Sun Fengzi’s expression changed once again. One had to admit that Zhao Youlin’s words had prodded at Sun Fengzi’s soft spots.
Zhao Youlin was Zhao Yifei’s blood-related older cousin. When Sun Fengzi had confirmed no outsiders were inside Zhao Youlin’s office, only then did she go there and make a fuss at her office. Even if there were outsiders, they did not dare to simply spread the words, saying that Zhao Youlin should count herself lucky because Zhao Yifei had laid his eyes on her.
However, in her heart, Sun Fengzi knew that if that incident were to spread, Zhao Yifei would definitely be deemed unreasonable and even be scolded badly.
Even though Zhao Youlin was not Zhao Yifei’s biological older sister, she was at least his older cousin. Their blood relationship was only a generation apart. To put it bluntly, what Zhao Yifei had done to Zhao Youlin in the past was called…!
On top of that, Zhao Youlin was pursuing the matter before the crowd. At the end of the day, Zhao Yifei’s injury on his certain part would inevitably be exposed.
Sun Fengzi treasured her own reputation. If the world found out that her only beloved son had lost his fertility and might not be able to produce offspring for the rest of his life, they would become a laughing stock. If that happened, they might as well have killed her right away!
“I…I… Youlin, what are you talking about?! When did I say I want to pursue the matter further with you? The past is the past. Why did you have to be so calculative when we are a family?!” Sun Fengzi said embarrassedly. She forced a smile on her face that resulted in a terrible-looking smile that looked even worse than crying.
The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips curved upward. She pretended to look very frustrated. “Is that so? If that’s the case, did I think wrongly? Aunt, I never expected you to be so reasonable. Even after knowing that Yifei was at fault for all that had happened, you can actually stand on the side of justice instead of siding with your own son. You did not even take into the account the fact that I’ve struck Yifei. Initially, I was worried that you would hold a grudge against me because of that incident. Now, it looks like you are a woman with a big heart. I suppose you certainly wouldn’t blame me for striking Yifei today too, right?”
The smile which Sun Fengzi had forced to show up on her face turned stiff. Apparently, she had never thought that Zhao Youlin could turn the tide and settle the issue so easily. At that moment, she grew angry once again.
Speaking this, how could Zhao Youlin possibly grant Sun Fengzi an opportunity to refute her? She smiled as she added, “Originally, I thought that Yifei would change slightly after staying with you and Uncle overseas for so long and had his horizons widen, or at least he would have some improvement in the way he treats others. I thought that he was no longer carrying himself so arrogantly and with such poor manners. As such, when Uncle came to look for me, I gladly agreed to his request. However, it looks like I have to re-evaluate Yifei’s character as well as this matter.”
Zhao Youlin had threatened her with Zhao Yifei’s scandal as well as his company’s position. Each of these was poking at Sun Fengzi’s soft spots. She could not find it in herself to fight back at all.
Sun Fengzi was so angry that she nearly gnashed her own teeth. She glared at Zhao Youlin fiercely. In the end, she did not say anything. She snorted before she turned around and ran in the direction where Zhao Yifei had left.
Zhao Shunchang had been standing outside the crowd. He dared not come close to Sun Fengzi. When he saw Sun Fengzi dashing out in a fit of rage, he was worried about her and afraid that she would cause another fuss or do other silly things.
After he hesitated for some time, he gritted his teeth and decided to run out and follow behind Sun Fengzi.
Zhao Shunchang and his family had unexpectedly retreated from the banquet. Little did they know that when the couple left, the crowd at the banquet already had their gazes fixated on them.
After they watched how the former master had treated Zhao Shunchang and his family, they knew well that the third young master of the Zhao family was about to be abandoned by the former master.
Since the sensational news about the murder case in Shalnork broke out, the second young master of the Zhao family had been abandoned by their family. Today, the third young master had gradually lost their power as well. On the other hand, the eldest young master of the Zhao family had recovered their biological son at this moment. Lady Luck had smiled upon certain people, and they had already gained the victory.
Meanwhile, it was about time for these people to lend their helping hands to the needy ones.
After the people who had caused the fuss was gone, the banquet resumed its liveliness and noises. However, while the banquet was hustle and bustle on the surface, a raging undercurrent that one could not possibly ignore was flowing beneath it. The pool of fate was no longer calm.
The former master swept across the crowd discreetly with his wise eyes. He remembered the crowd’s response at that moment in his heart. The next moment, he began to speak and attract the crowd’s attention. He led the entire party to the main topic.
“A minor accident has occurred today. As such, this has caused us a little unhappiness. We are sorry for that, and we hope that you won’t mind about it either. We shall continue with the banquet and we hope all of us could enjoy the day happily. We would also give our best to be the host.”
Before the banquet started, everyone had already watched three good shows. The guests were more or less confused by this chain of events.
However, it did not take long before they accepted it. The commotion was, after all, related to the Zhao family’s affairs. They did not have to dwell on it for long. What mattered most was the event that came next.
In other words, a family should have wealth as well as status. If the family had wealth but lacked status, they would become the talk of the town. If the family had wealth and status, no matter how they had made themselves a joke, no one would dare to simply spread the words and only keep it to themselves.
“I suppose everyone knows that the main reason for having this banquet is to celebrate my daughter-in-law’s birthday. Besides, we also want to use this opportunity to make several announcements.”
As the former master was speaking, he paused. The guests immediately understood that they had reached the culmination of the banquet. As such, this had piqued their interests.
“You have seen and heard the incident that happened just now. Therefore, you more or less have some understanding about it. That’s right. Today, one of the announcements that we are going to make is that my eldest son, Zhao Shunrong and my daughter-in-law, Duan Yarong have finally found their long-lost son who had been in exile for years. This person is standing right beside me now.”
After saying this, the former master grinned. He turned his head around and cast a glance at Han Yichen. From his single glance, everyone could see how much the former master was fond of Han Yichen and cared about him.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you might find my grandson looking very familiar. That’s right. This is because Yichen was the president of Sheng Shi Group and now, he is the president of the Sheng Huang Group.”
The former master’s words were like a huge rock that had been thrown into a lake and set off a huge wave in their hearts.
The eldest grandson of the Zhao family was the president of Sheng Huang Group? Regardless of the Zhao family or Sheng Huang Group, each of them was equally powerful on their own. Now that they stood together, the extent of the greatness of the power spoke for itself..
