Chapter 130: Find a Way to Keep It from Her

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Find a Way to Keep It from Her

"But what about the Madam?" The bodyguard knew he was overstepping, but thinking of how he had been concealing the truth, yet the madam had apologized to him.

He admitted that his heart had softened.

Fu Xingzhou said, "First, let’s keep it from her. After the surgery, I’ll explain everything to her."

After the bodyguard left, only Fu Xingzhou remained in the deserted corridor.

He sat there quietly, seemingly in despair, lifeless.

He clearly had it all, yet fate played such a cruel joke on him.

When a man’s power defies fate, he doesn’t need to make choices, because everything he wants is easily within his grasp.

But this time, he had to make a difficult choice between his family and hers.

And he was selfish!

He knew the consequences well; once Ye Yan found out, a chasm would form between them, impossible to bridge.

Ye Yan and Meng Tian were hurrying to Pujing Casino.

"Ah Yan, I saw Xiao Zhun a while ago," Meng Tian thought back to that day, vaguely sensing it was related to Xiao Zhun’s disappearance, "He came home to get his ID card."

"He came back home?"

"He said he was entering a competition, and to surprise you, told me not to inform you," Meng Tian now regretted it deeply, realizing Xiao Zhun’s abnormal behavior. If she had noticed it then, maybe all this could have been prevented.

But at that time, she was with Tang Jingyao, and the embarrassment of being caught by Xiao Zhun made her lose her keen observation skills.

"I’m sorry, Ah Yan, I should’ve noticed earlier."

"How can you blame yourself? Even I, his sister, didn’t notice anything was wrong, it’s my fault."

If Xiao Zhun returned home to get his ID card, what was he planning to do?

Regardless, this must be somehow related to Ye Jian’an.

Ye Yan and Meng Tian had just arrived at Pujing when a call came in - shockingly, it was Xiao Zhun’s number.

"Xiao Zhun," Ye Yan shouted eagerly, "Is that you?"

"Sister." The voice on the other end was indeed Xiao Zhun.

Ye Yan, overwhelmed with joy, cried, "Xiao Zhun, where are you? Sister is coming right now."

"Sister, don’t worry, I am with Dad."

"It’s because you’re with him that I’m worried," Ye Yan clenched her phone, "What is he doing taking you to the casino? And why did he ask for leave from your teacher?"

Xiao Zhun paused momentarily on the other end, "Sister, I am fine right now, please stop asking."

"Xiao Zhun..."

"Sister, our family will get better, trust me."

Before Ye Yan could say another word, Xiao Zhun had already hung up. Calling back, the line was unreachable.

Ye Yan pressed her forehead against the phone’s screen, half delighted with the news from Xiao Zhun, yet also worried about his mysterious behavior.

What is he really up to?

"Ah Yan, since Xiao Zhun called himself, it shows he’s not in immediate danger," Meng Tian comforted her, "Stop worrying, let me take you to eat something."

She had hardly eaten all day, the strain of the surgery still unsubsided, and she had been running around.

Only when Meng Tian mentioned it did she realize her hunger.

The two went to a clay pot restaurant, the warm broth soothing their stomachs, helping Ye Yan’s tense nerves slowly relax.

The calm aura of everyday life around, the soft music in the restaurant, the air faintly tinged with the aroma of wine.

Ye Yan finally began to recall all the oddities about Fu Xingzhou.

If Mr. Fu were critically ill, there was no need for him not to answer her calls; he only had to say something.

Moreover, he knew very well what Ye Zhun meant to her.

Ye Zhun had an incident, and the bodyguards must have informed him, but even now, he remained indifferent.

"Ah Yan, you look pale. Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Yan shook her head. "Let’s go sing."

However, when they got to the KTV, Ye Yan didn’t choose any songs but ordered a bottle of red wine instead.

"With your alcohol tolerance, stop drinking." Meng Tian knew she was in a bad mood. Saying they were going to sing was an excuse; she actually wanted to numb herself with alcohol. "Since Xiao Zhun is okay now, you should just go home."

"I don’t want to go back." Ye Yan snatched the wine bottle from Meng Tian’s hand and poured herself a drink.

"Did you have a fight with Mr. Fu?" Meng Tian was also puzzled why Fu Xingzhou hadn’t shown up yet. Seeing Ye Yan’s condition, there must have been a conflict between them.

Ye Yan downed most of her glass in silence, then, spurred by the alcohol, said, "His father is critically ill. I understand his feelings, but what I don’t understand is, has he really not had even a minute to call? Even if it was just for one minute to explain? Okay, even if he’s too busy, why doesn’t he answer when I call him, choosing instead to have a bodyguard deal with me? Doesn’t he realize that I’m worried about him too?"

"It’s his fault. Once his father’s condition improves, you can scold him then." Meng Tian tried to prevent her from drinking more, but Ye Yan pushed her away.

"His father is important to him, and Xiao Zhun is important to me."

She cried and drank, Meng Tian simply couldn’t stop her.

Ye Yan’s alcohol tolerance was known to her; during the engagement dinner last time, she had blacked out after just one glass of white wine and texted the next day, swearing never to drink again.

Now, watching her drink one glass after another, Meng Tian was both angry and heartbroken.

Angry at Fu Xingzhou’s attitude, heartbroken at her friend’s sorrow drowned in alcohol.

Furious, she called Tang Jingyao.

Fu Xingzhou was his brother; if her friend was unhappy, he had to share the blame.

Tang Jingyao had just answered when he was lambasted.

He admitted he was robust, but he wasn’t there to take the blame either.

"You and Fu Xingzhou are both bastards."

"Forensic Doctor Meng, recently, other than fooling around with you, I haven’t done anything bad, right?" Tang Jingyao felt he was more wronged than Dou E.

Hearing him use such crude language, Meng Tian grew even angrier. "You men are all the same, always bullying others."

After scolding him, Meng Tian hung up the phone.

Leaving Tang Jingyao to sulk alone.

Tang Jingyao guessed that Meng Tian’s unwarranted anger must be related to Ye Yan.

Considering today’s event, he also found Fu Xingzhou’s handling of the situation bizarre; Ye Zhun was in trouble, yet he hadn’t helped immediately, no wonder Ye Yan was upset.

Tang Jingyao, unfairly berated, was definitely going to lash back.

After the ringtone went on for a while, a hoarse male voice came through.

"Sick?"

"Something wrong?" Fu Xingzhou’s tone wasn’t impatient, but it was lackluster.

"I’m fine, but Dr. Ye has a problem."

Fu Xingzhou suddenly sat upright. "What happened to Ye Yan?"

"She’s with Meng Tian, probably drank too much." Hearing Fu Xingzhou’s response, it seemed unlikely they had fought. His concern was genuine; Dr. Ye was still a soft spot in his heart. "If it’s your fault, go apologize to avoid me getting scolded because of you."

"I’m in Hong Kong." Fu Xingzhou pinched his brow. "Do me a favor and make sure she gets home safely."
