Prestigious Family Marriage: Uncle vs Young Wife

Chapter 443

The annoying Xiao Shen is gone, He Ji Fan’s mood is getting better. He asks for a wine to drink.

After the settling the bill for the dinner, He Ji Fan is incumbent.

Ye Qing Xin has a car, He Ji Fan also brings his car too. Three of them go out of the restaurant. Dou Weir rushes and says: “Xin Xin send me back home. It’s been a long time since we chatted. I want to say something to you.”

“You could say it later. I have matters to do near Zhong Hua Yuan. It’s convenient for me to send you over.” He Ji Fan says, he looks at Ye Qing Xin. He gives a signal for her.

Ye Qing Xin knows that He Ji Fan has done a lot for Old Madame. There’s a day that Old Madame Dou had a sudden outbreak. Dou Weir was abroad that time. Dou Jin Wen and family were traveling. It’s He Ji Fan who spent his money, heart, and energy. Day and night he took care of her. For this matter Old Madame Dou didn’t let anyone tell Dou Weir to disturb her work.

In the past, He Ji Fan had a lot of ugly pasts with his girlfriends. Ye Qing Xin didn’t approve them to be together. But now it’s clear that he is sincere and serious toward Dou Weir. Moreover, Dou Weir seems to have feeling toward him. She just doesn’t want to admit as she is afraid to be hurt again.

So Ye Qing Xin doesn’t mind to help.

“With my current condition, how could she have heart to let me sent you home?” Ye Qing Xin holds her baby bump. She says: “This period of time Biao Ge (He Ji Fan) has taken care of Old Madame Dou, shouldn’t you thank him for it?”

Ye Qing Xin says those words near Ye Qing Xin’s ear side. Dou Weir looks at He Ji Fan. She straightens her lips and says: “Xin Xin, since when you have been friend with him?”

Ye Qin Xin holds Dou Weir’s hand and says: “Sometimes forgetting the past will make you able to go forward.”

Dou Weir understands what Ye Qing Xin says, but she is afraid. She is afraid to let it go and get something that she doesn’t want too.

“It’s been two months since we met each other, do you miss me?” He Ji Fan drives his car while holds Dou Weir’s hand.

Dou Weir doesn’t struggle, she just lets her to hold it. She acts like she doesn’t hear his words.

She doesn’t answer, yet He Ji Fan doesn’t mind it. He just ignores her annoyed expression. He lifts up her hand and kisses it.

Dou Weir: “....”

When they arrive at Zhong Hua Yuan, Dou Weir retrieves her hand. She looks at He Ji Fan and says seriously: “These period of time, thank you for going to the hospital and accompanying my Nai Nai. I will remember your kindness. In the future if you have something, you could tell me.”

She pauses and continues: “Thank you for sending me off. Bye.”

“Weir.” He Ji Fan listens to her polite remark and says: “I did all of these, not only for your thankfulness, I also don’t expect for you to help me in the future You know my intention clearly, why should you pretend not to know.”

Dou Weir is silent.

“Weir, I already give you long time to see. Now I should get answer from you.”

“He Ji Fan, do you know why did I break up with you?”

“Why?” He Ji Fan is confused too.

“Because I fell in love with you, He Ji Fan.” Dou Weir looks away. “Sometimes after we m*d* love, I hugged you. I kept on imagining the time we would marry. I will wear a beautiful wedding dress. I walk in the middle toward you. I am so happy.”

“Perhaps we don’t have kids, we would spend time together. Perhaps we will have kids, we could bring them stroll around the garden, zoo.....”

“He would be handsome, smart and obedient...”

“But all of these just vanished, the time I heard you call a friend. You said to your friend. You never think about marry, you just want to play around. How irony is it. At first, it’s you who threw yourself into this relationship but at last, it’s only me. All along you just maintain your personal integrity.”

He Ji Fan looks at Dou Weir, he couldn’t see her expression clearly but he could notice her disappointment.

“If you said those words two years ago, I would be so happy that I couldn’t sleep. But these two years, a lot of things have changed, including my desire.”

“Weir......”

He Ji Fan wants to say something but Dou Weir cuts him off: “I’m very grateful for your care for my Nai Nai. But it wouldn’t be my reason to start a new relationship with you. You said that you like me, you want to be together iwth me. You even want to marry me. But I don’t want it. It’s not because I get in a huff, but I’m really unwilling.”

“Two years ago I just wanted to be with you forever, but now I want more and for what I want you, you couldn’t give it to me.”

He Ji Fan smokes his cigarette. He still could smell her remaining scent inside his car.

Dou Weir is standing in front of her window and looks at the car. She watches the car leaves. Then she just releases her breath.

She gives a call to Old Madame Dou and informs her that she is back. Then she takes a shower. She doesn’t dry her hair and just covers it with her towel. She falls asleep.

But this sleep is too tiresome, she keeps on having a dream. She dreams about the time she was drunk and did it with He Ji Fan. She dreams about how she was betrayed by her friend and almost raped by a stranger. She dreams about how she took He Ji Fan’s card and shopped. She dreams about her time with He Ji Fan.

At last she dreams about how He Ji Fan kneels on one of his knee, he lifts up a jewelry box with five carat ring. He is proposing to her. Her tears fall down, she doesn’t know what to do. People around her ask her to take it. She hesitates and extends her hands. He puts on the ring on her ring finger. Then she wakes up. There’s a bell. It keeps on ringing.

Dou Weir sits down for a while and then gets off the bed to open the door.

“Why are you just opening the door? What are you doing at home? My leg is numb standing here.” Hu Jing holds up shopping bags and wants to get inside. But Dou Weir doesn’t move. Hu Jing keeps on mumbling. “You are too much, why are you changing your key? I want to clean up for you but I cannot. I and your Ge are so kind to you. It’s okay if you aren’t grateful t us, but how could you act like we are thieves.”

“Your Ge knows that you are home, he is afraid that you would be hungry so he asked me to go buy some food and cook for you. How could you have so kind and loving cousin? He wants to help you a lot.”

Dou Weir sleeps till night, it’s already 07:00 p.m.

Before she went abroad, she changed her house key. If not, she couldn’t imagine how her house would look like being left for two months.

Dou Weir says nothing. She just watches Hu Jing.

Hu Jing is unhappy: “What are you doing? I come over to be your maid and I still need to beg you?”

“No one asks you to be a maid.” Dou Weir doesn’t act politely. “I also don’t plan to eat at home. I would go to the hospital to visit Nai Nai. I think for these food...” She examines. “It’s better for you to take it home and eat it.”

“How could you a thankless wretch? I’m your Sao Zi, I come over to visit you. I don’t mind that you don’t serve me tea, but you don’t even let me in?”

“I don’t have many clothes or jewelries for you to take.”

Hu Jing’s face changes: “Dou Weir, what do you mean?”

“I mean it.” Dou Weir is too lazy to talk to her, she wants to close the door.

Hu Jing places her foot near the door. “Today you should explain to me clearly. What do you mean that you don’t have too many clothes or jewelries for me to take? When did I take your things? Since I came to Jing City, I kept on taking care of you, cleaning up? How could you treat me like this. You are a supermodel, but how could your fans don’t know what kind of person you are? They should feel disgusted the time they know about your attitude.”

“Whether you take it or not, you know it clearly. Dou Jin Wen indeed is the only Sun Zi (Grandson) of Nai Nai. In the past I could let it go, but starting now, I would not let you come over and touch my things. If not, don’t blame me too be ruthless.”

“Dou Weir! What evidence do you have that I took your things? You are smearing my image. I could sue you.” Hu Jing puts down her things and she is too furious.

Dou Weir’s patience is going down, she pushes her. “If you want to sue me, then do it. Let’s see who they would catch.”

Hu Jing doesn’t think that Dou Weir will push her, she retreats two steps and she falls to the floor. The time she wants to respond, the door is closed.

Dou Weir also kicks the shopping bags outside the door.

The householder next door just comes home. Looking at Hu Jing’s miserable state, he examines her. Hu Jing glares back. “What are you looking at?”

Hu Jing is so furious, she kicks the door. She swears.

The time her phone rings, she has kicked the door several time.

“What are you doing?”

“Have you met Dou Weir?”

“Huh, we met. But she insists that I couldn’t get in. She threw all my things without saying anything. She even pushed me. Dou Jin Wen, in the future don’t let me come over to be the guest to visit her. I don’t want to meet her again!” Hu Jing understands now that the wealthier Dou Weir is, it would be so hard to deal with her. She just took several of her clothes and jewelries, but she fusses over that minor matters.

From what she read from the internet, this year Dou Weir walked in so many fashion show. She earned at least seven digit, how could she lack of clothes and jewelries? How could she believe it?

Dou Jin Wen said to her on the phone to try think of a way to reconcile with Dou Weir. Hu Jing is so impatient. “If you want to let her help you to get support of He company, you should discuss it yourself with her. If you have skill, then you can convince her. I wouldn’t do this anymore!”

She then just hangs up. Hu Jing glares at the door. Dou Weir lets her unhappy, she wouldn’t let her live a happy life!

Dou Weir returns her bedroom to change her clothes. She does a simple make up, and drives her car to the hospital.

Hu Jing is there first. The time she is inside, Hu Jing is wiping her tears: “Nai Nai.......”

Old Madame Dou is chatting with her nurse. Looking at how her Sun Xi Fu (granddaughter-in-law), she is startled and frowns: “Why are you crying?”

Hu Jing comes over and hugs Old Madame Dou. She thinks she should looks so well, that her acting could make this old madame pities her.

“Nai Nai, am I really that annoying?”

Old Madame Dou knows about Hu Jing’s flaws. Though she has so many flaws, she couldn’t say it.

“Why is it? You have problem in your work?”

Hu Jing shakes her head. “No..... yes, maybe. If I tell you, Nai Nai, would be unhappy. It’s better for me to not say it.”

Looking at her, most people would asks further, but Old Madame Dou just lets it be. She says: “Since you don’t want to say it, then don’t need to say it. In life, there would be a lot of problems and setbacks, you are a mother. You need to learn to be strong.”

Hu Jing: “........” This Old Madame Dou doesn’t follow the standard routine.

“Nai Nai.....” Hu Jing lowers her head, her eyes shows her upset feeling. But she says nothing. She couldn’t berate Dou Weir. She starts crying again.

Old Madame Dou takes tissue and says: “Don’t cry anymore. What is it, maybe I could help you.”

Hu Jing is happy, yet her tears fall down quickly. “Ac, Actually, it’s not too major. But before I came here, Jin Wen told me to buy food and bring it for Dou Weir. These days she had worked so hard. She might not eating well. After you came to Jing City, your hospital bills are paid by Dou Weir. We don’t have ability to earn huge sum of money so we want to compensate in aspects that we can.”

“But.... Weir, she... she didn’t only let me in. She even said that she lost several bracelets and I was the one that takes it. Nai Nai.. I, I.... I didn’t...”

“I admit that I always think that between family members, we don’t need to regard each other as an outsider. In the past, I saw how beautiful her jewelries are, so I secretly tried it. But I swear, I put it back. I didn’t steal it. I know what is right and what is wrong.....”

Old Madame Dou looks at Hu Jing calmly. No one knows her feeling.

Hu Jing feels quite diffident to be watched like that.

“Nai Nai.... help me to explain it to Dou Weir, I didn’t take her things, I really....”

“Okay I get it. The time Dou Weir is back, I would talk to her. But there’s a thing that you need to remember. Money matters should be settled even among brothers. Weir is Weir, you are you. Though we are family but you shouldn’t think yourself as an insider. Though Weir’s things are good, but those things are Weir’s. You need to be careful to not act clumsily. It’s easy for other people to accuse you falsely. Right?”

She knows what kind of person her granddaughter is, she wouldn’t let anyone take her things easily. She could guess what Hu Jing thinks, Hu Jing wants to retaliate Dou Weir using her.

Luckily, she is not muddle-headed.

“Nai Nai.....” Old Madame Dou makes her unhappy. She wants Old Madame Dou to be furious with Dou Weir.

Old Madame Dou cuts her off: “You should be tired working all day. Go home and have a rest. I also want to sleep. Don’t worry, I would explain clearly to Dou Weir about the bracelet.”

Hu Jing lowers her head. “Okay, I’ll go home first.” She sounds unhappy and she looks unhappy.

Dou Weir just exits the elevator and notices Hu Jing. Hu Jing notices her. Of course they don’t greet each other.

The time Hu Jing exits the hospital, she notices something. He Ji Fan is holding Zhou Zhou, both of them are getting inside the hospital. He Ji Fan is wearing a coat. He looks so handsome and for a moment, makes her unable to look away.

She thought that Dou Jin Wen is very handsome. If not, how could she be willing to marry into the family. But the time she met He Ji Fan, she know sthat she is wrong.

“He Xian Sheng (Mr He).” Hu Jing comes toward them.

Actually she just wants to greet her, but her face shows her bashfulness.

He Ji Fan frowns and looks at her for a while, then he just passes her.

Hu Jing’s expression stiffens, she looks at He Ji Fan. She is jealous of DoU Weir.

Dou Weir notices He Ji Fan is holding Zhou Zhou and coming inside the sickroom. She is so shocked. Before she does anything, Zhou Zhou looks at her and calls her: “Mama!”

Old Madame Dou’s expression changes. She looks confused and alarmed.

Dou Weir explains quickly: “He is... He....” She doesn’t know how to explain this.

Old Madame Dou just chats with her about how great is He Ji Fan, now she sees a son. She is so surprised.

“This is Zhou Zhou, he is my adopted son. He likes Weir so much, so he calls Dou Weir as Mama.” He Ji Fan explains.

“Your adopted son?” Old Madame Dou asks.

“Em, Zhou Zhou is my best friend’s son, my best friend and his wife died in a car accident, they have no relatives to take are of Zhou Zhou. So before his death, he asked me to take care of Zhou Zhou so I adopted him. He knows that Dou Weir is home so he made fuss to find Mama. I bring him over to look at Dou Weir. Will it disturb you?”

“No NO.” Old Madame Dou looks at Zhou Zhou and says to Dou Weir: “This kid is too miserable. Since he likes you, you should treat her well. Later on when you marry Ji Fan, he would be your adopted son too.”

Dou Weir’s face changes: “Nai Nai, who wants to marry him!” She thought her words toward He Ji Fan would make him stop coming. Who knows.... he has completely convinced Nai Nai.

Old Madame Dou smiles.

Zhou Zhou looks so impressive and he looks like a good kid. He calls Nai Nai and it makes Old Madame Dou be so happy. Before they go home, Old Madame Dou says to He Ji Fan and Zhou Zhou to come over often.

Dou Weir sends He Ji Fan and Zhou Zhou off. Her face is cold.

“Mama....” Zhou Zhou lays his head on He Ji Fan’s shoulder. He is a bit timid. He wants to Mama to hold him, but he is scared to see his Mama’s face.

Dou Weir’s heart softens when she looks Zhou Zhou, but she looks at He Ji Fan and her face turns even uglier.

“I think I have made it clear for you. What do you mean now? Adopted son? Why don’t you tell my Nai Nai directly that he is your illegitimate son? So my Nai Nai could know what kind of man you are.”

He Ji Fan drinks a bit tonight so he doesn’t drive tonight. He passes Zhou Zhou to his assistant and drags Dou Weir to the desolated parking area.

“I have made it clear too, I want to marry you. No matter what you said, it wouldn’t change my decision. Wei Weir, I would try my best to make you accept and believe me again.”

Dou Weir lays down her folding bed and closes her eyes, she replays what He Ji Fan says to her.

She gets off the bed and looks at the scenery outside.

She feels twisted and at loss.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Dou Weir turns her body: “Nai Nai, you are not asleep?”

“You have worries?”

Dou Weir shakes her head. “No, this afternoon I was overslept, now I’m not sleepy.”
