Chapter 332 I didn’t accept her as my daughter-in-law
“When I was very young, at the age of 8, I was almost killed in a landslide. A teenager wearing purple raincoat saved me finally. I have been grateful to him. One day, I saw this raincoat in Ye Enchen’s place. It was exactly the same as the raincoat that the teenager wore. I once mistakenly thought that it was Ye Enchen who saved me. Finally, he told me the raincoat was yours.”
Xia Nuan said, looking at Ye Sichen. She was a little confused.
Ye Sichen seemed to be thinking about something. He seemed to have no impression of the raincoat Xia Nuan mentioned. After a silence, he said slowly, “The purple raincoat is indeed mine. But I bought it.”
Xia Nuan had never been depressed like this before.
She always believed that the teenager who once saved her life was Ye Sichen…
“It has been many years since that happened. It was during the time when band was popular among people. A child spent all his savings in order to save his family, so he had to organize a charity sale on the street. I found and bought it at a high price. Everyone at that time said that he was a liar, but I didn’t think so. I can still clearly remember the concern in his eyes. He was really trying to save someone…”
“Was that child a boy or a girl?”
Ye Sichen looked at Xia Nuan, and seemed to find out something, “A boy about ten years old.”
He told a lie. At that time, it was a teenager about 15 or 16 years old who sold the purple raincoat to him.
But he had an intuition that Xia Nuan must have some connection with that teenager. In order to cut off the connection, Ye Sichen told a lie to her, describing the teenager as a boy.
There was a tinge of sadness in Xia Nuan’s eyes.
“So, that boy is not the life saver you are looking for?” He said with a surge of sneer in his tone.
After a whole night’s consideration, Xia Nuan made a decision, “Ye, I don’t want to lie to you. I must stay here to find out something. You and children go first. I’ll be back later.”
“Xia Nuan, I’ll give you one day to figure out.” Ye Sichen stood up slowly, “I will stay to wait for you with our children.”
Ye Sichen actually wanted to refuse Xia Nuan’s request, but she would never set her mind at ease if she could not find the answer.
“Thank you.” Xia Nuan looked at Ye Sichen with grat.i.tude, and she prepared to go to the flower house.
She and Ye Sichen both knew it well that the man named Gu Jinhan was just there, but they did not point it out.
Ye Sichen looked at Xia Nuan’s figure, his eyes twitching uncontrollably. He picked up his phone slowly.
“Tie him up, and release him when we leave.” He hung up, sitting on the sofa calmly, and looking at the children who were playing.
Xia Nuan went to the flower house again, but she did not find Gu Jinhan. She searched for him but found n.o.body.
“Gu Jinhan, are you here now?” Xia Nuan said to the air in a lower voice.
n.o.body answered.
Xia Nuan felt depressed. She looked for him about half an hour, but failed. Gu Jinhan seemed to be evaporated from the earth without any trace.
After a long time, she returned to the villa.
Ye Sichen was still sitting there, waiting for her. When he saw her, his faint eyes were brightened up, and he closed the newspaper, “Have you finished your business?”
“No, I didn’t find him.” She said, and was a little upset.
Ye Sichen walked towards her, and held her hands, “Well, since he doesn’t want to see you, why you bother yourself by tangling with the past? He was just a person you knew in the past. How much do you know about him? You have to know that I’m the one who are waiting for you forever.”
He raised her delicate face, forcing her to look at him.
Xia Nuan was so moved that she nestled herself in his arms.
“Let’s go back. We should set off this time.”
Xia Nuan nodded, holding his hand.
Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan took their three children, leaving the villa in Country A without any hesitation. When they left, only several servants followed them, while Meng Zuo needed to stay there to deal with something else.
The door of the flower house was opened. Meng Zuo prepared to release that man at the command of Ye Sichen. He broke into the flower house without permission, which was hara.s.sment, so, Meng Zuo prepared to send him to the police station.
Ye Sichen ordered him to do this.
But when Meng Zuo opened the door, there was no trace of that man. He was so confused, and looked for him in the flower house, but found n.o.body.
To Meng Zuo’s curiosity, the doors were all locked. How did he escape?
But Meng Zuo did not think too much. He sent someone to look for him again, but still failed, so he just let go of it. And for Meng Zuo, there was one thing more important. He needed to deal with Xiao Chi and had to keep trace of Xiao Chi’s every move.
They were approaching that beautiful island. Xia Nuan took children outside to enjoy the scenery. She pointed at the scenery not far away, and said, “You three should remember to give your presents to granny when you come home, OK?”
“Ok, mom.” Wuyou nodded.
“Dad and I have our gifts to granny. You give yours first.” Xia Nuan tried her best to make Mrs. Ni like her children, because Ye Sichen once said he wanted her to get along well with Mrs. Ni.
Even though Mrs. Ni disliked her and her children.
“What if she refuses my gift?” Nianci asked Xia Nuan.
Ye Sichen came up, and looked at Xia Nuan with a smile.
“You have to find a way to let her receive your gifts. You should let her like you.” Xia Nuan told them.
Nianci and Ansheng nodded obediently.
“What if she hurts us again?” Wuyou asked Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan just froze.
Ye Sichen’s smile was suddenly frozen.
“No, she won’t. She is your granny. How can she hurt you?”
“But mom, you told us to stay away from granny when we were in the island. You said she would do something crazy.” Nianci uttered without any consideration.
“It was before. Now she won’t.”
Ye Sichen went to hold the children’s hands, “You have to know she is your granny.”
“Well, dad, Nianci and I have remembered it in mind.” He held Nianci’s hands.
The wind was blowing. So Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan took children into the cabin.
Di Luoke was greeting them together with Mrs. Ni, Ge Li, and a few servants. But Mrs. Ni and Ge Li only fixed their eyes on Ye Sichen, ignoring Xia Nuan and the children.
Only Di Luoke and the servants helped to get Wuyou, Nianci, and Ansheng down the ship.
Xia Nuan carried the luggage and stood beside Ye Sichen, looking at Mrs. Ni with a smiling face. At this time, Mrs. Ni disguised deliberately because she was worried about being monitored by someone on the island.
Mrs. Ni did not want to greet Xia Nuan. She just held Ye Sichen’s hands, and kept caring about his health situation.
“Chen, have you found your uncle Ni Yuan?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve found him. We are cooperating now.” Ye Sichen stood beside Mrs. Ni.
“Cooperating?” Mrs. Ni stopped her steps.
“Yes. We are cooperating, in order to deal with the president of Country A, Xiao Chi. Because we’ve found out that it was Xiao Chi who framed Ni’s Family. I have the evidence and the confidence to defeat him.” Ye Sichen was determined when he said this.
But when hearing his words, Mrs. Ni was a little uncomfortable, and her expression was unnatural.
Only Ye Sichen knew why she was uncomfortable. With a flash of sorrow in his eyes, he supported Mrs. Ni.
“I’m fine.” Mrs. Ni tried to make herself look tough.
“Mom.” Ye Sichen first called Mrs. Ni in such way. He held her hands, “I’ll revenge you and Ni’s Family.”
The mother and the son looked at each other without saying. Ye Sichen saw shame, humiliation and resentment in Mrs. Ni’s eyes.
“Xiao Chi and Yuezhao Organization are on the same side. Now you know why I hate Yuezhao Organization so much.” Mrs. Ni looked towards Xia Nuan when saying this, with a flash of hatred in her eyes.
“I know.”
They entered home.
As arranged before, Xia Nuan and three children took out their gifts to the front of Mrs. Ni.
“Granny, we have some gifts for you.” Wuyou said first, standing in front of Mrs. Ni.
Mrs. Ni looked at Wuyou, and then shifted her eyes to Xia Nuan.
Wuyou handed his present to Mrs. Ni, and then, Nianci and Ansheng gave their small gifts to Mrs. Ni. Mrs. Ni smiled, and opened them by herself.
Within the three boxes, there was a jade bracelet, a corsage, and a cute greeting card. There was a picture drawn by Ansheng on the card.
Mrs. Ni cleared her brows when seeing these. She pulled three children into her arms, “You’re so lovely. Thank you for your gifts.”
Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen gave comforting smiles.
“Mom, this is my present. Please receive it.” Xia Nuan handed an exquisite box to Mrs. Ni when she saw Mrs. Ni was in a good mood.
In fact, this present was selected by her and Ye Sichen. But Ye Sichen wanted Xia Nuan to make a good impression of herself on Mrs. Ni. So, he let Xia Nuan say it was selected by herself.
Mrs. Ni’s smile froze little by little. She looked at Xia Nuan with contempt, “You called me what?”
Xia Nuan could feel her obvious hatred to her, but she still chose to tolerate, “I called you Mom.”
“Don’t call me that. I’m not used to it. After all, you haven’t married.” Mrs. Ni said.
Ye Sichen stepped forward to protect Xia Nuan, “Mom, Xia Nuan is my wife, and she is your daughter-in-law.”
“Chen, to be honest, I don’t accept her as my daughter-in-law. That’s all.” Mrs. Ni pushed away Xia Nuan’s gift.
“I’m sorry. There was some misunderstanding between us, but I’ll make up for it till you can accept me one day.” Xia Nuan withdrew her gift, and turned to the bedroom.
When Xia Nuan just left, Mrs. Ni said, “Chen, I have something to tell you.”
