Watching the video that was still playing on his phone, Zhong Zhe’s expression changed. He rubbed his hands nervously and said, “Something like this actually happened in the Zhong family?! Ms. Mo, I have no idea what’s going on. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have allowed Xiao Yu to face such a situation!”
After a pause, the man frowned slightly and looked at Mo Zhu cautiously. “Ms. Mo, please give me another chance. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give Xiao Yu an explanation! I will definitely double the compensation of Xiao Yu in the future!”
Mo Zhu placed her hands on the table and knocked a few times on the table in the lounge expressionlessly. The sunlight shone on her face through the transparent glass window, making the girl’s face look even more beautiful and cold.
“You want me to give you another chance? Just because you don’t think highly of her, the entire Zhong family doesn’t care about her at all and Jiang Yu is getting bullied and humiliated by her classmates in school every day. I believe you don’t know a single one of these things!”
As she spoke, Mo Zhu clenched her teeth. “Do you still remember what you promised me when you took her away from Qingyuan Village? Open your eyes and take a good look at what you’ve even achieved?”
Zhong Zhe seemed to be frightened by Mo Zhu’s cold tone. He lowered his head slightly and did not dare to continue the conversation.
“Little Bamboo, fetch your friend out of their house. It’s quite convenient to rent a small house near school for her to live in and study…” Xu Huan saw that the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward and tried to find a way out for Zhong Zhe.
No matter how one looked at it, it was too embarrassing for a middle-aged man who had dominated the business scene for twenty to thirty years to be reprimanded by a young lady.
Upon hearing Xu Huan’s suggestion, Mo Zhu immediately rejected him without looking up. “I want him to give an explanation. I’m not asking you to help me think of a solution. Don’t get involved in this matter!”
Mo Zhu’s cold tone coupled with her terrifying expression immediately shut Xu Huan up. He then curled his lips and chose to stand at the side quietly and stop talking.
In fact, Mo Zhu also knew that she had too many things on her plate right now and could not take care of Jiang Yu all the time. Besides, she had a sickly grandmother to take care of. She had many enemies in school, so she could not bring Jiang Yu along and allow her to suffer.
It was not necessarily a bad idea for Jiang Yu to continue staying in the Zhong family, but she wanted to warn the entire Zhong family, and she wanted them to give Jiang Yu the identity of a member of the Zhong family. This way, not only would it improve Jiang Yu’s situation, but it would also allow the bullies in school to know and understand her identity and status!
“Ms. Mo, I’ve been too busy with my business recently and I didn’t manage to take care of the bad things in my family well. All along, I thought that the Zhong family was as harmonious as it appeared to be. When I go back later, I’ll definitely teach the servants who look down on Xiao Yu a lesson and also warn the others in the Zhong family to take good care of Xiao Yu!”
Zhong Zhe sighed deeply. “Ms. Mo, I don’t beg you to forgive me, but Xiao Yu’s parents saved my life. I sincerely treat her as my own daughter. I only hope that there is a chance for me to make it up to Xiao Yu…”
Mo Zhu could hear the sincerity and genuineness in the man’s tone and her attitude towards him eased up. She waved her hand and the girl’s expression had already loosened up quite a bit. “It’s not impossible for me to give you a chance. That will depend on how sincere you are!”
Once Mo Zhu said this, the three people present heaved a sigh of relief, especially Zhong Zhe. Once he saw that she was no longer aggressive, he immediately began to think of a countermeasure.
Clenching his fists, the man spoke resolutely as if he had made a decision. “If Xiao Yu agrees, I am willing to hold a public banquet to acknowledge her as my daughter. In this case, on the account of the Zhong family, no one in Cloud City will make things difficult for Xiao Yu in the future!”
“As for my family, I will also deal with the conflict between Xiao Yu and them. If something like today happens again, Ms. Mo can look for me to hold me accountable!”
Zhong Zhe quickly finished speaking. Afraid that Mo Zhu would be dissatisfied with the conditions he had mentioned, he added, “Or if Ms. Mo has any additional opinions, you can directly raise them. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely not reject them!”
At this moment, Mo Zhu also raised her head and quietly looked at Zhong Zhe. Her dark and clear eyes stared intently at the man. Not long later, she opened her red lips lightly and said, “Alright, since Mr. Zhong has said so, I won’t make things difficult for you. Then, this matter will end here. I’ll have to trouble Mr. Zhong to take good care of Xiao Yu from now on!”
Just as Mo Zhu finished speaking, she didn’t say anything else and turned around, walking straight out of the living room. Then, Huo Xuan also gave Zhong Zhe a cold glance before following after the girl. Not long later, only Zhong Zhe, who still had lingering fears, was left in the room.
After giving his assistant a few simple instructions on the following tasks and work, Zhong Zhe did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately instructed the chauffeur to send him back to the Zhong family’s mansion.
When he opened the door, the nanny was watering the plants in the courtyard. Before closing the door angrily, Zhong Zhe said coldly,
“Auntie Li, pause your work. Come in with me first.”
Auntie Li, who was in the courtyard, was also confused. Why was the usually good-tempered Sir so angry today? It was really baffling!
