Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 699 - 670: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 2)
"Waa waa waa."
The girl covered her face and ran away crying.
The others couldn’t help but hold in their laughter, but they still didn’t dare to really mock Zhan Yunxiao.
Xia Luo’s face turned red, feeling ashamed to the point of no return.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."
Eventually, Xia Luo couldn’t bring herself to stay here any longer, blushing with embarrassment as she hurried away.
Zhan Yunxiao’s gaze followed her departure, unable to tear it away until she disappeared.
One of them teased him with a laugh: "Young Master Zhan, really falling in love?"
Zhan Yunxiao finally came to his senses, a faint blush appearing on his face.
In truth, these people did not know about the situation between Zhan Yunxiao and Xia Luo.
All they knew was that Zhan Yunxiao was inexplicably stabbed by someone, and then suddenly decided to marry.
And the bride was a woman he was completely unfamiliar with.
Initially, they heard that Zhan Yunxiao left on his wedding night and thought he was forced by his parents to marry someone he didn’t like.
But now it seems that’s not the case?
After Xia Luo ran into the restroom, she looked at her flushed face in the mirror, taking several deep breaths before calming down.
"Why did he suddenly want to kiss me?"
Xia Luo raised her hand and gently touched her lips.
His warmth still lingered on her lips.
That feeling... made her heart race uncontrollably.
Xia Luo painfully closed her eyes.
Indeed, she still liked him.
No matter how many times she warned herself that there’s no future between them.
But her heart cannot help but be moved by him.
"Your name is Xia Luo, right? I heard from my mom that you’re the adopted daughter of the Zhan Family. Is it because of this relationship that Young Master Zhan married you?"
Just as Xia Luo was dazedly staring at the mirror, a person suddenly came in, arrogantly questioning her.
Seeing it was the same girl from before, Xia Luo remained unfazed.
With Zhan Yunxiao not here, she naturally didn’t need to accommodate her. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
With a cold face, she retorted: "It doesn’t matter who I used to be. What matters is that I am now Zhan Yunxiao’s wife, and that’s enough. If you keep talking to me like this, watch out for my lack of courtesy towards you."
"Do you dare? Do you even know who I am? You dare to be rude to me?" The girl domineeringly said.
Xia Luo sneered: "Does it matter who you are? Does Feng Jiuzun know? He opposed my marriage with Zhan Yunxiao, but it was all in vain; I could confront him and won’t be afraid of you?"
Xia Luo deliberately brought up Feng Jiuzun to intimidate the girl.
In truth, she seemed aggressive but didn’t actually want to get into a conflict with the girl.
After all, she didn’t know the girl’s real identity.
Even though Zhan Yunxiao wasn’t particularly polite to her earlier, his temper was just like that; who knows if this girl has any familial ties with the Zhan Family.
"You dare to speak of Mr. Feng like that? I’ll tell Mr. Feng." The girl stamped her foot in rage.
Xia Luo snorted and laughed: "Go ahead and tattle. He’s your Mr. Feng but my Uncle Feng, and Xiao’s foster father. We’ll see who he’d favor; even if he doesn’t favor me, that doesn’t mean he’d favor you."
"You..." The girl gritted her teeth in anger, her expression contorted.
Just then, a few more girls entered.
The girl perked up instantly upon seeing them, revealing a delighted expression, and called out to the other girls: "Come help me teach this woman, who’s clueless about the world."
The new girls didn’t know Xia Luo but recognized the arrogant, overbearing girl.
Clearly, the girl’s family background was good.
At her command, they actually listened, flexing their muscles and advancing toward Xia Luo.
Xia Luo’s expression darkened, and she sternly demanded: "What do you think you’re doing?"
She wasn’t afraid of a fight.
Even though there were several of them and only one of her, she didn’t think she’d suffer much.
These girls all appeared to be pampered young ladies; if it came to blows, who knows who’d really suffer.
However, she feared causing trouble.
After all, she was attending the banquet with Zhan Yunxiao, and if it truly came to a fight, it would undoubtedly create problems for the Zhan Family.
At that point, she feared Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan would be angry.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a stern voice interrupted, as Ye Ningwan walked in.
The girls saw Ye Ningwan and paled in fright.
They quickly greeted her: "Madam Zhan, hello, we weren’t doing anything."
"Yeah, we weren’t doing anything."
"Auntie, why did you come out?" The original girl tried to cozy up to Ye Ningwan.
Ye Ningwan gave her a cold glance and said in a deep voice: "This is the restroom, only you can come, and I can’t?"
"Auntie, I didn’t mean that. You’re busy; I won’t disturb you." The girl awkwardly retreated, fleeing quickly.
Once she left, the other girls hurriedly left too.
Ye Ningwan looked at Xia Luo and asked, "Luoluo, are you alright?"
Xia Luo shook her head: "I’m fine, thank you, Mom."
"There’s no need to be polite. You’re my daughter-in-law, which makes you family. Helping you is the right thing to do. I saw you leave and not return for a long time, so I was worried someone was giving you trouble, and indeed, they were. These girls truly need discipline. I should remind their parents, who are busy making money, to raise their children better."
"Who was that girl in the pink dress?" Xia Luo asked.
It’s better to figure out her identity in case they meet again, know the enemy, and handle it better next time.
"If you’re talking about Huanhuan, she’s called Yu Huan, the heiress of Yu Group. Her aunt married one of Xiao’s cousins, so there’s that distant relation between the families."
"I see." Xia Luo suddenly understood.
No wonder she’s so arrogant; turns out she has family ties with the Zhan Family?
"But you don’t need to be afraid of her. This girl has been spoiled and arrogant since childhood; just the sight of her annoys me. If she troubles you next time, there’s no need to be polite." Ye Ningwan said.
