Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 651: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age
"Dad, do you suspect her?"
"Yes."
Zhan Hanjue did not hide his suspicion towards Xia Luo.
Zhan Yunxiao frowned deeply.
However, his father’s next words made him feel as though he had plunged into an icy cave: "Xiao, do you also know that she is Xiaxia?"
"How did you know?" Zhan Yunxiao was shocked.
Zhan Hanjue said, "Her biological mother used to be my childhood sweetheart and was married to me. Her father was my close friend, someone I once thought would be my lifelong friend. Her appearance somewhat resembles both of them. Moreover, didn’t I also raise her for a few years when she was a child?"
Zhan Yunxiao clenched his fists, lowered his head in pain, and closed his eyes.
After a while, he slowly nodded and said painfully, "Yes, she is Xiaxia. When I found her, she was having a very tough life, wandering outside all the time, and she hadn’t been to school. I don’t even know how a girl like her managed to survive all these years and grow up.
"I also didn’t expect that she wasn’t dead. I had sent many people out to search for her, but there was no news." Zhan Hanjue said.
"Did you really send people to look for her?" Zhan Yunxiao questioned.
Zhan Hanjue froze for a moment, then said angrily, "What do you mean by that? Are you suspecting that I didn’t really look for her?"
"Dad, I know something about the grievances between her parents and you. Even if you didn’t sincerely look for her, I can understand. But now that she’s already found, and I like her, I can’t let anyone harm her anymore." Zhan Yunxiao said firmly.
Zhan Hanjue listened to these words, and felt there was a hidden message.
He’s not stupid; how could he not realize what he meant?
"I didn’t expect you to question your parents. But, since Xiaxia has been alive all along, why didn’t she come looking for us?" Zhan Hanjue asked another question.
"She lost her memory, she doesn’t remember anything." Zhan Yunxiao said.
"No wonder, she didn’t react at all when she saw me just now."
"So Dad, I don’t want her to remember past matters, and you should not ask her about them either." Zhan Yunxiao reminded.
Zhan Hanjue said, "I understand, I won’t ask her, but she can’t stay at the company."
"Still, you suspect her." Zhan Yunxiao said angrily.
"Whether it has to do with her is no longer important; what’s important is whether we father and son can handle this matter properly."
Zhan Yunxiao clenched his fists but was helpless.
Who let him not handle things well?
Xia Luo had no ideas about leaving the company.
Instead, she comforted Zhan Yunxiao, "Don’t be angry with your dad. The decision for me to leave was probably made by many people in the company together. He’s not wrong, please don’t blame him."
"Luoluo, thank you for understanding me." Zhan Yunxiao hugged her.
Xia Luo smiled and said, "I’m your girlfriend, of course, I understand you. If even I don’t understand you, who else would? By the way, your dad looks familiar; I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere."
Zhan Yunxiao’s heart sank, he quickly explained, "Maybe it’s because my dad is too handsome, and he’s always appearing in various magazines, so you find him familiar."
"Is that so? Maybe!" Xia Luo smiled, not pursuing the matter further.
Zhan Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
However, since his father had already seen through Xia Luo’s identity, how could he not tell his mom?
Soon, Ye Ningwan called, asking about Xia Luo.
"I’ll talk to you when I get home." Zhan Yunxiao hung up the phone.
He comforted Xia Luo and drove home.
Ye Ningwan knew Xiaxia was still alive, both surprised and happy, and thought they would return together.
But seeing him alone, she asked in surprise, "Where’s Xiaxia?"
Zhan Yunxiao said, "She’s somewhere else, I didn’t bring her here. She doesn’t remember past things, and I don’t intend to make her recall them."
"Why didn’t you bring her back?" Ye Ningwan asked.
Zhan Yunxiao remained silent.
Zhan Hanjue spoke in a cold, irritated voice, "He suspects that we know Xiaxia was alive but deliberately didn’t look for her."
"Ah? How could you think that?" Ye Ningwan was also surprised.
More than suspicion.
Zhan Yunxiao thought about the information he found; his parents had even been to the orphanage where Xiaxia stayed, clearly they knew about Xiaxia’s existence but didn’t want to find her.
"Zhan Yunxiao, is there something you’re hiding from us?"
No one knows a child better than their mother; Ye Ningwan saw through his little thoughts at a glance.
"No," Zhan Yunxiao stubbornly denied.
Ye Ningwan chuckled, "Do you think I don’t know? You’re my son, I’ve raised you since you were little. Can I not understand you? Your expression clearly shows there’s something. We don’t oppose you dating, and we’re delighted if you’ve found Xiaxia and you like her. But if you have any misunderstanding about us and don’t say it, that’s excessive. Zhan Yunxiao, others may not understand your parents, but don’t you?"
"I’m sorry, mom, it’s my mistake."
His mother’s words startled Zhan Yunxiao, leaving him ashamed.
Indeed, they are his parents, living with him since childhood.
Others may not understand them, but he does.
How can he suspect them without knowing the truth?
"So, what exactly are your misunderstandings about us?" Ye Ningwan asked again.
Zhan Yunxiao told them to wait, left home, and went to his residence to get the information.
He returned with the information and showed it to his parents.
"After seeing these, do you have anything to say to me?"
Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan were both very surprised after seeing it.
Zhan Yunxiao said, "I remember, you once sponsored this orphanage."
"Yes, we did sponsor it. The Zhan Group has several charitable projects each year, not just this orphanage but other orphanages too, chosen to be sponsorship recipients. However, we had no idea Xiaxia was at this orphanage. We didn’t see her. If we had seen her, how could we not have brought her back?" Ye Ningwan explained.
Zhan Hanjue nodded, "Your mom’s right, I’ve told you before, I always had people searching for her. But after the accident at sea, we searched for years with no information, and thought she had drowned. We couldn’t think of any other result."
"Maybe it was really a coincidence, you just happened not to see her," Zhan Yunxiao said.
Ye Ningwan said urgently, "What do you mean by coincidence? We really didn’t see her. If you don’t believe it, I can even swear by it."
"Forget it, I don’t disbelieve you. I did have suspicions before, but you are my parents, I understand you. I know you wouldn’t treat Xiaxia that way. Fortunately, she’s alive, that’s already the best result. Mom, I’ll bring Xiaxia home tomorrow. But can you please not bring up past matters with her? She lost her memory and doesn’t remember the past. Since she has already forgotten, let her forget it. Forgetting those things makes her life easier now."
