All of guests seem to be high-class people .
Song Mu and Ji Yi are also busy with all the guests .
The cold funeral hall suddenly turns crowded .
A lot of people notice Ye Qing Xin and immediately stand up . They offer their condolences .
They all act very polite and Ye Qing Xin could notice faintly their intention to get her favor .
Ye Qing Xin presses down her sadness and confusion . She replies them politely . She could see that now it seems the funeral has more visitors than one can attend .
Except the strangers men, the relatives come over to offer their condolences . Even the neighbors .
Ye Qing Xin could notice what is happening . She takes opportunity of the gap between greetings with everyone else to pull Song Mu to a side: “Why are there so many people now?”
Song Mu is so busy, she is excited: “Today this early morning Major Lu and the secretary of municipal government come to offer their condolences; their employees also come . Look at the one with blue shirt… . ” Song Mu points to the a man that is talking with Ji Yi . “This year he is promoted to be county secretary, also that one… . ”
“That one is the big major… . . ”
“That one is director of the police… . . ”
Song Mu points one by one .
“Xin Xin, what is your fiancee’s background? He unexpectedly can gather this full force . ”
Last time the time Jing Bo Yuan came over to propose to Zhou Qiao Qiao’s house, Song Mu already feels that his family is unordinary . Yet she didn’t expect that even the major of the city can be so courteous toward her . Song Mu is admiring him .
Ye Qing Xin is startled for a while . She suddenly remembers her words last night . Jing Bo Yuan should notice that she is sad because of this cold funeral… . .
These people come because of Jing Bo Yuan .
Those relatives and neighbors probably come for the major and county officials .
But regardless of their sincerity, but they acts politely . At least this funeral can be regarded as impressive .
Ye Qing Xin feels touched, she looks at Jing Bo Yuan .
“Where is he?” She asks Song Mu .
Song Mu understands her question and answers: “This morning he goes with the major and his secretary . He said that he had something to do . He asked me to let supervise and urge you to eat… . ” Then Song Mu suddenly pats her head . “Look I’m busy and I become muddle-headed . Let’s go, let me take you to eat . ”
Both of them are going to the kitchen . Then suddenly there’s a group of people come over . They are Ye Jun Dong’s relatives, Song Mu knows them .
Ye Qing Xin knows that Song Mu wants to serve them . She says: “You can go ahead . I can go eat by myself . ”
Song Mu hesitates and says: “Okay, Jiu Jiu is helping at the kitchen . You can find her . ”

Ye Qing Xin enters the kitchen . Song Jiu and several old auntie are plucking vegetables . Looking at Ye Qing Xin, Song Jiu put down the vegetables and washes her hands . She prepares a bowl of porridge and two stuffed dumplings for her .
“Xin Xin, come here to eat . ”
Ye Qing Xin looks around, she asks Song Jiu: “They are……”
Yesterday there’s no cook .
Song Jiu plucks the vegetables again and sits down in front of her . She answers: “It’s your big boss Jing . Last night he invited them . Did you remember the Nan Hai restaurant, the one that you treated me? These cooks are from that restaurant . ”
“You were asleep that you didn’t know anything . It’s miserable for me . I was woke up early morning and did this . My arm is in pain . ”
Ye Qing Xin says: “Sorry to trouble you . ”
Song Jiu smiles: “But I’m not working as hard as your Big Boss . Last night you were asleep . He carried you up back to the room, then he watched over the and sat beside the coffin . In the middle of night I went to the restroom, I looked that he carried Xiao Guo up back to the room . He is so strong . Xiao Guo is an eighteen years old boy . But he did effortless . It seems to be so light . ”
Ye Qing Xin forces herself to finish the food .
“Then it means that he didn’t sleep last night?”
Song Jiu thinks about it: “He shouldn’t sleep last night . This early morning around 4 a . m . I was woke up . I looked that he was sitting on funeral hall . He looked like a sculpture . I thought he was asleep so I wanted to look over for a while . At last I hadn’t approached and he just turned his head to see me . He surprised me that I just turned my head and ran . He was too terrifying . ”
“Didn’t you so easy-going last time, what happened to this time?”
Song Jiu says: “I also don’t know . ”
Now it’s already 10 a . m .
She comes out from the kitchen . The funeral band is changing their tune and keeps on playing . The people inside the funeral hall turns lesser, but it’s quite packed .
Because of the major, several relatives and neighbors take initiative to stay and help . The middle-aged man is distributing tasks . When he is done, Ye Qing Xin passes him a glass of water .
“Shu Shu, drink the water . ”
The middle-aged man is surprised and smiles: “Mrs, you can call me Pan Yang . ”
Ye Qing Xin: “How can I call you that, I should call you Pan Shu Shu . ” She continues to ask: “What is your relation with Bo Yuan?”
Pan Yan answers honestly: “I am one of Bo Wei’s manager . ”
Ye Qing Xin nods: “I heard from Song Mu that this morning major and secretary came over, how did they know about my mother? How could they come?”
Pan Yang is somewhat hesitant .
Ye Qing Xin just says frankly: “Did he ask you to leak this information?”
Pan Yan nods . She asks again: “My family is poor and we are commoner . We are too far related with the majors . How could they come to offer condolences?”
This action should stir great sensation in T city .

Ye Qing Xin remembers Ye Qing Guo’s accident last time . Major Lu and several other higher officials appear so sudden .
Pan Yang doesn’t know whether he should say the truth or not .
Ye Qing Xin knows that he is hesitating, she says: “Just say it . I’ll not tell him . I’ll just pretend that I don’t know . ”
Pan Yang thinks about it and says: “Last time your family was in hard condition, Chief Jing used your name to donate a huge sum of money to municipal government . This money is used to construct a new building . This time Chief Jing said that the road is not really good, it should be fixed . I told this to Major Lu and exposed how cold and deserted the funeral is… . ”
Ye Qing Xin understands it now .
Ye Qing Xin gets inside the funeral hall because it’s too hot outside . She thinks that her mother should never expected that she will have this grand funeral .
Ye Qing Xin wants to smile but her tears can help but to fall down . Her smile turn sad .
At 04 . 00 pm . Jing Bo Yuan returns .
He still wears the same grey shirt as yesterday . He already wears it for two days .
He comes inside the funeral hall . Indeed he can see the woman is sitting down and staring blankly .
Jing Bo Yuan comes over and sits down beside her . He clutches her cold hand . “Xin Xin . ”
Ye Qing Xin looks at him and smiles at her . She hugs his arm: “You are back . ”
Then she says: “Thank you . ”
Jing Bo Yuan just looks at her and hugs her .
It’s summer night . There’s a lot of mosquitos around . Everyone starts to eat around five o’clock . Everyone who is offering their condolences has left .
One of the funeral band member that made hurting remark, stands up and apologizes to Ye Qing Xin: “Last night I said the wrong thing . Mrs please forgive me . Let me punish myself by finish this one cup . ”
He drinks it all .
“If you don’t mention it I already forgot about it . It’s nothing . ”
That man just feels relieved: “Thank you Mrs Jing . ”
When they are done . Ji Yi returns back to the hotel . Ye Qing Xin sends her out and thanks her sincerely: “San Shen, these two days, I am really thankful for your help . ”
Ji Yi smiles: “We are family no need to be too polite . It’s Fen Fen that is too insensible . She said to come to help but at last she is gone . Please forgive her . ”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Of course, I’m really thankful with your help . ”
Ji Yi says: “go back inside . There’s a lot of mosquitos here . ”
Ye Qing Xin insists to watch her leave and she returns .
The time she comes back, she watches Jing Bo Yuan is smoking at one corner . There’s a five years old girl in front of him . She is talking with him . Her voice is loud but Ye Qing Xin cannot hear it clearly . Jing Bo Yuan just throws his cigarette away and strokes that girl’s head . It looks like a picture of father and daughter .

Ye Qing Xin watches them . She couldn’t help but to stroke her belly .
If their kid is a girl, perhaps when she grows up, it will be like this .
“Xin Xin, why are you not coming inside? The mosquitos don’t bite you?” Song Mu comes out from the kitchen and notices Ye Qing Xin is standing outside the door .
Ye Qing Xin wants to get in the kitchen to help . Song Mu says: “No need no need . You are pregnant, you should have a good rest . ”
“Thank you Song Yi . If it’s not for your and Shu Shu’s help to arrange this, I’ll be confused for what to do . ”
Song Mu laughs: “Qiao Qiao and I are best friend . I should help her . But even if I don’t help but you also have him right . I could see that he is more capable than us . Also the woman with Ji family name . She is also a capable one . ”
Ye Qing Xin smiles but doesn’t say anything else .
Tonight it’s still Jing Bo Yuan and Ye Qing Guo that stay up till late night to watch . Ye Qing Xin also wants to stay up but Jing Bo Yuan asks her to go to sleep inside the room .
Ye Qing Xin lays down on the bed but she couldn’t fall asleep .
She looks at her phone . It’s 11:00 p . m .
She remembers that Song Jiu said that Jing Bo Yuan didn’t sleep last night . She feels sorry for him .
She gets off her bed and comes out . Just in time she sees Jing Bo Yuan comes out from Ye Qing Guo’s room .
Looking at Ye Qing Xin, Jing Bo Yuan frowns and comes over: “Why are you coming out?”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t answer and asks: “Xiao Guo falls alseep?”
Jing Bo Yuan nods: “Yes . ”
Ye Qing Xin looks at his tired face . “Let me watch over, you can go sleep for a while . ”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything and just hugs her . He carries her back inside the room . He doesn’t care whether she is willing or not . He carries her to the bed and covers her up .
Then he strokes her belly . “Sleep . Even you don’t want to sleep, our daughter should want to sleep . ”
Ye Qing Xin asks: “You like a girl?”
Jing Bo Yuan says: “As long as you are the one that give birth to it, I’ll like it . ”
Ye Qing Xin smiles .
“My ma doesn’t know about my pregnancy . If I told her earlier, tell me will she be happy? Then she will be in a good mood, and will not pass away so quickly?”
Jing Bo Yuan touches her face: “I think she will wish that you and Xiao Guo can live well and happily . If you are sad, maybe she will be angry . ”
“Sleep, so your mother can be at ease . Also for our daughter . ”
Ye Qing Xin falls asleep .
The next day, she wakes up earlier than usual .
Like yesterday, a lot of people comes over to offer their condolences .
During the afternoon, unexpectedly, Tai Zheng Ting comes over with his family .
A lot of people know about Tai Zheng Ting and Zhou Qiao Qiao’s relationships . Except their broken engagement, a lot of them also know that Tai Zheng Ting helped this family . Tai Zheng Ting and Li Shu Fen burn joss stick for Zhou Qiao Qiao .
Then Li Shu Fen holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and acts like a real aunt . She cries and comforts her .
Ye Qing Xin knows clearly that she is acting .
For her mother, Ye Qing Xin doesn’t want to make a trouble so she just accepts it .
Then she looks around and sees Tai Shi Yun and Tai Shi Shi .
She reminds them: “Biao Jie (Older female cousin), it’s your turn . ”
Tai Shi Yun is unhappy, Tai Shi Shi seems lost in thought and watches the coffin . She looks weird .
Li Shu Fen pushes both of them forward: “What did I teach you, go and burn joss stick for your Gu Gu . ”
Both of them burn the joss stick .
Ye Qing Xin then places two rush cushion in front of each of them . “Biao Jie, when you kowtow, don’t forget to use this on your knee so it will not be hurt . ”
Tai Shi Yun is startled, she doesn’t plan to do it .
But a lot of people are watching . Tai Zheng Ting also told them beforehand that they need to follow the tradition to do loud kowtow three times .
She just thinks she just do it for repay for her words and rude remark to Zhou Qiao Qiao .
Tai Shi Shi also follows her .
When Ye Qing Xin is watching them, she turns around and looks that Tai Zheng Ting has seized the opportunity to talk with Jing Bo Yuan .
But the time their talk is done, Tai Zheng Ting comes over with furious temper .
Ye Qing Xin comes closer to him and asks: “What did you say to to him?”
Jing Bo Yuan says to her . “I just told him that your mother’s death is related to her daughter . ”
Suddenly there’s a loud noise from outside . Then there’s a scream from a woman . There’s something happened outside .
Someone runs inside and says something to Song Fu . Song Fu’s face changes . He runs out to see it .
Ye Qing Xin wants to take a look, but Jing Bo Yuan stops her: “There’re a lot of people, don’t go . ”
After a while, Pan Yang comes inside and runs to both of them . He is running out of breath: “The family of four that just came . The man suddenly was so angry that he slapped one of the young woman . The young woman fell down and her head hit a pointy rock . She fainted and bled a lot of blood . She is sent to the hospital . I don’t know whether she could live . ”
He shakes his head: “I saw the pointy rock sticked in to the head . I’m afraid that she will be dead . ”
