Chapter 431
He Zhi Chou just calms down when he gets into Dou Weir’s embrace. He closes his eyes, he buries his eyes on his arm. He looks safe and satisfied.
Except He Ji Fan, no one could understand what is happening. Both Old Madame He and Chen Meng are stupefied.
“A Fan, what is, what is happening? Zhou Zhou, how could he…..” Old Madame He looks at both of them.
Basically she is sure that Zhou Zhou’s recent longing for Mama is related to Dou Weir.
“I already told you, Zhou Zhou loves Dou Weir. No one is more suitable to be Zhou Zhou’s Mama then Wei Weir.” He Ji Fan says. He looks at Dou Weir with soft gaze.
Old Madame He looks at Dou Weir, then looks at Ye Yu s.h.i.+, whose face has turned sour.
Now Zhou Zhou is sick, he has been crying since this morning. It’s a great thing that he could stop crying now. She loves her great grandson dearly so she wouldn’t make thing hard for Zhou Zhou.
She plans to talk about it later on when Zhou Zhou is discharged.
Thinking about this, Old Madame He says to Ye Yu s.h.i.+: “Zhou Zhou was sick, he hasn’t eaten anything. Yu s.h.i.+ ah, I want to go back and cook for him. Accompany me to come home.”
Ye Yu s.h.i.+ nods.
“s.h.i.+ Xiao Jie (Ms s.h.i.+), you also have business here anymore, you should go home too. Zhou Zhou has his Papa to take care of him.”
Before she leaves, she looks at Dou Weir, Dou Weir notices it and she just smiles to provoke her.
Dou Weir always remembers how s.h.i.+ Ying treated her; what she did to Dou Weir.
Chen Meng wants to say something but looking at Zhou Zhou, she just swallows her words. She just says: “Okay, I’ll leave now.” Then she leaves the sickroom.
Zhou Zhou is a weak body so he frequently has fever. Every time the blood test shows that there’s nothing to worry. This time he just be hospitalized for two days. On the third day, he is discharged.
Because Dou Weir just came back abroad, her agency gives her two days holiday. She spends all of it at the hospital. After getting well, Zhou Zhou and Dou Weir have even intimate and closer relations.h.i.+p.
Hu Jing sees Dou Weir and He Ji Fan with He Chi Zho are holding hands in the parking area. She is startled and immediately takes out her phone. When she is back home, she shares it to his husband.
“Look at this. Don’t you think that they look like a family? Tell me do you think He Tai Tai would take care of it?”
Dou Jin Wen just smiles: “Our Dou Weir is very skillful.”
This time it’s already the end of December, Jing City’s weather is getting colder.
Dou Weir wears her formal dress and attends the national fas.h.i.+on company’s activity. The activity is held outside so a lot of people are s.h.i.+vering because of the cold. Dou Weir is feeling cold too because she wears a model dress. Her skin turns a bit red.
After the photo session, her a.s.sistant immediately takes a fur jacket and covers her with it. Then the a.s.sistant also pa.s.ses her a bottle of ginger tea and takes her to the resting room.
Dou Weir feels better after drinking several gulps of ginger tea.
“Drink more. it’s not good if you get flu.” Her manager reminds her.
Dou Weir jokes: “I’m used to this. How could I get flu easily. Do I have anything tomorrow?”
The manager looks at her schedule: “Tomorrow night you have a business dinner. That time the G.o.dfather of the fas.h.i.+on industry would attend too——“
Dou Weir’s phone suddenly rings so the manager stops.
She answers it, Zhou Zhou says: “Mama…. Mama.”
He sounds happy.
Honestly every time Dou Weir hears his voice, she feels complicated. If he is not s.h.i.+ Ying’s son, it would be better.”
She chats with the little guy for a while and hangs up. She asks to her manager: “Then?”
“I—-“
“I’m sorry, could I come inside?” Her manager is cut off once again. The resting room’s door is opened. s.h.i.+ Ying comes inside. Her words sound polite but her action is not. “I want to chat with Dou Xiao Jie, do you have time?”
s.h.i.+ Ying also comes to attend the activity.
They met each other before but they just don’t mind each other.
The manager and a.s.sistant look at Dou Weir. Dou Weir nods. They both just leave and close the door.
s.h.i.+ Ying ma.s.sages her wrist and sits down on the opposite of Dou Weir: “Dou Xiao Jie, you are prepared to be with Zhou Zhou’s stepmother?”
Dou Weir holds the cup of ginger tea and smiles. She declines to say anything else.
s.h.i.+ Ying speaks in calmer tone: “Dou Xiao Jie, do you still remember that I’m Zhou Zhou’s biological mother? Wait till he grows up and could understand more. He would know the truth. Tell me do you think he would blame you for separating his father and mother and make him to be unable to reunite with his mother?”
“I remember that you had miscarriage before, you lose one of your oviduct right? Being with Ji Fan for so long time before, you weren’t pregnant. I think in the future you might not be able to get pregnant. That time Zhou Zhou would be the only grandson of He family. All the He family’s a.s.sets would be Zhou Zhou’s. What could you get later on?”
“You are still young, you are around ten years older than him. What do you plan for being together with him? One day he might have another mistress with a great belly coming to you. Don’t you think it’s tired to have that kind of life?”
“Twenty years later or perhaps thirty years later, you would become older. Ji Fan would not be interested to you. You have no child, Zhou Zhou’s biological mother is still alive. Don’t you think that time you would feel awkward?
“In your age, you should long for faithful marriage unto death, right? You should find someone that is very considerate.”
Her words sound that she hopes that Dou Weir would get back on the right path.
Dou Weir looks at s.h.i.+ Ying: “Thank you for your reminder, are you done?”
s.h.i.+ Ying notices that Dou Weir plans to remain unmoved. She frowns and looks at the woman in front of her. She seems to change a lot in two years. That time she was just twenty years old woman, she was greedy of vain things. She was so impulsive too. If she had no Ye Qing Xi beside her, she could frame Dou Weir easily of her early miscarriage.
Yes, He Zhi Chou is not her biological son.
That time she indeed was pregnant with He Ji Fan’s child but during her trimester, the baby is stillbirth. She went to the hospital secretly to abort it. She was unwilling to waste it.
At first she wanted to find a chance to frame her miscarriage to Dou Weir, she asked Dou Weir out for several times. Dou Weir wasn’t willing to meet her. It’s rare chance that once she met Dou Weir in front of the hospital. She wanted to drag her into a corner and pretended to fight with Dou Weir. She wanted to frame Dou Weir pushes her down.
She already chatted with her gynecology doctor, he agreed to play the drama of ‘miscarriage’.
Dou Weir is a carefree person so that time she agreed to chat with s.h.i.+ Ying, but Dou Weir’s friend, Ye Qing Xin, stopped her.
Dou Weir might not know that this lifetime, Ye Qing Xin had helped her greatly.
s.h.i.+ Ying wasn’t able to frame Dou Weir, s.h.i.+ Ying didn’t tell He family about her miscarriage.
She just stuffed thing on her belly and pretended to be still pregnant. It’s great that He Ji Fan didn’t care about her so he didn’t know.
Before the childbirth, He family never cherishes the baby. They just sent a maid to take care of her so it somehow helped her to avoid being discovered.
In labor, she found an excuse to return to her hometown, she seek for a ‘son’, then she just said that she had a childbirth back at her hometown. She chose Zhou Zhou because her mother is underage. The time he was born, his mother just threw him to the rubbish bin. That’s why even his mother wouldn’t know where her kid be, or whether the kid is saved by others. This would prevent the mother comes to find trouble.
Moreover, Zhou Zhou’s appearance was similar with He Ji Fan so He family doesn’t doubt it and doesn’t do any DNA test.
But after a while, Zhou Zhou grows up and doesn’t really look like He Ji Fan. He family also doesn’t doubt it.
Thinking about this makes s.h.i.+ Ying feels worried.
She has spent a lot of things to get into her current position, but what does she get?
He family flaunts the family as prestigious one. They are underestimate a woman with a poor background. But now He Zhi Chou admits Dou Weir as his Ma. It’s quite possible that Old Madame He would be muddle-headed for her great grandson. She might agree to let Dou Weir get into He family, moreover He Ji Fan seems to be persistent.
How could she let this to happen!
Dou Weir looks at s.h.i.+ Ying’s face and drinks her ginger tea, she is calm.
“That day at the sickroom, you might not know who is the woman standing beside Old madame He? She is Ye Yu s.h.i.+, she is the granddaughter of He Nai Nai’s best friend. He Nai Nai likes her so much.”
Dou Weir turns impatient to hear s.h.i.+ Ying talk.
“s.h.i.+ Xia Jie, the thing you like, not everyone would like it too. If you have nothing to talk, you could leave now.”
s.h.i.+ Ying says: “You don’t care?”
“Why should I care?” Dou Weir asks back.
s.h.i.+ Ying chokes. She just wastes her energy to talk?
She calms herself down and laughs coldly: “I heard that your Nai Nai is sick right, she is at the hospital?
Dou Weir’s face changes: “What is your business?”
“I also heard that old lady was a political thought teacher, she should be a conservative one. Tell me, if she knows about how her granddaughter be so greedy and finds an old man, would she be angry?”
“Or perhaps I need to tell her that you are a mistress and breaking up another people’s marriage? Would she be so angry with you that she would disown you?”
s.h.i.+ Ying notices that Dou Weir’s face change and she smiles.
She thought that Dou Weir has no sore/ weak point.
s.h.i.+ Ying laughs: “Leave Ji Fan. If not, I might go and find a chance to chat with your Nai Nai. I would tell her how you are s.n.a.t.c.hing my husband, how you are s.n.a.t.c.hing my son.”
“Huh.” Dou Weir looks at s.h.i.+ Ying and smiles: “s.h.i.+ Ying, you should think of your words carefully. Zhou Zhou is your son, between us there’s a clear hatred. What would happen? If I’m unhappy, what would I do to you rson?”
“There’s a good sentence. Educating a kid in a good way is very hard, but educating a kid in bad way is very easy. Do you believe that I could raise your son to be be a good-for-nothing kid? I’ll let him to have no chance to inherit He family’s corporation. This life time don’t think about using your kid to get He family’s corporation!”
“You ——“ s.h.i.+ Ying glares at her: “Zhou Zhou is a cute kid, he likes you so much, how could you be so ruthless!”
—- — —-
At He family’s residence.
“There’s a good sentence. Educating a kid in a good way is very hard, but educating a kid in bad way is very easy. Do you believe that I could raise your son to be be a good-for-nothing kid? I’ll let him to have no chance to inherit He family’s corporation. This life time don’t think about using your kid to get He family’s corporation!”
“You — —! Zhou Zhou is a cute kid, he likes you so much, how could you be so ruthless!”
s.h.i.+ Ying plays the part of the recording.
She starts to wipe her tears and says sadly: “In the past because of Ji Fan, indeed I was in a bad term with Dou Xiao Jie (Ms Dou). But Zhou Zhou is an innocent kid. Moreover I already have no relations.h.i.+p with her. I never think of using Zhou Zhou to get something. But today I b.u.mped into her for an activity. I just want to say few words with her, I didn’t expect that…. Zhou Zhou is very cute, how could she be so ruthless?”
“He Nai Nai (Grandma He), He Bo Mu (Auntie He), I know that I have no right to say anything, but Zhou Zhou after all is my kid. I couldn’t see he has that kind of selfish woman beside him. I couldn’t see her Dou Xiao Jie ruins my Zhou Zhou I beg you to protect Zhou Zhou.
s.h.i.+ Ying cries: “You guys are his most close relative, you guys should protect him, I, my miserable kid..”
Old Madame He and Chen Meng are so furious that their faces are pale.
Pakkk!
Chen Meng places her tea cup on the table: “This Dou Weir, I already know that she is a bad person. Unexpectedly she is worse than I expected it! No, I would call Ji Fan, I would let him the real face of the woman he likes!”
He Ji Fan is in the meeting but he just comes home after being called by Chen Meng.
The time he enters the room, he isn’t aware that there are several people in the living room. Then suddenly a black thing flies over, He Ji Fan is quick to dodge it.
The ashtray falls to the ground and breaks up.
He Ji Fan looks around and notices Old Madame He and Chen Meng are glaring at him.
He Ji Fan smiles roguishly, He Ji Fan takes off his tie and goes over to sit down: “What happened? What have I done to make two of the elders be so angry?”
Old Madame He knocks her cane to the ground and glares at He Ji Fan.
“Nai Nai, what happened? Why are you so angry again? If you have something to say, just say it. We as educated people should use words not action.”
Old Madame He pants heavily and replays the recording for He Ji Fan.
He Ji Fan listens to it and his smile just disappears.
“This is from s.h.i.+ Ying?”
Old Madame He says: “It’s unimportant to know who is it from. But the important thing is how could you find this kind of Ma for Zhou Zhou. If you are going to marry him, then in the future you would not be my Sun Zi (Grandson)! If you want to be her, then just go be with her”
Chen Meng is surprised: “Ma, what are you talking about?” She called her son to come back just to let her son to see Dou Weir’s real face. This time she thinks it’s a good time for He Ji Fan to be aware. She didn’t expect that this old Madame would say that ruthless words.
She turns her head and talks with He Ji Fan: “Tell me, in the past you had a lot of women around you, I said nothing and let you be. But this time, Mama really wants to talk to you. Zhou Zhou is your biological son, how could you find that toxic woman to be your son’s mother? Couldn’t you act like a real father for him? You should think carefully about this!”
“Ma, you are so furious now. Let me take you back to your room to rest. In a while, Zhou Zhou would wake up from his afternoon nap. A Fan would consider about it carefully. Don’t be angry with A Fan, these are all Dou Weir’s mistake!”
There’s only He Ji Fan left in the living room.
He takes the recorder and listens to it once again. His face turns cold. After a while, he takes his phone and calls Jing Bo Yuan.
“What is it?” Jing Bo Yuan sounds like business is business.
“Could you recover what was erased in a computer?”
“I could.”
“What about if it’s from the phone?”
“Yes.”
“Then ….. what if it’s in a watch recorder?” He JI Fan asks. This recording should be cut. Old Madame He and Chen Meng are loving Zhou Zhou dearly so they just act based on their feeling. They just get angry without a.n.a.lyzing. They just want him to leave Dou Weir.
“I’m at my office, come over.”
He Ji Fan smiles: “I’ll be there soon.”
