Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 629: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age
"What are you doing?" Xia Luo was startled and quickly pulled back her arm.
Her clothes were a bit tight, and the sleeves couldn’t be rolled up at all.
Mr. Zhan failed, so he simply pressed her down and forcibly took off her coat.
Being held down by a man and having her clothes forcibly removed, Xia Luo was so frightened that her eyes turned red. She struggled desperately, refusing to let Mr. Zhan have his way.
Her strength was already quite substantial for a girl, having escaped from men’s hands multiple times. But Mr. Zhan, surprisingly strong for an ordinary man, held her down so firmly she couldn’t move at all.
Xia Luo was truly scared.
Crying, she pleaded, "Please, let me go, don’t do this to me. I’m filthy, I’m sick, I have AIDS, I have all sorts of diseases. Don’t dirty yourself over someone like me."
Mr. Zhan ignored her words, forcibly and aggressively removing her coat.
The girl was only wearing a camisole underneath.
The cautious camisole outlined the girl’s perfectly youthful curves.
However, Mr. Zhan had no interest in these. His gaze fell on the position of the girl’s right upper arm.
There was a red mole, embedded like a ruby in her jade-like arm, exceptionally striking and dazzling.
Mr. Zhan let go of the girl in shock, his body leaning backward, sitting on the ground.
Xia Luo hadn’t expected him to suddenly let go and quickly put her clothes back on while still crying.
After dressing, she saw his dazed appearance and angrily raised her hand, giving him a fierce slap across the face.
"Bastard."
She thought he was intending to assault her, though she didn’t know why he stopped. The immense fear still made her very angry, and she lifted her hand to give Mr. Zhan a slap.
And that slap woke Mr. Zhan up.
Mr. Zhan immediately got up, grabbing her wrists with both hands.
Xia Luo was startled again, her face pale with fear as she questioned, "What do you want to do now?"
Seeing the panic in Xia Luo’s eyes, Mr. Zhan slowly came back to his senses, taking a while before asking in a low voice, "Do you not remember me?"
"Of course I remember, you’re Zhan Yunxiao. Let me go," the girl shouted.
Hearing her call his name, Mr. Zhan first showed great joy, but quickly noticed she called him by his full name, not his nickname.
So, perhaps she really didn’t know who he was.
"Do you remember your childhood?" Mr. Zhan asked.
"What childhood? Why are you suddenly asking about my childhood?" Xia Luo shouted.
"Do you remember Tuantuan?" Mr. Zhan asked again.
"What Tuantuan and Fanfan, I don’t understand what you’re talking about." Xia Luo shouted again.
Mr. Zhan frowned, releasing her once more.
Xia Luo pushed him hard and ran outside.
However, just as she ran out the door, she was caught by Yan Yu and the bodyguards waiting outside.
Yan Yu had originally been eavesdropping at the door, curious about their young boss’s gossip.
As a result, he was almost knocked over by Xia Luo charging out.
"Hold her down for me," Yan Yu ordered the bodyguards once he regained his footing.
The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and caught Xia Luo, who was trying to escape.
Rubbing his aching cheek from the collision, Yan Yu scolded Xia Luo, "Why are you running? Being favored by our little Zhan is a fortune for you. In Jiangcheng, how many women wish for one more glance from him, yet it’s a foolish dream. You dare to run?"
"Others are others, I am me. I don’t want to see your little Zhan at all," Xia Luo shouted.
"Ungrateful," Yan Yu scolded.
"You’re the ungrateful one! Let her go," Mr. Zhan came out of the room, scolding Yan Yu and the bodyguards.
Yan Yu was taken aback, hurriedly explaining to Mr. Zhan, "Young Mr. Zhan, I’m doing this for your own good. This girl has too wild a temper; she needs proper discipline."
"I said, let her go," Mr. Zhan commanded in a deep voice again.
The bodyguards quickly released Xia Luo.
Xia Luo shoved a bodyguard away and swiftly fled from here.
Yan Yu pointed at Xia Luo and asked Mr. Zhan, "Young Mr. Zhan, are you just going to let her go?"
"Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Mr. Zhan countered.
Yan Yu replied, "At least accuse her of infringing on your reputation and hold her accountable."
"This matter must not reach my parents. If you dare leak a single word, be careful that you might lose your job tomorrow, no, today," Mr. Zhan threatened coldly.
Yan Yu shivered in fear.
He didn’t want to lose his job.
The benefits at the Zhan Group were so good; he still wished to retire here.
"Rest assured, Young Mr. Zhan, I won’t say a word. I’ll keep my mouth shut tight and absolutely won’t speak out of turn."
"Hmm," Mr. Zhan nodded, waving them off.
Today’s incident had a huge impact on him.
He hadn’t expected the person he had long felt guilty about to be still alive.
The discovery made him tremble with excitement and delight, but since she wasn’t dead, why hadn’t she returned? Was it because of amnesia?
Thinking about how she didn’t remember him, she must have lost her memory.
Though she didn’t die after jumping into the sea those years ago, she lost her memory.
"Yan Yu, you help me investigate someone. Investigate everything about her, leave nothing out,"
An excited Mr. Zhan, opting not to act rashly, called Yan Yu back to give orders.
Yan Yu nodded, puzzled, "Young Mr. Zhan, who do you want to investigate?"
Mr. Zhan mentioned Xia Luo’s name.
Yan Yu looked surprised, "Still her?"
"Go investigate. This matter must not be mentioned to my parents. You need to know who is in charge of the Zhan Family right now. Who pays your salary?" Mr. Zhan threatened.
Yan Yu nodded frantically, his heart racing.
It was his first time seeing Young Mr. Zhan so serious, and he was terrified.
It took two days to uncover everything about Xia Luo and hand the information to Mr. Zhan.
"Young Mr. Zhan, this Xia Luo wasn’t originally from Jiangcheng. She came here three years ago. She had long since dropped out of school and was a small-time punk, doing odd jobs on the side, scamming and deceiving—a total drifter. As for her previous living situation, there were many places, probably wandering all over, with no family around. However, a year ago, she met a child and took him under her wing, living together in that shanty town in the south of the city. The removal project hit them hard; they weren’t original residents, so there’s no compensation, and many of those places were rented. That’s likely why she targeted you for retaliation."
"What’s this?" Mr. Zhan asked, frowning as he saw information about Xia Luo’s time at an orphanage on the papers.
Yan Yu said, "She was probably adopted by an orphanage for a period. This is the orphanage’s information. By the way, I thought the orphanage looked familiar. I remembered it’s one of the ones the Zhan Group sponsors during our annual charity initiatives."
