Chapter 431 The Storm Is Approaching
Xia Ning hears Zhou ngyao ntion Gu Luan. She feels her heart tightened. What happened so days ago pops up in her brain.
Xia Ning grits her teeth. She takes up the warm milk from the servant for a mouthful and says, “I have to tell Rui about that.”
Zhou ngyao lifts her eyebrows, admiring Xia Ning’s reaction in her heart.
When sothing like that happens, most won will choose to hide it or cover it up with whatever they can. But Xia Ning reacts to it directly. The event can’t be hidden. If she doesn’t take any initiative reactions, when Yi Yunrui finds it out, she will be put in a passive position.
“What about Gu Luan? How do you like to deal with him? Ning, you may tell your decision. I will help you to totally get rid of him.”
Xia Ning darkens her eyes. Gu Luan has a powerful background. Anything done to him will bring great influence. Now, Yi Yunrui hasn’t finished dealing with his case. It is unsuitable for her to bring any other changes to him.
Even though she is really unhappy.
“Aunt Zhou, Thank you. But I don’t know much about strategies. I may discuss it after Rui cos back. I am afraid that I may bring any trouble to him.”
Zhou ngyao smiles, “You silly. You surely know. But you choose not to tell. You know everything. In my opinion, you may feel easy to do what you want to do in the future. You are like an uncut jade. You will make brilliant achievents.”
Xia Ning is destined to stand in the focus. But she is not aware of it at present.
Xia Ning feels shy. She smiles, “Aunt Zhou, maybe you are right. However, it must take a lot of ti and patience to make the uncut stone into a real jade.”
“It is all right, I have enough patience.” Saying this, Zhou ngyao holds Xia Ning’s hand, “Ning, I suddenly have an idea. May I speak it out?”
“Aunt Zhou, please go ahead.”
Zhou ngyao stares at Xia Ning for quite a while, “I want to adopt you to be my daughter. I an in the legal way.”
Xia Ning feels surprised to hear her words, “Well...Well. Aunt Zhou, that’s way above my station.”
“What are you saying?” Zhou ngyao gently pats her hand, “Actually, it is my honor. I am serious. I want very much to have a daughter. When I am old, I will have soone to talk and chat with . I hope you don’t feel annoyed with .”
Xia Ning hesitates. As a matter of fact, Aunt Zhou is so kind to her. There are totally no problems for her to have Aunt Zhou as her godmother. She likes Aunt Zhou very much. She feels as if Aunt Zhou is a family of her.
But there are conflicts and misunderstandings between Aunt Zhou and her mother-in-law. If Aunt Zhou legally adopts her, her mother-in-law will surely fly into a rage.
Zhou ngyao is aware of Xia Ning’s hesitation. She can guess the reasons. She says, “Don’t worry. It is not urgent. Ning, you may think about it. I will wait for your response.”
At the ti, Zhou ngyao’s phone rings. She glances at the number and freezes her eyes. She lifts to smile at Xia Ning, “Ning, I have sothing to deal with. You may have a rest. Let know if you need anything.”
Xia Ning nods, “Aunt Zhou, OK.”
Zheng ngyao goes out of the room hurriedly. She turns to go into a room equipped with a muffler and presses the answer button.
“You’ve got a wife here. Why do you call instead of her?”
“Aunt Zhou, I want to ask you for a favor.” The voice at the other end sounds deep and magnetic. It is Yi Yunrui.
Zhou ngyao’s eyes gleam. There’s sothing unusual in Yi Yunrui’s tone. Zhou ngyao has an ominous feeling.
“Go ahead.”
“I can’t go back very soon. During the ti, please help to take care of Ning. It is a little urgent here. I have talked with the military departnt. You may tell Zhang Hai if you need to have so people there.”
Hearing this, Zhou ngyao frowns. Need to ask for help from the military departnt? Seemingly, there is going to be sothing abnormal!
“OK. I will try my best to protect Ning. But, Rui, Ning is waiting for you to co back. You have to take good care of yourself. Be safe! Or, even I will be angry with you!”
Yi Yunrui gently smiles, “I see. Aunt Zhou, don’t worry. I will co back safely. Thank you for everything during the ti.”
Then, hurriedly, Yi Yunrui hangs up the phone.
Zhou ngyao puts the phone aside. Her face darkens.
It is rarely necessary to get the army involved, unless there is a risk of losing lives...
Thinking about this, Zhou ngyao freezes her eyes. She purses her lips and makes up her mind.
It is getting dark. The night cos to cover the ground. Everywhere is in darkness.
Not far away, there are black clouds. Lightning flashes. A storm is approaching...
The next day.
It is in the dia Building of World Era Weekly.
“Director Gu, President Zhou of Junhao Group wants to et you. She is waiting outside.” Zhou cos in hurriedly. He looks anxious.
Gu Luan puts down the files in his hand. As if he is thinking about sothing, he responds, “Hum. Invite president Zhou to co in.”
Zhou purses his lips. He hesitates, “Director, President Zhou is not alone...”
“I see. Ask her to co in. Don’t make her wait outside. It is impolite.”
“Yes...”
Soon, Zhou ngyao cos in the director office, followed by two bodyguards. Zhou glances at Gu Luan. Gu Luan winks at him and he leaves worriedly.
“President Zhou...”
“Director Gu.” Not waiting for Gu Luan to finish his words, Zhou ngyao waves her hand to interrupt, “We may not beat around the bush. Let’s go to the point. So days ago, Ning was injured because of you. Am I right?”
“Yes. Ning was injured because of . President Zhou, do you co to find justice for her?”
Zhou ngyao sits down. She puts down her handbag on the desk, “Surely we will get the justice, but not now.”
Gu Luan doesn’t understand Zhou ngyao’s aning. He asks confusedly, “President Zhou, then why do you co here?”
“Ning is pregnant. Do you know?”
When this issue is ntioned, Xia Ning feels heartache. He nods.
Zhou ngyao gives a sigh. She says seriously, “Director Gu, I know you like Xia Ning very much. You have the freedom to love. However, I don’t agree with you on the thods you used. Today, I am not coming to criticize you or give you any lectures. I want to negotiate with you about sothing.”
“Negotiate?” Gu Luan wonders why negotiation needs to go on with bodyguards here.
Zhou ngyao is aware of Gu Luan’s confusion. She frankly says, “I received a call from Yi Yunrui last evening. He told that it was tense over there and he couldn’t take care of the situation in C City. Then, he asked to take good care of Ning. He said that if it was necessary, I could ask for help from the army.”
Zhou ngyao deliberately pauses here to inspect Gu Luan’s reactions.
Gu Luan listens carefully. When he hears the word Army, he changes his face! He anxiously asks, “Does anything serious happen? I an, anything about Ning?”
Unsurprisingly, Gu Luan is very concerned about Ning. He likes Ning keenly, too.
“Temporarily, I am not clear. Rui didn’t say. But in my opinion, I may not be able to find out the truth by myself.” Zhou ngyao gets closer to Gu Luan when she says, “Director Gu, you are the most well-inford person. Can you give a hand in that?”
“Sure!” Without any hesitation, Gu Luan nods to agree.
“Then, thank you.” Zhou ngyao suddenly changes the topic, “Well. I have to remind you. I know what you did to Ning. I am seriously warning you. If you ever dare to do it again, I won’t have any rcy on you. Director Gu, I know your background. However, you also need to know. I seldom do anything to other people, but if I do, no one can help you at all.”
Gu Luan darkens his eyes. He looks at Zhou ngyao into her eyes. The air around slls like gunpowder.
After quite a while, Gu Luan slowly says, “I will be responsible for what I have done. President Zhou, soone has already told the words you said. I am very clear about the consequences. President Zhou, you don’t need to remind of that.”
Zhou ngyao lifts her eyebrows, “Good. It is great to talk with a clever man and I don’t need to make unnecessary explanations. That is all I want to say. The most important thing at present is that when Yi Yunrui is away, we take good care of Ning. If you find out any information or know any actions, please ensure to inform at once.”
It is Yi Yunrui again!
Gu Luan grits his teeth and nods.
When Zhou ngyao cos back to her villa, Zhang Hai is standing outside the door with a few army vehicles behind. Zhang Hai sees Zhou ngyao. He goes to her at once, “President Zhou, I bring these soldiers here. There are more to co soon. If you agree, I may ask them to go inside.”
There are already three vehicles here and there are more to co. Zhou ngyao nods, “Zhang Hai, it’d better not let Ning know anything. I suggest that we may arrange the protection outside the house only. Even if it is necessary, I hope they can change their clothes. Ning is pregnant. I don’t want to scare her.”
Zhang Hai thinks for a while. He agrees. He nods, “We will do as you say.”
Zhou ngyao’s villa is large. There are many soldiers standing around it. So soldiers change their clothes. They pretend to be servants and enter the villa.
“Ning.” Zhou ngyao goes into Xia Ning’s room. She smiles, “I hire so people today to do the cleaning of the villa. It may be a little noisy these days. Do you mind?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “Aunt Zhou, you don’t need to worry about . You may go ahead with anything as you like.”
Zhou ngyao nods. She is just going to speak sothing else when the steward cos to her nervously, “Madam.” He glances at Xia Ning and goes to whisper by Zhou ngyao’s ear.
Zhou ngyao freezes her face at once!
