Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"
Chapter 107 Running away from home
"He really said that?"
Zhao Pengfei asked hurriedly.
The butler nodded, and Zhao Pengfei glanced at Zhao Yazhi subconsciously.
Zhao Yazhi snorted coldly, "Making a big deal out of nothing, let him in."
Zhao Pengfei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly told the butler to go out and invite Xu Tian in.
By the time Xu Tian arrived, the atmosphere had already returned to normal.
Xu Tian glanced at Zhao Jing with concern, and Zhao Jing gave a bitter smile.
When he saw the handprint on Zhao Jing's face, his heart skipped a beat. Had Zhao Pengfei hit her?
Thinking of this, Xu Tian felt a surge of anger rising in his heart for no reason. If he hadn't come today, who knows how badly Zhao Jing would have been bullied.
"I wonder what Mr. Chu wanted to talk to me about?" Zhao Pengfei asked with a smile.
Xu Tian said without changing his expression, "It's about President Chu's birthday banquet next month."
Zhao Pengfei nodded, "Jing'er told me to tell President Chu to rest assured that our family will handle this matter properly."
As he spoke, Zhao Pengfei looked at Xu Tian suspiciously, "You came all this way today just for this?"
Zhao Yazhi watched coldly from the side, a disdainful smile playing on her lips.
"I thought it was something important, but it turns out you're just here to deliver a message. You really think you're something special just because you've received a little favor from President Chu? Standing in this prestigious household, aren't you afraid of ruining your good fortune?"
Xu Tian frowned. As soon as he entered the door, he noticed a stranger in the living room. Judging from the way she spoke, she was probably the one who instigated and bullied Zhao Jing.
"And who is this?" Xu Tian asked without changing his expression.
Zhao Pengfei awkwardly introduced himself to Xu Tian, who smiled and nodded.
Zhao Yazhi raised her eyebrows high. Despite her unremarkable appearance, she had the audacity to help Zhao Jing bully her grandson. If she weren't there, it wouldn't matter, but since she had run into them today, she was determined to teach them a lesson together.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yazhi sneered, "I heard that you and she are partners, working on projects together?"
Xu Tian smiled calmly, his eyes sharp. "Mrs. Zhao is right. We do have a collaboration, and as far as I know, the Zhao Group attaches great importance to this project."
As he spoke, Xu Tian glanced at Zhao Pengfei without making a sound.
Zhao Pengfei quickly said, "Xu Tian is young and promising. He secured the project that everyone has been dreaming of right away. I feel at ease knowing that Jing'er is cooperating with you."
Zhao Yazhi scoffed, "If she can do this project, why can't Leilei?"
He then added, “What’s the point of a girl running around to construction sites all day and hanging out with shady men? This has always been a man’s job. I think we should let Leilei take over this project.”
Xu Tian's gaze was sharp. "I've always heard that the Zhao Group keeps up with the times and keeps up with the development of the era, but now it doesn't seem to be the case."
"President Chu is a woman. According to you, President Chu deserves to die?"
"That's not what I meant!"
Zhao Yazhi became anxious, "Don't try to change the subject, and don't keep using President Chu to pressure us. It's like the Xu Group belongs to you."
Zhao Pengfei knew that Zhao Yazhi's expression was inappropriate, and Xu Tian was on good terms with Chu Lan, so he was somewhat worried at this moment.
"Mom, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while?"
Zhao Yazhi sneered, "You think I'm in your way, huh?"
"Look at what you're saying," Zhao Pengfei said, somewhat helplessly.
Zhao Yazhi continued, "I don't care who you collaborate with or how big the project is, you have to prioritize Leilei's needs in everything!"
"Then let him earn it through his own abilities!"
Xu Tian said firmly, "The project contract was signed by me and Zhao Jing. If you want to change people, go to the government!"
"I'm here today to discuss President Chu's birthday banquet!"
Before Xu Tian could finish speaking, Zhao Yazhi continued,
"You don't need to say anything about the birthday party; we've already handed it over to Leilei to handle."
Xu Tian sneered, "That won't do."
"Why not?" Zhao Yazhi sat up.
Xu Tian then said, "President Chu said that out of respect for Zhao Jing, the birthday banquet will be held at Huaxiang, but Zhao Jing must be in charge of organizing it, otherwise she will find another place!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Pengfei became anxious. He had tried everything to curry favor with Chu Lan before, but to no avail. Now that such a good opportunity was right in front of him, he absolutely could not let it slip away!
"Alright, alright, since President Chu values Jing'er so much, then let Jing'er handle it."
Zhao Yazhi was displeased and was about to speak when the child interrupted her again.
"No one can change my mind once I've made up my mind!"
As he spoke, Zhao Pengfei glanced at Zhao Yazhi. Zhao Yazhi knew he was serious this time, so she pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Zhao Pengfei then said, "Jing'er is also a girl, so she must understand girls' preferences better than Leilei. It would be most suitable to entrust this matter to Jing'er."
Zhao Lei's face immediately fell upon hearing this. He had finally gotten a chance to shine, but Xu Tian had ruined it with just a few words. It seemed that Xu Tian was deliberately going against him.
With Zhao Yazhi present, Zhao Lei mocked, "Xu Tian, you really have deep feelings for Zhao Jing. You've only been divorced for a short time and you're already in a hurry to find someone else?"
Xu Tian laughed instead of getting angry, "Likewise, don't you also like what I left over? By the way, Zhang Qian is getting engaged, you know that, right?"
Zhao Lei scoffed, "What does her engagement have to do with me? I wouldn't even look at a divorced woman!"
"How can a divorced woman be worthy of our Leilei?"
Zhao Yazhi then looked at Zhao Pengfei and said, "Is this the good daughter you raised? Not only is she always flirting with other women outside, but she also found a divorced man. If word gets out, our Zhao family will be laughed at to death!"
"You're the kind of man who acts like a dog relying on its master's power. Don't think you can do anything just because you have a good relationship with Chu Lan. You're not the one who's truly capable, and you're not the one who controls the Xu Group!" Zhao Lei sneered.
Zhao Jing couldn't stand it anymore. "That's enough. Xu Tian's actions are none of your business."
Zhao Yazhi said with a fierce look, "You unruly brat, anyone would think you've hooked up with some powerful person. You can afford to lose face, but our Zhao family can't!"
"Didn't you disown me as your granddaughter? From today onwards, I'm not coming home. You can let whoever wants to host President Chu's birthday banquet do so!"
With that, Zhao Jing grabbed her mother and rushed out the door.
As long as Zhao Yazhi lives in this house, she will never go back!
Before leaving, Xu Tian also reminded them, "Please think carefully about President Chu's birthday banquet, and also..."
Xu Tian looked at Zhao Yazhi and said, "You don't need to judge my identity. If I told you, I'd be scared to death!"
After saying that, Xu Tian swaggered away.
Zhao Yazhi trembled with rage, "What a disaster! Who is this person? Blacklist him and make sure he never appears in Jiangcheng again!"
Zhao Pengfei was extremely annoyed. What was supposed to be a good thing had turned out like this.
Banning Xu Tian would be easy, but Chu Lan is someone you can't afford to offend.
