Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 247 Speak It Out Clearly

Xia Ning slightly slows her steps. Butler Wang also stops. Xia Ning thinks for a while. As if she makes up her mind, she makes a cough. The worry on her face has disappeared. She says to Butler Wang, “Uncle Wang, thank you for your reminding. Let’s go inside.”

Butler Wang nods. He leads Xia Ning to enter the living room.

Mr. Dai and Zheng Yao, Xia Ning’s mother-in-law, are sitting there. It seems that they have only talked for a while. But both of them look kind of displeased. Maybe they come across some differences in some issues.

“Mom, Uncle Dai.” Xia Ning greets them politely.

Mr. Dai sees Xia Ning and his dark face brightens at once. He smiles, “Ning, you here. Come here. Have a seat. Butler Wang, bring us some tea.”

Butler Wang responds and leaves.

Xia Ning looks at her mother-in-law, “Mom, what brings you here?”

Zheng Yao curls her lips. She is displeased, “Someone makes me worried. So, I come here.”

Hearing this, Mr. Dai is unhappy, “What do you mean by saying that someone makes you worried? Zheng Yao, listen carefully. Your man Yi Xian is too accommodative to you. But it doesn’t mean that you can be reckless here in my house! If you want to quarrel, you may leave!”

Both Xia Ning and Zheng Yao are shocked to hear what Mr. Dai says. Zheng Yao doesn’t expect that Mr. Dai, who doesn’t care about anything, would be so tough. Zheng Yao looks embarrassed on her face.

Something happened two days ago. It made her very nervous. Her husband Yi Xian was out for business. These days, she thought about the issue again and again. She decided to come to C City in person to find out the truth.

Xia Ning is aware of Zheng Yao’s uneasy expression. She smiles, “Mom, if I did anything wrong, you may tell me. Or...shall we find a place to have a talk?”

It is almost sure that her mother-in-law comes to C City for her. Xia Ning knows that Mr. Dai is protecting her. That is why he doesn’t like the words her mother-in-law just said.

Being scolded by Mr. Dai, Zheng Yao feels her heart stuck. She suddenly stands up, “Come with me!”

Saying this, she turns to go upstairs.

Xia Ning is just going to follow her. Mr. Dai says, “Ning, don’t be afraid. Anything happens, I will back you!”

Xia Ning feels warm in her heart, “Uncle Dai, Mom won’t be hard on me. Don’t worry.”

Then, she turns to follow Zheng Yao.

Mr. Dai looks at their backs. The expression on his face is kind of complicated.

They go to a quiet room on the second floor. Xia Ning turns to close the door.

“Xia Ning, what’s wrong with you?”

The door is just closed, when Zheng Yao bursts into yelling. She shouts so loudly that Xia Ning is shocked all of a sudden.

Xia Ning knows that the sound insulation is good in Mr. Dai’s house. Even her mother-in-law speaks the most loudly, no words can be heard outside.

“Mom, what happened? Can you tell me what I have done wrong?”

Zheng Yao widens her eyes, “It has become such a mess. Do you still want to pretend to be innocent? Tell me, what happened between you and Yin’s family? Jingsi and Mayor Yin came to Yi Villa themselves! Jingsi cried in front of me for almost an hour. What Mayor Yin said seemed soft but tough. Xia Ning, you really have your nerve. Are you doing overturning or rebellion?”

Xia Ning slightly twitches her lips, “Mom, you are overreacting. In addition, I don’t have the ability to do that!”

Yin Jingsi and Yin Tianyang went to meet her mother-in-law. That is not beyond her expectation. After all, this is the typical Yin’s family method. Yin Jingsi has done that several times.

“Are you smiling? Do you feel it funny or are you proud of it? Do you have to ruin them and their family to fulfill your desire? Well, I haven’t asked you before. Why were you missing some time ago? Xia Ning, listen carefully. You don’t care about Rui, while there are many people caring about him! Don’t be irrationally reckless because of Rui’s being partial to you! If I, Zheng Yao, disagree, you have to leave!”

Hearing this, Xia Ning feels her heart stuck and a fury rush up. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She lifts to stare at Zheng Yao. She says word by word, “Mom, Rui is kind to me. I am grateful for that all my life. I admit that I am not good enough for him in the family background and other aspects. I am also clear that without me, Rui will find another woman very soon. Mom, what I want to say is that Rui hasn’t divorced me yet. I am still your daughter-in-law and a member of the Yi Villa. When some outsiders attack and take revenge on me, you simply deal with that like this? You don’t protect your family members. Instead, you push me away. Well, if Yi Villa is afraid of getting in trouble for this issue. I have to accept it. It is my fault to offend the people who can scare Yi Villa! As to Yin’s family, I will fight to the end. However, I will never ask for any protection from Yi Villa!”

Not expecting that Xia Ning will give such a tough speech, Zheng Yao is shocked blankly. Not knowing why, she can’t deny what Xia Ning just says.

Push her family member outside...

Not protect family members...

“Xia Ning...You...”

“Mom.” Since they have gone so far, Xia Ning doesn’t hesitate because of the eldership rules. She asks directly, “Do you regard me as a member of Yi Family? Do you regard me as your daughter-in-law?”

Zheng Yao feels stuck. She doesn’t respond for quite a while.

Xia Ning feels her heart gradually sinking.

She had predicted what Zheng Yao would say, but still, she feels her heart aching badly. She is clear that she has never been the perfect daughter-in-law in her mother-in-law’s opinion. Zheng Yao has always thought that Xia Ning is not good enough for her son.

Xia Ning clenches her fists. She grits her teeth and gradually gets an idea in her heart.

When they are in a stalemate, there is a quick knock at the door. A deep but anxious voice is heard, “Mom, Ning, open the door!”

It is Yi Yunrui.

Xia Ning slightly lowers her head, “Mom, do you want me to open the door?”

Zheng Yao takes a deep breath to calm down herself. She turns around, “He is here. How can I not open the door?”

Xia Ning responds and opens the door.

Yi Yunrui walks in. He at once feels the uneasy air in the room. His mother looks angry. His wife frowns. He is nervous, “Mom, why are you here?”

“Why can’t I come here?” Zheng Yao feels the displeasure in her son’s tone. She bursts into a fury again, “Do you forget your mother because you have got your wife? Can’t I have some words with your wife?”

Yi Yunrui freezes his eyes. He draws Xia Ning aside and walks to Zheng Yao, “Mom, since you are here, I want to speak it out clearly today. Ning is my wife. I only want her all my life! You may accept or not. Mom, I know you care about me very much. However, Ning is also our family. Why can’t you just treat her like other family members? If you don’t like her, you may choose not to meet us again in the future.”

Zheng Yao feels a chill in her heart, “You!”

“Mom.” Yi Yunrui interrupts. He passes a red invitation to Zheng Yao, “Ning and I will have a wedding banquet. She has been married to me for two years. We haven’t even had a wedding ceremony. I hope you can be present. Father will come to pick you up soon. Ning and I may leave now.”

Then, Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning’s hand and turns around to leave.
