Chapter 188
Old Mister Jings words makes the atmosphere suddenly turns cold. Its even more silent than the previously when everyone knows that Jing Bo Yuan will not appear.
Every members of Jing family are confused, except Jing Zong.
Old Mister Jing looks at everyone confused stare and anger, but he just braces himself to finish it: As for the engagement, for the moment itll be cancelled. Qiao Qiao, return me your engagement ring, later on Ye Ye will give you prettier one as a compensation
Old Mister Jing feels that moment is the most embarrassing moment in his life.
What do you mean? At first you guys as Jing family mentioned to us about this engagement. This kind of simple engagement, for our daughters happiness, we just endure it. Jing Bo Yuan, the main actor, doesnt appear and you asked his Mama to give the ring to our daughter, now you want to cancel the engagement, are you regarding us as monkeys? I cannot accept this!
Huang Wei Juan is so furious. She slaps the table. Dont think that your Jing family is so great that you can bully us. Today you need to give us a satisfying explanation, if not Ill not let this go!
This time Gu Xing De doesnt stop Huang Wei Juan, its clear that he is angry too.
Gu Qiaos family members also show their sour face.
The engagement just happened that its just being cancelled. Its not only humiliate Gu Qiao but also the family.
Lao Xian Sheng (Old Mister), your action is wrong. Our Qiao Qiao is a good and reputable woman. Today how can she be treated in this kind of way. Jing family indeed is a rich and powerful, you guys think highly of your reputation but if this news spreads outside, Im afraid itll cause a great sensation.
Yes, if you dont want this engagement to happen, why you plan this? Are you joking?
If you do something like this, what will happen to Qiao Qiao in the future, you should give us a satisfying explanation.
Right, you should. Gu family is not as powerful as Jing family, but we also have our reputation.
Old Mister Jing indeed is wrong this time.
He maintains his calm and let Gu family members talk with each other.
The atmosphere turns serious.
Jing family members are also a bit confused about the current condition. They dont know what should they do or talk.
After a while of silence.
Jing Zong stands up and raises his glass of wine. He says politely: No matter what is the reason. The engagement today is cancelled. For this matter, indeed our Jing family is wrong. We will not avoid to take responsibility. What compensation are you looking for, please tell us directly. As long its not excessive, Jing family will try its best to do it.
He simply means that no matter what the marriage will not happen, he wants Gu family to say their conditions.
Based on Jing familys high position, they can get lots of benefits.
Gu family members are looking at each other, they start to think.
Huang Wei Juans anger face starts to calm down. She starts to think and turns her head to look at Gu XIng De. She says coldly: Our daughters reputation in a single day just suffer a great damage, tell me how will Jing family compensate us?
Gu Qiao lowers her head and doesnt say anything. Her body starts to tremble when she hears her mothers words.
Zhoa You Jia could feel sadness on her aura. He hates himself that he cannot hug her to comfort her.
Qiao Qiao
Jing Zong understands Huang Wei Juans intention. He smiles: The thing has ended this way, what do you think we should solve it?
Huang Wei Juan glances at Gu xing De again, Gu Xing De drinks his wine. Then he speaks up: We are Gu Qiaos father and mother. Today Gu Qiao receive a great humiliation. We as parents, have also experienced something as if it had happened to ourself. Lets think in our position. If its your daughter that is played during her engagement day, what is your feeling?
Gu Xing De is reasonable.
Jing Xong looks at Gu Xing De and looks at Gu Qiao: Qiao Qiao, you always someone that is sensible. You know your place well. You are a good kid, but our A Yuan has no good fortune to deserve you. Dont worry this break off an engagement, I believe everyone here will not spread it out.
Of course. Someone says it.
Jing Zong smiles and continues: Qiao Qiao, I think you understand A Yuans feeling..
Gu Qiao suddenly stands up. Her eyes are full of tear. It falls down drop by drop.
Jing Bo Bo (Uncle Jing), dont talk anymore. I understand, I really understand. Its just my own wishful thinking. Its my karma of my own action. Its unrelated with anyone. he doesnt like me, I also know it. Today lets think that theres no engagement, this never happens. I have nothing to do with him.
She says it and raises her wine glass. She looks around and says her apology: I, as a junior, ask forgiveness for my wrong, Im sorry that I waste your half day.
She finishes her wine. Then she takes off the ring and places it on the table. Then she pushes her chair and just leaves without even wearing her coat. She just runs away with her sleeveless short dress.
Along the way she keeps on bumping into several waiters.
Zhao You Jia follows her and stops her on the roadside. He drapes his coat on her shoulder.
Her face is full of tear, she starts to struggle.
Qiao Qiaok, dont be like this!
Gu Qiao loses one of her shoe when she runs. She then falls down to the ground. The weather in Jing City is so cold now. Her skin starts to turn purple, yet she doesnt feel cold. She just sits there and cries silently.
Zhao You Jia carries her up and takes her to the parking area. He puts her inside his car and opens the heater.
Gu Qiao just sits down there with his empty stare. She is quiet.
Qiao Qiao
Carlton hotel, private room.
After Gu Qiao leaves, the other family members of Jing and Gu family starts to leave successively. Except Jing family internal family and Gu Xing De and his wife.
Before they leave, Jing Zong orders them to not spread this thing out. Everyone agrees and promises him.
Then Jing Zong speaks without reservation: Everyone is sensible person, I think I dont need to talk beat around the bush. The matter is in this step, I think you should think of how to get benefit. I think you are smart.
Huang Wei Juan is sitting there and looks at Gu Xing De.
Though Huang Wei Juan is strong and bossy but in every critical moment she still needs Gu Xing Des idea.
Gu Xing De smokes his cigarette and thinks about something.
Then after a while, he says: I have holiday village project but because a condition, I cannot carry it out.
Huang Wei Juans eyes turn bright when she hears about this. Yes, she forgot about this. If Jing Zong is willing to help, it will easy to implement it.
Its just the capital needed for that project is huge amount of money, Jing Yan can give it out, but if they can get it from Jing family, it should be beneficial for them?
Huang Wei Juan feels that that is a brilliant idea.
Gu Xing De continues: Er Luo bay is not easy to get.
Jing Zong smiles. As long as they mention about a condition, what happens today will be solved.
That land is not within my and Lao Sans jurisdiction. Its a bit hard In negotiation, he always believes that he shouldnt agree at the first time. If not it will make the the other party become more arrogant and he will fall into a trap.
Jing Zong is skilled negotiator.
Gu Xing De laughs coldly: why should you be so modest, with your three brothers name even one of your name, who is dare to not follow your wish to get your favor, its just a matter of one call.
Jing Zong smiles: Brother Gu, you are not in official circles, you dont understand about our difficulty. We cannot be careless because a mistake will make a great loss. I have seen a lot of officials are losing their position because of this. I think brother Gu should hear that for this matters is not only a simple call.
Gu Xing De notices his intention and snorts. He doesnt say anything else.
After a moment, Ji Zong seems to think of something. He says: But I remmebr that I have an older male cousin that works there, perhaps I can help you to ask aroudn. As for whether it will be successful or not, I am not sure.
This simply means that he agrees to help.
Gu Xing Des face turns a bit calmer.
Old Mister Jing sees that his son has successful solved this matter. He is impatient to leave: Since we has agreed one something, then lets leave. I also need to go to hospital.
Wait. Huang Wei Juan says, As for what happened today, shouldnt A Yuan be someone that takes responsibility, shouldnt he appear and explain to us?
She is an clever old foxy so everyone could guess what she wants to do .
If you have any other request, please be frank. Jing Zong is impatient.
He already promises that nothing will be reported or published to the public about this matter. He also already agreed to help Jing Yan get that land. Huang Wei Juan still doesnt want to let it go. It shows her greediness. Jing Zong hates that kind of person.
Huang Wei Juan says honestly: We can let it go, but the holiday village needs at least two hundred million capital.
You want to ask A Yuan to give two hundred million as the capital? Jing Zong couldnt help but to laugh: as for this matter, though its our Jing familys fault. We also has admitted our wrong, but as the proverb says, a hand cannot make a noise. For this matter, you also have responsibility. A Yuans attitude, I think you know it clearly. You know that he is unwilling and he is opposing Old Misters wish. Agreeing to an engagement without any his presence, shouldnt it a chance for you to break off the engagement?
What do you mean? Huang Wei Juan is unhappy, she smites the table and jumps up in anger: so for today, its a humiliation that we look by ourselves?
Jing Zong: you shouldnt be a greedy one in life. You want me to help you to get that land, then you also want my son to give you capital. Then shouldnt we be the one that invest on a holiday village, why should we give it to Gu family?
That land, if you still want it, I will help you to find a way to get it. But if you dont want it, then just let it be. Anyway this thing has happened and the one that suffers the loss is not only Jing family. Later on I need to go to visit my ma, so Ill not keep you guys accompany again.
Jing Yan looks that Jing Zong wants to leave, he immediately holds Ji Yis hand to let her stand up: Just in time we also want to visit my Ma, lets go together. He then looks at Gu Xing De and Huang Wei Juan to bid his goodbye. They follow Jing Zong to leave.
Theres only Old Mister Jing left. He is scolding his two sons inside his heart. Then he clears his throat and says to both Gu Xing De and Huang Wei Juan: That I also want to visit Ke Yin. You guys will go home too right? We.. lets go home too.
Huang Wei Juan is furious. She says coldly: we have no right to leave with you.
Gu Xing De pulls her hand and says to Old Mister Jing: Jing Shu Shu, please dont be angry. She always acts like this. She has no bad intention. You can go first. We have things to handle first then we will leave. Oh right, this ring, you should bring it home.
Gu Xing De takes the ring and passes it to Old Mister Jing. Old Mister Jing knows that its not good to take things that he already gave. But he wants to avoid any problem in the future.
He takes the ring and passes to Qu Zheng. Then he says: This time its my fault. Later on I will go and give Qiao Qiaos a huge present as my apology.
Gu Xing De shakes his head: Jing Shu Shu, no need to blame yourselves. But I jut have a question, why do you change your mind? He remembers Jin Zongs phone rang before. Was something happening?
Old Mister Jing laughs and doesnt really answer it. He says: Your Qiao Qiao deserves better.
Old Mister Jing leaves, he takes the elevator downstair with Qu Zheng. Lao Xian Sheng, I also want to know, what makes you change your mind? You clearly.
Old Mister Jing thinks of what Jing Zong says. Ye Qing Xin that young woman is pregnant with triplet. He couldnt help but to laugh happily. He just replies ambiguously: In the future you will know it.
Qu Zheng notices Old Mister Jings happy face. He is dumbfounded because of it. In his mind, Old Mister Jing has a bad temper and very stubborn man. He rarely laughs. Most of the time its Old Madame Jing that can make him laugh happily. What is happening?
This should be a happy thing.
Thirty minutes ago.
Ye Qing Xin and Jing Bo Yuan arrived at the hospital, they entered Old Madame Jings sickroom. Old Madame Jing was still in the same condition.
Today it was Jing Xian Xians turn to take care of her.
Ye Qing Xin sat down on the sofa and waited until the nurses were done with the massage. Then she came over and sat down beside Old Madame Jing.
Jing Bo Yuan asks Jing Xian Xian and the nurses to go out.
Nai Nai, let me tell you a good news. Ye Qing Xin holds Old Madame Jings hand. You will be Tai Nai Nai (great grandma).
She says it and pulls down the zipper of her jacket and lifts up her clothes. She places Old Madame Jings hand on her belly.
The doctor said that I have three babies inside me. Nai Nai, am I great?
Nai Nai, youve been sleeping for a month. You should wake up now. We all miss you, Bao Bao (baby) also miss you.
Ye Qing Xin talks to her for a long time. She remembers that the doctor told them to bring her the thing that she longs for to stimulate her to wake up.
The room turns quiet. Jing Bo Yuan sits down on the sofa. He is watching her.
Suddenly, she is surprised. She notices a tear falls down from Old Madame Jings corner of eyes.
Bo Yuan! Bo Yuan! Nai Nai
Jing Bo Yuan hears her yelling and stands up. He comes closer and also sees her tear. He immediately presses the bell.
