It’s better for me to die.”
Hearing Dou Weir’s nonsense talk, her face turns dark: “You are nonsense!”
“I couldn’t cry or laugh. It’s hard to be a people. Being your granddaughter is much harder.”
“……..” Old Mdame Dou is angry.
Dou Weir smiles: “Okay, I’ll stop. Alright I forget about something. In two days, I’ll go to Shang Hai. I’ll be back in a week. I will ask a nurse to come over and take care of you. If you have something, you need to call me. Don’t worry to disturb me. Please don’t hide it from me like last time.”
Old Madame Dou is a bit unwilling to part with her. “You are going in a business trip?”
“yes, I have been on leave for so many days. I have responsibility so I couldn’t refuse to go on business trip. After I’m back, I’ll have a rest again and accompany you.”
This time Dou Jin Wen gets in, he brings a lot of things for Old Madame Dou.
“Nai Nai, Weir is here too.”
“Why do you always bring a lot of things, I haven’t even finished the last time. If you have money, you should save it, in the future, give less trouble to Dou Weir.”
“It’s just food. It’s nothing.” Dou Jin Wen says: “Moreover spending money for you, is worthy, right?”
Old Madame Dou smiles: “You aren’t busy today?”
Dou Jin Wen: “I’ll leave soon.”
“Are you okay now with Hu Jing?”
Mentioning Hu Jing makes Dou Jin Wen’s face changes.
“It’s great, don’t worry.”
“You ah, don’t fight with your wife. You need to try your best to tolerate her, okay? Being good toward her, and live a good life….”
Dou Jin Wen is a bit impatient to hear it.
“I know Nai Nai. I still have business to do, I’ll leave first. I still have things that I forget to bring up, Weir please go down with me and take it.”
It’s clear that Dou Jin Wen wants to talk with Dou Weir.
Dou Weir nods.
“If you have something to talk, just tell me here.” They go out of the sickroom and Dou Weir just gets into the point.
“Since you could guess it, then I’ll get into the point. Last night Yi Yi called me, she wanted to ask for your help to persuade Ji Yan Xi to stay. She was crying so pathetically on the phone. She said that Ji Yan Xi is going away because of you. If you talk to him, he would definitely listen to you. I don’t know what’s going on between you guys. But, it’s better for you to help He Yi Yi to persuade Ji Yan Xi. You are in the relationship with He Ji Fan, helping her is helping yourself too.”
Dou Weir looks at him. “Then did she tell you that I have refused her request?”
Dou Jin Wen has expected her response, he isn’t’ angry. He just smiles and says: “Honestly, I don’t hope that you go and persuade Ji Yan Xi. Yi Yi is infatuated with him. If he is going away and not coming back, Yi Yi’s feeling toward him will go away. That time as long as I try hard, maybe I will have a chance.”
“Are you saying sincere words, or you just want to provoke me to help?”
Dou Jin Wen says: “Then let’s see how clear you are about me. You also could think it in both ways.”
“Da Ge, don’t forget Miao Miao. You are his father, you should take responsibility for him.”
“Of course I will take responsibility of Mia Miao and only take responsibility for Miao Miao. It’ll not affect my ambition. What do you think?”
They go to the parking area. Dou Jin Wen takes two plastic bags out from the trunk: “These are for Nai Nai, help her to try it out. If it’s not suit, then you could go over and change the size.”
There’re tags on the clothes.
Dou Weir looks at Dou Jin Wen seriously: “I don’t care what you plan to do. But if you and Da Sao fight, you guys aren’t allowed to involve Nai Nai. If something bad happened to her because of you guys. I’ll not let you guys oof easily. Not only He Ji Fan, my friend is also the owner of Bo Wei group. She also has power to kick you off Jing City.
She says it and leaves, she doesn’t care about how Dou Jin Wen takes her words.
Dou Jin Wen’s face turns sour, he doesn’t like to be threaten.
But indeed he is terrified of Dou Weir’s threat. It’s too easy for Bo Wei’s group to attack him.
Actually Dou Jin Wen’s words toward Dou Weir are quite smart.
Whether Dou Weir goes to persuade Dou JIn Wen or not, it’s harmless and quite beneficial for Dou Jin Wen. It would increase the possibility of him and He Yi Yi getting close.
Dou Weir thinks about Dou Jin Wen’s words and frowns deeply. Dou Weir has no good feeling toward He Yi Yi, but after all she is He Ji Fan’s sitster, Dou Weir doesn’t want her to be deceived by Dou Jin Wen.
If they are really loving each other, Dou Weir feels there’s no reason to stop but it seems that Dou Jin Wen has motive to get close to her.
She thinks about it and calls Ji Yan Xi.
“Weir?” Ji Yan Xi is surprised to get a call from Dou Weir.
Dou Weir asks: “I heard that you are going to Africa to be volunteer?”
Ji Yan Xi turns silent for a while. “Yi Yi told you about it? She asked you to persuade me?”
Dou Weir doesn’t deny. “She isn’t willing to let you go, she thinks that you go to Africa because of me. She complained to me.”
“I’m sorry. I add trouble for you.”
“I tell you these not for you to apologize to me, I also don’t mean for you to scold He Yi Yi. I just hope that you could make it clear to her. It’s best if you can try to persuade her to support you and not seeing you leave with a lot of complains and sadness.”
Dou Weir feels that rather than let He Yi Yi resent Ji Yan Xi. Then forgets about him, it’s better for her keeps on longing for Ji Yan Xi.
If she keeps on longing for Ji Yan Xi, she wouldn’t give any chance for Dou Jin Wen.
Ji Yan Xi listens to her words and laughs bitterly: “Weir, do you tell me all of these for He Da Ge? Because Yi Yi is his Mei Mei. Is it?”
“Not completely. It’s also for me.” Dou Weir says honestly.
If Dou JIn Wen and Hu Jing are fighting, they would definitely influence Nai Nai’s illness and Miao Miao too. Miao Miao is an innocent and cute kid.
Dou Weir had ever met Mia Miao, she loves to be hugged. Every time they meet, they all are very happy. She loves her nephew too.
“I know, I’ll explain better to Yi Yi.” Ji Yan Xi says it and turns silent. He asks her: “Weir, are you happy to be together with He Da Ge?”
Dou Weir doesn’t give a direct answer: “I”m very good.”
“It’s great.”
She returns to the sick room. “What did Jin Wen say to you?” Dou Jin Wen is a trickster, how could Old Madame Dou not know about it.
“This time you really treat him wrongly. He really just gave me this. Look, he bought you two dresses. Let’s try. If the size is not right, I’ll go there and change it.”
“Really?”
“Really. Let’s try it. Da Ge is filial toward you.”
Old Madame Dou takes the clothes and tries it.
“I always be here, why should he buy me clothes.”
The clothes are suitable for her.
“Da Ge has a great eyes. It’s very suiting for you.
“Now I’ll go and wash it for you. After it’s dry, you could wear it.”
“You need to wash new clothes?”
Old Madame Dou doesn’t understand about the city habit. In the city, for new clothes are needed to wash to make sure it is clean.
“It’s better to wash it. So we don’t need to worry. Eat the fruits and listens to the Beijing opera. I’ll be done soon.
Dou Weir takes the clothes and washes it.
———
For the whole day, Dou Weir doesn’t call or send message. He Ji Fan glares at his phone. Doesn’t she know that he is angry?
Last night he was so angry that he didn’t send her off. In the past when they were together, sometimes she made him angry. At most for half day, she would call him. As long as she called him, his anger would vanish.
Now the time he is angry, forget it if she doesn’t call him. How could she not do anything.
He finally experiences the way he treated his ex-girlfriends. Is it a retribution for him?
His assistant gets in to remind him of the business dinner later. He could sense that the boss is in a bad mood. So he just wants to leave after reminding him.
“Wait.” He Ji Fan says. He sounds so terrifying.
The assistant stops and turns his body. He is waiting for his order.
“If your girlfriend doesn’t take initiative to contact you, and sometimes when you contact, she acts like she doesn’t like to respond. Then one day you notice that she is going to blind date and you are very angry. But she still doesn’t contact you or explain to you. What does it mean?”
“It definitely because she doesn’t want to be me. When a woman likes a man, she loves to be with that man….”
He Ji Fan’s face changes completely. The assistant is so shocked. After a while, he really wants to slap his own face. He feels that he should give a smarter answer.
“Also, also it’s possible, it’s because…… i, my girlfriend is too busy. Sometimes for work, women are working much harder than men… I should try to be open-minded. Right?”
“Go away!”
“Okay okay, I’ll go away now.” This is the first time the assistant notices that the words “Go away” are gentle and pleasant.
He Ji Fan watches his phone for a long time and then he just stands up and wears his coat. He leaves his office.
The time his car stops in front of the hospital, Chen Meng calls him. “A Fan, where are you? Zhou Zhou keeps on crying and he doesn’t stop. Come back quickly, he is abit hot….”
He Ji Fan makes a u-turn and goes back home.
The time he gets in the house, he hears sound of happy laughter. He gets inside the living room and notices there are mother and daughter, Old Madame Dou and Chen Meng.
Zhou Zhou is playing happily with his train, he looks energetic.
“A Fan, you are home.” Chen Meng smiles happily: “This one is Mama’s best friend. I don’t know whether you remember or not. Yun Xi Miao, Yun A Yi (Auntie Yun). You always loved to be held by her when you were little. This is Yun A Yi’s daughter, Lu Lu. Come over and get to know her.
He Ji Fan raises his eyebrows. He greets them and lowers his head to hold Zhou Zhou, who is running toward him.
“Ma, didn’t you say that Zhou Zhou is sick? I think Zhou Zhou is not sick?”
Being openly exposed make Chen Meng’s face turns awkward. She glares at He Ji Fan and tries to shift the topic of discussion. “Lu Lu is great at playing cello so this time she would hold a concert here. She comes over especially to give us ticket. Tomorrow night let’s go together to support Lu Lu. Lu Lu is really a great lady.”
Though she says it for Yun Xi Miao but she actually just wants to remind He Ji Fan that Dou Weir is unsuitable to be part of He family.
He Ji Fan smiles and says: “Okay, Weir also wants to listen to the opera. Tomorrow I’ll take her too. Oh, let me introduce for a while. Weir is a my girlfriend, later on let’s meet face to face.
