Chapter 384: She Was Really Trapped
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Huo Yunshen had no choice but to resign to his mother’s unreasonableness. This was the result of being a cripple. It was going to be really difficult to see Jing Xi again in the future.
Unable to contact Huo Yunshen, Xu Xiyan could only call Professor Qin Kun and see whether he had any news about Huo Yunshen.
However, it turned out that Professor Qin did not know anything about Huo Yunshen’s injuries. He promised her that he would visit the Huo family and find out about his situation.
Ye Xun was done putting all sorts of gifts into the trunk. He shut the trunk and said, “Get in, time to go.”
Xu Xiyan did not speak as she got into the car. Ye Xun drove back to the Jing family house.
In the Jing family house’s courtyard, Jing Huaduo, Ying Bao and Fang Xiaocheng were having tea and snacks under the grape pergola.
Xu Xiyan and Ye Xun arrived, carrying gifts in their hands. The eagle-eyed Ying Bao spotted her mother and immediately rushed towards her excitedly. “Xi Baby!”
“Ying Bao!” Xu Xiyan squatted down and spread out her arms to receive her daughter. Her daughter rushed over to her and wrapped her little arms around her neck, planting big kisses on her face, “Mua, Mua!”
“Xi Baby, you’re finally back! Baby missed you to death! Look at Baby, Baby is so thin now,” Ying Bao said, pointing a finger to her cheek, trying to be cute.
Xu Xiyan also planted big kisses onto her daughter’s face. She smiled and said, “Yeah, you’re so thin now!”
Seeing that both mother and daughter were having a tender moment, Ye Xun walked up to them, stuck out his face and said, “Daughter, don’t just kiss your mother! What about me?”
Ying Bao looked over at Ye Xun’s face. Instead of giving him a kiss, she reached out to pinch his face with her small hand and giggled. Ye Xun let out a yelp in pain, “Oww! Daughter, why did you pinch your dad?”
Ying Bao cocked her head to the side and pouted, “Uncle Tree-leaf, if you continue to take advantage of girls, you will have no friends!”
You’re reading on .com Thanks!
“Eh, is this how you treat your dad? Boohoohoo, Daddy is sad!” Ye Xun pretended to wipe tears off his eyes.
“Uncle Tree-leaf, you’re being very childish. When can you act more like an adult?” Ying Bao asked, putting her hands on her hips.
She said that he was being very childish?
How rude! Who did she learn that from!
Ye Xun put down the stuff he was carrying and immediately picked up Ying Bao, tickling her. “Why, you traitorous, rascally little rabbit! If it weren’t for me, you would’ve been born in the middle of the road! So you actually dare call me childish, huh? Still dare? Do you still dare now? Huh?”
“Hahaha...” Ying Bao laughed out loud. She continued laughing as she begged for mercy, “Uncle Tree-leaf, I don’t dare anymore! I don’t dare...”
Ye Xun put her down. Who knew that the little girl was like a rabbit on the grass. She bounded away from him.
She ran to Jing Huaduo and hid behind him. She peeked her head out and stuck her tongue out at Ye Xun. “Uncle Tree-leaf, do you know why you can’t get my mother’s heart? Because you can’t even get mine!”
Ye Xun: “...”
The other adults were laughing heartily at Ye Xun and Ying Bao’s amusing interactions.
After greeting each other, everyone sat down. Xu Xiyan had already introduced Ye Xun to Fang Xiaocheng so they already knew each other at this moment.
Fang Xiaocheng knew that he was Xu Xiyan’s second senior and he had taken good care of Xu Xiyan and her daughter while they were in Estan.
During their conversation, Fang Xiaocheng sensed that something was wrong with Xu Xiyan.
While Ye Xun was chatting with Jing Huaduo, Fang Xiaocheng pulled Xu Xiyan into the house and asked her quietly, “Yanyan, are you alright? Why do I feel that something is distracting you?”
Xu Xiyan had a lot on her mind and her BFF Fang Xiaocheng was the only person she could vent to. So she told Fang Xiaocheng everything about what had happened in Estan.
She told her that she had encountered a terrorist attack at Estan and that Huo Yunshen had gotten injured because of her. After that, Huo Yunshen had left without saying goodbye and she’d been unable to contact him.
After listening to Xu Xiyan’s story, Fang Xiaocheng was astonished. “Oh my, you could make a movie out of your adventures. It’s so thrilling!”
Xu Xiyan sighed, “Orange, there’s a saying that goes ‘fortune always appreciates a hard working man.’ I always thought that, as long I was working hard enough, God would reward me one day. But now, I realize that it doesn’t mean through hard work I can always get whatever I want.”
Xu Xiyan continued, “I was abused by Xu Jinshan for 12 years, betrayed by Xu Xinrou and Chu Yuhe, plagued by scandals in the entertainment circle, almost became a murderer, saw my mother’s legacy unfulfilled, my daughter an illegal resident. Everyone is saying that I’m a bringer of bad luck... Orange, just look back at my 20 years of life, and I suddenly feel like a failure. A total failure!”
When Xu Xiyan said this, she suddenly broke down and her tears fell uncontrollably.
“Yanyan...” Fang Xiaocheng was a little panicked as she saw her crying and quickly handed her a napkin. She comforted her, “Please don’t think of it that way, you haven’t failed. You should look on the bright side. Your career is starting to take off and you have a daughter who is so sweet and intimate that everyone envies so much. Plus, you still have friends like me and Dazhi and we will always support you. You still have both of your grandfathers and they love you so much. Oh, and also, you’re so lucky to have met Mr. Huo.”
Nothing would have happened if she hadn’t mentioned Mr. Huo, but she did and Xu Xiyan was crying even harder.
Fang Xiaocheng was at loss on what to do for a moment. “Yanyan, don’t frighten me.”
Xu Xiyan’s large eyes were misty and glittered like crystals. Tears streamed in two bright trails down her cheeks, dripping off from her delicate and defined chin.
Seeing how tearful and depressed Xu Xiyan was, Fang Xiaocheng felt a little flustered.
In her memories, she had never seen Xu Xiyan in such great pain.
Back then, whenever Xu Xiyan was beaten by Xu Jinshan, she would still show that she was strong and would never shed a single tear.
Even when Chu Yuhe had dumped her, she wasn’t this sad either.
What was it that had destroyed her resoluteness?
“Yanyan, tell me, what happened?” Fang Xiaocheng asked as she held Xu Xiyan’s hand.
Xu Xiyan’s lips were trembling as she mustered the effort to speak up, “Orange... I’m heartbroken.”
She was too broken-hearted and needed a place to vent her emotions. Only with Fang Xiaocheng could she speak of her troubles without any scruples.
When Fang Xiaocheng heard her say that she was heartbroken, she figured what had probably happened. Xu Xiyan must’ve confessed to Huo Yunshen, but he had rejected her. Was this what had happened?
“Yanyan, please don’t cry and listen to me. Didn’t I tell you before? Mr. Huo is physically disabled. Even if you confess, he may not accept you. He definitely does not want to burden you with his condition. You should give him more time and be patient.”
After listening to her words of comfort, Xu Xiyan hung her head down sadly and said, “Orange, what should I do now?”
Fang Xiaocheng looked at how depressed Xu Xiyan was and shook her head. “Oh dear, Yanyan, you’re really trapped in it!”
“Yeah.”
She admitted that she had fallen in love with Huo Yunshen, and had reached the point where it was difficult to pull herself out.
“What I was trying to say is that Mr. Huo should actually like you too, but in his current situation, he will not accept you easily because he does not want to trouble you,” Fang Xiaocheng explained.
Xu Xiyan wiped her tears and made her attitude towards the situation clear. “I know, but I’ve never felt that he was troubling me. I don’t mind.”
He was the one she loved. As for his physical condition, it hadn’t bothered her one bit.
For Huo Yunshen, she could not help but want to care for him, treat him well, and give her all to him.
Fang Xiaocheng sighed, “Even if you don’t mind, his mother’s attitude towards you is clear...she will not accept you. Even if you want to be with Mr. Huo, your future will be filled with many difficulties and obstacles.”
“Sigh...”
It’s not that Xu Xiyan didn’t understand. When she had chosen Huo Yunshen, she could already feel resistance coming from everywhere.
Her grandfather and uncle would not agree to it. Even Ye Xun had also strongly opposed it. And now, fresh on the list, was Huo Yunshen’s mother.
Thinking back about what Mrs. Huo had said, Xu Xiyan felt as if a needle had stabbed into her heart and it was brimming dense with pain.
Until now, she still had yet to reach Huo Yunshen. She didn’t know what to do.
Fang Xiaocheng always felt that Xu Xiyan was the kind of person who would never look back once she accepted someone. Back when she had fallen in love with Chu Yuhe, she had given her all, too. It was a pity that she had loved the wrong person.
Now that she had fallen in love with Huo Yunshen and was facing such a special situation, one could imagine that Xu Xiyan’s love journey would definitely be even more perilous than before.
Sigh. Fang Xiaocheng was truly worried for her. “Yanyan, don’t be sad. You should think about your next step.”
Now, the effects of Jia Qing’s poisoning case had passed and Xu Xiyan’s name was cleared, but her company had yet to arrange new jobs for her.
She had also yet to receive a call from the “Red Sleeved Beauty” production crew to resume her shoot. So she decided to visit a black-market agent for some odd jobs to earn some extra money.
Xu Xiyan arrived at the dressing room. The second lead actress Xu Xinrou was done with her makeup and was waiting for her part. She saw Xu Xiyan had arrived and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Though she showed nothing on her face, her heart was filled with disgust.
