Chapter 305: Lets Test It
Old Master Zhai also knew that his grandson had been paying special attention to this meeting and was truly focused. Given this situation, no matter how tired Zhai Heng was, he would never sleep in to the point that he nearly missed the meeting. What’s more, Zhai Heng was neither sick nor tired, so how could he even end up sleeping in and that too on such an important day?
"You have to give me a good explanation regarding this matter or else I will be too worried to even sleep in my own house, who knows when I will be schemed against?" Zhai Heng pulled a long face that could match his aunt’s. "Aunt, I will not deny the fact that you have raised us siblings. I am very grateful for that but we all know when it comes to choosing between a son and nephew, you will naturally favour your son more."
"Yes, you took care of us but this is not something that I asked you to do. If my mother were willing to take care of us siblings, then naturally we wouldn’t have needed your help. If you have something to say about this matter, then naturally you should bring this matter up in front of my parents and not me. And all these years, my dad and big brother have helped uncle a lot. Why did they do it? It was all because you take care of us because our mother is muddleheaded."
"Fine, you are my father’s sister and it is only natural for him to help you but what about my brother? Will he help your husband because you are our aunt? No, my big brother is not someone who will let interpersonal relationships affect his actions. He only looked out for uncle all these years because we owe you the grace of raising us. If we talk about graces, then we have already repaid what we owed! Look at the Yun family now and look at what they were without my brother and father’s help. You will understand whether I am talking nonsense or not."
"Ah Heng." Old Master Zhai stopped his grandson from going too far. Even though Zhai Heng’s words sounded a bit crude, they were indeed correct. His daughter might love to bring up the fact that his daughter in law was too muddleheaded and foolish and left her three children behind while following her husband to the military. But the truth was that in exchange for a few years of hard work, Zhai Muchen and his son had given a lot of help to his daughter’s husband.
The Yun family of now could no longer be compared to what they were years ago. Without his son’s and grandson’s help this task would have been impossible.
"Grandpa, don’t rush to blame me for speaking too much. I am not a fool who is willing to ruin the family peace only for maligning Yun Tao. I have asked around; the servants all stated that it was Yun Tao who insisted that I had already left the mansion. Why him and no one else? What’s more, I even slept until I could not wake up without a maid pouring water on my face! If the steward had not managed to get another key and broke into my room, I would be done for today. You too would have been disappointed in me."
Zhai Heng sucked in a breath and continued, "One thing I can take as coincidence but so many things happened in just one day. How can that be possible? If you still insist that I have wronged Yun Tao, then I can only take this matter to my big brother. My parents might be willing to ignore everything for the sake of peace and the grace that aunt showed us when we were young. Don’t think that just because my parents are on your side, I have no one to protect me. My big brother is still here!"
Zhai Heng did not wish to act like a big brother sucker but who asked these people to dance on top of his head? This was too much!
Everyone sunk into silence. They did not dare to say anything at that very moment.
There could be a possibility that these things were all coincidences but there was no evidence! Zhai Heng was correct. Why was it that Yun Tao, whose eyesight was really good, ended up mistaking someone else for him and why did Zhai Heng end up sleeping like a log on the very same day? It was like everything was against him. But where was the evidence that could prove that Zhai Heng was just being paranoid?
"Grandpa, Mom, it was all my fault. Brother Heng, can you accept my apology? What do you want me to do? I will do it as you tell me to; just forgive me. Let’s not fight any further and intensify this quarrel anymore." Yun Tao gritted his teeth. He felt a surge of hatred toward Han Ruochen. This woman was really too nosy. Because of her, all of his plans fell through.
Neither did Zhai Heng turn into a cripple nor did he miss the meeting as Yun Tao hoped. He had taken a look at the presentation documents that Zhai Heng had prepared for the clients; naturally, he had done a good job. If nothing went wrong, then this deal would surely fall in his lap. He went through all the song and dance just to make this man miss the meeting but who would have thought he would still be rescued by Han Ruochen!
If not for the fact that this girl was protected by Zhai Muchen, he would have dealt with her personally. He did not even fear dealing with Zhai Heng; why would he hold back when it came to Han Ruochen? It was all because he knew that Zhai Muchen treated this woman differently. Damn it, damn it all. What was wrong with Zhai Muchen? He did not want the young heiress from the Shen family but was determined to get close to this stinky fisherwoman. His brain must have been damaged!
