Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star-Chapter 267: Yu Zhan’s Background
The treatment process for the Parvovirus was very frustrating, and Pear was in his most dangerous state. He had to be watched, and Yu Zhan had to stay in the clinic overnight again.
He told the Tao siblings to go back. It was no use even if they stayed here all night.
After the nurse was done with her disinfection work, she went home. Ye Ziliang was temporarily staying here since his filming was incomplete. He was going to record the entire process of Yu Zhan curing Pear with his phone.
On their way home, Tao Zhiyao asked Tao Zhiwei exactly who Yu Zhan was.
She guessed that she must’ve met Yu Zhan when she was a kid; however, as a kid, she loved staying at home and did not fit in with the other kids. She hated participating in social activities and did not make any male friends. She didn’t know her brother’s friend circle either. Besides, who would remember this kid they met one to two times in their childhood?
Tao Zhiwei reminded her, “Do you still remember the funeral for the Yu family?”
After hearing these words, Tao Zhiyao could finally remember! Now she knew where she had met Yu Zhan.
There was a family in the old neighborhood that her family used to live in — the Yu family.
At that time, she was too young and didn’t know anything but that the Yu family was richer than hers.
Suddenly, one day, her parents brought her and her brother to the Yu’s funeral. It left a deep impression on her because that was the first time when someone she knew died because of an unnatural reason. It was Uncle Yu, at a similar age to her father, and his wife who died. They had an accident on a plane and both died in midair above the Atlantic Ocean. Their bodies were never found.
The atmosphere at the funeral was grave and sad. All there could be seen was black and white. There were some strangers who knew how to speak foreign languages, and they were all from the Yu family who rushed over from different places in the world.
When it was time for the memorial speech, her mother cried. Her mother was good friends with Mrs. Yu.
The solemn environment, the black and white portrait of the deceased, the tears from her mother, and the expressionless strangers all made her feel afraid and helpless.
She sneaked out from the crowd while her parents and her brother were not paying attention, and she walked outside. She realized that a boy, just like her, was walking out too.
The boy was wearing a small-sized black suit and black dress shoes. The blackness made it look like his face was pale. He was the only child in the Yu family, and at the start of the funeral, he was the one holding his parents’ portrait.
She caught up to him and said in a low voice, “My condolences.”
He stopped walking and turned to look at her. They were about the same height, and she could see that his eyes were amber.
He told her, “Thanks.”
That year, Tao Zhiyao was eight years old, and Yu Zhan was ten years old.
Tao Zhiyao could remember that, after the funeral, everything in the Yu mansion got moved out, and she had never seen Yu Zhan since.
“What about after the funeral?” Tao Zhiyao asked her brother. She guessed that her brother was still in contact with Yu Zhan.
Tao Zhiwei said, “Later on, Ah Zhan moved to his grandparents’ house, and they took care of him. He still lived in the capital, but he wasn’t as close to us as before. After four years, he went to school in the US. Later on, I never got to see him again. Until today, I finally know that he has been back already and even opened up a small pet clinic.”
Tao Zhiwei had a mixture of emotions inside. Since Yu Zhan’s parents passed away, they all seemed to have grown up overnight. Everyone talked to Yu Zhan so carefully and tried their best to make Yu Zhan feel happier; they were scared that he was going to do something harmful to himself. Even the naughtiest of them all, He Lushen, stopped bullying Yu Zhan. He was nice to Yu Zhan from then on, like a little brother, and did whatever Yu Zhan wanted him to do even until today.
Yu Zhan inherited everything his parents had, and he was most likely the youngest billionaire at that time; however, he was still so low-profile and modest, always silent. He didn’t want to trouble anyone. Maybe every person from the Yu family had this personality.
Before he went to the US, he treated Tao Zhiwei to dinner. This was also the last time that Tao Zhiwei saw him in the last ten years.
Tao Zhiwei knew nothing about Yu Zhan’s life after that. He didn’t expect Yu Zhan to be willing to become a mediocre vet. Before, Yu Zhan’s family kept a dog as a pet. Tao Zhiwei wasn’t interested in pets and couldn’t remember what breed it was, but he did remember that Yu Zhan really loved the dog. When Yu Zhan moved away, he brought the dog with him.
Tao Zhiwei felt that Yu Zhan was willing to be mediocre only because of what happened to his family. Regardless, as long as he felt happy and free, no matter what job he had — or even if he didn’t work at all — it was all fine.
Tao Zhiyao started reflecting after listening to her brother’s words. If her parents died when she was ten years old, she must’ve completely broken down. She admired Yu Zhan from her heart. After experiencing such a detrimental incident, his personality did not twist, and he did not give up on life. He was still such a positive and kind person. Being so rich when he was so young, he was not extravagant and did not take the wrong path. He still put all his heart into chasing after his dreams; such a man was too rare and precious.
No wonder he and Liu Man attracted each other. Tao Zhiyao felt as if they were the same type of people. No matter what kind of hardship they experienced and no matter how hard they fell onto the ground, they could still smile and stand back up.
In their minds, the world must be so wonderful.
Tao Zhiyao was just thinking of Liu Man, and her phone started ringing. She took her phone out, and it was a call from Liu Man!
The two girls chatted with each other over the call for half an hour.
The space inside the car wasn’t at all big. Tao Zhiwei heard the entire call as he was beside his sister. Because the conversation involved Yu Zhan, he asked out of curiosity, “Whom did you call just now?”
“Yu Zhan’s girlfriend,” Tao Zhiyao said naturally.
Tao Zhiwei was very shocked.
“Yu Zhan has a girlfriend?! Don’t you like him?”
Tao Zhiyao: “…”
“Which eye of yours saw that I like him? Don’t say this kind of nonsense outside,” Tao Zhiyao looked very serious, “Yu Zhan’s girlfriend is a good friend of mine, and her name is Liu Man. Last time, you saw her back at home. She was that girl wearing the peach-colored hanfu.”
Tao Zhiwei was deeply impressed by this girl, “She also returned from the US?” Liu Man looked unfamiliar but had a great temperament. Tao Zhiwei thought she only became Yu Zhan’s girlfriend because she was from a rich family and had returned from college in the US.
“No…” Tao Zhiyao briefly introduced Liu Man to her brother, “Although her background is very mediocre, none of her accomplishments are mediocre. Just now, she told me in the call that she’s soon going to be at a calligraphy exhibit in Gudu. Oh, she even became Zhong Jiangnan’s model.”
Liu Man called her for two reasons. First, Liu Man wanted to set a time to return the “Coral” hanfu to her. Secondly, Liu Man wanted to thank her because she only got chosen by Zhong Jiangnan. After all, she was wearing the “Fenghua” hanfus.
“Who’s Zhong Jiangnan?” Tao Zhiwei felt confused.
“A very famous costume designer. Forget it, even if I say more, you won’t understand it either,” Tao Zhiyao was too lazy to explain. Her brother didn’t even care about her clothes, not to mention hanfu’s.
Tao Zhiwei wasn’t angry, “Tell me more about Liu Man.”
“What do you want to do?” Tao Zhiyao was very alert. Her brother was so interested in Liu Man; was he going to steal her from Yu Zhan?!
Tao Zhiwei couldn’t help but start laughing, “I just want to see if this girl is worthy of being Ah Zhan’s girlfriend.”
