Chapter 462 The Biological Uncle
Get to... the bottom of his tolerance...
Xia Ning is silent. Zheng Yao has always been hard on her, but she sincerely doesn’t want Yi Xian to divorce Zheng Yao.
They are families and famalies maybe quarrel, but not divorce.
They find Xia Ning silent. Dai Zhen and the other generals go to comfort her for a while. In order to transfer her attention, Dai Zhen who was never talkative before mentions the history of himself. The generals also try their best to amuse Xia Ning.
Xia Ning understands the kindness of the generals. Therefore, though she is worried, she doesn’t show her anxiety to them. She tries her best to make herself look natural.
However, how can Dai Zhen not understand what his niece thinks.
Therefore, he deliberately tells Steward Zhou to prepare more dishes for supper. Then, he called his daughter-in-law Li Baoer and asks her to come to accompany Xia Ning.
Both of them are pregnant. They are in similar age and are friends of years. Li Baoer can do it better than all the four grandpas.
It is a little tense inside the car. Yi Xian’s face is grey with anger. They have been in the car for forty minutes and Yi Xian hasn’t spoken a word.
In front of the Bureau of Civil Affairs, Zhen Yao feels her heart jump to her throat. They have been married for tens of years. Are they really going to divorce at this old age?
“Xian.” Zheng Yao hesitates for a while and speaks, “Please don’t be angry with me. It is my fault. Please forgive me and go home with me. Will you?”
“Get off!” Yi Xian says in a cold voice and he opens the door to get off the car directly himself.
Yi Yunyi and Yi Yunrui are standing by the gate. But Mei Ruo who followed them is missing.
“No!” Zheng Yao draws his husband. She refuses to get off the car, “Xian, I know I am wrong! How many times do you want me to repeat it? We have been married for so many years. Do you really want to divorce me?”
“Yes!” Yi Xian responds decisively.
Zheng Yao feels stuck. She knows her husband very well. In the past tens of years, Yi Xian was always tolerant of her and defended her. However, after all, Yi Xian is an army man, a decisive army man. When he really makes the decision, he never changes his mind.
“Yi, Rui, what are you standing there for? Come to speak for your mother!” Zheng Yao realizes that she can’t convince her husband. She turns to ask for help from her sons.
Yi Yunrui doesn’t reply, so she glances at his elder brother Yi Yunyi. Yi Yunyi thinks for a while. His mother was too unscrupulous recently. If he helps her to ask his father for mercy, they will have a lot to suffer in the future when she acts recklessly again.
Because of his mother’s interference, his eldest brother and younger brother seldom came home during the last ten years or so. Yi Yunyi is the gentlest one. However, Ruoruo felt wronged because of Zheng Yao, too. Ruoruo is tougher than Xia Ning in personality. After they get married, there must be a mess between the relation between Ruoruo and his mother. His mother may use the strategy of TV or report again. If so, there really won’t be any peace to be expected in the family.
As it is said, conflicts inside the family should not be spread outside. What his mother did previously has caused serious influence to his work. Quite some people gossip and make fun of him behind. Some people also set traps for him. He feels really annoyed about the situation.
Just now, he called his eldest brother. But his eldest brother even didn’t want to come. Instead, he said, “We may leave the problem for our parents to deal with by themselves. I am quite busy.”
Therefore, Yi Yunyi gives a sigh. He turns to his mother, “Mom, we are not unwilling to help you. However, we don’t know how to help you. You may ask what my father wants.”
Reminded by Yi Yunyi, Zheng Yao forcefully draws her husband back to the car and closes the door of it.
“Xian, tell me. What can I do to make you not divorce me?”
Yi Xian looks at her quietly. He purses his mouth but says nothing.
Zheng Yao is aware of the anger in the deep of her husband’s eyes. She feels very nervous. She slightly lowers her head and says, “Is it because of what I did to Xia Ning? I can apologize to her.”
“Only apologize?”
Hearing this, Zheng Yao brightens her eyes. Her husband speaks. It means she still has some chances.
“What do you want me to do? I am her senior. Do you want me to kneel down to cry and beg for her forgiveness?”
Yi Xian’s eyes gleam sharply, “There are three conditions. Listen to me carefully! If you fail, we will divorce at once!”
Zheng Yao feels glad, she nods, “As long as you don’t divorce me. I would love to agree about ten conditions, not to mention three...”
“You don’t be glad too soon. Listen carefully.” Yi Xian says seriously, “First, as to what you did to Ning, you have to openly apologize to her. You may think about how to do it. But you have to make sure that you don’t do it perfunctorily. Everyone will be looking at you. Second, you can’t interfere in the marriages of our three sons. You are not to bully our daughters-in-law. You may only perform as a nice mother-in-law! Third, you will have a probation of half a year. Within the six months, you have to perform well as the hostess of the Yi family. If you cause any problems again, we will divorce and become strangers in the future.”
Yi Xian hesitates for a while. He stares at Zheng Yao, “You are given five minutes to think about it. Then, you may sigh a guarantee.”
“Guarantee?” Zheng Yao feels shocked, “Xian, we are not young any longer. Do we have to do it so officially...”
“Get off the car. Let’s go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs!”
“No. No. No!” Zheng Yao turns anxious. She tightly draws her husband, “I agree. I agree with everything. Xian, please don’t be angry. I agree with all the conditions you mentioned.”
Yi Xian takes out a document and passes it to Zheng Yao, “You may read it word by word carefully. Don’t ever think that I won’t divorce you if you don’t sign. If I want to leave, no one can find me.”
Zheng Yao takes a cold breath. She doesn’t read the guarantee at all. Instead, she signs it at once. Then, she passes it to Yi Xian, “Darling, is it OK now?”
When he hears the words Darling, Yi Xian slightly frowns. He puts the guarantee aside and doesn’t speak a word.
Zheng Yao holds her hands. She restrains the anger inside herself. The three condition are hard for her, especially the one that she is to openly apologize to Xia Ning... God. She is the hostess of Yi family. How can a mother-in-law apologize to her daughter-in-law? Let alone doing that openly...
“Do you think the three conditions are hard for you?” Yi Xian asks dismissively.
“No. No. I don’t.” No matter how displeased she feels in her heart, when she thinks that her husband is going to leave her, Zheng Yao turns as obedient as a kitten at once.
Yi Xian thinks for a while and asks, “Over twenty years ago, you kicked Xian Ning’s family away from B City. Are you afraid that Ning will take her revenge?”
Zheng Yao nods.
Yi Xian smiles, “If Ning really had wanted to take her revenge, Rui wouldn’t have had such a happy life. Even if Ning has some intentional plans, as parents, we should feel satisfied when we see our sons have a happy life. Sometimes, ignorance will be favorable. We may turn a blind eye to something and carry on our life. Life will be hard for those who are too serious and nervous. In addition, we did something wrong to Xia Ning’s family first. The young people don’t bother us with the history while as the seniors, we can’t get it over. Yao, you may have less contact with Mei Ruo in the future. You have to figure out who is really malicious.”
Zheng Yao widens her eyes. Her husband means that Mei Ruo... In an instant, Zheng Yao is reminded of all those what Mei Ruo has done. The more she remembers, the more she feels suspicious of Mei Ruo...
“As to the issue about Zhou Mengyao, I will explain to you later.” Yi Xian sees Zheng Yao open her mouth. He sticks out his index finger, “We will talk about that later. Don’t forget. You have to pass a probation of half a year!”
It is in the Dai’s Mansion.
“Ning!” Li Baoer sees Xia Ning, she cries happily and runs to hug her, “Ning, we finally meet. I was worried about you!”
Ever since the death of Zhou Mengyao, during the last over ten days, she was worried about Xia Ning. The TV reports said that Xia Ning was a murderer and had conflicts with her family. She was even said to set traps to hurt Tang Qieying. Li Baoer didn’t believe that. Her friend Ning was not that kind of person!
Li Baoer hugs Xia Ning tightly. She has been pregnant for three months and her belly is obviously raised. Xia Ning gently pats her back and says, “Don’t worry. I am fine. Don’t you see that I am all right here? Well. But you. Look, your belly is raised. You have to be careful when you walk. Don’t be so careless.”
“Mom, Sister Xia is right.” Zhenzhen comes in. she puts down the backpack, “Sister Xia, you don’t know how emotional my mom is. In the last second, she was smiling；while in the next second, she will be crying for no reasons. She seems to be blink when she walks. You don’t know how worried I can feel when I am with her!”
Xia Ning smiles to shake her head, “Well. Baoer, you are going to be a mother. You need to have Zhenzhen take care of you. Don’t you feel shy?”
“I also want to take care of her.” Li Baoer says helplessly, “I really do. However, Ning, you don’t know how smart the girl is. I am not as clever as she. Oh...”
Li Baoer has not finished her words when she covers her mouth and rushes to the toilet. Then, she is heard vomit.
Zhenzhen goes to her at once and practically takes care of her.
After a while, Zhenzhen supports Li Baoer to come out. She pours a cup of warm water for Li Baoer. Li Baoer drinks some water. She sighs, “Ah, the vomit of two months almost kills me. Ning, I really envy you. You don’t seem to have this problem.”
When Li Baoer is speaking, Zhenzhen takes out some plums and puts them in Li Baoer’s hand. Xia Ning finds that those in the backpack are all food. There are so many kinds of them that they can definitely meet all the demands of a pregnant woman.
Xia Ning feels surprised, “Don’t tell me that all the food in the backpack is prepared by Zhenzhen for you!”
Li Baoer eats the plums. She holds Zhenzhen into her embrace, “Bingo! I don’t know how does she know these. I even suspect that she has this kind of experience... Ha. Ha!”
Zhenzhen rolls her eyes at Li Baoer, “Are you showing off your advantages? I promised dad that I would take good care of you. Or, if dad knows you are so miserable now, he will feel heart-brokenly worried about you.”
Zhenzhen said that it was all because of her father. However, everyone can figure out that her care about Li Baoer is sincere.
Li Baoer surely knows that Zhenzhen isn’t telling the truth. The girl grows up. She doesn’t show some of her thoughts innocently as she did when she was a little kid.
At this time, Steward Zhou brings some cups of warm milk to them. He says, “Ms. Baoer, Ms. Ning, Miss Zhenzhen, Mr. Dai says that you three don’t need to go downstairs for supper. You may have it in the bedroom. He is going to catch up with his old comrades-in-arms and may drink with them.”
Xia Ning nods, “OK. Thank you, Uncle Zhou.”
Steward Zhou puts down the things. He looks at Xia Ning. He opens his mouth but swallows his words at the tip of his tongue, “It is my pleasure. If you need anything, you may call me anytime. Well... Miss, the flowers in the garden are open. They are fragrant. You may have a walk around the garden after supper.”
