Chapter 723 - Collusion (1)

Since Zhao Shunchang had already made up his mind, Zhao Youlin could say nothing more. She smiled and said, “Alright then. But if you really can’t hold on anymore, or if you have any worries that you can’t get over, you can tell us. After all, we are family.”

Zhao Shunchang was stunned for a moment. He knew that Zhao Youlin was reminding him that they were family. A family that truly had a blood relationship. No matter how much pain he was in, he still had them behind him to help him.

As for Zhao Yifei, not only did he not have a blood relationship with him, he might even stab him in the back. It was not worth his turmoil.

Zhao Shunchang finally could not help but laugh. He said in a low voice, “It’s getting late. I should go back to work.”

Zhao Youlin did not stop him. She nodded and said, “Okay. Since you have something to do, don’t let me stop you. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Zhao Shunchang nodded and left. Zhao Youlin walked forward to where Zhao Shunchang had been standing just now. She looked at the two people below and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. She stayed for a moment before turning around and leaving.

Zhao Youming watched Zhao Yifei from downstairs until he left his sight. When he was frowning unhappily, his phone suddenly rang, pulling back Zhao Youming’s thoughts.

Zhao Youming took out his phone. When he saw the comment on the screen, his eyes turned cold. He hesitated for a moment, but still picked it up.

“Hello.”

“What do you mean, hello? I’m your father. It’s only been a while. Have you forgotten what your father looks like?” A slightly arrogant voice came from the other end of the phone, with some disgruntlement and displeasure.

Zhao Youming smiled coldly and pretended to be surprised. “Oh, so it’s you, dad? What’s the matter? I’m sorry, I was in a meeting just now and didn’t notice that it was you who called.”

The person on the other end of the phone heard that Zhao Youming was in a meeting, so he slightly relaxed and said in a low voice, “So you’re in a meeting. Is the meeting over now?”

“I just finished. Dad, is there anything you need? I still have to go downstairs to receive the guests. I might not be able to talk to you for long.”

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Shuncheng was no longer angry when he heard Zhao Youming’s words. Instead, he was a little happy. “You still have to receive the guests? It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I just wanted to tell you that I ordered the chef at home to make your favorite dish today. Do you want to go home and have a casual dinner tonight? You see, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a meal together.”

Zhao Youming’s eyes flickered. He recalled that he had been looking for excuses to turn down these invitations over the past few days. If he were to decline again today, he was afraid that...

In order to prevent a certain person from jumping over the wall, he had to go back reluctantly.

“Is that so? Alright, I don’t have anything to do tonight. I can come home.”

Zhao Shuncheng was obviously very happy to hear that, so he asked for his confirmation a few times.

Zhao Youming was annoyed and couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush with him anymore, so he replied, “Dad, it’s almost time to meet the guests. I might have to hang up first.”

“Okay, okay, okay. Go ahead and do your work. Let’s go home and have dinner together tonight. Don’t forget.”

“... got it.”

After hanging up, Zhao Youming held his phone and his face darkened again.

Ever since he found out that Zhao Yifei had been kicked out of the Zhao family, Zhao Shuncheng had been calling him every day. Every time, he had basically said the same thing and asked him to have dinner with him.

Zhao Youming naturally knew the purpose of Zhao Shuncheng’s actions. It was only because his money had been a little tight recently that he remembered that he still had a son that he could squeeze.

Furthermore, now that Zhao Yifei had been kicked out of the Zhao family and the Zhao family, he was in high spirits. He believed that with one less competitor, he would be able to get a bigger share of the inheritance in the future. Therefore, he came back to curry favor with this son of his.

Of course, there was also a very big reason. The little lover that he raised outside was too much trouble. She had originally promised to give Zhao Shuncheng another son, but who knew that in the end, she would give birth to a daughter? He heard that Zhao Shuncheng was furious because of this and almost chased that woman out of the house.

At that time, Zhao Youming even deliberately went to take a look at that woman. Her originally beautiful makeup had lost its luster. While holding that child, she stood outside the door like an ignorant woman who had fallen into a trap set by life itself. She was a girl who was about the same age as his once brainless sister seemed to have aged over ten years overnight. It was really pitiful.

However, a pitiful person must have some detestable aspects. That woman was not a kind person. Her child should not have been born, but that woman was a fierce fighter. Step by step, she had avoided many pitfalls. In the end, she was still strong enough to give birth to the child.

It was a pity that people could outfight others, but in the end, they could not outfight life itself!

Zhao Youming still remembered the vicious eyes of that woman when she found him.

That idiot Zhao Shuncheng’s taste was really terrible. He had taken a fancy to such a cunning but vicious b*tch. He only deserved to be fooled again and again.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Youming tightened his grip on his phone once again. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He was faintly looking forward to meeting Zhao Shuncheng later that night.

On the other side of things, Zhao Yifei was actually not as calm as Zhao Youming had imagined. As soon as he walked out of the Zhao Corporation and slipped into his car in the parking lot, Zhao Yifei’s expression immediately darkened.

However, before he could fuming in his rage, a familiar phone call appeared in his field of vision once again, causing his anger to rise even higher.

“Hello, it’s me. Young Master Zhao, long time no see.”

Zhao Yifei sneered. We just spoke on the phone a few days ago, and you even hung up on me once. Why has it been so long?

“What’s the matter?”

The person on the other end of the phone giggled a few times. “Ah, still so impatient today. Why, have you recently experienced the pain of being the son of a murderer? Why are you so angry?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The son of a murderer... These few words accurately stabbed at Zhao Yifei’s most sore spot. Zhao Yifei’s expression suddenly became ferocious. He resisted the urge to directly throw the phone out and took a deep breath. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Yes, I’ve been in a very bad mood recently. My patience is also limited. If you have something to say, it’s better to say it quickly.”

“You’re quite angry.” The person on the other end of the phone snorted, but he also knew that he could not push Zhao Yifei too hard. He then sneered and went straight to the point. “Now that you’ve left the Zhao Group, are you planning to go straight back to the Sun Family?”

Zhao Yifei’s face sank slightly. “How is that possible? If I leave now, what’s the meaning of what we did before?”

How could he let go of all the humiliation he had suffered today? He must make those people pay him back tenfold and hundredfold, especially that bastard Zhao Youming!
