Chapter 437 For the People I Love
“Yes, President Zhou. She has just left for a while. Ms. Xia said that she needed to do sothing in the company and she left very soon.” The guard replies honestly.
Zhou ngyao frowns tightly. As if she rembers sothing, she asks, “Excepts Ning, did anyone else co to the company in the last two hours?”
The guard thinks for a while and shakes his head, “No. There isn’t any till now.”
Zhou ngyao feels very surprised. Didn’t Jiang Yongran ask her to et here at three? Why hasn’t he showed up here yet?
Zhou ngyao glances at the watch and finds that it is two fifty in the early morning. She instinctively feels sothing wrong, but she thinks that there are still ten minutes to go. Jiang Yongran may be on the way here now.
Thinking about this, Zhou ngyao goes into the company.
She goes to her office in a hurry. She glimpses the letter on the desk. She takes it up to read at once. It is a letter to her from Xia Ning.
Zhou ngyao opens the envelope. She glances at the text and gives a helpless sigh, “You foolish kid, your concession will only bring fiercer attacks to you...
Wait. Ning has just left. Seemingly, she can’t have gone far away. Zhou ngyao puts down the envelope and calls Gu Luan.
“Director Gu, sorry to disturb you so late. I want to ask you for a favor.”
“President Zhou, as to the Tang Qieying issue, I am still investigating it. I believed I will figure it out soon. President Zhou, please don’t worry...”
“I believe your capability. However, I don’t call you for this issue.” Zhou ngyao hesitates for a little while, “Ning left the villa just now. I don’t know where she goes. If you have ti now, can you help to look for her?”
Hearing this, Gu Luan turns worried at once, “What? Ning is missing? President Zhou, do you know where she is?”
“I don’t know at present. But she left Junhao Group fifteen minutes ago. She left a letter for . She said that she didn’t want to bring trouble to and she was grateful to . Ah. The foolish kid...Director Gu, I have so ergency here and can’t leave at the mont. Would you please look for her first? Her phone is off now.”
“OK. I see. Keep in touch.” Then, Gu Luan hangs up.
Zhou ngyao puts down her phone. She frowns. She feels sothing stuck in her heart. She feels confused.
It doesn’t look like a coincidence. The whole event seems to be planned by soone in advance, including Ning’s leaving...
Zhou ngyao is thinking about it when the door of her office is knocked, “President Zhou, it is , Jiang Yongran.”
Zhou ngyao puts Xia Ning’s letter aside. She collects herself, “Co in, please.”
Jiang Yongran cos in with a gentle smile on his face. There is sothing else in his eyes. He looks very glad.
Zhou ngyao feels very confused, but she doesn’t show her emotions on her face. She slightly lifts her hand, “Yongran, have a seat.”
Jiang Yongran nods. He glances at Zhou ngyao, “President Zhou, sotis, I really envy you very much. Yes. I envy you. You are at this age while you still look like a young girl. If only I can look so young in the future.”
“Ha. Ha. Ha!” Zhou ngyao laughs, “I am favored by the god. You envy in vain.”
Jiang Yongran smiles to shake his head. He slightly collects himself and looks at Zhou ngyao, “President Zhou, I am here now. I may not beat around the bush. I ask you to et here because I want to show you sothing. Then, I have sothing important to discuss with you.”
“Oh?”
Jiang Yongran takes out a docunt from his pocket and passes it to Zhou ngyao, “President Zhou, you may read this first.”
Zhou ngyao takes it over. She hesitates for a little while and opens the docunt...
“Wait.” Jiang Yongran puts his hand on the docunt. He says, “President Zhou, before you read this docunt, I have a requirent. I hope that you read this docunt calmly. You have to stay calm so that we can discuss the important things later.”
Zhou ngyao feels a little confused. But she nods, “OK.”
Jiang Yongran removes his hand and Zhou ngyao reads the docunt. A few minutes later, Zhou ngyao changes her color! Then, she heavily passes the docunt back to Jiang Yongran. She asks angrily, “Jiang Yongran, what do you an?”
It is getting bright in the sky. Last night, after wandering around the streets, Xia Ning sat on a bench and stayed there for over two hours.
She looks at the sky and feels surprised.
How ti flies?
She hears a cry from her belly. Xia Ning feels sorry. She strokes her belly and says, “Baby, mommy is useless. I kept thinking about things and forgot to eat. I will go to eat sothing now. Baby, don’t worry...”
“You are pregnant. You should be careful.”
At the ti, an old but abnormally gentle voice is heard. Xia Ning turns around and sees an old man in grey hair standing beside her. The man looks quite old but his body is straight. The shape of his facial features and his blues eyes which look like two pieces of sapphire remind others that he was a very handso man when he was young.
He is a stranger. Xia Ning thought that she may be alert. But the old man looks elegant. He has got a noble air around him which doesn’t make people feel distant, but comfortable.
Xia Ning smiles at the old man. She nods, “Hum. It is a pity that I don’t have any experience on how to be a mother. The kid cos to . I feel sorry for him.”
The old man smiles, “Do you mind my sitting down beside you?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “No, I don’t mind.”
The old man sits down. He slightly screws his eyes to check on Xia Ning for quite a while.
Xia Ning feels uneasy to be looked at by him in this way. She moves backwards, “Sir...”
“You are Xia Ning, aren’t you?”
Xia Ning feels shocked to hear his words!
She wonders how can the man know her na.
“Don’t worry. Don’t worry.” The man smiles. He is going to say sothing more while at the ti a man in a black suit cos to him. Seemingly, he is a bodyguard. He passes a paper bag to the old man. The old man takes it over and the bodyguard goes away.
“Do you feel hungry? Co here. Have so food. Here are at porridge, stead stuffed buns and deep-fried dough sticks. All Chinese people like to have them as breakfast.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. She hesitates for a while and then holds out her hand to take the food over, “Sir, can you tell who you are?”
“Well...” The old man thinks for a while. Then he goes closer to Xia Ning and says mysteriously, “OK. I can tell you who I am. But, Ning, you have to promise that you won’t tell anyone else.”
Xia Ning nods, “Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone else.”
She is alone. Whom can she tell?
The old man looks at Xia Ning for another while. He looks kind and worried about Xia Ning. He says, “Well. My na is Davis Widdison.”
Xia Ning feels shocked to hear this!
Davis Widdison!
The senior Duke Davis Widdison?
The duke is aware of Xia Ning’s expression of disbelief. He shakes his head and says, “Ha. Kid, you feel unworried now? Co on. Have so breakfast.”
Xia Ning hasn’t collected from the shock. She looks at the food in her hand foolishly, “Duke, Why do you know ? Why do you buy breakfast for ?”
“Well. I just got off the plane. I was hungry, too. I had so food in the restaurant. Then, I saw you sit on the bench for quite a while. William stayed in China for quite so ti. He and you were good friends. So, I knew you.”
Oh. It is because of William. No wonder the duke knows her.
Xia Ning shily smiles, “Duke, sorry. I feel embarrassed that you see under this condition...”
“Never mind. Have so breakfast first. Your baby is hungry.”
Being reminded by the duke, Xia Ning nods. She opens the food and starts to eat.
The food is giving out steam and looks appetizing. Xia Ning starts to eat and realizes that she is really hungry. Soon, she finishes everything.
When she eats, the duke looks at her tenderly with a gentle smile on his face.
After she finishes the porridge, the bodyguard cos to them to take over the rubbish from Xia Ning and runs away.
“Kid, why do you co here alone? Where are your friends?”
Xia Ning feels sad. She purses her lips, “Duke, I am in trouble now. Those who stay with will be in danger. Duke, I know you are noble with high prestige. You are respectable in Britain. However, I am afraid that you will get in trouble if you stay with .”
“Oh? Will I?” The duke’s eyes gleam with surprise.
Xia Ning nods, “Duke, you have just got off the plane. You haven’t watched the news, have you?”
The duke hesitates for a while. He puts on a smile on his lips, “Do you an the news about Tang?”
Xia Ning feels surprised. The duke must an Tang Qieying by Tang. It ans that he has known the whole story.
“Hum. Duke, do you know what Miss Tang ans to Chinese people? This event happened. To be honest, I may need to wear a mask when I am in the street. If people recognize , I will be in great trouble.”
“Oh...It is really troubleso. Tang is a good woman, just like you. You are both precious which people may afraid to hurt even when they protect you in their hands.”
Xia Ning feels confused, wondering why the duke says these words.
“Ha. Ha. Ha!” The duke gently pats Xia Ning’s shoulder. He says slowly, “Ning, you may go ho. You are alone here in the street. Your family and your friends will be worried about you.”
“I know.” Xia Ning lowers her head, “But I am afraid that I may get them implicated...”
“It is not a matter of implication. Everyone has got a life to lead. To make concessions or escape will only make people who care about you suffer more. To them, what you do is irresponsible.”
Xia Ning feels her heart twitched when she hears his words.
The duke gives a sigh, “Annie has left for a long ti. It is so long a ti that it seems to be endless to now. Most of the ti, I ask myself why I didn’t die with her. Why I am still living in the world...”
“Duke...”
The duke raises his hand, “Kid, don’t worry. Actually, I have figured it out: because there are still people whom I care about. Because of them, I have to go on with my life.”
Looking at the tender stare of the duke, Xia Ning feels as if a warm wind blows across on the lake of her heart. She purses her lips and clenches her fists tightly.
