Chapter 346
The time Gu Xing De comes out of the police station, he keeps on replaying Gu Qiao’s request for him to help her.
Save me! Pa, I beg you to help me! Save me…

He drives the car without direction around Jing City’s roads.
The time the traffic light turns red, he sees there’s a group of cars that used to escort the bride to the groom’s house.
Gu Xing De looks around and thinks of something.
Tomorrow…… it’ll be Jing Yi’s wedding day. That time every influential people will come to that party….
At the end of September, it’s a spring time.


Ye Qing Xin answers a call from Jing Bo Yuan when she is teaching Xiao Guo how to write. Ye Lin also does his homework too and asks Ye Qing Xin about questions that he doesn’t know. Ye Qing Xin is able to answer it. Ye Lin sees that Ye Qing Xin can answer all of the questions. Ye Lin admires her so much and looks at her like he is her little fans.

I send you his current phone number.
Jing Bo Yuan says.
Ye Qing Xin smiles:
Sorry to trouble, Jing Xian Sheng.

Jing Bo Yuan laughs without sound and says:
Tonight I’ll go home earlier.

Ye Qing Xin just says
em.

Both of them chat for a while and the call ends.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the time, now it’s in the afternoon around 04:15 p.m.
She goes outside the balcony and dials the number that Jing Bo Yuan sent to her. It’s answered.
Tai Zheng Ting answers:
Hello?

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say anything at first.


Tai Zheng Ting speaks up again.
Xin Xin.


How can you know it’s me?
She is quite surprised.

I remember your phone number.
Tai Zheng Ting says.
What is it?

Ye Qing Xin just says to the point.
Xiao Guo wants to meet papa.


……
Tai Zheng Ting turns silent.

My Ma said to Xiao Guo before that Papa is a superhero so he isn’t home. He needs to save the world. He really admires Papa. Two months ago, he was deceived and kidnapped. The kidnapper lied to him that he would be taken to Ultraman’s house. Xiao Guo followed him because he wanted to ask Ultraman his Papa’s whereabout. He almost lost his life.


The fact is I’m very disappointing.
Tai Zheng Ting mocks himself.
Just tell him that his Papa is dead.


You are afraid that he will depend on you?
Ye Qing Xin says calmly, she doesn’t mean to mock him.
Or you are afraid that I’ll throw him on you and be come your burden?


Don’t worry. Xiao Guo is my Di Di. Though we are not related by blood. By this lifetime he is my Di Di.
Ye Qing Xin says sincerely.
As long as I am alive, I’ll not just abandon him. Though I’m gone, my kids will take a good care of their Jiu Jiu.


….
It’s a moment of silent and Tai Zheng Ting says:
You aren’t afraid that he will be very disappointed? Just bring him over, I don’t care.




Where are you?


I’ll send you the address.

The call ends. In one minute later, Ye Qing Xin gets a message.
Ye Qing Xin opens up the message then she goes to Ye Qing Guo. She says to him:
Xiao Guo, Jie Jie will take you to meet Papa.

Ye Qing Guo hears it and he just throws his pen happily. He jumps and runs to his bedroom.
After a short while, he comes out again with a big bag of things.
Let’s go Jie Jie. Let’s meet Papa.

Ye Qing Xin looks at that big bag and asks.
What is it?


This is gift for Papa.
Ye Qing Guo is happy.
Papa should be exhausted to fight all the monsters. These chocolate are saved by me. I’ll give it to Papa to eat.

Ye Qing Xin frowns.
Where did you get it?


Nai Nai bought it for me….
Ye Qing Guo covers his mouth. He looks at Ye Qing Xin.


Ooh, Nai Nai said that he shouldn’t tell Jie Jie about this.
Ye Qing Xin has a headache. Elders spoil the kids too much. This is too hard to solve.

Let’s go.
She says nothing and goes to the front door. She changes her shoes and waits for Ye Qing Guo outside.
Ye Qing Guo also changes his shoes and follows Ye Qing Xin. On the way, Ye Qing Xin doesn’t scold Ye Qing Guo about the chocolate.
Ye Qing Guo feels somewhat awkward that he isn’t scolded. He looks at Ye Qing Xin cautiously and asks with a low voice.
Jie Jie, why aren’t you scolding me?


What?

Ye Qing Guo says:
Xiao Guo ate chocolate in secret, I didn’t obey Jie Jie.

Ye Qing Xin feels somewhat angry yet finds it so funny.
You know that you’ll be scolded yet you still eat it.

Ye Qing Guo feels guilty.

Okay, you just get better. We go back to the previous rule that you are not allowed to eat more chocolate. You can only eat two cubes a day. Okay?



Ye Qing Guo looks at her with glistening eyes.
Really? Jie Jie, you are very great!

The car stops in front the place that Tai Zheng Ting said to her before.
Ye Qing Xin recognizes Tai Zheng Ting, who is standing in front of the door. He is wearing an ordinary suit and pair of leather shoes. Though he is wearing a cheap clothes but he looks tidy and clean. His hair is styled in simple yet neat. It looks like he tidies up himself well to be attentive.
Ye Qing Xin takes Ye Qing Guo and goes over. Ye Qing Guo is holding a big bag of chocolate. He looks at Tai Zheng Ting and around the neighborhood.
Jie Jie, where is Papa?



Xiao Guo, this is Papa.
Ye Qing Xin introduces.
Ye Qing Guo looks at Tai Zheng Ting again. He frowns as his imagination of his Papa and Tai Zheng Ting’s appearance is really different. Tai Zheng Ting doesn’t look like superhero.

You are my Papa? Mama said that Papa is superhero, can you fight the monsters?


…..
Ye Qing Xin pulls Ye Qing Guo.
Did Jie Jie tell you that Papa cannot fight monsters?


But Jie Jie said that Papa just like Ultraman?

Ye Qing Xin:
…..


Of course I can fight monsters.
The silence Tai Zheng Ting speaks up and does the fighting posture of superhero. He even says those words that superhero used to say.
The time Ye Qing Guo sees it and listens to it. He says: Papa! You are Papa!

Ye Qing Xin watches Tai Zheng Ting’s comical gesture:
….

Ye Qing Xin takes Tai Zheng Ting and Ye Qing Guo to a Si Chuan restaurant. She asks for a private room and orders several dishes. Ye Qing Guo keeps on pestering Tai Zheng Ting. He keeps on asking him whether he has met Ultraman. Whether he can take him to meet Ultraman.
Tai Zheng Ting can bluff his way out easily.
In just a meal time, Tai Zheng Ting turns to be Ye Qing Guo’s new idol.
Previously Ye Qing Guo asked for Papa, Ye Qing Xin thinks of taking him to meet Ye Jun Dong. It’s just thinking about Jing Si, she just gives the idea up.
At night at seven o’clock. Ye Qing Xin takes Ye Qing Guo home. Ye Qing Guo passes his big bag of chocolate to Tai Zheng ting.
Papa, monsters are scary and bad. You shouldn’t be hit, it’ll be painful.

Before he gets into the car, he says again.
Papa, you are the same like Ultraman. You are great hero. Next time the time you go home, can I meet you again?

Tai Zheng Ting cannot meet Ye Qing Guo frequently so he just follows Zhou Qiao Qiao’s lie.
He watches the black car leaves and stays there for quite some time.
He cannot describe what he is feeling that time. That stupid of him, who he never holds before, somehow gives him an authentic feeling of happiness of being a father.
The year Zhou Qiao Qiao married to Ye Jun Dong, it made him lost his face. He swore that he will let Ye Jun Dong tastes the feeling of betrayal. The time he returned back to T City and encountered Zhou Qiao Qiao. Zhou Qiao Qiao told him about her suffering. He just knew that his time to avenge had came.
He just got information from Zhou Qiao Qiao that Ye Jun Dong frequently came home late at night and he even didn’t come home at all. He purposely made Zhou Qiao Qiao drunk and took her and Ye Jun Dong’s home. He just avenged it on her and Ye Jun Dong’s bed.
Since the beginning, Ye Qing Guo is just the tool for him to avenge Ye Jun Dong. He never expects him.

Pa.
Tai Shi Yun calls him. It cuts Tai Zheng Ting’s thinking.
Ye Qing Xin’s stupid Di Di, why does he call you Papa?

Tai Zheng Ting looks at Tai Shi Yun.
Why are you here?


Ma wants to meet you.
Tai Shi Yun says.
She knows that she is wrong. This period of time she also has a hard life.

Li Shu Fen took Tai Zheng Ting’s last amount of money and ran away. She was deceived by someone and lost it all.
Tai Zheng Ting cannot forget what mother and daughter did to him during his most difficult moment. There’s a long period when Tai Shi Yun didn’t admit him as her father because she was ashamed of him.

Whether she lives well or not, it’s her own problem.
He says it and leaves.
Tai Zheng Ting uses the money, which Ye Qing Xin gave to him last time, to do business. After several experiences of being lied, he has learnt a lot. For his current business, he considers a lot of things. These period of time, it has progressed in a good way.
Li Shu Fen knows that Tai Zheng Ting has paid back in full all of his debt and now he is doing an okay business. She wants to remarry, but Tai Zheng Ting ignores her so Li Shu Fen asks her daughter to come over.

Just think of it for me and Mei Mei.
Tai Shi Yun blocks Tai Zheng Ting’s way.
Shi Shi just be conscious last month. She is in a bad mood, she needs someone to take care of her. Though the nurse is good, but she will not as careful as Mama. Pa, how can we as family turn this way. We should work as one.


I know that I and my ma did a lot of things to you and left you alone in your hardest moment. But no matter what, we are a family right?

Tai Zheng Ting looks at his own daughter. He is expressionless.
go back and tell your ma. If she wants to take care of Shi Shi, she can. I’ll give her the salary as much as the nurse be. But we shouldn’t talk about anything else.


Pa…
Tai Shi Yun watches Tai Zheng Ting leaves. She feels disappointed.
She returns to the rented room of her and Li Shu Fen. Li Shu Fen immediately asks her.
Have you met your Papa? What did he say?

Tai Shi Yun just shakes her head.
In close to a year of torment and hardship, she has changed from an arrogant and proud Xiao Jie to silent woman.

Give him more time. After all, we left him first during his difficult moment. It’s understandable that he cannot forgive us.
Li Shu Fen sighs and sits down at the sofa.

That time I was shocked that we had a lot of debts, I…..


What is the point of talking about it now? Think about how to get back Papa’s heart.
Tai Shi Yu is changing. She doesn’t rage violently easily now. She is much calmer.
Li Shu Fen suddenly stands up.
I will stew bone soup. I’ll send it over to Shi Shi tomorrow. Your Pa doesn’t give up on Shi Shi in most difficult time. He should feel guilty about Shi Shi. As long as Shi Shi speaks up, he will definitely agree to remarry with me.

Tai Shi Shi is conscious now. It’s just she cannot move, only her face can move so everyday she just cries and cries.

Oh right, Ma. Today I looked for Papa and saw Ye Qing Xin’s Di Di and Papa together. Ye Qing Guo called him Papa. They seem to be having a very good relationship.
Li Shu Fen stops moving.
What are you talking about? Ye Qing Guo called your Papa, Papa?


That should be a joke right.
Tai Shi Yun is not sure.
Now Ye Qing Xin is shinning matchlessly. In B university hundred years- anniversary, she also went to hear Jing Bo Yuan’s seminar. Jing Bo Yuan spoke up publicly about his marriage with Ye Qing Xin. He is protective of her that makes a lot of women feels jealous of Ye Qing Xin.
With that kind of status, how can Ye Qing Xin goes to make a joke with Tai Zheng Ting, how can she let her Di Di to call Tai Zheng Ting’s Papa?
Perhaps…. maybe it’s….
Li Shu Fen thinks about it.

Ma, what is it?

Li Shu Fen calms down and says:
Nothing.

She takes out a pack of pig’s bone.
I’ll cook the soup.

She washes up the bone and cuts a yam and boils it all.
The time she waits till it’s cooked. She recalls what happened ten years ago. Once she returned to T City with Tai Zheng Ting. On the way, they bumped into Zhou Qiao Qiao and her not-yet a month old son. Tai Zheng Ting teased the kid and said:
Good, call Papa.

Zhou Qiao Qiao was so angry, at the same time Li Shu Fen was angry too.
Afterwards, Tai Zheng Ting’s friends sometimes joked that Tai Zheng Ting has no son. Several times Li Shu Fen heard Tai Zheng Ting replied furiously.
Who said that I’ve no son. I just don’t raise him, someone raises it for me.

Those small matters are remembered by Li Shu Fen. Now she finally understands it.
