Chapter 353 A Sudden Arrangent
Zhou ngyao tells the history of Yi Xian and her in a casual voice. She even wears a mild smile. However, Xia Ning understands that the truth can’t be so simple.
“I co back to the country this ti mainly to et my old friends. I heard Yi Xian ntion you. So, I am very interested in you. It was a coincidence that you were also in the hospital last ti. Therefore, I went to see you.”
Xia Ning feels a little shy, “I am very lazy and unambitious. I seldom impress other people. I feel really shy about it.”
Zhou ngyao puts down the coffee. She feels confused, “Why do you describe yourself in this way? Yi Xian gave you a lot of complints. He said that you were a very nice daughter-in-law.”
Xia Ning feels surprised, “Seriously?”
“You silly girl.” Zhou ngyao pats on her hand, “I know you have so conflicts with your mother-in-law, Zheng Yao. However, don’t depreciate yourself. All the n of the Yi family are aweso. I believe in the judgent of the third son of the family. I also know so things about you. At least, you are much politer than those girls from noble families. What is more important is that,” Zhou ngyao lowers her voice, “You can withstand the bad temper of Zheng Yao.”
If she were another girl from so noble family, there would be battles against Zheng Yao.
Having such an obedient daughter-in-law, Zheng Yao should feel lucky. Zhou ngyao really can’t understand Zheng Yao, she has got everything, why doesn’t she feel satisfied?”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes, “Zheng Yao is my mother-in-law, the mother of my husband. I don’t want to confront her or put Rui in difficulty. Actually, Aunt Zhou, I am not as good as you think. I am not always obedient.”
“That’s absolutely correct! You are the wife of Rui, not a servant of Zheng Yao. Why should you obey her in everything? As long as you are happy with Rui, don’t care about other annoyances!” Zhou ngyao drinks so coffee and says slowly, “If Junhao cared about my identity in the past, I wouldn’t marry him. I am very grateful to him for giving over ten years of happy ti.”
Xia Ning listens quietly. Suddenly, she realizes that happiness is very simple. That is two persons staying together, knowing each other, loving each other and taking care of each other. A lifeti passes fast like an instant.
“Ning, you are a kind and considerate kid. Don’t mind what other people say. You may only keep it in mind that you are going to lead a happy life with your husband. Unless you have no other choices, don’t ever give up.”
Xia Ning nods. To give up Yi Yunrui? She is not willing to do that. Thinking of the scene that he stayed in the locked-up room, she feels her heart so painful that she can hardly breathe.
“Aunt Zhou, unless Rui doesn’t want , I will never let go of him.”
At the ti, Xia Ning’s phone rings. She finds that it is Gu Ruoruo.
“Excuse , I need to answer the phone call.” Xia Ning says and presses the answer button, “Ruoruo, what’s up?”
“Sister Xia, there is an urgent case. It is about the important exclusive interview tonight. However, the reporter arranged to it had a car accident and was sent to the hospital. I can’t find the appropriate reporter for it at one ti. Sister Xia, that client cos back from Japan. He is quite a big shot. Not every of our reporters can deal with him. Can you figure it out?”
Xia Ning frowns. She glances at the ti, “What ti is the interview arranged at?”
“At eight in the evening.”
It is four. There are still four hours before eight. If she starts to get prepared now, there won’t be any problems in the exclusive interview.
“Send the information of the client to . I am coming back. As to the injured reporter, Ruoruo, please take good care of it.”
“OK. Sister Xia.” Gu Ruoruo seems to rember sothing. She cries, “Wait. Sister Xia, I need to remind you one thing. The client seems to have so connection with an illegal society in Japan. Are you afraid of that?”
Xia Ning laughs, “That’s silly. All big shots know so people from the illegal society. It is nothing serious. Well. That is all. I am coming back now.”
Then, Xia Ning hangs up.
When she hangs up the phone, she turns to Zhou ngyao. And she suddenly realizes that she is with Zhou ngyao. If she leaves her alone, it is very impolite.
“Aunt Zhou, I am sorry. My assistant just called . I have so urgent cases to deal with. Aunt Zhou, do you mind coming for coffee so day later?”
“You are busy. You may go back for now. You don’t need to apologize for that. Anyway, I have plenty of ti. But I am leaving for B City soon. I have an appointnt with your father-in-law, Yi Xian.”
Xia Ning feels confused. Her mother-in-law is here, while Zhou ngyao is going to B City...That sounds strange.
Zhou ngyao is aware of Xia Ning’s confusion. She says in a low voice, “Ning, you may pretend that you know nothing about it. I will ask Yi Xian to tell Zheng Yao to go ho.”
Xia Ning widens her eyes. She wonders how can Zhou ngyao know that Zheng Yao ca to her house.
Wait. Zheng Yao told her to prepare ten dishes and a soup. Seemingly, it is impossible for her to finish them. If she calls to tell Zheng Yao, she will definitely be scolded by Zheng Yao. Well, she may just send her a ssage for it.
However, she is afraid that Zheng Yao may act as she did last ti. She may call to scold her again and again. That will be too bad.
Aunt Zhou waves at the waiter and gets ready to pay the bill. At the ti, the waiter sends her a blue rose with a golden card.
“Madams, my boss says, it is in the house. He hopes you will co again.”
Zhou ngyao hesitates for a while. She smiles, “OK. I see. Please tell Uncle Tian that I will co often.”
“OK. Thank you for coming.”
When Uncle Tian is ntioned, Xia Ning realizes that this Uncle Tian must know that Zhou ngyao and she are having coffee here. Why doesn’t he co to see Zhou ngyao? Hasn’t he looked forward to that for a long ti?
They go out of the coffee shop. The ti is tight. Zhou ngyao drives Xia Ning back to the dia Building. When she stops the car, Zhou ngyao asks mysteriously, “Do you like my car?”
Xia Ning smiles, “Yes, of course.”
She believes that most girls like Ferrari cars, especially the model Aunt Zhou is driving, which is really shockingly cool.
“OK. I see.”
Xia Ning goes back to her office. There are so files on her desk already. Gu Ruoruo sees her. She says at once, “Sister Xia, all the files are here on the desk. I also send a copy to your email. You may check it. If you have any questions, please let know.”
“OK. Thank you, Ruoruo.” Xia Ning sits down and opens the file.
Wang Baoliang, male, is forty years old. He used to be the boss of Wulian Company in Japan and also the leader of the Team White Tiger in Yamaguchi-gumi.
Xia Ning reads this and her pupils freeze at once!
Yamaguchi-gumi.
That is the biggest gang in Japan!
Wait. Wang Baoliang was very successful in Japan. Why does he co back to China? He is forty years old. That is quite young.
“Ruoruo, do you know why Wang Baoliang cos back to China?”
“Wang Baoliang took the initiative to contact us. He also initiatively called the reporter for his interview. That reporter kept in touch with him all the ti. However, he ntioned once that the case of Wang Baoliang seed to be a little mysterious. He hesitates for quite a while himself before making the decision. Then, he had an accident.” Gu Ruoruo hesitates for a while, “Sister Xia, the case doesn’t seem right. Shall we cancel the interview?”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Since we have agreed to do it, we have to do it. World Era Weekly has confronted a lot of drug traffickers and bullies. However, we have never called off any appointnts. Ruoruo, don’t worry. I will figure it out. You may go out to work.”
Gu Ruoruo is still a little worried, “Anyway, Sister Xia, be careful.”
Gu Ruoruo turns to leave. Xia Ning puts down the file. Instinctively, she feels sothing wrong in the case.
The reporter had an accident at this point of ti...It doesn’t seem to be a coincidence.
Thinking about this, she touches her bracelet and the ring and the costic box in her handbag. She will go for the exclusive interview on her own. If anything dangerous happens to her, these weapons should be helpful for her in protection.
Anyway, Rui hasn’t co back. She can’t get herself hurt.
Thinking about this, she takes out her phone and calls Zhang Hai.
“Zhang Hai, I have an appointnt at eight in the evening. Please go to the Ming Dian coffee shop at eight twenty. Well, do you know anything about Wang Baoliang?”
Zhang Hai thinks for a while, “I heard about him. He was a mber of Yamaguchi-gumi. The boss liked him very much. I heard that he ca back to China recently.”
“Yes. The person I am going to interview tonight is him.”
Zhang Hai is shocked, “Mrs. Yi, Wang Baoliang is a dangerous man. You’d better cancel the interview.”
“It is a matter of credibility to the company. I can’t cancel it. And Wang Baoliang took the initiative to contact us. That must because he believed in World Era Weekly. I think he may want to ask for a favor from World Era Weekly. Based on this, I have to go for the interview. Zhang Hai, if you can be there at eight twenty, everything will be safe.”
Zhang Hai thinks for a while and responds, “OK. Mrs. Yi, I will follow your arrangent.”
After giving so instructions, Xia Ning hangs up the phone. She looks at the pile of files on the desk, feeling that it won’t make any difference whether she reads them or not.”
If Wang Baoliang really wants to ask for help from the World Era Weekly...
However, about the supper...Xia Ning rembers it and feels her head aches. Zheng Yao has said that Xia Ning is not allowed to take her work at the company as an excuse. However, it is an urgent case instead of an excuse.
If she lies, Zheng Yao will surely find it out. i Ruo will also know the truth, let alone Zheng Yao.
Xia Ning thinks for a while and decides that she shall tell the truth. She takes out her phone and sends a ssage to Zheng Yao: “Mom, the reporter for the interview this evening had a car accident. It is urgent. I will have to go to the interview instead. I can’t go ho to prepare supper. I am sorry.”
After finishing typing the text, Xia Ning hesitates for quite another while and then presses the Send button.
Xia Ning feels her heart hung up.
Unsurprisingly, Zheng Yao calls her very soon.
Xia Ning looks at the number on the screen. She takes a deep breath, getting ntally prepared for being scolded.
She presses the answer button forcefully. She hasn’t spoken anything when Zheng Yao has started, “Xia Ning, didn’t you hear what I said before?”
“Mom, please don’t be angry. I know. But this is a special case. That reporter is lying in bed. We can’t break the appointnt with the client...”
“Don’t you lecture on ! I don’t care what happens in your company. You should handle it yourself! If...” When Zheng Yao is speaking, her phone alerts her the calling of another number. When she sees the number, she turns pale at once.
