Haikuan, who was bored, he got out of the car to find out what the two were doing there. He closed when he saw Yibo got out of the apartment.
"What took you so long?" he asked Yibo. "What did you and your wife do there?" but Yibo ignored him and instead looked around to the left and right of the road.
"Taxi!" Yibo waved at a taxi that he saw but it had a passenger. Haikuan's eyebrows met. "What do you want that taxi for?" he asked his brother.
"Take Zhan back to the Hacienda Wang, Haikuan, Ge" he ordered his brother in a cold voice. "He's inside and currently unconscious. I don't want to see him in the mansion."
Haikuan quickly entered the apartment only to come out as fast as he entered. Then he grabbed his brother on the collar.
"What have you done to your husband?" Haikuan said angrily.
"What he deserved. He wanted my name, so he got it. Both in papers and in his body," Yibo answered indifferently.
Haikuan quickly entered the apartment only to come out as fast as he entered. Then he forcibly grabbed his brother on the collar.
"What have you done to your husband?" Haikuan said angrily.
"What he deserved. He wanted my name, so he got it. Both in papers and in his body," Yibo answered carelessly.
"You unfeeling son of a bitch!" Haikuan unleashed a blow on his brother that it made Yibo crashed into the car door. He was about to punch his brother again when he saw the wooden crutch fall and Yibo groaned in pain, holding his leg more than his bleeding nose.
"You are the hothead among us, but I can't believe you are my brother for what you did! I wish Haoxuan will kill you for this, Yibo!" said Haikuan's in anger.
"Go ahead, tell everybody," Yibo answered furiously and wincing painfully because the crutch was thrown and he uses his leg. "... So, all of us be in trouble because of that Zhan."
Haikuan was too angry to speak. He just stared at his brother and somehow, he understood Yibo's feelings. If it wasn't for the caretaker he met at the Hacienda, Haikuan wouldn't know anything. He was shocked himself and argued with his father this morning. But to his surprise, Carmen sided with Quiren. The argument was interrupted when the officiant arrived followed by the Xiao's.
Haikuan let out a sharp breath and entered the apartment again. When he came out, he already carried Zhan and put him inside the car. Yibo was gone but he still saw the taxi going away.
They are in a road for a while when Zhan regained consciousness. "Uhmnn... H-Haikuan?"
"How are you feeling?" asked the baritone voice. Haikuan had concern on his face.
Shan looked down and on his white shirt, there was a stain of blood that probably came from his chest. The panic that he had been felt earlier arose again, but he immediately suppressed. He caught a glimpse of Haikuan's jaw clenching.
"I am sorry. If I had known right away, this would not have happened to you." Haikuan said earnestly. "If you wish to take any legal action against my brother, I won't stop you."
Zhan shook his head. "H-he was so angry..." Zhan answered in a whisper. Can't understand his feeling. Anger and understanding mingle in his chest. But doesn't Yibo know that he doesn't want to marry him either?
But that's not what you indicated to him, Zhan, he thought otherwise. You made him think that you wanted him and his money.
"Temporarily," Haikuan said. "The anger of Yibo, Zhan and--"
Zhan quickly shook his head. "Yibo said he doesn't want to see me at the mansion anymore, Haikuan," Zhan said in an emotionless voice.
It was as if what had happened had dampened any feelings he had. He was void of any emotion at that moment. He turned to Haikuan. "P-please... can I ask you a favor?"
"Anything, Zhan..."
"I-I want to change my clothes and please take me back to Hacienda Wang with you. Now..."
Haikuan didn't answer and sped the car towards the nearest department store. So the Gods help him but at that moment there was no solution to the problem facing his brother and Zhan.
And damn Wang Quiren!
He would have gone straight to his father today if he hadn't thought of Carmen's plea not to interfere.
They got into traffic at an intersection. A beggar knocked on the glass window. Haikuan focused on the stoplight. Zhan looked his hand and the wedding ring that was there. A decision was quickly formed. The expensive wedding ring was quickly taken off. And Haikuan looked at him with a frown.
Zhan opened the car window and looked at the outstretched hand of the beggar hoping to be given money. He placed the wedding ring in her palm. "That's yours..."
The beggar's eyes widened for a moment. It stared at the sparkling five diamonds on the bond ring in her dirty hand for a few moments before tightly clenching her hand and quickly walk away.
Haikuan said nothing in a mixture of shock and amusement. And he even thought that Zhan married Yibo because of money. And knowing Wang Quiren who bought the ring, it's like the beggar won the lottery.
Yibo went to his condo and spent a few days there. Xiao Fengmian was even more surprised when he found his son at the hacienda.
"What is--?"
"I've married him, daddy," Zhan said promptly. "Our ranch in Colorado has been redeemed, so let's go back home..."
"Zhan?"
"Please, Dad," he said. "Yibo and I have agreed on this and I hope that the day we get married, you and Wang Quiren's interference with us will end," Zhan said firmly.
Even if Fengmian wanted to asked Zhan, he could see that his son was determined not to talk about it. A few days later, they returned to Colorado.
