Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 321 Yi Fanxi's Past (2)

“Don’t feel guilty, consider this my apology on behalf of Qin Yun.” Yi Fanxi suddenly spoke, startling Yan Zuozuo. But the next second, she suddenly became angry, “She’s an adult now, she has to be responsible for her own actions. How long are you going to clean up her mess? Can’t you think about yourself? You’re in this state and you’re still thinking about her, you really are…”

Suddenly, Yan Zuozuo covered her mouth. Good heavens, what was she saying? This was their family matter; why was she meddling? Besides, this had nothing to do with Qin Yun. What were they even talking about?

She tapped her head in frustration and looked at Yi Fanxi awkwardly, "Actually... I, that..."

Seeing Yan Zuozuo's aggressive demeanor just now, Yi Fanxi blinked, and her originally cold and hard facial features softened. "My mother passed away when I was ten years old. She had a child out of wedlock, and everyone looked down on her. After she passed away, no one was willing to adopt me. If it weren't for my adoptive father, I would have been sent to an orphanage long ago. No matter what Qin Yun is like, she will always be my adoptive father's only biological daughter."

Yan Zuozuo's heart softened. This seemingly cold and aloof design genius, indifferent to everything and everyone, actually had such a tender side. For a moment, she felt that this man was actually quite kind.

"My adoptive father knew he had wronged his missing daughter, so he gave me all his love and did everything he could to earn money and send me abroad to study. I know very well that without my adoptive father, I wouldn't be where I am today." As she said this, Yi Fanxi turned her head to look out the window, and her originally indifferent eyes were covered with a faint warmth.

Yan Zuozuo just looked at him, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.

"Perhaps I committed too many sins in my past life, which is why God played such a joke on me in this life." Yi Fanxi smiled bitterly, a touch of sadness on his lips. "I actually met my biological father abroad."

Yan Zuozuo stared at him with wide eyes. How could he recognize her after so many years?

“Because of my face, I have an almost identical face to my mother.” Yi Fanxi lowered her eyes, making it impossible to read her emotions. “He recognized me the moment he saw me. He confessed to me, apologized to me, and wanted to make amends. He said a lot and did a lot, and I even believed him.”

ha?

Seeing Yan Zuozuo's confused look, Yi Fanxi smiled and said, "In the end, he was just old and childless, and unwilling to hand over his career to others, so he wanted me to be his puppet."

Yan Zuozuo looked at him, her ears filled with his strained voice, and she clenched her fists in anger.

"After I discovered his intentions and wanted to leave him, he did something I could never accept in my life." Yi Fanxi's face darkened, grief and indignation welling up in his eyes, his fingers unconsciously tightening their grip on the bedsheets. After a long while, as if realizing his loss of composure, he took a deep breath and said, "So, I really did inherit his business and control everything he had, but not to be his puppet..."

He narrowed his eyes, not continuing, but Yan Zuozuo knew very well that he was seeking revenge on his father. But what unforgivable thing had his father done to turn them against each other?

She pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "Hatred won't make you happy, it will only destroy you. Even if your mother were alive, she probably wouldn't want to see you and your father like this."

When Yi Fanxi heard Yan Zuozuo mention his mother, his body stiffened, and his gaze suddenly turned strange. Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, somewhat at a loss, and tentatively asked, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Yi Fanxi closed her eyes, unconsciously clenched her fist, and when she opened them again, she had returned to her cold demeanor. "No, you're right."

Although he said that, Yan Zuozuo always felt that he didn't think that way. She wasn't sure if she had seen it wrong, but she actually saw a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

She was startled. Had she seen wrong?

“If my mother were still alive, she would never want me to see that person.” Yi Fanxi’s eyes darkened.

Yan Zuozuo looked at him, and after a long while, she slowly spoke, "Then...how did your mother die? Maybe she still cared about your father..."

Seeing Yan Zuozuo's timid appearance, Yi Fanxi gave a self-deprecating smile, "Since you're already dead, does it matter how you die?"

Faced with Yi Fanxi's nonchalant demeanor, Yan Zuozuo was momentarily speechless. She felt she'd chosen a foolish topic, and now she was in an awkward situation.

"Thank you for listening to my rambling. If you really feel bad for me, cook for me sometime." After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep, as if to say goodbye.

Yan Zuozuo looked at him and suddenly remembered that he had said before that her cooking tasted just like his mother's. Come to think of it, he was just a bit cold on the outside, but deep down he was actually a very gentle man.

Seeing that Yi Fanxi was about to sleep, she touched her nose and turned to leave. She could cook for them later as a way of thanking them.

However, just as she stepped out of the ward, she was surprised to see Chi's mother standing there, looking angry. Before she could even speak, Chi's mother approached with a displeased expression, "Why aren't you staying in your ward when you're injured? What are you doing running around everywhere?"

Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "Mom, Yi Fanxi got injured because of me, so I went to check on him..."

“I’ve heard everything. He risked his life for you. We should go and see him.” Mother Chi spoke reasonably on the surface, but her tone was laced with sarcasm.

Yan Zuozuo was embarrassed and at a loss for what to do when she heard Chi Ran say, "Mom, my sister-in-law is injured. Let her go back to her ward to rest first."

Chi's mother glanced at Yan Zuozuo and walked towards the ward first. Chi Ran followed behind her, supporting Yan Zuozuo and whispering, "Don't mind my mom, she's going through menopause."

Yan Zuozuo forced a smile: "Why would Mom come? It's so far away."

Chi Ran frowned: "I heard it was Tong Shili who said it. Sister-in-law, what's wrong with this woman? She seems to thrive on chaos."

Yan Zuozuo didn't speak. Since Tong Shili was J's man, everything she did should have been under J's orders. But why did she approach Chi Moqing and sow discord between her and the Chi family?

In the ward, Yan Zuozuo sat on the bed. Although Chi's mother was unhappy, she still handed her the tonics she had brought. "It's not that I blame you, but such a big thing happened, and Mo Qing wasn't home. What do you mean by keeping it from me?"

Chi Ran's lips twitched: "We were just afraid you'd worry, we all meant well."

"What good intentions? Your brother isn't home. If something really happens to Zuo Zuo, how are you going to explain it? You're the same age as Shi Li. Can't you learn from her? When are you going to grow up?"

"Mom, you keep talking about Tong Shili, who is your daughter anyway?" Chi Ran pouted and sat down next to her mother, acting coquettishly.

Chi's mother snorted coldly: "I really wish I could have a child as obedient and sensible as Shili, then you wouldn't all have to come and annoy me like this."

"Who would dare to upset you? You are our beloved mother. Alright, alright, don't be angry. Sister-in-law is still injured. You need to cheer up so your wounds will heal faster," Chi Ran said with a smile.

Chi's mother glared at her, then looked at Yan Zuozuo, took her hand and said, "Zuozuo, I was just being rude, don't take it to heart." She sighed and said, "You didn't tell me about something so important, I was so anxious, I couldn't help but say something I didn't mean. You're the same, we're all family, if something happens, when will we, as parents, help if not us? Don't worry, just rest well, once you're discharged, we'll go back, it's easier to take care of people in China."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "I know Mom is worried about me; it's because we didn't do well."

"It's good that you know. I just happened to run into Shili. I saw that she was back but you weren't, so I asked casually and that's how I found out something happened. You mustn't do this again next time."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, and after listening to Chi's mother's anxious lecture for another half hour, she finally let Chi Ran take her to the hotel to rest.

When Ou Luhan returned from watching Fisher's show, she saw Yan Zuozuo lost in thought. "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

Yan Zuozuo looked at him thoughtfully, then a thought flashed through her mind. "Young Master Ou, can I ask you for a favor?"

When Ou Luhan met Liang Jingjing's bright eyes, she became more wary. "I refuse!"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback: "I haven't even said what it is yet."

"What could be wrong? It's just asking me to take you to see President Chi. Zuo Zuo, it's not that I'm refusing you or that I'm being disloyal or refusing to help. You need to understand that a country has its laws and a family has its rules. Going to see him now will only bring him more trouble, so it's better not to go."

"But I just want to see him. I know this request is unreasonable and willful, but I'm really worried about him." Even though she'd only been gone for a few days, it felt like years. She thought about him constantly.

She didn't know how much longer she would have to wait, and the thought of the unfair treatment he might face made her feel terrible.

She was such a useless woman; she couldn't even see her husband when he met with misfortune.

"Zuo Zuo, don't worry. I'll keep a close eye on President Chi's situation, and I'll let you know immediately if anything happens. Fisher is injured, so you'll probably be very busy with work during this time. Focus your energy on your work, okay?"

Yan Zuozuo felt helpless, but she had no other way to see him now.

Seeing her like this, Ou Luhan felt a pang of sympathy and was about to say something when suddenly the door to the ward was pushed open forcefully, followed by a sharp voice, "Yan Zuozuo, you're really lucky!"

Yan Zuozuo's heart sank. She knew that Qin Yun would definitely not let her off the hook for this matter, and sure enough, he came.

"Miss Qin, how is Director Fisher?"

"How can I make you happy? Yan Zuozuo, you jinx! If it weren't for your bad mood, Fisher wouldn't have rushed off to other places, and wouldn't have suffered such harm! You wicked woman, shameless slut, you're married and still flirting with other women outside, do you have no shame at all!"

Yan Zuozuo didn't take Qin Yun's curses to heart, but Qin Yun's statement that Fisher was injured because of her was like adding another knife to Yan Zuozuo's still unhealed wound.

She's the one who ruined everyone's lives...
