1120: Chapter 1116: I, Personally, Forgive You!
Outside the hall, a group of people surged in, escorting a middle-aged man and an elderly figure.
The middle-aged man carried himself with an imposing aura, clearly accustod to a lofty position of power, his deanor so authoritative that anger was unnecessary to instill respect.
At this mont, however, he was carefully accompanying the elderly man by his side, daring not to show an ounce of disrespect on his face.
The elder’s expression was as still as water, his strides firm and powerful, his presence even more commanding than that of the middle-aged man.
Many pairs of eyes narrowed suddenly, and the atmosphere turned tense.
The newcors were none other than the Zhang Family’s helmsman, Zhang Tianyu!
And the elderly figure was the Ancestor of the Zhang Family—Zhang Xi!
Instantly, the hall fell silent as a mausoleum.
All the guests present stood up straight, their faces showing reverence, and they parted to the left and right, clearing space and revealing Bai Xiaosheng and the others.
“Ancestor Zhang!”
“Mr.
Zhang!”
As Zhang Xi and Zhang Tianyu proceeded forward, everyone bowed slightly, greeting them in a soft voice.
The two n nodded slightly, their faces wearing a polite smile.
However, as they looked forward, it was clear that their smiles contained a hint of displeasure.
Taking into account the earlier scene, many people’s gazes beca aningful, their eyes secretly shifting to Qian Haoyu.
And Qian Haoyu was dumbfounded.
Just monts ago, he had been so imposing, his shouts thunderous.
There wasn’t a single person present who hadn’t heard him.
His words were still ringing in their ears, the sound not yet settled—
“How did the Qian Family help you Zhang Family back then, have you all forgotten!”
“In such an ungrateful place, what rules are there to speak of!”
“Even if the old master of the Zhang Family himself cos, don’t expect to apologize to them!”
To say such words in the Zhang Family’s territory was not only arrogant but also audacious!
But while his previous words were grand, the Ancestor of the Zhang Family had now arrived.
Those words had suddenly turned into thunder.
If not careful, they might explode and completely obliterate him.
Looking at the elderly Mr.
Zhang Xi and how Zhang Tianyu regarded him with an indifferent, emotionless gaze, Qian Haoyu wished he could slap himself.
Why do I have such an uncontrollable mouth!
Qian Haoyu was panicking inside.
What to do now!
What, to, do!
…
Zhang Xi and Zhang Tianyu stood not far in front, their aura making Qian Haoyu feel his legs turning to jelly.
He strained his face several tis before managing to force a very reluctant smile.
Huo Yung also didn’t dare to be rash any longer, yet still appeared pitiful and tearful as she looked up at the two elders, bowing her head submissively, “Grandfather Zhang, Uncle Zhang!”
The two n nodded slightly in response.
Zhang Yunyao’s deanor was respectful as she bowed from afar.
Jia Dazhuang sidled up to Bai Xiaosheng, pulling at him and whispering in a low voice, “Brother Bai, that middle-aged man is the helmsman of the Zhang Family, the Chairman of the Zhang Family Group, Mr.
Zhang Tianyu.
The elderly gentleman beside him is the Ancestor of the Zhang Family, Mr.
Zhang Xi.
We younger folks dare not make a fuss in front of these two!”
“Now, with Qian Haoyu attracting the firepower, we just need to stay put and not fan the flas.
You don’t need to take the initiative to plead your grievances either.”
“Just answer whatever they ask us, that’s it…”
Although Bai Xiaosheng seed to have a close relationship with Zhang Yudong and the mysterious guest Mo Xin, Jia felt that in front of these two great figures of the Zhang Family, Bai might not amount to much.
Jia Dazhuang was afraid Bai Xiaosheng would speak up, demanding a so-called “justice,” forcing the Ancestor of the Zhang Family to lose face, and that they might win a aningless moral victory but end up suffering a real loss.
In Jia’s view, even though Mr.
Zhang’s initial words upon arrival sounded stern, the relationship between the Zhang and Qian families was not ordinary.
The Qian Family was a benefactor and a partner of the Zhang Family, and with Mr.
Zhang being so revered and maintaining his dignity, how could he genuinely be angry with a junior.
Compared to them, Bai Xiaosheng was still an “outsider.”
With both venerable figures from the Zhang Family present, everyone around was silent, and Jia Dazhuang felt it necessary to offer a kind reminder.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled at him, developing an even better impression of the man.
eting is fate; perhaps he could bestow a favor upon old Jia.
Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
anwhile, Qian Haoyu had already approached with a smile.
Only, his smile was uglier than tears.
“Grandfather Zhang, Uncle Zhang, what brings you here.
Ah, if only soone had inford us younger ones ahead of ti, these servants are truly infuriating!”
Qian Haoyu wasn’t stupid; with what seed like a complaint, he was subtly reminding the two that he was just a junior.
As a junior, a slip of the tongue, an impetuous outburst, surely the elders wouldn’t take it seriously.
“Qian Family’s youngster, for a junior, you sure can make yourself heard,” Zhang Xi’s smile was icy cold, making Qian Haoyu shiver, “loud enough to command us around in our own Zhang Family ho, accusing this old man of being ungrateful.
I think you’re the elder here!”
These were grave words!
“That’s just the words of a youngster in the heat of the mont, a slip of the tongue!” Qian Haoyu imdiately explained with an apologetic smile, “We were just fooling around here, got a little out of hand!”
“Fooling around!” Zhang Tianyu repeated these words with a neutral face.
“That’s right, Uncle Zhang, just ssing around!” Qian Haoyu’s eyes darted before he pointed at Bai Xiaosheng, “It’s all because of this guy over there, he was too much, even making Yung humiliate herself publicly.”
“You see, isn’t it only right for to stand up for our own people!
Except, in doing so, I got myself involved.
Initially, it was none of my business!”
“That person insisted on making eat my words!
How could I agree to that?
After all, I am the Qian Family’s successor, and in front of our Zhang Family, it would reflect badly on you too if I lost face!”
Qian Haoyu was indeed adept at sophistry.
Jia Dazhuang curled his lip, secretly saying to Bai Xiaosheng, “Let him talk, pay no attention, we must endure…”
Before Jia Dazhuang could finish, Bai Xiaosheng had already spoken up, his words targeting Qian Haoyu directly.
“Since you acknowledge yourself as the Qian Family’s future successor, you should at the very least have the minimum responsibility!
You’ve made your bet, now honor it!
Now, apologize to my assistant!” Bai Xiaosheng called out, and then pointed to Huo Yung, “And you too!”
