Chapter 447: The Start of the Birthday Banquet (1)

Duan Yarong's birthday had coincidentally fallen on a Sunday night. Although she was the madam of the Zhao family, there was an elder before her. Therefore, she only had to invite her friends, relatives, and people of higher authority and power in Shalnork to her birthday banquet.

However, this time, the Zhao family had not only sent out their invitations to the famous people in the business and political arenas in Shalnork and big shots who had a partners.h.i.+p with Zhao Enterprise, but they had also invited a number of smaller families who were involved in upper-cla.s.s society.

It was a grand birthday banquet that was not inferior to the former master's birthday banquet. Even though the banquet was outrageous, the former master of the Zhao family did not say anything about it at all.

Smart people would have noticed that such a banquet must have gotten the prior approval from the former master, and they could sense something unusual from the way the Zhao family had behaved from there.

However, a majority of the people were puzzled over the former master's decision. In fact, they were dissatisfied and angry with this.

"It's only a birthday party. Why did he have to make such a big scene?! Besides, we've just gotten down from the plane and now, we have to come over to join the party. The former master is getting more biased nowadays! Hmph!"

A luxurious sedan was moving slowly on the road under the darkening sky. The night light reflected the face of a woman who was sitting at the back seat, fully revealing her acerbic look.

Zhao Shunchang, who was sitting next to her, felt awkward upon hearing her words. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. However, when he was greeted by the sight of Sun Fengzi's angry look, he swallowed his words and kept quiet.

Sun Fengzi hated to see him behaving so cowardly. She crossed her arms and snorted, "What's wrong? Duan Yarong is a b*tch. Does that make you feel uncomfortable to hear this? Don't tell me you have laid an eye on that witch. I must say, even though the witch is old, her seduction skill has upgraded as she aged. However, with someone as successful as your older brother with her, she won't even bother to take a look at you. Stop fantasizing about her!"

Zhao Shunchang was stunned. When he returned to his senses and understood what Sun Fengzi had said to him, his expression looked troubled. "What What did you say just now? She is my sister-in-law, how can I I think you are rude to say that to my father. You disrespect him. As for being biased, my sister-in-law always helped my older brother to manage the affairs in the Zhao family as well as Zhao Enterprise. She should be given the credits at all times. It's her birthday today, and there's nothing wrong with my father and older brother holding a birthday banquet for her. Why did everything sound so... nasty to you?"

"Nasty?!" Sun Fengzi's expression darkened and scolded even harder, "Don't go around thinking that you are as n.o.ble as Duan Yarong! Do you dare say that you don't have any hidden desire for Duan Yarong?! Well, I know you didn't cross over any boundaries with her. But I believe that is all because you are not up to her standard! That witch has a good judgment when it comes to men. She is the type of typical b*tch who likes to seduce men but still wants to maintain her dignity. If you truly have no hidden desire for her, why are you being so hostile to me when I say bad things about her?!"

"You! No matter what, Yarong is still your elder. How can you How can you be like" Zhao Shunchang's face turned red. He wanted to defend himself yet he did not know how to.

Sun Fengzi had long known that her husband only had the looks, but not the brain. He dared not lay a finger on her nor was he eloquent in speech. He could not verbally win against her and therefore, her behavior only grew more outrageous.

"Elder? Is she even worthy to be my elder? Given the credits for all the effort that she put in for the Zhao family and Zhao Enterprise what?! In fact, it's just you being the useless one. If only you could achieve more success and be given priority by the former master like your older brother, you would have become the president of Zhao Enterprise now. Do you think that by then, Yifei and I have to be looked down on by others? Duan Yarong is capable, Zhao Youlin is capable and so am I! However, your father didn't give me an opportunity to prove myself. Did he ever allow me to interfere with anything in the Zhao family? He didn't because you are a loser. As a result, Yifei and I have been looked down upon by others. If only you have a tenth of your brother's spirit, Duan Yarong and that young b*itch's positions would have been mine and Yifei. They would have been ours!"

Sun Fengzi cussed like a shrew woman. Zhao Shunchang was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His face had turned red, and he pointed at Sun Fengzi as he said in a low voice, "You Don't go overboard."

Before this, he had gone over to seek Zhao Youlin's help. Zhao Shunchang had a good impression of Zhao Youlin's politeness. After all, she was his own niece. Upon hearing Sun Fengzi cussing Duan Yarong, the former master and even Zhao Youlin, a flame sprouted in Zhao Shunchang's heart.

"I've gone overboard? Which part on Earth have I gone overboard? I haven't even mentioned your useless parts! I "

"Enough!

An impatient voice had interrupted the two, causing them to keep quiet at the same time.

Zhao Yifei had not been saying even a word ever since he got into the car. His expression turned dark as he cast a glance at Sun Fengzi and Zhao Shunchang. He said in a low voice, "Have you guys had enough of it? If not, get out of my car now!"

"You seriously are" Zhao Shunchang was already in a fit of rage. However, when he heard his son's rude remark, his expression instantly turned dark.

Unfortunately, before he spat fire for real, Sun Fengzi had already blocked in front of him first and shot a glance at him. She lowered her voice and warned him, "Zhao Shunchang, are you planning to turn your back against us today?"

Zhao Shunchang's entire body shuddered. Sun Fengzi's years of strictness finally had been put into use. It had not been easy for Zhao Shunchang to summon up his courage that had been induced by his anger. However, at that moment, the balloon of courage was quickly deflated.

After Sun Fengzi finished settling Zhao Shunchang, she swiftly turned around and was on good terms with her son. She smiled apologetically, "Yifei, don't be mad. It's my fault. I shouldn't have fought with your father and caused you to be frustrated. Don't be angry, don't get so worked up. If you get yourself hurt, I'll be heartbroken."

However, Zhao Yifei did not bother with this at all. He looked up at Sun Fengzi as he sneered, "Look at me in my current state, I'm no different from a handicapped. How much more broken can I be?"

The smile on Sun Fengzi's face turned stiff. The next moment, she put on a long face and snorted, "You are my son. I dare the person who has the guts to say you are handicapped. Yifei"

As Sun Fengzi was speaking, she wanted to pull Zhao Yifei's hand. But, he evaded her. His eyes were filled with disdainfulness as he looked at Sun Fengzi.

A hint of embarra.s.sment unwittingly showed up on Sun Fengzi's expression. However, soon, she recovered her senses and said in a straight face, "Yifei, don't worry about it. I won't spare the two b*tches for what they have done to you. One day, I will make them pay the price. If we are not living a good life, neither should they!"

Zhao Yifei only gave them the side of his face. He did not say anything. However, he clenched his hands that were dangling by the sides of his body upon hearing Sun Fengzi's words. He leaned his face against the car window. A hideous look appeared under the reflection of the moonlight.
