Chapter 197: Going Home

The current assets of the Zheng family were basically under Xiao Huan’s name. To transfer them to his hands, at the very least, Xiao Huan would have to sign. Could it be that Xiao Huan had already signed? I felt very uneasy, even a bit scared. I didn't know if Xiao Huan was suffering any hardship right now. If something really happened to Xiao Huan, I would never be able to forgive myself, let alone face the late Mrs. Zheng and Xiao Huan’s grandfather.

The people from the Zheng family went out to search for a long time but found no news. It seemed the person had truly been taken under control.

By evening, I followed the address Zheng Han gave me. But just as I arrived, this guy made me go to another place. I have to say, this guy’s vigilance was still very strong. After tossing and turning two or three times, I finally arrived at the location.

I came to this place. The spot Zheng Han chose was exceptionally dark and eerie. I walked in slowly, looking around vigilantly.

Suddenly, I saw Zheng Han sitting not far away, and then I saw Xiao Huan fainted to the side. I was furious and shouted at Zheng Han, "What did you do to Xiao Huan?"

"Nothing? It’s just that she didn't want to live herself. Don't say I didn't give this niece a way to live; if I hadn't stopped her earlier, she would have been dead already!"

Hearing this, I didn't understand what he meant for a moment. I looked at Zheng Han and asked angrily, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean? You’re asking me? This girl wanted to take sleeping pills in her room last night. If I hadn't happened to come by, do you think you would still be able to see her now?"

"What? Impossible. Why would she take sleeping pills for no reason? I..."

"I don't have time to deal with your bullshit. Anyway, I’ve already obtained the Zheng family’s assets. As for my eldest niece, do whatever you want. I’m leaving!"

After speaking, Zheng Han wanted to leave. I quickly rushed over, grabbed Zheng Han, and said, "You aren't going anywhere until you explain yourself clearly!"

Zheng Han smiled, then pointed to the fainted Xiao Huan on the side and said, "Are you sure you want to waste time on me? If you don't save her quickly, she might be gone!"

Hearing this, I was so angry I let him go and quickly ran over to pick up Xiao Huan and rushed out.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and there was no danger. The doctor said Xiao Huan had taken a second dose of sleeping pills, but luckily her stomach had been pumped, and she was fine now. However, her mental state was unstable and her attitude was negative; she might commit suicide at any time, so I was told to keep a close watch on her.

I stayed by Xiao Huan’s hospital bed, blaming myself constantly. At the same time, I wondered why Xiao Huan would suddenly try to commit suicide. Was it really because of me? Because of what happened last night, I had thought she would understand and slowly recover, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Finally, Xiao Huan slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the awakened Xiao Huan, tears suddenly fell involuntarily. I gently hugged Xiao Huan and said, "Why are you so silly? Do you know what you are doing?"

Xiao Huan didn't speak, but silently enjoyed my embrace.

I slowly let her go and looked at the smiling Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan gently wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Yang Yun, you cried. Did you cry for me?"

"Promise me, you must live well in the future, you must live well!" I said to the Xiao Huan in front of me, trembling.

Seeing my reaction and expression, Xiao Huan smiled slightly and nodded at me.

I quickly took out the porridge I had prepared earlier and fed Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan smiled at me and then said, "Brother Yang Yun, I have nothing left now. If you don't want me, I really can't go on living!"

"Zheng Han said earlier that the Zheng family had become his? What exactly is going on?"

"What he said isn't entirely true. I guess the Zheng family is now state property. I have already given up the entire Zheng family. Now I have nothing left!"

"Are you crazy? Why did you do that?"

"I thought about it. I can't manage such a large family business, and it’s always being coveted by others. Instead of that, it’s better to donate it. Although my second uncle forced me to sign yesterday, it didn't have any effect. I guess he has already been arrested by the authorities. I decided to do this the day I made soup for you, and I did it. So, the Zheng family has nothing to do with me anymore!"

"You just threw away such a huge fortune? That’s too much of a pity. Do you know how much it’s worth? And it was left to you by your grandmother!"

"What does that have to do with me? Compared to Brother Yang Yun, I only want Brother Yang Yun!"

I was truly speechless at the words of this little loli in front of me. This girl was truly stubborn, and now there was no way I could let her stay here. The Zheng family was gone, and there was no point in her staying here.

"Alright, when you recover, I’ll take you back!"

Hearing my words, Xiao Huan was overjoyed. She hugged my arm and acted like a spoiled child, saying, "From now on, I want to follow Brother Yang Yun every day. Wherever Brother Yang Yun goes, I go!"

Hearing Xiao Huan’s words, I felt a headache coming on. I only hoped that Su Xueya wouldn't have too many misunderstandings when the time came.

After recuperating in the hospital for a few days, Xiao Huan’s mental and physical state had recovered. I prepared to leave this place with her. When we left, except for Uncle Zheng who came to see us off excitedly, we didn't see anyone else. But that wasn't their fault; we didn't have much of a relationship with the people of the Zheng family to begin with. We were like leaders who had been parachuted in, without a shred of affection, so naturally, no one came.

Sitting in the car on the way back, I felt a glimmer of anticipation, but also a trace of hatred. I didn't know how Third Brother, Zhang Yinuo, Old Five, and the others were doing. It had been three or four months since I fell into the moat, and now it was almost the New Year. I didn't know if they had forgotten me, or if they already thought I was dead.

And then there was the Li family. The Li family had harmed me so badly. Had the Li family been rooted out by the authorities? What was Li Hong’s situation now? I was very curious. More importantly, who was it that betrayed me back then? This was what made me the angriest. Thinking that the person who betrayed me might be one of the few people I trusted most made me feel as if I were suffocating, unable to breathe.

Finally, we got out of the car, and I took Xiao Huan to this long-lost city. It was still the same as before; the small city was so small that we had to walk quite a distance to get home because the mountain roads made it difficult for cars to pass.
