Chapter 460 - You Are My Niece (1/2)
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.
