Chapter 717 An Awkward Situation (1)
THe onlookers could not bear to see him like this. It would be a lie to say that a man would not break down in such a situation.
The former master also felt a little heartache when he saw this, but he also understood that it was better for it to be short-term pain rather than long-term pain. Zhao Shunchang would only be in more pain if this dragged on, so he gritted his teeth. He took the initiative to mention Zhao yifei, “Now… how do you plan to deal with Yifei?”
In fact, the former master had stopped Zhao Shunrong from interfering in Zhao Shunchang and Sun Fengzi’s matters just now because he wanted to see if his son could still be saved. Knowing that Sun Fengzi had betrayed him, would he still… grow soft and take her side?
Reality proved that his son was not so hopeless. At least, in the face of a man’s most intolerable infidelity and his wife’s persecution of his family, Zhao Shunchang showed his rare side as a man.
Now, Zhao Yifei’s fate had to be left to Zhao Shunchang, his father. No one could help him.
Zhao Shunchang’s expression changed when he heard Zhao Shunchang’s words. He stammered, “Dad, this… this… I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“You better do. Don’t tell me you plan to continue dragging it out and raise him?”
Zhao Shunchang lowered his head and bit his lips, not saying a word.
Zhao Shunrong and the others looked at him. They helped to persuade the former master, “Dad, any man would be at a loss in such a situation. You should give him more time to think about it. Don’t push him too hard.”
The former master’s face darkened. He looked at his third son and sighed helplessly. He said earnestly, “Shunchang, think carefully. You’ve already raised that boy for more than twenty years for no reason. There’s no need to continue being a sucker.”
Zhao Shunchang lowered his head, but he still heard the former master’s words. The former master’s hand that was hanging by his side suddenly tightened, leaving wrinkles on his neat suit pants.
After Zhao Yifei walked out, he began to feel uneasy. To be more precise, when he saw the paternity test, he was already uneasy.
Having lived as the young master of the Zhao family for so many years, he had long been used to being well-dressed and well-fed. Everyone went after him, but now they were telling him that he was merely the bastard child of a mother and a disgusting man without power and influence. The halo of the young master of the Zhao family was about to leave him. His mother’s dark past had also caught up to her. She would probably be put away for a long time, and when that time came, everyone would be pointing fingers at him.
Those who he had looked down on previously and those who were upset could all step on his head instead. He could not accept this!
While he was preoccupied with his thoughts, Zhao Yifei’s phone suddenly rang. Zhao Yifei impatiently pulled out the phone. When he saw the caller ID on the phone, his face could not help but darken.
He wanted to cut off the call, but he was a little hesitant. After a long pause, he finally picked up the phone. However, his tone was quite clearly annoyed. “Hello, what’s the matter?”
VON
Aas
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, as if he was shocked by Zhao Yifei’s attitude, after a moment, he chuckled softly. “Yo, you’re quite angry. Who made our Young Master Zhao angry? Let me guess, Zhao Youming? Or Zhao Youlin, or your dumb-as-a-pig mom?” It would have been better if that person had not mentioned the name Young Master Zhao. When he mentioned it, Zhao Yifei’s face darkened, especially when he heard the other party mention that his dumb-as-a-pig mom.
His mother was indeed as dumb as a pig. Otherwise, she would not have caused so many problems. Now, she had even dragged him into such an awkward situation. Even so, he did not need to hear it from others.
If his mother was as dumb as a pig, then how smart could her son be?! This sentence was an insult to him.
Zhao Yifei resisted the urge to hang up the phone. He sneered and hissed through gritted teeth, “If you have anything to say, just say it. I’m very busy. I don’t have time to talk to
you.”
“Oh, you’re very busy. Forget it then. Sorry to bother you.” The person on the other end of the phone hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.
Zhao Yifei listened to the busy tone on the phone and almost blew up. He crushed the phone until it broke to bits.
While taking deep breaths, Zhao Yifei suppressed the unhappiness in his heart. After thinking for a while, he took out another phone and dialed back. Zhao Yifei originally thought that since he had taken the initiative to lower himself, that person would definitely give him face. He would pick up the phone very soon.
However, he did not expect the other party to actually… reject his call!
Zhao Yifei listened to the busy tone from the phone in a daze. He gritted his teeth and finally could not hold it in anymore. He threw the phone in his hand onto the ground.
It smashed onto the hard and rough ground of the parking lot and broke into pieces in an instant.
Zhao Yifei held the steering wheel tightly with both hands. The veins on the back of his hands bulged. His eyes were cold as he looked at the broken phones on the ground. Blood was everywhere.
After Zhao Yifei returned home, he did not pay any attention to the greetings of the housekeeper and the servants. He went straight to the second floor and locked himself in his room. He never came out.
The housekeeper and the servants had long gotten used to him and Sun Fengzi’s arrogance. They looked at each other and then went on their own. After all, they were not the ones who were hungry.
As for the matter of Zhao Shunchang and his family being called to the main residence in a hurry and why only Zhao Yifei came back alone, while Zhao Shunchang and Sun Fengzi had disappeared without a trace. The housekeeper and the servants expressed that… it was better not to ask too many questions about things that should not be known. Otherwise, it would be easy to get burned, so they were not curious in the slightest!
Zhao Yifei was holed up in his room, thinking about countermeasures. However, even if he racked his brains, he still could not think of a good solution. As for Zhao Shunchang… he had already returned.
When Zhao Yifei heard the commotion downstairs, his entire body trembled. He widened his eyes and looked at the bedroom door with some panic.
Zhao Shunchang’s question came from outside the door very quickly, “Where’s the young master?”
Zhao Yifei’s body stiffened. Then, he heard the butler reply with a straight face, “The young master has been staying in his own room ever since he came back. He hasn’t come out until now, and he doesn’t allow us to disturb him privately.”
There was a moment of silence outside the door. Then, he heard Zhao Shunchang sigh faintly. He said to the butler in a low voice, “You go down first. I’ll go check on him. Don’t let anyone go near his room.”
The Butler replied perfunctorily and left. Zhao Shunchang’s footsteps became clearer and clearer. Zhao Yifei’s mind went blank for a few seconds. After hearing the sound of the door being unlocked, he suddenly reacted. He didn’t have time to think. He turned around and pounced on his own bed.
