Chapter 285
Chapter 285
Everyone is looking at Yu Qing You. They look shocked.
They all notice that she is an addict now. No one cares about her words.
“You guys don’t help me, you guys don’t help me. I hate you guys....” Yu Qing You scratches her neck. It is so itchy for her that scratching it cannot make the itchiness go away. She lays down and rolls on the ground. She attempts to use the friction to bring relief.
She looks so desperate and miserable.
Jing Bo Yuan protects Ye Qing Xin and takes steps back. He tries to cover her gaze.
He is worried that she will be afraid.
Her gaze is blocked, but she could hear Yu Qing You’s scream from time to time.
Ye Qing Xin clutches both sides of his shirt on the waist part, she sticks close her face on his back. Jing Bo Yuan thinks that she is afraid. So without caring of other people’s eyes, he just pulls her to his embrace and buries her face on his chest.
Ye Qing Xin is startled, she knows that he is wrong. She smiles secretly and just let him hug her.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t feel happy or sad because of Yu Qing You’s current condition.
She feels that it is all unrelated to her.
Old Madame Sheng is astonished: “She is......”
“This the break out from drug addiction!” Someone yells.
“She takes drugs?”
“God, it’s so scary!”
Everyone starts to comment.
Old Mister Sheng orders the maid: “What are you guys doing, take Xiao Jie back to her room to rest.”
Once again very quickly the maids take Yu Qing You out from the hall.
“I’m sorry to let you guys this joke. Qing You is unwell these few days. The doctor said it’s nothing. Please don’t worry.”
Old Mister Sheng says it clearly, he is polite but also silently warns them to not say anything out.
“If someone is unhealthy, they also will have bad temper. I observed that Qing You’s condition is not really good. Old Mister, you should look for a doctor to examine her.” Someone says with care.
The event continues. When it’s done, Sheng family sends out their guest out. Old Madame Sheng worries about Ye Qing Xin’s health, she let her to go upstair to rest earlier.
Sheng Wen Qiong is worried about Yu Qing You. She is unfocused when she sends out the guests.
Her daughter, how can she take drugs.
Taking drugs will ruin one’s life.
“I heard that in the past Ye Qing Xin had an especially hard life, but look at her attitude and behavior, she doesn’t look like a daughter from impoverished family. She is well-educated and well-mannered. She can behave well. For real, family education is really important to raise a polite child. When she called me San Biao Gu, I felt my heart is melted. She looks like when she was little.”
“You are right, compare to that daughter from Yu family. Ye Qing Xin is much better. That daughter of Yu family has no manner and attitude. I really don’t know how can Sheng family has that kind of daughter.”
“She should follow her mother’s path. Don’t you know her mother’s attitude. Her mother always disrespects everyone and acts so arrogantly. Did you see that she even made fuss over minor matters for her junior. Her junior is pregnant, how could she clink glasses in a toast with that kind of power, she really a shameless woman.”
Because Shen Wen Qiong is worried about Yu Qing You, she is unfocused so Old Madame Sheng just asks her to leave.
She passes the garden and hears those whispering. She comes over and asks: “Isn’t it shameless to talk about someone behind their back?”
Both of the women are surprised. They are startled for a while but they quickly regain themselves by smiling: “We are not saying anything, don’t misunderstand us....”
“Right, right, we are leaving now. We just want to say goodbye with you. Hehe... Goodbye.”
Sheng Wen Qiong watches both of the women leave. She thinks about those women’s words. She is so furious.
She then walks to the living room.
“Ah— let me go.... you guys just wretch!— I want to go home! I want to find Lou Liang Chen——” Yu Qing You’s voice from upstair can be heard from the living room.
Sheng Wen Qiong goes upstair quickly and sees the maids are blocking Yu Qing You to come out, all of them stands outside the door. One of them has scratches on their face.
“What is this? What are you guys doing here?’
“Fu Ren (Madame), Xiao Jie is...”
“What are you stammering about, say it directly!”
“Xiao Jie has gone mad, she keeps on throwing thing, she keeps on hitting us.....”
Pak!
The maid is slapped by Sheng Wen Qiong.
Sheng Wen Qiong glares at her: “What do you mean Xiao Jie has gone mad? I think you guys are the mad one. You even cannot take care of her.”
That young maid’s cheek turns swollen and red. She lowers her head but she doesn’t dare to cover her cheek. She apologizes: “I’m sorry, Fu Ren. I’m wrong. Please forgive me.”
Sheng Wen Qiong looks at her coldly and snorts. She opens the door.
BANG!
Something hits Sheng Wen Qiong’s bridge of the nose. She is in pain. Her tears just fall down.
“Fu Ren! Are you okay?” The maids surround her.
Sheng Wen Qiong covers her nose and waves her hand. She doesn’t let them move close.
Inside the room, it is in a mess. Everything is smashed and on the floor.
The time Yu Qing You notices the door is opened, she directly dash forward to go oug.
Sheng Wen Qiong stops her by pulling her hand. She looks at her miserable daughter and closes the door. She asks: “How can you take drugs?”
“Ma, you love me the most right? I am in pain, can you give me a bit. Ma, I, I will obey your words in the future. Just let me take a bit. You even can ask me to die, ma!’
“How can you touch those things, you....” Sheng Wen Qiong looks at Yu Qing You. She is angry but also feels heartbroken for her. She even doesn’t care about the pain on her nose. “What can I say to you. Liang Chen is treating you well, how can you not be thankful for it? You are playing insane everyday, you even had affairs, how can you take drugs now?”
“Don’t say those useless things. I beg you. I am in so much pain now. You love me the most, you will not bear it to see me in this state right, give me a bit. If not, I will just die!” Yu Qing You’s face is full of tears.
“Does Liang Chen know about this?” Sheng Wen Qiong thinks of an important question.
Yu Qing You had affairs before and was pregnant for several time. Lou Liang Chen didn’t make fuss about it, but after all, a man should have his limit. If he knows that Yu Qing You is an addict, he might not tolerate her anymore.
“He knows.” Yu Qing You cries: “He is the one that made me this way. Ma, please help me, give me a bit. It’s been two days since the last time he gave me. I will die, I will definitely die!”
Then Yu Qing You bumps her head to the wall. “Pang! Pang! Pang!”
“Qing You, you are still lying at this time. In my eyes, Liang Chen treats you......” Sheng Wen Qiong doesn’t say anything. She looks that Yu Qing You starts to bleed. She is surprised and stops her: “Okay, okay. Stop this. I will think of a way for you. Don’t bump your head again. Ma is heartbroken for you......”
“Thank you Ma! Thank you Ma! I just know it that you are the best.”
Then suddenly the door is opened.
“Wen Qong, in the past you used to spoil Qing You and I didn’t mind it. I also spoiled her. But this time I cannot see you let her be like this. She should go to the drug rehabilitation center.” Old Madame Sheng says.
She, Old Mister Sheng, Yu Wei and Yu Geng Xin come inside the room.
“Our Sheng family always be pure, we never have any relative that is an addict. Qing You should stop taking drugs.”
“I will not go!” Yu Qing You is emotional, she starts to oppose: “You guys just want me to die! You just want to see I suffer.”
“Qing You, this is for your own good. If you keep on being like this, sooner or later you will die because of drugs. You should stop taking drugs. You will be cared for a year and half. After then you can be a normal person again.”
“If you send me there, it’s better that you guys kill me directly!” Yu Qing You runs toward the door.
“Stop her!” Old Madame Sheng orders. The maids stop her.
“I have contacted the drug rehabilitation centers. Later on there will be someone that pick her up.” Old Madame Sheng says with resolute tone. If someone can see it in detailed, they will notice Old Madame Sheng’s eyes are red.
Yu Qing You struggles to break free. “I don’t want. I don’t want to go there! Wai Po, you are so ruthless. Am I not your biological daughter-in-law? Why are you so ruthless to me?”
This time a car stops in front of Sheng family residence.
After a while, Lou Liang Chen goes upstair. He is wearing a black coat and pants. He looks like a handsome gentleman.
He greets all the elders. He looks apologetic and says: “I’m sorry. It’s my fault that I cannot take a good care of Qing You. I give her a chance to take drugs, it’s my fault. I harm her. I should be dead....!”
“Don’t say it that way. It’s our Qing You’s fault. She is insensible. You have taken her well.” Old Madame Sheng says: “I have contacted the drug rehabilitation center. I will send her there. What do you think?’
“Wai Po, you are right. I also think that it is the best way.” He looks at Yu Qing You with his soft eyes: “Qing You, don’t worry. No matter what happen to you. My heart will not change. I will wait for you. I’ll wait until you are recover. We will start again.”
Those words show his deep love toward her, everyone is touched.
Yu Qing You watches how her closest relatives show their satisfaction and gratification toward Lou Liang Chen. She is in despair.
Her closes relatives are smiling when she is in a pit of suffering. They just dismiss her explanation. They think that she is happy.
In the other bedroom in the second floor, Ye Qing Xin is staying in Jing Bo Yuan’s embrace with her eyes closed.
She can hear Yu Qing You’s cry and yell. She even can hear those romantic words from Lou Liang Chen, though it’s not really clear.
The people from the rehabilitation center arrive after short moment.
The time she is taken away, she is saying a lot of things. She is cursing.
The time the car leaves, Old Madame Sheng’s two legs go weak. Her tears start pour down.
She had spoilt Yu Qing You for twenty eight years, even though she is disappointed and angry with her, but she cannot hide her heartbroken feeling when she knows her current condition. Her words of not letting her at Sheng residence are only her words as result of impulse.
Lou Liang Chen supports Old Madame Sheng’s body. He says: “Wai Po, don’t be like this. Qing You will be fine. She will come out well. When she comes out, I will definitely take care of her well on your behalf. I will not let her be in that kind of social circle. I will not let take drugs anymore.
Old Madame Sheng pats Lou Liang Chen’s hand: “Good kid, I’m sorry to trouble you.”
“Wai Po, what are you saying. We are family, as a family, shouldn’t we help each other? Toward Qing You....”
Lou Liang Chen’s eyes turn teary. He wants to say but then hesitates. He just wipes her tears and says: “This lifetime I have fallen on her hand. No matter what will she be in the future, I have no way to let her go. I just hope that next time, she can understand my heart and feeling for her....”
In front of Sheng family, he always shows that he is in love yet Yu Qing You fails to live up to his love.
This also why Yu Qing You’s words aren’t taken seriously by Sheng family members.
Ye Qing Xin goes outside and watches that act of Lou Liang Chen, she suddenly realizes that kind of man is really a sham and terrifying.
This night, Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan stay at Sheng family house.
This morning Jing Bo Yuan didn’t forget to take his notebook. After the dinner, he starts to have video meeting.
Ye Qing Xin just leans on the bed and reads her own book.
She is wearing her flowery-pattern nightgown. Before, she just finished her shower and came out from the bathroom. Jing Bo Yuan looked over at her. For a moment, he could not this gaze from her. She is stunning.
Ye Qing Xin feels a bit thirsty so she puts down her book and gets off the bed. She goes out of the bedroom.
Sheng family has lots of maids in the house. Even at night, a lot of them are on night watch too.
“Da Xiao Jie, do you need any help?” One of maid, who is on night shift on the second floor, asks.
The whole mansion is quiet.
Ye Qing Xin smiles politely and says to the maid: “Give me a glass of water.” Then she thinks of Jing Bo Yuan. She adds: “And also a cup of tea.”
“What kind of tea do you want?”
Ye Qing Xin thinks about it. Jing Bo Yuan seems to not have any favorite tea. She says: “Anything is fine.”
“Please wait.” The maid goes downstair.
The night is cold.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t wear her slippers, she feels that her legs are a bit cold. She wants to return to the bedroom quickly. She notices not far from her, there is Sheng Wen Qiong. Sheng Wen Qiong is standing there quietly on her purple nightgown.
Her eyes are full of hatred. It somehow ruins her look.
Ye Qing Xin faces Sheng Wen Qiong’s unmask hostile face. She just smiles politely and greets her politely: “Gu Gu.”
Sheng Wen Qiong walks toward her leisurely. She stands in front of her. She examines Ye Qing Xin from top to bottom. She is judging her.
Ye Qing Xin remains calm.
Then Sheng Wen Qiong says coldly: “You indeed have the ability to seduce a man. Jing Bo Yuan is also a common man, your good looks can make him be crazy.”
Ye Qing Xin covers her belly unconsciously. She tries to make some distane between her and Sheng Wen Qiong. She smiles: “Gu Gu, why are you belittling Biao Jie (Older female cousin/ Yu Qing You).”
Sheng Wen Qiong frowns, she cannot understand her words.
Ye Qing Xin continues: “Though Biao Jie doesn’t have any good looks and cannot seduce Bo Yuan, but now she is married with Biao JIe Fu (Husband of older female cousin/ Lou Liang Chen). She even can make Biao Jie Fu so loyal to her, she is great too.”
Sheng Wen Qiong laughs coldly: “Ye Qing Xin, do you know that you are so annoying?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles even brighter: “It’s the same for me.”
Sheng Wen Qiong: “There is a proverb that a business is like a battlefield, no one can always win and not lose. Now Bo Yuan seems to keep on raising, but who knows the time he is falling, it’ll be so awful. I am waiting for the day that you will follow him to fall from the top.”
“Thank you for your care Gu Gu. Though one day we might be call, but I will also stay by her side. I don’t know whether the day Gu Gu falls down, will Gu Fu willingly stay by your side.”
“Wait and see.” Sheng Wen Qiong passes her and goes downstair. When she passes her, she purposely bumps into her body. Ye Qing Xin notices Sheng Wen Qiong’s intention quickly. She cleverly moves aside.
Sheng Wen Qiong just looks at her again.
Ye Qing Xin laughs: “Gu Gu, this evening Biao Jie just being sent to the rehabilitation center. Nai Nai is in despair and sorrow, you as Biao Jie Fu’s mother is not looking sad, you even want to harm other. If Biao Jie knows about this, she should be grateful to have a strong mother like you.”
Ye Qing Xin says it and just directly opens her bedroom’s door. She gets in and closes the door.
Sheng Wen Qiong understands Ye Qing Xin’s meaning. Ye Qing Xin is saying that Sheng Wen Qiong is heartless and ruthless, her daughter is just taken away to the drug rehabilitation, yet she doesn’t care about her.
Sheng Wen Qiong watches the closed door and bites her lips.
Of course she feels so distressed about her daughter, but she is not like Old Madame Sheng, she cannot just cry about it.
This Ye Qing Xin dares to ridicule her, Ye Qing Xin is so annoying.
Inside the room.
“Why are you standing here?” Jing Bo Yuan is standing beside the door near the wall.
“Are you done with the meeting?” Ye QIng Xin looks at him and asks: “Why are you watching me?”
Jing Bo Yuan moves closer to her and kisses her lips.
He starts to kiss her neck. She loses her breath and asks: “What is it?’
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything, he just carries her up and takes her to bed. He puts her on the bed.
Ye Qing Xin knows what he wants to do, she pushes his chest. Her face is blushing. “This is not our home, isn’t this a bad idea?”
This is the first time for her to stay at Sheng residence. Though this is also part of her home, but she is unfamiliar here. Somehow she feels like she is a guest here.
Jing Bo Yuan just pecks her lips and laughs: “what are you thinking? I haven’t done with my meeting.”
He pats her head and returns to the table. He looks at the screen and says in English: “Let’s continue.”
Ye Qing Xin: “.......’
