Chapter 754: Chapter 696: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 2)

No matter how you think about it, he and You Mei are a mismatch.

After all, he’s so dumb.

Trying to play mind games with You Mei, he’d probably end up being sold by her and still foolishly help her count the money.

"I could never like such a frightening woman," Zhan Yunxiao said.

After speaking, he thought of Xia Luo and smiled slightly, "I only like Luoluo."

"Zhan, let’s cut the PDA and see what’s inside the package first."

Yan Yu awkwardly reminded.

Being brokenhearted is painful enough, yet he’s constantly being forced to watch this lovey-dovey display, who did he provoke?

"You open it, I find it dirty."

Zhan Yunxiao threw the item onto the coffee table, letting Yan Yu open it himself.

Yan Yu was speechless; didn’t he find it dirty?

But since Zhan Yunxiao is the boss, he had no choice but to listen, holding his breath as he opened the package.

There wasn’t much inside, just You Mei’s documents and a photo of her with Fang Qingyang.

Looking at their bright smiles in the photo, Yan Yu’s heart took another heavy blow.

"You shouldn’t have made me open it, letting me remember the past."

Yan Yu pouted, almost crying.

Zhan Yunxiao glanced at the photos; they were just ordinary ones without anything special.

"These few photos were all taken under the sakura trees, she really seems to like sakura."

Zhan Yunxiao muttered to himself.

"What did you say?"

Yan Yu was startled, a thought flashing through his mind.

Zhan Yunxiao said, "I said they really seem to like sakura, quite a few photos were taken under the sakura trees, what about it?"

"Sakura? I think I remember something," Yan Yu said.

"What is it?"

Zhan Yunxiao quickly asked.

Yan Yu thought for a moment, suddenly realizing, "When I was leaving the hospital, she told me that if she had met me earlier, things might be different. She likes sakura, she seemed to say. I don’t remember the specifics, but she told me she likes sakura. At that time, I even thought about whether I should give her a sakura tree; maybe she would like me then."

"Sakura? Are you saying she might be hiding in a place with sakura trees?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.

Yan Yu: "I don’t know, but she told me she likes sakura. Now there are sakura in the photos, maybe she’s hiding in a place with sakura trees."

"Where are there sakura trees in Jiangcheng?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.

Yan Yu: "There are many such places, but there probably aren’t many large enough spaces to hide someone, I’ll send someone to check right away."

Zhan Yunxiao nodded.

All of You Mei’s documents were in this package.

Meaning, she doesn’t have an ID, so she can’t stay in a hotel.

So, she can’t hide for long.

Even if she hides, she’d have to find someone she knows to help her.

"Have people from the You Family arrived?" Zhan Yunxiao asked again.

Yan Yu nodded, "They have, but Mr. You is very angry, saying You Mei is no longer their daughter. So, for any issue, don’t look for him, he doesn’t want to see that daughter again."

"Why?"

Zhan Yunxiao was puzzled.

Yan Yu said, "I heard that to force her parents to reveal the truth about Fang Qingyang, You Mei even tied up her mother to interrogate her. It nearly resulted in a fatality; her father was extremely disappointed, gave her a sum of money, and said from now on, she and the You Family have no relationship, essentially cutting all ties."

"She is indeed ruthless, even willing to act against her own parents. No wonder she has so much money to deal with matters; it turns out she extorted it from her parents. However, we still need to check if the You Family has any assets in Jiangcheng. Between parents and children, even if there’s conflict, it’s not always completely ruthless. I’ll go meet Mr. You, maybe I’ll find some clues."

Zhan Yunxiao didn’t believe the You Family would truly ignore You Mei.

So, he still wanted to personally meet Mr. You.

Yan Yu immediately arranged it for him. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Mr. You was staying in a hotel.

Zhan Yunxiao met him, and they exchanged greetings.

Mr. You was over sixty, but still full of energy.

It’s said the daughter takes after her father, and You Mei really resembled her father, proving Mr. You was a handsome man when he was young.

Even now in his old age, he was a charming older gentleman.

"Are you Mr. Zhan? I’ve met your father, you look like him, surely the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,"

Mr. You praised Zhan Yunxiao.

"Mr. You overpraises, I’ve heard about your reputation for a long time, but never had the chance to meet. Today, I’m here to see you, and I believe you know the reason. I know You Mei is your daughter, and I am soon to become a father, so I can empathize with the love parents have for their children. However, I must say, You Mei now exhibits antisocial behavior and is extremely dangerous; she needs to be found as soon as possible."

"Being so young and about to become a father, it’s truly enviable. I too once envisioned seeing Mei get married and have children; I would have given her a grand wedding, and the You Family would be her strongest support. Unfortunately, this daughter turned out wrong, and that’s my responsibility. I am well aware of her danger; we nearly lost our lives to her. But I really don’t know where she is now."

"Does she like sakura?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.

Mr. You nodded, "Yes, she loves sakura, she once planted a sakura tree herself; it seemed to be her emotional support. But later, that tree unfortunately died. From that moment on, she became somewhat mentally unstable. We bought many sakura trees to plant in the yard, but she said none of them were the original one, no matter how many, it didn’t mean anything."

Zhan Yunxiao frowned.

It seemed that You Mei’s abnormal behavior had early signs.

"Didn’t you take her to see a psychologist back then?"

"At the time, we didn’t think much of it, believing it was just a phase for a fragile young girl. I raised three sons, all of them grew up boisterously, and she was my only daughter; I didn’t expect girls to be so different. By the time we realized, it was too late. But her mother and I made another bad decision by seeking Fang Qingyang’s help, which only made her sink deeper, unable to extricate herself."

"My condolences, Mr. You," Zhan Yunxiao comforted him.

Mr. You shook his head.

Being older, speaking of the past seemed to change his complexion significantly.

Zhan Yunxiao could only rise to say goodbye.

Just then, Xia Luo called him, asking him to return home.
