Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 667 - 658: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 2)
"No, don’t keep me here, I don’t want to stay here."
Xia Luo slammed the door hard, shouting loudly, wanting to leave.
But no one responded to her, outside was silent, not a sound was heard.
Xia Luo cried till she was exhausted, and was too tired to hit the door, sliding down to the ground.
The curtains were not drawn, but the sky outside was already dark.
Thinking about the curtains, Xia Luo suddenly woke up, immediately got up from the ground, staggered to the window.
She wanted to open the window and escape.
However, when she reached the window, seeing its condition, she realized there was no hope.
Desperately, she stumbled back to the bed, collapsed onto it.
Zhan Yunxiao had already ordered the windows sealed. Although they were still windows, the outside was fitted with security bars, leaving her no way out.
"Why do you have to treat me this way, why don’t you believe me." Xia Luo lowered her head sadly, tears involuntarily falling.
No matter how much she cried or felt hurt, Zhan Yunxiao didn’t know.
She couldn’t leave here either.
She was trapped like a canary in this small world... unable to escape.
There was a bathroom and shower in the room, she didn’t even have a chance to go outside for fresh air.
Three meals a day, female bodyguards took turns delivering them.
But she ate very little.
Staying in one room every day, how could she possibly have an appetite?
However, the only advantage over a prison was that Zhan Yunxiao gave her freedom to communicate with the outside world.
He gave her a phone so she could go online and play games.
Not long after, she saw in the news that Mu Chen, CEO of Mu Group, sold the bid-winning project to Zhan Group.
The two shook hands at the handover ceremony and posed for pictures, appearing to the outside world like handsome men maintaining peace.
But Xia Luo knew this was her brother’s compromise.
Her brother compromised, he really couldn’t win against Zhan Yunxiao.
Everything he took from Zhan Yunxiao, Zhan Yunxiao seized back.
But what about herself?
What did she even count for?
A joke?
A complete joke?
"Madam, I’m sorry, Zhan said no one can go in."
Not knowing how long she had been locked up, Xia Luo felt it had been a century. Zhan Yunxiao never came, apart from four female bodyguards, no one else came, she thought she had been forgotten.
But unexpectedly, she suddenly heard an argument outside.
Yet, she was too numb from being locked up.
Even if she heard a sound, she couldn’t react immediately, still staring blankly while sitting on the bed.
"Open the door, don’t use Zhan to press me. Even your Mr. Zhan has to listen to me, let alone Zhan." The woman harshly scolded.
Xia Luo found this voice vaguely familiar but couldn’t recall where she heard it.
The female bodyguards seemed frightened and indeed opened the door.
As the door opened, the air from outside flowed in.
Xia Luo frowned, feeling like an animal accustomed to confinement. A slight change in her environment would make her particularly sensitive and uncomfortable.
"Xia Luo."
The woman who came in called her name.
She was backlit, Xia Luo couldn’t quite see her features. She squinted for a while before she could see clearly, it was an extremely pretty face.
"Madam Zhan?" Xia Luo murmured these words.
She thought she would never see her again, didn’t expect she could see this beautiful face once more.
Internally, she felt fortunate that she was okay, fortunate that she was alive.
"I’m sorry, my son did this to you." Ye Ningwan frowned, feeling sorry as she apologized seeing her dazed expression.
Being a doctor, how could she not see the reasons behind her condition?
The formerly lively and clever girl was forcibly confined into autism; how could she not feel sympathetic?
Even if she once harmed her.
But now she knew she was deceived, Feng Qianru was already dead.
Maybe it was because she had aged, or maybe she now had a daughter not much younger than Xia Luo herself.
If she were her former self, she surely wouldn’t forgive someone who harmed her easily.
But now, she wasn’t as hard-hearted.
"You... apologize to me? Why? I clearly hurt you, almost cost you your life." Xia Luo murmured.
Ye Ningwan: "I know, you were blindsided by your mother and brother. You also spent some years by my side. Although you didn’t like me, you weren’t heartless. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Xiao has no right to confine you here. For what he did to you, I apologize on his behalf."
