Xia Ning turns off her phone and doesn’t watch TV or turn on the computer. She stays inside the room all day long. However, Li Baoer comes to visit her the next day.
When she meets Xia Ning, Li Baoer cries sadly, “My poor Ning!” She rushes to hug Xia Ning.
Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows. She realizes that pregnant women are really emotional.
“Ning, why didn’t you tell me that you were pregnant? I was wondering why you disappeared recently. It turns out that you are having a rest because of pregnancy.” Li Baoer puts Xia Ning’s hand on her belly which is a little raised, “I got pregnant one month earlier than you. You may touch my belly. Well. Ning, we really have a bonding between us. We even get pregnant at similar times.”
Xia Ning smiles to stroke Li Baoer’s belly, “You are right. We really have a bonding.”
Li Baoer suddenly remembers something. She says, “Ning, shall we plan the marriage for our babies?”
Xia Ning hesitates for a little while, “If they get along well with each other, they will get married even though we don’t plan it. But we don’t know the genders of them. If they are both boys or girls, then…”
“That is simple. If they are both boys, they will become brothers. If they are both girls, they will become sisters. Ha. Ha.”
Xia Ning laughs, too. Yes. It is right.
But after a while, Li Baoer suddenly turns sad. She holds Xia Ning, “How can your mother-in-law be so vicious? After all, you are her daughter-in-law! How could she humiliate her own family!”
Xia Ning’s eyes slightly darken. Maybe, Zheng Yao has never regarded her as a family.
“Well. It turns out that you knew Commander Yi a long time ago. That is surprising! No wonder that you would get married all of a sudden! You were acquaintances at that time.”
“Baoer, that is not true. I was seriously injured when I was a kid. I can’t remember anything happened in the past. So, I still can’t recall the event my mother-in-law mentioned. However, I know it is not like that. There must be something else happening.”
Li Baoer blinks her eyes, “I think so, too. You can’t remember anything. Zheng Yao told the whole story. If it is all from her narration, the story is unreliable. Therefore, there couldn’t be any seduction issue. In addition, how can a kid be so tricky? Anyway, I don’t believe her.”
Xia Ning smiles, “My mother-in-law was worried about her son…”
“She was worried about her son? Well. I am worried about you!” Li Baoer says angrily, “Ning, though your family passed away, if they knew that you were wronged, they would feel very sad.”
Xia Ning lowers her head and doesn’t respond.
Li Baoer finds no responses from Xia Ning. She says, “Ning, do you just keep silent and allow your mother-in-law to do the nonsense?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “There are a lot of noises on the internet. It is not a good time for me to take any reactions. I may wait for some time when the news becomes less hot and then fight back.”
Li Baoer slightly frowns. She seems to understand but not clearly, “You may be right. But I feel very angry when I find people scolding you. If Zhenzhen had not stopped me, I would have smashed the computer.”
Xia Ning smiles, “I am the victim and I am not angry. You don’t need to be angry. Anger can’t help me figure anything out.”
Li Baoer purses her lips. She quietly looks at Xia Ning and gives a sigh, “My Ning grows up.”
Xia Ning gently smiles, “You, too. Both of us are going to become mothers. We can’t be impulsive no matter what may happen to us in the future.”
Li Baoer’s eyes gleam happily. She strokes her belly and says sentimentally, “In the past, I often thought that if only I could marry a rich husband and get into a powerful family. Now, I have got what I wanted. My husband is a nice man, but I have to bear more other things than other women. When I see you now, I often wonder that if you had married to a common man and had a normal life, would you be happier?”
Xia Ning’s eyes flash. A common man and a normal life?
But she met Yi Yunrui!
Without Yi Yunrui, how can she be happy?
In the past, she didn’t really love anyone. After she met Yi Yunrui, she finally knew what was wife and husband and what was home. They are some things that you will never want to give up once you meet and get it.
No matter how many times she may be given to choosing again, she will choose to stay with Yi Yunrui!
Thinking about this, Xia Ning freezes her eyes. She holds Li Baoer’s hand more tightly, “Baoer, if you can choose, will you choose a space-time continuum without Colonel Dai?”
Hearing this, Li Baoer stares. She decisively says, “That’s totally impossible! Zhongheng is mine, no matter which space-time continuum he is in!”
Considering that there are many reporters outside, Li Baoer stays late at Zhou Mengyao’s house. When she leaves, she goes out from the back door.
Before Li Baoer leaves, Xia Ning reminds her not to come often to avoid being disturbed by the reporters. Based on Li Baoer’s personality, Xia Ning doesn’t know what surprising things she will do.
It is in the Dai’s Mansion.
Dai Zhen watches the report on the TV. He freezes his face which looks grey.
The steward beside him is aware of his uneasiness. He asks, “Sir, the entertainment reports are all sensational. You may not mind that.”
Hearing this, Dai Zhen’s face looks greyer. He heavily puts down the teacup on the table. It bangs and the tea sprays out.
The steward feels shocked to see that! Mr. Dai is not talkative, but he seldom loses his temper. This report makes him so angry. Seemingly, it is something abnormally serious.
Dai Zhen clenches his fists. The flame of anger comes out from the deep of his eyes. He makes a decision in his heart.
It has been over twenty years. It is time to tell the truth. What happened in the last generation should not influence the next.
Xia Ning is not supposed to suffer so many difficulties!
Wan Liqing looks at the crowd of reporters in front of Zhou’s villa from far away. She puts on an evil smile at the corner of her lips. Seemingly, even the god is against Xia Ning.
Well. The hostess of the Yi family is really reckless. It is surprising that she dares to do these things. It is a heartless action. Wan Liqing wonders how Xia Ning will react.
In the past, Xia Ning was alone. Now, she has got Zhou Mengyao with her. The combination of them will create an interesting play.
However, …
Wan Liqing puts on a bigger smile on her face.
Soon, there will be a more interesting play waiting for Xia Ning.
This time, she aims at totally getting rid of Xia Ning!
It is in the dusk. The sunset looks like fire. It seems to paint the ground in golden color.
“Ning, let me tell you the good news. Some days ago, when the report was broadcasted, there were many people scolding you on the internet. However, there are many people defending you now! They are arguing on the internet and on the TV. It is said that a TV station wants to apologize to you. Ning, don’t worry. You may wait patiently. I will call you later.”
Xia Ning nods, “Hum. Thank you. Baoer, don’t forget that you are pregnant. You may watch less of these reports. It is not good for you.”
“I know. Ning, don’t worry. I have Zhenzhen here. The phone will emit some radiation. I may hang up now.”
Baoer hangs up the phone. Xia Ning smiles to shake her head. She puts her phone aside.
Zhou Mengyao told her not to turn on any of her communication instruments. She is afraid that some people may bother Xia Ning. Xia Ning registers a new card and sends the number to people she is familiar with only. She thinks that she can’t always hide behind.
Xia Ning drinks a mouthful of milk. She quietly looks out. The reporters gathering downstairs haven’t left yet. Under the current situation, she even can’t go out to walk around.
As Zhou Mengyao said, the situation arrived at some changes. However, the influences will remain for some time. She doesn’t know when Yi Yunrui will come back. She doesn’t know whether he has learned anything about the reports, either.
“When your mother and your wife both fall into the water, who will you save first?”
The words suddenly pop up in Xia Ning’s brain. Xia Ning smiles to shake her head.
From monitoring camera, Xia Ning sees that there are more reporters coming. She wonders how long the situation will last.
Suddenly, she finds that every reporter takes up their phone and answers to their calls. Xia Ning feels surprised. Their phones ring at the same time. Xia Ning wonders what big event happens.
Soon, some army vehicles come to the door. The army men getting off from the vehicle drive the reporters away by force.
Xia Ning frowns tightly. An ominous feeling flashes in her heart.
She is lost in confusion while suddenly, her phone rings. It is Zhou Mengyao.
“Aunt Zhou, what happens downstairs?”
“Ning.” Zhou Mengyao says in a serious voice word by word, “From now on. Don’t turn on your phone or the TV or the computer. Turn off all your communication instruments. Shut the camera monitoring the door, too. You may stay inside your room. Unless I tell you to, don’t come out of your room.”
Xia Ning feels more confused, “Aunt Zhou, what happens?”
“Nothing serious.” Zhou Mengyao hesitates for a while, “I am going to fight back. I may hang up now. Bye.”
Zhou Mengyao hangs up the phone. Xia Ning feels even more confused.
Fight back? But Aunt Zhou’s voice sounds very strange, as if something serious is going on.
If she is going to fight back, why does she speak in such a serious voice?
When Xia Ning still feels confused, her phone rings. It is Su Shen.
Why does Su Shen call her at this time?
Zhou Mengyao’s words pop up in Zhou Mengyao’s brain: Don’t answer any calls.
However, something happens. Does she just stay behind to hide herself?
No, she can’t be such a coward!
Thinking about this, Xia Ning presses the answer button.
“Is that Mrs. Yi?”
“Hum. President Su, hi.”
“It is really hard to contact you.”
“President Su, do you call me just to have a chat?”
“No. Of course not.” Su Shen hesitates for a little while, “Mrs. Yi, no matter where you are now, I call you to remind you to watch out your life safety recently.”
Watch out “life safety”?
Xia Ning feels shocked, “What do you mean?”
“Seemingly, you haven’t known what happens. I suggest that you open your computer now. After you learn what happens, you may decide whether you continue to stay at Zhou Mengyao’s home or not. Now, you are just like a bomb. Anything happens unexpectedly may make people around you end up in death with you!”
