“Zixuan…” Zoe shook her arm.
“I can’t control what you want to do, and I don’t care, but it’s none of my business. I didn’t do anything to the kid.” Zixuan didn’t want to compromise, and it wasn’t her who pushed Fei, so why should she admit to something that wasn’t her fault and be charged with intentional homicide?
“Zixuan, it’s my fault, but you asked me to go and left Fei behind.” Zoe felt sad when she had lost a reliable friend.
“That’s because you needed me to help you, and didn’t you tell me what was what you wanted?” Zixuan asked Zoe.
“Zixuan, you can’t do this.” Zoe almost cried, “I did what you told me…”
“But it was you who wanted to confess. If you do that, it means you are suspicious of intentional murder. I didn’t kill anyone. Why should I admit it? Zoe, I helped you but now you’re getting me into trouble.” Zixuan turned away, not wanting to face Zoe.
“I didn’t mean to kill anyone. It was an accident…” Zoe emphasized.
“Zoe, you are a member of the Wang family. Mr. Qiren and Miss Liying will be protecting you. No matter how angry Brother Yibo is, he has to listen to Mr. Qiren, and he will not send you to the police station. What about me? I am nothing to him…”
“Zixuan… Don’t be sad.” Zoe saw Zixuan so sad for the first time, and there was no light in her beautiful eyes. “My brother is temporarily fascinated by that person, and he… he… When he wakes up to the reality, he will know how good you are, and that you are the one who loves him most.”
The sadness in Zixuan’s eyes deepened. She looked sideways at Zoe, then turned around and hugged her gently, “Zoe, will this day really happen? I feel like I’ve lost him forever….”
“Yibo protected me from being bullied, but now it is he who bullies me… Zoe, I’m not his favorite sister anymore…”
Zixuan slowly closed her eyes, tears running out of her eyes…
Zoe took a piece of tissue and wiped her tears. “Zixuan, don’t cry…. It makes my heart ache.”
“I feel so bad…” Zixuan took the tissue from her hand and wiped her tears. “Now he’s thought that I’m the one who harmed Fei. But never mind, if he comes next time, I’ll just admit I did it. He doesn’t care anyway.”
“One of us should be innocent. Since he doubted me, then I will just admit it. Zoe, you don’t need to say anything. I will take it all.” Zixuan gave a wry smile. “I just want you to be fine. You’re a student, and you’re his sister. He won’t hurt you if I admit it.”
“Zixuan, what are you talking about? It has nothing to do with you.” Zoe said. “Besides, it’s not your fault. You don’t have to do this, or my brother will be even angrier with you, and then you will have no chance to fight with that person.”
“I don’t want you to do this for me. If you’re guilty, you’ll never get my brother’s forgiveness, so let’s be honest about it.” Zoe said..
“I am the elder sister, listen to me.” Zixuan stroked the Zoe’s hair.
“Don’t force yourself.”
“No, let me protect you this time.” Zoe acted bravely.
“Zoe… You’ve grown up.”
The deep smile in Zixuan’s eyes was invisible to Zoe. Zoe was so simple that she was fooled by Zixuan’s pitiful words.
Zixuan was more experienced and cunny than Zoe.
She loved Yibo so much. How could she leave the worst side in his heart? She couldn’t let him think that she was a jesuitical and cruel woman who could ignore a child.
Someone had to take the blame, and Zoe was the right person to do it. Besides, Zoe was the one who pushed Fei down, so there was nothing wrong with her standing up and admitting it.
After Fei fainted, Fei did not know that Zixuan asked Zoe to leave together and did not call the ambulance.
And even if we did confront Fei, she would only point to Zoe and push her, not her.
So, she didn’t have a guilty conscience.
***
Two more days passed, and it was already the seventh day. Zoe felt very desperate.
“Zixuan, it’s been a week, and Brother hasn’t come. Is he going to keep us here forever?” Zoe looked at Zixuan, who was doing simple exercises, and was very upset.
“Well, don’t think about him. If he doesn’t come, then don’t come here. We have drinks, food and servants to serve for us. We just can’t get out of this house, and can’t communicate with the outside world. We should keep our good mood.” Zixuan was doing exercises.
“I don’t want to be locked up here. I want to go home. I want to go back to school…” Zoe was so upset that she couldn’t feel relaxed. She took a few steps toward the curved door of the living room. “Go tell my brother that I want to talk to him.”
As soon as Zoe finishes her words, she heard the door was opening in the hallway and saw a handsome man walk in.
“So, you finally have something to say?” Yibo was dressed in casual clothes today. He looked more handsome and charming.
He didn’t come alone, but with Fei. After a week’s recuperation, the wound on Fei’s forehead was much better. The wound had already formed a scab, but she needed a band-aid to cover the wound.
“Brother… brother.”
When Zoe saw Yibo, she was afraid. Yibo took a few steps closer and she stepped back.
Yibo carried Fei over her into the living room and sat down.
Zixuan got up from her yoga mat, picked up the towel and wiped the sweat off her face and neck. She ignored Yibo and turned to go upstairs.
Zoe was sitting alone on the sofa and feeling stressed in front of Yibo, her fingers clasped together.
“Didn’t you want to tell me something? Go ahead.” Yibo looked at Zoe who lowered her eyes. “Maybe I’ll ask Fei to explain what happened.”
“Brother… I did it, but I didn’t mean to, I was careless.” Zoe could not resist the pressure anymore and said, “She came up to drag me. I didn’t want her to touch me, so I pushed her away. I really didn’t mean it. You have to believe that.”
“And… And I shouldn’t have lied to you, but I was too scared to tell the truth because I was afraid you would hit me, I’m sorry.”
“It’s not me who you should apologize.” Yibo’s hands rested on Fei’s thin shoulders.
Zoe glanced at Fei and felt embarrassed to apologize to a child.
Besides, Fei was younger than her. She wasn’t willing to lower her dignity.
“How? You don’t want to?” Yibo curled his thin lips and his voice was cold. “Indeed, apology is too light for you!”
Yibo’s tone was not too strong, but it was very powerful.
His words were like nails, which made Zoe tremble.”Zoe, don’t you realize how serious you’ve caused? Even if you didn’t mean to do it, you did push Fei to the coffee table, and she passed out and bled so much, didn’t you see it? Why didn’t you call ambulance, but ran away? Even if you didn’t call ambulance, you can come and tell me!”
“I might have been angry, but never as angry and desperate as I am now! You don’t give a damn about a person’s life! You just made such a hasty and cold-blooded decision for your selfish gain! You let me down, Zoe!”
“Though you are a hot-tempered girl, you have never been so cold-blooded! What you have done this time really made me disappointed! So I can’t forgive you! You must be punished for what you have done!”
“No, brother, I really realize that I was wrong. Don’t do that to me.” Zoe was scared by Yibo, and she was distraught.
“Otherwise, you’ll never grow up to know why you are wrong.” Yibo was more painful, “Are you going to the police station by yourself or shall I take you there?”
“Brother, please, don’t send me to the police station.” Zoe knelt in front of Yibo, tears uncontrollably rolling down her face, “Brother, I didn’t mean to do it. Can’t you forgive me for once?”
Yibo did not speak, Zoe saw that he was indifferent and then looked at Fei beside him.
This was her last hope. She was so anxious that she grabbed Fei’s hand and said, “Fei, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have pushed you. Can you forgive me this time? Will you beg your father for me?”
Fei looked at Zoe, who was crying hard, and looked at Yibo again. She was about to say something, but Yibo said, “This is between adults. Fei, sit there quietly.”
“Send Zoe away.” At Yibo’s command, the men in black appeared.
Zoe felt a sense of despair, “Brother, do you have to do so?”
“Does this concern only you?” Yibo asked her.
Zoe pressed her lips together. “It was me who pushed Fei…”
At this moment, the sound of high-heeled shoes came from the stair. Zixuan walked down slowly, holding the handrail of the stair, with elegant demeanor and outstanding disposition.
She had taken a bath, changed into a dress, the design of the dress perfectly showed her sexy and hot figure.
“Brother Yibo, Zoe is still a student. If you send her to prison, her future will be ruined. Would you really want to do that?” Zixuan stepped to the sofa in the living room and reached out to help Zoe who knelt on the ground.
However, Zoe did not dare to get up. Without Yibo’s forgiveness and approval, she really did not dare. If her brother said that he would send her to the police station, then he would.
She didn’t want to go there. She didn’t want to be locked up.
The confinement in this room for a week had driven her mad, and she had never longed so much for freedom, for the fresh air outside.
When Zixuan saw that Zoe did not get up, she had no choice but to loosen her grip and stand up straight.
She looked down at Yibo sitting on the sofa. She felt that he had a strong aura, which made her feel stressful.
She took a deep breath and kept reminding herself to be calm and not to panic, otherwise she would be in a mess. “Brother Yibo, look how scared Zoe is. Please ask her to stand up.”
“When did I frighten her?” Yibo tilted his head back slightly and looked at Zixuan’s calm face.
Zixuan had no choice but to look at Fei, bent slightly, and smiled to her, “Fei, she is your aunt. You are a family. Do you want your family to have quarrels with each other? Comfort your dad not to be angry.”
Fei looked at Yibo and tugged at his sleeve. “Daddy, don’t be angry about me.”
“I’m not angry.” Yibo reached out and touched her head.
“Fei, can you forgive your aunt? She really didn’t mean that. Auntie knows you’re the kindest. Your aunt has admitted she was wrong. It is not too late to know the mistake, isn’t it?” Zixuan kept talking to Fei, hoping that Fei could forgive Zoe, which could leave Yibo having no objection.
“Kindness is given to those who are also kind.” Yibo defended his daughter, saying, “She doesn’t need to forgive someone who could have saved her but didn’t!”
There was a knock on the door and the men in black saw the person on the videophone, “Mr. Wang, it’s Mrs. Wang.”
“Why is he here?” Yibo didn’t tell Zhan he was here.
When he took Fei away, he found the perfect reason to convince Zhan, and the point was, how did Zhan find here?
“Yibo, I know you’re in there. Open the door!” Zhan’s voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a knock.
Listening to the sound, and looking at the door, Zixuan had already wondered what Mrs. Wang was like!
How could he dare yell at Yibo, and Yibo didn’t seem to care at all?
“Let him in.” Since Zhan could follow him, Yibo had to let him in.
The men in black opened the door and Zhan entered.
Zhan wore a simple clothes. he looked very young and beautiful, He was simple, elegant, and pure.
In a word, Zhan gave people a very clean and comfortable feeling.
And he could easily attract the attention of others.
This was the first time Zixuan met Zhan. Although Zhan was not as charming and flirtatious as herself, he was as simple and natural.
She couldn’t help but admit that Zhan was really special, No wonder Yibo was attracted by him.
Zixuan was unwilling to submit, so she looked at Zhan with a hint of hostility in her eyes.
“Mom.” Fei had run to Zhan’s slender legs, and hugged him.
Zhan squatted down carefully, “You just recovered from the injury. Be careful and do not to run.”
Fei really forgot the pain when her wound was cured. She stuck her tongue out in embarrassment.
Zhan pinched her little cheek, then stood up and took her hand.
Yibo walked over and said, “Go sit down.”
He did not ask why Zhan had come. After all, there were other people present and he did not want to argue with him.
Zhan looked at Zixuan, and then said in a soft and sweet tone, “Darling, don’t you want to introduce this beautiful lady?”
He knew Zoe, but Zixuan was a stranger to him. He was curious what her relationship with Yibo.
Yibo put his hand on Zhan’s shoulder and pulled him closer to him, “Honey, her name is Qiu Zixuan. As I told you, the Wang family and the Qiu family have been friends for generations. I have always regarded her as a sister like Zoe since we were kids.”
“Zixuan, this is my wife Zhan. If you call me brother, you can call him brother-in-law.”
“Nice to meet you, Miss Qiu.” Zhan greeted her with a smile.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhan.” Zixuan couldn’t call him brother-in-law.
She didn’t even want to call Mrs. Wang. Zixuan then picked Zoe up again, and this time Zoe got up and sat down on the sofa.
She put up her hand and wiped away tears on her face so Zhan wouldn’t see it.
“What’s wrong with Zoe? Who bullied you?” Zhan asked.
“No… It’s all right.” Zoe rarely replied Zhan.
Zhan looked at Yibo and put his hand on Yibo’s arm to declare his ownership of Yibo. “Honey, you are Zoe’s brother. How could you not care about it?”
“I am the one who bullied her.” Yibo said.
“What do you mean?” Zhan’s eyes flashed with shock.
“Zoe, tell it yourself.” Yibo took Zhan’s hand and took him to the sofa and sat down.
Zoe had no choice but to confess, “Zhan, I’m… I’m sorry. It’s my fault. It’s my fault that Fei got hurt…”
Zoe told Zhan the whole story again. Zhan’s face grew more and more sulky as he listened to the story. His heart ached and he pressed his lips crying when hearing Zoe’s explanation.
“Brother-in-law, please don’t let my brother send me to the police station, please. I know I was wrong….” She begged Zhan again and again.
She knew that Yibo cared about Zhan and that what Zhan said would carry more weight.
But Zhan frowned, with pain in his eyes, “I am not a goddess who can be kind to you even after you hurt my daughter so much, I am just a mother who loves his child, and what you did is not a small mistake. You do not take human life seriously! If you do something wrong, you should pay for your own mistake. No one can help you!”
“You should pay the price for it.” Yibo added.
When Zoe saw that they both refused her, and not gave her any chance for regrets, she felt that they were too cold-blooded and heartless!
“Brother Yibo, Mr Zhan, Zoe panicked when she saw Fei hurt. The first thing she did was to leave. That is human instinct! She did not mean to do it. Why must she be criticized like this! Is she really so wicked?” Zixuan tried to help Zoe, “Mr Zhan, be lenient with others!”
“So, what Miss Qiu meant is that I am being unreasonable?” Zhan frowned.
“You haven’t been a mother. You don’t know what a mother feels like! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a person who takes mistake for granted!”
“That’s the end of the matter.” Yibo didn’t want to delay any longer. “Take her away.”
“Well, if you really want to send Zoe to the police station, you have to receive my approval. I won’t agree, anyway!” Zixuan stood in front of Zoe; her arms outstretched behind her. “Just come at me.”
The men in black approached Zixuan, and she retreated a little until she was cornered, “If you dare to be presumptuous, I will sue you for sexually harassing me!”
Zoe was very moved when she saw Zixuan so protective of her, and at the same time, her resentment against Zhan increased.
“Zixuan….”
“Don’t be afraid. Don’t cry. I will be with you.” Zixuan encouraged her. “It’s no use crying. They have made up their mind.”
The men in black came forward and deftly grabbed Zixuan’s wrist and pulled her away from Zoe and controlled her. She tried to struggle but it didn’t work.
“Let go of me! Did you hear me?” Zixuan commanded the men in black and felt embarrassed to be touched by them, especially in front of Zhan.
The first time to meet with her rival in love, she did not keep the weather, but looked embarrassed.
The men in black would not listen to her commands, and had her firmly in their grip.
On the other side, the men in black had already picked Zoe up from the sofa and were about to take her out.
“Zixuan! Help me! I don’t want to go to the police station!” Zoe was terrified.
Zixuan looked at Zoe being taken away, but she could do nothing. She gritted her teeth and said, “Brother Yibo, since you don’t let Zoe go, please send me away with her! I can’t help Zoe, so I might as well stay with her.”
“Does Fei’s injury have anything to do with you? I’ll send you there without your asking.” Yibo stared at Zixuan.
Zixuan was stunned.
She was really afraid that Yibo would suspect her, so she had to change the subject, “Brother Yibo, you have no evidence, why do you send Zoe to the police station? Are you going to take what a five-year-old child has said as proof?”
“Zoe has admitted everything herself. Didn’t you hear that?” Yibo asked her.
“What if she does? There’s no witness to prove it!” Zixuan looked at Zoe. “Zoe, when you get to the police station, don’t say anything and don’t admit anything until the lawyer comes! They won’t do anything!”
“Proof?” Yibo pulled out a black voice recorder from the inside of his casual jacket. “Everything Zoe just said is in here. Why didn’t I come here until seven days later? Do you think I’d come here unprepared?”
Zixuan looked shocked. She couldn’t believe it.
How could she have forgotten that? Yibo was very thoughtful and careful. All of a sudden, she was like a peacock losing its advantage, and her pride was gone.
They lost out to their own thoughtlessness.
She could only watch as Zoe was taken away.
Yibo made a gesture to the men in black to ask them to let go of Zixuan. She lost her support and slowly sat down on the sofa. She still wanted to keep her last bit of grace in this most awkward moment.
Yibo walked over and cast a shadow on her face. “Zixuan, I know Zoe’s character. I hope you have nothing to do with it, or I won’t give you any chance.”
This was a warning.
Zixuan looked into his deep and felt as if she would drown in it…
“Let’s go.” Yibo said to Zhan and Fei.
Zixuan sat there, watching Yibo and Zhan walk away with Fei, hand in hand with each other. The back of the three of them looked so sweet.
Yibo was not cold and heartless with Zhan and Fei. Instead, he was gentle and affectionate as a husband and a father.
And those men in black clothes also left.
The whole mansion was empty, and there was no liveliness or bustle here, which was as cold as if it was an ice cellar.
Zixuan’s vision began to blur, and then her tears flowed down her face like broken beads.
She bit her lips to stop herself from crying…
Why? Why? Why?
She kept asking herself why would it became like this? What was the good of Zhan? Why could he get tenderness and love from Yibo, but she was treated indifferently and even hurt by him mercilessly.
She was not going to give up. Things became like this was because of that person and that kid!
It took Zixuan a while to collect herself.
The first thing she did was pick up the phone they had given her when they left.
She called Qiren immediately. When he answered the phone, she suppressed her tears and said, “Mr. Qiren, there is something I have to tell you.”
And then she burst out crying.
Qiren asked, “Dear Zixuan, don’t you cry. What’s going on? I will help you! Who dares to bully our little princess?”
“Mr. Qiren, listen to me. Here’s the thing… ” Zixuan briefed the story and emphasized, “It was Zhan who insisted on making Zoe pay for the price, and now Zoe’s in the police station… Mr. Qiren, you must save Zoe… I don’t want anything to happen to Zoe.”
Qiren was shocked when he heard the news. He had not expected such a result.
Holding back his anger, he asked, “What about Yibo? What’s his attitude?”
Qiren wondered how his son would react.
“Mr. Qiren, To put it mildly, Brother Yibo respected Zhan. To put it bluntly, he does everything Zhan wants him to do.” Zixuan was very crafty.
Qiren did not speak, but he sighed.
She twitched her lips a little triumphantly when she heard him sigh, and she knew she had hit the point.
“I have persuaded Brother Yibo to forgive Zoe’s carelessness for sake of their relationship, but Brother Yibo and Zhan have made up their minds… I don’t know what to do, so I have to call you for advice…”
Zixuan pretended to try her best, “Mr. Qiren, I am incompetent. I can’t persuade Brother Yibo, and I can’t help Zoe. They are brother and sister, and they are hurting each other by doing this. It will make Ms. Liying sad if she knows this and the outsiders will laugh at them… Mr. Qiren, what shall I do?”
“It’s not your fault. You did your best. It was Yibo… Where are you now?” Qiren changed the subject in the middle of his words.
“In Chongqing.” Zixuan stopped crying.
“Wait there, I’ll call you later.” Qiren hung up the phone.
Zixuan held the phone and hooked her lips.
She didn’t believe that no one could handle Zhan.
Zhan dared to do this to Zoe, she would see how the Wang family would deal with Zhan.
***
Qiren also felt upset. He didn’t know what Yibo would do.
After some hesitation, he called Yibo.
After more than ten seconds, Yibo answered the phone, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
“You brat, can’t I call you for nothing?” Qiren shouted.
“Dad, if you’re coming to me about Zoe, there’s nothing to talk about.” How could Yibo not know the reason for Qiren’s call?
“Watch your attitude.” Qiren was somewhat displeased by what he had said.
“Dad, you know your son. There are some things that cannot be spared.” Yibo interrupted Qiren, denying him the chance to talk about Zoe. “I’m driving, and that’s it.”
“Hey… Yibo…” Qiren was so angry that he threw the phone away.
He hadn’t said anything before his son hang up the phone.
Couldn’t his son leave him some face?
Liying brought her freshly-made tea, “What’s wrong with you? Why frown? Is there anything wrong?”
She put the tea away and sat down. “The doctor advised you to relax and don’t think too much.”
“Liying, We have to go to Chongqing.” Qiren thought about it and decided that it was the only way.
He must go to Chongqing to have a face-to-face talk with his son about Zoe, otherwise no one could help Zoe.
***
At Chongqing, after getting off private plane, Qiren told Liying about Zoe on the way. After all, she would know it when she saw Zixuan and Yibo later.
So, it’d be better for her to know the story from him, not from others.
Liying said nothing but squeezed Qiren’s hand, while Qiren reached over her shoulder and asked her to lean against him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. Zoe won’t be wronged.” Qiren held her shoulder.
Liying nodded in his arms. “But don’t get biased if Zoe has done that. I hope she can take the blame for what she did, instead of our fixing it for her, which is not good for her.”
“I see.” Qiren comforted her, “I don’t think Zoe would do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding.”
“I hope it’s just a misunderstanding.” Liying hoped so.
***
They picked up Zixuan and went to Cloud Recesses Community to look for Yibo.
When Yibo saw his father, he twirled his thin lips and said, “I didn’t expect you to come so soon.”
Qiren snorted coldly, not giving him a good look.
“Well, dad, I can’t welcome you to come to my home with you looking like this.” Yibo stood in front of the door, without any intention to let Qiren in.
“It’s the same talking about it at the door.” Qiren didn’t force Yibo to make way.
“Yibo, your father is old and in poor health. He has taken two hours to fly here and is very tired. Do you bear to let him stand by the door?” Liying twisted her eyebrows.
“I’m not the one who made him fly here for two hours.” Yibo’s cold eyes scanned Zixuan behind them.
“Brother Yibo, Zoe is the daughter of Mr. Qiren and Ms. Liying, and they have the right to know about it.” Zixuan ventured.
Yibo just curled his lips slightly. It was a smile of sarcasm.
He saw Zixuan’s mind. He knew that she could not control him, so she had to ask his father to control him. After all, Qiren was his own father. With his father and his stepmother here, he would more or less make some concession.
However, Zixuan forgot that he was Yibo and he would do what he wanted.
“That was very thoughtful of Zixuan. I have to thank you.” Yibo looked at her and smiled, but that smile made Zixuan feel creepy.
Zixuan stood there in embarrassment and didn’t know where to put her hands, She knew she must have annoyed Yibo with her big mouth.
“Brother Yibo, I… that’s what I should do.” Zixuan bit her lips, knowing her excuse was unjustified.
“Yibo, who is here?” Zhan came over and saw Mr. Qiren and Ms. Liying and Zixuan standing at the door.
To her surprise, Qiren and Liying showed up in front of house at this moment. It seemed that Zixuan must have something to do with it.
Qiren and Liying looked at Zhan too, each with mixed feelings.
Zhan offered, “Dad, Ms, Liying, come in.”
“Do you think he wants us to come in?” Qiren glanced at Yibo, who still didn’t move away.
Smiling, Zhan reached out and pulled Yibo away, making way for him. “Dad, don’t bother with Yibo. He’s just being childish.”
“What do you mean?” Yibo asked with displeasure.
Zhan ignored him and let Qiren and Liying go in first, with Zixuan following Qiren and Liying.
Zhan followed and Yibo chased after him, “Tell me, what do you mean?”
“I mean, you are handsome and easy to attract anyone’s attention.” Zhan comforted him and satisfied Yibo’s pride.
Yibo smiled happily. “Did you like that?”
“Sure.” Zhan felt that Yibo was like a child of three and could only be coaxed patiently.
Zixuan, who was not far away from them, heard their conversation, especially Yibo’s gentle voice. She felt as if she had been choked by the affection.
Qiren entered the living room with Liying and Zixuan. Zhan made tea for them, respectfully and attentively.
“Dad, Ms. Liying, have you eaten yet?” Zhan asked carefully.
“I’ve had some food on the plane, so I’m not hungry now.” Liying answered.
“Oh. That won’t work. I’ll cook you some dishes.” Zhan got up and started to get busy.
“You needn’t do anything. Sit down.” Qiren said.
“It’s your first time have come here. We have to treat you well.” Zhan didn’t think it was appropriate.
Yibo took Zhan by the hand. “There’s everything on a private jet, so don’t worry about it.”
Zhan turned to look at Yibo… Private jet.
Forgive that poverty had limited his imagination. Zhan never thought they flied here by a private jet. If so, they must be treated well.
After a hundred years of accumulation and expansion, the Wang family was fabulously wealthy, and it was natural that they owned a private jet. It was just that Zhan was a little too fussy.
Zhan sat down on the sofa again, while Zixuan had a twinkle of sarcasm in her eyes, thinking that Zhan was such a clodhopper. He didn’t even know this. There was a big gap between him and Yibo, so he couldn’t join their circle at all.
She really didn’t know why Yibo was attracted to him, except that he was clean and outstanding.
“Today we’re here to see you about Zoe.” Qiren got straight to the point. “I’ve heard all about it from Zixuan. As the parent of the Wang family, I hope that the family can live in peace and in harmony.”
“It is true that Zoe made a mistake in this matter, but she didn’t mean it. For the sake of Ms. Liying and me, I hope she can be let go this time. And she’ll learn something from it and she won’t do it again.”
“Dad, this matter is not as easy as you think. It is human life!” Yibo disagreed..
“I wasn’t asking you. I was asking Zhan.” Qiren looked at Zhan, hoping he would say something.
“Dad, you can’t force him.” Yibo defended his wife. “I have the final say on this matter.”
“Yibo, Zoe is your sister, the daughter of Ms. Liying, and my daughter. You can’t do this to her. Do you ever think what people may say when the news spreads? Is it proper to say that Yibo is heartless, suppressing his stepmother’s daughter?” Qiren frowned.
“I’ve had a lot of dirty water splashed on me. And I never care what others say.” Yibo didn’t want Zhan to be wronged. He would rather bear anything.
“You don’t care? What about the century-old reputation of the Wang Family? And you don’t care either?” Qiren was disappointed at Yibo’s disregard of the Wang family.
“What I care about is that my daughter has been hurt, and as a father I have to bring fair back for her.” Yibo’s words were so powerful and rational that there was no way to refute him.
Zhan looked at Yibo, with a gentle and admiring look in his eyes. The man could always give him a strong sense of confidence and security.
He was never wronged when Yibo was here, nor was his daughter.
“As a father, I also want to ask for the best leniency for my daughter.” Qiren and Yibo were at war again, and the atmosphere got tensed.
Liying was afraid that they might fall out of harmony, so she said, “Honey, don’t make it hard for Yibo and Zhan. Let Zoe suffer for her mistakes.”
“No.” Qiren insisted.
“I don’t think so, either.” Yibo agreed with Qiren. “I wouldn’t let my daughter suffer this.”
“Is she your daughter?” Qiren asked him, “I’m happy that you and Zhan are married, and I don’t force you to be with Zixuan, but that doesn’t mean I’m fine with you cheating me. That little girl is not your daughter at all!”
“Zoe is just your stepdaughter.” Yibo didn’t care about Liying, “You are just helping Ms. Liying’s daughter!”
“Then you’re helping Zhan daughter.”
“No, Dad, I’m not like you. I am helping my own daughter.”

I am obsessed with WangXian and YiZhan so much… currently love to read and write stories about them…
Follow me in my social 🤪 account…
I hope the author will finish this story. It’s almost two years yet no update
