Volume 1: A Kiss to Win Hearts Chapter 102: Severing Ties

  A surge of anger shot up to his forehead. Xu Shaoyan's head suddenly started aching again. He furrowed his brow, plopped down on the sofa, and covered his nearly exploding head in agony, unable to help but moan softly. Nevertheless, he still couldn't forget Cheng Ziyuan's sorrow, and stammered out: "Ziyuan... does she know?"

  "Are you okay?!" Seeing Xǔ Shǎoyàn in so much pain, Bái Jié's heart was filled with anxiety. She quickly sat down beside him and asked repeatedly, "Are you okay?! How are you?! Is your head hurting a lot?! Do you want to go to the hospital..."

  "Does she know or doesn't she?!" He finally managed to lift his head, his voice low and furious, his eyes flashing with danger.

  "She... she knew?" Bai Jie hastily explained, "It was her who told me not to tell you. We were all worried that you wouldn't be able to take the shock of this matter."

  "It has nothing to do with me... It's Auntie who took it upon herself... We had already agreed to call off the engagement... Who knew Auntie would release this kind of news..."

  Xu Shaoyan didn't listen to Bai Jie's explanation at all. He struggled to get up from the sofa and then stumbled towards the door. He wanted to see Cheng Ziyue now.

  He wants to go and explain to her that it was all his mother's own doing, a trap. He wants to tell her... he loves her... in this life... the only one he wants to marry is her... This sentimental, nitpicky woman, ah... She will definitely overthink things... be heartbroken... He wants to go and comfort her.

  "Where are you going?" Bai Jie hastily stood up and chased after him, tightly grasping his arm and asked anxiously.

  "I want to see Zhiyi..." Xu Shaoyan endured the severe headache, his pale face covered in fine sweat beads, struggling to squeeze out a voice, "She must be very...very uncomfortable..."

  But before he could finish speaking, a wave of black water suddenly rushed towards him, pain flooded his head, making him unable to withstand it. With a "thud", he collapsed to the ground...

  "Xiao Yan...... Xiao Yan......" A panicked cry echoed in her ears. "What's wrong? Xiao Yan, you must be okay......"

  When I woke up, it was already dusk. Outside the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, the sunset was slanting to the west and the evening clouds were gorgeous.

  The warm sunlight of autumn gently covered his face, and he slowly opened his eyes. The golden light that entered his vision was as if his bedroom had been painted like a palace. He lay on his bed, with an IV drip hanging beside him, his head still throbbing in pain. He couldn't help but furrow his brows in agony, his handsome face looking haggard and worn out.

  "Thank goodness! You're finally awake!" Zhang Mei's relieved voice came from beside her ear. She was almost in tears of joy. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

  "Mom is going to make something for you?"

  Was it her who spread the news that he was going to marry Bai Jie on her own initiative? Was it her who carefully set up traps to harm her own son? Was it her who tried every means to destroy his love with Cheng Zhiyi? This person... was actually his mother.

  Xu Shaoyan turned his face away in disgust, not wanting to look at her again. From childhood to adulthood, he had never hated his mother as much as he did today. What was wrong with her?

  Love him? Otherwise? How can he tirelessly think of separating him and Cheng Zhiyi? How can he disregard his pain? Delighting in tormenting his own son

  "When you were discharged from the hospital, weren't you fine? How could you suddenly faint?" The endless nagging was like a barrage of gunfire that kept pounding his ears. "From today on, you'd better lie in bed and not think about going anywhere... The doctor said that the blood clot in your brain hasn't fully dissipated yet, you can't take any stimulation... Don't think about that woman anymore, or you'll end up like this... It's all because of her..."

  "Get out?!" Xu Shaoyan finally couldn't bear it anymore, forcing out angry words from his throat. "I want you to get out! I don't want to see you!"

  "Less...? I'm your mom...?" Maybe her precious son was badly hurt and now he's unconscious, so he doesn't recognize her.

  "From today on, you're no longer my mother! I want to, I want to cut ties with you!" Every word he spoke made his head throb violently. Oh God, what's going on with that damned blood clot in my brain?

  "You..." She had been worried for a whole day, and now her precious son woke up and said such an inhumane thing to her? Zhang Mei was furious! However, the doctor had just reminded her not to let him get stimulated, so she could only suppress her anger. "You... rest well..."

  Zhang Mei had no choice but to stand up and, with a mixture of worry and anger, glanced at Xu Shao Yan twice before slowly walking towards the door.

  She opened the door and unexpectedly saw Cheng Zhiyi standing outside. Zhang Mei was startled and frowned unhappily: "How did you get here?"

  "I'll take a look at Shao Yan." Cheng Zhiyi smiled and didn't mind Zhang Mei's displeasure.

  "Is it Zhī Yī? Zhī Yī? Have you come?" Hearing the voice of Chéng Zhī Yī, Xǔ Shǎo Yàn immediately jumped up with joy and asked repeatedly, "Zhī Yī? Is it you? Is it you?"

  "Hmm? Is it me?" Cheng Ziyuan's mouth corners slightly raised, seemingly smiling but not quite, as she gazed at Zhang Mei. Her eyes had a hint of triumph in them. Then, she lightly brushed past Zhang Mei and walked into Xu Shaoyan's room, gently closing the door behind her and locking it.

  This girl... is really too arrogant

  Zhang Wei's body trembled with rage as she stared at the tightly closed door, a thread of hatred shooting out from her eyes. Yes, she hated Cheng Yiyi, hated that face which had some resemblance to that fox spirit. If it weren't for this, she might not have been so resolute in opposing Xu Shao Yan and her being together.

  Actually, she had thought of supporting their love at first. After all, she had also deeply loved before and knew that the most precious thing in the world was true love that couldn't be exchanged for anything. So when Xu Shaoyan came to her and kept saying how much he loved that girl and wanted to marry her in this life, she really wanted to see the girl who made her son so crazy. That's why she let Xu Shaoyan take her to attend that dinner party.

  At the dinner party... she finally met Cheng Zhiyi

  However, when she saw Cheng Zhiyi for a moment, Zhang Mei was stunned. How could this girl look so similar to that fox spirit who had seduced Xu Ming's heart? Their eyebrows and eyes were similar, but the fox spirit's eyes had an extra bit of **and charm, while this girl's eyes had an extra bit of purity and kindness.

  At that moment... she suddenly felt that her life was so unsuccessful... so unsuccessful...

  She devoted her life to deeply loving two men, one was her husband and the other was her son. Now, they have both been infatuated by this woman, to the point of being bewildered and even quarreling with her, breaking off relations with her. How could she not be angry? How could she not feel pain? How could she not grieve?

  So she began to fiercely oppose Xu Shaoyan and Cheng Ziyi being together. Yes, she absolutely could not let her own son be snatched away by Cheng Ziyi. She hated that seductive fox spirit who had seduced her husband, and also hated Cheng Ziyi's face which resembled that of the fox spirit. She absolutely could not let Cheng Ziyi become her daughter-in-law.

  So? Zhang Wei

  Xu Shaoyan married Bai Jie, not for the benefit of the Tiancheng Group, but because she disliked Cheng Ziyi. Otherwise, how could a mother sacrifice her son's happiness for business interests? Moreover, their Tiancheng Group...

  Isn't it powerful enough? Do you still need to gain benefits through marriage?

  P.S: Smart readers, why does Xu Mingxin's lover look so much like Cheng Zhiyi? You know now.
