章 18: Tian Yi is Quite Pitiful

In the evening, Butler Lu came to Ye Qing Xin's room again to announce that her fiance was coming to see her again. This time, his parents were with him.

Ye Qing Xin did not reply to the butler quickly. She took her time to ponder Jin Tian Yi's visit and felt that this man was a little too impatient.

Didn't they just discuss the delay of their wedding that afternoon? Why did he come back so soon?

"Eldest Miss," Butler Lu spoke when Ye Qing Xin did not speak for a while. "Are you going to meet them? Should I tell them that you are feeling unwell?"

Ye Qing Xin was indeed too lazy to meet her fiance again. However, she figured that it was better to meet them sooner and figure out what they came for.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the family keep on disturbing her and her family.

"Alright. I will go and meet them. Just give me some time to get ready."

Butler Lu nodded. With that, he left the room to let Ye Qing Xin get ready.

Ye Qing Xin picked up a clean and simple dress before she went to the living area. As she was walking down the stairs, Ye Qing Xin could not help but wonder just what sort of person were Jin Tian Yi's parents.

When she arrived, Ye Qing Xin did not enter the living room very quickly. She stood behind the wall to watch Jin Tian Yi's parents for a while.

Jin Tian Yi inherited his father's look and perhaps the same attitude. Seeing the impatient look on Jin Tian Yi's father's face annoy her a little bit. His father

Ye Qing Xin really could not imagine herself marrying Jin Tian Yi and entering his family.

Pursing her lips, Ye Qing Xin walked into the room and headed straight to her parents. She gave Jin Tian Yi's parents a lookover while the old couple was also scrutinizing her.

Ye Qing Xin put on a polite smile on her face and greeted, "Uncle, Auntie. You are... Jian Tian Yi's parents?"

The look on Jin Tian Yi's face turned a little strange when they heard Ye Qing Xin's words.

Looking at their reaction made her wonder if the Jian couple was unaware of her memory loss. Did Jin Tian Yi not tell them about it?

Ye Qing Xin shifted her gaze to Jin Tian Yi with an inquiring look on her face.

"Xin Xin, we heard that you have come out of the hospital a while ago," Mother Jin spoke. "Are you feeling alright? Do you... not remember us?"

Ye Qing Xin retracted her gaze from Jin Tian Yi. "Auntie, the doctor said that I hit my head during the accident. It might take a while before I can remember anything."

"A few weeks have passed since you came out of the hospital. Xin Xin, do you not remember anything?"

Ye Qing Xin lowered her gaze without saying anything.

Seeing the look on her face made Mother Jin think that Ye Qing Xin was still sad about her memory loss. She walked over and tried to comfort her. "It's alright. Your memory will return sooner or later. Just take your time."

Jin Tian Yi stood up and walked over to Ye Qing Xin's side. "Xin Xin, I have told my parents about our wedding."

"That's right. I heard that you are planning to postpone the wedding," Mother Jin spoke. "Xin Xin, do you really have to postpone it? The wedding is getting nearer and we have made a lot of preparation... I think it's a waste to postpone it."

"But I don't remember your son," Ye Qing Xin pointed out. "It's not possible for me to marry someone I don't know."

"What's the matter about it?" Father Jin spoke. "I think, the two of you should get married on the date. As for your memories, wouldn't spending your time with Tian Yi help you with your memory? The two of you are in love with each other. I think it would help if you spend time together."

Ye Qing Xin narrowed her eyes. She felt that the Jin couple was coming to see her and force this marriage to happen.

But... it was not easy for her to be pushed around.

"That's right." Mother Jin nodded. "Xin Xin, we have spent a lot of money on this wedding."

Ye Qin Xin placed a hand on Mother Jin's hand which was resting on her arm. "I'm sorry, Auntie. I really cannot do it."

Mother Jin exchanged a look with her husband. The two of them really did not believe that Ye Qing Xin was determined to postpone the wedding.

However, they really could not afford to postpone the wedding.

They already told everyone that their son would be marrying Ye Qing Xin. If everyone knew that Ye Qing Xin was not going to marry, that would be embarrassing, wasn't it?

It was not long ago since the Jin family managed to enter the upper class in Y City. Of course, they did not want to lose face. Their friends would laugh!

"Then, how long do you think you're going to need?" Father Jin asked. "Another month?"

Ye Qing Xin pondered over this matter. "I'm not sure." Rather than postponing, she felt that it was better to call it off.

The look on Father Jin's face turned uglier. However, he quickly compose himself once he met Ye Qing Xin's gaze again.

"Xin Xin, don't be like this," Mother Jin tried to coax her. "Don't you think that Tian Yi is quite pitiful? The two of you have been together for years. He has been waiting for you for a long time."

Mother Jin's words made it sound like she was a heartless woman.

Her lover has been waiting for her for years and she was heartless enough to cancel the wedding now that they were closer to the wedding date.

However, she really could not marry Jin Tian Yi. Each time that she looked at him, that heartache would return.

Moreover, marriage is not a simple thing.

Ye Qing Xin thought that it would be better to cancel the wedding rather than marry Jin Tian Yi.

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak. But then, her father beat her to it.

"Old Jin, how about this," Ye Chun spoke after staying silent for a long time. "Let's postpone the wedding to the end of the year. As for the cost of the wedding, you don't have to worry about it. I will bear everything."
