Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 345 - Zhou Mengyao



Chapter 345 Zhou Mengyao

Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. Unsurprisingly, some people are not supposed to be forgiven!

Before she leaves, Du Bei sticks out her thumb and turns it down. She arrogantly snorts at Su Shen, Lei Buyang and Xia Ning. Then, she walks out of the ward, stamping heavily on the ground with her high heel shoes.

After Du Feng and Du Bei leave, Zhang Hai goes to Xia Ning, “Mrs. Yi, do we need to do anything?”

“Ahem. The coffee is too hot!” Before Xia Ning gives any responses, Lei Buyang messily puts the coffee aside. He takes a piece of tissue to wipe it when saying, “Don’t worry about the evil tricks of a naughty kid. Ning, you may just take care of yourself.”

Xia Ning thinks for a while. She turns to Lei Buyang and asks, “Buyang, can you get me a cup of coffee?”

Lei Buyang blinks his eyes. Suddenly, he responds in a loud voice, “You are injured now. You want to drink coffee? No way!”

Xia Ning twitches her lips. She has the desire to give him a punch.

“Anyway, it is fine for you to drink milk. I will get a glass of milk for you.” Lei Buyang says and stands up, walking to the counter.

“Mr. Su.” Xia Ning turns to Su Shen, “You have just got your wound healed. You may go home to take some rest. I will visit you to thank you a few days later.”

Su Shen hesitates. He glances at Lei Buyang and understands. Then he responds, “OK. Miss Xia, I am free these days. You may have a good rest. The exclusive interview is not urgent. We may fix another date after you recover.”

Xia Ning nods and says, “Thank you.”

They have a brief conversation for a while, then Su Shen leaves.

“Ning, do you like men of this type?” saying Lei Buyang, when he passes the milk to Xia Ning.

Xia Ning rolls her eyes at him, “I only like my husband.”

“Oh. Sweetie!” Lei Buyang pats his chest to make an intentionally painful gesture, moaning, “Honey, you are breaking my heart. Please show me some favor.”

Xia Ning shakes her head. She drinks the milk, thinking that Lei Buyang seems to become crazier and crazier.

When she met him for the first time, she thought that he was a very reserved man. However, it turns out that he is a playboy.

“Buyang, I don’t want to owe you.” says Xia Ning.

Lei Buyang feels confused about the words Xia Ning suddenly pops up. Then, he says with a smile, “It is between you and me. Do we need to be so?”

Xia Ning is just going to respond when Lei Buyang waves his hand and says, “I make acquaintance with a lot of people, but few of them are my real friends. Ning, don’t worry. Take your time for recovery. Let me deal with the rest of the thing.”

At the time, Lei Buyang’s phone rings. He glances at the number. Then, he goes closer to Xia Ning and says by her ear gently, “Sweetie, I have some work to do in the office. I may leave now. See you later.”

Then, Lei Buyang goes out of the ward in a hurry.

With everyone leaves, the ward suddenly turns quiet. Zhang Hai asks, “Mrs. Yi, do you feel hungry?”

Xia Ning is having an intravenous drip. The anti-inflammatory medicine in it has driven her appetite away. She shakes her head, “No. Thank you.”

Zhang Hai responds, “Mrs. Yi, if you need anything, please call me. I am just outside the door.”

He has made a mistake once. He can’t allow anything to happen again. Even if Commander Yi doesn’t blame him for that, he himself will ask for the punishment.

Zhang Hai has just left the ward, when he sees a middle-aged woman standing by the door. She looks not young, but she is an attractive beauty with a gentle smile. She has long black hair, tall and slim, wearing patient clothes. However, Zhang Hai still can feel her unique temperance of quietness and elegance.

“Boy.” The woman goes to him and says gently, “My name is Zhou Mengyao. I am an old friend of Army Commander Yi Xian. Is that his daughter-in-law, Xia Ning?”

Zhang Hai feels surprised. Xia Ning came to the hospital several hours ago. It is known to very few people. How can Zhou Mengyao…

Wait. She is an old friend of Army Commander Yi Xian?

Zhou Mengyao notices Zhang Hai’s confusion. She mildly smiles, taking out an old photo and says, “Boy, look.”

Zhang Hai takes over the phone, which is yellowish. It is a photo of Zhou Mengyao and Yixian. They were very young, seems to be barely twenty years old.

Decades ago, those who could afford to take photos were definitely rich. Zhou Mengyao at that time wore a suit of student uniform. She stood by Yi Xian, sweet and happy, while Yi Xian also smiled happily.

Zhang Hai looks at Zhou Mengyao carefully. Based on the photo, she is really a peer of Yi Xian, almost fifty years old now. Decades have passed, Zhou Mengyao still looks very young.

Zhang Hai passes the photo back to Zhou Mengyao and greets her politely, “Aunt Zhou, nice to meet you.”

Zhou Mengyao nods and says, “Boy, please go to tell Mrs. Yi that I want to talk with her for a while. It won’t be long.”

Zhang Hai hesitates for a while. But Zhou Mengyao looks gentle and nice. Finally, he agrees, “Please wait for a minute, Aunt.”

“Zhou Mengyao…” Xia Ning pronounce the name. She feels it familiar, as if she heard about it before. She says, “Hum. Please invite Aunt Zhou to come in.”

“Yes, Mrs. Yi.”

Soon, Zhou Mengyao comes in. She nods at Xia Ning with a smile, saying, “Miss Xia, sorry for a sudden visit. Sorry for disturbing you.”

At the moment of seeing Zhou Mengyao, Xia Ning feels like meeting her own mother. It feels so sweet, like her heart getting warmer. She responds, “Not at all. Aunt Zhou, please have a seat. I have slept for a whole day. I am quite energetic now.”

Zhou Mengyao sits down. At the time, Zhang Hai sends Zhou Mengyao a glass of warm water. Zhou Mengyao takes it over and says, “Thank you.”

Zhou Mengyao sips a mouthful of water and looks carefully at Xia Ning, “I heard from Commander Yi Xian that Yunrui had a good wife. I was curious about you. However, because of all kinds of reasons, I have never come to see you. It is a lucky coincidence to meet you today. Miss Xia, you are a kind person.”

Xia Ning feels shy to hear Zhou Mengyao’s compliments. She responds, “Aunt Zhou, you are flattering me. I am not as good as you say. I brought quite a lot of troubles to Rui and the family.”

Obviously, Zhou Mengyao knows quite a lot about Yi’s family. Xia Ning feels very surprised. She is so familiar with Yi’s family, why didn’t Xia Ning ever meet her?”

“We can’t control what other people say. It is enough as long as we don’t feel guilty in our hearts.” Zhou Mengyao hesitates for a while, and says, “Miss Xia, I also heard about some gossip about you. Surely some are bad. However, I believe in the third son of Yi’s Family. The one chosen by him can’t be wrong. As a matter of fact, I was outside just now. I saw many people go in and out of your ward. It means that you get along very well with other people. What was said in the newspaper can’t be true.”

“Aunt Zhou, thank you for your kindly understanding.” Finding that Zhou Mengyao wears patient clothes, Xia Ning asks, “Aunt Zhou, what’s wrong with you?”

Zhou Mengyao’s smile becomes smaller upon her question, she says, “Old people often have some healthy problems. It is nothing serious. I will leave the hospital in a few days.”

“Aunt Zhou, please take good care of yourself. Or, your family will be very worried about you.”

Hearing this, a drop of sadness flashes in Zhou Mengyao’s eyes. She holds Xia Ning’s hands and signs, “Ten years ago, my husband passed away. We have no children. I am alone now.”

Xia Ning feels sad. She says at once, “Aunt Zhou, I am sorry. I shouldn’t have reminded you of your sadness.”

God. Zhou Mengyao is so beautiful, but she has not even one family. How sad it is!

“You silly kid. You don’t need to apologize. I spent fifteen years with my husband. He was very kind to me. He loved me very much. The sweet memories of fifteen years are enough for the rest of my life.” Zhou Mengyao gently pats on Xia Ning’s hands and says, “Miss Xia, I know Yi Yunrui very well. He is very loyal to love. Once he makes the choice, it wont’s change for his whole life. It is hard to get happiness. You two have to cherish it. Unless there are no other choices, never let go of your hands from each other. Do you understand?”

Some people and things come once but never again. It is just like what happened between Yi Xian and her. It looks like an instant, but they have become old when they look back.

When Zhou Mengyao speaks, it is just like that the spring wind blows across Xia Ning’s heart and brings waves there. Xia Ning takes a deep breath. She nods and says, “Hum. I will. Aunt Zhou, thank you.”

“You are a nice kid.” Zhou Mengyao smiles to hold Xia Ning’s hands tightly.

When Zhou Mengyao came back to the country this time, she wanted to find a quiet place to spend the rest of her life with the memories about Junhao. Some time ago, Yi Xian found her and told her some things. So, she comes specially to meet Xia Ning. She has observed her for some time and sincerely likes her from the bottom of her heart.

Xia Ning is kind, strong and frank. She is the very one who can match with the third son of Yi’s family.

Suddenly, she feels her heart painful. Zhou Mengyao’s smile freezes. She hurriedly stands up and says, “Ning, it is time for me to take some medicine. You may have a good sleep. We will meet later.”

“Aunt Zhou…” Xia Ning still wants to say something, but Zhou Mengyao leaves in a hurry. Soon, she is out of Xia Ning’s sight.

Xia Ning feels very confused. Why did Zhou Mengyao specially come to see her?

The next day, Xia Ning leaves the hospital. Zhang Hai drives her back to the military compound. Zhang Hai is worried about Xia Ning’s health. He wants to send some female soldiers to take care of her. However, when he opens the door, both he and Xia Ning are shocked in surprise.

A person is sitting in the living room. It is Zheng Yao!

She is holding a cup of hot coffee, wearing a pink cheongsam. Keeping a straight face, she seems to be in a bad mood.

The house is full of coffee flavor. Some sounds come from the kitchen. Seemingly, Zheng Yao doesn’t come alone.

Till Zhang Hai greets Zheng Yao, Xia Ning has collected herself.

“Mom.” Xia Ning greets her. Zheng Yao looks displeased. Seemingly, she doesn’t come with good intentions!

Zheng Yao puts down the coffee and asks coldly, “Why, I am not welcomed?”

“No. I don’t mean that.” Xia Ning feels a little panic. She changes her shoes hurriedly and walk into the living room, “Mom, why didn’t you tell me in advance? I should have made some preparation…”

“The problem was that you turned off your phone and didn’t answer my calls.” Zheng Yao rolls her eyes at Xia Ning, “You show no respect to the senior and don’t have proper manners. If it goes on like this, seemingly, you are going to forget who is the hostess of the family.”

Xia Ning smiles in embarrassment, “Mom, don’t take it wrong. I don’t mean that…”

“Did I mention you?” Zheng Yao snorts, “Don’t think highly of yourself. You haven’t been capable enough yet!”
