DBSNTM-71 She Has To Pay

---

In the car outside the prison.

“Hello? Zhan?”

Zanilla took her phone to look and found that Zhan had hung up on her.

“Zhan, that bitch, actually dares to hang up on me!” Zanilla said angrily

Haoxuan extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said in a hoarse voice, “Stop complaining. Let’s go back,”

As soon as Haoxuan opened his mouth, the anger on Zanilla’s face instantly disappeared.

She revealed a charming smile and snuggled towards him, “You’re too kind to me. I don’t know how to thank you…”

She indeed liked Haoxuan.

After that, she didn’t go to those clubs to join the Party again. She never dreamed that Haoxuan would get her out.

One moment, she was so desperate that she would stay inside for three years. But the next moment, she was gotten out by the man she liked.

Zanilla felt that she was brought from hell to heaven.

Zanilla nestled in Haoxuan’ arms, her soft little hand circling his chest.

Just by smelling Haoxuan, she felt as if she was going to faint.

“Haoxuan…”

Zanilla wanted to get intimate with him, so she moved closer to Haoxuan and wanted to kiss him.

Haoxuan frowned and turned to dodge her lips, but he did not push her away.

Zanilla’s lips landed on his chin, but she didn’t care at all, She kissed Haoxuan along his chin…

Zanilla had sex a long time ago. She often hung around in various clubs, thus she had many ways to play.

Haoxuan did not allow her to kiss his lips. But he did not refuse Zanilla to kiss him, apart from his lips, and caress him, Soon, Zanilla felt Haoxuan breathed hard.

Zanilla got excited. She leaned into Haoxuan’ ear and whispered charmingly, “Haoxuan, don’t you miss me?”

Haoxuan’ hoarse voice sounded, “Zanilla, you a wolfess.”

Zanilla was even more excited after she heard Haoxuan’ words. She muttered softly, “Well… do you like me like this…”

She thought that Haoxuan was about to lose control.

But soon, she heard Haoxuan say coldly, “No, it’s disgusting.”

Zanilla was shocked. Then she could see the disgust in Haoxuan’ eyes.

However, Zanilla didn’t care about that disgust and said, “But that’s not what your body told me.”

“I want you…” Zanilla’s eyes were full of desire.

Haoxuan still did not push her away and acquiesced in her intention.

***

When Zhan and Yibo arrived at the old house, they went straight to Yibo’s room to rest.

At noon, the servants came to inform them to lunch.

When they came to the dining hall, Zhan realized that they were the last to arrive.

As soon as they sat down, Zhan heard Qiren’s deep voice, “Where’s Haoxuan? Why hasn’t he come?”

“Haoxuan went out for work early in the morning,” said Cici, Haoxuan’ mother.

Qiren’s face turned cold, but he didn’t say anything else.

Zhan thought of Zanilla’s call in the morning and sneered in his mind.

‘Haoxuan went out for work.”

‘Humph! I’m afraid he’s going to pick up Zanilla…’

Qiren said with a frown, “Let’s eat first.”

It had been notified early that Qiren wanted everyone to come.

Although Qiren had already retired, he was still the head of the Wang Family and had absolute authority in the family.

Everyone respected him.

Of course, except Yibo.

Even Qiren couldn’t do anything with him.

Qiren stuck to traditions, especially the Spring Festival.

When Zhan came over this morning, Qiren had already sent someone and told them that they had to stay here for a family reunion if there wasn’t anything that required urgent attention.

Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, and the day after tomorrow was the first day of the lunar year.

The Wang family was a large one. During the spring festival, many guests would pay a visit. So every Wang would be busy.

Haoxuan wasn’t at home today, so Qiren wasn’t pleased.

Zhan thought maliciously how angry he would be if Grandfather Qiren knew that Haoxuan was going to pick Zanilla up from prison today.

Would he be so angry that he would beat Haoxuan up?

Only after they finished their meal did Haoxuan hurry back.

“Grandfather.”

Haoxuan walked in from the outside in a hurry. Everyone could tell it.

After the meal, they hadn’t left the table.

Qiren cast a glance at Haoxuan and said in a deep tone, “I thought you had forgotten this meal.”

He raised his eyebrows with a stony face. He sat upright in his seat, having an aura of authority.

Zhan involuntarily straightened his back and sat upright. He sharply noticed that Haoxuan also trembled out of fear.

Well, everyone was afraid of the biggest parent.

And Haoxuan was no exception.

“I’m sorry, Grandpa. Some emergency at work.” Haoxuan lowered his head, as if he was guilty.

Looking him like that, Qiren wasn’t that angry.

Although Qiren’s wrath faded, his tone was still somewhat harsh. “You will ruin your reputation in the seedy entertainment industry. It’s full of messy news. You should get out and do something serious.”

Zhan pinched Yibo’s hand under the table.

Yibo turned to look at him.

Zhan mouthed, “He’s talking about you.”

Yibo founded a film company, which Qiren didn’t like either.

Yibo pinched Zhan’s finger back and gave him a warning but significant look, Zhan narrowed his eyes and smiled silently.

Yibo turned his face away and said to Qiren, “Grandpa, I’m a little tired. I’ll excuse myself.”

Without waiting for Qiren to agree, he held Zhan’s hand and was about to leave.

Qiren couldn’t control Yibo. He was satisfied that Yibo returned to the mansion for the New Year. So he didn’t care more about other things.

Haoxuan turned his head and looked at them with a faint resentment in his eyes.

He just missed a meal and he was reprimanded by Grandfather, while Yibo could do everything he wanted.

Grandfather always loved Yibo more.

Zhan was led away by Yibo and he silently followed him.

Just as they were about to leave the dining room, they heard Wang Yizhou’s voice.

“Dad, I think Haoxuan can go to work in the Wang Group. He has been close to Yibo since he was young. Yibo hasn’t been in the company for long, and there aren’t many trustworthy people around him. They can have each other’s back.”

If Zhan had heard Yizhou’s words a month ago, he couldn’t agree more.

However, all the things Haoxuan had done in the past few days had made it clear that he was so against Yibo.

Yizhou had mentioned it last time they were here.

Yizhou said the almost same thing.

Yibo had clearly expressed his attitude last time. He did not expect that Yizhou would bring it to Qiren today.

Wasn’t he using Qiren to force Yibo to work with Haoxuan?

Zhan couldn’t understand what Yizhou was thinking.

Yibo and Yizhou had not been on good terms in the past few years.

It seemed that Yizhou was trying to repair their relationship.

But sometimes, the things Yizhou did just worsened it.

Yibo stopped.

Zhan raised his head to look at him and saw him turn around.

Zhan thought Yibo would say something, but Yibo only sneered at Yizhou.

When they returned to their room, Yibo took off his coat and sat on the sofa. His eyes looked empty.

Zhan didn’t know what Yibo was thinking, or perhaps he wasn’t thinking of anything.

“Are you thinking about what Mr. Yizhou said just now?” Zhan asked.

“No.” Yibo shook his head.

“Then what are you thinking?” Zhan walked to him and sat down, looking at him.

Yibo tugged him into his arms and hugged him, his chin pressed against Zhan’s forehead and said softly, “Nothing.”

“You’re lying.” Zhan pressed a finger between his(wy) tightly knitted eyebrows. He shook his head and said, “Your eyebrows give it away.”

Yibo stared at him for several seconds before suddenly laughing. He tightened his hug and said half-jokingly “I kind of regret. I should have put Zanilla to death and let her disappear forever.”

Zhan was shocked, and his face immediately changed.

Zanilla wanted to kill him, and he hated Zanilla, but he never thought about how to kill Zanilla.

Every life should be respected. No one had the right to end others’ lives as they pleased.

This was a concept deeply rooted in Zhan’s mind.

Zhan would try his best to let Zanilla be punished by the law, and he did not want to see Yibo use some methods to get rid of her.

“Are you scared?” Yibo reached out and touched Zhan’s face, “You saw me kill people before, right?”

His voice was very soft, even softer than his usual emotionless cold voice.

However, Zhan felt a sharp chill in his soft tone.

Zhan tried to convince him, “She will be punished as she deserves. You…”

“As she deserves?”

Yibo sneered and said in a mocking and cold tone, “You mean only ten days in prison is what she deserves?”

How could his anger disappear with Zanilla staying in prison only for ten days?

His wife and child were almost gone because of her.

Zhan could not argue with any part of it.

He felt that nothing should be like this.

He also agreed that Zanilla’s punishment was too mild, but he felt Yibo could not always deal with problems in such a brutal way.

Yibo kissed him on the forehead and said in a gloomy tone, “She has to pay.”

Zhan opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.

Yibo let go of him and said in a rare gentle tone, “It’s time for you to take a nap.”

After Zhan became pregnant, he developed the habit of taking a nap. Not long, but he just rested for a while routinely.

He was a little confused, so he nodded his head and said, “Yes.”

He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, thinking that he would not be able to sleep, but soon he fell asleep.

Seeing Zhan fall asleep, Yibo tucked him in and got up. He gently closed the door behind him and walked to a jujube tree in the courtyard.

It was planted by his mother when he was very young. He didn’t remember exactly how old he was that year.

It was midwinter, and the tree was bare without a leaf.

There was not even a single leaf under it because servants cleaned the courtyard every day.

Footsteps came from behind.

Haoxuan’ voice reached up to his ears. “Everyone said we were close. Well, it’s just what it looks like.”

Standing and facing each other, they seemed like two knights in a duel.

Haoxuan smiled, his tone gentle as usual, “You terminated my contract only because of Zhan, and you bought the trolls to slander me. What closeness did we have, huh?”

Yibo did not even blink his eyes. “You forsook your dignity only because of Zanilla. You are no better.”

“You are no better.”

Yibo’s words fiercely struck Haoxuan.

His face contorted into something awful. “Why on earth do you look down on me?”

Yibo remained expressionless and said, “I do look down on you. If you are against me, come straight at me. Don’t harm him, especially a pregnant one.”

Zanilla was instigated by Haoxuan when she drove a car towards Zhan.

It was precisely because of this matter that Yibo was thoroughly enraged.

“Oh, and about the trolls, I didn’t do it. And I don’t have to. Who do you think you are after you left Yuehua? You’re just Haoxuan. Who knows how others want to do with you?”

There wasn’t any disdain in Yibo’s tone, but Haoxuan could feel it in every word.

Haoxuan clenched his fists and suppressed his anger as he said, “Uncle wants me to go to the company!”

Yibo replied lightly. “Whatever.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the time.

Normally, Zhan would sleep for 40 minutes to an hour. He could have a cigarette before he came back, Zhan would probably wake up then.

Yibo took out a cigarette and lit it as if no one else was around.

Seeing Yibo completely ignoring him, Haoxuan didn’t intend to humiliate himself. He took a significant look at him and left.

Because of what happened to his mother, Yibo had been quiet since he was a teenager. Haoxuan became close to Yibo because of Yijun.

Then Yibo ran a film company and he joined in. Their relationship became closer.

Haoxuan was just eighteen ten years ago.

Even though he grew up as a good boy in others’ eyes, he wanted to be rebellious, So he went into entertainment industry without a word to his family.

He did not have much hope at the beginning, nor did he have any purpose. He didn’t like what he did. And he never thought Yibo could run this company so well.

Life was unpredictable.

He happened to enter this industry, and he stayed in it for ten years.

After ten years, Yuehua had also become the leading company in this industry.

Ten years had also strengthened their relationship.

If…

There were no ifs in this world.

Haoxuan had already walked to the door of his room.

He pushed the door open, locked it from inside, walked straight to the safe, took out the key, and opened it.

There were two DNA test reports in it.

He curled his lips, and a cold smile touched the corner of his mouth.

He took them out and walked into the bathroom. He lit them up with a lighter in front of the sink.

He watched as the reports that could threw him into the hell burned to ashes. He expressionlessly turned on the tap, seeing water washing the ashes down.

Life was really boring.

He had lived seriously for 28 years, but in the end, he was nothing more than a joke.

Well.

***

Yibo only took two puffs before putting it out.

He glanced in the direction where Haoxuan had disappeared, then turned around and was about to walk back.

With a casual glance, he saw a shadow shaking beside a cluster of evergreen plants.

Yibo strode over and saw Yijun who was about to sneak away.

“Stop.” Yibo narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

Yijun hastily turned around and smiled, “Hi.”

“Why are you hiding here?”

“Nothing.”

“Huh?”

One suspicious look from Yibo forced the truth out from Yijun.”I saw you two when I passed by, and then…”

He couldn’t help but eavesdrop.

From their conversation, Yijun could tell that they had completely broken apart.

Yijun was a little sad and whispered, “Why did you and my brother become like this? Didn’t you guys get along well before?”

Yibo didn’t want to answer Yijun’ question, but when he saw his sad face, something flashed in his eyes and he said, “You’d better ask him.”

Yijun looked at him with confusion. He knew a little about the things online, but he couldn’t figure out what exactly was going on.

Yibo felt that this kid was being annoying.

However, he kept his patience and explained, “Zhan would hit the trending topic with him because Haoxuan asked for it. And Zhan being called the home wrecker; it’s all because of him.”

Yijun went to Haoxuan’ place when these happened. He had seen these on the Internet. He even joked about letting Zhan be with Haoxuan.

“Why would he do that?”

“You have to ask him.”

Yibo did not tell Yijun about Haoxuan instigating Zanilla to drive towards Zhan.

He was young. Although he could be annoying, he was still a kind child in Yibo’s eyes.

Yibo sighed inaudibly and touched Yijun’ head, “Go back to your room. It’s cold outside.”

He took several steps forward but then he was stopped by Yijun, “Yibo.”

He turned around and saw Yijun frowning.

“He went to hospital several times before Zhan and he made the headlines, but he wasn’t ill. It seemed that he was investigating something.”

Yibo’s face turned cold as he nodded.
