Chapter 223
Ye Qing Xin looks at her phone and reads “Yan Nai Nai”.
She answers it and Old Madame Yan just says happily: “Xin Xin, happy new year.”
Ye Qing Xin is somewhat feeling guilty, “Yan Nai Nai, happy new year, it should be me who call you to greet…”
“It’s all the same.” Old Madame Yan laughs happily and says: “It’s been days since we met, how are you?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Em, I’m very good. Thank you for your care Yan Nai Nai.”
“Are you at Jing family residence? They are treating you well right?”
Old Madame Yan’s caring attitude makes her remember about her dead grandma. If her grandma is still alive by now, she supposedly will ask the same question to her.
“They are all good toward me.”
They chat for a while and the call ends. Ye Qing Xin looks around the house, there’re many children around.
“What are you thinking about?” Jing Bo Yuan asks her, he drapes a coat on her shoulder.
The first day of the New Year starts with a great weather.
Ye Qing Xin closes her eyes: “I am thinking, the time our kids will be born and grow up. They should be like those kids. I am thinking about our Lao San (the youngest), he will be the smallest and be bullied by Ge Ge Jie Jie. He will report to you and you are unwilling to help them. Maybe you’ll also scold him to be useless. He will always be bullied….”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her belly and pulls her to his embrace.
Ye Qing Xin feels her face to be a bit cold, she buries her face on his chest.
In the afternoon, Jing Bo Yuan takes Ye Qing Xin to collateral branch of Jing family to pay a New Year visit. Ye Qing Xin gets a lot of red envelopes. On the way back home, they pass Yan family residence. Ye Qing Xin remembers about Old Madame Yan and suggests: “If not, let’s pay a visit to Yan Nai Nai?”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and says nothing. He just drives to Yan family residence.
The time they arrive, they notice a lot of cars park in front of the entrance gate of the house. It should be the guests’ car.
Ye Qing Xin just thinks about changing the time to visit. But she notices that Song Yu Ning is holding Old Madame Yan to come out of the house. Old Madame Yan walks quickly toward the entrance gate. She looks so happy.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t know why she looks so happy. She opens the door and gets off the car. She is getting ready to greet her.
Old Madame Yan stops in front of her and holds her hand: “I just say that Xin Xin is coming right? You didn’t believe me before.”
Song Yu Ning is surprised and says: “Old Madame, you have supernatural power, how can you know Jing Tai Tai will come?”
Old Madame Yan laughs: “I can feel it.”
Ye Qing Xin is confused. She looks at Song Yu Ning.
Song Yu Ning explains: “Before Old Madame was chatting with Old Madame Gu. Suddenly she just stood up and walks outside. She said that you are coming. I didn’t believe it. We came out and just saw your car.” She continues: “Old Madame Gu is our Old Madame’s older sister.”
She also is Gu Xing De’s biological mother and Gu Giao’s biological Nai Nai.
Old Madame Yan says: “It’s cold outside. Let’s get in to the house and sit down. Also A Yuan, come, come, come inside to sit. It’s been a long time since I met Xin Xin. I miss you a lot.”
Ye Qing Xin thinks that Gu Xing De and family are inside, she tries to decline politely: “No need, Yan Nai Nai. I just come to pay you a New Year visit. Happy New Year. We still have things to do. We will not come inside.” She says it and Jing Bo Yuan takes out several boxes of gift. Ye Qing Xin takes it from him and passes it to Song Yu Ning. “This is my little regard, please Nai Nai take it.”
Old Madame Yan is a bit disappointed: “Come inside and accompany Nai Nai to chat for a while, can you?”
Ye Qing Xin couldn’t control her feeling, she wants to say something. But suddenly Huang Wei Juan comes out from the house. She is wearing a dark purple mink fur coat.
“I really want to know who can let Gan Ma (God-mother) be so excited that she runs outside so quickly. So it’s turn out it is Jing Tai Tai. Since you are here, come inside to sit down. Why are you standing outside the gate. Is it because we as Yan family doesn’t know how treat our guests, that we let our guest stay outside.”
Old Madame Yan knows that Huang Wei Juan dislikes Ye Qing Xin. Though she really wants to be with Ye Qing Xin, yet she doesn’t force her to stay. She says: “If you guys are busy, then you can go. Tonight several families we gather together for a dinner. We can chat that time.”
Jing He Xiao Cheng Ji Yan Sheng, these seven families have always been in a good relationship. Every year for celebrating New Years they will gather together in a big private room. To enhance their relationship.
After the car leaves, Old Madame Yan turns her body and looks at Huang Wei Juan coldly. Then she just gets inside.
Huang Wei Juan feels awkward and pouts. She really hates this.
For the seven families gathering, this year it’s Ji family’s turn to be the host. The location of the gathering will be at Vinci group’s hotel.
After leaving Yan family house, they don’t go back to their house. Jing Bo Yuan takes her to random places. He also buys her a lot of foods or drinks. It’s an interesting afternoon.
At seven o’clock, they arrive at Vinci group’s hotel. They go to the restaurant. Inside the private room, a lot of people are there already. Everyone is wearing an expensive and pretty dress with a high quality of jewelry.
Ye Qing Xin just dresses simply with her ponytail.
Ye Qing Xin drinks her juice and sits down on the sofa. She doesn’t care about anyone, her gaze is just on Jing Bo Yuan, who is talking with another guest.
“Guys, look at her poor and pedantic style, a pheasant will always be a pheasant. The time she enters a phoenix nest, she cannot turn into a phoenix. I really cannot understand, why does Bo Yuan like her? I hear that she also brings her idiot Di Di.”
“Ssst! Don’t say those words. Jing Nai Nai now is really protective of her. If she hears you, and tells Jing Nai Nai. You will be dead.”
“Jing Nai Nai will hit me?”
“Okay, stop it.”
It’s a chat between a member of Xiao family and Cheng family.
Ye Qing Xin just keeps on watching Jing Bo Yuan, Jing Bo Yuan notices it and looks back at her.
After a while, several familiar faces come inside the private room. Wen Ren Xi, Jing Suo Suo, and Song Xian Yu.
Three of them greet everyone around and comes over to sit down with Ye Qing Xin.
“Xi Jie, it’s been a long time.” Ye Qing Xin greets Wen Ren Xi.
Wen Ren Xi is also dressed up in simple style. She just wears a simple white sweater with her shoulder-length straight hair. She brings Xi Fan with her.
Ye Qing Xin remembers words from last night. She asks: “Xi Jie, how old is Xi Fan?”
Wen Ren Xi strokes her cat’s head: “Twenty years old.” She then says to Xi Fan: “Tell the beautiful Jie Jie, are you twenty years old?”
Xi Fan just “meow” at Ye Qing Xin like she says: “Yes, I am twenty years old.”
Ye Qing Xin is surprised: “She really has a long life.”
Ji Yi comes over and greets Wen Ren Xi: “Xiao Xi, come here.”
Wen Ren Xi follows Ji Yi, who is taking her to the sofa, where Jing Yi is sitting down.
“Jing San Shen (Ji Yi) is preparing a match-making between Xi Jie and Ji Er Shu (Jing Yi)?”
Ye Qing Xin nods and asks: “How do you know?”
“Jing Er Shu is unmarried man till now. Xi Jie waits for him almost twenty years old. Jing San Shen takes Xi Jie there is with purpose, and it’s clear.” Song Xian Yu says: “Xi Jie is the bravest woman that I have ever encountered. Without any hope, she unexpectedly can wait for twenty years, I really hope that Jing Er Shu takes fancy on her. Don’t let her down…”
Ye Qing Xin drinks her juice: “You cannot force feeling.”
Song Xian Yu sighs: “I know but I just hope that Xi Jie can get a good ending. A woman like her is like a wild chrysanthemum in the morning. It’s not eye-catching and not eye-charming but I really like her.”
Ye Qing Xin wants to say something more……
“Xin Xin.” Old Madame Yan calls after her.
Ye Qing Xin turns her head and notices the smiling old woman.
