Chapter 30: The Women in the Villa (1/2)
It reminds Zheng Yao, who stops and puts down the phone, “That’s right. I miss this. Then what can we do? She is too arrogant!”
“Anyway, that woman is your daughter-in-law. Yunrui just married her. Let’s wait and see.” Zheng Ran pats her sister’s shoulder, “We have to believe Yunrui has the judgement.”
Zheng Yao goes silent and signs at last. She shakes her head, “She is the one Yunrui chose. We cannot but wait.”
Yin Jingyao darkens her face and feels full of complaints in her heart.
Xia Ning, let us wait and see. Yi Yunrui’s wife will be me, only.
On the road, people and cars come and go, with endless noises.
“Hum, drive into No. 2, Kanghe Alley. Yes, it is.” According to the information, Xia Ning comes to a remote alley.
There is some distance from here to downtown. People of B City know that this is the slum in B City.
Xia Ning gets off, among the criss-cross alleys. She looks for quite a while to find the little house.
The exterior wall of the house is broken and seems to be years old. Xia Ning stops in front of the house and is a little confused.
People living here will have any relationship with Li Dezheng?
She hesitates for a while and knocks at the door, “Auntie, please open the door, I am from President Li’s.”
Two hours later, Xia Ning comes out from the Kanghe Alley and calls Li Dezheng, who picks up the phone very soon.
“How is it? Have you decided,woman?”
“President Li, as for the dinner, Chief Editor Xiao will response to you tomorrow. Would you wait with patience?”
The other side pauses and smiles, “Well, playing the trick?”
“President Li, you cannot say so. Everyone knows who Chief Editor is. If President Li is of sincerity, why not wait for another day?”
“Oh, then, I will show my sincerity and wait for tomorrow’s response. Or, no need to mention the exclusive interview.
Saying this, Li Deheng hangs up the phone.
Xia Ning smiles. One evening is enough for her.
Xiao Tingting just said that she makes use of her. Then, let it happen.
No matter what she does, it will be said to be her fault. Then just add one more fault.
Having all the material and manuscripts put in order, Xia Ning goes back to Yasi Villa. It is already past ten o’clock.
It is one hour earlier than usual. Xia Ning drops the briefcase, pedals off her shoes and throws herself in the sofa.
Exhausted, really exhausted. The whole strength of the body is overused.
Her working overtime every day is called “asking for it” by Li Bao’er. Well, she understands what it means. That is right. She is now asking for it.
With her education background and work experience, it is not difficult for her to find a job. The salary may not be as much as TIME, but the advantage is that she will feel easier and relaxed.
However, her heart tells her to go on; she won’t be a deserter!
She looks gentle, but she knows that she is tough. When she makes the decision, no one can make her give up.
The reality is cruel and she has to learn how to stand it. She does not want to rely on Yi Yunrui.
If she can stand the difficulties in TIME, it will be easier for her to work in other places in the future.
Thinking of this, Xia Ning takes a deep breath. She wants to eat a piece of chocolate to feel better, when she sees there is a cup on the glass table. She is stunned.
On the table, there is a goblet, with a circle of red lipstick on the edges. That is the semilunar shape of woman’s drinking!
There is still some wine residue in the glass, telling that the drinking happened just a while before.
There is a piece of paper under the cup. Xia Ning takes it up. The writing is elegant. It says: Rui, I am back.
As if being punctured by a needle, Xia Ning feels her heart hurt. A woman has been here. She doesn’t know if she has left.
