Chapter 762: Chapter 700: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age (Part 2)

When Zhan Yunxiao returned home, Xia Luo was still asleep.

He squatted down by the bedside, looked at her sleeping face, and couldn’t help but lean in to gently kiss her cheek.

No one knows how much he anticipated the arrival of this child.

However, for Xia Luo’s health, he had no choice but to painfully give up.

"Xiao? You’re not asleep yet?"

Xia Luo opened her eyes, saw Zhan Yunxiao fully dressed as if he had just returned from outside, and asked in surprise.

Zhan Yunxiao reached out to touch her face and apologized apologetically, "Sorry, did I wake you?"

Xia Luo shook her head, touched her own belly, and said pitifully, "It’s not you who woke me up, I woke up hungry, very hungry."

Zhan Yunxiao felt a pang of sadness inside and reached out to hug her, "Luoluo, have you noticed that you’ve been eating a bit too much lately?"

Xia Luo was embarrassed.

She’s not stupid; she obviously noticed.

But she didn’t expect even Zhan Yunxiao would notice her overeating.

"Xiao, I ate a bit too much, but... should not have gained much weight!"

Xia Luo thought Zhan Yunxiao noticed her weight gain and quickly touched her face, anxiously asking.

Zhan Yunxiao held her hand, "You haven’t gained weight. Whether you’re thin or not, you’re the most beautiful in my eyes. I’m just worried about your health; eating like this will burden your body greatly."

Xia Luo fell silent and lowered her eyes.

How could she not know?

This way of eating is definitely wrong.

But the physiological urge isn’t something she can control.

She wants to resist, but she’s really hungry.

When she’s extremely hungry, it feels like there’s a hand in her throat, reaching out for food.

"Luoluo, since you’re awake, let’s talk." Zhan Yunxiao said.

"Talk about what?"

Xia Luo felt uneasy, and a trace of panic crossed her face.

Zhan Yunxiao looked at her and asked softly, "Do you know something too?"

Xia Luo pursed her lips.

"The internet is very developed nowadays; if you want to know something, you can search it on Baidu."

"Since you know, you should also know what I’m going to say."

"I don’t know, and I don’t want to hear it."

Xia Luo does know, but to avoid it, she simply covered her head with the quilt.

Zhan Yunxiao: "..."

"Luoluo, I know you can’t bear it. But for your health, we can’t have this child. Also, You Mei has been caught and sent to the public security bureau; we can rest assured now. We’re still young, there’s plenty of time..."

"I won’t give up on him, no matter what you say, I won’t give up on him."

Xia Luo threw off the quilt and solemnly swore to Zhan Yunxiao.

She was so determined, leaving no room for negotiation, making Zhan Yunxiao unsure if he should continue.

"I’m tired, I’ll sleep first!"

Xia Luo resisted the hunger and closed her eyes.

Compared to hunger, she was even more unwilling to discuss this topic with Zhan Yunxiao.

Zhan Yunxiao could only give up, and after taking a shower, he came over to sleep.

However, when he finished showering, he realized Xia Luo was gone?

"Luoluo?"

Zhan Yunxiao hurried downstairs to find her.

At that moment, his phone rang, it was a call from Xia Luo.

"Luoluo, where are you?"

Zhan Yunxiao immediately connected the call, asking anxiously.

"I’ve asked my uncle and aunt to pick me up. I want to stay at my uncle’s house for a few days. Sorry, Xiao, let’s both cool off for a while."

Zhan Yunxiao: "..."

"Xiao, don’t worry, we will take care of Xia Luo."

Feng Jiuzun’s voice came.

Then the call was cut off.

Zhan Yunxiao didn’t expect Xia Luo would run away to avoid the situation?

The next day, the police came to find him to talk about You Mei.

To handle You Mei’s matter, Zhan Yunxiao could only let Xia Luo stay at the Feng Family for now and planned to bring her back after sorting out the issue.

You Mei was caught, but her lawyer claimed she had a mental illness and was not normal. She was incapable of action, so all her previous actions were invalid and did not break the law.

After the first trial judgment, Zhan Yunxiao walked up to You Ran, "Do you want to exonerate her with mental illness?"

"I will succeed."

You Ran was full of confidence.

Zhan Yunxiao coldly snorted.

Seeing You Mei causing Xia Luo such misery, making him even give up their child, would he easily let her go?

"I won’t let you succeed."

Zhan Yunxiao uttered harsh words.

This is Jiangcheng; no matter how calculating You Ran is, he cannot stir up significant trouble in Jiangcheng.

Soon, the lawyer he hired resigned, prompting him to seek a better one.

You Ran was helpless and had to plead with Zhan Yunxiao.

"I can release her, but what can the You Family offer me?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.

You Ran frowned tightly and sold all the assets accumulated in Jiangcheng to Zhan Yunxiao at a low price.

Zhan Yunxiao curled his lips.

What he wanted was not just these; he also wanted You Ran to admit the evil deeds You Mei had committed.

Only then did he allow him to find a lawyer to defend You Mei, eventually sending her to a mental hospital as a mentally ill patient.

You Ran had planned to find ways to get You Mei out after she was sent to the mental hospital for a while.

But he didn’t expect Zhan Yunxiao to shut off all his options.

Although he was You Mei’s third brother, he even lost the right to visit her.

In the mental hospital.

You Mei heard someone coming to visit and thought it was her third brother, so she ran over immediately.

But upon arrival, she saw Zhan Yunxiao instead.

Her face turned pale instantly.

"Didn’t expect to see me, right? You thought You Ran labeled you as mentally ill, and you would escape punishment? Actually, the punishment is just beginning."

Zhan Yunxiao said coldly.

You Mei clenched her fists, "Zhan Yunxiao, I’ve become like this, why won’t you let me go?"

"Because the harm you’ve caused Xia Luo persists, I can’t let you go and escape punishment."

"Zhan Yunxiao, I’ll kill you when I get out."

You Mei screamed hysterically.

"I’ll wait, but you need to have the opportunity to get out."

Zhan Yunxiao snorted and left.

You Mei was heavily medicated for treating mental illness and underwent some device therapy.

A week later, she finally stopped going insane, quietly staying in the ward, but she would tremble with fear at the slightest noise.

Zhan Yunxiao retrieved the surveillance footage and went to the Feng Family to show Xia Luo.

His mother had said that aside from hormonal imbalance, Xia Luo’s illness might involve psychological obstacles.

He hoped that Xia Luo could see You Mei’s current state and let go of the mental burden caused by You Mei’s torture.
