Chapter 230: The Truth
Xu Yihuan chewed on a fried dough stick, looking longingly at her father: "Can I go out now?"
Xu Rongyu glanced at Xu Yihuan and nodded in satisfaction.
Turning to the driver, Xiao Li, who was standing at the door, she called out, "Xiao Li, come here quickly and take Miss to school!"
Young Li, upon hearing this, rushed over and gestured, "Please, Miss."
Xu Yihuan nodded casually and followed Xiao Li out the door.
Once they're out the door, can they still care whose car they get into?
Xu Yihuan put her phone in her pocket and walked out.
The next second, he saw his father following behind.
Xu Yihuan looked at Xu Rongyu with surprise and doubt.
"Really? Look, they're going to personally take me to school?"
"Aren't you going to date anymore?"
Xu Rongyu was long past the age of picking up and dropping off Xu Yihuan at school, and besides, his relationship with Pei Yian was getting better and better.
However, the two have not remarried yet; they are still in the stage of a twilight romance.
Xu Yihuan found her biological parents amazing. Even though she was all grown up, her parents were still in the throes of a passionate romance, which showed how good their relationship was.
Hearing Xu Yihuan's words, Xu Rong coughed twice: "What's the rush? Of course, you have to date." The last sentence was spoken much softer.
As Xu Yihuan walked towards the door, she looked at Xu Rongyu with a mocking expression.
Even the usually composed and witty CEO Xu felt embarrassed under such scrutiny, much like a young boy.
He waved his hand to interrupt Xu Yihuan, saying impatiently, "Alright, who wants to take you to school?"
Then he waved to the figure standing in the snow outside.
"Tan Zhixu, come in."
Xu Yihuan was startled and immediately stopped in her tracks.
He asked curtly, "What are you doing?"
"Are you getting revenge on me?"
Xu Rongyu laughed and said bluntly, "Take a piss and look at yourself. You're going to take revenge on me?"
Xu Yihuan hummed twice, but didn't say anything more.
"Hurry up, or you'll be late for class!" Xu Rongyu kept urging Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan then moved outwards step by step.
Upon hearing Xu Rongyu's voice, Tan Zhixu walked towards them step by step.
"Uncle Xu."
Tan Zhixu stopped in front of Xu Rongyu, and Xu Yihuan also stopped.
She was a little worried. Xu Rongyu wasn't an unreasonable person, but for some reason, Xu Yihuan felt vaguely uneasy.
Xu Rongyu saw that her daughter had stopped moving again and snorted coldly, but Xu Yihuan seemed not to hear it and was still tugging at Tan Zhixu's sleeve.
Tan Zhixu lowered his head and smiled softly.
He bent down, tore open the hand warmer in his pocket, and stuck it inside Xu Yihuan's pocket.
He leaned down and whispered a few words in her ear: "Sweetie, go to class first, I'll pick you up after class."
The class only lasts an hour and a half, and it takes almost another hour to get there from here. In other words, if Tan Zhixu wants to pick her up, he can only talk to Xu Rongyu for a little over an hour at most.
Xu Yihuan was still a little uneasy, but Tan Zhixu patted her on the shoulder.
Xu Yihuan could only nod.
"Okay, we'll be going now."
After saying goodbye, Xu Yihuan got into Xiao Li's car parked at the door.
Tan Zhixu and Xu Rongyu watched together as the Maybach disappeared from sight.
The slightly gentle atmosphere between the two suddenly changed in the next instant.
Xu Rongyu snorted coldly.
"Come in with me."
Xu Yihuan sat in the car, feeling extremely uncomfortable and restless.
So Xu Yihuan turned on her phone and sent a message to Tan Zhixu.
The chat window, which used to reply instantly, is now showing no messages for a long time.
Xu Yihuan pursed her lips, and the next second, a message popped up in the class group chat.
[Today's Mao Zedong Thought class is over. We'll move on to Xi Jinping Thought. Please make sure you bring the correct books.]
Xu Yihuan's eyes widened.
Her books were all in her dorm room, and she usually asked Lu Anlan to bring them to her, but this time there was really no way.
When school started, Xu Yihuan left some new books she didn't need at home.
In other words, she needs to go home to get her books.
Taking the book will definitely make me late.
Even so, Xu Yihuan still preferred to go home.
"Brother Li, go home for a bit, I forgot to bring my things."
Upon hearing this, driver Xiao Li nodded without asking any further questions and began to turn the steering wheel to make a U-turn.
The scene I had just witnessed reappeared in my eyes.
Xu Yihuan pursed her lips, looking a little nervous.
In less than ten minutes, the car came to a steady stop in front of the house.
Xu Yihuan opened the car door and had been in the air-conditioned room for twenty minutes when a sudden blast of cold air made her shiver.
I walked slowly, step by step, towards home.
The door to her house wasn't closed, and Xu Yihuan opened it with a gentle push.
Looking around, he couldn't see his father or Tan Zhixu.
Xu Yihuan pursed her lips and decided to go upstairs to get the book first.
As soon as I reached the door of the study, I heard a conversation coming from inside.
"Yesterday, the court sentenced Tan Zhicheng to death and confiscated all his property."
"Illegal possession of firearms, money laundering, trafficking in contraband, robbery, attempted murder, and his dirty henchmen—all of these things have been exposed."
"You did this, didn't you?"
It was Xu Rongyu's voice, very heavy.
Xu Yihuan's breath hitched. It was as if she had seen a ghost about Tan Zhicheng; not a single word of it had reached her ears. She only vaguely knew that Tan Zhicheng had been involved in lawsuits recently.
I never imagined he'd actually reached the point of being sentenced to death...
It seems Tan Zhicheng has done quite a few bad things...
Xu Yihuan's eyes flickered slightly.
"Yes, it's me."
In just a few syllables, Xu Yihuan could hear the coldness and indifference in them.
Xu Yihuan frowned subconsciously from the cold.
Xu Rongyu paused, and Xu Yihuan waited until the flowers had all withered before she heard Xu Rongyu's voice again.
"You orchestrated Huanhuan's abduction by Tan Zhicheng, and even the car accident, didn't you?"
"Otherwise, Tan Zhicheng's true colors wouldn't have been exposed so easily, and his subordinates wouldn't have surfaced so easily."
"Was all of this part of your plan?"
"You can take Tan Zhicheng directly to court and also take advantage of Huanhuan's sympathy to make her reconcile with you."
"Young man, you're quite clever."
Although she seemed to be praising him, Xu Rongyu's voice was almost overflowing with sarcasm.
These words struck Xu Yihuan like a blow to the head, making her see stars.
Tan Zhixu subconsciously frowned.
"It was me, but..." But he was unaware of the car accident. His purpose in setting this up was to eliminate Tan Zhicheng in one fell swoop and, incidentally, to curry favor with Huanhuan.
"But what? But you did these things out of desperation?"
A familiar voice reached Xu Rong and Tan Zhixu's ears, startling them both, who simultaneously looked towards the door.
Xu Yihuan pushed open the door and appeared in their line of sight with red eyes.
"So all of this was part of your plan?"
"You're using me to lure the snake out of its hole?!"
"In order to achieve your plan, you didn't hesitate to make me and Jiang Jinnan your pawns, even though Jiang Jinnan is still lying in bed and can't wake up!"
Xu Yihuan pressed closer to Tan Zhixu, who instinctively took a step back.
She looked at Xu Yihuan with a helpless expression.
