Chapter 362 The Real Purpose

“To be a boss, my wife has the best potential.” Yi Yunrui says meaningfully.

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. Then, she smiles to shake her head, “I am just kidding. If I really set up a newspaper, I will be exhausted.”

“If you like, you can consider investment. Then, all you need to do is to collect money.”

Xia Ning’s eyes brighten when she hears his words!

That is right. Yi Yunrui invests in his brother Yi Yuntian’s business. It is run by his eldest brother. It will surely make steady profits!

His eldest brother has expanded his business into such a big cake. He has arrived at the stage of choosing his investors. Actually, it is absolutely workable for them to ask their brother for the favor.

Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui. He will stay at home with nothing to do for quite some time. If she starts to make investment and make more money, will there be a bigger and bigger gap between them?

“Darling, do you mind living off a woman’s income?”

“Ahem!” Hearing Xia Ning’s sudden question, Yi Yunrui feels weird to give any responses. He says, “If the woman is you, I don’t mind.”

Xia Ning’s eyes soften. She feels her heart a little painful.

“Actually, I have always been envying men who have time to stay with their wives. Now, I don’t need to envy them. However, I get to be afraid that my wife may feel bored with me. Or, … she may consider me to be unambitious…”

“It is impossible.” Xia Ning denies at once, “I won’t feel that now or in the future!”

He puts on a mild smile on his handsome face. Yi Yunrui gently touches Xia Ning’s nose, “That is right. Now, you understand my feeling. It seems that you often said these words to me in the past. You were afraid that I might despise you. You said that it was not worthy.”

Xia Ning feels shocked. She understands the feeling now.

She purses her lips and slightly lowers her head, “What I worry most is the relation with mom. She is your mother…”

“Even though she is my mother, I won’t be partial to her!” Yi Yunrui says decisively, “You are the woman I am going to spend my life with. Sometimes, you don’t need to be tolerant of her. If anything happens, I will take care of it.”

Xia Ning feels surprised. Is Yi Yunrui telling her to resist?

She may resist or not, but she is not going to give up.

After escaping from Yamaguchi-gumi, she decided that she would never give up Yi Yunrui!

Unless he doesn’t want her!

“Mom came to C City with Mei Ruo two days ago. Darling, did you know that?”

Yi Yunrui nods, “I failed to come back at that time. Zhang Hai told me that.”

“Well. Mom suddenly left. She told me to prepare ten dishes and a soup that day. But she left in the evening.”

“Hum. Something happened in B City. My mother rushed home to take care of it.”

“Oh? What happened?”

Yi Yunrui lifts his head and sees the anxiety in his wife’s eyes. He gently smiles, “An old friend of my father came back. My mother needed to go home to welcome her.”

It is in Yi Villa in B City.

Two women are sitting in the living room. They are both silent, but it feels tense.

Zheng Yao stares at the woman in front of her. She is just the same as she was thirty years ago. She doesn’t look old at all! Let alone other aspects, Zheng Yao feels jealous of her about this.

It is not fair at all between one woman and another!

“Sister Mengyao, do you come back to the country for any special things?” For tens of years, Zhou Mengyao has always been the woman she scruples most. Now, Zhou Mengyao suddenly shows up in front of her. Zheng Yao hasn’t got any preparation for that at all. She is not naïve to believe that Zhou Mengyao comes to talk with her about the old days.

Zhou Mengyao puts down the coffee in her hand. She thinks carefully for a while and responds, “I have something to do, many things actually. Do you want to hear the truths or lies?”

Zheng Yao grits her teeth, wondering whether Zhou Mengyao raises the questions for any purpose.

“The truths, of course.” She tries to keep her patience.

“Truths …” Zhou Mengyao slightly lifts her lips and says word by word, “If I say that I can’t forget Yi Xian for the last over ten years? Zheng Yao, what do you think?”

Zheng Yao widens her eyes!

Unsurprisingly, Zhou Mengyao comes back for Yi Xian!

What she has been worried most … happens…

She is mentally prepared for the answer, however, when it is told by Zhou Mengyao, Zheng Yao still takes a cold breath.

Zhou Mengyao is coming to fight against her for Yi Xian!

Zheng Yao looks at Zhou Mengyao’s teasing eyes. She tries hard to stabilize her emotions. Zhou Mengyao is not a simple woman. If she hadn’t taken the initiative to give up thirty years ago, to be honest, Zheng Yao wouldn’t have had the chance at all.

“You surely have known that I have been married to Yi Xian for tens of years. We have three sons. You may not be able to forget him, but you have to drop the idea.”

“Oh. You have been married for tens of years and have three sons.” Zhou Mengyao talks to herself. She mildly cocks her head, “That seems to be tough for me. Do you want me to face the difficulty and give up?”

“Sister Mengyao, you are a smart woman. You understand what I mean.”

“When it comes to relationship, a woman’s IQ will directly drop to below zero. Well. It is really a little tough…”

Zheng Yao notices the seeming annoyance on Zhou Mengyao’s face. Her eyes darken. She puts down the tea in her hand and says, “Sister Mengyao, I heard about the story about you and Junhao. He loved you and gave you whatever he had. Don’t you feel sorry to him for what you are doing now?”

Zhou Mengyao thinks for a little while. Her eyes gleam sadly. But they return to normal very soon. She slightly lifts her lips and takes a sip of the coffee, “The problem is that he is gone. I stayed with him for over twenty years. He was happy. That was enough. We have to move on. How to spend the rest of my life is up to me.”

Zheng Yao’s hands mildly tremble. Her heart beats with a vague fear. Unconsciously, she breathes more rapidly.

If Zhou Mengyao has made up her mind to fight against her. She is not confident in winning.

For all these tens of years, Yi Xian has been spoiling her, but she knows Yi Xian’s personality very well. There is only one woman in this world able to change him. That is Zhou Mengyao.

Zheng Yao frowns tightly. Suddenly, she has an idea. Her eyebrows relax at once.

“Sister Mengyao, you know Xian very well. What does he care about most? We may skip me. But Yuntian, Yunyi and Yunrui are the dearests to him. Even though you come back, if the three sons disagree, Xian will surely think it over carefully.”

Zhou Mengyao lifts her pretty eyebrows, wondering that Zheng Yao is trying to repress her with her sons.

“Zheng Yao, I think you have ignored one thing.”

“What is it?”

Zhou Mengyao slightly lifts her lips, “The three young masters of Yi Family, except Yi Yunrui, neither Yi Yuntian nor Yi Yunyi has got married. Do you know why? I think that you are clear about the answer.”

Hearing this, Zheng Yao turns a little pale, “Sister Mengyao, you are my senior in school. I always respected you. But it is my family issue, please don’t interfere with it!”

“I don’t interfere with it. I am just telling the truth.” Zhou Mengyao shrugs her shoulders, “I heard that you disliked Yi Yunrui’s wife. It seemed to become quite troublesome. Two days ago, you seemed to go to her house with another woman. Your behavior is abnormally horrible. As a mother-in-law, you are the most awful one.”

Zheng Yao grits her teeth, “Zhou Mengyao, don’t get involved in the Yi Villa! I am the hostess here!”

“It depends.” Lin Mengyao puts on a seeming smile, “It is correct that you have three sons. However, if you go on being so unscrupulous, I wonder what your sons will do, especially the oldest one, Yi Yuntian. He has been away from home for over ten years. He would rather stay outside than come home. The reason is really meaningful.”

“Zhou Mengyao, what else do you know? Did you investigate Yi Villa?”

“Investigate? That is a rude word. No investigation is needed. Someone told me that.” Zhou Mengyao sighs, “To be honest, I don’t come to quarrel with you. Thirty years ago, I let it go. It unnecessarily means that I will let go of it forever. I am not leaving this time. Anyway, I have got plenty of time. I will ask Yi Xian out when I have time. Ha. Ha.”

Zheng Yao turns grey with anger, “Shame on you! How can you face your husband in heaven?”

Zhou Mengyao’s face freezes. She says word by word, “I only know that before he left, my husband told me that I had to be happy! My happiness lies in someone. I will take it back!”

Zheng Yao’s hands tremble. She stares at Zhou Mengyao and can’t speak a word for quite a while.

At the time, Zhou Mengyao’s phone rings. She takes up her phone and puts on a bigger smile. She waves the screen in front of Zheng Yao, “Look, Xian is calling me. Do you think that I should answer the phone or not?”

“You!”

“Hello, Xian. It is you.” Zhou Mengyao presses the answer button. She says sweetly, “That is coincident. I am missing you at the moment.”

Zheng Yao hears her words. She tries hard to control herself from pouring the tea in her hand to Zhou Mengyao. She is clear that this woman is very tricky. She is not like Xia Ning. If she does do anything to her, she will be put in disadvantage and Zhou Mengyao will take the evidence.

She has been married to Yi Xian for tens of years, but Zhou Mengyao’s words are reasonable. In the marriage issue, she does have some disagreements with her three sons.

Some time ago, Yi Xian even warned her seriously…

“This evening? I am free. But aren’t you afraid that your wife may disagree? Ha. Ha. OK. See you this evening.” Zhou Mengyao hangs up the phone. She smiles meaningfully.

Soon, Zheng Yao’s phone rings, too. It is Yi Xian.

Zheng Yao takes a deep breath. She keeps her emotion stable and says, “Honey, I made your favorite soup for supper. Come home earlier…”

“You may keep the soup for me. I have something to do in the evening. You don’t need to prepare supper for me. Bye.”

Yi Xian finishes his words without any explanation. He hangs up.

Zheng Yao feels shocked blankly.

No explanation, but only the instruction…

She has been with him for tens of years. Yi Xian never talked with her in this tone.

“You made Xian’s favorite soup for supper? I also want to drink some. I wonder if you mind.”

Zheng Yao bursts into a fury, “Aren’t you afraid that I poisoned it?”

Zhou Mengyao screws her eyes, “I long for the poison in it. But I wonder whether you dare to do so!”

Zheng Yao’s eyes freeze. She feels her heart tightened! Zhou Mengyao always looks gentle and kind. However, Zheng Yao knows very well that Zhou Mengyao isn’t as simple as she looks like.
