Chapter 281: Can You Be Quiet?
"Divorce or not, that's none of your business." Zhan Lian’s tone toward Yun Tao is openly hostile.
Right now, Yun Tao holds more importance to Anran than Zhan Lian himself, her so-called "ex-husband." It would be strange if Zhan Lian isn’t furious. He frowns, the murderous aura in his eyes gradually fading, though a trace of hostility still lingers between his brows. In the end, however, he holds himself back.
"Anyway, I have to thank you. Without you, my wife wouldn’t have made it out of that community gate."
But if Yun Tao hadn’t been there, Zhan Lian would have found Anran long ago.
Zhan Lian hasn’t forgotten that Anran left the community through the fire escape with Yun Tao. He arrived immediately afterward, just a step too late.
That’s a separate matter, though. A debt is a debt, and the undeniable fact remains—Yun Tao stands between them. That’s something Zhan Lian has no choice but to face.
"Alright, I’ll let you go today. I’ll have someone arrange for you to be transferred to District 1. If you ever run into trouble, Yun Tao, tell me. I, Zhan Lian, will go through fire and water for you." But then, his tone darkens, his gaze sharp. "However, from now on, if I ever find out that you’ve done anything to my wife—no matter when or where—you’ll be dead before you know it."
Under normal circumstances, Zhan Lian would never let Yun Tao off so easily. But right now, he has no choice. Anran’s heart has already drifted too far. The more he tries to kill Yun Tao, the further away Anran will go.
He has finally found his wife and daughter again. There’s no way he will lose them because of Yun Tao.
The bitterness in his chest is suffocating. Since childhood, he has never felt so utterly powerless and humiliated.
Without another word, Zhan Lian stands up. He doesn’t spare a glance at Yun Tao or Hengheng as he strides to the door and yanks it open. His expression is still grim when he steps outside—and when he spots Luo Feifan approaching, his face darkens even more.
"What’s wrong?" Luo Feifan quickens his pace when he sees Zhan Lian’s stormy expression.
Tang Siluo, for some inexplicable reason, wants to assign Anran to the District 3. How does Zhan Lian feel, after finally reuniting with his family, only for someone to try and separate them again?
Does she even understand how to be a decent human being? Does she have any sense of how to handle things properly?!
Luo Feifan silently agrees with Zhan Lian’s anger. Tang Siluo’s actions have been inconsiderate, to say the least. If it weren’t for their lifelong friendship as childhood friends, even Luo Feifan would want to beat some sense into her.
So when Zhan Lian yelled at Tang Siluo, Luo Feifan has to admit—he secretly enjoyed it.
After settling things with Tang Siluo, Zhan Lian entrusts Yun Tao and Hengheng to Luo Feifan for further arrangements. Then, without hesitation, he strides toward the guardrail in the middle of the highway. Placing one hand on it, he vaults over in one swift motion and heads straight for the house where his wife and daughter are staying.
