This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The atmosphere turns very familiar.
Dou Weir notices the car enters the courtyard, she is startled.
“What are you taking me here?”
He Ji Fan says nothing, he stops the car. He gets off the car and walks toward the stairs. Dou Weir sits on the back seat, she doesn’t get off the car.
He notices that she doesn’t follow. He Ji Fan turns his body and looks at each other silently.
He Ji Fan is angry, Dou Weir could feel it.
She admits that saying those words toward Shi Ying is too much. It’s unfair toward Zhou Zhou. But he wants to use silent treatment toward her? If he dissatisfied with her, he should just say it directly toward her. But she also has no play to be Zhou Zhou’s stepmother.
Dou Weir’s temper is not very good. Her temper is much more impulsive. These two years, she has learned to be much calmer. Yet then it doesn’t mean that she is a ‘punching bag’.
She gets off the car and walks toward the gate.
The atmosphere is silent, there’s only the sound of her high heels.
But then she hears another footstep, she couldn’t help but to walk even faster. But that man could chase after her easily. He holds her wrist and drags her to the elevator. He drags her inside till they arrive at the apartment, then he used to decorate for her. She says nothing.
The apartment has been empty for a long time. Yet it’s still as clean as it is before. It is not dusty. There should be someone who frequently cleans it up.
When they broke up, she returned it back to him. At first, she sometimes would come home to stay. But after a while, she doesn’t come back again. But to think carefully, it’s been a year.
He Ji Fan lights on his cigarette and looks at Dou Weir seriously. Dou Weir stands still in the center of the living room. Her eyes are looking at every places. She looks cold and expressionless.
She doesn’t think that He Ji Fan is taking her here for remembering the past. Moreover, there’s nothing to miss about them.
“Now we are here. Do you have anything to say to me?” After a while, He Ji Fan speaks up first.
Dou Weir raises her head and looks over: “What do you want me to say?”
He Ji Fan looks at her, he wants to see something on her face. Yet he just notices that she is at loss and confused. She really has nothing to say to him.
She remembers about the recording. In the full recording she seems to say to Shi Ying that “Shi Xiao Jie, not everything that you think is valuable, anyone might think the same. If you have no serious matter to say, please just go home.”
This means she basically doesn’t think He Ji Fan is a valuable one.
He Ji Fan is born in a rich family, he always be proud of himself. Hearing her saying those words to Shi Ying, somehow has attacked him.
This period of time, it’s the reason for him to not look for her.
In the past all women around him always acted like Shi Ying, they would take initiative to send theirselves to him. But only this woman in front of him, he feels that he would die because of anger soon.
He uses to hate those women who keep on looking for him. But now he wishes that Dou Weir could care of him. But turns out she doesn’t even take him into her heart.
He smokes several cigarettes then looks at Dou Weir.
Dou Weir feels awkward to be watched that way. The time he lights his seventh cigarette, finally she speaks up: “What do you want? Do you have something to talk about or not? I just came home from abroad. I’m so tired, I want to have a rest.”
Look, look at how impatient she is toward him. Now she still doesn’t care about him.
He Ji Fan’s face turns darker.
How could she be so indifferent in this familiar place.
Looking at how He Ji Fan doesn’t respond for a long time, she finally loses all her patience. She turns her body to leave. This man should be crazy today. He takes her casually here, and asks her whether she has something to say. She has a lot of words, she wants to say to him. But does he really want to listen to her?
Then there’re footsteps behind her. He Ji Fan is following her.
The car enters the Zhong Hua Yuan, it’s already 11:00 pm. Dou Weir is sleeping on the way, she is really tired.
Tonight she doesn’t say anything, He Ji Fan also doesn’t say anything. Dou Weir just thinks that he is just having a crazy time.
The next day, Dou Weir wakes up in the afternoon. She just orders a simple breakfast. Then she does her makeup and goes to the hospital to visit her Nai Nai.
Old Madame Dou is in stable condition. Every day she takes her medicine and listens to Beijing opera to spend the time.
Old Madame Dou mentions about Xiao he again. She starts to be worried for Dou Weir and Xiao He’s relationship.
Dou Weir finds an excuse but Old Madame Dou’s face just turns cold. “Weir, tell Nai Nai honestly. Do you fight with Xiao He?”
Dou Weir is startled and just answers: “Nai Nai, how could you guess it? I’m, I’m just afraid that you would worry so I don’t tell you. Xiao He….. I break up with him….”
“What?” Old Madame Dou doesn’t think that the matter is so serious: “Why are you guys breaking up?”
Dou Weir’s face shows that she feels guilty: “I’m sorry. I hide this fact from you. Actually his parents don’t approve us to be together. He keeps on having fights with his family. At first we planned to get married after the National Day. We planned to just depend on ourselves for our future. But then he went abroad and something happened between us. We just realize that we don’t suitable for each other. So we just break up…”
“Stupid kid, how could you not tell Nai Nai?” How could Old Madame Dou blame her own granddaughter. She strokes her granddaughter’s hand and says: “Don’t be sad. Our Weir is an excellent woman, you’ll get a better one.”
Hearing these comfort words, Dou Weir feels even guiltier: “We break up peacefully so I’m not really sad. It’s just Nai Nai… I’m sorry……”
Old Madame Dou thinks that she is saying sorry for breaking up. She is even sadder for her granddaughter.
“Nai Nai, eat these fruits first, I need too pay for the nurse.” Dou Weir serves Old Madame Dou a plate of apple slices. Then she leaves.
The time she returns, she stands in front of the door and hears something inside. Old Madame Dou is laughing. Dou Weir is startled and tries to eavesdrop. She hears a male voice, a familiar voice.
She is surprised and opens the door.
He Ji Fan and Old Madame Dou look at her at the same time. He Ji Fan’s gaze changes when he notices Dou Weir but he quickly regains himself. Old Madame Dou notices that Dou Weir is staring blankly. She couldn’t help but to criticize her: “Xiao He’s Shu Shu (Uncle) comes over to look for me. You kid, why are you just staring at us, greet him.”
Dou Weir looks at He Ji Fan confusedly. Xiao He Shu Shu? Who could tell her what is happening here?
“Call He Shu Shu.” Old Madame Dou urges.
Dou Weir just follows unwillingly: “He Shu Shu.”
“Pour him a cup of tea.” Old Madame Dou asks.
Dou Weir passes a cup of tea to He Ji Fan and glares ruthless at him in Old Madame Dou’s blindspot.
He Ji Fan feels good about it, he smiles even brighter.
Dou Weir is so furious and glares at him again.
This womanizer, what is he planning to do?
She notices that He Ji Fan brings a lot of nutriment for Old Madame Dou.
“Our Weir is a very innocent woman, she is so kind. When I heard that she would get marry, I felt very happy, but also worried. I am worried that she would not live well. You should understand my feeling.”
“Of course, Old Madame. For what’s happening between Dou Weir and my niece I could only say that my niece have no good fortune to be with Dou Weir. Today I come here to make a formal apology to you. In the future, I would also take more care for Weir at Jing City to repay what my niece owes her.” He JI Fan lies with open eyes.
Dou Weir listens to his words and worries that he would say something that he shouldn’t.
“Forget it, ‘an awkward arrangement without the consent of the parties concerned’. Just let the past passes. These kids also break up in peaceful way. There’s now debt between them. I’m grateful your intention. Don’t forget to bring these things home, I also couldn’t take it.”
“Old Madame, please take it. Weir is my junior. You’ve been hospitalized for some time yet I never visit you. I’m really sorry.”
Then He Ji Fan starts to shift the conversation, he talks about his experiences and knowledge of Beijing opera. They are talking and chatting interestingly.
This time He Ji Fan looks so different from his usual self. He isn’t acting as careless playboy or a boss with a highly position. He acts like a normal junior who treats his senior with respect. He looks sincere.
When they are talking about Beijing opera, Old Madame Dou feels very excited and happy.
Dou Weir watches both of them, she couldn’t help but feel happy to see it.
It’s been a long time since she saw Nai Nai be so happy.
Old Madame Dou seems to like He Ji Fan. At last, she asks about He Ji Fan’s marital status. She is curious of why He Ji Fan still be a single man. He Ji Fan makes a reason that he is single because he is so busy with his business. Old Madame Dou sighs.
She looks at her granddaughter, who told her that she is single now. She thinks of something. But she finally votes it down, He Ji Fan seems a bit older.
When He Ji Fan wants to leave, Old Madame Dou asks Dou Weir to send him out. Dou Weir has no way so she just follows Old Madame Dou’s request.
The time they exit the room, Dou Weir’s face just changes.
“What are you doing? Who asks you to come?”
He Ji Fan laughs: “Your Nai Nai seems to like me so much. Later on tell I’ll come everyday to meet her, what do you think?”
Dou Weir clenches her fist: “Don’t you listen to my question? Later on you are not allowed to come and harass my Nai Nai.”
“Why do you describe this in such terrible way?” He Ji Fan walks behind Dou Weir. Then he suddenly approaches her and says on her ear: “I decide to chance my tactic. Since it’s hard to tackle you, then I could just try it from your family member. Wait till Nai Nai asks you to marry me, I would see how would you refuse.”
Dou Weir looks at him and rolls her eyes: “You? If Nai Nai knew how fast you are in changing your girlfriend? and your almost- two years old son, do you think she would like you?”
She says it, then she reminds again: “Later on you are not allowed to come over and see my Nai Nai again. If not, don’t blame me to be so rude to you.”
“How rude would you be?” He Ji Fan pulls her to his embrace.
“You are crazy. This is hospital.” Dou Weir starts to struggle.
He Ji Fan doesn’t let her go, instead he is holding her even tighter. “If your Nai Nai knows how close and intimate our relationship, would she be angry?”
“You…….” Dou Weir glares at him. “Let me go! I wouldn’t say any bad word, okay?”
“Then accompany me to have dinner too.” He Ji Fan is insatiable.
Dou Weir’s eyes open even bigger.
“You are not willing? Then I would tell the Old Madame that I’m your boyfriend.”
Dou Weir steps on his feet.
They go to the restaurant in front of the hospital. He Ji Fan is asking for a private room.
“Wei Weir, this afternoon when I came over, your Nai Nai asked me who I am. I said my own name, your Nai Nai immediately asked me whether I’m related to Xiao He. Luckily, I am quick-witted so I don’t expose your lie.”
“Let me thank you then.” Dou Weir rolls her eyes.
“Bu Dou Weir, why should you make that big lie, how could you even lie about his profession as engineer and being abroad. It’s easier for you to just take me to your Nai NIai.”
He Ji Fan has been in business world for so many years, dealing with a lifelong teacher like Dou Weir’s Nai Nai, he could convince her easily.
Dou Weir ignores him and just orders several dishes to the waiter. Then she looks at her phone.
She is reading the entertainment news, she remembers the news of Shi Ying being shelved. Dou Weir looks at He Ji Fan with her mocking gaze. “Shi Ying gave a birth to a son for you, how could you be so ruthless toward her.”
He Ji Fan’s smile turns thin: “She does something wrong, she should undertake the responsibility.”
“What does she do?”
He Ji Fan doesn’t answer. Inside Dou Weir’s heart, she wants to ask further, but she says nothing.
After the dinner, Dou Weir packs a takeaway of plain porridge and several common dishes for bringing back for Old Madame Dou.
The sky is dark, He Ji Fan wants to send her back to the hospital. But when they are in a secluded area, He Ji Fan takes her to a corner and kisses her under a tree.
Dou Weir is dazzled, she feels that this man is too fickle. Last night he was acting like he is criticizing her heavily but today he changes his attitude again.
He Ji Fan’s reckless hand start to get inside her sweater….
“Tonight go to my place.” He says to her.
Dou Weir is gaining her rationality in between. She pulls out his hand out of her sweater and pushes him away: “I want to bring this takeaway to Nai Nai.”
He Ji Fan doesn’t make things difficult for her.
Recently he has solved “tip of a horn- an insignificant problem”, he knows that Dou Weir’s word of not liking him is not true. Why should she care what she said to Shi Ying.
Whether she likes him or not, he could feel it.
Just like before, her bodily response is more honest than her words.
“Why are you just coming back?” Old Madame Dou asks worriedly.
“Oh, I met my friend downstair, we went to have dinner for a while. I bring this takeaway for you. This is light-flavored food, eat it when it’s hot.”
“I have eaten.” Old Madame Dou says, “Xiao Hui bought food for me.”
Xiao Hui is the nurse, who Dou Weir employs to take care of Old Madame.
Dou Weir turns her head and says to Xiao Hui: “Thank you, tonight you could go home and have a rest. Tonight I would accompany Nai Nai.”
“Why are you accompanying me again tonight? Don’t you need to go to work tomorrow?”
“You might forget, that now we are having three days holiday for the New Year. Oh right, tonight there’s an evening party show on TV, let me accompany you to watch it.”
She turns on the television. Though Dou Weir doesn’t feel interested to it, but looking how happy the Old Madame is, she is happy to accompany her.
“Weir, Xiao He’s Shu Shu (Uncle) is quite good. I observe from his style of conversation, he is an educated and a person with a good self-restraint. Unexpectedly he could sing Beijing opera, his voice is great. It’s a pity that he is a bit old. If not, I feel that you are suitable for him.”
Dou Weir is eating banana, hearing Old Madame’s words, she chokes. She doesn’t dare to believe her Nai Nai’s words. “You just met him once, you don’t have a good understanding about him, how could you want to hand me over to him. Don’t you afraid that he is a womanizer one. He is old, maybe he has a son.”
“He is a single man, he hasn’t married, how could he have a son.” Dou Weir rolls her eyes and feels that Old Madame is talking nonsense.
“Unmarried man but has a son. Nowadays, it’s usual for a man to stay unmarried but has a son.”
Old Madame Dou shakes her head: “I see Xiao He’s Shu Shu doesn’t look like that kind of person.”
“One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature ah, Nai Nai. Don’t be deceived by him.” Her stupid Nai Nai, if she is a young woman, she might be deceived several times then?
Old Madame Dou looks at Dou Weir with strange gaze: “What is going on with you? How could you not see something positive on other people?”
She notices that the Old Madame Dou wants to fight with her, Dou Weir immediately surrenders: “Alright, alright, I’m wrong. Xiao He’s Shu Shu is a good person?”
He Ji Fan is really someone that could use his skills to convince someone that he is a great man. He could easily soothe Old Madame Dou.
Dou Jin Wen and Hu Jing are busy, these days they don’t come to visit.
After few days, He Ji Fan goes on a business trip. Before the trip, he comes over to the hospital to say goodbye to Old Madame Dou. After he leaves, Dou Weir could hear every time she comes over, Old Madame Dou’s words: “Ji Fan is not back yet? Call him and ask him when he would comeback? It’ been few days right?”
Dou Weir is confused. Who is her actual grandchild? Previously, Old Madame Dou called He Ji Fan as Xiao He’s Shu Shu, these days she changes, she calls him Ji Fan.
“Nai Nai, these two days, why you keep on repeating it?”
“It’s a pity.” Old Madame Dou still regrets it.
Dou Weir is helpless: “Why are you saying that?”
“If Ji Fan is younger, then it’s great. He is older than you by too much.” Old Madame Dou sounds regretful.
Dou Weir; “…….”
Old Madame Dou: “I would call Ji Fan by myself.”
Dou Weir: “…..” Dou Weir doubts seriously that He Ji Fan might be part of Dou family.
The day He Ji Fan is back from business trip. He immediately comes over to hospital to visit Old Madame Dou and bring the local speciality for the Old Madame Dou.
The time Old Madame Dou sees him, she is smiling happily. Just in time, Dou Weir is there too. She is ordered to pour tea and cut fruits for He Ji Fan.
Dou Weir couldn’t help but to secretly step on He Ji Fan’s foot several times. He Ji Fan doesn’t even frown. He just keeps on chatting with Old Madame Dou. It makes Old Madame Dou smiles and laughs.
The time Dou Weir is gone, Old Madame Dou asks He Ji Fan secretly: “What is your planning for major turning point of lifelong matter?”
He Ji Fan says: “Temporarily I haven’t met someone suitable, I’ll follow the fate.”
Old Madame Dou’s eyes turn bright: “What do you think of our Weir?”
He Ji Fan says: “Weir is great, but my Zhi Zi (nephew) has no good fortune.”
“Though Weir is young, but she is not yet mature for a lot of parts. But I think she is suitable for you, If not you guys…”
“Nai Nai!” Dou Weir gets inside the room with a medical prescription on her hand. “What are you guys talking about? Why do you like so happy?”
Old Madame Dou just laughs and just shifts her gaze diffidently.
She knows that her action is a bit impudent but she is old, she wants to do something for her granddaughter.
She knows that she couldn’t see through a person perfectly but she thinks she could see him very closely.
This man, she feels he is great. These days of interaction with him, she notices that he is a sensible man. Previously she purposely used things she learnt to make it hard for him. She didn’t expect that he could handle it. He has a great knowledge.
He has a great appearance too, the time he stands beside her granddaughter, she feels that they are a match.
Moreover, he is a patient man, he is willing to accompany her to chat. It shows that he is a great personality.
Old Madame Dou knows that her days aren’t that long anymore. The thing is most worried about is Dou Weir. She also doesn’t know anyone, He Ji Fan is her only choice.
He Ji Fan goes outside to answer a business call.
“Nai Nai, what are you doing? You don’t understand him.” Dou Weir hear of Old Madame Dou said to He Ji Fan.
“Weir ah.” Old Madame Dou turns serious: “Nai Nia is worried about you, my Weir. You should find a good man. Nai Nai knows that you might dislike He Ji Fan to be older. But an older man would know how to love you dearly.”
Dou Weir touches her hair, she really wants to stomp her foot. He Ji Fan is a man covers with a wolf.
