Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 42: Family, Outsider, Lover

Yin Jingyao makes the speech and puts Xia Ning in the place to be judged. Xia Ning is embarrassed.

The problem between mother and wife has always been one of the most concerned issues in society.

Xia Ning’s heart sinks. She wants to leave and get away from Yin Jingyao’s speech.

As if he knows what she is thinking about, Yi Yunrui holds her hands. He asks Yin Jingyao with a spurious smile, “Are you questioning me how to be a son and a husband?”

“No...” Yin Jingyao shakes her head at once, “No, I did not mean that.”

“Even if I did not do it well in some respects, this is the Yi Family’s business. May I ask who do you think you are to question me about that?”

“I just...”

“I, Yi Yunrui, have my rules. I will not offend those who do not offend me.” Yi Yunrui’s eyes turn serious and he says word by word,

“Yin Jingyao, I am clear about what you did to Ning. I hope you will show some self-respect. Or, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”

Yi Jingyao’s heart freezes and she turns pale. She understands that Yi Yunrui is giving her the last warning. She won’t give up, but it is not the right time to lose her temper now.

“Sorry, it may sound a little harsh.” Yin Jingyao lowers her head to avoid the staring of Yi Yunrui, “I still have something to deal with. I may leave now.”

She carries her designer handbag and leaves.

Seeing that Yin Jingyao almost escapes from the door, Xia Ning feels relaxed, but she still doesn’t think it is right, “Rui, you have known each other for eight years and she is a girl. Don’t you think it may be a little straight forward to speak to her like that?”

Yi Yunrui looks at Xia Ning and his eyes become gentle, “Isn’t what she did to you straight forward?” Ning, don’t think too much. Your husband will handle everything for you.”

Xia Ning blushes and turns her face away, “Well, I will go and wash the dishes...”

“No. You don’t feel well. You need to have a rest.” Saying this, Yi Yunrui goes to collect the bowls and chopsticks.

Looking at the “diligent” Yi Yunrui, Xia Ning is stunned. He is a commander, and he is doing the cleaning...

“Don’t worry. I was in the Cookhouse Squad. I won’t break your bowls.”

Yi Yunrui drops the words and goes into the kitchen.

Xia Ning is at a loss for words...

Cookhouse Squad...

“Jingyao, did you find that woman?” Zheng Yao sees Yin Jingyao has come back. She holds her hands and asks anxiously.

Zheng Ran and Xiao Tingting also come and sit down by them.

Yin Jingyao nods, “Yes. I did.”

She pauses and hesitates.

Zheng Yao frowns, “Don’t be afraid. What did she say? You tell me. I will stand by your side if anything happens.”

Yin Jingyao sighs slightly, “Auntie, I failed to persuade Brother Yi. He is partial to the woman.”

Yes, very partial. When she walked out of Xia Ning’s house, she realized that Yi Yunrui would not treat her as before any longer.

She won’t take it. She is jealous. She envies and she hates!

But she can do nothing.

Hearing that, Zheng Yao’s face turns pale immediately. She thumps the table and cries, “How dare she! I must go and see what she can do to make herself so arrogant.”

Zheng Yao is really enraged. Zheng Ran and Xiao Tingting glance at each other and Xiao Tingting is glad secretly. Zheng Ran pats the back of Zheng Yao, “Sister, calm down...”

“Calm down! I cannot!” Zheng Yao shouts, Jingyao, bring me the coat. You lead the way and I am going to meet the little bitch!”

Yin Jingyao responds and is going to get the coat. At the time, a car is heard, and a black Audi comes in.

The master, Yi Xian comes back.

He pats his clothes and comes in. When he is going to say something, he notices the atmosphere in the living room. He frowns.

“What’s up?” The question is for all people present, but he only looks at Zheng Yao.

“Brother-in-law.”

“Uncle.”

Zheng Ran and Xiao Tingting greet Yi Xian. They have a look at Zheng Yao and dare not say anything more.

“It is what Xia Ning has done!” Zheng Yao says angrily, and her face gets a little red.

“General.” Yin Jingyao continues her words, “Auntie is enraged by Xia Ning. Xia Ning made some troubles these days and Brother Yi stands by her side. So, Auntie is angry...”

“I know.” Yi Xian interrupts and he looks gentle as always. However, he is quite cold when he speaks to Yin Jingyao, “Jingyao, Ning is the wife of Yunrui. It is natural for him to protect her. In addition, I have heard about the issue. It is a problem of the Yi Family. You shall just stay out of it.”

Saying this, Yi Xian tells Jiang Dahai who is standing behind him, “It is late. Drive Jingyao back to her home. Be careful on the road.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Yi Xian silently looks at Yin Jingyao with a vague smile on his face.

He is asking her to leave.

Yin Jingyao feels sad. She curls her lips and nods with grief.

“Xian, Jingyao is...” Zheng Yao is thinking of saying something for Yin Jingyao. But when she sees her husband’s face, she swallows the words.

When not talking about business, Yi Xian is an easy-going man. However, she knows her husband well. No one can defy his decision. And she feels there is something else in his eyes.

She doesn’t understand.

“Auntie, I may leave. I will come to see you again.” Yin Jingyao finds it is not the right time and leaves.

Getting on the car, Yin Jingyao keeps silent. When the car moves, she suddenly remembers something and says, “Please take me to a place...”

...

She doesn’t know since when she has become an outsider of the Yi Family. She was the one who was most likely to be the wife of Yi Yunrui.

But today. She is clear about the fact that it is her blindly imagination only.

Looking at her reflection in the window, Yin Jingyao bites her teeth and her charming eyes are filled with resentment.

Xia Ning ruins her beautiful future. Xia Ning snatches the man she loves most.

Xia Ning, wait and see. I will make you pay for it.

I will make you leave Yi Yunrui initiatively.

After Yin Jingyao leaves, Yi Xian turns to Zheng Ran and Xiao Ting, who are sitting by his wife. He coughs and says, “Ran, Tingting, I have prepared something special for Yao. I wonder if you two can...”

Hearing this, Zheng Ran understands. She smiles, “OK, OK. We understand. Sister, brother-in-law is so nice to you. Even at this age, he still treats you like this. I am envious of you. OK. Tingting and I will not disturb you two. Tingting, let’s go home.”

Zheng Ran holds Xiao Tingting’s hand and they leave hurriedly.

Yi Xian and Zheng Yao are left alone in the living room.

“Why did you tell them to leave? Are you also standing by the side of that woman?” Zheng Yao is not glad.

Yi Xian walks to her and signs, “I am not partial to anybody. If I am, I am definitely partial to you. You are my dearest wife.”

Zheng Yao feels warm and her voice turns gentle, “Then why did you ask them to leave?”

“Yao, there is a saying that do not wash your dirty linen in public. I know you like Jingyao. However, Yunrui is married now. In any aspect, Jingyao is an outsider. You may close the door and teach your son and your daughter-in-law the lessons, but you shall not let others laugh at our family.”

Yi Xian’s words are reasonable. Zheng Yao agrees, but she is still angry, “Yes, you are right. But the woman Yunrui marries is arrogant and dares to bully Tingting. She is totally ignoring her mother-in-law. What will she do later...”

“In my opinion, it is not as simple as you see.” Yi Xian waves his hands, “You said that Xia Ning bullied Tingting, but as far as I know, it is not the case.”

Zheng Yao is puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“Our boy Yunyi called me yesterday and told me something. Yunyi said that Tingting tampered with the exclusive interview report about Li Dezheng of Li’s Group and made Xia Ning the scapegoat. She was caught by Yunrui on the spot. Now the incident grows and Yunrui is mad now.”

Zheng Yao is surprised. She opens her mouth but doesn’t speak a word.

What? All of these are caused by Tingting?

“Is it true? Why would Tingting do that?”

Yi Xian doesn’t respond, but he looks at his wife with a vague smile.

“Why...why do you look at me like that?”

“Yao, you complained about Xia Ning in front of Tingting. Didn’t you?”

Zheng Yao is stunned. She did.

So...

In an instant, Zheng Yao sees, and she feels guilty. However, she doesn’t want to admit it, “Yes, I did complain about Xia Ning.”

But the report about Xia Ning could not come out from nowhere. I am not that kind of snob. But for those who get married to the sons of the Yi Family, being innocent is a must...”

“Yao.” Yi Xian takes her hands and puts them on his leg, “With no proof, we don’t judge someone. I don’t know Ning well, but Yunrui is our son. I know him. If he loves someone, he has his reasons. As parents, we should try to give them more freedom. Let the kids handle the problem. We don’t get involved.”

Zheng Yao is silent, as if she is thinking of something.

“Well.” Yi Xian makes several light coughs, “Yao, you see, I have fought for half of my life and have got quite some wounds in my body. And the children have grown up. We don’t need to worry about them. If you need something to worry about, you may worry about me. I am your husband. Ah, I feel my body is getting weaker and weaker...”

Saying this, Yi Xian coughs again. It makes Zheng Yao laugh. She punches him gently and says with concern, “Don’t pretend that, you are the great Commander of the PLA Military Department. How can you be so weak? OK. You win. Well, I have made some soup. Wait, I will bring some for you.”
