Chapter 431 The Storm Is Approaching
Xia Ning hears Zhou Mengyao mention Gu Luan . She feels her heart tightened . What happened some days ago pops up in her brain .
Xia Ning grits her teeth . She takes up the warm milk from the servant for a mouthful and says, “I have to tell Rui about that . ”
Zhou Mengyao lifts her eyebrows, admiring Xia Ning’s reaction in her heart .
When something like that happens, most women will choose to hide it or cover it up with whatever they can . But Xia Ning reacts to it directly . The event can’t be hidden . If she doesn’t take any initiative reactions, when Yi Yunrui finds it out, she will be put in a passive position .
“What about Gu Luan? How do you like to deal with him? Ning, you may tell me your decision . I will help you to totally get rid of him . ”
Xia Ning darkens her eyes . Gu Luan has a powerful background . Anything done to him will bring great influence . Now, Yi Yunrui hasn’t finished dealing with his case . It is unsuitable for her to bring any other changes to him .
Even though she is really unhappy .
“Aunt Zhou, Thank you . But I don’t know much about strategies . I may discuss it after Rui comes back . I am afraid that I may bring any trouble to him . ”
Zhou Mengyao smiles, “You silly . You surely know . But you choose not to tell . You know everything . In my opinion, you may feel easy to do what you want to do in the future . You are like an uncut jade . You will make brilliant achievements . ”
Xia Ning is destined to stand in the focus . But she is not aware of it at present .
Xia Ning feels shy . She smiles, “Aunt Zhou, maybe you are right . However, it must take a lot of time and patience to make the uncut stone into a real jade . ”
“It is all right, I have enough patience . ” Saying this, Zhou Mengyao holds Xia Ning’s hand, “Ning, I suddenly have an idea . May I speak it out?”
“Aunt Zhou, please go ahead . ”
Zhou Mengyao stares at Xia Ning for quite a while, “I want to adopt you to be my daughter . I mean in the legal way . ”
Xia Ning feels surprised to hear her words, “Well…Well . Aunt Zhou, that’s way above my station . ”
“What are you saying?” Zhou Mengyao gently pats her hand, “Actually, it is my honor . I am serious . I want very much to have a daughter . When I am old, I will have someone to talk and chat with me . I hope you don’t feel annoyed with me . ”
Xia Ning hesitates . As a matter of fact, Aunt Zhou is so kind to her . There are totally no problems for her to have Aunt Zhou as her godmother . She likes Aunt Zhou very much . She feels as if Aunt Zhou is a family of her .
But there are conflicts and misunderstandings between Aunt Zhou and her mother-in-law . If Aunt Zhou legally adopts her, her mother-in-law will surely fly into a rage .
Zhou Mengyao is aware of Xia Ning’s hesitation . She can guess the reasons . She says, “Don’t worry . It is not urgent . Ning, you may think about it . I will wait for your response . ”
At the time, Zhou Mengyao’s phone rings . She glances at the number and freezes her eyes . She lifts to smile at Xia Ning, “Ning, I have something to deal with . You may have a rest . Let me know if you need anything . ”
Xia Ning nods, “Aunt Zhou, OK . ”
Zheng Mengyao goes out of the room hurriedly . She turns to go into a room equipped with a muffler and presses the answer button .
“You’ve got a wife here . Why do you call me instead of her?”
“Aunt Zhou, I want to ask you for a favor . ” The voice at the other end sounds deep and magnetic . It is Yi Yunrui .
Zhou Mengyao’s eyes gleam . There’s something unusual in Yi Yunrui’s tone . Zhou Mengyao has an ominous feeling .
“Go ahead . ”
“I can’t go back very soon . During the time, please help me to take care of Ning . It is a little urgent here . I have talked with the military department . You may tell Zhang Hai if you need to have some people there . ”
Hearing this, Zhou Mengyao frowns . Need to ask for help from the military department? Seemingly, there is going to be something abnormal!
“OK . I will try my best to protect Ning . But, Rui, Ning is waiting for you to come back . You have to take good care of yourself . Be safe! Or, even I will be angry with you!”
Yi Yunrui gently smiles, “I see . Aunt Zhou, don’t worry . I will come back safely . Thank you for everything during the time . ”
Then, hurriedly, Yi Yunrui hangs up the phone .

Zhou Mengyao puts the phone aside . Her face darkens .
It is rarely necessary to get the army involved, unless there is a risk of losing lives…
Thinking about this, Zhou Mengyao freezes her eyes . She purses her lips and makes up her mind .
It is getting dark . The night comes to cover the ground . Everywhere is in darkness .
Not far away, there are black clouds . Lightning flashes . A storm is approaching…
The next day .
It is in the Media Building of World Era Weekly .
“Director Gu, President Zhou of Junhao Group wants to meet you . She is waiting outside . ” Zhou comes in hurriedly . He looks anxious .
Gu Luan puts down the files in his hand . As if he is thinking about something, he responds, “Hum . Invite president Zhou to come in . ”
Zhou purses his lips . He hesitates, “Director, President Zhou is not alone…”
“I see . Ask her to come in . Don’t make her wait outside . It is impolite . ”
“Yes…”
Soon, Zhou Mengyao comes in the director office, followed by two bodyguards . Zhou glances at Gu Luan . Gu Luan winks at him and he leaves worriedly .
“President Zhou…”
“Director Gu . ” Not waiting for Gu Luan to finish his words, Zhou Mengyao waves her hand to interrupt, “We may not beat around the bush . Let’s go to the point . Some days ago, Ning was injured because of you . Am I right?”

“Yes . Ning was injured because of me . President Zhou, do you come to find justice for her?”
Zhou Mengyao sits down . She puts down her handbag on the desk, “Surely we will get the justice, but not now . ”
Gu Luan doesn’t understand Zhou Mengyao’s meaning . He asks confusedly, “President Zhou, then why do you come here?”
“Ning is pregnant . Do you know?”
When this issue is mentioned, Xia Ning feels heartache . He nods .
Zhou Mengyao gives a sigh . She says seriously, “Director Gu, I know you like Xia Ning very much . You have the freedom to love . However, I don’t agree with you on the methods you used . Today, I am not coming to criticize you or give you any lectures . I want to negotiate with you about something . ”
“Negotiate?” Gu Luan wonders why negotiation needs to go on with bodyguards here .
Zhou Mengyao is aware of Gu Luan’s confusion . She frankly says, “I received a call from Yi Yunrui last evening . He told me that it was tense over there and he couldn’t take care of the situation in C City . Then, he asked me to take good care of Ning . He said that if it was necessary, I could ask for help from the army . ”
Zhou Mengyao deliberately pauses here to inspect Gu Luan’s reactions .
Gu Luan listens carefully . When he hears the word Army, he changes his face! He anxiously asks, “Does anything serious happen? I mean, anything about Ning?”
Unsurprisingly, Gu Luan is very concerned about Ning . He likes Ning keenly, too .
“Temporarily, I am not clear . Rui didn’t say . But in my opinion, I may not be able to find out the truth by myself . ” Zhou Mengyao gets closer to Gu Luan when she says, “Director Gu, you are the most well-informed person . Can you give me a hand in that?”
“Sure!” Without any hesitation, Gu Luan nods to agree .
“Then, thank you . ” Zhou Mengyao suddenly changes the topic, “Well . I have to remind you . I know what you did to Ning . I am seriously warning you . If you ever dare to do it again, I won’t have any mercy on you . Director Gu, I know your background . However, you also need to know . I seldom do anything to other people, but if I do, no one can help you at all . ”
Gu Luan darkens his eyes . He looks at Zhou Mengyao into her eyes . The air around smells like gunpowder .

After quite a while, Gu Luan slowly says, “I will be responsible for what I have done . President Zhou, someone has already told me the words you said . I am very clear about the consequences . President Zhou, you don’t need to remind me of that . ”
Zhou Mengyao lifts her eyebrows, “Good . It is great to talk with a clever man and I don’t need to make unnecessary explanations . That is all I want to say . The most important thing at present is that when Yi Yunrui is away, we take good care of Ning . If you find out any information or know any actions, please ensure to inform me at once . ”
It is Yi Yunrui again!
Gu Luan grits his teeth and nods .
When Zhou Mengyao comes back to her villa, Zhang Hai is standing outside the door with a few army vehicles behind . Zhang Hai sees Zhou Mengyao . He goes to her at once, “President Zhou, I bring these soldiers here . There are more to come soon . If you agree, I may ask them to go inside . ”
There are already three vehicles here and there are more to come . Zhou Mengyao nods, “Zhang Hai, it’d better not let Ning know anything . I suggest that we may arrange the protection outside the house only . Even if it is necessary, I hope they can change their clothes . Ning is pregnant . I don’t want to scare her . ”
Zhang Hai thinks for a while . He agrees . He nods, “We will do as you say . ”
Zhou Mengyao’s villa is large . There are many soldiers standing around it . Some soldiers change their clothes . They pretend to be servants and enter the villa .
“Ning . ” Zhou Mengyao goes into Xia Ning’s room . She smiles, “I hire some people today to do the cleaning of the villa . It may be a little noisy these days . Do you mind?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “Aunt Zhou, you don’t need to worry about me . You may go ahead with anything as you like . ”
Zhou Mengyao nods . She is just going to speak something else when the steward comes to her nervously, “Madam . ” He glances at Xia Ning and goes to whisper by Zhou Mengyao’s ear .
Zhou Mengyao freezes her face at once!
