Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 638: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age
"It’s not a big issue, just a minor bone fracture, not actually a break; rest will take care of it. During this time, pay extra attention to rest and nutrition intake. I’ve brought some herbal medicine that will help nourish her; remind her not to forget to drink it," the woman said with a gentle smile, reassuring him.
"Alright, I understand." Zhan Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman pursed her lips into a smile and asked him with amusement, "Does Young Master Zhan like that girl inside? She’s pretty cute. When I arrived, the teacher even specifically told me to check if the girl was pretty."
"You saw her, and she’s not pretty, so you can go back and tell my mother that there’s nothing like what she’s imagining," Zhan Yunxiao said.
But the woman laughed and said, "That’s not necessarily true! I find her quite pretty, with a little makeover she would be stunning. Anyway, I think she’s pretty, and I’ll tell the teacher she’s pretty; I won’t lie."
Zhan Yunxiao: "..."
"Take care, I won’t see you off."
He turned back inside and closed the door.
However, when he returned to Xia Luo’s room again, he saw Xia Luo looking at him with a dark expression.
"What’s wrong? You’re not having a fracture, it’s a bone fracture, which is much better than what we originally expected," Zhan Yunxiao comforted her.
"You said your mom would come, why was it not her? You just don’t want me to meet your mom?"
"Yes," Zhan Yunxiao admitted, "I just don’t want you to meet her."
"I knew it! Why?" Xia Luo asked angrily.
Zhan Yunxiao certainly couldn’t tell her because he didn’t want his parents to know she was still alive.
"I can’t tell you the reason. Anyway, take good care of your injury, and when it’s healed, I’ll send you abroad."
"Abroad? Why do I need to go abroad? I haven’t studied properly and can’t even read Chinese characters, and you want me to go abroad?" Xia Luo was shocked.
Zhan Yunxiao replied, "There are places abroad where they teach Chinese too; I’ll send you to school. You’re still young, it’s not too late to study now. Anyway, I’ve already decided, and we’ll depart in a few days."
"Zhan Yunxiao, you can’t be so overbearing. I haven’t agreed to it; you can’t send me abroad," Xia Luo screamed.
Zhan Yunxiao frowned and suddenly approached her, bending down with one hand resting on her bed.
Xia Luo was so frightened she leaned back, almost falling into bed.
Zhan Yunxiao’s handsome eyebrow was now clouded with shadows, a storm surged in his eyes, and he asked, "I can’t be overbearing? Whose food do you eat, whose things do you use? Whose house do you live in? Would you prefer to continue wandering as before, with no place to call home and hungry, or going abroad to live the current life? How would you choose?"
"Of course, the current life, but I don’t want to go abroad," Xia Luo murmured.
"Why don’t you want to go abroad? If I said that not going abroad means going back to the old days, would you still want to stay in the country? Is there anything here worth your lingering over?"
"Yes, you, you are worth my lingering," Xia Luo replied softly, eyes fixed on Zhan Yunxiao.
Zhan Yunxiao: "..."
He stared at her blankly, their eyes locked.
Xia Luo’s eyes were incredibly bright, her pupils jet-black, like a magnet, which draws you in once you meet them.
Zhan Yunxiao felt as if he was entirely drawn into her, his breathing somewhat difficult, and his body gradually heating up.
He really wanted to stand up immediately and sternly warn her, "I’ve told you I’m not interested in you, why are you still saying such things?"
But he couldn’t move, nor could the words leave his mouth.
The time passed so slowly, clearly only a few dozen seconds, but felt like several millennia had gone by.
"Sister..."
"Big brother is here too?"
Xia Tian rushed in, shouted once, and broke the awkward situation.
Zhan Yunxiao immediately stood up, his face slightly red, his expression flustered and awkwardly said, "I have errands to run now, we’ll talk about this later."
After speaking, he quickly ran out.
"Sister, what’s wrong with big brother?" Xia Tian asked.
Xia Luo gazed deeply at the doorway, shook her head, said nothing, and closed her eyes.
Seeing her unhappy, Xia Tian dared not cause any trouble and left with his head hanging.
But after Zhan Yunxiao ran out of the apartment and got in the car, he slowly placed a hand on his heart, closed his eyes, and waited quietly for his heartbeat to slow down.
His heart had never beaten this fast before, almost leaping out of his chest.
That one look just now seemed to freeze in time.
Thousands of thoughts rushed in, fierce and overwhelming, almost drowning him.
No, he couldn’t let Xia Luo stay here any longer; something would go wrong eventually.
Even if his parents couldn’t find her, he would... something significant would happen.
"Yan Yu, arrange visas for Xia Luo and Xia Tian, and contact the school in England. Send them to England."
The next day at work, Zhan Yunxiao called Yan Yu to him and instructed.
Yan Yu was surprised, "Zhan, why are you suddenly wanting to send them abroad?"
"You don’t need to worry about it. Just do as I say," Zhan Yunxiao said with a stern face.
"Alright, I’ll get right on it." Yan Yu had no choice but to agree.
Coincidentally, Zhan Hanjue had business at the company, almost bumping into Yan Yu who was just leaving.
Yan Yu saw him and shivered in fear, standing up straight and bowing respectfully to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Zhan."
"Who’s going abroad?" Zhan Hanjue asked.
Yan Yu was embarrassed and quickly looked toward Zhan Yunxiao.
Zhan Yunxiao gave him a look, indicating for him to leave quickly.
Yan Yu smiled awkwardly at Zhan Hanjue, seized the moment, and ran out quickly.
"Dad, what brings you here?" Zhan Yunxiao diverted Zhan Hanjue’s attention.
Zhan Hanjue replied, "I had business nearby, so I came to check on things. Just came to see you, no particular reason."
"I’m fine, and everything at the company is well," Zhan Yunxiao answered.
Zhan Hanjue nodded, "If there’s no issue, get busy with your work. I’ll go have a chat with Mr. Wu."
Zhan Yunxiao saw him out.
However, after leaving, Zhan Hanjue didn’t go find Mr. Wu but instead turned around and caught up with Yan Yu.
"Mr. Zhan, what do you need?" Yan Yu asked with a mournful face.
Zhan Hanjue looked at him, half-smiling, "I don’t need to say, you know what I’m here for." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"But Mr. Zhan, Zhan said not to tell anyone," Yan Yu pleaded.
Zhan Hanjue sneered, "Am I ’anyone’? I’m his father; he even has a ’young’ prefix. Do you think I don’t have the right to know?"
"Of course not, I..."
"Then tell me, or tomorrow I’ll arrange a more capable assistant for Yunxiao, and you’ll be sent for volunteer work in Africa."
Africa?
Yan Yu was so scared he turned pale; he definitely didn’t want to go to Africa.
He’s so fair-skinned, going to Africa would turn him into a black man.
He hasn’t found a girlfriend yet; he can’t become a black man.
"I’ll tell you everything, but please don’t tell Zhan. If you do, I’ll end up going to Africa," Yan Yu pleaded pitifully.
Zhan Hanjue nodded.
Yan Yu then told him everything about Zhan Yunxiao instructing to arrange travel documents for the Xia siblings.
Of course, he didn’t dare to mention the identity falsification of the Xia siblings.
After hearing it, Zhan Hanjue frowned, sensing something was off, and hurried home to inform his wife.
