Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 637: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age
Zhan Yunxiao just said it casually and didn’t notice Xia Luo’s abnormality.
He reached out to Xia Luo for chopsticks, and when Xia Luo didn’t respond, he asked, "What’s wrong? What are you spacing out about?"
Xia Luo snapped out of it and gave a bright smile: "I wasn’t spacing out, here’s the chopsticks. I’ve never had it before, but even if I haven’t eaten pork, I’ve at least seen a pig walk, right? I learned it all on Xiaohongshu, there are a lot of cooking tutorials there, and I picked it up quickly. By the way, was I a cook in my previous life? I must have been, and a really good one at that. I’m thinking of opening a restaurant, what do you think?"
"No, it’s too tiring. Just cook what you like when you have free time, no need to turn it into a career," Zhan Yunxiao refused flatly.
Xia Luo pouted, "You won’t let me do anything. Do you expect me to stay home and rely on you to support me?"
"What’s wrong with relying on me? It’s not like I can’t afford to support you," Zhan Yunxiao said.
Xia Luo said: "But relying on you all the time doesn’t feel right. Right now, you’re not married, so it’s okay for you to support me, but what about when you have a girlfriend? Would she let you support me? So, I need to do something myself. Just like your parents. Even though your dad is so rich and capable, your mom still has her own career. I’ve heard about her stories, and I admire her a lot. I want to be like her."
"My mom is indeed amazing, but you don’t have to be like her. She went through a lot during her childhood; it was really tough," Zhan Yunxiao said.
Xia Luo said, "I have it tough too, why can’t I be like her? By the way, I heard your parents are back from their trip. Why don’t you take me to meet them? I want to see your parents, especially your mom, since she’s such an inspiration. I really admire her and want to broaden my horizons."
"No, you can’t see them," Zhan Yunxiao refused outright.
He was already happy that his parents didn’t take the initiative to visit her; how could he possibly take her to see them proactively?
"Why not?" Xia Luo asked anxiously.
Zhan Yunxiao continued eating and said earnestly, "I said you can’t, and that’s final. Just stay here obediently. If by any chance they suddenly visit, contact me immediately. You can’t meet them alone."
"Are you that afraid of me meeting them alone?" Xia Luo said angrily.
Zhan Yunxiao countered, "Why would you want to see them? There’s no need at all."
"How is there no need? Am I not allowed to admire your mom?"
"Admire her silently in your heart. There are many people who aren’t successful in meeting their idols; it’s a normal thing."
Xia Luo: "..."
She rolled her eyes angrily and sat there pouting.
Zhan Yunxiao ignored her, continued eating, and left after finishing.
Xia Luo was about to explode with anger.
After several attempts that were all rejected by Zhan Yunxiao, she had no choice but to go to his company to find him.
"Sorry, Miss Xia, our president is very busy and can’t see you," the receptionist refused her after making a call.
Xia Luo asked angrily, "What does he mean? He doesn’t even want to see me?"
"Sorry, that’s what the president said," the receptionist said with an apologetic expression.
Xia Luo took a deep breath, bit her lip, and left angrily.
However, not long after leaving, she called Zhan Yunxiao, saying she had been hit by a car and was in the hospital.
Zhan Yunxiao was dumbfounded when he saw the message, then immediately stood up and told the executives still in the meeting: "I have something to deal with, continue discussing, and report back to me once you’ve concluded."
Everyone watched him leave hurriedly and showed surprised expressions.
Their young Mr. Zhan, usually calm and collected, was never flustered like this before.
Today, they were genuinely surprised.
What could have flustered him this much?
"Where’s Xia Luo? What happened to her?"
Zhan Yunxiao rushed to the hospital, and coincidentally ran into a doctor at the entrance, then grabbed the doctor’s shoulders to question him.
The doctor winced in pain from his grip and couldn’t answer.
Xia Luo’s weak voice came from inside: "I’m here, it hurts."
Zhan Yunxiao released the doctor and rushed over, seeing that Xia Luo’s leg was in a cast.
"What happened to you?"
"You didn’t want to see me, so I got upset, wasn’t looking at the road, and got hit by a car," Xia Luo complained.
Upon hearing she was hit by a car, Zhan Yunxiao’s heart jumped: "How badly are you hurt? What did the doctor say?"
"It’s okay, not too serious, just a fracture, so I need to recover. But the doctor said I have to stay in bed for three months, that’s so long, I don’t want to just lie in bed the whole time," Xia Luo looked at him pitifully.
Zhan Yunxiao reprimanded with a stern face: "Who told you not to watch the road? Regardless of being mad at me, you need to pay attention to safety. Three months is the best-case scenario, luckily there’s no major issue, otherwise I..."
"Otherwise what? Why are you being so harsh with me? I’m injured and you’re still scolding me, clearly you don’t care about me at all," Xia Luo said angrily.
Zhan Yunxiao kept a stern face; if she wasn’t injured, he’d have considered scolding her more.
If he didn’t care about her, why would he be concerned about her injury?
This girl just doesn’t know what’s good for her.
"I’m being harsh for your own good. From now on, pay attention to safety. Three months it is, I’ll find someone to take care of you."
"Isn’t your mom a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? Does she have any way to help me recover faster?" Xia Luo pleaded.
With her reminder, Zhan Yunxiao remembered.
Right, his mother is a TCM doctor, she might have a solution.
"I’ll call my mom and ask."
"It would be best if she could come to see me personally," Xia Luo said expectantly.
Zhan Yunxiao glanced at her, said nothing, and went outside to make the call.
Shortly after, Zhan Yunxiao returned to handle the discharge formalities for Xia Luo.
She had a fracture, so hospitalization wasn’t necessary, she just needed to rest at home.
He picked her up, bypassed the wheelchair, and carried her directly to the car.
Xia Luo wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, "Did you call your mom? What did she say?"
"She’ll come home to check on you later," Zhan Yunxiao replied.
Xia Luo sighed in relief, showing a delighted expression.
But soon, she was speechless.
After returning home, indeed a woman came, but she looked only in her twenties.
Xia Luo pointed at the woman and asked Zhan Yunxiao, "Don’t tell me she’s your mom."
No matter how well-maintained, she couldn’t look like this.
And, she wasn’t pretty.
Can someone maintain themselves to look younger but uglier?
"I’m Miss Ye’s student. Don’t worry, this minor injury is no problem at all," the woman said with a smile.
Xia Luo’s face turned dark and she glared fiercely at Zhan Yunxiao.
Zhan Yunxiao was baffled, but since the injury needed checking, he didn’t ask much and went out.
After the woman finished the check-up and came out, Zhan Yunxiao stopped her to ask, "Is it serious?"
