Chapter 554: Stop Fighting
"No... stop hitting me... stop hitting me,"
She couldn't go see Ji Wan, couldn't ask her for help,
She would only bring shame upon herself if she went there now.
She still has a chance, as long as... as long as Su Jiujiu can come out to clarify for her, as long as she can prove that the money was really extorted, everything can still turn around.
"Bang,"
The door of the villa was kicked open from the outside.
The heavy door hit the wall with a deafening bang.
Zhao Dehai rushed in with two black-clad bodyguards, his face livid, the anger in his eyes almost setting the whole villa on fire.
"Dad..." When Zhao Xiyue saw him, she was so scared that her face turned pale and she stepped back subconsciously.
"You still remember I'm your father?" Zhao Dehai rushed over to her, pointed at her nose and cursed, "I told you to come back and solve the problem, and you're hiding here pretending to be dead?"
"I didn't, I..."
"You don't have anything?" Zhao Dehai was furious when he saw her cowering. "You're going to ruin the company. Do you know how many people have called me, threatening to disown our Zhao family? Decades of foundation are about to be destroyed by a fool like you."
"Dad, please give me some more time," Zhao Xiyue cried and grabbed his sleeve, "I can solve it, I will definitely solve it."
"Solve it? How are you going to solve it?" Zhao Dehai pushed her away. "Go and ask Ji Wan for help? Or go and ask Chi Wenyan for help? Do you dare to go now?"
Zhao Xiyue shrank back when he yelled at her and didn't dare to speak.
Looking at her useless appearance, Zhao Dehai's eyes were filled with disappointment and anger, which finally turned into overwhelming hostility.
He raised his hand.
“Pah.
A loud and crisp slap landed heavily on Zhao Xiyue's face.
The force was so great that she fell sideways and blood instantly seeped from the corner of her mouth.
The air solidified.
Zhao Xiyue covered her burning face and looked at her father in disbelief.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never said a harsh word to her.
Now, he actually hit her.
"You, you hit me?"
"Hit you? I wish I could beat you to death, you evil creature," Zhao Dehai pointed at her with red eyes, "I'm telling you, the Zhao family is down. Do you think you can still be your daughter? Will Chi Wenyan even look at you? You're not even worthy of carrying his shoes."
Zhao Dehai was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only a cold determination remained.
"Get up."
He ordered coldly.
Zhao Xiyue was stunned and just stared at him blankly without moving.
Zhao Dehai lost his last bit of patience and signaled directly to the bodyguard behind him.
"Pick her up and take her away."
"yes,"
Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, and lifted the distraught Zhao Xiyue from the ground like a chicken.
"Dad, where are you taking me?" Zhao Xiyue finally reacted and began to struggle frantically, "I'm not going, let me go."
"It's not up to you."
Zhao Dehai turned around, his voice devoid of warmth.
"Today, even if you have to kneel down and die in front of Ji Wan, you have to settle this matter for me."
Inside the car, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Zhao Xiyue was roughly stuffed into the back seat by two bodyguards. She looked in a miserable state, and the five swollen finger marks on her face were burning with pain.
Before she recovered from the shock of her father hitting her, she saw Zhao Dehai take out his cell phone and dial a number.
The man, who had a face full of hostility a second ago, had a flattering and fawning smile on his face the moment the phone was connected, and his waist bent subconsciously.
"Hello, is this Assistant Chen? Oh, yes, yes, I'm Zhao Dehai..."
That voice was humble to the core.
"Yes, yes, I know Mr. Chi is busy. I just want to apologize to Mr. Chi and Miss Ji in person for my ignorant daughter."
"I know we don't deserve it, but please give us a chance, just five minutes, no, just three minutes will do."
Zhao Dehai nodded and bowed into the phone, his attitude humble to the ground.
Zhao Xiyue sat in the back, listening to her father's servile voice. Every word was like a needle piercing her heart.
This is the father she is proud of, the head of the Zhao family who once called the shots in City A.
Now, in order to ask for a chance to meet, he is like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
And all this is because of Ji Wan.
Humiliation and hatred surged wildly in her chest, almost bursting through her throat.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Assistant Chen. Thank you. Three o'clock in the afternoon, right? We will be there on time, definitely."
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Zhao Dehai's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold and gloomy look.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Xiyue with a look that was like looking at trash.
"Chi Wenyan and Ji Wan will meet us at 3 pm on the top floor of Chi Group."
He spoke each word clearly, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Listen carefully, when you get there, kneel down when I tell you to, kowtow when I tell you to. If you make any mistakes and ruin the Zhao family's plans, I'll break your legs myself."
Zhao Xiyue trembled all over, bit her lips tightly, and dared not say a word.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Office of the President of Chi Group.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the most prosperous scene of City A.
Chi Wenyan sat on the leather sofa in the main seat, his long legs crossed, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura that kept strangers away.
Ji Wan sat leisurely beside him, holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, his posture was lazy, and he was too lazy to even lift his eyelids.
Zhao Dehai almost crawled in, and his legs went weak when he saw the two people on the sofa.
"Mr. Chi, Miss Ji..."
He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, then turned around abruptly and shouted at the distraught Zhao Xiyue behind him.
"Kneel down."
Zhao Xiyue's body froze.
Her knees felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't bend them.
Kneel down in front of Ji Wan?
No.
She can't do it.
"I told you to kneel down, are you deaf?"
Seeing that she didn't move, Zhao Dehai was furious and rushed over and kicked her in the knee.
“Plop.
Zhao Xiyue could no longer hold on, and her knees slammed heavily on the mirror-like marble floor, making a dull sound.
The piercing pain was far less intense than the humiliation in my heart.
"Mr. Chi, Miss Ji, it's my fault for not raising my daughter well. I raised this evil creature and offended you two," Zhao Dehai said, bending over with cold sweat on his forehead. "I've brought her here and will let you do whatever you want with her. You can beat her or scold her, but I have no complaints. I only ask that you show some mercy and spare our Zhao family's life."
Chi Wenyan had no expression on his face, not even a glance.
There was deathly silence in the office.
