Chapter 141: Abjection (1)Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Xu Zihan went back home super awkwardly. Bad news has wings. Almost at the same time, all big families of the capital knew about Xu Zihan and Zheng Xuan’s thing.

Just one short morning, some big financial groups who meant to cooperate with Xu Family came to terminate the agreement.

When the tree falls, the monkeys all scatter, and when a person falls from power, his hangers-on disperse. In the past Xu Family was holding their heads high with Zheng Family’s support. But now since Zheng Xuan and Xu Xihan broke up, so many people out there were trying to twist the knife.

Xu Qi foamed with rage, but there was nothing he could do.

After knowing that Xu Zihan nearly got strangled to death, Xiao Mei first was mad at Zheng Xuan. But after hearing that Zheng Xuan said Xu Zihan had fooled him for three whole years, the anger in her heart turned into panic.

Xu Zihan walked into the room with a sullen face. Xiao Mei looked at him worriedly, asking gingerly, “Are you ok, Zihan?”

Xu Zihan grabbed Xiao Mei’s clothes and asked her with hopeless eyes, “Mother, you told me that Xu Ziyu is dead. Is he really dead?”

Xiao Mei nodded and said with a firm tone, “Of course he is already dead.”

“Mother, think again, is he really dead? With even a trace?” Xu Zihan asked, with his eyes wide open and face twisted.

Xiao Mei then said with a trembling voice, “The assassin I sent to kill him told me he jumped off a cliff. It was pretty high. Of course he had no chance to survive. Even if he survived, he would have gotten disfigured. Plus he got poisoned, he would definitely be a super ugly man now even if he is still alive.”

Xu Zhan shook his head. “No, no, he must be alive. And he is among the top 100 contestants.”

“No way!” exclaimed Xiao Mei. Those 100 constants were all top talents of all departments who were at least level three star magicians. How is it possible that loser Xu Ziyu be among them?”

“Why not? Zheng Xuan has been acting normal before he entered the finals. But after he came out, he has completely changed. He must have met someone in there who said something to him. And that person should be quite possibly Xu Ziyu.” Said Xu Zihan with a darkened face.

One morning, xu zihan experienced the feeling of going from heaven to hell. Those who had been fawning on him and sucking up to him all looked at him with disgust, as if he were some kind of garbage.

Xu Zihan bit his lips. Is that Seven so important to him? What is the good of Xu Ziyu? How could Zheng Xuan try to strangle him for him?

On thinking of the scene that Zheng Xuan pinching his neck with so many people watching aside, he had a spur to kill himself. So embarrassing!

Xu Zihan could not help looking at Xiao Mei with resentment. If Xiao Mei could have done it more neatly, he wouldn’t have been so damned today, or maybe he could have taken that secret into his grave.

Xiao Mei looked at Xu Zihan, asking, “Son, is Zheng Xuan only suspecting you are not Seven or he is already sure of it?”

Thinking of Zheng Xuan’s cold and brutal eyes, Xu Zihan couldn’t help shuddering. He had ever thought Zheng Xuan was an irresolute man. But now he dare not think it that way. Zheng Xuan had been so gentle to him only because he took him as Seven. But since it turned out he was not, this person had revealed his true color before him.

Xu Zihan pursed his lips. Now he began to miss that gentle Zheng Xuan. He really had no idea why he would have been greedy and even disliked a man who was all gentle and obedient to him.

At this time, Xu Qing pushed the door open and came in.

Xu Zihan called with a liftless tone, “Father.”

Xu Qing slapped hard on Xu Zihan’s face, and Xu Zihan looked at Xu Qing with kind of unbelieving expression.

Xiao Mei looked at Xu Zihan and screamed, “Xu Qing, what are you doing? He is your son!”

Xu Qing snorted crossly, “Look what he has done. He broke up with Zheng Xuan. I told him to be good to Zheng Xuan and tried to win his heart. But what has he done? Relying on Zheng Xuan’s affection, he ran amuck and even didn’t put Zheng Xuan in his eyes.”

“If he is the one Zheng Xuan really loves, that’d be nothing. But Zheng Xuan loves Seven from the Realm that year. By doing so, he is bringing our whole family to hell!” yelled Xu Qing.

“How could you say that? Zihan also didn’t know he’d get exposed. And that is also what he wanted. Someone must have told Zheng Xuan something.” Said Xiao Mei.

Xu Qing looked at Xiao Mei angrily, “If Zihan could have been a little nicer to Zheng Xuan, maybe Zheng Xuan would still be for the old time’s sake. But for what he has done, Zheng Xuan only has hatred toward him now.”

Xu Zihan’s face reddened. On thinking of Zheng Xuan’s eyes full of resentment, Xu Zihan suddenly felt that the idea that Zheng Xuan would never dump him even if he got exposed someday he had been holding seemed to be so ridiculous now.

Xiao Mei pursed her lips, “Let’s try to figure it out. Maybe Zheng Xuan is only suspicious of him now. Maybe we can still patch it up.”

Xu Qing shook his head. “I’m afraid it’s impossible.”

They had already been lucky enough to hide it from him for so many years. Now it was too difficult since Zheng Xuan himself already suspected it.

Xu Zihan grinded his teeth, hang down his head and said nothing.
