1132 Given a Harsh Beating

Regardless of how foolish or unladylike Zhai Hua was, she was also a woman from the Zhai family and his elder sister who was born a year before him.

Zhai Hua could sense that the atmosphere was a little strange. Although she was normally at odds with Zhai Sheng, she gave Zhai Sheng a lot of face in front of outsiders. “Okay, I’ll go and take a look.”

Miao Jing was rubbing her forehead. “As I get older, I don’t have as much energy as before. I feel tired easily after a meal. Zhai Sheng, I will leave you to host Dongzi. I will go and take a nap. Nan Nan has said before that taking afternoon naps are good for health.”

Miao Jing could tell that her son wanted to have a good chat with Tian Dong.

It was just nice. Miao Jing was also thinking of ways to understand what kind of person Tian Dong was.

Both her son and daughter-in-law had a good sense of judgment in character. Earlier on, they had kicked out Wei De, this sc.u.m. Now, she would let her son a.s.sess properly whether Tian Dong was a potential candidate who was reliable and worthy of Zhai Hua.

After sorting out her thoughts, Miao Jing decisively delegated this task of ‘checking out the son-in-law’ to Zhai Sheng.

The women of the Zhai family left. Even the auntie who had followed the Zhai family to the capital was also holding a basket, expressing that she wished to go out for a walk and conveniently buy groceries for dinner.

Next, there was silence in the house of the Zhai family. Only Zhai Sheng and Tian Dong remained behind for a face-to-face confrontation.

At this moment, both Zhai Sheng and Tian Dong had become the most patient hunters. As the host, Zhai Sheng refused to speak. Tian Dong also maintained his silence. The two grown-up men were at a stalemate with each other without uttering a word.

After half an hour, Tian Dong sighed. At the same time, the arch of Zhai Sheng’s eyebrows moved.

Zhai Sheng could tell that Tian Dong’s patience had not run out. If the matter was not pertaining to Zhai Hua, given Tian Dong’s character, even if he had spoken, he might not even be willing to go straight to the main topic after chatting the whole day.

So as to speak, for Zhai Hua’s sake, Tian Dong broke the silence ahead and weakened his position?

“What? You have been living in America for such a long time. Don’t tell me your judgment and thinking have never been influenced by capitalism?” Zhai Sheng spoke coldly.

Tian Dong was not angry despite Zhai Sheng’s sarcasm. That was because he knew that the man who was speaking to him now was his future brother-in-law. He could not offend him. “You don’t need to test me. I came back specially to marry Zhai Hua.”

He only had one objective: Zhai Hua.

As for the Zhai family’s opinion of him, he could only say that the Zhai family’s status and position made them too sensitive. They were suffering from paranoia!

Zhai Sheng sneered. “Will you be able to marry just by talking? Let’s not talk about whether Zhai Hua is willing to marry you. If your relations.h.i.+p with Zhai Hua is successful, do you know what kind of choice you will have to make?”

There was a flash in Tian Dong’s eyes. “I know. After I came back this time, I don’t intend to leave.” This was where the Tian family came from. Naturally, they had to move back to China.

Upon hearing the Tian family’s decision, unfortunately, Zhai Sheng did not buy that. “It’s not strange to come back either. The country is progressing better than overseas now.”

Facing the nitpicking by Zhai Sheng, Tian Dong’s expression changed slightly but he still endured it. “I won’t leave the country again. You are in the capital now as well. If you let Zhai Hua marry me, you have nothing to worry about.” If Zhai Hua were to suffer any grievance at the Tian family, the Zhai family would definitely receive first-hand news at the slightest ruffle in the wind. They would then run to the Tian family to settle scores with him.

Furthermore, why would he let Zhai Hua down since he had decided to marry her?

Zhai Sheng was putting on airs now. He completely displayed the style of a ruffian soldier. He refused to admit that he had received a benefit. “I don’t believe that revenge is a dish best served cold. My usual style is to simply nip the bud of the fire as soon as I see a flame appearing.” Was it meaningful to go knocking on the door when one had already been bullied? Would the fact of Zhai Hua being bullied change?

Tian Dong’s eyes turned a little gloomy. The corners of his lips pursed. “If you’re really so capable, why did Wei De exist?”

Zhai Sheng smirked. “That is our family’s business. Wei De alone is not to be blamed for this. Zhai Hua is not smart enough.” Zhai Sheng was not willing to say that Zhai Hua was stupid in front of Tian Dong.

They were biological siblings. If he really said that Zhai Hua was stupid, then what was he considered as?

Zhai Sheng would not make this kind of low-grade mistake.

“Zhai Hua is considered smart. However, she lacked a little experience in this area.” The lady that he fancied had been mocked by others. Tian Dong was quite unhappy, although the person who mocked her was her only biological younger brother.

Zhai Sheng’s heart wavered slightly. However, his expression did not reveal this at all. “Yes, in this aspect, she not only lacked a little experience, but she was also completely inexperienced. No choice. As her younger brother, I have to worry more and help her a.s.sess more accurately. Tian Dong, do you think you can pa.s.s this test?”

“Why not?” Tian Dong questioned back.

He wished to marry the only lady in the Zhai family. Of course, Tian Dong was long prepared that the Zhai family would make things difficult for him.

He did not expect that Zhai Sheng, and not Old Master Zhai or Chief Zhai, would be the first one to make things difficult for him. He was Zhai Hua’s younger brother but they did not seem that close when they were children.

Although the person who made things difficult for him was different from whom he had thought, Tian Dong did not feel that he needed to change anything about himself. He would perform accordingly.

Zhai Sheng relaxed his brows and glanced sideways at Tian Dong. “I heard that Wei De had been given a beating. He is in quite dire straits?”

Zhai Sheng heard of Wei De chasing Zhai Hua to the capital.

When he was in Ping Cheng previously, it was not convenient for him to do anything overboard to Wei De for the sake of the Zhai family’s reputation.

Now, they were in the capital. No one knew who Wei De was. No matter how much he wanted to deal with Wei De, he was not as restricted as to when he was in Ping Cheng.

However, before Zhai Sheng could take any action, Wei De was already almost handicapped. When Zhai Sheng received this news, all the plans he had in mind fell through and turned useless.

There was only one explanation as to why Zhai Sheng would discuss this topic with Tian Dong. He suspected that the people who bashed Wei De up were related to Tian Dong.

“Whether he is really that miserable will depend on whether he continues to stay in the capital.” Tian Dong was not satisfied with this outcome at all.

If murder was not illegal, Tian Dong knew that he would not just get a few people to deal with Wei De. That would be too easy on him.

Since he could not kill anyone, Tian Dong could only think of ways to teach Wei De a lesson. He hoped that Wei De would leave the capital, this land of ‘trouble’, as soon as possible due to fear.

Without Zhai Hua by his side and the backing of the Zhai family’s reputation, Wei De’s company could not continue with its business at all.

Wei De spent a long time building his wealth. He then spent the shortest time reverting to his previous state of being penniless.

Wei De had been extremely generous to people in his hometown, especially after he became a boss and made it rich.
