1416 Successor
Now, Zhai Sheng won because he was a couple of years older and had the upper hand in his physical strength. A few years later, the day would come whereby Zhai Sheng would lose because he was a couple of years older!
After the exchange, they ‘made peace’ with a ‘friendly’ handshake and spurred each other on. The atmosphere was not too bad.
Throughout the entire process, Zhai Hua could not help laughing. When Zhai Sheng walked toward her, Zhai Hua threw him the towel in her hands and Zhai Sheng caught it. “Tell me. You made Peng Yu suffer so badly today. Given Peng Yu’s character, he will not call it quits like that. To help Deng Wenchang, he even arranged someone to keep a watch on us. Aren’t you afraid that Peng Yu will do something more extreme after you do this? Also, don’t forget. My son is still at your house.”
Besides considering the safety of her maternal family, she was more concerned about the safety of her son, Xiao Bao.
“Peng Yu is not so stupid. If he really does things in such a direct manner, it will be much easier to deal with him then.” However, Peng Yu had always carried out his plans in secrecy. Even for the matter this time, Peng Yu did it under the name of the Deng family. “Today, take it that I am teaching him a lesson for this matter.”
If this matter did not happen, Zhai Sheng would not be so harsh on Peng Yu.
Zhai Sheng was certain that his earlier blow would bruise Peng Yu’s back and a few parts of his b.u.t.tocks. Soon, Peng Yu would realize it after he removed his pants. The area of bruising was not small and it would be quite frightening to look at. It was still fine if Peng Yu could lie in bed to rest. Otherwise, these bruises would definitely affect his movements tomorrow.
If Peng Yu did not have the leisure time to rest in bed, he would have to find someone to rub and ma.s.sage these awkward areas hard with medicated ointment to dissolve the blood clots.
Regardless of the method, Peng Yu could not escape from the destiny of embarra.s.sment and huge pain and suffering.
Was it so easy to target his wife and family?
Peng Yu did it under the name of the Deng family and did not cause any specific harm to the Zhai family. However, did Peng Yu think that he would close one eye, not take issue with him, and pretend that this matter did not happen?
If that was really the case, he could only say that Peng Yu was sometimes too naïve, ludicrously so.
Zhai Hua patted Zhai Sheng’s shoulders. The siblings grew up together. Others might not know the temper of her younger brother, Zhai Sheng, but how could Zhai Hua not know?
Although today’s exchange was initiated by Peng Yu, in Zhai Hua’s views, Zhai Sheng must have used some means to plant the idea into Peng Yu’s mind. Hence, when Peng Yu said that he wanted to exchange blows with Zhai Sheng in front of everyone, he had already lost to Zhai Sheng.
As for the subsequent exchange of blows, Peng Yu had obviously cemented the loss. He lost more miserably and suffered even more.
Zhai Sheng had punished Peng Yu so greatly for a small incident of coveting. Zhai Sheng’s main objective was to make Peng Yu remember the pain and suffering and to think over the matter carefully before he plotted against the Zhai family. He was better off not fiddling around with such petty tricks. His Zhai family would not show mercy to Peng Yu in such situations.
Not to mention Peng Yu stretching out his claws, even if one strand of Peng Yu’s hair flew across the boundary and polluted the air in the Zhai family, Zhai Sheng would chop away that part of Peng Yu’s body with a knife on the spot!
Mmm… Very good, very good. Xiao Bao had such an uncle. She did not need to worry about others bullying Xiao Bao again in the future.
Speaking of this, Dongzi was quite good-tempered in front of her. However, to others, he was a tiger that could not be provoked. Today, Zhai Sheng had already taught Peng Yu a lesson. What action would Dongzi take after knowing this matter?
With the crowd at the doors of the Zhai family, more or less, Miao Jing was a little shocked. Miao Jing was not worried for herself but Qiao Nan had to go to work every day, and the triplets were still very little and loved to play. Miao Jing was more worried for the juniors in the family.
Miao Jing was the queen of the Zhai family. If Peng Yu dared to frighten the queen, of course, Zhai Sheng would not tolerate it and would teach Peng Yu a lesson.
After Zhai Sheng took actions, and Mother Tian almost recovered from her cold, Tian Dong expressed that he was, after all, his mother-in-law’s son-in-law. His mother-in-law had been ‘bullied’. If he did not do anything, Hua Hua would kick up a fuss and sleep in separate rooms after her return, wouldn’t she? One had to know that he was still a green card now. After having Xiao Bao, he still wanted to give birth to a little warm cotton jacket with Hua Hua.
Where would the warm little cotton jacket come from if they were to sleep in separate rooms?
As such, without the need for Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua to do anything, Tian Dong had long planned not to let the Peng family off. According to the country’s regulation, one would not dabble in politics if he was in business, and vice versa. The Peng family’s situation was similar to that of the Zhai family. Father Peng did not have any siblings who were in business to earn money and aid him in his political career.
Hence, under the country’s regulations, Father Peng would not be so stupid to do something so obvious. However, he had certainly done some under-the-table manipulating to acc.u.mulate wealth through unfair means.
As the big boss of the Tian Corporation, it was a piece of cake for Tian Dong to attack the Peng family through his business. Within one month, three consecutive business deals that the Peng family was involved in had been s.n.a.t.c.hed by Tian Dong.
Three might not seem like a large number but these three business deals, if successful, would bring a lot of wealth to the Peng family. Looking at the losses in July, Father Peng felt so many pinches that he lost his appet.i.te for two consecutive days. That night, blisters broke out in his mouth. It was so bad that he had to be sent to the hospital for consultation.
“Xiao Qiao, are you able to attend the overseas trip this time?” It was August. He Yi asked Qiao Nan if she wished to follow him for an overseas business trip.
“This…” Qiao Nan hesitated for a moment.
Qiao Nan would hesitate but not Deng Wenchang. “Minister He, do you think I can also follow you?” Overseas business trip should not be a minor matter. Last time, Qiao Nan was in the limelight. This time, it was unreasonable such a good opportunity was only offered to Qiao Nan.
He Yi ignored Deng Wenchang for the moment. He just smiled bitterly at Qiao Nan. “Xiao Qiao, I feel that I should remind you of the department you are working in now and your age. I think retirement mode is not suitable for you. Otherwise, someone will feel sad about this…”
Was He Yi trying to nurture Qiao Nan by bringing her overseas to widen her horizons?
Qiao Nan was guarding her triplets and not willing to leave. She only wanted to sit in the office. Was this not considered in retirement mode? Which motivated youngster whom the superior thought highly of stay in the office every day? None!
He Yi was full of expectations for Qiao Nan. He treated Qiao Nan like his successor.
