What Was Worth A Heart

Chapter 27 - The Xi Family Funeral

I actually had it all planned in my head, and when I tried to write it down, it just left me.......

"Principle Evan, are you sure it's okay for them to do this? Could they perhaps owe you something, that's why they did that willingly?" Shao Long talked over the phone while his hand was busy scribbling the plans of the current business affair. He was in his room after the meeting, tired and unrested. The previous dream had done everything but let him have a good rest.

"Oh, actually, they did owe me something. Now we're ALMOST even. That, and they hate Xi Shen Ko" Principle Evan's voice sounded from the phone.

Xi Shen Ko was the name of their father. A nice name for a terrible person. Shao Long preferred to call him that than call him father. Same goes for Shao Jun.

"Then that makes me one of the people owing you favours? That sounds scary enough" Shao Long joked.

"You already did your part. That, and I have something to say to you. Please don't freak out, because I swear nothing bad will happen" the man's voice suddenly became serious.

Shao Long paused for a while ".....That didn't sound good. Is it that bad?"

"I..........may have told bits of your problems to them..."

Shao Long's face drained of blood, eyes bulging out in complete horror...

"......what?" Shao Long was deadpanned. He wanted to shout, but was too shocked that voices stuck at his throat.

"You........told them?!" Shao Long couldn't keep it down anymore. He abruptly stood from his bed in panic, walking with trembling knees here and there "What do you mean you told them?! I thought you said you won't! Why did you even do that?! Is that necessary?! You'll get me killed! What the hell, Sir, YOU PROMISED FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YOU CAN'T BE FREAKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!!"

Someone banged on the door. Instantly, Shao Long jumped in shock, clearly panicked enough. Xueyang's voice rang from outside "YOUNG MASTER SHAO LONG, ARE YOU OKAY?!"

"I'm fine I'm fine!" he immediately went back to his phone.

"Explanation. Now!"

"Calm down, calm down. It's not good for you. I told you, you can rest assured. I didn't tell them too much about it. I had to convince them that you're different from Xi Shen Ko. They would've never believed me if I didn't say that you're my student and is currently being burdened by this court stuff. I trust them, and they promised not to tell anyone. You're safe, Shao Long, no need to panic" Principle Evan's voice sounded monotone, but only few could notice the huge concern he had in him. Shao Long wasn't one of them due to his panic.

"You........what exactly did you tell them?" Shao Long's voice was shaky.

"I told them that the bastard left the matter of court be handled by you alone, and your plans. They were really fond of your plans. I didn't say anything about the abuse or the surgery, you can relax" Principle Evan sighed. Once more, he felt like another useless human being for letting this happen.

"You really didn't?" Shao Long asked.

"Of course not. I respect your privacy. Although I'd love to tell someone else, I would never. As long as you didn't allow me".

Shao Long breathed out a heavy sigh of relief before slumping into his bed. "Thank you".

"Well...... wasn't expecting that" the other person responded.

"What were you expecting, me lashing out? I'm too lazy for that" Shao Long chuckled.

"Yeah yeah, says the person who made new formulas just because they can't understand YouTube". Shao Long could've sworn he could see Principle Evan rolling his eyes.
