Chapter 143 - Slapped for nothing
Master Zhan was aware of what had happened just a few days back. Ah Chuan had suddenly gotten out of bed and held a video conference with most of the senior executives from Zhongbo Entertainment.
That was his first official appearance ever since he became a quadriplegic. He was overwhelmed with happiness when he heard about it, which was why he knew everything that had happened between Zhan Yihe and Jing Qian.
Because she didn’t deal with Jing Qian’s matter appropriately, Zhan Yihe’s position as Artist Director had been taken away, which meant that her income would be tremendously reduced. This was the reason why Zhan Yihe was acting this way towards Jing Qian purely because of her hatred towards her.
The pills were something that Jing Qian had gotten for Ah Chuan. Even if they were useless, she still didn’t have the right to just throw them away.
Plus, Jing Qian was the granddaughter-in-law that he had handpicked. Was Zhan Yihe trying to show him who’s boss?
Master Zhan once again spoke in a stern tone, “Yihe, Qianqian has already accepted your apology. Don’t take it to heart. Just remember not to take anything belonging to Qianqian, especially if it’s for Ah Chuan.”
This was not the answer that Zhan Renmian and Zhan Junqi were waiting for.
Zhan Yihe was even more speechless. Why was she being treated this way?!
Seeing that Master Zhan was being extremely biased, Zhan Shuyu immediately intervened to help smoothen out the situation.
“Well, we’re a family and there will definitely be times when we will argue, but what is more important here is that we move on from it. Qianqian may be a bit more straightforward with her opinion, but she’s extremely kind-hearted. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Did this mean that she got slapped for nothing?
Zhan Yihe stared at Zhan Shuyu, dumbfounded, but the other party replied to her with a look that said, ‘You should have known better.’
Zhan Yihe had always been someone that would flatter her superiors while trampling everyone below her. The one thing that she loved doing was threatening others with morale. Since she was also considered a Young Miss of the Zhan family, everyone would give in to her. Now that her attempt had failed and she even got a slap in the face…
Zhan Yihe tried swallowing her anger, but she realized that it was impossible for her to do so.
Even if she couldn’t slap Jing Qian on the face, she still wanted to show Jing Qian who’s boss. She couldn’t allow this woman to think that Zhan Yihe was someone that she could trample on.
Zhan Lichuan had already given her a ‘slap’ on the face because of this woman, and now, even her granduncle and Zhan Shuyu were helping this woman as well.
If she didn’t teach this woman a lesson, she might think that Zhan Yihe was someone whom she could easily bully.
Just when Zhan Lihe was about to show Jing Qian who’s boss, Butler Xu, who had been standing outside the entire time, suddenly walked into the room and announced, “Master, Professor Qing will be here in five minutes.”
“That’s great!”
A genuine smile appeared on Master Zhan’s face as he quickly walked towards the door.
At the same time, Zhan Shuyu walked towards Master Zhan and held onto his arms.
Then, she looked at Jing Qian, giving her a hint. After receiving the message, she walked over and did the same thing as Zhan Shuyu.
Zhan Yihe, who was left behind, turned a spectrum of colors, her face turning from white to red. The hatred that was building in her heart was growing to the point where it was becoming unbearable.
Zhan Junqi patted his daughter’s shoulder, and when everyone else had left the room, he said, “Jing Qian may have come from a normal family, but she isn’t someone you should mess with. It’s obvious that your granduncle has taken her side. Just play nice with her in the future and don’t make it so obvious when you’re trying to get her into trouble.”
“But she was the one who slapped me! She slapped me!”
Zhan Junqi did not know how to respond to her exclamation. This was something that he couldn’t accept as well.
Since this was a matter that could have been resolved with an apology, this woman didn’t have respect for those who came from the second Zhan family.
“She is only doing this because she knows that we are relying on your granduncle and there’s nothing that we can do to her.”
