He Chang Min took the call immediately and made a long distance away from Xie Hue Lin and the Xie family.
Zhuang Xuan's angry words and a mouthful of curses that He Chang Min expected to hear didn't deafen his ears, rather a heavy and stern comment spilled out of his mouth.
"Lian-Lian, she is not any normal young girl. She is neither a side country girl nor a long-lost daughter who abruptly found her biological family... She is... She is..."
The words that Zhuang Xuan wanted to speak seemed to tug a deep muscle on his throat making him hard to continue his sentence.
He Chang Min grew worried and hurried him. "She is what?!" His tone sounded more like a demand.
"...An adopted granddaughter of a Yakuza clan..." Zhuang Xuan relentlessly answered.
He Chang Min froze. For a moment he doubted his healthy body to defect in some way especially his ears.
An innocent young girl who couldn't keep a single secret or lie. Always appeared bright and cherry with a dream to be a singer.
A yakuza granddaughter? That doesn't make any sense?!
"Are you joking with me, Xuan?" He Chang Min could only accept Zhuang Xuan's words as a joke or a piece of false information.
Zhuang Xuan rubbed his temple and raged. " I'm not joking! Do you really f*cking think that I would joke about this stuff?"
After a few gulps and inhaling a long air, Zhuang Xuan continued. "Li Lian, adopted in Japan by the head of a yakuza clan, the Ryouma Clan. When she was found by the authority, her body was filled with wounds and suspected that she suffered from domestic violence. Her parents could not be found and told that she could not speak a single Japanese word and only speak Chinese. After she was adopted by Ryouma Clan, she had two step-brothers. The first one named Shin and Shun. After a few years for some unknown reasons, Li Lian went back to China, left the Ryouma family and adopted for a few years by her foster mother Yue Xiaoli. After that, as you know, she was adopted back by her biological family, engaged with a trash human and died... Or that how it was supposed to be. "
Zhuang Xuan spoke like a robot, swift and fluent without stuttering for a moment. Although Zhuang Xuan didn't speak in dawdle or fast pace, to He Chang Min's ears, the words passed to his ears words by words like slow motion.
Covering his mouth and staggering to backward until his broad back felt a solid cold wall behind him, it took a long few minutes for He Chang Min to pull himself together.
"...Are you sure?"
That's the only reaction that came from He Chang Min's mouth.
"I am." Zhuang Xuan briefly answered.
He Chang Min thought and could only raise up a question. "Then... Why did she never introduce herself as a yakuza granddaughter? "
Zhuang Xuan gave a sarcastic laugh full of mockery. At first, he couldn't understand the reason why Li Lian hid such a secret, but after receiving He Chang Min's reaction, he could fully understand Li Lian's feelings.
"Then tell me, if you knew that your fiancee is a granddaughter of a Japanese Yakuza, would you see her in the same view as before? A person like you who threw her aside without knowing her identity what would happen when you knew that she is actually a Yakuza Granddaughter who is well-known for their ruthlessness and cruelness? Don't joke with me, you know exactly why Lian Lian was afraid to expose herself. That day, when she called you to say something...I think she wanted to tell you everythin-"
Suddenly Zhuang Xuan stopped talking as if he realized something. "Min- dog, now I understand why no one in Xie Family instantly believed that Li Lian used drugs. It wasn't the video, but because the knew that Lian Lian is a yakuza member- Lian Lian using drugs seemed to be a normal thing in their eyes. "
He Chang Min's heart went cold from Zhuang Xuan's words. His cheeks felt unbearably burning as if someone slapped him raw.
A harsh tug on the string of his heart hit a sore spot. Feeling the sudden overwhelming facts and waves of surging feelings, He Chang Min covered his mouth and cough harshly.
Between his harsh coughs, his breath grew heavier, his lungs felt cold from the icy breath that he drew.
He Chang Min face almost turned green and blue, switching from one color to another. His knee that trembled badly lost its strength and in a blink, he fell to the floor.
His pale hand clutched on top of his chest and wheezed loudly. Loud enough for Zhuang Xuan to exclaim and woke He Chang Min from the thoughts that engulfed him.
