Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1119: Chapter 115: Arrogant Brat!_3

Qian Haoyu was clearly fanning the flames, not trying to defuse the situation.

Zhang Yudong’s face changed immediately, and he looked towards Bai Xiaosheng in a hurry.

Bai Xiaosheng had a calm expression, but his gaze was unusually cold, and he spoke slowly, ”Too much, you say? Well then, I shall be ’too much’!”

”You!” Qian Haoyu was furious, as if Bai Xiaosheng had no sense, no inkling of danger!

Mo Xin had already brought her people to stand behind Bai Xiaosheng with emotionless faces, but it seemed they would follow Bai Xiaosheng’s lead without question.

At Bai Xiaosheng’s single command, she would walk away without looking back, even if it meant abandoning a partnership with the Zhang Family discussed over the last six months!

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying stood indifferently on the other side.

They were all waiting for Bai Xiaosheng’s order.

”Qian Haoyu, that’s enough of you!”

In the midst of the tense atmosphere, someone rushed to Bai Xiaosheng’s side and berated Qian Haoyu.

It was Jia Dazhuang.

At this moment, Jia Dazhuang was no longer afraid.

Determined to stand by his friend, he spoke up on Bai Xiaosheng’s behalf with a burst of righteous anger.

”Qian Haoyu, as a young master of the Qian Family, how can you be so shameless? Don’t you understand the principle of integrity, or the saying ’you must accept loss in gambling’? What does this have to do with gender! Huo Yumeng accepted the challenge, so she must follow the rules, and we all saw that, right? And even if she, as a woman, may not be required to uphold the agreement to the fullest extent, what excuse do you, a man, have for not doing so?”

Jia Dazhuang’s cries roused the surrounding guests, drawing them all in, murmuring amongst themselves.

”That’s right, you should abide by the agreement!”

”Yeah, especially those from prominent families like the Qian Family, they should definitely do so!”

The rare support from the crowd boosted Jia Dazhuang’s confidence, and he spoke with exceptional fluency.

”Hold your tongue, Jia Dazhuang, what the. fuck. are you!”

Qian Haoyu immediately exploded in anger.

This matter, which was supposed to be concealed amidst the conflicts with Huo Yumeng and someone with the surname Bai, was unexpectedly dug up by someone with the surname Jia!

”Enough, Mr. Yu, hold back your words; you too should accept the loss in gambling!” Zhang Yudong said angrily.

He, of course, knew the content of the gambling agreement, and he had asked Huo Yumeng to apologize to avoid that awkward outcome.

Unexpectedly, Qian Haoyu had popped up and made the situation even worse.

Qian Haoyu was causing more harm than good, arrogant beyond measure, even acting above the Zhang Family people in their presence.

It was only because Grandfather Zhang Xi bore in mind old loyalties that Zhang Yudong, out of sight and out of mind, didn’t want to sour friendships unduly. But given such disrespect from Qian Haoyu, even Zhang Yudong’s patience was wearing thin.

So be it then.

Let’s stick to the agreement.

”Keeping promises is the foundation of business!”

Zhang Yudong’s statement aroused loud cheers from the crowd.

Huo Yumeng was like someone who had suffered great injustice, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, furiously glaring at Zhang Yudong.

She had been wholeheartedly devoted to him.

Yet he demanded that she apologize publicly as per the gambling agreement, bringing disgrace upon herself.

Huo Yumeng was utterly heartbroken and furious beyond words.

”I won’t!”

Huo Yumeng clenched her teeth in humiliation, glaring at Zhang Yudong, then pointing at Bai Xiaosheng, ”For their sake, you actually want me to face humiliation. I, Huo Yumeng, have been sincere to you for so many years—do I deserve this treatment? Zhang Yudong, ask yourself, do you deserve me, you, you!”

Huo Yumeng was so angry, she was beyond words.

Qian Haoyu was also filled with rage, like a cat with its tail stepped on, ”Zhang Yudong, after all these years of friendship, you side with outsiders!”

”Fine, I, Qian Haoyu, have been blind! Have you forgotten how my Qian Family helped your Zhang Family back in the day, and now you all forget! Now, you even let me be humiliated in your house for the sake of outsiders, how can you be at peace with that!”

”Today, I, for one, will not keep my word. So what!”

”In such an ungrateful place, what’s the use of talking about rules!”

Qian Haoyu’s frenzied outburst was unrestrained, even shouting publicly.

The guests whispered among themselves.

Zhang Yudong was shivering with anger.

Bai Xiaosheng watched with an unchanged expression.

From start to finish, he had never forced Huo Yumeng and Qian Haoyu to keep the agreement.

However, his silence did not mean that he did not expect Huo Yumeng and Qian Haoyu to fulfill it.

Those two had publicly insulted him and Weiwei; now they wished to just walk away from it?

Such wishful thinking did not exist!

He, Bai Xiaosheng, was not someone to be trifled with or easily bullied!

If Huo Yumeng had really just apologized as Zhang Yudong had said, he would have felt shortchanged!

This world keeps shouting about equality between men and women.

They demand equal rights, then emphasize ”she is a woman” when it comes to duties.

Moreover, what does this have to do with gender?

Since they dared to accept the wager, they must bear the consequences!

In Bai Xiaosheng’s view, if he had lost, he too would have accepted it gracefully, and the other party might not have spared them out of respect for the Zhang Family!

Why hold back then!

The surrounding guests were silent, yet their eyes were wide with anticipation.

Today’s excitement was indeed at fever pitch.

”Huo Yumeng, Qian Haoyu, I, Zhang Yudong, now formally demand that you admit defeat and apologize to our esteemed guests of the Zhang Family!” Zhang Yudong’s face was as dark as storm clouds, and he spoke with authority.

At this command, the Zhang Family people were ready for action, their gazes stern.

”I refuse!” Huo Yumeng shouted angrily, ready to leave.

”Indeed, refuse! The Zhang Family’s ingratitude, to assert that a benefactor has to apologize to an outsider—we’ve all seen it. As a member of the Qian Family, I disdain their character!” Qian Haoyu yelled, ”Today, don’t even mention Zhang Yudong— even if Old Master Zhang himself came, he couldn’t expect an apology from me! Let’s go, Yumeng, we’re leaving this place!”

Qian Haoyu truly had no regard for face, was shamelessly arrogant, and it nearly blasted Zhang Yudong with anger.

Bai Xiaosheng had already signaled to Lei Ying; if they attempted to leave, he should stop them.

Lei Ying discreetly nodded and prepared himself.

Just then, a resoundingly loud voice came from outside the hall.

”So, even if I personally come, you won’t admit defeat and keep your word?”

”Qian Family brat, your words are arrogant!”
