Chapter 177 Tit for Tat
Xing Zhengren has tried his best to lower his voice. However, from the vague blue veins, everyone can see how furious he is.
“You…you…” He Xiuli stares at her husband straightly as if she can’t believe it. She bursts into a fury.
“Xing Zhengren, you bastard. You don’t protect your wife. I made the mistake to stay with you.” Saying this, He Xiuli takes off her super high heel shoes and points at Xia Ning and Gu Ruoruo with the shoes, “You bitches. Do you think that you are awesome because you make some money and cling to an official? I am not afraid of you! I will beat you bitches to death!”
He Xiuli finishes her words. Then, as if she is an insane dog, she rushes with the shoes in her hand to Xia Ning. However, before she takes any actions, her hand is caught by Xing Zhengren, “You crazy woman. Stop!”
All of a sudden, He Xiuli cries and Xing Zhengren scolds. It makes a mess.
Xing Zhengren dares to scold her in front of so many people?
Listening to the whispers around, He Xiuli is reminded of all the bitterness she suffered in the past years. Many of the noble women go away, afraid that if Xing Zhengren can’t successfully stop He Xiuli, they may be the ones to be hurt.
At the time, several bodyguards come in and get hold of He Xiuli. These men act quickly. They don’t show any tenderness as what Xing Zhengren did. They come and get He Xiuli under control at once and take her away.
It is done within less than a minute.
The insane woman is taken away and everyone gives a sigh of relief. At the time, Zhou Yunwen’s phone rings. He answers the phone and speaks some words in a low voice. Then he hangs up.
“Commander Yi, Mrs. Yi, Miss Gu, the Mayor asks you to go back to the rostrum. I will take care of this here.” Zhou Yunwen smiles and says to them.
Xia Ning glances at Xing Zhengren. Unexpectedly, Xing Zhengren notices that and he comes to her immediately and he holds out his hand, trying to grasp Xia Ning’s sleeve.
Not waiting for Xia Ning to react, Zhou Yunwen catches Xing Zhengren’s hand, “Section Chief Xing, is that another plot?”
Zhou Yunwen is obviously warning Xing Zhengren not to make the scene or create troubles.
Xing Zhengren feels embarrassed, “Mrs. Yi, I want to apologize to you for what my wife did today. I hope Mrs. Yi can forgive us and give us a break.”
Xia Ning is just going to speak, while YI Yunrui pats on her shoulder and says in a low voice, “Let’s go.”
“But…”
“Secretary Zhou will take care of it. Let’s go.” Then, Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning and walks towards the rostrum.
Xia Ning wanted to reply to Xing Zhengren that she doesn’t mind. However, when she leaves, Xia Ning hears from far away that Zhou Yunwen is saying, “Section Chief Xing, we all know that you are just and honest. However, it doesn’t mean that your wife is, too. She asked for five hundred thousand yuan for a wetted dress. I am afraid that Section Chief Xing will need to face the suspension and investigation of property according to the regulation….
Hearing this, Xia Ning is shocked, feeling cold in her heart. There are combats in the official circle every day. The seemingly simple pouring water issue has gradually changed into a new round of combats.
They go back to the rostrum. Yi Yunrui sees Yi Yunyi and greets him, “Brother.”
Yi Yunyi nods, but he says nothing.
“God. I had never seen such a vicious woman. She held Sister Xia and wouldn’t let go! She even wants to beat us! Luckily some people came. Or, who knows what a mess she would make.” Gu Ruoruo is still a little afraid.
Gu Luan slightly frowns and turns to Xia Ning, “Are you OK?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “Director Gu, don’t worry. My husband is here. I am fine.”
Gu Luan’s face turns a little dark. He looks at Yi Yunrui. The two men have combat with their eyes in the air. Gu Luan says, “Commander Yi, it is rare to see you attend this kind of commercial reception. Does Commander Yi come here today for any special reasons?”
Yi Yunrui puts on a mildly smile. How can he ignore that Gu Luan is challenging him?
“In this place, I am just a normal person, Xia Ning’s husband, Secretary Yi’s brother and the third son of Yi Family. And…” Yi Yunrui pauses to hold Xia Ning’s hand and gives it a gentle kiss, “I am here to pick up my wife.”
Yi Yunrui doesn’t hide his love for Xia Ning. Seeing his move, Gu Luan’s eyes flash.
“Oh. Commander Yi and Mrs. Yi are really a couple of love. However, I brought Mrs. Yi here. Now, Commander Yi comes to pick her up in person. Are you worried about anything?
It tends to be more obvious that Gu Luan is challenging Yi Yunrui and all those sitting around them can notice that. Yi Yunyi gently smiles and takes a sip of the cocktail.
“I am surely worried about her.” Yi Yunrui responds frankly, “Ning is my wife. If not her, whom should I be worried about? In addition, as a man, if he doesn’t take care of his wife. Does he take care of the wives of other men?”
What Yi Yunrui said is obviously criticism of Gu Luan.
Aware of the combat between Gu Luan and Yi Yunrui, the others can’t help getting nervous and they almost sweat.
Hearing the straight response. Gu Luan pauses his smile. As a man who has been fighting in the society, he is deep enough. He smiles instead of showing his anger.
He raises his glass, “Let’s toast what Commander Yi said. Commander is a real man! A man should take care of his wife, or who? Cheers!”
Gu Luan lifts his head to drink up the wine.
Yi Yunrui puts on a seeming smile and drinks up the wine in a mouthful, too.
The glasses are empty. Yi Yunrui and Gu Luan glance at each other. Gu Luan talks with the person next to him, as if nothing happened.
Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief.
Actually, she is surely aware of Gu Luan’s being unusual to her. So, she didn’t respond just now. She knows that Yi Yunrui will take care of everything. Seeing it return to peace, Mayor Li talks with Yi Yunrui sincerely. The second and third sons of Yi Family are here. It is the right time for him to get familiar with them. If he can get along well with them, it will be convenient for him to make future official achievements.
It is a pity that the eldest son of Yi Family doesn’t come.
Lei Buyang doesn’t show up from the beginning to the end of the reception. It is said that he goes abroad for business negotiation. It is not known whether it is true or not.
Lei Buyang, the president of Lei’s Multinational Group is never a regularly predictable man.
The reception lasts till midnight. For the sake of Yi Yunyi and Mayor Li, Yi Yunrui stays for quite some time in the reception.
It is believable that this reception is also the one for Mayor Li to stay for the longest time.
When they leave, Mayor Li sees them off himself.
It has been several hours passed when they finally get in the car. Thinking that they will get home soon, Xia Ning gives a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the skyscraper standing like a pillar for the sky behind, suddenly, Xia Ning feels a sense of deadly chillness come over her.
Xia Ning can’t help shivering!
Then, a sense of terror spreads quickly all over her body!
Consciously, she takes a cold breath.
Yi Yunrui notices that uneasiness of Xia Ning. He is worried, “What’s wrong? Do you feel cold?”
Xia Ning looks around for the source of the feeling but finds nothing abnormal.
