Chapter 871 - The Feelings That You Have For Him Are True

Leng Zhiyuan looked at her and did not say anything.

Han Xuan raised her chin up haughtily as she said, “It is okay if you want to know how Older Brother Zhou is doing. Come and beg me.”

During the entire conversation, Leng Zhiyuan had been the one who had the upper hand, and now, she found a chance to properly insult Leng Zhiyuan.

Leng Zhiyuan had a look at Han Xuan’s expression before she turned around. She sat back on the floor in the corner and closed her eyes as she took a nap.

“You!” her actions shocked Han Xuan, and she said, “Could you not want to know?”

Leng Zhiyuan did not open her eyes. She parted her red lips as she calmly said, “Looking at the smile on her face, he should be fine.”

“Hmph, are you so sure?”

“Yeah, although I do not agree with many things that Miss Han does, there is one thing; the feelings that you have for him are true. If he were in trouble, you would probably be the one crying the most.”

The moment Leng Zhiyuan spoke, Han Xuan’s entire body froze. She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth as she looked at Leng Zhiyuan. Was she mocking her by acting like a victor?

She did not need it!

But it made Han Xuan’s nose go sour. She could swear to heavens about the feelings that she had for Zhou Yao, but these feelings, nobody cared. Even Zhou Yao was unable to see it, and now there was someone who saw it, this person was actually...Leng Zhiyuan, her rival in love.

Wasn’t this such a joke?

Han Xuan’s eyes were all red. She stared at Leng Zhiyuan, who was meditating. She really hated this woman very much. No matter whether she was in jail now, her face was still calm and cool. Even though she was unwilling to admit it, she was also unable to deny the intelligence and wit that the woman in front of her had. She was not easily jealous, and she could stand by Zhou Yao’s side anytime she wanted to. She was the woman who could be by Zhou Yao’s side as he fought...

She herself had to admit that this love rival was a thousand times stronger than her.

But...

Even if this was the case, she was so jealous and hated the woman in front of her. She did not want to lose. Why, why?

Han Xuan threw the envelope that she was holding in her hand over to Leng Zhiyuan’s feet as she said, “You can see for yourself!”

Leng Zhiyuan slowly opened her eyes. She lowered her gaze to look over. The photos in the envelope were all scattered by the side of her feet, and the photos were what Zhou Yao looked like when he had an attack.

She stretched her right hand out to caress the photos. The way that he looked as he had a nosebleed, he scratched himself till his entire body was badly injured. With all of his veins popping out and looking scary...

She’d already guessed that this kind of poison was fatal. If not... If not...he would not have allowed her to wait in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau for a day all by herself. He would not have treated her like that in the bar that night, and he would also not say...forget it...to her.

She knew all of this. Ever since the moment she found out about him getting poisoned.

But at this moment, when she saw these photos before her own eyes, she felt much pain. It was so painful. It was just as if her heart was torn into two halves by someone, and she was in so much pain.

He was never afraid of pain. Old Master Zhou hit him till his flesh bled, and he did not even clench his teeth, and now...he must be in so much pain. What kind of pain was he bearing?

Leng Zhiyuan picked up one photo. It was how he looked after he fainted. She used two hands to cup this photograph against her chest. The tears in her eyes flowed out, as she softly choked up.

Han Xuan stood outside the door as she watched her cry. At this moment, she should have felt extremely happy, but when the woman that was always confident and haughty in front of her finally lowered her head down, the glistening tears in her eyes flowed down relentlessly. She was crying. She was crying! Haha! She finally made her taste this painful feeling.

She should have felt happy, but she was not able to feel happy at all. It turned out... It turned out that this woman could give Zhou Yao this amount of warmth and gentleness.

Han Xuan turned her gaze away forcefully. She smiled boldly as she controlled the tears in her eyes, and she said, “Miss Leng, I probably have to disappoint you. The kind of poison on Older Brother Zhou’s body, I can only temporarily control the poison for now and prevent his death, but talking about creating the cure, I am also helpless. After all, most of the blood in Older Brother Zhou’s body has already died.”

Leng Zhiyuan did not raise her head. She only maintained the same posture and buried her head into her kneecaps as she sobbed.

Han Xuan glanced over at her, and a delighted glow appeared in the bottom of her eyes as she said, “Miss Leng, with me around, at least I can guarantee that Older Brother Zhou will not die, and now, you should not be worried about Older Brother Zhou, but you should be worried about the Zhou family! The Zhou family has been involved in both the military and politics for all these years, and I do not know many of their enemies are all jealous of them. That incident that happened in Bin Jiang Island, they all managed to overcome it, but this time, thanks to you, the Zhou family has been implicated again, and those political enemies are striking and attacking them once again. Let’s see whether you alone are enough to ruin the entire Zhou family!”

Han Xuan shook her sleeves and left.

...

Leng Zhiyuan was done crying. She stretched her hand out to put all of the scattered photos into the envelope, and her slim arms embraced her kneecaps as she sat in a daze.

But very quickly, someone else came over. It was Leng Hao and Ye Xiaotao.

“Zhiyuan!” The two of them stood outside as they called out for her.

Leng Zhiyuan raised her head up before she got up and walked over to face both of them. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, “Older Brother, Xiao Tao.”

Leng Hao’s entire face was solemn, and he said, “What is going on exactly?”

“Older Brother, Zhou Yao was poisoned on Bin Jiang Island, and now the poison is coming into effect. I’ve been locked up. I think that it will be hard for me to escape this time, and someone has to take responsibility for him getting poisoned this time.”

“So you asked Ah Chen to help you with something?”

“Yeah.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head and said, “Over the past few days, Zhou Yao was behaving too abnormally. I already had a bad premonition and already lost out twice, so this time, I made preparation beforehand. I asked Ah Chen to do two things. Firstly, I applied for Overseas Special Protection for Father. With this, even if the matter that happened on Bin Jiang Island necessitates investigation into Dad, we can guarantee that Dad will not be shifted, and to a person in a vegatative state, whether they investigate or not would be just a formality. Dad will be left by our side and receive the best care that he is able to get. Secondly...”

“Secondly, you asked Ah Chen to take your name out of the Leng family’s register. Zhiyuan, do you know what this means? In the future, you will not be the daughter of the Leng family anymore!” Leng Hao bellowed out.

Leng Zhiyuan looked at her older brother’s grim expression as she curled the corners of her lips up and said, “I know. Only by doing this, I can guarantee that no matter what happens, I will not implicate Older Brother or the Leng family. Dad is not able to do anything. In the future, the Leng family will depend on you. You have to be good!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Zhiyuan, you are being way too stubborn. No matter what you did, you did not discuss it with Older Brother at all. Could you have thought that Older Brother would throw his younger sister away? You don’t have to worry. I will definitely think of a plan to rescue you...”

“Older Brother!” Leng Zhiyuan was extremely serious as she interrupted him and said, “If you are really doing this for my good, then please don’t intervene in my matters. Don’t waste my hopes that I have for you, and don’t let down my hard work and conscience.”
