Zhan's pov~
I took off my noise cancellation ear buds after my call was done, I leaned back on my chair and stretched my limbs before I sighed deeply. There was too much work today, after handling countless emails and calls, I was tired. I still had some work left, but I am going to put that on hold and spend some time with my family and most importantly Yibo.
I smiled and got up before heading down, eager to join the others. However, I soon heard the commotion downstairs and rushed there.
When I reached the living room, the atmosphere was tense, Yanli and Cheng looked angry, Uncle and Aunt were trying to calm everyone down.
I looked around but couldn't find Yibo. Once I stepped in the middle, all eyes were on me, my gut told me that something was wrong.
I had a terrible feeling.
"Where is Yibo? What happened?" I asked as I looked around, "Yibo?" I called out his name, but he did not answer. I looked around the house, but I did not find him.
Where did he go without telling me?
Where did he vanish?
Vanish.
My heart started to beat faster and I felt a pit in my stomach, my palms became sweaty, I went back to the room and asked, "Where is Yibo! What happened here?" I looked at Yanli and Cheng, and asked more sternly, "What happened?"
They looked at me but it was Danny who spoke, "We just learned the reality of your boytoy."
Max added, "Seriously, how could you bring someone like him into the family?"
My grandfather spoke, "I am so disappointed in you, like him? You should have found someone better, someone who is up to the standards of the family."
Max added, "Exactly, it's about time you come out of your fantasy and see the reality, this is not some romantic drama."
"SHUT UP!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, this is the first time I have yelled so loud at my family, I was fuming, I was raging, I was so close to hurting these people, how dare they talk about Yibo like that I looked at Cheng an walked towards him grabbing his shoulders harshly, "Tell me what the fuck happened Cheng. Tell me!"
Cheng spoke, "Jessie forced him to drink alcohol, Yibo resisted and said no, he pushed Jessie away, and so Jessie started to shame him, he had dug Yibo's past and told it to everyone, he called him a drug addict and gold digger and also badmouthed his mother. He shamed him in front of everyone. Grandpa and Uncle Max all supported him.
He made Yibo extremely uncomfortable and made him cry."
I saw red after hearing that, I was shaking with anger, I was so fucking mad that I wanted to kill Jsiee, I stared at him with so much rage that he took a step back, everyone was worried.
Jessie stared at me and tried to denfed his actions, "I did it for your own good Zhan he is not the good guy for you, he is for you for your money, he came back because of your money he is just going to use you, I swear I was just worried about you.
You deserve someone better, he is just manipulating you, so I just made things easy for you, I am just helping you to see the truth. You deserve so much better than that drug addict slut-"
I saw red, I jumped at Jessie and grabbed his cooler and punched him right across the face, he fell to the ground and I sat over him and kept on punching his face,I was going to kill him today, how dare he hurt my Yibo.
How dare he badmouthed how dare he, how dare HOW DARE HE!
I felt people grabbing me trying to pull me off Jessie, but I had murder on my mind, I was eventually pulled away from him. I hadn't been pulled away, then I would have killed this guy. I had tolerated Jessie when he had messed me and tried to harm me, but the moment he tried to harm Yibo, he invited his doom, I will make sure he suffers, son of a bitch. Yibo is where I draw the line.
No one has the right to harm him. And if anyone tried, then I will make sure they do not get away with that.
"ZHAN STOP IT!" My uncle said as he harshly pushed me back, Cheng and Danny were holding me tightly, while Jessie was lying in a pool of blood.
I was breathing heavily. "I will not calm down! I am so done with this stalker, this thief, this fukcer! If you all want him as your family fine! keep him, I am going no contact!" I glared at Lucy and said, "Lucy, you are a horrible cousin, A horrible person, I fuckung hate you! I will never forgive you for bringing this damn motherfucker into my life again! I no longer what happens to you, I wish you along life with this fucker because I know it will be miserable."
She was crying hysterically and I looked at my grandfather, "And you, let me tell you one things you piece of shit human fucker! I fucking hate you too, you are a shit father, a shit grandpa, you are the reason my father suffered so much, you fucking killer! You are the reason my maternal grandpa's sister died you fucking manwhore! You are not even man enough to accept your wrongdoings and your shortcomings and you want to the be patriarch, like just fuck off!"
"Zhan enough" my uncle said.
My grandmother was crying as she said, "Zhan honey-"
"I don't want to hear it, grandma. You should have said something before, but the truth is you never spoke against him. You never spoke up for your son or for me, and you are not a good mother either." I said, I looked at my grandma and I regretted saying those words to her, I was just taking my anger out on her, I was truly despicable, tears slipped through my eyes as I turned and walked out of the house.
I took out my phone once I came out of my hands were shaking and my tears slipped non-stop as I tried to call Yibo, I was having difficulty in breathing and my chest hurt.
I somehow reached my car and stood near it, however, I couldn't control my body anymore and crouched down in front of it, if Yibo vanished again,n then I would die.
I would not survive it, I would die.
I cried as I held my chest and called Yibo, but he was not answering, the thought of losing him made my heart hurt, I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.
"Zhan." I heard Yanli's voice, she sat beside me and hugged me.
Cheng was there too.
"He is having a panic attack," Cheng said.
Yanli tried to calm me down, "breathe Zhan breathe."
"What happened." I heard aunt Nara's voice.
Yanpi answered, "he is having a panic attack, aunt."
"Oh my Zhan," she said as she cupped my face and made me look at her, "breathe, follow my voice and breathe dear. come inhale, exhale."
I tried my best to follow her voice and did the breathing exercise before I was finally calm.
"Aunt... I am sorry. I am so sorry for behaving like that." I cried as I hugged her, I was afraid of losing Yibo, but I was also afraid of losing my family.
"I was just so scared that I might lose Yibo, I will really die this time if I lose him, I am just so scared, I am sorry, what if I never see him again? What if he runs away like last time?" I rambled.
My aunt wiped my tears and hugged me tightly, trying to calm me down. Once I was calm enough, she broke the hug and cupped my face, "look at me Zhan," she said in a stern voice.
"Yibo will not go anywhere, you are going to calm down, wash your face and then sit in the car, Cheng and Yanli will drive you take you to Yibo's house, and there you will talk to him if you do not find him then were are going to look for him, but I promise you this time you he will not vanish.
I will find him for you. Now go wash your face and get ready to leave."
I wiped my tears and took a deep breath before I got up and washed my face.
Before I sat in the car, I once again looked at my aunt, "I am sorry for the commotion, I said a lot of things to everyone inside, do you think uncle would be mad?"
"He will come around," she said as she patted my cheek, and gave me a small smile, "now go."
I gave her a nod before I sat in the car.
The car ride was silent and no one said a word. I asked Cheng to drop me at Yibo's place.
I thanked them for the ride, before they drove away, I walked up to Yibo's front door and rang the doorbell, but no one answered, so I just sat beside the door and waited for him.
