Chapter 519 Biting Back

“Li?”

Xia Ning was surprised when hearing this name, “What did she say?”

“She said that you were behind all of this. She also played the ‘recording’ and showed the cheque you gave her! That b*tch is ruthless!”

Xia Ning was in complete shock!

The cheque, recording… This afternoon…

“Dear, what’s wrong?” Yi Yunrui was worried that his wife looked strange.

“I…I…” Holding her husband’s hand tightly, Xia Ning said, “I can’t say it now. Let’s first check out what Tianyu is up to.”

The press conference was already halfway when they were back home and switched on the television. Since it was recorded, the first half was sent over after Yi Yunrui called a particular office.

Xia Ning recognized Li sitting in the middle at first sight. She took out a cheque and said timidly, “This is what I got from Xia Ning on that day when she asked me to teach He Yuan a lesson. Three hundred thousand yuan. Here’s her signature.”

The room was in an uproar. Xia Ning was shocked. She knew immediately that she had been set up.

“Miss Li, may I ask why you are so certain that Xia Ning was behind this when your proof is just a cheque?”

One journalist asked. Li answered, “When I finished her business, I asked her for the money. She didn’t want to do so initially. But then she considered that I might tell the truth and gave me the money.”

The journalists looked at one another and found that everyone was confused. And then another journalist stood up and asked, “Miss Li, no offence. You say that it was Xia Ning who asked you to do that. Do you have any other proof?”

Li took a deep breath and nodded, “Yes. On that day when I asked Xia Ning for money, I made some recordings in fear of her setting me up. Here’s the audio.”

The screen showed that a recording was being played.

“Mrs. Xia, I know that you are also born in a working family. You should be aware of what I’ve been through. Please, I’m begging you. Please help me…”

“Actually, you beat He Yuan. You have to take responsibility. I can’t do anything for you even if you come to me.”

“She received the cheque without a word. Sister Xia… You are not supposed to help her!”

“… It was you who seduced Huo Zhanpeng that night. You deserved it… Mrs. Xia… She will definitely be a burden for you…”

“See her off, Jing Shu!”

The recordings were interrupted at several points, and the dialogues were not finished. However, the lousy audio “proved” firmly what Li had said.

Xia Ning had asked Li to “teach” He Yuan a lesson which resulted in He Yuan’s facial damage. But Xia Ning wanted to break the deal and keep the money afterwards. She finally gave Li the money reluctantly to keep her mouth shut.

There was murmuring in the room. Many journalists were still confused.

“Miss Li, what I heard from the recording is that Xia Ning declined to pay you and cast you off. But now you’ve got the money. Why do you choose to speak the truth to the public?”

Li gritted her teeth, “Though I don’t have a decent job, I still have my conscience. I know that Xia Ning is rich and powerful, with many people backing her up. I’m nobody. But I still believe that there’s justice in the world. I feel sorry for myself and He Yuan. I won’t take this dirty money.”

Saying so, Li took out the cheque and tore it apart in front of the crowd.

Her action raised an uproar in the room.

People saw Li tearing apart the cheque. Even if they were suspicious previously, they were now more convinced. The cheque was real and it was really torn apart.

Even if the audio was lousy, people now thought that Li was afraid in the face of Xia Ning, which ruined her recording.

Plus, it was Xia Ning’s voice in the recording and so was her assistant’s. They broke their deal and cast her off. That actually happened.

Watching the press conference, Xia Ning gritted her teeth with anger. She clenched her fist, feeling regret that she had fallen into the trap!

Feeling his wife was uneasy, Yi Yunrui held her tightly, “Calm down. Think nothing for now. Just hug me.”

Xia Ning shook her head, “Dear, I’m so stupid, really. Li came to me and asked for my help this afternoon, saying that Huo Zhanpeng and He Yuan wanted to bully her. I wasn’t planning to do anything. But then I pitied her, so I gave her a three hundred thousand cheque to start a new life somewhere else. I didn’t expect…”

Hearing his wife sobbing, Yi Yunrui felt like a knife stabbing in his heart. He hugged his wife tightly and gently patted her back, “It’s alright. I know it wasn’t you. Cry no more. I will deal with it for you.”

“Dear, I’m so stupid. I’m really stupid…” She knew that Yi Yunrui would take care of it, but this was all her fault. As Yi Yunrui’s wife, she could not help him but kept bringing him troubles all the time. She felt worthless!

Yi Yunrui frowned, a fire raging in the depth of his eyes. They were taking advantage of his wife’s kindness, very well!

He had thought about giving Tianyu a couple of days for their “atonement”. But now he decided it was time to “exterminate”!

Xia Ning’s tears made Yi Yunrui heartbroken. He coaxed her to stop sobbing with a bleeding heart. He treasured his wife every day with great care. How dared those people!

“Dear, don’t be too harsh on yourself. You’re not stupid at all.” He wiped the tears off his wife’s face, saying gently, “You’re just too kind and not as sly as other people. But no worries since I can help you with this. The world has its dark side. But how can we live happily if we only focus on such things? You know what, dear, every time I look at you, all I see is the beautiful side of the world. You’re like the first sunlight in the morning that brings me hopes every day.”

“But we all know that this world is also too cruel to tolerate such power. People like you are destined to be hurt since the darkness is afraid of the light. It’ll do whatever it can to extinguish this light.”

Saying this, Yi Yunrui took his wife’s hands and kissed them deeply, “It’s my great honor to marry you. My wife is kind and pure, bringing me positive power, though she is sometimes naive, which makes her cute anyway. I… I love you so much.”

As a soldier and leader, he shed a lot of blood. His path was dark. He used to only dream of howling from the depth of hell. But every time he opened his eyes, he saw the angel face of his sleeping wife, which made him feel his soul cleansed and strengthened.

“Little fool, do you know what I mean? Stop blaming yourself. You did everything right. If I were you, I would also do the same thing. If this was a mistake, who doesn’t ever make any error?” He took a deep breath and took his wife’s hands to his chest, “It’s my fault that I haven’t taken good care of you and not let others take advantage of you. It’s me who should apologize. Sorry, my dear.”

The strong heartbeats beneath her palm sent Xia Ning continuous energy. She felt warm from his heart. She feared nothing when her husband was by her side.

She knew that Yi Yunrui would hurt when she cried. So, she was hurt as well.

Yi Yunrui said that she was his hope. And he was also her hope!

With two people standing together, she was confident that they could overcome every obstacle ahead.

Rumors said that Yi Yunrui was merciless, but how could a relentless person say anything sweet like this?

Her husband was really a gentle person.

Xia Ning took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. Her head against her husband’s chest, she hugged her husband tightly around the waist, saying, “I won’t cry anymore. I will never give up. They can do whatever they like. But I can handle every obstacle and challenge.”

Yi Yunrui was awed. He gently rubbed his wife’s tummy with his hand, “Kiddo, you heard that? Your mum is brave. You should also grow to be a brave person like her someday.”

Xia Ning laughed, “Not at all. Kiddo, you should learn to be someone like your dad. Your mum is too naive.”

“Little fool.” Yi Yunrui pinched his wife’s nose. He made up his mind.

Just let the thing happen.

Xia Ning felt tired after crying. The doctor was right that pregnant women should not be too emotional. So, Xia Ning went to bed early.

Yi Yunrui saw that his wife was asleep when he got out of the bathroom. She was still holding a book about baby care. Feeling warm from his heart, he kissed her forehead gently and took away the book.

It was a tough day for his wife.

If possible, he would not like his wife to witness the dark side of the world.

He just wanted her to smile forever.

His phone rang. It was Zhang Hai.

Yi Yunrui tucked his wife in, turned off the bedroom light, and took his phone to the balcony.

“Boss, I got in touch with Masahiro Shizuka. I’m now downstairs. Shall I come up?”

Yi Yunrui took a good look at the bedroom and said softly, “No, I’ll go down.”

A couple of minutes later, Yi Yunrui arrived at the car park where Zhang Hai was waiting near Knight XV.

“Commander!” Zhang Hai saluted and handed Yi Yunrui the computer, “Commander, it’s all done. Masahiro Shizuka is waiting for your reply.”

Yi Yunrui was a little confused. He gave Masahiro Shizuka twenty-two hours, and there were still six hours left. It was weird that Masahiro Shizuka asked for him at this time.
