Chapter 794: Chapter 793: I Won’t Stop You
"Then you..."
"You want to go, just go. I won’t stop you!" Liu Zheng interrupted Ye Yulan’s words.
"Xiaofei, if you don’t like to go, I won’t force you, but, at this kind of event, you must go!"
"All right then! Since you insist, I’ll just do it!" Liu Zheng sighed helplessly.
Although Liu Zheng really disliked those so-called high officials, he had no choice since he was now penniless. He would not survive if he didn’t attend, and Zhao Dahai was too despicable and shameless, trying to kidnap and extort.
"Then good, hurry up and change your clothes!"
"Okay!" Liu Zheng nodded.
Soon, Liu Zheng changed his clothes.
"Wow, Xiaofei, you look so handsome in this outfit!"
"I’m not that handsome!"
Ye Yulan’s comment immediately amused Liu Zheng, "Stop flattering me, I’m blushing!"
"Hehe, what are you blushing for?" Ye Yulan giggled and covered her mouth, "Xiaofei, I remember, you used to be more narcissistic than anyone! Don’t forget, when we were together, you always teased me!"
"Cough, that..." Liu Zheng laughed awkwardly and quickly changed the topic, "Well, let’s go! Let’s hurry!"
"Okay!"
After that, Ye Yulan and Liu Zheng left the house.
...
Just after Ye Yulan and Liu Zheng had left, a BMW X6 drove towards the villa.
"Honey, I’m back!" As soon as Zhao Dahai saw Zhao Yali, he ran up to her with a happy grin and affectionately wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Stop it, you’re so annoying!" Zhao Yali gently slapped Zhao Dahai’s shoulder, "How old are you to still act like this, aren’t you embarrassed?"
"Hehe..."
"Come on, let’s eat first! I made your favorite dishes!"
"You’re the best to me, wife!"
"Hmph!" Zhao Yali ignored Zhao Dahai and went straight to the dining table.
...
"What’s this, you brought another girl back?" Zhao Dahai frowned as soon as he saw Ye Yulan.
Zhao Yali’s face changed, "I... I and Xiaofei..."
"What about you and Xiaofei?" Zhao Dahai’s face grew even darker.
"Dad, it’s a misunderstanding!" Zhao Yali hurriedly said.
"A misunderstanding? I think it’s you, this little vixen, being together with that pretty boy, right?" Zhao Dahai’s gaze fell on Liu Zheng.
"You..." Zhao Yali was infuriated.
"Dad, watch your words!" Zhao Yali glared at Zhao Dahai and said.
"Ha ha... Pretty boy! I just insist on scolding, what I said is the truth, this guy is a swindler, full of cunning."
"Slap!"
Before Zhao Dahai could finish, Zhao Yali slapped him across the face.
Zhao Yali struck with great force, and Zhao Dahai was sent flying.
"Ah!"
"Bang!"
A loud noise as he hit the wall.
"How dare you hit me!" Zhao Dahai glared at Zhao Yali and yelled, "I’m your husband, your spouse, and you dare to hit me?"
"Do you even remember you’re my husband? Why don’t you go and confront Liu Zheng?" Zhao Yali pointed at Zhao Dahai.
"Liu Zheng? Hmph! What is he, to oppose me?"
"You asshole, you dare to insult my fiancé!"
"Insult? I insulted him? Do you know who he is? He is the young master of the Chen Family, one of The Four Great Families of Huaxia. Do you think a small businessman like me would dare to challenge a great family?"
"Hmph! Do you think I would believe that?" Zhao Yali snorted, "If it weren’t for you, why would Xiaofei be kicked out of the house? It’s all because of you!"
"What did you say? He dared to be kicked out of the house, how could that be?"
"How could it not be? He isn’t even a Zhao by surname!" Zhao Yali shouted.
"What? You’re saying Xiaofei isn’t a Zhao?" Zhao Dahai said in surprise.
"Hmph! He never belonged to the Zhao Family, so don’t expect him to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his clan!" Zhao Yali coldly snorted, "If it wasn’t for him, would the Zhao Family face a crisis? He is a menace!"
"He is a menace?" Zhao Dahai murmured to himself, "How could he possibly be a menace?"
"He doesn’t understand respect for his elders! He’s ignorant and untalented, just a waste! A useless waste!" Zhao Yali yelled angrily.
"Fine, I won’t argue about this anymore, just as long as you stop bothering me about him, I will stay out of his affairs!"
"No! I will never agree to your terms! Don’t even think about making me give up on Xiaofei!"
Zhao Dahai snorted coldly, "I’m your father, how can you interfere in my affairs? Hmph!"
"I just won’t!"
"You... You... Fine, since it’s like this, I’ll tell Grandma and let her decide!"
With that, Zhao Dahai was about to take out his phone.
"Dad, don’t talk nonsense!"
"Me, talking nonsense? Hmph! Just look at what the two of you are doing. A pretty boy, and you’ve gotten together with him!"
"I... I’m just friends with Xiaofei; nothing has happened between us!" Zhao Yali hurriedly explained.
"Hmph! I’m your father, you should obey what I say!"
"You... You’re too overbearing!"
"Hmph! Anyway, this damn kid will be mine sooner or later!"
"No! I absolutely will not allow you to do that!"
Zhao Dahai’s face darkened,
"Remember this! If you don’t want him to get hurt, you’d better obediently follow my plans, or else..."
"Or else what?" Zhao Yali sneered.
"Hmph!" Zhao Dahai’s face contorted, "Or else, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"You... What exactly do you want? Do you really have to kill me to be satisfied?"
"That’s right! You guessed right!"
"You’re simply a beast! I hate you! I hate you so much!"
"I’ll let you hate me for a lifetime! Hmph!" With that, Zhao Dahai stormed off.
"Yali, I’ll take you home first!" Liu Zheng said.
"Okay!" Zhao Yali nodded slightly, "Let’s go home!"
Liu Zheng drove Zhao Yali home.
...
Liu Zheng and Zhao Yali arrived at Zhao Yali’s home.
As they entered the living room, Zhao Dahai and Zhao’s mother were already sitting on the couch, seemingly waiting for their return.
Upon seeing her father, Zhao Dahai, Zhao’s mother immediately showed a hint of joy on her face: "Master, you’ve finally come back!"
"Mom, I’m sorry for worrying you!" Zhao Yali walked over.
"You child, really acting recklessly!" Zhao’s mother sighed, "Do you know what you’ve done today?"
"Mom, I’m sorry!"
"Do you know how worried I was for you? If you keep acting up, Xiaofei will have no chance at all!"
Hearing Zhao’s mother’s words, Liu Zheng and Zhao Yali were both stunned.
...
"Zhao Dahai, what exactly is going on?" Zhao’s mother asked.
Zhao Yali’s father, Zhao Dahai, turned to Zhao’s mother and said, "Mom, it’s all this unfilial daughter’s fault! She’s been fooling around with a man, and moreover... she’s even pregnant. We Zhao family have lost all our face!"
Zhao’s mother looked at Zhao Yali and demanded, "Yali, what exactly is going on?"
"Mom, I..." Zhao Yali looked toward Liu Zheng and said, "It’s all Xiaofei, he forced me! He threatened me to be his girlfriend!"
Zhao Yali’s mother, Liu Huiping, was startled, then her expression changed drastically: "What? You’ve been with a little thug? And you’re even pregnant?"
"Yes, it was him!"
"You... that’s absurd!" Liu Huiping shook her head and continued, "I knew it, your judgment is poor! You should never have gotten so close to this kind of person!"
"Mom!"
"Yali! You’ve really disappointed me!"
"How... how can you be like this!" Zhao Yali cried, her face anguished.
"Mom, didn’t you promise me, to let me pursue Xiaofei? Didn’t you say he would become the great son-in-law for our Zhao family? That our family’s future glory would depend on him!"
"I did promise you, but did you ever ask if he was willing?"
"He will definitely agree, don’t you remember? Who helped us out of the Zhao Corporation crisis in the first place!"
"You... Ah! I really don’t know what to say to you! Forget it! Don’t worry about this anymore! I will make it clear to him that you two are not suitable!"
Hearing Liu Huiping’s words, Zhao Yali’s face immediately turned pale: "Mom, do you really have the heart to let me stay single forever?"
"I understand your feelings! But how can our Zhao family accept such a man as our son-in-law?"
"But, I can’t let him be harmed!"
Zhao Yali’s heart filled with a mix of grievance, and sadness.
