Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 411 Make Up Her Mind to Fight Back till the Last Minute!

Xia Ning takes over the key from Yi Xian with mixed feelings. For an instant, she feels herself a loser. She has been the daughter-in-law of the family for a long time while she even can’t open the door of the house.

She holds the key tightly. She calms herself down and says, “Dad, Mom, Aunt Zhou, Miss Mei, I may not disturb your dinner. I am leaving now…”

“Why?” Zhou Mengyao draws Xia Ning and pushes her back to the seat, “There are so many dishes here. They can’t finish them. If you leave, how can I stay for dinner? No. You have to stay. I am hungry.”

Then, Zhou Mengyao sits down. She takes up the soup to drink, “Nanny Huang is a great cook. The soup is rich in the flavor of home. Sister Zheng, you have been married with Xian for a long time. Have you ever cooked?”

Zheng Yao slightly changes her face. She was born in a famous family and had a rich life. How could she ever do the things that are supposed to be done by servants?

Zhou Mengyao smiles, “Ah. I forget. You are from a famous family. How could you ever do such things? Ah…The problem is that every man wants to be taken care of by his wife. Sister Zheng, as a mother-in-law, when you criticize someone else, have you ever thought of setting a good example?”

Zheng Yao hears Zhou Mengyao’s mockery. She can’t find the proper words to respond. She thinks for quite a while and fails to come up with any good arguments. She says, “It is between Xian and me. No one should judge.”

“Sister Zheng, you are right!” Zheng Mengyao glances at Xia Ning, “Ning, you and Rui’s marriage life should not be interfered by other people. Do you agree?”

Zheng Yao is talked back by her own words. It is like a slap in the face for Zheng Yao. Xia Ning doesn’t reply while Zheng Yao has been so furious that she grits her teeth.

Mei Ruo sees that. She says, “It seems that Aunt Zhou is very good at being a wife. Can you teach me when you are free?”

Zhou Mengyao glances at Mei Ruo, “You are the daughter of vice-chief of staff Mei, Colonel Mei?”

“I am flattered. I benefit from being the daughter of my father…”

“That’s right. You know it. It is advantageous to you. As to real capability, I doubt what you can do.”

“Zhou Mengyao, you have gone too far!” Zheng Yao fails to control her temper. She forcefully puts down the chopsticks, “You are in Yi Villa. It is not a place for you to casually mock others.”

Zhou Mengyao smiles coldly, “I am not the one who initiated it.”

Zhou Mengyao glimpses that Zheng Yao wants to argue. She waves her hand to stop Zheng Yao, “Well. Let’s stop talking about that. Ah. Xian, I haven’t seen you for over ten years. Things and people are really different now. Seemingly, the dinner…can’t go on in harmony. I am not used to dining in such condition. I may invite you and Ning for dinner at my place someday when you are free. I will be the cook!”

Zheng Yao realizes that Zhou Mengyao is trying to attract the attention of Yi Xian. She bursts into a fury, “Xian will not go. He can eat whatever he wants at home!”

“Ahem!” At the moment, Yi Xian makes a short cough. He ignores his wife and slightly lifts his lips to respond to Zhou Mengyao, “OK. We may set a day. I may go to have a dinner at your place with my son and daughter-in-law. Don’t blame me for bringing too many people there then.”

Not expecting that her husband will reply so, Zheng Yao feels shocked in surprise.

Zhou Mengyao smiles, “It may happen only a few times over the years. I can’t be gladder with that. However, if Sister Zheng doesn’t want to go, it is fine for her not to go. I am afraid that we may quarrel, or even fight at that time. Junhao has passed away. No one can protect me. I am just a weak woman. I am afraid.”

Zheng Yao is aware that Zhou Mengyao is definitely neglecting her. Her face turns grey. She says, “Zhou Mengyao, without my permission, no one in the Yi Villa will go to your place…”

“OK. Maybe in a few days. We may set the time. I will take them with me! Don’t worry, I won’t take Zheng Yao there.” As if he doesn’t hear Zheng Yao’s words, Yi Xian gently smiles and responds to Zhou Mengyao.

Zhou Mengyao puts on an even brighter smile. She glances at Zheng Yao who is gasping heavily. Zhou Mengyao’s eyes gleam dismissively. She turns to look at Mei Ruo. She screws her beautiful slanted eyes, “Colonel Mei is really pretty with a good family background. The man who can marry you is lucky.”

When she sees Mei Ruo want to respond, she suddenly changes her tone, “It is surprising that with such advantageous conditions, you come to grab another woman’s husband and initiatively serve yourself as a dish…Ah. I have met cheap women, but none as cheap as you. Ning, let’s go.”

Zhou Mengyao finishes her words and turns to walk to the door.

Xia Ning stands up. She has just taken one step when she hears Zheng Yao yell behind, “Xia Ning, you dare to go with that woman, and you can never enter this house again!”

Xia Ning pauses. She clenches her fists and turns to Zheng Yao, “Mom, the lock of the house was changed, and I was the last one to know. Next time, when I come back, the lock may be changed again. Sometimes, it is not up to me whether I am able to enter this house when I want. Excuse me.”

Xia Ning bows to her father-in-law, Yi Xian, and her mother-in-law, Zheng Yao. She takes up her handbag and goes to follow Zhou Mengyao hurriedly.

After they leave, Zheng Yao forcefully slaps the table. Some bowls and chopsticks fall to the ground. The bowls are broken into pieces.

“Xian, did you see that? Look at these two women! Look at their coquettish behaviors! Your obedient daughter-in-law Xia Ning is aligning with others to dismantle her own family…”

“Shut up!”

Yi Xian shouts in a loud voice. Zheng Yao is shocked to stop at once. She looks at her husband confusedly.

“Those two women? Aren’t you the same? Coquettish? You know who is coquettish! Dismantle her own family? That’s what you are doing!”

Zheng Yao is shocked blankly. They have been married for tens of years and it is the first time for her husband to speak such harsh words to her…

Yi Xian darkens his face with anger deep in his eyes, “You want to have Mei Ruo to be your daughter-in-law, don’t you? Well! You may go to have another son with someone else!”

Yi Xian turns around and takes up his clothes to walk out.

He almost gets to the door when Zheng Yao finally collects herself. She comes to him hurriedly, “Xian, Xian! Where are you going? It is late…”

Mei Ruo is left alone at the table. She sits there silently. Her face gradually turns distorted.

Every word Zhou Mengyao and Yi Xian said just now sounded like a sharp sword sticking directly into her heart. She grits her teeth and sad tears blur her eyes.

Does Xia Ning want to force her to give up by giving those sarcastic mockery? Xia Ning, no way!

Mei Ruo screws her eyes and a light of chill flashes inside. She slightly lifts her lips and smiles evilly.

Xia Ning, how dare you play tricks on me! Let’s wait and see!

Xia Ning feels surprised to see an extended Rolls-Royce out of the gate. Zhou Mengyao is sitting inside waving at her.

Xia Ning gets in the car. She hasn’t calmed down from surprise. She knows that Aunt Zhou is rich. But she always keeps low-key. When Xia Ning sees this luxurious car, she truly realizes the identity of Aunt Zhou: the president of Junhao Group.

“What do you want to eat?” Zhou Mengyao asks.

Xia Ning purses her lips. She shakes her head, “I don’t have any appetite now.”

After all that happened just now, she has no appetite for dinner at all.

Zhou Mengyao holds out her hand to pat her shoulder, “You may calm down first. I am going to talk with you about something. You may need to think it over carefully.”

Xia Ning nods. At the time, the car is started. Zhou Mengyao says, “Go to Harbor Wharf.”

The wind gently blows with moisture and coolness. It is at seven in the evening. The heat of the day has gone away. They sit on the stone bench by the bank. It is very comfortable.

They are facing the harbor with colorful neon lights on the opposite of the bank. It looks as beautiful as the crystal underwater palace in fairy tales.

“Ning, do you feel better now?” Zhou Mengyao says when she passes a bottle of juice to Xia Ning.

Xia Ning takes a deep breath, “Hum. I feel much better.”

Zhou Mengyao looks at Xia Ning for a while. She says, “I am sorry. What I am going to say may make you upset again. However, I have to say it and you must listen.”

Xia Ning is aware of Zhou Mengyao’s serious tone. She can guess what Zhou Mengyao is going to say. She holds the juice tightly in her hand and nods, “Aunt Zhou, you may go ahead. I won’t be upset.”

“You are a kind girl.” Zhou Mengyao feels sad for her, “I am thinking. If you hadn’t married to Yi Yunrui, you wouldn’t have suffered all those condemnation and slander. Ning, do you feel depressed about this?”

Xia Ning feels her heart tightened. She thinks for a while and says, “Ever since I married to Rui, mom hasn’t liked me. I know why. I can understand, too. When she said those words to me, I really felt very uncomfortable. However, I never hate anyone for that. After all, everyone has their stands.”

“Are you going to spend your whole life with Rui? Please think about it carefully before you answer. If you do, you have to endure everything. In the future, it may be useless for you to simply endure. You have to learn how to fight back. If you don’t show the toughness of you, other people will bully you more and more badly.”

Those who always take whatever is given to them can’t but allow others to bully them even worse. Kind people often suffer. This has always been the truth. Xia Ning understands. She has struggled for a long time. After all, Zheng Yao is Yi Yunrui’s mother.

However, she saw it clearly just now. In order to kick her away, Zheng Yao really took every effort she could. She even wanted to make Xia Ning disappear from the world…

Everyone dies eventually. But Xia Ning is unwilling to leave Yi Yunrui. She loves him. She is also clear that if she is dead, Yi Yunrui will suffer a greater pain.

To give up the love? To leave Yi Yunrui?

Unless Yi Yunrui abandons her, no one else can take Rui away from her!

She understands what Zhou Mengyao’s words mean. She wants Xia Ning to align with her to fight against Zheng Yao.

Xia Ning doesn’t know what Zhou Mengyao is going to do next, but she believes in her instinct and trusts Zhou Mengyao.

She believes that Aunt Zhou doesn’t have any bad intentions.

Xia Ning doesn’t respond. Zhou Mengyao waits for her in patience. Xi Ning is silent. Zhou Mengyao is silent, too.

After quite a while, Xia Ning stands up. As if she has made up her mind, she freezes her eyes and looks directly at Zhou Mengyao, “Aunt Zhou, I see. I won’t give up Yi Yunrui. I don’t allow anyone to ruin my happiness, either, even they may be Yi Yunrui’s family!
