Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband-Chapter 32
Chapter 32: Take It or Not
Xiao Tingting is in a fury. Xia Ning smiles slightly, “Chief Editor Xiao, you told me to find the way to do the exclusive interview. Now it is done. Why are you still unsatisfied?”
“You.” Xia Tingting does not expect Xia Ning’s talking back. She bites her teeth, “I am asking what the hell you have done to enrage President Li?”
“Nothing, I just told him to be a dutiful son.”
“!” Xia Ning is puzzled about Xia Ning’s words. She did not read Li Dezheng’s material and cannot understand what it means, “No matter what, President Li is angry and you are going to get rid of it.”
Xia Ning’s face darkens, “Chief Editor, I have finished the exclusive interview. President is angry because he just wants to say he is angry. I have done nothing to him.”
“I don’t care!” Xiao Tingting claps her desk, “In any means, you have to get President Li away from his rage.”
Xia Ning clenches her fists, restively she says, “Sorry. I cannot do that.”
Li Dezheng is now in a fury. It would be asking for trouble to go there now.
It is unimaginable what kind of irrational requirements will be raised then.
Xiao Tingting stares at her, as if she is thinking of tearing her in pieces. She takes up the draft of the interview and reads for a while and drops it down heavily.
Xia Ning does not speak. If not forced tightly by Xiao Tingting, she would never have done it in this way.
In addition, Li Dezheng was rude first, or, she would not go to the extreme, “If Chief Editor is not satisfied, you can call off this interview.”
“You are not lecturing me!” Without looking at her, Xiao Tingting just wants her to disappear as soon as possible, “You don’t need to come here today. Go home and think about it yourself!”
Xia Ning feels her heart stuck. She turns back and takes the briefcase to leave.
Xiao Tingting squints and glances at the draft. Then the corners of her mouth go up slightly.
Xia Ning, how dare you talk back to me? I will make you taste the consequence!
Xia Ning closes the door of the Chief Editor Office. She takes a deep breath and realizes that all the people in the office are looking at her.
Since Ou Yixuan and Yin Jingsi got engaged, she has become a joke, a clown and a focus in TIME. It takes only one month for her to get used to the disdainful looks of others. She puts on her coat and walks out of TIME without looking back.
Walking out of TIME, Xia Ning looks at the crowds on the roads and feels for the first time in three years that she is an outsider.
She will leave TIME sooner or later.
She feels some bitterness in her heart and wants to find a place to calm down. She hails a taxi and goes back to Yasi Villa.
Taking off the coat and throwing away the briefcase, Xia Ning lies down in the sofa and takes a long breath.
At this time, Li Bao’er calls.
“Hey, are you OK? You look angry when you left. Did Chief Editor Xiao enrage you?”
Not waiting for the response, Li Bao’er anxiously asks a lot of questions.
“No. I have finished the exclusive interview with President Li and Chief Editor Xiao offers me a half day vacation.” Xia Ning says tiredly.
“Don’t you trick me!” Li Bao’er raises her voice, “I heard that you were quarrelling with her, in a big voice. What happened? Tell me. Do you think I may ask for a leave to see you? Where are you?”
“No, it is no need. You may go to work. Don’t get too close to me these days. Or, you may get in trouble.” Li Bao’er is from a poor family and her parents are just normal workers. It is not easy for her to work at TIME. She knows that Li Bao’er works very hard to keep a stable job in TIME.
The salary from TIME is the main income of Li Bao’er’s family.
“Xia Ning, what did you say!” Li Bao’er is angry, “I am poor, but I have the gut! I have been working for many years and have never asked for any leaves. What if I ask for one? Wait for me. I will be there soon.” Li Bao’er finishes her words and hangs up.
“Hello!” Xia Ning is unable to stop her. She feels chaos in her head.
She has not got rid of the goblet with lipstick. She looks at the goblets blankly for quite a while. Then she goes to the answering machine and presses the message button.
“Rui, I am waiting for you in the old place. If you come back, come to see me.”
Xia Ning’s eyes darken. It seems this woman would not like to disappear.
It is only a month or so, her life has completely changed. She is not the Xia Ning, who was easy in her world and satisfied with leisure.
In other people’s eyes, she is now “The Third Woman”, who seeks power and offends the daughter of Mayor of B city. People of her husband’s family don’t like her. She becomes a public enemy.
Xia Ning looks at the empty house and finds herself lonely in an instant.
She doesn’t belong here. She doesn’t belong to this class either.
She cannot cheat herself. Though she accepts everything as they are, she has got her dignity.
Walking back to the room, Xia Ning takes out the two certificates Yi Yunrui gave her, and his salary card too. She puts them all on the table and finds a piece of paper to leave a message.
“Thank you for your care these days.”
With the pen in hand, she thinks she should write something else, but she cannot.
Ah, there is some money in her card from Hokkaido Sushi restaurant…she thinks for a while and decides she will keep it.
Maybe she will go to another place to start all over again.
She is not performing a deserter. However, she feels the current situation makes her bored. She is in a mess and not happy.
She promises her parents that she will be happy.
Luckily, she does not have many clothes and doesn’t have many things in the Yasi Villa either. Basically, one luggage bag will be enough. She gets everything packed and leaves Yasi Villa. She hails a taxi and goes back to her previous rented apartment.
She has not cut the release and is able to back to her “home”. It is simple, yet it is warm and comfortable.
She has just entered the door while her phone rings again. It is from Li Bao’er.
“Hey, I have got the leave. Where are you?”
As she always is, simply and directly, Li Bao’er asks.
“I am at my apartment. If you like, come here.” Xia Ning replies and puts down the luggage.
“OK. Will be there in ten minutes.”
Xia Ning turns on the computer and takes out the salary card. She wants to check how much money she has got with her.
She goes to the address and keys in the account number and password. The pages of the bank transfer. Xia Ning waits patiently.
Several seconds later, the amount appears. Looking at the long queue of numbers in the amount, Xia Ning’s eyes widen.
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, million…
Feeling uncertain, Xia Ning calculates again and again and her thought pauses for a while.
God. Only one-month shared profit from the Hokkaido Sushi restaurant has made her a rich little woman!
As calculated, this month, she makes no loss.
And then she realizes that Commander Yi is rich, greatly rich!
She checks the details and finds the money came in on 9th of the month. She also has got her saving of more than 200 thousand yuan besides this.
These years, she did not use much money and saved a lot. In fact, her 200 thousand yuan is enough for her to lead a comfortable life already.
Yi Yunrui has given so much money to her. Should she take it? Is that reasonable?
She thinks for a while and takes out her phone.
