Zhao Youming had made it sound like a simple issue. However, his words had struck Zhao Yifei’s softest spot.
Zhao Yifei’s expression grew increasingly dark. In the end, he could no longer hold himself back. He rose up, raised his hand and was about to slap Zhao Youming.
Zhao Youming was already well-prepared for this. He moved his leg backward and dodged Zhao Yifei’s forthcoming hand.
At the same time, he swiftly grabbed Zhao Yifei’s wrist with his right hand. He seized Zhao Yifei’s pulse point and squeezed down on it.
The familiar pain caused Zhao Yifei’s expression to distort and he almost screamed.
Luckily, he still had some sense about him. He knew the person suppressing him and that once he screamed, many people would gather around them again.
He swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue. His complexion turned white and glared at Zhao Youming fiercely, “Darn you, Zhao Youming! What are you doing? Let go of me! You’ve got a lot of nerve! How dare you lay a finger on me?! Do you really think you are a part of the Zhao family just because Grandpa let you join Zhao Enterprise?! If you dare to strike me, I’ll certainly make your life a living hell! I’ll tell Grandpa later and ask him to kick you out of Zhao Enterprise tomorrow! Let go of me!”
Zhao Youming stared coolly at Zhao Yifei as he kept struggling. He did not loosen his grip. In fact, he clenched harder.
If Zhao Yifei was in his usual state, he still stood a chance to get rid of Zhao Youming, whose body size was similar to him. However, Zhao Yifei had just only been treated brutally. His energy had been drained and his body was still very weak. As such, he was easily restrained by Zhao Youming and could not fight back.
“Kick me out of Zhao Enterprise tomorrow, huh?!” Upon hearing Zhao Yifei’s shameless remark, Zhao Youming raised one of his eyebrows. He smiled mockingly, “I have to admit that what you said made sense though. After all, this world emphasizes more on human relationships. No matter how capable or successful you are, if you fail to win other people’s hearts, everything will go in vain. Being someone’s favorite means everything. Human’s hearts are made of flesh and most of them are biassed.”
Zhao Youming deliberately paused a moment before he teasingly sized Zhao Yifei up and mocked him, “However, Yifei, are you sure you are able to move Grandpa’s heart? Are you able to make him vent his anger and take actions on others for the sake of you?”
Zhao Yifei turned stiff. He recalled that his hand had just been dislocated by Zhao Youlin not long ago. The former master did not speak up for him. Instead, he had even sided with Zhao Youlin when Sun Fengzi and he rebuked her. The former master had even asked Uncle Zhao to commit such a brutal act on him.
After being treated in that way, anyone with some common sense naturally understood one thing.
He… had already fallen out of favor. In the former master’s eyes, he was nothing compared to Zhao Youlin and that bastard whom he had just acknowledged as his grandson.
Zhao Yifei knew the truth. However, he was not willing to accept it. This was especially so that what Zhao Youming had said were like knives stabbing his heart.
If he was not happy, neither were the rest.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yifei gritted his teeth. He turned his head around and glared at Zhao Youming as he shouted, “So what even if I fail to move Grandpa’s heart?! Zhao Youming, you are only an illegitimate child that is meant to be kept in the dark. No matter what you do, you will never be an official member of the Zhao family. The moment you are formed in your mother’s womb, you can never change your life nor make a comeback. You are destined to be stepped down by me for the rest of your life!”
“Stepped down under your feet?” Zhao Youming looked like he had just heard the greatest joke on Earth. He bent down and leaned closer to Zhao Yifei. As he stared into Zhao Yifei’s eyes that were filled with hatred as if he wanted to skin him alive, he said with a faint smile, “Yifei, that’s very naive of you. You are right. I admit that I don’t have a privileged background and am not acknowledged by Grandpa even today. However, so what? Other than the fact that my background is not as privileged as yours, in what other ways am I inferior to you?”
“You… You are an illegitimate child that came from a b*tch. What right do you have to talk to me?!”
“Regardless of whether I am an illegitimate or legitimate child. Just like you, half of my blood comes from the Zhao family. You cannot deny this. Apart from the fact that my mother is unlike yours, who lives a good life but is as stupid as a pig, I am nothing inferior to you. In terms of knowledge, skill and talent, you are useless compared to me!”
“You!” This was Zhao Yifei’s first time being humiliated this way. His face turned red, and he struggled even more.
“Yifei, a word of advice, don’t simply struggle. After all, your arm is not in its best condition to move like this.
There was the hint of a threat in Zhao Youming’s words. Zhao Yifei’s entire body shuddered. He glared at Zhao Youming indignantly. However, he dared not simply move.
Zhao Youming was very satisfied with how he behaved. He was used to watching this person acting smugly before him and bossing around. This was his first time pressing the person down so that he cannot move around. Even though Zhao Yifei was angry, he could only grit his teeth and endure this. Watching his current expression, Zhao Youming felt an indescribable pleasure.
“Apart from what I have mentioned earlier, I still have something that I’m sure I can win over you. I guarantee that I will be able to leave a trace of the bloodline for the Zhao family in the near future. As for you…”
Right after Zhao Youming said this, Zhao Yifei’s expression turned as white as sheets. He had his eyes flying wide open. His eyes were filled with anger. Above all, he was actually very much caught by surprise and felt deeply humiliated.
Zhao Youlin’s brutal kick had caused him to be impotent. Ever since then, he dared not simply sleep with women as he was afraid that the fact about his impotence would spread to others.
He was notoriously known as a playboy in the past but was now impotent trash. This was an incredible humiliation to him.
Zhao Yifei had thought that only Sun Fengzi and he knew about this. However, now…
“Yifei, don’t look so shocked. In this world, walls have ears. I have long learned about your misfortune. In fact, even Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group also know about this. On top of that, who can tell if Grandpa has knowledge about this as well?”
Zhao Yifei’s expression turned white. Seeing him in his current state, Zhao Youming felt inexplicably happy.
“How ironic is it that the official grandson of the Zhao family cannot leave an heir for the family. Luckily, Grandpa still has me. Otherwise, I’m afraid the Zhao family line is over if they have to rely on you alone. That’s a huge sin, do you know that, Yifei? Don’t you agree with me?”
“Zhao Youming!” He gnashed his teeth as he shouted. Along with his scream came a dull thud inside the room once again.
