Lu Tong continued, “Chen Yu Zhou is not the master of remembering old feelings, is he?”
I looked at Chu Xiaoxiao, who knew Chen Yuzhou best.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked grave, pinching her fingers, very anxious: “He …… hey.”
The first thing I did was to walk out of the office, and I took Chu Xiaoxiao with me, and while walking, Lu Tong said, “Even if Chen Yuzhou is a kid who remembers his old feelings, that father of his is not. We now have another project with Ju En, which was originally Lin Fang’s responsibility, but Lin Fang resigned and they didn’t even ask.”
Lu Tong went into the meeting room first, and when I was about to push the door in, I thought about it and turned around and asked Chu Xiaoxiao to wait for a while.
I looked at Chu Xiaoxiao’s reddened eyes and asked, “Do you want to see Chen Yuzhou? If you don’t want to face him, you shouldn’t go in.”
Chu Xiaoxiao’s little face instantly became a little teary from aggression, and she deflated her mouth, like a child who had been robbed of her beloved toy.
Chu Xiaoxiao held my hand and nodded vigorously, “I’ll go in with you, I won’t be afraid if you’re there.”
I took her into my arms and felt Chu Xiaoxiao tremble a little, I said, “Cry, cry, I’m here.”
Lin Fang would never know that she had hurt the two people who loved her most in the world, even more than her family.
Only after Chu Xiaoxiao had wiped her tears and snot all over my shirt did she tell me to go inside with red eyes. I pinched her little face, so angry that Chu Xiaoxia stomped me and she was about to hit me again, I hurriedly turned around and slipped into the parlour.
“Zhang Chao ……”
Chen Ruhai was bouncing up from his seat and then picked up his stupid son who was sitting like a pig’s head, frozen in his chair.
“Xiaoxiao, you’re all here.” Chen Ruhai politely greeted Chu Xiaoxiao as well.
At the long parlour table, Lu Tong gave the main seat to me and sat beside me with Chu Xiaoxiao himself. Chen Ruhai looked at me, and then at Lu Tong. Lu Tong explained, “Our company is now a branch of the Junran Group. Mr. Zhang has already bought a large part of this company of ours.”
Chen Ruhai’s face instantly changed, “Really? This, is really good news.”
His mouth said good news, but his face didn’t look happy at all. Chu Xiaoxia and I both saw it, and we both exchanged glances before Chu Xiaoxia looked down and sent me a WeChat on her phone.
I pretended to be serious and took out my phone to see what she had sent me. I almost died laughing when I saw it, she had sent a message: Chen Ruhai is really good at pretending to be B.
I had a hard time holding back my smile and said seriously, “Mr. Chen, let’s not speak in secret, given your relationship with me, there is no need for us to meet at all, right? I think you must have come here today as a client of Lu Tong Advertising, but this matter counts as us breaking the contract, I won’t do this order of yours, so you can hire someone else.”
Chen Yu Zhou’s whole body was as good as dead, no reaction at all, but Chen Ru Hai grabbed me anxiously, not letting me go, and pressed me back onto the stool.
“Little Zhang, you misunderstand. I have come here today to seek peace and hope to reconcile with you. There was indeed some friction in the past, and my son, an animal, did not know any better and was unreasonable, and I have already beaten him up.”
Hearing this Chen Yu Zhou hung his head even lower, hiding it so that I wouldn’t see the two huge black and blue circles under his eyes, and the scar at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Ruhai shivered and said, “Zhang Chao, uncle calls you Xiao Zhang, even if it’s uncle, sell an old man. I am not here today to beg you to forgive this animal son of mine, he really is worse than a pig or a dog. I just hope that you, you can forgive me that I didn’t educate him well. I am no good either, and I have not educated myself well. I say sorry to you with all my heart and soul.”
Chen Ruhai was not like the old Chen Ruhai, and his eyes were filled with tears as they changed.
When his own father said this, Chen Yu Zhou felt ashamed of himself and looked up at his father, trying to stop him with his eyes. But when Chen Yuzhou looked up, he saw Chen Ruhai, who was in a state of confusion, raising his hand and wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes, not like a boss of a group of companies, but like a schoolboy who had done something wrong, he felt particularly uncomfortable and choked up and called out, “Dad!”
Chen Ruhai was in tears at this call, but ruthlessly pushed Chen Yu Zhou away: “Don’t call me dad! I don’t have a son like you. Zhang Chao and Chu Xiaoxiao are your cla*smates, look at them, and then look at yourself? Did Dad ever teach you that it’s okay to have small fights between cla*smates, why don’t you listen?”
“Dad, I ……”
Chen Ruhai trembling, a slap on Chen Yu Zhou’s face, Chen Yu Zhou not only did not dodge, but frankly accepted it, this slap is particularly loud, looks like the force is not light.
Chen Ruhai said, “I really hate to kill you, you beast!”
Lu Tong could not stand it any longer and spoke up to stop Chen Ruhai, or else the second slap would have gone up.
“Not so much Mr. Chen ……”
“Don’t call me Mr. Chen, I’m just a small company making a living. It’s not comparable to your Junran Group, so I’ll need your help in the future. But my unworthy son, hey ……”
Chen Yu Zhou covered his face with aggression and wanted to retort, but looking at Chen Ru Hai holding his head in pain, the words that came to his mouth changed words, “Dad, don’t be angry, your blood pressure should be high. My son is wrong, I apologise to Zhang Chao, and I apologise to Chu Xiaoxiao.”
He said and turned around, bowing to the two of us while crying and saying sorry all the time.
If it was a month ago, oh no, a day ago, who would have thought that this would be the chairman and young proprietor of the titular Giant Grace Group, who would be the two Tong City bullies who call themselves brothers and sisters with the Green Dragon Gang?
Now these two men, one like an impatient and incompetent old father, the other with his arrogance gone, had to bow down to me and admit their mistakes.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to do, looked at me and texted me asking me what to do.
I texted back, “What do you want to do, you used to have a good relationship with Chen Yu Zhou.”
I’m not sure what to do with it, but it’s up to you. The past is the past, but in the future, I will listen to you.”
What man doesn’t like to hear his woman say such things? Lu Tong, on the other hand, couldn’t stand it and wanted to speak up, but kept waiting for me to say something.
But I just didn’t say anything. I just kept watching Chen Yu Zhou bow, and he kept bowing and saying sorry as if he was wound up, and I just kept silent.
After about five minutes of this, Chen Yuzhou finally got tired and stopped, looking back at his father suspiciously, who gave him a wink.
