Chapter 443 confrontation with Yang Zi (3)
As An Xiulan turned back, she saw Han Zixin standing there, still dressed in his uniform. It didn't take her much time to guess that he had run straight from his job to see her. As happy as she was to see him right now, she was scared. She didn't want him here. She didn't want him near Yang Zi at all.
On the other hand, Yang Zi's eyes shone brightly as she glanced at Han Zixin. She had seen the pictures that she had gotten from her private detective. She had known that he was a handsome young man but seeing him in flesh was something entirely different. What a pity that he was in a police uniform!
Had he chosen the way of stardom he would be the most heartthrob celebrity of the time.
"We can talk about what you did tomorrow, "Amanda said to An Xiulan. "I assume that we have more important things to do." She gestured to the guards to let people vacate the building except for three people and reminded them to not let any news leak from there as the firm could not afford to be in another scandal. Yang Zi had created enough trouble for the law firm already. She didn't want to deal with more. Moreover, she didn't want to give a chance to her father to show his dissatisfaction towards her ways of handling the company.
"Zixin?" An Xiulan called his name.
He calmly looked at her. His brown eyes were as calm as ever. It was as if he was not affected by anything happening there which was scaring An Xiulan more. The more calm he was, the more scared she was getting. His calmness made her feel like a storm was about to come. Perhaps, a storm so big that she would not be able to handle it.
"Hmm?" Han Zixin responded as he walked towards her. He stood near her and a moment later, he raised his hand to touch her wounds. As his finger touched the scratches on her cheek, she winced in pain. He asked, "Is it painful?"
An Xiulan shook her hand. "No, it doesn't."
"Good, "He said, not saying another word. Now his eyes were on Yang Zi who was standing behind An Xiulan. The woman's hopeful eyes met his but he didn't give any kind of response.
"Should we go home?" An Xiulan asked, eager to leave the place. She badly wanted to leave this place. Her heart was shivering in her ribcage out of fear. She had nothing to worry about but she was scared that Yang Zi's words would affect him so much. After all, she was his birth mother and he could not put it behind even today that he was abandoned by this woman.
"Are you taking him away from here?" Yang Zi said. "Are you that scared of me?"
Of course, there was no way she was going to let An Xiulan take away her son. It was God's sign that he appeared here. God wanted her to unite with her son. She would not let anyone come between herself and her son.
"Shut up, "An Xiulan said through clenched teeth.
"Are you going to beat me up again if I don't shut up?" Yang Zi tried to incite An Xiulan.
"Can you please stop your drama?" An Xiulan said. Even she could see what Yang Zi was trying to do. Never had she ever thought that one day she would be part of the drama along with her boyfriend and his estranged mother. This storyline was something out of television but it was happening with her right now. She had no idea how to get out of this.
Yang Zi's tears trickled down her cheek and she said, "Han Zixin, this girl, hurt me, an old woman! It's all because I wanted to see you."
She was acting like a typical victim here and she certainly was not. However, her acting was very moving.
She was crying and giving explanations like a fragile woman, "I had no intention of harming anyone but she was threatening me to not meet you. All I wanted was to see you. Do I deserve this?"
An Xiulan yelled, "Stop with your nonsense already!"
Yang Zi stopped paying attention to An Xiulan and kept all of her focus on Han Zixin, "I know I committed a lot of mistakes in my life but can I not ask forgiveness for that?"
She held Han Zixin's sleeves and added, "All I wanted was to see you and beg for your forgiveness. I wanted nothing else. But she threatened me using your grandfather and brother. I know I'm nobody when it comes to those powerful people. But does she have to bully me to this extent?"
Yang Zi didn't fail to portray herself as a misunderstood character who was trying to redeem all the sins that she had committed in the past. She was showing Han Zixin that she acknowledged that she had committed sins in the past but she was trying to redeem them. She was asking him not to judge her based on her past character.
An Xiulan whispered, "Zixin, don't listen to her. She is using crocodile tears to get to you. Please don't listen to her."
Suddenly, An Xiulan was not confident about her words. She knew how moving Yang Zi was looking with fat tears trickling down her cheeks.
"Han Zixin, please give me a chance to acknowledge that I have done wrong to you. Please let me apologise to you, "Yang Zi cried. "I am not asking you to forgive me but at least give me a chance to properly say sorry for all the things I did to you."
With this said, Yang Zi closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
"Oh my god!" An Xiulan reacted as Yang Zi fainted.
Han Zixin acted swiftly and caught her in his arms. An Xiulan was trying to catch up with him but suddenly he turned around and said, "Do not come with me. Go back home."
"Why?" An Xiulan whispered.
"It will be better for all."
