Chapter 441 confrontation with Yang Zi (1)
When An Xiulan reached the lobby of the office, she saw Yang Zi standing there as if waiting for her. Probably, she was informed that An Xiulan would not be meeting her and if she wished to meet the latter, she had to book an appointment first. Yang Zi was in a rush and to see An Xiulan, she chose the only way she had. She stood at the gate to stop the girl as she knew that it was the only way to leave the building. If she was not desperate, she would not have chosen this way ever, As they say, desperate time calls for desperate measures.
"Wait a minute, "Yang Zi said as An Xiulan was walking ahead.
An Xiulan stopped in her tracks and looked up to find Yang Zi standing in front of her. She put her phone in her bag and gave the lady the attention that she was seeking so badly. She was reeking of an unapproachable aura that was rare. For someone like An Xiulan who loved people, she was always approachable, even when she was pissed off. But today seemed very different.
"May I know why Mrs Mu had to meet me so urgently that she had to catch me leaving my workplace?" An Xiulan asked with a smile. Even if she tried to be nice to this woman, the niceness never came out of her heart. It was just that her manners didn't allow her to talk back to the elders. Sometimes some elders didn't deserve respect but still, she didn't let her parent's upbringing down by being mean to this old woman.
To be honest, she hated Yang Zi to the core. She did not want to be nice to this woman but she hated her upbringing for having to fake her nicety with this woman.
"Since you will not meet me, I had to find my ways, "Mrs Mu said. She took a deep breath and went on, "Look, I know we are not friendly with each other but we do not need to be enemies either."
Mrs Mu's high and mighty attitude had long left her body, still, she was putting on a good show to point out that she was not desperate. And in her opinion, it was quite working out for her.
"Oh?" An Xiulan could not understand what Mrs Mu was hinting at. Didn't she always dislike for whatever reasons she wasn't aware of? Then, why was this lady here?
"I want to meet Han Zixin, "Yang Zi threw the bomb.
An Xiulan slowly looked at the woman standing in front of her as if she had heard something wrong. Did she hear her correctly? She wished to meet Han Zixin? Why? What did Yang Zi need from him? Or should she ask what trauma did this woman want to give to her man?
An Xiulan felt a rush of protective emotions that she had always felt for Han Zixin with more intensity this time. It was like Yang Zi was a monster and she wanted to protect Han Zixin from the monster. Each time Yang Zi had entered his life, she had only brought him hurt, nothing else.
Over her dead body!
This was not happening at all!
"Do you know that you can't meet him?" An Xiulan reminded her. She was behaving calmly, despite the volcanic eruptions in her heart. She had to act calm or composed or Yang Zi would not shy away from taking advantage of any volatile emotions of hers. She reminded herself that Yang Zi would not meet Han Zixin, even if she wanted to. Yang Zi had signed a contract with the Han family. There was no way she could afford to break that. As per the contract that Yang Zi signed with Han Zixin's father, she gave him all the rights and it meant she had no right over him. Not only this, she could not even tell or claim that she was his mother. She had no reason to meet him. This made An Xiulan relax a little.
"Says who?" Yang Zi asked with a raised brow.
"The contract that I signed those years ago only meant that I could not meet him unless his guardian allowed me to," Yang Zi said. This time with a chuckle. "But he is no longer a minor who needs a guardian. I do not have to take permission from Han family members. He is free to meet me. He is no longer a kid controlled by the Han family."
As if cold water was poured on An Xiulan's plans, she stared at her.
An Xiulan knew what she was saying was true. Yang Zi did not need permission from Han Ziqiu or Han Qian to meet Han Zixin. She could meet him as Han Zixin was twenty-five years old, an adult who could take his decisions. It was up to him to decide if he wished to see his birth mother or not. If he agreed to see her, who could stop Yang Zi? How could she, as a lawyer, forget such important details? Or she had always known it but was merely fooling herself.
"Seven years ago, the Han family threatened me to leave my son's life, "Yang Zi told her. "I want to tell him the injustice that family has done to me. He should know that the family he cared for too much is not as truthful as he believed. Did he know that I was forced to leave him? I was forced and threatened to abandon seven years ago. I want to tell him that his mom returned for him. His mom loves him."
After Mu Wanwan left the house for the man who she had married against her wishes, she realised that a stepchild would always remain a stepchild. No matter how many feelings or efforts she would pour, someone's child would never give her filial love. If Mu Wanwan could leave her mother for another man, she could always leave that wicked stepdaughter for her biological son. She would pour all of her love into her real child. She would love Han Zixin so much that he would also learn that nobody was better than his biological mother, not even his half-brother.
