Chapter 230 Who Did That?
“Don’t ask questions. Read the newspaper TIME, the entertainment news. I am busy here. I may hang up.”
Then, Li Baoer hangs up the phone.
Xia Ning slightly frowns. She turns to Fang Zheng, “There is nothing else. You may reply to me tomorrow about your decision.”
“OK. Director, I may go now.”
Seeing door of the office closed, Xia Ning hurriedly opens the drawer and takes out the newspaper of the day.
Every morning, Gu Ruoruo will put all kinds of newspapers and periodicals on her desk. But she is a little busy today and has not got the time to read them.
TIME is the newspaper office she used to work for. Li Baoer specially told her to read it.
Entertainment page…
Xia Ning unfolds the newspaper and sees the close-up photo of Yin Jingsi’s crying at once.
Xia Ning feels her heart sink. There must be something troublesome!
The title below says: The Goddess for Indoorsmen, Yin Jingsi Encounters Marriage Crisis!
The subtitle is: A Woman Surnamed Xia Is Considered to Be the Other Woman.
The news is like a bell, which bangs inside Xia Ning’s brain. Where can that information come from?
The news of today was printed yesterday. It means Yin Jingsi created the trouble after she went back immediately from Xia Ning’s office, where she was slapped several days ago.
The so called Third Person is emphasized with a lot of description in the newspaper. This time, Xia Ning can calmly enjoy the reading.
Ah, she is said to be so awesome.
She makes the goddess of Asian indoorsmen tear bitterly.
Anyway, is Yin Jingsi a goddess of Asian indoorsmen?
It is not surprising that Gu Ruoruo admires her so much. She does get her talent.
Wait. It is the TIME newspaper of B City!
Doesn’t that mean…
Xia Ning is thinking about it, when her phone rings. It is her mother-in-law, Zheng Yao!
Xia Ning murmurs “Shit” in her heart! She knows that her mother-in-law will call her.
She hesitates for a while about what to say to her mother-in-law. She takes a few deep breaths before pressing the answer button.
“Morning, Mom…”
“Xia Ning, what’s wrong with you? Did you ever notice what Yin Jingsi says in today’s newspaper!”
Xia Ning twitches her lips, “Yes, I did. Mom, that is not true…”
“No true? If so, how can it be in the newspaper? Xia Ning, what did you do? Why do the Yin’s sisters always go against you? Ah. It is so humiliating. You are making me dying of anger!”
Xia Ning feels her heart cold. She closes her mouth tightly and doesn’t respond.
“What? You don’t respond? Are you acting up? It is in the newspaper! It obviously means you. Xia Ning, what on earth do you want? What the hell are you trying to do…?
“Mom!” Not waiting for Zheng Yao to stop, Xia Ning interrupts in a cold voice. She says word by word, “You don’t like my being your daughter-in-law, do you?” Not expecting Xia Ning will throw out these words, Zheng Yao is shocked for quite a while.
“Mom, I know I am not the perfect daughter-in-law in your heart. However, I have been always bearing my duty as the daughter-in-law of the Yi’s Family. Anyway, no matter how hard I try, I can’t do it well. I have been working in C City, while Yin Jingsi is always in B City. How can I have anything to do with her? If you have to say so, I can’t but do nothing. I am too busy at work to talk with you now. You may leave a message to me. I will reply to you when I have time. Bye.”
Xia Ning hangs up.
Then she gives a long sigh of relief.
The world gets quiet.
She becomes a little tense because her mother-in-law often blames her. When she saw her mother-in-law’s call, she instinctively wanted to hang up the phone.
Xia Ning thinks for a while and decides to tell Yi Yunrui about that. She dials Yi Yunrui’s number.
“Sweetheart, don’t speak first. Let me try to guess. You call me because you miss me, don’t you?”
Xia Ning hasn’t opened her mouth, while Yi Yunrui speaks in a low and magnetic voice. It sounds a little coy and tempting.
Xia Ning doesn’t have the mood for joking. She directly says, “Darling, buy a TIME newspaper in the street and turn to the entertainment page. After you finish reading, we will talk. By the way, I have just quarreled with your mother. She may call you later. If you ask me to apologize, I’ll do it, but not now. To be honest, I really don’t know how to make this apology.”
“Wait.” Yi Yunrui listens to her and feels confused. He interrupts, “You said you quarreled with my mother and you want to apologize?”
“Yeah. I directly hung up while she was speaking. If you are not happy with that, I can apologize…”
“Don’t mention apology again! Did my mother call to blame you?”
Xia Ning doesn’t speak. Instead, she gives a sigh.
Yi Yunrui is silent for a while, “I will talk with my mother.”
“Wait! Don’t call at once. Or, she will blame me for telling on her.” Xia Ning strokes her forehead, feeling a headache, “You may wait for her call. I’ll resign myself to everything she may tell.”
Yes. How can she not admit? She can’t speak out her annoyance just like the dumb man who eats bitter can’t express his suffer.
“Sweetheart.” Yi Yunrui softens his voice, “Don’t keep it inside. It is bad for health. If you don’t feel well, you can vent your anger on me. I will talk with my mother. Don’t worry. Is there’s any problem, we will talk about them when I go to pick you up after work. Remember, don’t worry.”
He still feels scared because of Xia Ning’s previous leaving. This kind of mother-in-law pressure may even be tough for him, not to mention for a woman. He is thoughtless in the issue. Now, the problem occurs again. He feels very panic! If his wife leaves again…
Thinking about this, he tightens his hand and adds, “You may go to work now. I will take care of this problem. Anyway, don’t concern with it. OK?”
Xia Ning strokes her head, “Hum. Then, I may go to work now.”
Then, Xia Ning hangs up.
The phone is hung up. Yi Yunrui holds the handset tightly. He frowns and his eyes freeze.
The headline of entertainment page in today’s TIME newspaper?
Thinking about this, Yi Yunrui calls Zhang Hai, “Zhang Hai, buy a TIME newspaper for me, today’s newspaper.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Five minutes later, Zhang Hai brings the newspaper and stands in front of the door. Yi Yunrui takes over the newspaper. Zhang Hai says, “Commander, do you have other instructions?”
“Waiting downstairs for orders.”
“Yes!”
Yi Yunrui closes the door and opens the newspaper. He turns to the entertainment page and reads the words there. He blinks his eyes!
Deep in his slanted eyes, dangerous signals circle round.
Is it Yin Tianyang’s first move? Or, it is his fighting back?
Or, is it Yin Jingsi’s stupid action?
Yi Yunrui is in meditation when his phone rings. It is his mother, Zheng Yao.
“Mom, morning.”
“Do you know what your wife did? I called her just now. She dared hang up the phone! Well. Did your wife tell you that?”
Yi Yunrui frowns tightly. He crumples the newspaper into a ball and throws it away, “Mom, what did you say to Ning just now?”
