Chapter 350 One Woman and Eight Men!
How can Xia Ning not notice Zhengyao’s look and her mind? Misunderstanding already happened. No matter how she explains, Zheng Yao simply will not believe her. Besides, Zhang Hai and Li Baoer were worried about her. Zhang Hai took the risk of being transferred away, while Li Baoer spent several hours coming here directly for her.
Having such nice friends, how can she not feel moved!
Well. Let it be. She called for help. So what?
Zheng Yao doesn’t like her. She may continue to dislike her. Anyway, Xia Ning has never expected that Zheng Yao to like her.
However, she knows that Zheng Yao feels beaten this time and will definitely try harder to win back next time. Xia Ning has to get prepared for it.
At the time, Xing has got the chicken wings done. He brings ten of them, “Mrs. Yi and Mrs. Dai, these three are spicy, these three are salty and these four are sweet. Yu may have a taste first. We are still making more.”
Xia Ning takes them over and thanks him, “Thank you very much!”
“Ning, don’t be too polite to them! They may not be used to it.” Li Baoer points at the water in the carton, “Xing, bring me two boxes of the drink Wong Lo Kat.”
“OK!” Xing turns around and takes two boxes of the drink Wong Lo Kat. He turns to Xia Ning, “Mrs. Dai is right. Mrs. Yi, you don’t need to be so polite to us. That seems too strange. Ha, ha…”
Xia Ning glimpses behind Xing, there are still tens of chicken wings on the rack. She feels surprised. They do have tiger and wolf’s appetite.”
Zheng Yao has got quite a lot of roasted chicken wings there. Because Dai Zhongheng is here, Zheng Yao feels inappropriate to be picky and eats the food as it is.
It seems that she doesn’t need to serve Zheng Yao today. Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief. She turns to Xing, “Please make some more sweet chicken wings. Four pieces of them are not enough for me.”
“OK! Mrs. Yi and Mrs. Dai, you may eat these first, I will make some more for you.”
Xia Ning responds hurriedly, “Xing, no hurry. You may eat some first, too.”
“We ate some when we were doing the barbecue.” Xing glances at Zhenzhen. He strokes his head and says, “Mrs. Dai, please don’t be angry with us. The chicken wings we eat are being prepared by Zhenzhen.”
Li Baoer’s hands pause. She turns to Zhenzhen and sees that the little girl sits aside to barbecue the chicken swings very carefully and then send them to the soldiers.
Li Baoer feels sweet. Her heart softens. She says, “Xing, tell Zhenzhen that when she feels tired, she may come to her mommy.”
“OK!” Xing responds in a loud voice. He turns around to go to Zhenzhen and speaks by her ear.
Zhenzhen looks at Li Baoer. She blinks her eyes and smiles to make a gesture of OK.
Li Baoer responds with a gesture of OK, too.
Xia Ning looks at “the mother and daughter”. She feels unworried now. Li Baoer really loves Zhenzhen sincerely.
They communicate with gestures. Dai Zhongheng sits there and sees what the woman and the girl he loves most do clearly. He feels very warm in his heart.
When he is not with them…Baoer will take good care of Zhenzhen.
“Ning.” Baoer draws Xia Ning and says in a low voice, “Do you want to stay at my home for some days?”
Xia Ning understands what Baoer implies. She smiles to shake her head, “Not for now. I will let you know if it is necessary.”
“Don’t you forget that.” Li Baoer says emotionally, “No matter when, as long as you call me, I will come to help you right away.”
“Thank you. For now, I may withstand it. Anyway, Rui hasn’t come back. I don’t want to put him in difficulty.”
Li Baoer purses her lips. Then, she pats on Xia Ning’s shoulder, “Ning, that must have been really hard for you. However, I believe when your husband comes back, he will at once help you to get back the justice!”
“You Silly.” Xia Ning touches her forehead, “My mother-in-law is Rui’s mother. How can a son ask for justice from his mother? Baoer, I may warn you first. When Rui comes back, you are not to mention anything about my mother-in-law and Mei Ruo. Don’t forget it!”
Li Baoer widens her eyes, “They are so unscrupulous. Why can’t I mention that?”
“No, you can’t!” Xia Ning responds seriously, “I know you are worried about me. I feel very moved. However, there’re issues inside the family. It is hard to tell it clearly. As the saying goes, a harmonious family heads for its prosperity in every aspect. Let me deal with it.”
Li Baoer gives a sigh, “All right. But, Ning, don’t wrong yourself too much. Even if your commander husband doesn’t worry about you, I do.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t make myself too wronged. It is just not serious enough for taking any necessary actions.”
Zheng Yao’s plan becomes an outing activity with Dai Zhongheng’s family here. Except Zheng Yao and Mei Ruo, everybody has a good time. When they get home, the sun has set.
They took a lot of food with them to the mountain. When they leave for home, Xia Ning doesn’t take anything back with her, because it is tiring to carry them. Zhenzhen took all the chicken wings, both the done and the raw ones, with her. After all, she has got five soldiers with her.
Zheng Yao’s face is grey with anger. Once getting home, she yells at Xia Ning, “Xia Ning, you are really talented!”
Xia Ning has walked for hours today. She feels exhausted. She finds that her mother-in-law speaks in such a loud voice. She almost admires her.
In this aspect, her mother-in-law is definitely more energetic than her.
However, she doesn’t want to quarrel with her mother-in-law now.
“Mom, you are flattering me. I will get a cup of water for you.”
“No need! You don’t need to be hypocritical here! Ruo, please get a cup of water for me.” Zheng Yao sits down on the sofa. She takes off her coat and throws it towards Xia Ning, “Go to do the cleaning later.”
Xia Ning takes up the clothes from the floor. She slightly frowns, “Well, I’ll go to wash the clothes first.”
Zheng Yao has just taken over the water from Mei Ruo. She puts it down forcefully, “Are you deaf? I told you to do the cleaning! The chairs and floor are very dirty. Go to wipe them clean. Finish it before going to bed.”
Xia Ning glances around. The house is about 150 square meters. It is not as large as the Yi Villa where Zheng Yao lives in. However, to carefully clean it up, she will have to spend more than two hours.
Based on her current condition, it won’t work. In addition, if she collapses because of being exhausted, she will not be able to go to work tomorrow. She has asked quite a lot of leaves this month. She can’t ask for it again.
“Mom, I am sorry. I am too tired. I can’t finish the work you mentioned. I may do it tomorrow when I have time. I will wash the clothes and then, I will go to sleep.” Then, she walks towards the bathroom.
“Xia Ning, you stop!”
Zheng Yao’s angry voice is heard behind. Xia Ning hesitates.
“Don’t you ever think that you can neglect me because Rui likes you. Listen to me, I am still the hostess of the family! I am Rui’s mother. In this world, Rui has only one mother! Don’t you ever forget that!”
Yes. She keeps it in her mind. She surely understands the implication of Zheng Yao’s words.
A man can have several wives, but only one mother!
If she fails to get the approval of Zheng Yao, Zheng Yao will part her from Yi Yunrui.
Xia Ning gives a sigh. She turns around and responds slowly, “Mom, it is the 21st century now. The rules you used are not useful today. If you don’t like me as a daughter-in-law, you can say it out. If Rui tells me to go, I will say nothing and leave at once. I will not bring any trouble to Yi Villa, either. Mom, I am your daughter-in-law and supposed to treat you kindly and respect you. However, I hope you also respect me. I am a human being, not an animal to be bullied by you casually! I am tired and can’t do the cleaning today. But I will do it tomorrow. That is all I want to say.”
After finishing her speech, Xia Ning turns around to walk into the bathroom without giving a glance at Zheng Yao again.
A crash of glass comes from the living room. Xia Ning gives a sigh.
She loves Yi Yunrui more and more. She only wants to be his wife all her life. She is willing to serve him and his parents.
However, she is not a woman of ancient dynasties. She can’t accept everything helplessly as women in the ancient dynasties did.
When her mother-in-law gives her orders, she will follow them if it is reasonable and within her capability. However, if they cross the boundary, she is not going to blindly obey them.
Yes, a man only has one mother, while he can have many wives. But according to the laws, she and Yi Yunrui are not to divorce.
Unless Yi Yunrui asks for it.
Xia Ning takes a deep breath. She may get some preparation in advance. Or, she may be put in embarrassment if it happens.
Rui, please come back soon. If there is any further delay, Xia Ning is afraid that she may have no choices but to fight against her mother-in-law.
The next day, Xia Ning wakes up early. It is about six in the morning.
She goes out of her room. But she doesn’t see Zheng Yao or Mei Ruo. Seemingly, they were too tired yesterday and haven’t got up yet.
Mei Ruo will prepare breakfast for Zheng Yao. Xia Ning thinks that she’d better leave as soon as possible.
She quickly finishes dressing and washing. She opens the refrigerator to take some cheese. When she turns around, she glimpses a note on the table saying: Ten dishes and a soup for supper!
Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows. Ten dishes and a soup? What an idea!
Anyway, she will go back to the Media Building now.
Xia Ning has plenty of time. She has a good breakfast outside and walks around. When she comes back to her office, it is past seven in the morning.
People come back to the building one by one. When Xia Ning walks through the building, she glimpses many people looking at her. Their looks are strange.
Instinctively, she feels that something happened.
In the past, every time when some things happened, people would “tell” her by their looks.
Xia Ning goes back to her office in a hurry. She turns on the computer and browses the news about her. When the computer is on, the headline of the newspaper attracts all her attention at once.
The headline says: One Woman VS Eight Men, Like A Tiger, Like A Wolf!
The subtitle is: The Fox Showed Its Tail.
There are a lot of photos in the report of the headline, which are all about having sex. The photos are specially treated and the private parts of bodies are covered with checks. The photos are vague. However, it is recognizable that the woman on them is Du Bei!
The content of the photos is sexual. One woman and eight men are doing indescribable things. It is unbelievably bold!
Xia Ning twitches her lips, feeling very embarrassed to see that.
The news exaggeratedly describes the affair of Du Bei. It also lists that Du Bei made use of her strong background of illegal society to bully many people, including common people and stars. What is surprising is that quite some male stars give evidence for that. Those male stars are all very handsome.
Since this report is published, it is imaginable that Du Bei has become the lover of thousands of people, a whore, from a proud daughter of the boss of an illegal society. Seemingly, from now on, when Du Bei walks in the streets, she may need to carry a mask to hide her face.
However, that is not the only piece of hot news. There is another little piece below, which makes Xia Ning’s eyes brightened.
