When Zhan thought of this, his face was no better than Yibo’s, Haoxuan was determined to go against Yibo.
He couldn’t understand why Haoxuan kept standing on the opposite side of Yibo and didn’t distinguish right from wrong.
The vibe in the car was a little depressing.
Their original plan was to go to the Golden Cauldron Club for dinner after the lawsuit.
Bowen drove to the Golden Cauldron Club.
Cheng had been waiting for them in the private room.
He was ordering dishes when Zhan and the others entered.
Though Zhan hadn’t seen Cheng for some time, he still found him sloppy.
Cheng pulled a chair and winked at Zhan. “Zhan, sit over here.”
His enthusiasm surprised Zhan. “No matter how you please me, I won’t speak in favor of you in front of Ziyi.”
“Don’t consider me so utilitarian, You’re a treasure now and we shall all serve you.” Cheng looked at Yibo and said, “Am I right, Yibo?”
Yibo ignored him and pulled a chair for Zhan. Then he sat down beside him.
Cheng felt bored and went to Haikuan’s side to ask him, “What’s wrong? Things aren’t going smoothly?”
Haikuan shrugged.
He thought it was smooth, but Yibo didn’t look right when he saw Haoxuan.
It was eight in the evening when they finished dinner.
Cheng and Haikuan had to attend another dinner. Yibo and Zhan went straight home.
***
When they got home, Zhan entered the hall and saw Dilraba wiping the floor.
This was a rare sight.
When Dilraba saw them enter, she greeted them. “Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang,”
Although Dilraba’s face was swollen, Zhan could still tell her reluctance.
Dilraba’s forehead was swollen and bruised, and there were several bandages on her face, Zhan couldn’t help but ask, “Are you alright?”
Dilraba seemed dumbfounded for a moment. “I’m okay.”
Yibo didn’t look at Dilraba and took Zhan upstairs. “Go up and rest.”
At the corner of the staircase, Zhan turned around and saw Dilraba squatting on the ground to wipe again.
Was Dilraba’s brain damaged? Was she determined to be a maid?
Zhan was shocked by this idea.
When they returned to their room, Zhan went to take a shower. Just as he entered the bathroom, his phone vibrated.
Yibo glanced at it and saw a message “From Grandpa” displayed on the lock screen.
He remembered that Qiren and Zhan had added friends on WeChat earlier.
He looked at the bathroom. The sound of water started coming from inside.
Yibo took the phone and opened WeChat to read the message.
Qiren sent a voice message. Yibo tapped to listen.
“Zhan, Zhouxuan caused you trouble today.”
Hearing this, Yibo curled his lips thoughtfully. Qiren was protective. Although he was happy that Zhan was pregnant, Zhouxuan was also his granddaughter.
Zhouxuan must have complained to Qiren. Though Qiren wasn’t someone who couldn’t tell right from wrong, when such an incident happened, he would still give Zhan a warning.
Yibo deleted Qiren’s message and tapped video call.
Qiren was surprised that Zhan would start a video call with him.
He accepted it.
When the call was connected, instead of Zhan, Qiren was surprised to see Yibo’s annoying face on the screen.
“Why are you here? Where’s Zhan?” Qiren’s face became serious. Clearly, he didn’t want to see Yibo.
Yibo switched to the rear camera and aimed at the closed bathroom door. “He’s taking a shower.”
Qiren pursed his lips with dissatisfaction and said, “I have nothing to say to you. I’ll call him tomorrow.”
When Qiren was about to end the video call, Yibo said slowly, “If you’re bored, you can go back to the company and work. I think your son will be happy to give you his position.”
“Yibo!” Qiren’s face was clouded over with anger.
Yibo picked up the phone and walked outside. He curled his lips mockingly. “You arranged a woman for your grandson in his mansion when his wife was pregnant. You old fool!”
Yibo was irritated with what Qiren did. It was true that when he was young he and Qiren were very close, but ever since Qiren told him to stop investigating his mother’s death when he returned to the old mansion last time, there had been an estrangement between them.
Since Qiren was nice to Zhan, Yibo didn’t express his dissatisfaction and pretended nothing had happened.
But he didn’t expect that Qiren would do that.
Qiren was so angry that his beard trembled. He said earnestly, “Yibo, I’m doing this for your good. The huge family business of the Wang Group is yours to inherit. You can’t focus all your attention on a boy, Don’t be like your father…”
In Qiren’s eyes, it was common for a man from a wealthy family to have many concubines.
However, Yizhou, his most beloved son, had never had any women after his wife’s death and had been depressed ever since.
Qiren had been a playboy for half his life but his son was a loyal man.
When Yibo brought Zhan back to the old mansion, Qiren saw how much he cherished Zhan and had other thoughts in his heart.
Yibo sneered, “Like my father? Are you sure he’s depressed because he can’t forget my mother? Or because he feels guilty?”
“Yibo, I’ve told you many times. There was no secret about your mother’s death. It was just an accident.” Qiren’s voice carried a trace of exhaustion.
“I watched your mother grow up. You know how your father feels about your mother, Yibo, you’ve been investigating for so many years. What have you found? Nothing. Right? Those were your imaginations…”
Qiren was still murmuring, Yibo didn’t interrupt him.
Only after he finished speaking did Yibo slowly ask, “Will my aunt come back for the New Year this year? It’s been years since she came home for the New Year.”
After finishing his words, he narrowed his eyes and quietly observed Qiren. But there was no special expression on Qiren’s face other than a trace of emotion.
Yibo frowned slightly. Perhaps Xiao Shenhai had lied?
He didn’t want to believe that his aunt had anything to do with what happened back then.
“Yibo?”
Zhan’s warm voice interrupted Yibo’s thoughts.
Yibo turned around and saw Zhan wrapped tightly in pajamas and a thick coat.
Yibo’s eyebrows relaxed slightly, and his face softened in an instant.
He waved to Zhan, “Come here.”
Zhan walked closer and realized that he was holding his phone.
Qiren saw Zhan in the video and smiled. “Hi, Zhan.”
“Grandpa.” Zhan raised his eyes and smiled at Qiren.
Yibo put the phone in front of him and said to Qiren, “Alright, go to bed early. Drink more tea and practice more Tai Chi.”
His tone was indifferent and normal.
Zhan didn’t know what they had talked about earlier. He nodded in agreement, “Yibo is right, Grandpa, you should go to bed early and exercise more.”
Qiren kept silent for a while. He waved his hand impatiently. “Alright, I’m going to sleep.”
Before Qiren could finish speaking, Yibo hung up.
He was so fast that it felt perfunctory.
Zhan thought he had to correct him. “You should let grandpa hang up first.”
“His hands are slow as he gets older. Waiting for him to hang up is a waste of time.” Yibo’s expression and tone were perfunctory.
Zhan thought of Dilraba and stopped persuading him. He knew that Yibo had his own considerations.
***
The next day.
Zhan got up late as usual.
As soon as he entered the dining room, he saw Dilraba serving the dishes silently. The swelling on her forehead reduced a little, looking less frightening than yesterday.
Dilraba brought breakfast to the dining table with a straight face.
Zhan looked at Dilraba quietly while eating breakfast. He felt that Dilraba had become strange after returning from the hospital yesterday.
It was hard to tell how she was different. The most obvious was that she was quiet and was working industriously.
Perhaps her brain was damaged yesterday, or did Dilraba find it interesting to be a maid?
When Zhan slowly finished his breakfast, Dilraba walked toward him as if she had something to say.
Zhan waved at the other maids to let them leave.
When the other maids left, Zhan looked at Dilraba and said, “What do you want to say?”
“I want to go back,” Dilraba bluntly said.
“Really?” Was her mind cleared after she was beaten up by Zhouxuan?
A trace of unwillingness appeared on Dilraba’s face. She took a deep breath and said, “Although I don’t want to admit it, I can tell that you and Yibo are deeply in love.”
When she was in the hospital yesterday, she saw it clearly as a bystander.
After Yibo arrived, Zhan was the only one in his eyes.
The man never cared about Zhouxuan, not to mention Dilraba.
Dilraba was ambitious and occasionally blinded by her confidence, but she was also a sensible adult.
Being the only child of a wealthy family, she was born with pride. She would sometimes do stupid things, but she was not stupid.
Zhan was tilting his head to get a glass of water when he heard Dilraba’s words. He didn’t expect it from Dilraba and was slightly dumbfounded.
He couldn’t help but look up at Dilraba.
Dilraba wasn’t used to being stared at. She was embarrassed and looked elsewhere. “I think Yibo loves you very much and is quite indulgent with you.”
“Oh, you can tell that.” Zhan blinked his eyes as if it was natural.
Dilraba realized that Zhan was quite scheming. At first glance, he was a gentle, harmless, and good-looking boy.
However, he can always surprise you.
Though he came from an ordinary family and wasn’t very outstanding, he always looked confident. When he stood together with Yibo, it was obvious that they were a perfect match.
This was what Dilraba felt when she saw Yibo and Zhan standing together yesterday.
They were such a perfect match that no one could interfere.
“Zhan, I’m negotiating with you. You’re writing a script, right? Do you want to sell it? As a producer, I can introduce you to my resources. You, on the other hand, need to return my employment contract to me.”
Dilraba felt that with her standing and Zhan sitting, she would appear inferior to Zhan, so she sat down opposite Zhan.
Zhan was surprised.
Dilraba showed her courage when she became a maid to approach Yibo in the villa.
However, she put her courage to improper use.
Zhan didn’t trust Dilraba, but he couldn’t doubt her either.
“I can give you the contract and you can leave today. As for helping me sell the script, I don’t need it for the time being.”
It wasn’t that Zhan was skeptical, there were quite a few cases of stolen scripts in the industry.
Although he wasn’t famous now, his script had taken countless efforts to write.
If Dilraba wanted to fool him, she could make use of it.
Dilraba wasn’t surprised that Zhan would be so straightforward.
“Alright, you can call me if you need my help.”
She took out the phone number that she had written down earlier from her pocket.
Zhan took it.
After Dilraba changed out of her maid uniform, Zhan asked a driver to send her back.
Seeing Dilraba’s car leave, Zhan felt a little bored.
Fortunately, he could still surf the Internet.
Perhaps because he had been on the host lists many times, Zhan, who had seldom used Weibo in the past, often browsed the trending topics now.
He logged into Weibo, and the top trending topic was breaking news for him.
“Haoxuan Cancels the Contract with Yuehua”
Zhan tapped the topic to find that the online opinions had exploded.
“Is it real? It’s not long since YZ, the mysterious founder of Yuehua, wrote that long post. Now Haoxuan is canceling his contract with Yuehua?”
“I think Haoxuan wants to be his own boss and earn more money.”
“To be honest, Yuehua has provided the best resources to Haoxuan over the past few years. Look at the scripts Haoxuan received. Are there any bad scripts? If Yuehua didn’t fully support Haoxuan, it would create many more stars, But Haoxuan has turned his back on Yuehua as soon as he won the Grand Slam!”
This post is very popular with thousands of likes and comments.
There were those who refuted the author and those who agreed with the author.
After reading the post, Zhan thought what the author said made sense.
Haoxuan had become famous but had basically no scandals in the past few years. Obviously, Yuehua Media Company had spent a lot of effort.
Haoxuan’ termination of the contract would cause great losses to Yuehua Media Company.
But Zhan thought deeper.
Was it Haoxuan or Yibo who wanted to cancel the contract?
Zhan wanted to call Yibo and ask him, but then realized that Yibo was in the Wang Group now and was afraid of disturbing him. So he called Cheng instead.
Cheng was probably busy and didn’t answer the phone.
After a while, Cheng called him back.
Before Zhan could speak, Cheng said, “I know. You want to ask about the cancellation of Haoxuan’ contract, right?”
Zhan replied, “Yes.”
“Yibo called me early this morning and said that he was going to cancel the contract with Haoxuan, and he even released the news. Look how much work he has created for me when the holiday is about to come!”
Cheng complained. Zhan comforted him and hung up the phone.
Just as the phone was hung up, it rang again. He glanced at it and saw that it was Jianmin.
Jianmin hadn’t bothered him for a long time, so why did he suddenly call him?
Was it because of Zanilla again?
Realizing that Haoxuan might get Zanilla out, Zhan felt uncomfortable as if his throat was stuffed.
Zanilla wanted to kill Zhan so many times. He put Zanilla in prison with great difficulty, thinking that she would reflect on herself in prison for a few years, but then Haoxuan came…
If he had known earlier, he would probably let Yibo torture Zanilla to death. Zhan thought maliciously.
Zhan was shocked by this thought.
He touched his belly and muttered, “Baby, mother’s idea was wrong. Don’t learn from me…”
In his daze, the phone hung up because it was not answered.
Zhan put away his phone and didn’t intend to call back. Anyway, they would call again if they had something to say to him.
A few minutes later, Jianmin called again.
This time, Zhan picked up the phone.
Jianmin’s voice was cold, “Have you met your mother?”
“What’s the matter?” Zhan had not seen Jingtong for a long time except for having a phone call with her.
Jianmin paused for a moment and said, “She has been missing for several days, Hasn’t she come to you?”
Though Zhan didn’t want to care about Jingtong anymore, his heart skipped a beat. “No.”
Jingtong was extraordinarily patient toward the Xiao’s. Normally she wouldn’t leave Xiao’s mansion, but Jianmin said that she had been missing for several days…
Zhan asked Jianmin, “What did you do to her?”
“What can I do to her? She ran away by herself!” Jianmin’s voice was filled with anger. His voice was loud and Zhan’s ears felt numb.
“If you did nothing to her, would she run away? Do you think I’m stupid?” Zhan shouted back in a fierce tone.
“Didn’t you ignore her? Now you want to blame everything on me? I don’t have a son as vicious as you who can send his own sister to prison!”
When Jianmin spoke of it, his chest was filled with rage.
Zhan gritted his teeth. “What a coincidence, I don’t have a sister and a father who want to kill me.”
“Don’t make it sound so dirty. Zanilla didn’t get her head on straight for a moment. Aren’t you fine now? You know she has been spoiled since childhood. Can’t you just give her what she wants?”
Jianmin thought it was all Zhan’s fault.
–You know she has been spoiled since childhood!
–Can’t you just give her what she wants?
Zhan tightened his grip on his phone. The blood vessels on the back of his hand could be clearly seen.
“Give her what she wants? Who can give me what I want? You know that she has been spoiled, so now she has to go to prison to be educated. This is all your fault. You are such a good father. If you don’t teach your daughter well, she will be taught a lesson by others. You spoiled her, but you don’t have enough power to indulge her. Do you think Zanilla hates you now?”
Jianmin indulged Zanilla without any principles. He didn’t think he was wrong and would always blame others.
What Zhan said pierced into his heart.
When he saw Zanilla yesterday, Zanilla scolded him for being useless.
Jianmin was too angry to say a word and hung up the phone.
Zhan put down his phone and thought for a while before calling the police.
Even Jianmin said that Jingtong had been missing for a few days. Then it must be a long time.
After calling the police, Zhan figured that he couldn’t just sit there and wait, so he decided to go back to the Xiao’s mansion.
Yibo didn’t restrict him from going out now, but Zhan had to take a bodyguard with him when he went out.
