Chapter 410 She Will Never Give Him Up!

Xia Ning may not care if someone else calls her bitch. She clenches her fists and grits her teeth to restrain the anger inside her heart.

Though she is mentally prepared for Zheng Yao’s hostility, she still feels very sad to hear her mother-in-law call her bitch!

Xia Ning clenches her fists and loosens them and clenches again. After repeating that for a few times, she gradually calms down. She says, “I may go to see whether I can help Nanny Huang. We will have supper soon.”

“Did I tell you to leave? Stand here!”

Xia Ning hears Zheng Yao yell behind. She stops, “I haven’t left Rui. So, I am still a member of the Yi Family. The guests will come soon. I need to help prepare the dinner…”

“You don’t need to pretend to be kind! Who says that you are a member of Yi Villa? I don’t!”

Xia Ning turns around, “Mom, you may admit it or not. I don’t think we should go on quarrelling now. It is not good to show the guest that. If you are afraid that I may poison the dishes, you don’t need to be. After all, I am going to eat them myself later. I have got a good husband. I want to live longer. Mom, excuse me. I am leaving now.”

Then, Xia Ning goes to the kitchen.

“Bitch!” Zheng Yao forcefully stamps her foot. She angrily goes back to sit down on the sofa. She gasps and wants to have some water. But she finds that the tea cup is empty.

Isn’t that woman afraid of death?

Does she want to fight against her till the end?

Hum. Does she think it is just a fake threat?

Zheng Yao heavily puts down the tea cup on the table. She grits her teeth. This time, she is not kidding any longer!

Twenty minutes later, two guests come to Yi Villa: Mei Ruo and Zhou Mengyao.

On the big round table, there are ten dishes and a pot of soup. Yi Xian sits in the middle. Zheng Yao and Mei Ruo sit on the left of him, while Zhou Mengyao and Xia Ning sit on the right.

The two groups sit face to face.

The five people sit there. The host of the house Yi Xian doesn’t start eating or announce the dinner to begin. He silently sits there with a cold face.

It is so depressing that everyone feels as if they can’t breathe.

For tens of years, it is the first time for Yi Xian to behave in such an abnormal way. Zheng Yao feels very nervous. She wants to speak but she doesn’t dare to.

Yi Xian has pampered her for decades. She has never seen him so horrible.

After quite a while, Yi Xian says slowly, “During the dinner, I don’t want to hear any quarrels. If you have any disagreements, you may speak out before we start eating.”

Zhou Mengyao slightly lifts her lips. She smiles to say, “Nanny Huang cooks well. I simply come here to eat. I will leave after dinner.”

“Sister Zhou is rich. What kind of great cook can’t you hire? Why do you bother yourself to come here for dinner?” Zheng Yao responds emotionlessly.

Zhou Mengyao lifts her eyebrows, “Sister Zheng, I feel surprised that tens of years has passed while you still speak in such a disgusting tone. Xian has been tolerating you for so many years. He is really a good man.”

Zheng Yao widens her eyes, “Zhou Mengyao, you know nothing and you may not talk nonsense here.”

“Are you angry? Hahahaha…”

The two women talk and talk back, fighting with their mouths. The words sound as hostile as gun powder. Zhou Mengyao smiles and her eyes curve as a leopard cat’s may do. Zheng Yao is angry. She widens her eyes as if she wants to turn the table over.

However, Yi Xian looks calm. He doesn’t speak a word. Seemingly, he doesn’t plan to interfere in the argument.

Seeing this, Mei Ruo realizes in her heart that it is a bad situation.

In the past, every time when she came to the Yi Villa, though Zheng Yao spoke mean words, Yi Xian always defended her openly or secretly. Today, she surprisingly finds that Yi Xian doesn’t respond. He seems to give up controlling the course. Seemingly, the situation is disadvantageous to Zheng Yao!

Yi Xian is not partial to Zheng Yao. Then, she will be put in an awkward condition.

“Aunt Zheng, Aunt Zhou, shall we have dinner first? The dishes are getting cold. I think Uncle Yi must be hungry, too.”

Reminded by Mei Ruo, Zheng Yao swallows the words at the tip of her tongue. She glimpses the dismissiveness in Zhou Mengyao’s eyes and suddenly understands that she has fallen into the trap!”

What the tricky bitch wants is to make her quarrel with someone else in front of Yi Xian!

Zheng Yao takes a deep breath to calm herself down. She holds a pair of chopsticks to pick up a piece of bouilli for Yi Xian, “You had a busy day. Eat some meat to get some strengths back…”

Zheng Yao has not finished her words when Yi Xian has put that piece of meat back to her bowl, “You may eat it yourself.”

Zheng Yao feels stuck in her heart. She can’t speak a word for quite a while. She silently eats the food.

Zhou Mengyao smiles, “After having a lot of costly food, it is time to change the style. It’s summer now. Everyone has a bad appetite. I bring some Korean kimchi with me. Nanny Huang will serve it soon.”

Zhou Mengyao has just finished her words when Nanny Huang brings a dish with three types of famous Korean kimchi on it.

Nanny Huang puts down the kimchi. She doesn’t dare to look at Zheng Yao and turns to leave in a hurry.

“Nanny Huang, next time, if there are additional dishes, let me know first. Your master is in poor health. I wonder if he can digest this kind of fermented food! It looks unhealthy!”

Hearing this, Nanny Huang feels her heart tightened. She responds at once, “OK, Mrs. Yi. I see. Next time, if there are additional dishes, I will talk with you in advance…”

“What are you afraid of? Why is your voice trembling? I am not a tiger. Other people may think I am bullying you!” Zheng Yao says in displeasure.

“No. Mrs. Yi. It is hot. So…”

“Bang!”

Nanny has not finished her words when Yi Xian puts down the chopsticks heavily. He says, “Nanny Huang, it is fine here. You may leave for now.”

The master gets angry. Nanny Huang takes a cold breath. She bends her body and goes away.

Zheng Yao finds that her husband is angry. She is shocked to lose her arrogance by half. But when she sees the seeming smile on Zhou Mengyao’s face, she feels angry again with embarrassment. She lifts her chin and asks, “Why? Did I say it wrong? You are an old man. What if it makes your stomach sick? You can’t eat it. Let’s dump it.”

Zheng Yao puts down the bowl. She holds out her hand and wants to take the dish to dump.

Yi Xian darkens his face, “You want to ruin the thing you don’t like, don’t you?”

Zheng Yao hesitates. Her husband is implying something else.

Zheng Yao thinks for a while. She suddenly lifts to look at Xia Ning. The flame of unknown anger rises from her heart. She puts down the dish angrily and yells at Xia Ning, “You told on me, didn’t you? Well, Xia Ning, you are an evil daughter-in-law! How dare you tell on me to your father-in-law!”

“You shut up!” Yi Xian finally fails to control his patience. He turns to Zheng Yao, “You did the wrong thing. Why do you blame other people for it? No one ever told on you. You are overreacting!”

Zheng Yao feels confused, “What did I do? What harmful things did I ever do?”

Yi Xian screws his eyes and says word by word, “Are killing and setting fire kind of harmful?”

Zheng Yao feels shocked. She suddenly remembers what Yi Xian said to her just now. Then, she turns to stare fiercely at Xia Ning, as if she wants to swallow her alive.

Xia Ning is aware of the hatred in Zheng Yao’s eyes. She feels her heart ache. Sadness seems to spring up.

Her parents and her grandmother have passed away. After marrying Yi Yunrui, she has regarded Zheng Yao and Yi Xian as her family. During the years, though she was afraid of Zheng Yao, she regarded Zheng Yao as her mother. She is very concerned about family. To her, Zheng Yao has been her family for a long time.

Therefore, she feels very sad. She hears Zheng Yao’s words and feels as if she is sold and betrayed by her family. The pain goes deep into her marrow.

Xia Ning puts down the bowl and the chopsticks. She clenches her fists tightly.

So many people are present when Zheng Yao speaks such harsh words. Xia Ning can imagine what she is like in Zheng Yao’s opinion.

Since the situation can’t be changed within a short time and the misunderstanding has happened, she can’t but face it bravely!

Unless Yi Yunrui abandons her, no one can force her to leave him!

Thinking about this, Xia Ning freezes her eyes. She lifts to look at Zheng Yao, “Mom, nothing can be a secret unless it doesn’t happen. I know what you said to me just now was not only a warning. You are right. I have no family or relatives. I am a powerless woman. However, I am a human being. I have the right to love! Mom, to be honest, I won’t leave Yi Yunrui, because I love him and he loves me. If he abandons me, I will surely let him go and leave. However, I believe that Yi Yunrui will be very kind to me all his life. He loves me sincerely and I will try my best to be kind to him all my life.”

“I know that as a common woman, I can’t give him any help. As what you said, I may always bring troubles to him. However, for two people in love, who cares whether anyone of them brings troubles to the other? To be able to stay with the loved one, even a poor life in peace can be the happiest one. Many people simply can’t earn this kind of happiness! In the aspects of work and career, I admit that I am not comparable to Mei Ruo. But mom, wasn’t you belittling your son by saying so? I trust Rui. With his capability, he doesn’t need any woman to help him in his career at all!”

“Finally, I want say. If you really want to do anything to me, you may go ahead. Before I disappear, I won’t leave Rui. Mom, you are right. He has only one biological mother while he can have many wives. However, if you really do anything, you will leave a pain in Rui’s heart, which can never be wiped away. I don’t know how long you may need to make it up and fix the pain. I am only an unimportant woman to you. Do you think it is worth building the estrangement which may last years, even decades between your son and yourself in order to get rid of me? I am pretty sure that I am not so important in your heart. So, before you do anything, I hope you can think it over carefully!”

“What I have just said may sound like an excuse to you. You may think I am afraid of death. That is right. I am afraid of death. Who is not? However, what I am more afraid of is that Rui may get sad. Though I am not important, I am his wife. If I die, he will surely be sad for quite a long time. I wish him peace and happiness all his life. It is really unnecessary for him to be sad, heartbroken or ruined because of me. Well. That is all I want to say.”

Then, Xia Ning stands up. She bows to her father-in-law Yi Xian sincerely, “Dad, everyone is not happy because of me. I will criticize myself after I get home. I will try harder to improve myself. I may not have dinner here. I am leaving now.”

Xia Ning gets away from the table and turns to leave.

“Ning.”

She has just taken a few steps when she hears Yi Xian’s voice, “We have changed the lock here. This is the key. Take it with you.”
