MPLB-22.1 Fall Into Disfavor So Soon

He glared at YangYang and said unhappily, “Why don’t you explain? We are not lovers.”

“Does it affect me to explain or not?” YangYang finally picked up chopsticks.

Zhan couldn’t refute his words at all.

He didn’t know the restaurant owner. They wouldn’t have any contact in the future. In this case, it did not matter for YangYang whether the restaurant owner misunderstood him or not.

There was nothing wrong with those words. But Zhan still felt that it was too heartless.

Zhan looked at this man again. He was really handsome. Even standing with Yibo together, he was not inferior at all.

He and Yibo were really from the same world. Only such people could be qualified to be Yibo’s friends.

On the contrary, the distance between him(xz) and them was so far…

“What are you thinking?” YangYang suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at him.

“Nothing. My tongue hurts.” Zhan looked down to cover his feelings of loss.

“Just eat. After finishing eating, we can say goodbye. I have classes in the afternoon.”

Zhan did what he said. After dinner, he said goodbye to him immediately.

This time, no one could stop him. As soon as they left the restaurant, Zhan left immediately.

He didn’t want to look at YangYang any more.

YangYang looked at his far back and his deep eyes gradually became blurred.

It seemed that he was thinking about something.

Three days later, under the care of everyone, Old Madam Wang miraculously recovered.

The maid pushed Old Madam for a walk in the backyard.

Old Madam accidentally saw a familiar figure.

The girl stood in the flowers. That white and clean trouser, which was clear and refreshing, had a retro flavor.

It was a kind of… a familiar feeling.

“Crystal…” Old Madam Wang thought she was wrong.

But, this back figure, this hairstyle, this trouser… Why was it so similar to Crystal in the picture?

Finally, the girl turned back. Under the sun, her face was pure and clear. She was so beautiful that her skin was shining even without makeup.

“So beautiful…” Old Madam subconsciously wanted to walk over.

“Old Madam, do you want to go for a walk?”

Seeing Old Madam nodding, the maid immediately pushed her and went on.

It seemed to be getting closer and closer to that girl.

The girl seemed to see Old Madam, She was stunned and immediately came over, “Hello, Old Madam Wang.”

“You are…” Maybe it was because the sun was too strong. Old Madam felt that her sight was a little blurred.

She couldn’t see the girl’s face clearly. She only knew that she was very impressed by her trouser.

This was clearly Crystal’s dress in the photo. Why was it on the girl now?

“I’m Yangzi, Zhan’s sister.” Yangzi smiled at her.

This smile was gentle and soft. Coupled with her soft temperament and beautiful and clean face, all elders would definitely like her as long as they saw her.

Hearing that she was Zhan’s elder sister, Old Madam was immediately excited.

“You are Zhan’s elder sister. You are so beautiful!”

She was really beautiful! In particular, she did not even make up and her face was clean, Old Madam liked her very much.

But looking at her dress, Old Madam always had some inexplicable feeling in her heart.

“Your clothes…”

“Does Old Madam Wang also like this dress?” Yangzi twirled in front of her.

As she stood and looked at Old Madam, she smiled a little shyly, “I don’t know why. I like this dress since I was a child. Maybe because I was influenced by someone around me in my childhood.”

“Someone around you?” Old Madam was shocked.

“I can’t remember her. I just vaguely remember that when I was very young, there was a person around me who liked to wear such a clothes.”

Yangzi tilted her head, as if in memory. But she finally shook her head.

“The memory is too vague to know who that woman is. But I know she was very kind to me. Before I could remember her, she had disappeared.”

“Why did she disappear?” Old Madam looked a little anxious.

“I don’t know.” Yangzi shook her head and was confused, “Anyway, she disappeared. Later, I am alone all the time.”

“And your mother?” She was Zhan’s elder sister. So, was she the elder sister or the second sister?

She seemed to be at the same age with Zhan. She should be the second sister.

Second daughter of the Xiao family. Her mother should be the daughter of the Hu family. Old Madam Wang had forgotten her name. But she still remembered the general situation.

“Hasn’t your mother always been with you? Why are you alone?”

“My mother…”

Yangzi bit her lips and her eyes flowed through a trace of grievance.

She bowed her head and grabbed her fingers and whispered, “My mother doesn’t like me. She likes Zhan. She is with Zhan almost all the time.”

Old Madam did not understand. She had asked someone to investigate things, but she did not investigate so thoroughly.

However, Yangzi was Huting’s daughter, but Zhan was not. Why did Huting accompany Zhan all the time? How could she accompany other people’s children, regardless of her own daughter?

“I don’t know why, I even thought that my mother was not my mother at all. Maybe she was Zhan’s mother.”

Yangzi smiled, as if she was trying to let herself show no concern.

Her voice was as soft as today’s wind, which made people feel easy.

“Maybe I have not been clever enough since childhood, so my mother likes Zhan more than me.”

She smiled so lonely, which made people feel sorry.

“But I have been working hard. I believe that as long as I work hard, my mother will like me one day.”

“Silly girl…” Old Madam sighed. She didn’t expect that the beautiful girl would live so hard.

Old Madam should be happy since someone loved Zhan. But hearing Yangzi’s words, she felt a little strange with an unknown reason.

“By the way, my mother is here today. It seems that she is also nearby.”

Yangzi seemed to be very respectful to her mother. She was a little anxious.

“My mother will be angry if she can’t find me all the time. Old Madam Wang, I’ll go to my mother first. I’ll see you later.”

After greeting Old Madam, Yangzi turned and left.

She was so uneasy and cautious. She seemed to be afraid that her mother would blame her if she did not do well.

She was the daughter of a powerful family. Why did she live so cautiously?

Was her mother really bad for her?

“I’ve also heard of this Miss Yangzi.” The maid pushed Madam Wang and went on.

“Huh?” Old Madam looked back at her. “What kind of girl is she?”

“She’s a very good girl. I heard that because of her outstanding character and manners, she’s known as the number one socialite in Beijing.”

“Number one socialite?” She had such a high praise!

“Yes. She has been excellent in both character and learning since childhood. She is completely different from Third Xiao son Zhan who has a bad reputation.”

The maid continued to push Old Madam forward. At the other corner of the flower bed, they heard that someone was calling.

The woman hid behind the flower. Her voice was very low, but Old Madam could clearly hear what she said.

“…Yes. Don’t get in touch with Old Madam Wang anymore. If Old Madam Wang knew that you passed Yangzi’s blood back then and pretended as Zhan’s and had a paternity test, you and I would not be able to survive in Beijing, you know?”

Taking Yangzi’s blood and pretending to be Zhan’s paternity test….

Old Madam was stunned and her entire body seemed to have turned into stone. Her entire body became extremely stiff.

Who was this woman? Who was she and who is she talking to? Old Madam from Wang family?

Wasn’t she the only one Old Madam?

Then, who was the person this woman spoke to on the phone, who… was it?

Before Old Madam could understand, the woman after the flower said again, “Young Master Wang seems to like that wretched girl Yangzi very much, and often invites her to visit Wang’s house.”

“I feel worried about Zhan. So, I come here today, I haven’t expected to see Yangzi and Young Master Wang together, I am so angry!”

“Isn’t Yangzi relying on her appearance which is like her dead mother? She dares to steal Zhan’s man. This bitch! I have to deal with her properly sooner or later!”

Not knowing what the man at the other end of the phone said, the woman continued to curse, “I would have driven Yangzi out of the house at the beginning if I knew it. How could I have kept her if it wasn’t to hide Zhan’s identity?”

“I have raised her for so many years for nothing and let her take Zhan’s place. What I want is that one day, Zhan will be admitted as Crystal’s son by Old Madam Wang.”

“Of course, I have already known that Yangzi is Old Madam’s granddaughter…..

After that, Old Madam couldn’t listen to the rest of the word.

Her heart was a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, her hand landed on her heart, and her breathing became rapid.

Oh my god! What did she do? The truth was actually like this!

How could they! How could they treat her granddaughter like this!

They even bullied her Yangzi into this way!

“Old Madam, Old Madam, what’s the matter with you?” The maid was startled and cried out in a hurry.

“Help, help! Old Madam is sick! Come on, help!”

…Old Madam was sick again and spent two days and two nights in the emergency room.

Two days later, she was transferred to the intensive care unit. It was said that she didn’t want to see anyone, not even Old Master Wang.

Later, Old Master Wang insisted on going in.

No one knew what happened in the room. In short, three days later, Old Madam went back to the Wang’s house.

There were family doctors and nurses who took care of Old Madam in the Wang family.

As long as she didn’t get sick, it would be better at home than in the hospital.

The key was that Old Madam had been in a bad mood and did not want to see anyone.

This time, she even did not want to meet Zhan.

Five days had passed, and now it was the sixth day, Zhan completely did not know what was going on with Old Madam at all.

Yibo had gone to visit Old Madam twice. However, every time Old Madam faced him, she was about to speak, but saying nothing.

She seemed to have a lot of things to say. But in the end, she did not say a single word.

People did not know how to comfort her with such a situation.

The doctor said that most patients had this kind of situation, because they knew themselves… their physical conditions were not very good.

So, Old Madam was worried that she would die soon. So, was she in despair?

No one was willing to say such words. But as for Old Madam’s situation, everyone had been tacit.

They were afraid that Old Madam really wouldn’t live long.

The doctor had revealed carefully in the past that he didn’t sure whether Old Madam could survive this winter.

Everyone in Wang family was worried about this news.

Another two days passed, Taking advantage of weekend, Zhan came to the Wang’s house early and wanted to see Old Madam.

Unexpectedly, he met Yangzi in the yard, who also came to visit Old Madam.

“Zhan, are you also here?” Yangzi seemed to be in a good mood today.

However, her dress let Zhan inexplicably feel a bit strange.

It was beautiful for Yangzi to wear retro dress.

However, she never liked this kind of trouser. What’s more, she had no makeup at all.

Without makeup, was this still Yangzi?

Zhan had never been kind to Yangzi. He just glanced at her and went to the backyard.

The servant said that Old Madam was in the backyard. He wanted to see Old Madam.

As long as he could see with his own eyes that Old Madam was in stable condition, he would be at ease.

“Why are you walking in such a hurry? Do you think Old Madam would like to see you?”

Yangzi walked behind him, slowly and calmly.

“What do you mean?” Zhan looked back at her. Although he didn’t want to contact Yangzi, he always felt that there was an insinuation in her words.

“Nothing. I just want to make a bet with you.”

Yangzi came to him and motioned him to go to the backyard with her.

“Do you think Old Madam would like to see you or me today?”

Zhan frowned. What relationship could Yangzi have with Old Madam?

In the previous life, although Yangzi had always wanted to please Old Madam, Old Madam had been indifferent to her all the time.

But today, why did she look so confident?

“I heard that Old Madam actually wanted me to be with Young Master Wang. But not knowing why, she changed her mind later.”

Yangzi’s smile today was as elegant as a noble princess.

She looked at Zhan without any hostility. Because she seemed to not despise him as an enemy.

She was so superior and elegant, but always so hypocritical.

Zhan ignored Yangzi and went straight to the backyard.

Yangzi also followed closely behind him with no intention of passing him.

Old Madam Wang was behind the main house. This time, Old Master was accompanying her.

Last time Old Madam was ill, Old Master had always been by her side.

But after all, he was the boss of the Wang Group. He had been accompanying Old Madam, so the affairs of the Wang Group had naturally been delayed.

Now there was a rumor inside the Wang family that Old Master was arranging for a successor.

But Old Master hadn’t made a statement. So, everyone was still trying to perform well.

Although Yibo had always been favored by Old Master, Yibo had his own Century Group, and he seemed to have no intention of coming back to take over the Wang Group.

As a result, the competition in the Wang family was very fierce recently.

But now, trying to please Old Master and Old Madam had become the most important thing.

Seeing Old Master pushing Old Madam for a walk not far away from them, Zhan hesitated for a moment and then quickened his pace.

He knew that Old Master didn’t like him. But he came here to see Old Madam today.

So, even if Old Master didn’t like him, he had to brace himself and go there.

Unexpectedly, he just walked two steps while his arms were grabbed and he was pulled back by Yangzi.

“What are you doing?” Zhan was pulled and his feet were unsteady. He almost fell down and could only catch Yangzi subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Yangzi fell to the ground as Zhan caught her.

“Ah!” Yangzi cried out in pain. She touched her ankle, and tears filled her eyes.

“Zhan, I… I just want to see Old Madam Wang. I really don’t want to compete with you.”

Zhan frowned. The next second, he knew what Yangzi wanted to do.

Wasn’t it too childish to frame others?

How dared she play tricks in Wang family! Yibo was not here, What was her purpose to do it?

Yangzi was sitting on the ground. Her face was full of pain.

It seemed that she couldn’t even stand up.

She was always good at acting. Zhan never denied it.

But now, he didn’t need to pay attention to this woman.

Zhan was about to leave while Yangzi said pitifully.

“Zhan, I will remember what Mrs. Xiao said to me last night.”

Mrs. Xiao? Which Mrs. Xiao?

Zhan looked at Yangzi. The only Mrs. Xiao he knew was Yangzi’s mother, Huting.

But, why did Yangzi call her mother like this?

Yangzi did not give him a chance to think, and immediately said, “I will try to keep away from Young Master Wang and do not embarrass you.”

“You keep away from Young Master Wang?” It was such a big joke. Zhan sneered, “Do you think I will believe it?”

“I… I will try to not think about him.”

Yangzi bowed her head. It looked like she wanted to cry.

Zhan really didn’t want to see her perform anymore. However, Yangzi’s action was really weird.

This was clearly acting for others to see. Of course, the target was definitely not just him!

Just as Zhan thought of this, an anxious voice sounded behind him, “Yangzi, why are you sitting on the ground?”

Looking at Yangzi sitting on the ground, Old Madam felt pain in her heart for no reason.

“It’s cold on the ground. Get up! Don’t freeze!”

It turned out that Yangzi wanted to act for Old Madam to see. How could Old Madam and Old Master not see through such a clumsy scheme?

But Zhan did not expect that when his eyes met Old Madam, Old Madam’s eyes were complicated.

Old Madam just glanced at him, and then looked at Yangzi anxiously, “Yangzi, get up quickly.”

Yangzi tried to get up. But she just stood up a little bit and immediately fell back.

She let out a low voice which was full of pain.

“I’m sorry, Old Madam. I… My feet may..be…

“What’s wrong with your feet? Does it hurt?” Old Madam was so anxious and wanted to personally help her up.

Old Master’s hand landed on her shoulder and gently pressed her back.

He lifted his chin, and the maid behind him immediately went over to help Yangzi up. Then, she helped Yangzi sit down beside the flower bed.

The maid looked at Yangzi’s feet and turned to look at Old Madam and said, “Old Madam, her ankle is injured and swollen so much,”

Zhan’s line of sight also fell on Yangzi’s ankle. He did not expect that it was really red and swollen!

But she was OK just now. Was it worth to hurt herself like this just in order to frame him?

“How come? Call the doctor quickly. Hurry up!”

Old Madam was so anxious that her eyes turned red.

Although Old Master Wang didn’t understand why Old Madam cared so much about these two Xiao children, he couldn’t calm down when Old Madam was so anxious.

For fear that Old Madam would be ill again, Old Master Wang said, “Hurry to call the doctor.”

Listening to his order, the maid ran quickly to the back room of the main house.

Old Madam lived in the back room. In order to take care of her, there was a medical room in the back room, and several doctors and nurses were usually there.

Soon, the doctors and nurses rushed over.

Seeing that Old Madam cared about Yangzi, they did not dare to be careless.

“This lady’s ankle is sprained. It’s probably due to an accidental fall.”

The doctor took out the prepared ice and packed it with a special tool to cool her ankle.

Yangzi frowned tightly, and her lower lip was bitten out with a pale color.

But she held back the pain and fought back the tears.

This girl was really strong and tolerant.

Old Madam didn’t know whether she had always been like this.

Could it be that she had learned to endure from childhood so that she was so strong now?

She was in so much pain. But even her cries of pain were so careful. It was obvious that she was suppressing the pain.

Old Madam was so sad that she couldn’t hold back her tears.

How could her Yangzi be so pitiful?

Finally, the doctor treated Yangzi’s ankle. Old Madam said in a hurry, “My room is not far away. Help her go in and have a rest.”

Old Madam still had a lot to say. There were a lot of sad words that she wanted to ask this girl.

Before, Old Madam had been hesitant and entangled. She could not be able to make up her mind.

She also couldn’t get through to the private detective who she had entrusted before.

With her current physical condition, it was impossible for her to secretly go out to look for someone to investigate; Old Master Wang would not let her go out.

Old Madam didn’t want Old Master to know about it, for fear that he would have a problem with her granddaughter.

Clearly, all the evidence suggested that Yangzi was her granddaughter, and Zhan was an impostor.

But she was still unwilling to admit it.

After all, she had already confirmed Zhan’s identity.

But these two days, whenever she thought of what grievances Yangzi had suffered, her heart would ache endlessly.

Today, seeing that Yangzi was so pitiful to this extent with her own eyes, she felt sadder.

“How could you be so careless?” Looking at Yangzi’s ankle which was still red and swollen, Old Madam was heartache.

Yangzi subconsciously turned back to look at Zhan, as if she wanted to say something, but saying nothing.

But in the end, she just shook her head and looked at Old Madam and said, “I… I am careless. It is my fault..”

This made Old Madam feel worse.

Wasn’t it Zhan who pushed her down just now?

This girl was really stupid. She didn’t even say a word of grievance but just wanted to calm things down.

Did this happen often before in the Xiao family?

Did she grow up in this environment? Her granddaughter was so pitiful!

At this time, Old Madam turned around to look at Zhan. When she saw his freckled face, she suddenly felt disgusted.

Why didn’t she think of this before? Crystal was so beautiful. How could she have an ugly child?

Crystal’s child should be as clean, beautiful, soft, and gentle as Yangzi.

And, also kind…

Even if she was bullied, she was not willing to complain!

On the other hand, Zhan was actually able to watch coldly from the side when his sister was injured to such an extent.

How could this boy be her grandson?

She was really blind before!

“Yangzi, go to my room and have a rest. You guys hold her well. Don’t hurt her feet again. Be careful!”

“OK, Old Madam, we will not hurt this lady’s feet.”

“From now on, you need to call her Miss Yangzi.”

“I see. Miss Yangzi, please walk slowly.”

Zhan looked at a group of them who were walking from the courtyard slowly to the back room where Old Madam lived.

Looking at Old Madam who was pushed by Old Master, he did not know what was going on. Suddenly, his heart ached and he wanted to cry.

But what was he crying for?

He originally didn’t know why Old Madam loved him. Now, she loved others and did not want him anymore. What was there to cry about?

He just… his eyes were not very comfortable. Maybe sand blew in his eyes.

Zhan lowered his head and forcefully wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Before he could find an excuse not to be sad, a low and contemptuous voice sounded behind his back suddenly, “What happened? You lost your favor so soon?”
