"I told you to go home, where did you go?!" Zhang Hongfu scolded with a stern face and a stern tone.
Zhang Yuan's expression changed, and he tried to act like a spoiled child as usual. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Dad, I'm just a little late coming home. I promise I won't go out without your permission in the future."
In the past, as long as he admitted his mistake, Zhang Hongfu would let it go, but today his expression did not soften at all.
Zhang Hongfu slammed his hand on the table, making a dull sound. Zhang Yuan was startled and stood there without daring to move.
"You're not a child anymore. Before, you said you wanted to enter the entertainment industry and I agreed. Now you've quit. You're idling at home all day and hanging out with questionable women. Do you want to piss me off to death?!" Zhang Hongfu's eyes were filled with complicated expressions. He really loved and hated this son!
Especially today, after seeing how capable and competent Zhang Tao was, I became even more angry with my son!
At this moment, he suddenly began to doubt whether he had spoiled him too much, which was why he had raised him to be such a useless person today.
Zhang Yuan had never seen Zhang Hongfu so angry before. He didn't dare to refute for a moment. He pretended to know he was wrong, but he was thinking disdainfully in his heart that he was not fooling around with a woman of questionable character. Jiang Xiaowan was a kind and sensible girl, and they didn't understand that.
Seeing that Zhang Yuan seemed to have truly realized his mistake, Zhang Hongfu's expression softened a bit and he said in a deep voice, "Come with me."
"Where are you going?" Zhang Yuan asked with his lips slightly pursed, but he was reluctant in his heart. He was tired after a whole day and was sleepy...
Zhang Hongfu stood up, frowned slightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Just follow me, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Zhang Yuan knew that Zhang Hongfu was in a bad mood and didn't dare to make him angry again. He obediently followed him into the car.
I don't know how long the car drove before it finally stopped.
Zhang Tao was already standing at the hotel entrance, waiting. Zhang Hongfu got out of the car, composed himself, and walked over with a gentle smile. "It's cold, you don't have to wait here, kid!"
Zhang Hongfu looked distressed on the surface, but he was secretly satisfied in his heart. It seemed that Zhang Tao was not so ungrateful as to be here to greet him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hongfu's smile deepened a little. "Let's go in quickly. It would be bad if you caught a cold. That would cause trouble for Mr. He."
Zhang Tao had no intention of going in. His cold and low voice slowly rang out, "No need to go in. Let's talk here if you have anything to say!"
Zhang Hongfu was a little stunned and his brows frowned instantly.
"Cousin, what do you mean?" Zhang Yuan's face was gloomy and he was a little dissatisfied. The breeze at night was still a little chilly, and he didn't want to freeze here.
"The boss has gone to bed. If you want to beg for mercy today, come back tomorrow." Zhang Tao said nonchalantly.
He really had no feelings for Zhang Hongfu, and only he knew what kind of life he had led in their home since his father passed away.
He has never had a full meal and has to endure constant stares and ridicule. Moreover, because he has no one to rely on, he allows his dignity to be trampled upon at will by this nominal cousin. This so-called uncle only smiles and watches him being bullied, and then praises his own son for being so capable.
When he was a little older, not only did he not receive living expenses, but he also took his father's inheritance for himself. He could only work and study at the same time. Fortunately, hard work paid off and he met a boss like He Zhichen...
