Chapter 464 It Is Totally Unreasonable!
“Ha. Ha. Ha. Ning, I am your cousin-in-law now! Come on. Call me Cousin!” Li Baoer says when she makes faces.
She is really glad. She is glad very much. Xia Ning and she are always friends. And now, they are relatives, too! They have an even stronger bond in their relationship than just being friends!
She feels glad that she has a closer relation with Ning. All this life, she and Ning are family members!
Xia Ning fakes a helpless expression and shrugs her shoulders. She clears her throat and calls, “Hi, Cousin!”
“Hey, Cousin!” Li Baoer responds with pleasure. An idea suddenly pops up in her brain, “I didn’t expect that Heng would become your elder cousin! I think that must surprise Heng greatly! You are of similar ages and are cousins!”
Li Baoer murmurs. Then, when she glimpses Yi Yunrui, she lifts her lips and puts on a teasing smile, “Commander Yi, ha. Ha….”
Xia Ning realizes what Baoer is thinking. She makes some coughs and changes the topic at once, “Baoer, I have something to discuss with my husband. Do you mind going back to the house first?”
Li Baoer curls her lips, “My cousin puts her husband before her friends. She simply kicks me away because of her man. Who am I in her eyes…”
“Mom!” Zhenzhen finally loses her patience. She draws Li Baoer away, “Let’s go in. We may give Sister Xia and Uncle Yi some privacy.”
Xia Ning sees Li Baoer go back to the house. She turns to hold Yi Yunrui. She leans her head on Yi Yunrui’s chest, “Darling, have dad and mom settled their problem?”
Yi Yunrui nods, “Dad raised three requirements on mom and told her to sign a guarantee. Within half a year, dad and mom won’t divorce.”
“Half a year?” Zheng Yao is hard on her, but Xia Ning is clear that Yi Xian and Zheng Yao are couples who have gone through a lot together. Xia Ning will feel very sorry for them if they really divorce because of her.
“Dad gives mom a probation of six months.” Yi Yunrui gently strokes his wife’s hair. He says tenderly, “Sweetheart, sorry. You are wronged. Mom promised to dad that she would not interfere in our life and she would openly apologize to you. If you don’t think it enough, you can tell me. I will talk with my father. I will fight for your justice.”
“Mom is going to apologize to me openly?” Xia Ning lifts to look at Yi Yunrui’s eyes, “How will she do that?”
“In the newspaper, on the TV and other media, she will openly apologize to you. Sweetheart, do you have any other requirements?”
Xia Ning shakes her head. After all, Zheng Yao is her senior. If she makes open apologies in these ways, that will really humiliate her dignity.
“Don’t you think it inconsiderate to tell mom to openly apologize to me?”
Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes, “No. What she has done to you is more inconsiderate. She is my mother, but we are not irrational people. Those who did anything wrong should take responsibility. In addition, if mom doesn’t do that, your uncle won’t easily give her a break.”
Xia Ning turns silent. Yi Yunrui is right. Rui didn’t do anything wrong while her uncle still didn’t allow him to go into the house, not to mention Zheng Yao.
At this time, Li Baoer and Steward Zhou come out from the house hurriedly to them. Steward Zhou says, “Miss, Mr. Dai invites a lot of reporters to come here and announces that you are his niece in public. He told me to ask you to go there. I am not clear what exactly happens there. Based on Mr. Dai’s personality, he may want you to show up there to warn some people.”
Xia Ning thinks for a while. Her uncle didn’t mention the history in the past years. Now, he specially invites so many reporters here to make the public announcement… Obviously, he does everything for her! Her uncle wants to tell everyone that she is his niece. Those who want to bring any troubles to Xia Ning will be asking for trouble from him!
Therefore, Xia Ning’s mother-in-law will have to apologize. However, if it goes on like this, there will be some problems.
Even if Zheng Yao makes apologies, based on her personality, she won’t be resigned to that.
Wait!
Instead of waiting for her mother-in-law’s apologizing, why doesn’t she take the chance to have some initiative actions?
Xia Ning makes up her mind. She turns to Steward Zhou, “I see. Steward Zhou, please lead the way.”
“OK. Miss, this way please.”
Xia Ning nods. She holds Yi Yunrui’s hand tightly, “Darling, I am afraid. Can you go with me?”
Yi Yunrui hears his wife’s pleading. He knows that if he goes with her, Dai Zhen will be displeased with him. However, his wife asks him for the favor. It is impossible for him to refuse her!
He may try to do something to make Dai Zhen forgive him after that.
The foreyard of Dai’s mansion is crowded with reporters. Xia Ning feels shocked to see the microphones piled up there like a small hill.
Half an hour ago, Dai’s mansion was quiet. Now, it is crowded with people.
Dai Zhen and the other old generals wear suits. They are talking and answering the questions from the reporters. Xia Ning suddenly realizes that Dai’s mansion was so quiet just now because the old generals were going to get all the reporters here.
Steward Zhou goes forward to whisper by Dai Zhen’s ear. Dai Zhen turns around. When he sees Xia Ning, he puts on a bright smile. However, when he sees Yi Yunrui, the smile on his face is frozen.
“Ning, come here.” Dai Zhen holds out his hand.
Xia Ning goes forward. Dai Zhen holds her hand and says to the reporters, “Everyone, this is my niece, Xia Ning.”
Then, Dai Zhen gives a speech and briefly tells the regretful event that happened tens of years ago.
Dai Zhen speaks, but he doesn’t seem to have the intention that Xia Ning may say anything. When the reporters ask questions, Dai Zhen and the other generals directly respond briefly.
Xia Ning is aware that this news conference is going to end. She collects her emotions. Then, she holds out a hand to take a microphone. She says, “Uncle, Generals, do you mind if I say something?”
Xia Ning’s sudden action shocks Dai Zhen greatly.
Not waiting for her uncle to respond, Xia Ning continues, “Uncle, I want to thank you and the generals for your kindness to me. I am really moved. I thought that after my grandmother and my parents passed away, I was alone in this world. It is a surprise that I still have an uncle. Uncle Dai, I could hardly believe it when I heard the news. I have a lot in my heart, but I don’t know how to express them. Anyway, Uncle, I want to tell you that in the following days, I will try my best to be your good niece.”
Then, Xia Ning hesitates. She takes a deep breath, “I thank god for giving me so many family members all of a sudden. Family is very important to me. I wish all my family members happiness and safety. By the way, besides expressing gratitude to my uncle, I would like to take this chance to say something to another person, my mother-in-law Zheng Yao. Mom, you may believe or not. What I am going to say is serious.”
“Mom, first of all, thank you. You raise three excellent sons. Without you, it is impossible for me to get married to such a great husband. You called me a bitch and thought that I was malicious. If I had known my husband would be Yi Yunrui, I would have become the most malicious bitch. I like to be the wife of Yi Yunrui, for no matter how many lives I may have. Mom, I know I am imperfect in many aspects and is not good enough to be your ideal daughter-in-law. However, I will try my best to improve myself. I hope you can give me another chance. I will make myself better.”
“Mom, thank you very much for creating such a great husband for me. In the end, I want to say, your son is so good a husband for me that I will never give him up! Mom, Uncle, both you are my dearest family members. As it is said, a harmonious family is a prosperous one. It is really fortunate for us to become family members in this life. What I want most to see is that we family members have a harmonious life and stay happily together. Will we?”
It is a large office. The red national flag and the emblem are put in the center. Guards are standing around. It looks dignified and respectable.
A man sits in the office. He looks deep and wise. He shows no emotions on his face. However, the casual light flashing in his eyes is so sharp that it can totally shock everybody.
Below one but above all the others! These are the words to be used to properly describe the temperament of this man.
“Do you mean this girl?”
The deep voice sounds thoughtfully tactical. Tang Qieying who is sitting beside nods, “Yes. It is her.”
“Why do you defend her?”
Tang Qieying turns around to look at the man. There is something special in her eyes. She says, “Because she didn’t do that! I trust Yi Yunrui and I trust this girl even better. In addition, how can she be so foolish to reveal someone else’s miserable history in her report?” Tang Qieying gives a sigh, “When the event happened, this girl was not born yet. I had some contact with her for some time. She totally had no motives and doesn’t need to hurt me.”
The man turns silent. His calm and cool face shows no emotions.
She is Dai Zhen’s niece, Yi Yunrui’s wife, the president of Junhao Group, and Prince Davis’ …
Even Ying defends her. He becomes interested in the girl. He slightly opens his mouth and says in a voice which seems to be able to go through people’s souls, “Ying, it is up to you.”
The reporters all leave. It is at ten in the evening. But the living room of Dai’s mansion is crowded with people.
Dai Zhen stares at Yi Yunrui angrily. If Xia Ning was not there, he might take out his gun again.
Xia Ning goes closer to Yi Yunrui. She says to Dai Zhen, “Uncle, I am sorry. I told Rui to come in. It was my own idea to give the speech to the reporters. Rui had nothing to do with that. Uncle, please don’t be angry. If you are, you may be mad at me…”
“Ning, don’t defend your husband! Come here!” Dai Zhen says and pats the seat beside him.
Xia Ning is reluctant to take any action. One is her uncle while the other is her husband. She can’t make a perfect choice.
“Sweetheart, you may go to sit by your uncle. It is the fault of the Yi family. I can’t deny responsibility.”
Xia Ning frowns. She knows that Dai Zhen will defend her. What she did just now made Dai Zhen angry. She can understand that. However, Yi Yunrui has nothing to do with that. She wonders why her uncle turns against Yi Yunrui.
Dai Zhen finds that Xia Ning doesn’t move to him. He freezes his eyes. He points at Yi Yunrui, “You, go out! Dai’s mansion doesn’t welcome people from the Yi family!”
Hearing this, Xia Ning feels shocked, “Uncle, Rui didn’t do anything wrong. Why do you punish him?”
“Ning, you didn’t do anything wrong, either, did you? Why did Zheng Yao deliberately go against you? Can you tell me why?”
