Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 460 - You Are My Niece



Chapter 460 You Are My Niece

Hearing Zheng Yao’s question, Xia Ning can’t respond.

“Zheng Yao, what are you saying?” Dai Zhen is a gentleman. But when he hears Zheng Yao’s offensive words, he fails to restrain himself any longer, “Who is a bitch? Zheng Yao, you call my niece bitch again, even Yi Xian can’t keep you safe!”

Niece…

The words rush out of Dai Zhen’s mouth. The word Niece shocks everyone greatly!

It takes quite a while for Zheng Yao to collect herself. She turns to look at Xia Ning and then Dai Zhen. She feels not sure about that, “Dai Zhen, what did you call Xia Ning just now?”

Since he has spoken it out, Dai Zhen doesn’t want to hide it anymore. He says word by word, “Yes. Xia Ning is my niece!”

Hearing Dai Zhen’s confirmation, Xia Ning feels shocked blankly!

What? … Did she mishear? Dai Zheng is her … uncle?

She was raised by her grandmother. Her grandmother told her that her uncle had passed away. Her grandmother never mentioned anything about her uncle. She tried to ask about that, but her grandmother didn’t reply. Helplessly, she had to stop asking.

If her uncle is Dai Zhen, why didn’t her grandmother ever mention that?

Wait. Zheng Yao said before that her grandmother was called a home wrecker. Xia Ning remembers that when she was young, her grandmother was really unpopular with other people. She remembers that some uncles and aunts came with some big instruments and asked her grandmother some questions. However, her grandmother kicked them away from the house.

Then, she saw several times that her grandmother secretly cried…

Dai Zhen is aware of Xia Ning’s confusion. He walks to Xia Ning and gently asks, “Ning, your grandmother was called Dai Lianni, wasn’t she?”

Xia Ning nods.

Dai Zhen gives a sigh. He tells the unknown history of what happened fifty years ago.

Dai Lianni is Dai Zhen’s mother.

Before Xia Ning’s mother was born, Dai Lianni gave birth to Dai Zhen. They led a tough life at that time. Dai Lianni raised Dai Zhen by herself alone.

It was a sad story that the son took her mother’s surname.

It meant that the mother didn’t want other people to know who the father of her son was.

It was in the period of the War of Resistance. Dai Zhen worked hard and well. He graduated from the military college and joined the war to resist US aggression in Korea. He set up his great achievements when he was young.

However, in a battle, he was injured in a bombing and his brain was hurt. He lost his memory.

At that time, he was in love with a nurse. But that nurse was not Chinese.

He went with the nurse to her country.

He left and didn’t come back.

Till an incident happened to him and reminded him of everything. He remembered his mother who had been missing him day and night!

His wife was aware of his uneasiness. But she didn’t allow him to come back to the country.

She was afraid that he might leave and never come back.

It was ironic. He had tried everything to leave the nation for love before, and he tried whatever he could to come back then.

He just wanted to meet his mother again.

However, his wife tried again and again to stop him. She even threatened him with her life.

He struggled for that and several years passed.

In the end, he realized that he could not make any delay and decided to come back to the county alone.

However, his mother had passed away at that time.

He felt very regretful about that!

If he had come back a little earlier, he would have been able to meet his mother!

He was so young when he left home. He could imagine that his mother must have waited for him all the years…

Dai Zhen says and sheds tears sadly.

It takes him quite a while to control his emotions.

Dai Zhen gives a long sigh, “Till Ning came to interview me at that time. My assistant told me the background of Xia Ning.”

He saw that Xia Ning’s grandmother was named Dai Lianni.

The past had passed. He was sorry for his mother. He was sorry for Xia Ning, too. When he saw his never met niece, in an instant, he felt afraid.

He was afraid that his niece would not forgive him.

He was afraid that he might lose Xia Ning, too!

He left his lover abroad while his mother waited for him all her life. He felt that he was a real loser!

Dai Zhen finishes telling the history. He finds Xia Ning widen her eyes. He feels panic. Unconsciously, he reaches to hold Xia Ning’s hand as if he is afraid that Xia Ning will leave him anytime.

He knew that Xia Ning and her family didn’t lead an easy life. If he had been back some time earlier, the family wouldn’t have been bullied for so many years!

It was all his fault. He knew everything but he still hid the secret. Till now, Zheng Yao has such a big problem with Xia Ning and he finally stands out.

“Ning…” Dai Zhen’s lips tremble. He feels worried. What could he do if his niece didn’t forgive him?

He doesn’t have the right to ask his niece to forgive him!

“I… I am sorry.”

The word Sorry carries all the feelings of guilt of Dai Zhen. As an army man, he will not blink his eyes when facing rains of bullets and he is never afraid of death. However, at this moment, in front of his family, he lowers his head. What is inside his heart is all guilt.

Xia Ning feels so shocked that she opens her mouth for quite a while and doesn’t close it.

Unexpectedly, Dai Zhen is her uncle!

She is stunned for quite a while. She doesn’t know what she can say. It happens too suddenly!

Dai Zhen feels guilty. He mistakes Xia Ning’s being shocked to be that his niece doesn’t accept him. He feels sad and tears blur his eyes.

Everything is his fault!

Dai Zhen grits his teeth. He loosens his hand and turns to leave.

“Uncle!” Xia Ning looks at his back. Unconsciously, she calls out!

She thought that she had got no family at all except Yi Yunrui in this world. Suddenly, she has got an uncle. It means that she is not alone now!

However, to her surprise, her uncle… turns out to be Dai Zhen, a founder of the nation! God. That is shocking. All of a sudden, she feels herself inferior to being the niece of this uncle.

Anyway, he is her uncle! No matter how high his ranking is, Dai Zhen is her uncle!

Hearing Xia Ning call him, Dai Zhen trembles!

He feels shocked for some seconds. And then, he turns around and asks with uncertainty, “Ning, what did you call me just now?”

Xia Ning opens her mouth. She was anxious when she called just now. Now, he asks her to repeat it. She feels…

Dai Zhen finds his niece’s face turn red. He slightly lifts his lips and asks tentatively, “Did you call me uncle?”

Xia Ning purses her lips and nods.

In an instant, Dai Zhen burst into great happiness. It is the second time that he feels so glad ever since the victory of the War of Resistance!

“Come on. Ning, call me uncle again.” Dai Zhen says. He comes to Xia Ning and lowers his body to look at her. He screws his eyes into a line.

Xia Ning twists the corner of her clothes. She feels very shy. She glances at Yi Yunrui who stands beside her and looks at her with encouragement. Xia Ning takes a deep breath and calls, “Uncle!”

“Yes. My niece! Ha. Ha!” Dai Zhen laughs brightly. He turns to his comrade-in-arms, “Ha. Ha. Do you three see this? I am an uncle now! Ha. Ha!”

Huang, Yang and Li are all live-and-die friends of Dai Zhen. They are even closer than brothers. They see Dai Zhen who is always quiet laugh so happily. To be honest, they feel happier than Dai Zhen himself.

Tens of years have passed and the uncle and niece finally have the real reunion. That is really good.

Dai Zhen is so glad that he holds Xia Ning’s hand. He pats it and says, “Ning, please don’t blame me. Really, please don’t blame your uncle. In the last tens of years, I struggled in pain all the time. I was afraid that if I told the truth, you would be mad at me. You would refuse to admit me… Ah… It is reasonable if you are angry with me. It was my fault. All those years, you all suffered a lot.”

When her family is mentioned, Xia Ning remembers that one day her grandmother looked at the sky and was lost in meditation. She suddenly understands everything. She feels sad and tears roll down from her eyes.

“Ah. Don’t cry. My good niece. You were wronged…” Dai Zhen asks Xia Ning not to cry, while he turns around and wipes his tears on his face.

Yi Yunrui holds his wife tightly, “Sweetheart, don’t cry. It is good to get reunited with your uncle. You should laugh. Crying is not good for the baby.”

Being reminded by Yi Yunrui, Xia Ning realizes at once that she should control her emotions. So, she takes a deep breath. She turns to Dai Zhen, “Uncle, grandmother never blamed you. So, you don’t need to worry that I may not forgive you. I have got a family now. I feel happy. How can I hate you instead?”

She doesn’t hate him. But she feels regretful. Anyway, her grandmother has passed away.

They are having a happy reunion here while on the other side, it feels tense. Looking at Xia Ning’s smile, Mei Ruo feels so angry that she grits her teeth. To her surprise, Dai Zhen is Xia Ning’s uncle. With the backup of Dai Zhen, she may need to think carefully when she wants to do anything to Xia Ning next time.

Damn it. How many secrets does Xia Ning have? Why does her own father also defend Xia Ning?

Today is the last day of the deadline. How can she talk with her father?

Mei Ruo looks distressed while Zheng Yao also feels shocked. Xia Ning’s uncle is Dai Zhen. Even though she dislikes Xia Ning and even hates her, she has to consider Dai Zhen first before any actions!

Maybe Dai Zhen is aware of the changes there. He makes a light cough. Then, he turns to Xia Ning, “Niece, I may deal with some things first.”

Then, He turns around and goes back to the host seat. He looks gray on his face. In an instant, the sentimentally excited expression on his face has disappeared.

“Zheng Yao.” Dai Zhen says coldly, “To be honest, I knew clearly what happened between Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning a long time ago. You said that my niece had been trying all kinds of tricks and used all means to become the daughter-in-law of the Yi family. I may ask you. Do you look down upon my niece because of her inferior family background? Is she not good enough for your son? Or, do you look down upon me for being inferior to you in family background?”

The two questions shock Zheng Yao at once. She fails to respond. Her face turns red and then white. If she had known that Xia Ning’s uncle was Dai Zhen, she wouldn’t have drawn the issue to such serious condition.

Anyway, Dai Zhen was one of the first capitalists in China. The prosperity of the country owes much to him. Those who meet him all have to show him respect. Dai family and Yi family both grew from the Red Army. They are perfect matches. If Xia Ning’s identity is spread, then, what Zheng Yao has said will simply become a big joke!

Anyway, doesn’t Xia Ning also get to know that Dai Zhen is her uncle till now?

Thinking about this, Zheng Yao says seriously, “Dai Zhen, before we came here, Xia Ning didn’t know that you were her uncle. When she was five, I did kick all her family away from B City. It was reasonable that she hated me. Over twenty years have passed. Why doesn’t she marry someone else instead of my son? It seemed that it took only a few days for them to get married at that time. It might sound humiliating that Xia Ning was dumped by the man surnamed Ou at that time. What Xia Ning did really make me suspicious of her! My reactions were reasonable and rational. Dai Zhen, do you think I was wrong?”
