Zhao Defa suddenly snapped back to reality and said hurriedly, "Blue Boss, it's you? I'm sorry, my son doesn't know how to behave, causing trouble for you. Please accept my apologies on their behalf..."
Although he hired someone to cause a car accident, he didn't expect that Zhang Ziwen didn't die completely.
After Zhang Ziwen was sent to the hospital, he miraculously woke up after a round of emergency treatment by the doctors and wrote a will appointing Lan Xin to succeed him as the Chairman of the company.
Therefore, until Lan Xin is pulled down from her position as Chairman and the company is under control, it's important not to make any premature moves. One should try to remain low-key in her presence.
Zhao Liang didn't know the reason behind it and dare not believe that Lan Xin is truly the new Chairman of Wenlong Group Company.
So, he looked at his father in disbelief, somewhat dissatisfied and said:
"Dad, are you mistaken? She's just a cheap woman who uses money to indulge herself with misters. How could you apologize to her?"
Zhao Defa raised his hand and slapped Zhao Liang, saying, "You little rascal, how have I been teaching you? I told you not to cause trouble outside, yet you act haughtily everywhere. You even dare to use such rebellious words to insult our company's new Chairman, Lan Xin. It seems like you're looking for trouble. Hurry up and apologize to her!"
For Zhao Defa, this was a slap on his son's face, but a pain in his heart.
He pretends to be a righteous renegade in front of Lan Xin as part of his act of self-torture, with the aim of making her lower her guard towards him.
"Impossible, that's definitely not possible. Lan Xin is just a cheap woman, how could she possibly be the Chairman of Wenlong Group? Dad, you must be joking with me and pretending to deceive me."
Lin Jiao Jiao also chimed in, "Yeah, Dad, you can't be serious. We know Blue from top to bottom, she's not even the company Chairman."
Zhao Defa shouted angrily, "You two idiots, do you really want to kill me? As the Deputy General Manager of Wenlong Group, don't I know who the Chairman is? Get down on your knees and apologize to Blue Boss immediately, or else I'll have the bodyguards break your legs and throw you out of here!"
Zhao Liang and Lin Jiao Jiao finally realized that they had bitten off more than they could chew.
The two exchanged glances and promptly knelt down.
Lin Jiao Jiao apologized to Lan Xin, "Madam Lan, sorry, we offended you just now. You are magnanimous, so forgive us this one time!"
Zhao Liang suddenly became like a begging dog, appealing to Lan Xin, "Classmate, since we are classmates, please forgive us for this time!"
Lan Xin pointed at me and said, "The person you are apologizing to and seeking forgiveness is not me, but him!"
Zhao Liang asked with some discontent, "Why do you want us to apologize to him?"
The guy has always considered me a mistress, although he got beaten up by me, but he still disagrees with me, thinking that apologizing to me is somewhat discrediting.
Lan Xin said word by word, "Because he is the son of Zhang Ziwen, the Chairman who founded Yunlong Group Company, and the legitimate heir Zhang Long to the company!"
This sentence was like a heavy bomb that exploded in the crowd.
Everyone only now understood that I was not the mistress described by Zhao Liang and Lin Jiao Jiao, but a genuine second-generation rich kid. They had simply been misled by the couple.
Everyone was utterly surprised; not only did I have great skills, but I was also the son of a wealthy family. They cast envious glances at me in turn.
Zhao Defa was the first to react, bowing and saying, "I often heard your father talk about you, but I never expected you to grow up so tall..."
I broke in quickly, speaking in a cold tone, "Don't be so friendly with me. I'm not interested in what you're saying. All I want to know is how you intend to handle the situation that just happened!"
"I'll make them apologize to you right now," Zhao Defa lifted his foot and kicked Zhao Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted furiously, "You rebellious son, why don't you apologize to Master Zhang at once?"
"I've never seen my father treat me like this before," Zhao Liang had to crawl up from the ground, helplessly kneeling down and bowing his head in apology to me:
"Master Zhang, I'm sorry. I shouldn't judge people by their looks and call you a mistress!"
I replied coldly, "Alright, I know you look down on me from the bottom of your heart and aren't sincerely apologizing. Go away, I don't want to see you again!"
After beating him thoroughly, I had already released most of my anger, so there was no need to continue tormenting him.
In that case, if I did that, people would think of me as a narrow-minded and ungenerous leader of the future of Wenlong Group Company. It's better to give this guy a face-saving way out now.
Feeling humiliated in front of me, a young man of only 18, Zhao Liang was not very pleased. But seeing that I had exposed his thoughts and agreed to let him off the hook, he didn't hold any grudge against me.
In any case, this grudge has already been established. In the future, he will definitely repay us for the humiliation he suffered today.
So, he took Lin Jiao Jiao's hand from the ground, and fled from the shop as if he were being chased.
After watching his son and daughter-in-law disappear around the door, Zhao Defa smiled at me and Lan Xin with a fawning expression.
"Blue Boss, Master Zhang, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I didn't properly educate my son and daughter-in-law, causing them to offend you two. When I get home, I will definitely discipline them well. If there are no more problems, we will leave!"
Lan Xin waved her hand at him: "It's okay. You can leave now!"
Zhao Defa and his bodyguards nodded their farewells to us and turned around immediately, leaving.
After the group left, the mall manager came over to us, looking very pleased and said:
"I am Liu Yongchun, the General Manager in charge of this mall. I apologize profusely to Blue Boss and Master Zhang for the inconvenience caused by your presence. We did not expect such distinguished guests, and we deeply regret any negative impact on your shopping experience..."
I shifted my gaze to the security guard who had gotten up from the ground and said without expression:
"Your security guards are pretty bold. They actually accepted bribes from someone else and came to confront us. That's really helping the wrong side!"
Liu Yongchun hurriedly apologized with a smile, "Please rest assured, Master Zhang. I will take them to task in no uncertain terms!"
I pointed at the security team leader, Li Dayong, and said, "This guy is too arrogant. I think he should be fired!"
Li Dayong rushed to kneel on the ground and begged me, "Master Zhang, everything was done by Zhao Liang. I was only following orders. I have old parents and young children to support, please don't let Mr. Liu fire me!"
I replied coldly, "Everyone must pay the price for their actions. You'd better watch out for yourself!"
Saying that, I strode towards the exit of the boutique.
After Lan Xin took the card given by the salesperson, she also followed me to leave.
The sound of Liu Yongchun's flattering voice followed from behind: "Blue Boss, Master Zhang, please don't rush away!"
As we walked out of the mall together and arrived in front of the Audi A6 car that Lan Xin had driven over, she handed me the card in her hand and said:
"This is a card your father used before. There are still over 100,000 on it. You can use it first, and if you need more, just let me know!"
Hearing it was my father's card, I took it without any hesitation and slipped it into my pocket.
But thinking about what Zhao Liang and Lin Jiao Jiao said, that Lan Xin had started to depend on wealthy men since her university days, a thorn felt like it had been stuck in my heart, making me feel quite uncomfortable.
I know that the so-called big shots they talked about are my father.
This clearly indicates that Blue was already with my dad when my mother was still alive.
Lan Xin, however, told me that her relationship with my father was pure.
Who would believe that?
She must be lying to me.
Just for that, I can't forgive her.
So, I took off the suit I was wearing and replaced it with my shirt and pants, then threw it at Lan Xin with a cold expression, "There, wear this."
"Here it is, it's the clothes you bought. I find them dirty!"
After saying that, I left in a hurry, like a startled rabbit.
Lan Xin was puzzled by my abnormal actions and shouted after my retreating back, "Wait, where are you going?"
"Zhang Long, where are you going?"
I felt resentful towards her and didn't even bother to look back, as I charged forward without turning around.
Quickly!
I disappeared into the vast darkness of the night.
