Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Yao Ziyang watched Yao Zizhou’s high-and-mighty attitude, his heart was filled with anger and his hands clenched into fists. He was so close, so close to getting the entire Yao family into his hands, so close to getting rid of this useless Yao Zizhou.
At this moment, Yao Ziyang had no other choice but to put on a guilty look and said, “Brother, I was really scared that day. I overstepped my boundaries when I spoke. Please don’t follow my poor example. We’re brothers, don’t take it to heart. I brought some fruits and nutritional supplements. I hope you can forgive me, brother.”
Although Yao Ziyang knew that Yao Zizhou could not see him, he still kept a smile on his face, not daring to reveal his dark side.
Hearing Yao Ziyang’s words, Yao Zizhou sat in his wheelchair and stayed silent for a while, purposely giving Yao Ziyang the cold shoulder. The crime had been committed, so he had to be punished.
After a moment of silence, Yao Zizhou said to Yao Ziyang coldly, “You dared to strike my wife in front of me. What should I do? ”
Hearing this, Yao Ziyang gritted his teeth. Although he did not want to do this, he had no choice, Yao Zizhou was the boss after all.
Yao Ziyang set down the items he brought and struck himself twice across the face. Hard. Just from hearing the loud smacks, he most likely used his full strength. Both strikes were on the same cheek, and so Yao Ziyang’s face immediately swelled with a red handprint.
Seeing this, Ming Liuyi was shocked. This Yao Ziyang was a ruthless man, to even strike himself so hard. It seemed that Yao Ziyang had been merciful that day. Ming Liuyi shuddered just thinking about it. If he had used the same strength when he struck her that day, she would probably be lying in the hospital still, unable to get up.
Yao Ziyang’s heart was filled with anger, but he could not do anything about it. He knew very well what kind of person Yao Zizhou was, and if he could not give him a satisfactory answer, he might lose everything. Yao Ziyang panted heavily, and after calming himself down, he raised his head to look at Yao Zizhou, still with a smile on his face.
“I slapped myself twice. The first one was for sister-in-law. I apologize, sister-in-law. The second one was for big brother, for teaching me a lesson on discipline.”
Yao Zizhou heard this and sneered. At this point, Ziyang should know what fear was. Although he did not know much about what happened when he was comatose, what he did know was that Yao Ziyang was the cause of most of their problems. If it were not for the lack of evidence, Yao Ziyang would have been dead by now.
“When did I say that I would let you take my place? What right do you have to replace me? Are you even worthy?”
Yao Zizhou’s words were like a double-edged sword. On the surface, it was a lesson, but the real meaning was to tell Yao Ziyang that the Yao Corporation would always be Yao Zizhou’s, and Yao Ziyang would never get a share of it. Yao Ziyang clenched his fists and tried his best to reign in his temper. He was so close to success, but things ended up like this. How could he be willing to accept this?
All these years, Yao Ziyang had been enduring silently, listening to Yao Zizhou’s every word and never showing off his strength. He just wanted to wait for the day when he could completely replace Yao Zizhou and take over the massive Yao empire. Although the company was still under the control of Yao Gui and Yao Zizhou, Yao Ziyang’s power was not weak.
The Yao Corporation had been around for a hundred years. Yao Gui and Yao Ziyang’s father, Yao Zheng, had been competing for the position of Chairman back then, and it had been incredibly intense. However, Yao Zheng had lost by a slight margin in the end, and Yao Gui had taken over the company. As Yao Zizhou grew, he slowly took over the company’s affairs until he fully solidified his position as Yao Gui’s successor.
Even though Yao Zheng had lost that year, he still had a strong foundation and plenty of capital. He had been plotting for many years, and had been silently supporting Yao Ziyang to regain control of the company. However, Yao Zizhou had never taken Yao Ziyang seriously, not even treating him as a brother. He only treated Yao Ziyang as a subordinate who could be ordered around at will.
They were both members of the Yao family, so why was Yao Zizhou born to be a superior? Why was it that Yao Ziyang could only remain silent behind Yao Zizhou?
Yao Ziyang did not say anything else, this was the first time he had dared to go against Yao Zizhou. Yao Zizhou’s expression was dark and merciless as he turned around and left.
Ming Liuyi was dumbfounded, this was something she had never expected. After calming herself down, she said in shock, “Yao Zizhou, aren’t you being too heartless? Isn’t this a direct confrontation?”
