Chapter 538: Chapter 0540: Confession

Lin Xue Mei saw Rao Ning approaching and quickly called out, "Xiao Ning, come and sit. What type of stroller do you like? Your father and I will go buy it for you tomorrow."

Lin Xue Mei genuinely liked her daughter-in-law, especially given Rao Ning’s background, which made Lin Xue Mei see Rao Ning as her own daughter.

Rao Ning, upon hearing Lin Xue Mei’s words, felt her eyes redden and her voice choked as she said, "Aunt, Uncle, Jianguo, I have something to tell you all."

"Go ahead, if you have any requests just mention them. Aunt promises to give you a lavish wedding into the He Family," Lin Xue Mei replied.

"Mom, I’m a national officer, how can I be lavish." He Jianguo answered.

Lin Xue Mei glared at He Jianguo and said, "National officers aren’t forbidden to marry. At worst we won’t take any gifts, I can ask your father to invite the Disciplinary Committee to supervise. I still have a say in your wedding, you stay out of it."

He Zhen, hearing his spouse’s words, nodded and said, "That works. We can’t mistreat the girl. Just because you’re a national officer doesn’t mean she has to marry you quietly. I can invite the Disciplinary Committee and the media to come and celebrate the wedding."

Once his father spoke, He Jianguo had no choice but to listen.

He Jianguo bowed his head in silence, while Rao Ning was completely choked up.

"Xiao Ning, what’s wrong? Did this boy bully you, telling you there won’t be a wedding? Don’t worry Xiao Ning, it’s not up to him to decide in this house, we are not dead yet," Lin Xue Mei fiercely glared at He Jianguo and said.

He Jianguo had indeed said that, but he did not expect his parents to overturn it.

Rao Ning shook her head and said, "Aunt, Uncle, that’s not what I wanted to talk about."

Lin Xue Mei said, "Then Xiao Ning, whatever it is, go ahead and speak."

Then, Rao Ning revealed her own origins and everything she had said to Chu Feng.

Rao Ning’s words were like a bolt from the blue, neither He Zhen nor Lin Xue Mei had expected their favored daughter-in-law to have almost killed their son. Their daughter-in-law was actually a spy.

He Jianguo’s expression also turned somewhat unsightly, but being in a high position, he kept his composure. However, his fists were clenched tightly, clearly suppressing his emotions.

Xie Mengying also hadn’t expected Rao Ning, who seemed so gentle and calm, to be an assassin, moreover one from abroad.

Chu Feng, seeing Rao Ning already in tears, really did not want to break them apart.

Chu Feng began, "Brother, Sister-in-law, I only just found out about this myself. I’ve talked with Rao Ning, and she truly loves Jianguo. What she did was to protect Jianguo. I told her that if she didn’t want to tell Jianguo, I would keep this secret for her forever. But she chose to confess, which at least shows her sincerity."

"Smack!"

He Zhen directly slapped the tea table in front of him, drawing everyone’s attention.

Especially He Jianguo, who looked at his father with concern and hope. He didn’t know what his father would decide for Rao Ning, but deep down, he hoped his father would forgive her.

"Old man..."

Lin Xue Mei was about to speak, but was silenced by the authority in He Zhen’s expression.

While He Zhen is usually under Lin Xue Mei’s thumb at home, it’s out of love not fear. When faced with serious issues, Lin Xue Mei still listened to He Zhen.

"Dad, this is my fault," He Jianguo said.

He Zhen glared at He Jianguo and countered, "The fault does indeed lie with you. If under your governance such a thing could happen, if not your fault, whose is it? These beasts harbor the intent to destroy us, and you haven’t done anything about it?"

Jianguo bowed his head and said, "Dad, it was my dereliction of duty."

Lin Xue Mei seemed to detect something in his tone and cautiously asked, "Old man, are you saying that Xiao Ning did nothing wrong?"

He Zhen said, "Xiao Ning was wrong, her mistake was in her concealment. However, the main responsibility is not hers. The fact that she could abandon the darkness for the light already shows that her conscience is not lost, that she remains a good kid. Our party and country can forgive such mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue Mei joyfully said, "Old man, you always preach to me about the Great Tao, but this is the principle I like to hear the most."

Hearing his father’s words, Jianguo also sighed in relief.

Rao Ning, upon hearing He Zhen’s words, burst into weeping and said, "Uncle, thank you."

He Zhen raised his hand and looked at Jianguo, saying, "Jianguo, you are already an adult. You can make your own decisions. Now that Xiao Ning’s identity is as it is, if you still love her and want to marry her, I, as a father, will fully support you."

Lin Xue Mei said, "Mom supports you too."

Hearing his father’s words, Jianguo, however, fell silent.

Rao Ning, upon hearing these words, really felt beyond consolation.

"Uncle, Aunt, I am not worthy of Jianguo. I do not deserve to be your daughter-in-law," Rao Ning said before she prepared to leave.

"Wait." Seeing Rao Ning about to leave, Jianguo stopped her.

Rao Ning turned around and said, "Jianguo, you can find someone better."

Jianguo, in a rare gentle tone, said, "I have already found the best. No matter what, I am willing to marry you. If you are willing, let’s go register tomorrow."

Upon hearing Jianguo’s words, Rao Ning threw herself into his arms.

Everyone was greatly pleased, such an ending is what the people of Huaxia like to see most.

"Xiao Ning, there are still some matters that you need to explain to the relevant departments to avoid a lot of trouble in the future," He Zhen said.

Chu Feng said, "Big brother, this issue is easy to resolve. I’ll just give Dragon Soul a heads up. Considering Xiao Ning switched sides, she can be treated as an insider."

Lin Xue Mei joyfully said, "That would be the best, saving a lot of trouble."

He Zhen said, "Then I’ll leave this matter to you, little brother."

Chu Feng said, "Big brother, do you still need to be so polite with me? Wait two days, and I’ll help you pick an auspicious day, then you can proceed with the ceremony."

"That sounds good, let’s get it done quickly, let’s hurry up and look forward to having grandchildren," Lin Xue Mei said.

Rao Ning, too, shyly lowered her head upon hearing this.

Chu Feng and Xie Mengying stayed for dinner before leaving. Just before they stepped out, He Zhen stopped Chu Feng, handing him a bottle of vintage wine, and said, "You’re going to Yanjing next month. Take this bottle of wine and pay a visit to Old Man Huang for me."

Chu Feng understood He Zhen’s concern; He Zhen was worried about him facing difficulties in Yanjing, so he specifically asked him to take a bottle of wine to visit Elder Huang.

Chu Feng laughed and said, "Big brother, you don’t have to tell me; I would have gone anyway. I’m unfamiliar with Yanjing; what if someone bullies me?"
