CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 414: GOING BACK TO MOTHER’S HOME WITH THE CHILD

Abel exited the hall and found Zhang Miaoyan at the door. Zhang Miaoyan motioned for him to keep quiet.

Abel left silently, leaving Zhang Miaoyan there.

Zhang Miaoyan saw Yue Xiaoyang’s increasingly lonely figure. She wanted to rush in and scold him awake. Since he’s still hung up, why not try harder? Is he compromising with fate so quickly?

Zhang Miaoyan repeatedly reminded herself not to confront Yue Xiaoyang head-on. He was under great pressure, pretending to have forgotten Xiao Yu in front of them. If she mercilessly exposed his inner pain, Yue Xiaoyang might be devastated.

Zhang Miaoyan consulted a psychologist, who told her, "Mr. Yue is going through his lowest period. Everyone needs a psychological anchor. His anchor is the Miss Gong you mentioned. We can use this Miss Gong’s influence to indirectly affect him, but not directly."

Zhang Miaoyan was a bit puzzled, "What does directly mean?"

"Miss Gong should not appear, nor should she be deliberately mentioned. Mr. Yue is in a fragile and suspicious stage. He cares about Miss Gong but also strongly rejects others’ sympathy. He will doubt your sincerity and think you pity him instead of genuinely wanting to help. This greatly impacts his psyche."

Zhang Miaoyan patted her chest, relieved that she had managed her temper back then; otherwise, she would have made a grave mistake.

She humbly asked for advice, "Miss Gong mustn’t know, and I can’t deliberately bring up the person he cares about. So how should I guide him?"

The psychologist said, "Mr. Yue previously hid his emotions so well that we thought he had no hope for anything or anyone, which left us helpless. Now that we know he has someone he cares about, we have a way."

"Miss Zhang, you can occasionally let Mr. Yue know some news about Miss Gong, whether true or not. Let him know that Miss Gong is encountering difficulties and is very helpless in China. He won’t allow himself to continue his decline once he knows."

Zhang Miaoyan understood.

No matter how many words they say, it won’t compare to Yue Xiaoyang figuring things out on his own.

Yue Xiaoyang thought Xiao Yu would be happy with Yu Zheng, so he didn’t care about anything else.

But what if Xiao Yu isn’t happy? Could he still turn a blind eye?

Zhang Miaoyan finally found the crux of the problem and sincerely thanked the doctor, "If needed, I will seek your advice again."

"Miss Zhang, you are too kind. Helping the patients is our duty."

Zhang Miaoyan returned to discuss with Xie Yuchen, who thought the method was feasible.

Zhang Miaoyan went to the manor again, still thinking about how to use Xiao Yu’s news without her knowing. Then she saw a hot topic on the Chinese Weibo.

You Lifen and Yu Zheng getting drunk together at a bar.

The photos showed the two looking very close, not just ordinary friends.

Yue Xiaoyang had never paid attention to entertainment news. If she didn’t tell him, he might never know.

Gong Xiaoyu had no time to call back and confirm with Gong Xiaoyu. She pretended to be angry and called Yu Chen on the balcony, "Yu Zheng is really messing around with You Lifen? How did he promise Xiao Yu? How long have they been engaged, and he’s already causing this mess? If Xiao Yu really marries him, wouldn’t she have to endure a betraying husband!"

A heavy thud sounded from inside the house.

Adri picked up the cup Mr. Yue had dropped on the carpet. She asked, "Mr. Yue, is your hand uncomfortable?"

Yue Xiaoyang stared in the direction of the balcony, his eyes suppressing turbulent anger that frightened Adri.

Adri was at a loss. It had been a long time since she’d seen Mr. Yue so emotionally distraught.

She looked towards the balcony but couldn’t see Miss Zhang from there, only hearing her voice.

Adri’s Chinese wasn’t good enough to understand what Miss Zhang was saying. Was Mr. Yue angry because of her?

Zhang Miaoyan heard the noise inside and knew Yue Xiaoyang had heard her.

She continued, "This isn’t the first time such rumors have surfaced! Yu Zheng is really something. I thought he would focus on being with Xiao Yu! I misjudged him. Xiao Yu must be very sad now, right?"

Xie Yuchen advised over the phone, "Miaoyan, that’s enough. Leave it at that."

Zhang Miaoyan replied, "Okay, let’s see when we return to China. We’re too far away to help now."

She put away her phone and walked into the house a few minutes later, pretending the call never happened, and said, "Xiaoyang, what do you want to eat today? Laisi’s Chinese food isn’t good. I’ll cook for you."

Yue Xiaoyang was silent for a long time before saying, "I want to go back to China."

Zhang Miaoyan was stunned. If he goes back to China, what about the medical team here, will they go too?

Is the effect of their plan exceeding expectations? She only wanted him to cooperate with the treatment!

How should she cover this lie?

"Xiaoyang, why do you suddenly want to go back to China? Does Tengxia Industries need you back?"

"Don’t worry about me. I want to go back to China."

Zhang Miaoyan temporarily soothed Yue Xiaoyang’s emotions. After much thought, she called An Junxi.

Xiaoyang is going back to China. Jun Xi would find out sooner or later.

She roughly explained the situation and repeatedly urged An Junxi, "This matter is too significant. The biggest fear is causing Tengxia Industries’ stock price to fluctuate. Now is not the time to let the public know. Don’t tell anyone, not even Xiao Yu."

An Junxi took a long time to process what Zhang Miaoyan had said over the phone.

Yue Xiaoyang didn’t stay in the United States for further studies, didn’t fall out of love. He was about to face disability, so he hid, avoiding the senior sister.

An Junxi closed her eyes and tapped her forehead a couple of times. Every time she asked Yi Ke about Yue Xiaoyang, he would evade the question. Why hadn’t she noticed?

Such a significant event, he’s been deceiving and hiding it from her. An Junxi couldn’t accept it.

She had told him that, as a couple, they should be open and honest about everything. He had promised her, but he didn’t keep it.

She calmly said, "Whether the rumors are true or not, as long as Yue Xiaoyang continues to stay angry, he will cooperate with rehabilitation and will undoubtedly be more determined than before. Stabilize him first; returning to China draws too much attention. There are a lot of people talking, making it easy for the media to catch wind."

Zhang Miaoyan didn’t know how to stabilize Yue Xiaoyang’s emotions. An Junxi advised, "Ask him directly what he plans to do when he returns. Does he want to confront Yu Zheng? Can he beat Yu Zheng? Tell him to stand up first!"

Zhang Miaoyan feared this approach might be too aggressive. An Junxi urged her not to worry too much, "Just give it a try."

Zhang Miaoyan steadied herself, "I’ll try then."

An Junxi hung up the phone, and Gu Yikun messaged her, asking if she had eaten lunch.

An Junxi didn’t reply. She went to the children’s room to check on her daughter, who had just woken up.

She asked her daughter, "Sweetie, do you want to go see Grandma and Grandpa? Mommy will take you to stay there for a couple of nights."

Little Ai Xi immediately woke up, "I want to go!"

"Okay, pack up your little dresses."

Baby Ai Xi climbed up and asked her mommy, "Is brother going too?"

"Brother will go after school."

"What about Daddy?"

"Daddy won’t go."

"Why?"

"Daddy is busy. Let’s let him live alone for a few days. We won’t disturb him."

An Junxi spoke gently, but inside, she wanted to knock Gu Yikun flat. She didn’t want to take the kids back to her parents’ house, but she was really just too angry!
