Chapter 705: Give Up On This Idea

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As soon as she said this, the other three people looked at Zhan Haoze, especially Mother Shi and Father Shi, their gazes changed.

“ngru, what are you talking about?” Shi ngwan looked at her sister. Even if Zhan Haoze had a fiancée, he didn’t say that.

Shi ngru pouted and turned her phone to face her parents. “I’m not wrong. It’s written on the news.”

Shi ngwan wouldn’t have known about this. However, their classmate was playing a ga that was released by XM Company.

One had to know that the ga released by XM Company was very popular. Every ti it was released, it would beco popular. The Cosmic Gar that was released recently had many classmates who were playing it in their school.

Although Shi ngru didn’t play gas, because her classmates were all playing it, she had played a few tis.

After that, she felt that it was a waste of ti and didn’t play anymore. However, it was on the day that she unloaded the ga that she happened to see the news.

Even though Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei’s news wasn’t celebrities, XM’s results were too eye-catching, especially the cosmic gar, it had been the number one downloaded ga for several months in a row.

Therefore, players naturally paid attention to it.

For ordinary players, so what even if they knew that Zhan Haoze had abandoned his fiancée because he had a mistress? Nothing mattered as long as the ga was fun.

Because of this, Shi ngru had many argunts with her classmates. She felt that she didn’t want to use a product developed by a company run by a person with bad character.

She had no choice. A child raised by Father Shi and Mother Shi was just like that.

Therefore, when she heard the familiar na Zhan Haoze and thought of XM, she imdiately took out her phone to look for news.

This matter was indeed a little too big. One had to know that XM was different from the big groups that operated traditional industries like the Tianyu Group and the Li Corporation. XM mainly focused on gas and was very well-known among the young people.

Zhan Haoze used to be very mysterious. However, ever since he got engaged to Chen Feifei, he was considered a celebrity in Lin City because of his good looks.

However, the way Shi ngru looked at Zhan Haoze now wasn’t very appreciative.

Although she was young, her sense of right and wrong was very strong. She was afraid that Mother Shi couldn’t see clearly, so she deliberately enlarged her phone for her parents to see.

“Dad, Mom, look. It’s not what I said, it’s what the news said.”

Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei broke off their engagent less than a week ago, and it was still a hot topic. Looking online, they saw that there were a lot of reports.

Of course, many of these reports were not true. But no one cared whether they were true or not.

Chen Feifei wanted to say it that day, but she was shy. Her implicative attitude seed to explain it clearly. In fact, it made all the reporters in Lin City imagine a big drama.

Every dia outlet even wrote a different story. Yet, there were people who believed it.

For example, the news on a certain website was: Zhan Haoze liked the new and disliked the old. He abandoned his childhood sweetheart. He left his childhood sweetheart to support the Chen Corporation.

Another example was a well-known magazine that wrote: Why did XM Company abandon his childhood sweetheart? The identity of the mistress was mysterious, and her background was a mystery, but one thing was certain, she was definitely better than Chen Feifei.

There were also other kinds of news. The general content was like this.

These few days, Shi ngwan and Zhan Haoze only cared about each other. As for this news, because Zhan Haoze had promised Chen Feifei that she could say whatever she wanted, Tang Hua and the others found out about it, but no one actually ca to tell Zhan Haoze.

More importantly, Tang Hua and the others didn’t treat this matter as a big deal. Compared to the Zhan family’s matter, a small piece of news would naturally be suppressed in two days.

So it wasn’t just Shi ngwan who didn’t know. More importantly, Zhan Haoze also didn’t know that he had beco a news figure.

While Shi ngru was talking, Shi ngwan also picked up her phone and started scrolling through the news.

With this scrolling, her expression beca a little strange. The mont she finished reading the news, Father Shi and Mother Shi finished reading as well.

The four mbers of the Shi family didn’t say anything and looked at Zhan Haoze in unison.

Zhan Haoze: ..

“Aunty, uncle, this matter actually –”

“Mr. Zhan, I’m sorry,” Mother Shi spoke first. In this family, she definitely had a high status.

“Because of our lowly status, our Wanwan isn’t compatible with Mr. Zhan, so Mr. Zhan, please.”

It wasn’t right for a country person to chase soone away halfway through a al. This was too shaful. However, Mother Shi actually did such a disrespectful thing.

“That’s right.”

Father Shi glared at Zhan Haoze coldly. He was already dissatisfied with the man who was going to marry his daughter, so he was even more dissatisfied now.

“Mr. Zhan, please leave.”

Shi ngru blinked and suddenly stopped talking.

Shi ngwan looked at her family and finally looked at Zhan Haoze. “I’m a mistress?”

Was it because she was a mistress that caused him to break off the engagent with Chen Feifei? That’s what the news said, right?

“Wanwan, you know you’re not.”

“I don’t know.” Shi ngwan hated herself for not seeing the news earlier. If she had seen it earlier, she definitely wouldn’t have brought Zhan Haoze back.

“I only found out now.”

“Wanwan...”

“You know that Chen Feifei announced the annulnt, right?”

“Yes.” Zhan Haoze couldn’t deny that he did know.

“She said that you broke off the engagent with her because there was a third party. You know that too, right?”

“I didn’t know.” Zhan Haoze shook his head. “I only said that she could find any excuse she wanted.”

However, Zhan Haoze didn’t expect that Chen Feifei would actually find such an excuse.

Zhan Haoze t the Shi family’s two elders’ eyes and felt a little awkward for a mont. However, what was more important now was Shi ngwan. He had absolutely no intention of turning her into a mistress.

“Wanwan?”

Shi ngwan turned around and didn’t listen to Zhan Haoze’s explanation.

She looked at Father Shi and Mother Shi. “Dad, Mom, this isn’t what you think.”

The press conference and Chen Feifei saying that she was a mistress could all be slowly explained. But right now, she needed her parents’ support.

“Wanwan.” Mother Shi didn’t expect that Shi ngwan would still speak up for Zhan Haoze at this ti.

Father Shi’s face turned green. “Enough, stop talking. I won’t allow the two of you to be together. Mr. Zhan, you can leave.”

“Dad.” Shi ngwan wanted to say sothing, but Father Shi raised his hand and didn’t listen to her. “Don’t call . I’ll say it again. I won’t allow the two of you to be together. Let him go.”

“It’s not Haoze’s fault.” Shi ngwan stood up. She didn’t believe her parents were so unreasonable. “Besides, I knew about this.”

“You knew?” Father Shi stood up and looked at her angrily. “What did you know? You knew? Huh?”

“It’s true that this man had a fiancée, right? Did you get together with him when he had a fiancée? Is that right? Tell .”

“Dad, it’s not what you think.”

“Then what is it?” Father Shi had always been straightforward. Although he couldn’t say that he was rich and powerful, he was very strict in educating his daughter.

Especially after Shi ngwan ran away from ho for more than a year, Father Shi and Mother Shi’s attitude towards child-rearing changed after she returned.

“Let ask you, did he get together with you when he had a fiancée?”

Shi ngwan was speechless and Zhan Haoze stood up as well. “Uncle, it’s not Wanwan’s fault. It’s my fault. I didn’t manage my own problems in ti. Wanwan can’t be blad for this.”

“Of course it’s your fault,” Father Shi said bluntly. “But you’re no one to . I don’t want to see you now. I’m just educating my daughter.”

“You –” He pointed at Shi ngwan. “If you still acknowledge as your father, you can break up with him.”

“Dad.” Shi ngwan was speechless. She had waited so long for Zhan Haoze to break off the engagent. She could be together with him openly.

The process was indeed not very smooth, and it wasn’t a good one either. But wouldn’t it be fine if the result was good?

“Father-in-law.”

“Don’t call that, I can’t afford it.” Father Shi’s temper flared up as he pointed in the direction of the door. “Go Away, don’t force to make a move.”

Zhan Haoze stood there with an unusually awkward expression on his face. Other than the Zhan family, it had been a long ti since anyone gave him a hard ti.

“Uncle, Wanwan and I are truly in love, we –”

“You’re truly in love? Since you’re truly in love with Wanwan, why are you getting engaged to another woman?”

“Dad.” When had Shi ngwan ever seen Zhan Haoze like this? She couldn’t help but want to say sothing on his behalf. “Haoze and Chen Feifei were engaged because they –”

“Shut up. I’ll settle your problem with you later.”

Father Shi only glared at Zhan Haoze. “Now, get the hell out of my house.”

“Dad.”

“If you speak again, even you will be chased out.”

Father Shi’s words made Shi ngwan dare not to speak anymore. She, not intending to let it go just like that, stood there. She still wanted to say more.

Zhan Haoze saw that she wanted to argue with Father Shi, so he patted her shoulder and glanced at her. He signaled her to stop talking.

“Uncle, Auntie, it’s okay if you don’t want to see now. I can leave first. But there’s one thing I want you to understand. I’m sincere about Wanwan.”

Zhan Haoze didn’t say anything more and left just like that.

Shi ngwan moved her toes and almost chased after him. This action made Father Shi’s expression turn even uglier.

“Sis.” Shi ngru didn’t say anything until now. When she saw how things had turned out, she quickly tugged at Shi ngwan’s sleeve.

Her parents were currently in a fit of anger, so it was better for her not to provoke them.

Mother Shi couldn’t bear it and wanted to say sothing, but seeing her daughter like this, she didn’t say anything.

Father Shi looked at Shi ngwan, who was still standing there, and slapped the table hard. “Why are you still standing there? You’re not eating, huh?”

Shi ngwan knew that her father was in a fit of anger, so she didn’t intend to go against him. She obediently sat down.

In the countryside house, the dining hall was the main hall. Shi ngwan and Zhan Haoze were sitting with their backs facing the door. When she stood up, her line of sight was blocked.

The mont she sat down, Shi ngru saw it. Zhan Haoze hadn’t left yet.

She quickly winked at her sister. Shi ngwan wanted to turn around, but Father Shi slapped the table again. “Can’t eat properly, huh?”

Shi ngwan didn’t turn around. She had probably guessed it.

Mother Shi also saw it, but she didn’t say anything. Father Shi didn’t like Zhan Haoze now. Seeing that he wasn’t leaving, he shouted at the outside.

“Don’t try to play the pity card. It’s useless for you to stand there. Leave my house. We don’t welco you in our house.”

Zhan Haoze stood there, but he didn’t have any intention of leaving. Father Shi almost couldn’t control himself and wanted to get up to chase Zhan Haoze out of the courtyard. However, his sleeve was pulled by Mother Shi, so he could only sit back down.

Shi ngwan let out a sigh of relief, but she didn’t turn around to look. This side was close to Lin City, but it was in the south of Lin City. It was noon. Although it wasn’t midsumr yet, the sun was very scorching.

Zhan Haoze, showing no signs of leaving, just stood under the sun.

Shi ngwan didn’t have much of an appetite. She casually ate two mouthfuls of rice, but in the end, she turned to look at Zhan Haoze.

As if sensing her gaze, Zhan Haoze also looked at her and smiled at her.

Father Shi slapped the table again. Shi ngwan could only look away and lower her head to focus on eating.

“Child’s father –”

Although it was noon and there weren’t many people passing by, in the countryside, the doors of houses weren’t closed during the day when there were people around.

This Zhan Haoze was just standing in their yard like a thorn. In case soone saw —

“You don’t want to eat peacefully either, huh?” Father Shi rarely spoke to his wife in a bad tone.

As a result, no one in the family spoke. After eating, Shi ngru took the initiative to stand up to clean the dishes and went to wash the dishes. She gave Shi ngwan a look and then quickly ran into the kitchen.

“Dad. Mom.”

Shi ngwan didn’t turn around to look outside. She only looked at her parents. “Zhan Haoze isn’t what you think. and him aren’t what you think either.”

Father Shi didn’t want to hear it. He wanted to chase Zhan Haoze out right now. Out of sight, out of mind.

He stood up and was about to walk out when Shi ngwan called out.

“Dad. Zhan Haoze is Dear Brother.”

Father Shi’s footsteps stopped, and Mother Shi turned around to look at Shi ngwan.

“Dad, Mom, Zhan Haoze is the Dear Brother from back then.”

Father Shi and mother Shi knew about the Dear Brother Incident. When Shi ngwan was brought back, she had nightmares for a long ti at night.

She kept calling him Dear Brother in her dreams.

For a while, Father Shi thought she was ntally ill and wanted to take her to see a psychiatrist.

But one day, Shi ngwan stopped dreaming and stopped screaming at night. They thought that the matter was over.

Father Shi even thought that the so-called Dear Brother was a character that Shi ngwan had imagined herself.

Otherwise, how could there be no news at all? But Mother Shi didn’t think that this matter was fake.

When she heard her daughter ntion this na in the past, she knew that her daughter hadn’t forgotten Zhan Haoze.

“Zhan Haoze is Dear Brother.”

Shi ngwan added on. She had never told her parents about the past year or so. She only briefly ntioned that she had been saved by a big brother and had lived together for a year.

However, many details and interactions between two people were the most precious and precious mories to her. She didn’t want to tell anyone, not even her parents.

“If feelings co first, I’m not the third party.”

Shi ngwan told Mother Shi about what happened back then in a very low voice. After that, she talked about the nightmare that caused her to completely separate from her big brother.

“Big Brother offended so people back then, so we t so bad people. When you found , Big Brother was gone. In fact, he was saved by Chen Feifei, the young madam of the Chen family, his ex-fiancée.”

Zhan Haoze didn’t tell Shi ngwan about this part, it was her deduction.

“The Chen family saved Dear Brother’s life. He is a person who knows how to repay kindness, especially because of Chen Feifei’s health. She has heart disease. So when the family wanted to let the two of them be together, Dear Brother agreed.”

“But then we t again.” Of course, Shi ngwan wouldn’t say that she never gave up, it was also her own initiative to find Zhan Haoze.

“Dear Brother owes the Chen family a favor, so he agreed to let the woman propose to break off the engagent. I can understand Chen Feifei thinking that way. After all, she needs a good reputation.”

These were only Shi ngwan’s speculations, but these were basically the facts.

“Chen Feifei is a woman. She has to say this now. Do you want Dear Brother to confront her and refute her?”

She believed that even if Zhan Haoze knew, he wouldn’t do it. First, the Chen family had done him a favor after all. Second, Zhan Haoze looked cold, but he was not stingy to people who had no conflict of interest with him.

Shi ngwan looked up at her parents and said, “This is how it is. It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. I have never been a third party, and I believe that no one will ntion this matter again in a while.”

People were forgetful. They weren’t celebrities. More importantly, she was about to go to Qing City with Zhan Haoze. Under such circumstances, why would she care about those rumors?

Father Shi and Mother Shi were silent. After hearing Shi ngwan’s words, they looked at each other, and then at Shi ngwan.

“You said that Zhan Haoze is the youth who saved you back then?” Mother Shi’s expression changed. Her thinking was different from a man’s.

To her, whoever saved her daughter would also be her savior.

“Yes.” Shi ngwan nodded. “Dad, didn’t you tell to be grateful? Big Brother saved , so he’s my savior. Now that you’ve chased my savior out, you don’t usually teach us like this, right?”

Father Shi was stumped by Shi ngwan, and he almost couldn’t speak, but it was only for a mont.

“Don’t go so far.” Father Shi sneered. “You said he saved you? Then do you know how many injuries you had when we brought you back from the police? Do these injuries count as because of him?”

“...”Shi ngwan was speechless for a mont.

Father Shi said again, “Yes, he saved you. But you just said that when you lived together, you helped him clean up, cook, and wash clothes. Does that count as you helping him too?”

Shi ngwan was speechless. Her lips moved. She wanted to say sothing, but Father Shi spoke again.

“Okay, even if it was in the past, you said that he saved you, but you took care of his life. Is this considered a clean slate? You said that he took care of you, arranged a school for you, and took care of you. Then it’s also true that you almost died because of him, right? Does this count as a clean slate?”

“But...” How could a relationship be counted in such a way?

“The past is clean. I’ll say what happened after you two reunited. After you two reunited, he was still with that Miss Chen, right?”

“That’s because –”

“I don’t care about the reason. I’m only asking you, isn’t it? When you two were together, was he still connected to that Miss Chen?”

Shi ngwan’s mouth opened and closed again and again. When she t Father Shi’s eyes, she froze and couldn’t give a negative answer.

“Let’s take a step back and say it’s fine. Even if he wants to repay the favor, it’s his business to repay the favor. What does it have to do with you? He dragged you into the water and made you bear the accusation of being a third party. Is this his reason? Are you going to be criticized because of him?”

“We can –”

“Just tell , is it so?”

Shi ngwan couldn’t refute. Father Shi sneered, “That’s why you’ve said so much now. You want to agree to the two of you being together. I’ll tell you. It’s impossible.”

As long as he was there, it was absolutely impossible. He would never agree to Zhan Haoze and Shi ngwan being together.

“But dad, I really like him. I –”

“You really like him and really want to be with him. And then?” Father Shi’s gaze was sharp. “Haven’t you ever thought about what you’ll face if you’re really together?”

He knocked on the table and his voice was much colder than before. “Others won’t care about his difficulties and won’t think about what happened to him. Others will only know that he had a marriage contract and it was annulled later. And the reason for the annulnt is because of you.”

“No –”

“And you want to be with him under the na of a third party. Do you think that this matter will fade after a long ti? You’re making a big mistake.”

In fact, Father Shi didn’t believe that Shi ngwan didn’t think of these things.

But even if she had thought of it, she probably wouldn’t have cared. Because in Father Shi’s opinion, she had already been blinded by feelings.

“Let tell you, if you really want to be with him, these things won’t go away. Do you know that?”

Shi ngwan sat there without moving. Of course she knew, but she really didn’t care.

After more than ten years of waiting, she had been angry and desperate. Compared to then, the disappointnt now was much lighter.

She could finally be with her Dear Brother. She was more grateful. Moreover, she didn’t think that this matter couldn’t be changed.

“In short, I won’t agree.”

As he spoke, Father Shi stood up and walked out. He glared at Zhan Haoze, who was still standing in the courtyard. “Mr. Zhan, our house is too shabby, and can’t accommodate a Buddha like you. Mr. Zhan, please move.”

“Father-in-law.”

“I said, don’t call father-in-law. I can’t afford it. Please.”

As he spoke, he directly pushed Zhan Haoze. Zhan Haoze was in great shape. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have been pushed out by Father Shi.

However, this person was his future father-in-law, so he naturally couldn’t make a move on him. Therefore, he actually easily let Father Shi push him out. Then, Father Shi slamd the gate of the yard. He directly locked Zhan Haoze out.
