Jing Bo Yuan gets a call from the vice-president of Bo Wei, he goes to the other side to answer it.

He Shu E watches him and she cannot explain her complicated feeling.

That year she was too irrational that she was sure Jing Bo Yuan pushed her down. She was also too sure that Jing Bo Yuan forced Su Mu Cheng to do the suicide. Now the time she recalls back everything in rational way, she realizes that everything might not as what she thought. She even feels confused how can she was so sure that time.

At the nightfall, Jing Zong comes by to pick He Shu E up for dinner.

At night, the triplet has fallen asleep. Ye Qing Xin lays down inside Jing Bo Yuan’s embrace and asks: “Ma and Pa has reconciled?”

Jing Bo Yuan just answers: “Not sure.”

“I think they are. You didn’t see how happy Pa is nowadays?”

“You are quite caring of them?”

“They are your parent, as their daughter-in-law of course I hope they can be in good term. That way, you also can be happier right?”

Jing Bo Yuan kisses her forehead.

The night pa.s.ses calmly.

The next morning.

Ye Qing Xin goes to pick up Ye Qing Guo, who is staying at Tai Zheng Ting’s house for a month. He seems to be ‘indulge in pleasure and forget home’.

Tai Zheng Ting is doing his business so he cannot take care of Ye Qing Guo for the whole day. So he employs a nanny to take care of him.

Ye Qing Xin gives a call to Tai Zheng Ting to inform him, then she directly goes to pick Ye Qing Guo up. The house in the same area as the area they met Tai Zheng Ting for the first time.

She goes upstair and looks for the apartment. She presses the bell.

The door is opened.

Ye Qing Xin looks at the person and be startled.

It’s Li Shu Fen.

“Li A Yi (Auntie Li).” YE Qing Xin responds quickly, she greets her politely.

Li Shu Fen looks awkward but she still smiles and welcomes Ye Qing Xin inside.

“Where is Xiao Guo?” Ye Qing Xin takes off her shoes. She cannot see Ye Qing Guo.

Li Shu Fen smiles: “He knows that you are coming to pick him so he is hiding inside the room and is unwilling to go out. These period of time, he is close to Tai Zheng Ting, how can he want to leave his Papa.” Li Shu Fen takes her to the living room. “Sit down, I’ll pour a cup of tea for you.”

Li Shu Fen’s tone is soft and polite. She doesn’t show any resentment.

“No need, I am no thirsty. You don’t mind of Xiao Guo’s ident.i.ty?”

“What should I mind?” Li Shu Fen asks back. She sit down on the opposite of Ye Qing Xin. “Qiao Qiao is gone. For those matters in the past, there’s no use to bicker about it. Xiao Guo is Zheng Ting’s son. To think carefully about it, Zheng Ting, s.h.i.+ Yun, s.h.i.+ s.h.i.+ are his closest ones. You have your own family to take care. We should take care more of Xiao Guo.”

Li Shu Fen looks at Ye Qing Xin. “I heard that you have three sons. If you don’t mind, just let me take care of Xiao Guo. In the future, I’ll remarry with Zheng Ting, I can be regarded as his step-mother.”

Ye Qing Xin frowns.

She can conclude that Li Shu Fen wants to let Ye Qing Guo stays there.

Maybe if it’s in the past, she perhaps will think and believe that Li Shu Fen’s real motive is taking care of Ye Qing Guo, but now…… her motive should not be pure.

“No need to trouble you.” Ye Qing Xin smiles and says: “Since Xiao Guo is little, he always follows me. I am used to it. In the future, I think it’s more suitable for him to follow me. Oh right, where is he? I will bring him home first. I’ll not disturb you.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t know which Ye Qing Guo in, it’s inappropriate too for her to look around. So she raises her voice and says: “Xiao Guo, Jie Jie comes to pick you up. Hurry up come out and follow Jie Jie home.”

No one replies.

Ye Qing Xin frowns and says: “Xiao Guo, if you are not coming out now, Jie Jie will leave.”

There’s still no reply. Li Shu Fen smiles: “He likes to stay here, just let him stay here. Anyway I have no business, I can take care of him.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Li Shu Fen. “For taking care of Xiao Guo, you even don’t go to take care your daughter Tai s.h.i.+ s.h.i.+? I heard from Tai s.h.i.+ Yun that Tai s.h.i.+ s.h.i.+ cannot move her legs and hands? You should mind her more. I don’t think Xiao Guo is more important that Tai s.h.i.+ s.h.i.+ in your heart.”

Ye Qing Xin’s words are a bit harsh.

Li Shu Fen’s face changes. “Of course I’ll take care of s.h.i.+ s.h.i.+. It’s just Xiao Guo is Zheng Ting’s kid, I also have duty to take care of him.”

“You are really wise and kind wife.” Ye Qing Xin says it and stands up. She picks up her handbag and says: “Xiao Guo, since you don’t want to go home with Jie Jie, then Jie Jie will come over tomorrow again to pick you up.”

Then she goes to the door.

She changes her shoes and when she is about to exit. One of the room is opened. Ye Qing Guo runs out and looks unhappy. “Jie Jie, didn’t you say that you want to play hide and seek with me? How can you just leave without finding me?”

Behind Ye Qing Guo, there’s a fifty years old married woman. Ye Qing Xin looks at her and she could guess what is happening.

Li Shu Fen doesn’t want to let her pick Ye Qing Guo up.

Ye Qing Xin wants to laugh when she is thinking about this. Before she was unsure, but not she knows it clearly.

She smiles at Ye Qing Guo. “Jie Jie cannot find you so I just can leave. Next time don’t hide too well.”

“Then let’s play again!” Ye Qing Guo immediately turns happy and holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand.

“You have stayed here for quite some time, you should go home. Do you want to go home with Jie JIe?”

“Yes.” Ye Qing Guo just answers. His both eyes are s.h.i.+nning but it quickly dims again. He hesitates: “but…. I also want to be with Papa, Jie Jie, let’s bring Papa home too?”

“Xioa Guo, didn’t you say yesterday that you want to hear Papa’s story everyday? If Xiao Guo stays here, A Yi will let Papa tell you the story every night, how about it?” Li Shu Fen is worried.

“Xiao Guo, listen to Jie Jie’s words, Papa is working hard. Xiao Guo loves Papa right? If you love Papa, you shouldn’t make it hard for Papa. In the future when Papa is not so busy, Jie Jie will take Xiao Guo to meet Papa.”

“Xiao Guo…..” Li Shu Fen wants to say something else.

Ye Qing Xin just directly cuts her off. “You have watched Xiao Guo’s movie.”

“…..” Li Shu Fen is startled.

“Li A Yi, I understand well what kind of person you are. Everyone knows it well so you don’t need to say any trivial thing.”

Li Shu Fen tries to calm her emotion. “I just see that you are having hard time to take care of Xiao Guo. I have a good heart and want to share the responsibility with you. If you don’t want it, then it’s okay. Why should you attack me by innuendo?”

“If you have a good intention, then I’m sorry I might be too sensitive. But let me make myself clear. I’ll take care of Xiao Guo. I let him stay here just I don’t want to limit his interaction with his father. I never want to hand over the responsibility to take care of him. Though my sons need me to take care of them, there’re people to take care of Xiao Guo at home. I will not trouble you. I’ll go home first. Goodbye.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t care about anything too much. She helps Ye Qing Guo to put on his shoes and holds him to go downstair.

Ye Qing Guo keeps on chattering on the way home.

“Li Shen Shen and Lou Shen Shen said that Jie Jie will come over and play hide and seek with me. They let me to hide inside the bedroom. I heard Jie Jie call me, I wanted to go out but Lou Shen Shen said that I will lose if I come out. I will not get chocolate anymore so I didn’t answer your call. The time Jie Jie almost left, Lou Shen Shen held me and covered my mouth. Heng! She is a meanie. In the future I’ll not play with her again.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Ye Qing Guo’s angry face.

“Lou Shen Shen were just playing with you. If Xiao Guo doesn’t like her, don’t play again with her.” Ye Qing Xin doesn’t want to influence him.

The time car is reaching out the exit, Ye Qing Xin notices Tai s.h.i.+ Yun. She nods at Ye Qing Xin and Ye Qing Xin opens her window to nod back.

The car goes out of the apartment complex.

“Jie Jie, does Xu Jie Jie call you?” Ye Qing Guo asks Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin smiles. “What is it? You are missing Xu Jie Jie?”

“No, I just ask around.” Ye Qing Guo looks over and doesn’t say with Ye Qing Xin again.

Ye Qing Guo and Xu Jin Huan have known and interacted for quite long time, perhaps he has feeling toward her.

Tai s.h.i.+ Yun gets inside the apartment.

Prankk!

There’s a sound of breaking vase.

Tai s.h.i.+ Yun goes to the living room and indeed she sees the angry Li Shu Fen.

“Ma, who is making you angry?” Tai s.h.i.+ Yun asks and takes the broom and dustpan to clean it up.

“In just a year of not meeting, that woman dares to speak hostilely to me. It makes me so angry!” Li Shu Fen says furiously.

“I said that woman will not hand over Xiao Guo to you but you don’t believe me.” Tai s.h.i.+ Yun says calmly.

“What are you saying? Xiao Guo is your Di Di. I am okay with you not want to help me to get the custody, why are you make a sarcastic talk to me!” Li Shu Fen says. “I was confused why Ye Qing Xin be so kind to take care of that idiot. So turns out she has motive. She sends him to work at the entertainment industry to earn money. How can I not think about it?”

Li Shu Fen is so angry.

“That woman is sophisticated!”

Tai s.h.i.+ Yun tries to persuade her. “Your relations.h.i.+p with Pa just turn better. I advise you to not make decision without his authorization. During his most difficult times, Ye Qing Xin is the one that helps him out. I can see how grateful he is toward Ye Qing Xin.”

If not how can he take care of Ye Qing Guo so considerately.

The time Li Shu Fen suggests to strive for Ye Qing Guo’s custody, Tai Zheng Ting just says directly: “Don’t make a trouble, you shouldn’t make.”

It shows that he has no intention to get a custody of Ye Qing Guo.

He knows clearly that Ye Qing Xin will not let Ye Qing Guo go.

“I know that your Pa is thankful toward her, I am grateful to her too. But Xiao Guo is our Tai family’s child. We have reason to take care of him. How can we let an outsider take care of him. Everyone will laugh and talk about us.”

Tai s.h.i.+ Yun closes her eyes. “Ma, just forget it. Don’t forget that Ye Qing Xin is not only Jing Bo Yuan’s wife but also parts of Sheng and Yan family. Can you fight Jing Bo Yuan? Can you fight Sheng and Yan family? It’s no use to fight for it, moreover…. Ye Qing Guo is raised by Ye Qing Xin. We shouldn’t do that.”

“Why we shouldn’t do that? He is your Pa’s son. The court should give the right to raise him to us? Okay, I will leave to go to visit s.h.i.+ s.h.i.+. I’ll leave you here.”

Tai s.h.i.+ Yun:”…….”

Pak!

Li Shu Fen leaves angrily.

Tai s.h.i.+ Yun sits down on the sofa. Somehow she can understand how can their family be in this position and Ye Qing Xin raises to that position.

Maybe it’s about good and evil action.

She thinks about it and calls Ye Qing Xin.

It is answered. She tells about Li Shu Fen’s plan to sue Ye Qing Xin for the right to raise up Ye Qing Guo.

Ye Qing Xin expects it.

“Thank you.” Ye Qing Xin thanks her.
