C37 Utmost Satisfaction
Seeing how Zhang Hongxuan and his son were being backed into a corner, Lu Yahui proceeded to say with a proud expression," If you did not remind me about that, I would have forgotten about that matter. Third Brother, last time Zhang Tianhai plotted against us and tried to suppress our jewelry factory. This time, he worked with outsiders to sabotage Qimo. I also agree that we should submit the recording to the Board of Directors. The shareholders will have further discussions and ultimately decide Zhang Tianhai's fate in the company."
"He even dared to do such a thing?" Zhang Hongxuan turned around and scolded Zhang Tianhai, "You unfilial son, how dare you execute such treasonous acts behind my back? How dare you suppress your fifth uncle's jewelry factory? You really are blinded by your power!"
"You will also have to apologize to your fifth uncle regarding that incident! Do you hear me?! Be more sincere with your apology!"
Zhang Tian felt extremely wronged and sullen. He thought to himself, 'Weren't you the one who ordered the jewelry factories to suppress Zhang Xiufeng?'
"Vice Chairman Zhang, if you want to teach your son a lesson, please do so at your own house," Lin Yin said lightly. "Since it's already getting so late, I'll go downstairs and drive you home."
Zhang Hongxuan looked at Lin Yin with an ominous glare — even the veins on his neck were bulging.
This spineless coward really didn't have any other skills other than blabbling his mouth out.
That brat had ruined everything just as everything was about to be settled!
Zhang Hongxuan — unable to control his rage any longer — gritted his teeth and slapped Zhang Tianhai's face.
*Slap!*
As the pain seared through his face, Zhang Tianhai's revealed a reluctant expression.
"Dad, why did you slap me?" Zhang Tianhai asked. "Wasn't Lin Yin the one who pissed you off? Go and hit him instead!"
When Zhang Hongxuan heard those words, his face revealed a mix of shame and anger before sending another slap to Zhang Tianhai's face.
"Shut up! If you say another word, I will slap you to death!"
Zhang Tianhai — dumbfounded by his father's attitude — covered his swollen face in fear.
"Kneel!"
Zhang Hongxuan pointed at Zhang Tianhai and demanded in a deep voice.
Zhang Tianhai stood petrified in utter disbelief as he thought to himself, 'Why should I do that? What did I do to have to kneel before Zhang Qimo and her family?'
"I told you to kneel down now!" Zhang Hongxuan's face was livid with anger as he roared at Zhang Tianhai, "Do you hear me? Kneel down and apologize to your fifth uncle and fifth aunt!"
Zhang Tianhai gritted his teeth and refused to kneel.
*Thump!*
At that moment, Zhang Hongxuan stepped forward and kicked Zhang Tianhai several times. He then held onto his neck tightly and began forcefully pressed his head down.
"You useless brat! He is your fifth uncle... your blood kin! How dare you instigate others to hit your own elder! If your grandfather was still alive, he would have made you kneel and apologize!" Zhang Hongxuan shouted angrily. "You better kneel down and apologize to your fifth uncle! Stop making me lose face! Hurry up and do it!"
"I, I..." Zhang Tianhai could barely mutter even a single word as he suffered the great humiliation. At this point, he wanted to dive into a hole and hide himself for all eternity.
However, in the face of his father's cold gaze, Zhang Tianhai thought about the serious consequences he would have to go through if the recording were to be made public. Thus, he gritted his teeth and surrendered his knees.
*Plop!*
At that moment, Zhang Tianhai knelt down with a face full of humiliation. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhang Qimo and her family.
As he knelt down before Zhang Qimo and her family, he had the urge to kill himself right then and there.
"Have you gone mute? Do you not know how to speak?" Zhang Hongxuan said fiercely.
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Tianhai gnawed his bottom lips and said, "Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, it was all my fault. I am sorry."
Seeing this scene, the corner of Lin Yin's mouth curled up in satisfaction.
While Zhang Xiufeng and his wife rejoiced in victory, Zhang Qimo felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
This scene was far too satisfying!
Who knows how many times she had been ridiculed by Zhang Tianhai? Who knows how many times he had plotted against her family?
However, she never expected for this day to come.
"Forget it, forget it. Hurry and stand up. We are all from the Zhang Family. At this point, you're even making me feel embarrassed," Zhang Xiufeng said calmly, trying to smooth things over. He then stood up and tried to help Zhang Tianhai up.
"Fifth Brother, don't help him up. Let him kneel and reflect on his actions," Zhang Hongxuan said seriously. "Anyways, let's talk business."
Zhang Xiufeng and Lu Yahui looked at each other before shifted their gaze towards their daughter Zhang Qimo.
Zhang Qimo noticed their gazes and nodded in response.
Zhang Xiufeng coughed dryly.
He then said seriously, "Alright. Third Brother, don't make the child kneel any longer. At any rate, I watched Tianhai grow up ever since he was an infant. It's not like I would really send my own nephew to prison, right?"
Zhang Hongxuan relaxed his tense expression and replied, "That's right. I also think that we should just deal with this matter privately. After all, if news of this gets out, our family will certainly become a laughingstock."
"Fifth Brother, Sister-In-Law, could you hand over the recording evidence to me?" Zhang Hongxuan suggested. "You won't be using it as evidence anymore, right?"
Lu Yahui replied, "Third Brother, you know that Zhang Xiufeng and I are honest people. We would never take the initiative to cause trouble. I only hope that Third Brother will take good care of Tianhai in the future. Make sure you don't allow him to do such stupid things ever again."
After saying that, Lu Yahui handed the recording pen over to Zhang Hongxuan.
Zhang Hongxuan took the recording pen and let out a sigh of relief before helping Zhang Tianhai up.
"Fifth Brother, Sister-In-Law, you can stay rest assured. I promise that this will never happen again! I will always be keeping my eyes on Tianhai," Zhang Hongxuan said confidently. "In that case, I will bring Tianhai back first."
"Take care, Third Brother." Lu Yahui's eyes sparkled with a great sense of pride.
Zhang Hongxuan and his son walked out of the door dejectedly. The moment they stepped out the door, however, their faces turned ashen.
Today, they have suffered a great humiliation by showing their faces to Zhang Qimo and her family.
When have they ever suffered this kind of embarrassment?
After he walked out of Jiangchi Residence, Zhang Hongxuan fumed with rage as he immediately smashed the recording pen in his hand into pieces.
"Couldn't you at least work harder to cover your tracks? Why do I have to clean everything up every time you cause trouble? Do you know how much face I've lost because of you?" Zhang Hongxuan shouted coldly — his anger yet to dissipate.
"Dad... I...!" Zhang Tianhai stuttered in his words. Although he wanted to cry, his tears refused to form.
"From today onwards, you are not allowed to leave Seagull Manor!" Zhang Hongxuan said angrily. "You will only be allowed to leave after receiving permission from me!"
"Dad? Are we really going to let this matter go like this? Even Zhang Qimo's family dares to act arrogantly in front of us now!" Zhang Tianhai said with extreme unwillingness. "As for that trash, Lin Yin, I will never let him go unscathed after humiliating me like this today!"
"Let this matter go?"
Zhang Hongxuan finally succumbed to his wrath as breathed heavily. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot — looking as if it was about to crack.
Zhang Hongxuan stated fiercely, "Today's humiliation, I will make Fifth Brother and his family, as well as that good-for-nothing surnamed Lin, return it a hundred times over!"
"I've already asked your mother to go talk to the old master of the Zhou Family and think of a way to regain control of the group. When this matter is finally settled... when our family recovers our strength... I will do whatever I can to destroy Fifth Brother's family!" Zhang Hongxuan exclaimed with hatred.
Having drowned themselves in their pools of hatred, Zhang Hongxuan and his son stepped into the car and went back to Seagull Manor.
