DBSNTM- Chapter-30

After Yibo promised to help the Xiao Group, he acted. First, the negative news about the Xiao Group online disappeared.

Then the companies that dissolved their cooperation with the Xiao Group changed their minds.

Zhan knew all these things. He had mixed feelings. Unexpectedly, Yibo was serious. He helped them a lot.

Occasionally, there were posts discussing the scandal of the Xiao Group’s factory online, but they were deleted soon.

The media and the influential users of Weibo didn’t mention it anymore as if they lost memories.

---

Ziyi, who propagandized her movie, returned to Beijing. Zhan happened to get his salary and asked her to have dinner together.

When Zhan got off work, the driver wasn’t Bowen.

As soon as Zhan got on the car, he told the name of the restaurant to the driver, “Please send me to this restaurant. You don’t have to pick me up later. I’ll go back myself.”

Yijun’s business was good. He counted the pupils’ exercise books and turned around to ask Zhan, “Where are you going?”

“Have dinner with a friend.”

“I want to join you.”

Zhan was unwilling to agree, but he was unable to persuade him and gave up.

….

When Ziyi saw Yijun, she asked Zhan, “Who is he? He is so handsome. He isn’t like a family member from Xiao.”

Yijun was a beautiful child with curly hair. His skin was fair. He was childish. He was cute when he laughed. Yijun introduced himself, “My name is Yijun.”

“…”

Ziyi spat out the water in surprise.

Zhan handed napkins to Ziyi.

Zhan hadn’t told Ziyi what happened between Yibo and him.

Yijun didn’t know that. He was shocked by Ziyi. After he sat down, he asked Zhan blankly, “What’s wrong with my name?”

“It’s fine. Your name is pretty good.” Zhan patted his head.

Yijun nodded and sat there quietly. He wasn’t noisy as usual.

He was also good at acting.

“Yijun is Yibo’s cousin.” Zhan explained.

“…”

Ziyi was shocked.

Zhan said, “The Yijun’ you met before is Yibo.”

“…”

After a while, Ziyi frowned and said, “Do you mean that the ‘Yijun’ is Yibo. This cute boy is Yijun.”

“Yes,” Zhan nodded.

Zhan turned around and saw that Yijun blushed.

“Why are you blushing?” Zhan was surprised.

“He’s shy.” Ziyi was confused. “Why did Yibo pretend to be Yijun? Is he crazy? Does he have mental illness? It doesn’t matter. The key point is that he isn’t ugly. He is so handsome!”

Yijun didn’t know what had happened. Now he knew that. He frowned and looked at Zhan.

Zhan poured him a glass of water and said, “Drink water.”

Zhan looked at Ziyi and said, “Keep your voice down.”

Ziyi covered her mouth.

The “Yijun” was Yibo. He wasn’t ugly and he was handsome. He shouldn’t be impotent!

Yijun was here, so Ziyi didn’t say anything. She took out her phone and texted Zhan, [“Is he impotent? Have you tried?”]

Zhan didn’t answer her vulgar question.

Ziyi turned around and teased Yijun with a smile, “How old are you? You’re so cute.”

Yijun’s face turned red again. “I’m fourteen years old.”

“You’re so tall. You’re only fourteen now. You’ll definitely be a handsome man when you grow up.”

Yijun wasn’t modest. “It should be.”

Zhan had got used to it.

Ziyi was surprised. Then she hugged her belly and laughed.

Zhan tilted his head and shouted at Yijun, “You’re so cute.”

Yijun blushed, “Stop…..”

“Are you shy?” Zhan was surprised.

Yijun would be shy if someone praised him.

It was unbelievable.

Ziyi was lively. Yijun was talkative. They had dinner happily.

When they almost finished eating, Yijun got up and went to the restroom. Then Zhan had the chance to talk to Ziyi about Yibo.

“I haven’t told you that Yibo was shot. When I took the bullet out for him, he didn’t scream in pain or faint.”

Ziyi frowned, “What did Yibo do? Why was he shot?”

Zhan was shocked by Yibo’s perseverance. He didn’t pay attention to this problem.

Why was Yibo shot?

What did he do?

“It’s complicated. The Wang family cares about their reputation, but they don’t care about the rumours of Yibo all these years. Furthermore, they asked him to get engaged to Zanilla, but he married you. Even if Yibo was incapable, he shouldn’t have married a family member of the Xiaos.”

Zhan nodded. “I’ve thought about it, but I don’t know why. My grandfather settled the engagement when he was at home. It’s said that he went abroad within a few years after the engagement. I remembered that.”

“I’ve heard about this. Back then, Yibo and his mother were kidnapped. When the Wang’s went to save them, Yibo’s mother was dead. Although Yibo was alive, his face was disfigured and he was impotent. Not long after, the news that Yibo would get engaged to Zanilla was released.”

Ziyi had a relative who was a politician, so she knew more about it than others.

However, it was superficial.

Zhan analyzed, “In other words, the reason why the Wangs asked Yibo and Zanilla to get engaged was probably related to the kidnapping.”

“It’s possible.” Ziyi thought so.

“What will you do next?” After Ziyi knew that Yijun was Yibo, she was happy for Zhan.

However, Ziyi was worried after Zhan told her this.

Those celebrated families looked glamorous on the surface. They must have done many bad things stealthily.

Yibo was the successor of the Wang family. He was smart. He could hide his nature for so many years.

“I don’t know. Play it by ear.” Zhan didn’t know what to do.

Ever since he got married, he couldn’t control his fate. Most of the time, people were pushed forward by fate.

He couldn’t stop or go back. He was pushed forward. Maybe there was a way. Maybe there was an abyss ahead. He couldn’t master his fate.

Ziyi was worried. They remained silent.

Yijun came back.

A person followed Yijun.

They came up. Yijun moved aside. “Zhan, this is my brother.”

Zhan looked up and saw the person.

“Haoxuan!”

“Haoxuan!”

Ziyi and Zhan were surprised.

Ziyi asked, “Is Haoxuan your brother?”

Yijun scratched his head. “Yes. He’s my brother.”

“His surname is Wan and your surname is Wang.” Zhan had met Haoxuan many times, but he was surprised that he was related to the Wang family.

Yijun explained, “My brother takes my father’s surname and I take my mother’s surname.”

Haoxuan smiled at Zhan, “Yijun is naughty. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

“It’s fine.” Zhan was at a loss.

Yijun was surprised. “Do you all know my brother?”

“Of course, Mr. Haoxuan is famous in the entertainment industry. His acting skills are good. He has many fans!” Ziyi took out her phone and said, “Mr. Haoxuan, can we take a picture together?”

Haoxuan smiled warmly, “Of course. Please keep it as a secret for me”.

“I promise.” Ziyi took her phone, pulled Zhan over and said, “Let’s take photos together.”

“No, thank you.” Zhan didn’t adore stars. He just liked Haoxuan’s movies very much.

Haoxuan smiled and looked at him gently, “Mr Zhan, please do me a favor.”

Haoxuan was so gentle. Zhan didn’t refuse.

They stood together. Yijun took photos of them.

Haoxuan stood in the middle. Ziyi and Zhan stood on both sides of him.

After taking photos, Ziyi took the phone. Her agent called her. She didn’t answer the phone and said to Zhan, “My agent called me. I have to go.”

Zhan nodded, “OK.”

“I have to go. Goodbye, Mr. Haoxuan.” Ziyi waved her hand at Haoxuan and rushed out of the restaurant.

Zhan looked at Yijun and Haoxuan. He discovered that they looked alike.

Perhaps because they were relatives, Zhan felt Haoxuan and Yibo looked similar.

Haoxuan was Yibo’s cousin, so it was normal for Haoxuan to help Yibo hide the truth.

In order to deceive me, Yibo put in a lot of effort.

Zhan sneered.

Haoxuan knew his thoughts. He felt guilty. He said sincerely, “I’m sorry to help Yibo deceive you.”

Zhan pursed his lips and said, “Mr. Haoxuan, don’t mention it. You have your own reason.”

Haoxuan smiled helplessly and said, “Are you going to go back? I’ll send you back.”

Zhan was confused. Yibo was strict with Yijun. Yijun should go back with Haoxuan.

However, Yijun would come back to Yibo’s home.

Noticing that Zhan was confused, Haoxuan explained, “I’m busy with work. I don’t have time to take care of Yijun. It’s better for him to live with Yibo.”

Haoxuan drove Zhan and Yijun back to the mansion.

……

Zhan and Yijun walked in front, while Haoxuan followed behind them.

When Zhan entered, Yibo looked at Zhan. When he saw Haoxuan, he squinted his eyes. No one knew his thoughts.

Haoxuan explained, “Yibo, I met Yijun and Zhan, so I send them back.”

“OK,” Yibo answered. Then he sat down on the sofa and said to the bodyguard, “Pour tea.”

Haoxuan sat on the sofa.

They were about to talk about something, so Zhan pulled Yijun upstairs.

---

Zhan returned to his room and took a shower. He received a message from Ziyi.

[“Did you sleep with Yibo? Is he impotent?”]

[“Since he is different from the rumors, he shouldn’t be impotent, right?”]

Zhan smiled helplessly and replied, [“Go to bed early. Don’t talk nonsense.”]

Ziyi didn’t go to sleep and sent Zhan a voice message.

Zhan listened.

“What I said is not nonsense. What I said is serious. Although Yibo deceived you, you must get him.. Otherwise, if Zanilla noticed that ‘Yijun’ is Yibo, she would seduce Yibo.”

“Even if she seduced Yibo, Yibo wouldn’t accept her.”

When he sent the message to Ziyi, Yibo stood at the door and said, “You know me so well.”

Zhan was astonished. He looked up at Yibo. He was at a loss.

When did he come here?

Did he hear the conversation between me and Ziyi?

Ziyi replied him.

Zhan locked the screen and didn’t read the message.

“When did you come here?”

“I heard everything.”

Yibo didn’t answer his question.

Zhan was awkward. Yibo smiled and said, “I’m going to take a shower. Think about it carefully.”

“What do you mean?”

“Think about how to get me.”

Zhan was embarrassed.

---

Because Yibo helped the Xiao Group secretly, the Xiao Group got back on track. There were countless people visiting Jianmin for cooperation and investment. Jianmin was extremely happy. He planned to take Zhan to meet those partners.

Zhan refused, “You can go with Zanilla. Yibo doesn’t like me to take part in that.”

He always used Yibo as an excuse. It was useful.

Zhan and Jianmin had different thoughts. He understood Yibo. Although Yibo helped the Xiao Group, Zhan felt that it was strange.

Jianmin nodded and said, “OK. When Yibo’s free, take him back to the Xiao’s for dinner.”

Although he wouldn’t bring Yibo back to the Xiao’s, he replied, “OK.”

***

On the way back, Zhan asked the driver to stop and got off the car to buy some things.

When Zhan walked around, someone beside him said, “Why hasn’t the Xiao Group collapsed yet? Why are there their products on the shelves for sale?”

“They’re powerful. Although they had the scandals, they asked someone to delete the news. They’re disgusting!”

Zhan stood in front of the shelf for a while, bought something and left.

Zhan knew Yibo’s plan..

In the event, the Xiao Group didn’t apologize sincerely and didn’t receive any punishment.

Moreover, the Xiao Group even deleted all the news, which made the public more disgusted.

A small leak would sink a great ship.

Moreover, the scandals of the Xiao Group had been exposed.

Zhan had a premonition that the Xiao Group didn’t solve the problem and it was the beginning of the disaster.

Once the Xiao Group took action, someone would release the scandals of the Xiao Group. Then consumers would boycott the Xiao Group’s products.

After knowing Yibo’s purpose, the more Zhan thought about it, the colder he felt.

On the surface, Yibo helped the Xiao Group, but his real goal was to crack down on the Xiao Group.

---

After the car stopped at the door of the mansion, Zhan opened the door.

It was winter. It was getting colder day by day.

A gust of cold wind blew over. Zhan shivered. His face turned paler.

Zhan went straight to Yibo’s study.

It seemed that Yibo had just returned. He didn’t take off his coat. He was looking for a book.

After he heard the door open, Yibo turned around and saw Zhan. He smiled faintly.

Zhan wasn’t sure if he smiled.

“Hi.”

Then Yibo turned around and continued to look for the book on the bookshelf.

Zhan came up to him, held Yibo arm, and pulled him to face to face with him.

Zhan stared at Yibo’s eyes and said word by word, “What.Do.You.Want.To.Do? Have the Xiao Group offended you?”

Yibo retracted his arm and covered Zhan’s hand. “Your hand is so cold.”

He held Zhan hands.

His palms were so warm that Zhan didn’t pull his hands back.

It was easy for Yibo to move anyone if he wanted.

Zhan was fascinated by him. Then he regained his senses. He pulled out his hands and repeated his question, “Have the Xiao Group offended you?”

“Are you questioning me?” Yibo stared at his hands. He was angry.

“You know what I mean.”

Yibo turned around and sat down on the chair. He said casually, “You asked the paparazzi to take photos of the Xiao Group. I thought you hated the Xiao Group.”

Zhan looked at him in astonishment. He knew about this matter.

Yibo was satisfied with Zhan’s expression.

After a while, Yibo said gloomily. “No matter what I want to know about you, I will know.”

He meant that I didn’t have secrets in front of him.

He could know easily what I had done.

He was threatening me again.

“Is it funny? Do you feel fulfilled when you keep an eye on me?” Zhan said sharply.

Yibo was crazy! 

He kept an eye on me. he think I’m like his pet.

“I care about you.” Yibo ignored that Zhan was unhappy. He said, “Otherwise, how could I rush over to save you when Xiao Jianmin and Xiao Zanilla tricked you into saving your mother and kidnapped you?”

Although Zhan was mentally prepared, he was shocked.

As expected, he knew everything!

Zhan had no secrets in front of him.

Perhaps he didn’t want to hurt Zhan, but he was manipulative.

“Don’t look at me like that. I don’t like it.”

Yibo stood up and reached out to cover Zhan eyes. He lowered his head and kissed him. He said in a charming voice, “Be good.”

Yibo lips were as warm as his hands, but Zhan trembled.

Yibo hugged him. He stroked Zhan hair and said intimately in a hoarse voice, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t treat you like what I did to them. I will spend the rest of my life with you. I love you.”

Zhan didn’t have the guts to move. Yibo was terrifying. Zhan wanted to escape.

After a while, Zhan said, “The Xiao Group…”

“The Xiao Group will be fine. Your grandfather will deal with it.” Yibo let go of him and helped him fix the bangs. “Let’s have dinner.”

Zhan was led downstairs by Yibo. Zhan was absent-minded.

Zhan stopped. He looked at Yibo and said, “Taking advantage of the scandal of the Xiao Group, you want to force my grandfather to return home.”

Yibo turned to look at him and praised him, “You’re smart.”

“What do you want? What is your purpose?”

Were there other unknown things behind the engagement?

It was very important to Yibo.

Why had Yibo concealed his identity since the kidnapping?

There were too many things that Zhan couldn’t figure out. He was more confused.
