Chapter 451: Unexpected conflict (1)

The words he said, which sounded like words of concern, but were actually implicit threats. It was a warning to Zhao Yifei, but it was also to appease those businessmen around him, turning the reasoning to his side.

Zhao Yifei had been so spoiled by Sun Fengzi that he did not understand Zhao Youming's implicit warning. He snorted and became more disdainful. "You are an illegitimate son brought back by a shameful mistress, and you have the audacity to call yourself my relative. It seems that during the period my mother and I were gone, some people have forgotten about their places."

"Yifei, how could you say that?" Zhao Youming feigned a shocked and grief-stricken expression. He looked at Zhao Yifei incredulously. "No matter what, we are"

"Shut up. You are a wretched son of a wretched woman. You are not worthy of building connections or being familiar with me." After saying that, Zhao Yifei suddenly chuckled and said in a contemptuous manner, "By the way, I heard that your mother has pa.s.sed away. And she died in a dishonorable way. She knew that she had become too old and no man would fall for her charm, so she took a risk trying to kill people, but ended up losing her own life. It is a good thing that she was well aware that people would only look down on her if she stayed alive in this world, so she chose to die. But her children, who have her lowly blood running in their veins, won't be so lucky."

Zhao Youming's face became instantly white. And his body was trembling like he was going to fall down. It was really pitiful to watch.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yifei was not a benevolent person. When he saw him like this, not only did he not stop, but he further insulted him. "Zhao Youxi, that girl knew that there is no place for her now in the country, so she chose to go abroad. You, on the other hand, still so shamelessly try to make a place for yourself here."

Zhao Yifei said in a cold snort, "I heard that grandpa has arranged you a position as a department chief in Zhao Enterprise. I don't know what grandpa was thinking. Letting people like you stay in the company will only taint its reputation. Zhao Youming, I came here to tell you that don't be too complacent. Now that I am back, there is no place for you in the company anymore. You'd better be careful in the company from now on. Otherwise, I will make your life miserable, just like your sister and your mother, who was a murderer, or even worse than them."

After Zhao Yifei finished talking, he did not care what Zhao Youming's reaction was, as he had simply turned around and just walked away.

Zhao Youming looked at his distant back. His eyes flickered slightly. With a forced smile on his face, he apologized to the few businessmen who were talking to him. "I am sorry that you have to see that."

An awkward expression emerged on their faces. They waved their hands and said, "No, no, no. Don't say that, Young Master Zhao. We We just remembered that there was something we have to work on. We'd better get going."

Since someone had said that, others responded immediately as well. "Yes, yes, yes. We have something to do. We should get going now."

Before Zhao Youming could say anything, those people who were just enjoying talking to him just now had all run away in a huff.

They were really sympathized with what just happened to Zhao Youming, but sympathy was just a feeling, they could not make money with it.

The business circle was so cold and ruthless. In front of absolute interests, feelings like sympathy were not worth anything.

Offending the legitimate young master of the Zhao family, who had support from his family, for the sake of an illegitimate son of the Zhao family, they all knew that it was not worth it.

Zhao Youming's hand, which he had stretched out, just froze in mid-air. He withdrew it uneasily after a moment.

Looking at the backs of those men fleeing in haste, Zhao Youming suddenly felt some strong resentment.

They were both sons of the Zhao family, who had the same blood running in their veins. However, how could Zhao Yifei, that bullying, all brawn and no brains idiot, easily possess so many things that he had to spend a lot of effort to obtain?

That guy's intelligence, wisdom, cultivation and ability, none of it was better than him. But why could he be treated like a prince by everyone? No matter how reckless Zhao Yifei acted, there were always people who cleaned up his mess for him. He, on the contrary, even if he took each step carefully and did his best to please others, he could still get ignored.

Was it all just because he had a mother from a prestigious family? Was it all just because he was an illegitimate son of a disgraceful mistress? Was that why he must work ten or even twenty times harder than the people around him?

Zhao Youming's hands were hanging at his side, clenched tightly. His sharp nails almost pierced into his flesh. There had never been a moment when he hated his parentage as much as he did now.

If If he could exchange his ident.i.ty with Zhao Yifei or Zhao Youlin, he would have He would have

After messing with Zhao Youming, Zhao Yifei returned to the banquet hall. By this time, most of the guests had arrived at the banquet. People were coming and going. It was so lively.

Although after Zhao Youlin kicked him, he had not been able to But it still did not dispel Zhao Yifei's l.u.s.tful nature. From the moment he stepped into the hall, Zhao Yifei's eyes were glued to all the beautiful girls present. He was picking from this girl to another girl, looking for someone that suited his taste and someone he could get into his bed with him tonight.

Zhao Yifei's eyes scanned the hall before suddenly settling on one person. His eyes slightly lit up. He stroked his chin and smiled promiscuously. "I did not expect to find such a stunning woman at a banquet like this."

Zhao Yifei stared at the figure excitedly. His eyes blinked as if he had thought of something. Then, with a faint smile on his face, he walked toward the figure.

An Yue and Joy were standing in front of the wide dining table. Looking at those dazzling fruits and pastries on the table, she looked down and asked, "Is there anything you want to eat, Joy?"

Joy glanced sideways at the pastries on the table and stretched out his short finger to point at this and that. "Well, Sister An Yue... I mean, Aunt An Yue, I want to eat this, this, and this..."

Since that little incident they encountered when they attended the Su family's full moon party, Joy had become more careful when he had to eat at other people's parties. However, since this was his family's own party, he did not have to worry so much. He picked the snacks that he liked to eat, those that Zhao Youlin did not usually allow him to eat.

But An Yue did not know that. She listened to what Joy wanted and put those foods that Joy pointed at on his plate.

But just when An Yue was taking the one last pastry with a clip, another clip suddenly appeared on her side and took away the food that she was going to take to his plate.

An Yue was a little stunned. She looked up and saw a young man standing at her side with a smile on his face. He asked softly in what he thought was a magnetic and charming voice, "Excuse me, you also like this kind of cake?"
