The one who arrived was none other than Zhao Chengyi!
Zhao Chengyi approached Lin Chuxue and Chen Tang, making no effort to disguise his covetous gaze.
As he spoke, he even had the audacity to reach out and grab Lin Chuxue’s hand, ready to bring the back of her hand to his lips for a kiss!
Holy shit!
Chen Tang was instantly furious!
Was he truly disregarding Chen Tang?
Before, Zhao Chengyi harassed Lin Chuxue every other day, but since he hadn’t done anything too outrageous, Chen Tang tolerated it.
But today, in front of so many relatives, Zhao Chengyi dared to take advantage of Lin Chuxue?
Chen Tang couldn’t bear it!
He grabbed Lin Chuxue by the arm, yanking her wrist back.
With a backhand slap, he struck Zhao Chengyi hard across the face, “Damn, my wife is beautiful, what’s it to you?”
Smack!
The crisp slap sounded especially loud in the hall.
The grandmother, Lin Feng, the second uncle, the third uncle, and others were all dumbfounded.
Zhao Chengyi was even more stunned, holding his face, looking at Chen Tang in shock, “Damn?
A loser, you actually dare to hit me?
Shit, kissing your wife is your honor!”
As he spoke, Zhao Chengyi raised his hand to deliver a slap back.
But as soon as Zhao Chengyi’s arm twitched, Chen Tang grabbed his wrist, and with a surge of hidden strength, he snapped Zhao Chengyi’s wrist out of its socket with a crack.
“Ah!” Zhao Chengyi’s face turned ashen with pain, emitting a scream.
Since his wrist was still being held by Chen Tang, his body twisted skewedly, like a pretzel.
Acting arrogant in front of me?
Chen Tang had been enduring it before because the family edict hadn’t been lifted, not wanting to be too high-profile.
But now, Chen Tang decided he wouldn’t bear it anymore!
“Stop it, Chen Tang, what are you doing?” The grandmother stood up from her seat at the head of the table and scolded Chen Tang loudly, “Young Master Zhao came to wish me a happy birthday today, a guest in our home, and this is how you treat our guest?
Are you disregarding me, your grandmother?”
Was the grandmother trying to suppress Chen Tang with her elder status?
Of course not!
Was Chen Tang the type of person to be easily threatened?
Impossible!
Yet, for the sake of his grandfather and Lin Chuxue, Chen Tang released Zhao Chengyi, “Young Master Zhao, you better behave yourself!
Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
The moment he let go of Zhao Chengyi, Chen Tang’s hidden strength pulsed again, casually popping Zhao Chengyi’s arm back into place.
The pain made Zhao Chengyi shudder all over once more.
Lin Chuxue was sitting next to Chen Tang, turning to look at him tenderly.
This Chen Tang, so different from before!
The old Chen Tang was meek and subdued, rarely speaking up, but since yesterday, it seemed as if he became more manly, domineering, filled with a masculine aura.
That feeling made Lin Chuxue’s heart flutter somewhat.
Zhao Chengyi, after escaping from Chen Tang’s grasp, hurriedly sidestepped over to grandma and Lin Feng and the others, only to glare fiercely at Chen Tang and say, “You pathetic loser, don’t act so arrogant…
Let me tell you, coming to grandma’s birthday banquet today, it was the Lin Family who begged me to come, huh!
Later, I want to see you kneeling and begging me personally!”
Beg him?
Chen Tang was taken aback and before he could open his mouth, Lin Zhong quickly said, “Young Master Zhao, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry, we can talk this out!”
Zhao Chengyi moved his dislocated arm a bit and snorted coldly, “How are things going with your issue?”
As soon as Zhao Chengyi’s words fell, Lin Feng and Lin Zhong and the others immediately looked dejected, “Don’t mention it, Young Master Zhao, we miscalculated!
So, we will still need your cooperation in what follows!” Lin Feng explained somewhat dejectedly to Zhao Chengyi.
Of course, Lin Feng didn’t go into detail, merely stating that Chen Tang had threatened him with a vile method, making him unqualified to act as the president.
Zhao Chengyi gave Chen Tang a cold look and then said to grandma, “Grandma, why keep such a dumbass around?
If you ask me, they should get a divorce and let Chu Xue be my woman, I will definitely cherish her!”
Grandma smiled faintly, “Young Master Zhao, there’s no need to rush, we’ll take care of this matter step by step, slowly!”
The conversation paused, and grandma exchanged glances with Aunt Zhang Lan at the neighboring table; Aunt Zhang Lan promptly said, “Chu Xue, none of us have any objections to you continuing as the president, but there is one issue that I think must be made clear!
As far as I know, the company’s capital chain has already broken, right?
A gap of thirty million, if the funds aren’t raised in three days, the company will have to file for bankruptcy, how are you going to solve this issue?”
Lin Chuxue glanced at Chen Tang, the company’s financial issues had been solved by Chen Tang last night.
It was just that the news of the funds arriving was being kept quiet by Lin Chuxue.
“Aunt, uncle, second uncle…
don’t worry about the finances, I will handle it.
Since my cousin and all my uncles trust me so much, I will definitely manage the company to flourish!” Lin Chuxue wasn’t a pushover either, seizing this opportunity to push back firmly yet subtly.
Lin Feng and Lin Zhong and several others were so angry their faces turned red and their necks swelled, “Trust you?”
Trust my ass!
If Chen Tang hadn’t been holding something over Lin Feng, would they have caved?
Unable to speak up, the second uncle and Lin Feng quietly passed something to third uncle Lin Cheng, who slammed what was in his hand onto the table, “Chu Xue, you come up with a solution?
Hmph!
Is this your solution?
Going to drink with a bunch of old men, disgraceful, shameless!”
A stack of photos scattered across the table, and the photos were exactly of Lin Chuxue toasting the Boss Zhang and other men at the KTV.
The lecherous gazes of those few bald old men were clearly visible!
Seeing these photos, both Lin Chuxue and Chen Tang couldn’t help but have their expressions change!
“You’ve been following and investigating me?” Lin Chuxue said angrily, finally resting her gaze on Lin Feng.
The second uncle and third uncle were of an age that they shouldn’t have the leisure or daring to do such things.
The only one capable of such a thing should have been Lin Feng.
Lin Feng hid behind the second uncle, not uttering a word!
How could he dare speak with Chen Tang present?
“So what if we investigated you?
Remember, you are the eldest granddaughter of the Lin Family, you can be shameless, but we still want to save face!
Is this your way of raising funds?” The third uncle seemed to speak with a tone of earnest concern.
Young Master Zhao, who was sitting nearby, picked up the photos in disgust, kissed the photo, then smiled at Lin Chuxue, “Chu Xue, is it just investment you need?
You’d rather accompany those old men than me?
Hehe, tell me, how much do you need?
I’ll transfer it to you right away!”
As soon as Zhao Chengyi finished speaking, Lin Zhong immediately took over, “Really?
Young Master Zhao, you are truly noble!
Thirty million, the Lin Group only needs thirty million to get through this tough time!”
Zhao Chengyi nodded, took out a check from his pocket, scribbled a string of numbers, and then jiggled the check in his hand, “Chu Xue, the check is right here, thirty million!
I’ve already booked a room, the check is yours, what do you say, think it over?”
Zhao Chengyi looked extremely smug, completely oblivious to the fact that Chen Tang’s expression had darkened to the extreme.
“Zhao Chengyi!
Despicable, shameless!” Lin Chuxue rebuked furiously.
But Aunt Zhang Lan quickly came over, stopping Lin Chuxue and said, “Chu Xue, stop making a scene, that’s thirty million after all, just accompany Young Master Zhao, right?
If you ask me, you should agree, that way the company can overcome the crisis!”
