Chapter 111: 111: Cruise Ship Party (5)

The scene of Zen Fanyu being dragged away by the guards of the guests from the upper deck was seen by everyone on the lower deck of the cruise ship. In such an embarrassing scene, Mr. Zen, who is also the father of Zen Fanyu, had a black face when he saw his son's situation, especially when one of the men who was talking to him recognized Zen Fanyu.

"Mr. Zen, is that your son being dragged away?"

"He seems to come from the direction where the upper deck is."

"The upper deck? Didn't they say that Senior Tian Qiuji is there right now and he is with his friends?"

"The upper deck was reserved for them."

"Friends of Senior Tian are definitely bigshots in society."

"Did your son offend them, Mr. Zen?"

Mr. Zen, looking bewildered and uneasy, responded, "Um, this, I don't know."

They now look a bit unfriendly compared to when Mr. Zen was talking with them before. It seems that these possible investors also felt that the scene of Zen Fanyu being dragged away was a consequence of offending the big shots on the upper deck. They wanted to be away from Mr. Zen, as they were afraid of being affected by whatever his son had done.

"Mr. Zen, it seems that the charity party is about to begin. I should return to my seat."

"Is it that time already? Mr. Zen, excuse me."

"I shall go back to my seat now. As for the conversation from before, you should forget about it."

The candidate investors Mr. Zen had found just now all backed away the moment they heard that his son had offended someone from the upper deck. He was actually terrified when he heard these people mention Elder Tian just now. He knew that the host of tonight's charity was the young heir of the Tian Clan. The Tian Clan is one of the big clans not only in this district but also on the mainland. That's why he knew what kind of fame the Tian family possessed.

Mr. Zen couldn't understand how a usually sensible son would make this kind of mistake at such an important event. He calmed down his anger and also walked away after being left behind. He followed the direction when his son, Zen Fanyu, was dragged out.

On the other hand, at the corner of the cruise ship's lower deck, Taiyang had witnessed everything. A few steps behind him was the overall director of the ship staff. The captain and other important personnel of the cruise ship were also there. They had also realized that the young man who was dragged away just now wanted to look for their owner.

Taiyang said, "You've seen that. Xue'er only asks you to hide the fact that she is the owner of this ship. But that doesn't mean you can allow her to be bullied on her own turf. Do it secretly. If it cannot be hidden as long as you protect her, she will not really be angry. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" They collectively responded.

Taiyang said before walking away, "Continue your duties, but the top priority is the renter of the ship, but Xue'er."

The staff, including the crew ship members as well as the captain, all lowered their heads. Taiyang is the secretary of the owner of this cruise ship. After receiving the report from one of the ship's staff, the captain and the director on the ship were all shocked and wanted to approach the owner and report the current state of the cruise and all other things that involved this ship.

Who would have thought that Taiyang would look for them and tell them to keep some men away from the owner? But they realized that their ship owner is a heavenly defying beauty, and it was only right for them to protect her, albeit secretly. There are many people on this ship who don't have eyes to know her status.

Meanwhile, on the open deck, Zen Fanyu was dragged out.

The guards finally let go of him. Even though he is one of the guests of this charity party, Zen Fanyu didn't complain after being dragged away. After all, it was someone from the Tian Clan who had dragged him away. He recognizes Butler Cui; he might just be an old butler from the Tian Clan, but he is a direct subordinate of Elder Tian.

Who is Senior Tian? Is the current old master of the Tian Clan and is said to possess the highest authority in the whole Tian family. His Zen family might be a rich one, but compared to a behemoth like the Tian Clan, they are nothing but ants compared to an elephant.

The guards looked at him with disdain and said, "Next time, don't act as an acquaintance to the Young Mistress Yue!"

"Don't you know that the Young Mistress is the God-Granddaughter of the Old Master? You truly don't know your place!"

"Hmp! You are now forbidden to approach the upper deck. We will beat you up on the spot the next time we see you."

The two guards left him at this open deck and returned to the area where they were stationed. On the other hand, Zen Fanyu was dumbfounded. He can't believe that Yue Xuexia is the God-granddaughter of Senior Tian. As far as he knows, Yue Xuexia is just from a middle-class family. They can't be considered rich or poor. They are just an average family. Now he is unsure if the lady he saw before is truly the Xuexue in his memories.

Zen Fanyu mumbles, "Did I see it wrong? Was that lady not Xuexue? Sigh~"

He just stood up and patted the dust on him. He leans at the edge of the ship and lets the cold air cool his mind. The night at the sea is quite creepy. You can hear the loud sounds of the waves but you can't see anything at the sea. Except for the bright moon that barely illuminates this dark world, this scene gave people a feeling of melancholy.

This yearning man tried to recall the scene in his distant college life. He was young and fearless. He fell for her almost unexpectedly. His Xuexue is sickly, but that wasn't her fault at all. If not for the disadvantage of her health, she would be one of the perfect ladies in the eyes of men. She is smart, friendly, and down-to-earth.

Zen Fanyu recalled the first time she met her. She entered the class room with an expressionless face. Everyone thought she would cower under their gaze, but she didn't. Yue Xuexia stared back at her and, after a while, ignored them, choosing a corner seat near the front where she could clearly listen to the lesson. Her confident demeanor left them in awe. After all, there are more men in this class, and she is the first female student to arrive.

One of them finally approached her and asked for her name. At first, Yue Xuexia didn't respond and stared at the man who approached her. They didn't know what she thought in this situation or maybe she might think they were hitting on her, but she calmly responded with her name and nodded towards them in a greeting. She was detached and vigilant. They knew she would only calm down once the first class began and saw that they were indeed her batchmates. After all, in college, it wouldn't be surprising to see someone staying in as a seat.

Their first meeting wasn't as memorable as at that time; he still has a girlfriend, and he isn't the type to care for other girls when he is still attached. He kept this distance for a whole year, until their batch was left with only a few of them. Finally, she became friendly with them. In their sophomore year, the other two female students were no longer in their batch. One changed schools, and the other stopped going to class due to financial problems. Because of this, their group becomes even more protective of the sole girl in their group.

The Xuexue that he knew was innocent. She might look unfriendly when expressionless, but when she smiles, she is just a pretty girl. He actually likes her a lot. When he broke up with his girlfriend, it was Yue Xuexia who had accompanied him in a café and stayed with him until she calmed down. She was full of patience and listened to all his grumblings. He can still recall her words that comforted him the most.

{If she truly loves you, she wouldn't leave without telling you a word. It is just that she has chosen a career over love. You will find someone who will stay with you for better or worse. There are lots of women around. You can take your time and find the right one for you.}

The pain in Zen Fanyu's heart was comforted by those words. After all, she is right. There will be a woman who will support him and share his burden. One that will stay with him for better and for worse. When he finally found that woman, his father learned about Xuexue. When he heard about her weak body, his disdain for her is worse than her family background.

In the end, he ordered him to break up with her, or he would destroy her. Zen Fanyu wanted to protect Yue Xuexia. Unfortunately, he is just a student and a son who lives with the money of his father. At that time, Yue Xuexia was hospitalized; he didn't want to break her heart. But he couldn't leave her alone in the hospital and missed a lot of classes, which angered his father. Because of this, his dislike for Yue Xuexia had gotten worse and even told him that his ex-girlfriend is more useful.

On the other hand, his Xuexue is much more worried about him. She assured him that she would be okay alone. That his studies are much more important than hers. She said a lot of words just to convince him to return to class, and all of her words were for his own good. It was at this moment that Zen Fanyu believed that he was unworthy of such an angel. He chose to let her go.

It was just that the moment he did it, he regretted it. But that day, after breaking Yue Xuexia's heart, she disappeared forever from his life. Who would have thought that she would meet her here? He is an adult now. He can protect her even against his own father. Just now, he was unsure if that was still the same Xuexue in his memories.

Zen Fanyu mumbles with sadness in his words. "Xuexue, I'm sorry. I was wrong." He covers his face as if he wanted to cry.

This scene was witnessed by the invisible system. As soon as Shen Jueyang noticed this man seemed to be related to Yue Xuexia, he used all modern means to learn about their relationship. As expected, he was right about the bad feeling this man gave him. He is similar to Sui Lengya from before. It is just that this man is forced by his family to separate from her.

Even though he isn't a complete scum like the first one, the moment he let go of Yue Xuexia at that time, he was not different from Sui Lengya. They both let go of her for their own sake. After learning this, Shen Jueyang decided to find Taiyang. As for what he plans to do, it can only be known once the charity party begins.
