Chapter 1255: Get Out
Editor:Â Henyee Translations
Ms. Qinâs reaction was swift. She instinctively shielded her face and began sobbing, her emotions appearing more like anger and sorrow than panic.
Zhao Shu, on the other hand, responded with a contemptuous sneer, oozing sarcasm.
He had no intention of engaging in an argument with them. If his father became suspicious, mere excuses wouldnât suffice to divert his attention. It was nothing short of a fantasy.
Zhao Ye, with a cynical tone, interjected, âThird Brother, donât attempt to change the subject. Surely, you havenât squandered all the money?â
Zhao Mu turned his gaze towards Zhao Shu, fully expecting a response.
Zhao Shu remained composed, determined to address this issue head-on. Zhao Yeâs unexpected visit held deeper implications, and he wasnât about to let it slide.
âItâs inconsequential how much money I possess, and it certainly doesnât concern you! Even if I did spend it all, thatâs my prerogative. What does it matter to you? If youâre envious, why not scrounge up a couple of million yuan for yourself? Oh, wait, you canât, can you? Because youâre penniless!â
Zhao Ye bit his lip, struggling to contain his anger. He reminded himself that his father would surely reprimand his Third Brother.
Growing impatient, Zhao Mu prioritized his silk and weaving enterprises, brushing aside other matters. It was evident that his Third Son had lost his composure today. As long as Ms. Qin and her son were present, he intended to deliver a message to them.
With a stern tone, Zhao Mu addressed Ms. Qin and Zhao Ye, âYou may leave now.â
Ms. Qin trembled, and Zhao Ye was taken aback by his fatherâs abrupt decision.
The mother and son experienced a blend of humiliation and anger while also harboring an underlying sense of fear.
The notion of not allowing them to eavesdrop left them perplexed. Could it be that the Old Master intended to bestow a significant role upon Zhao Shu?
However, Zhao Shu didnât dwell on such thoughts; he remained indifferent to Zhao Muâs plans. What mattered most to him was the satisfaction of seeing Zhao Mu dismiss the mother and son.
âConcubine Qin, are you hard of hearing? I explicitly instructed you to leave!â
Zhao Mu remained silent, torn between his sonâs abrupt command and the presence of Ms. Qin and Zhao Ye, who stood bewildered.
Zhao Ye snorted dismissively in an attempt to defend himself. âDad wants to have a private conversation with you, showing you respect, Mom. Letâs go!â
Zhao Shu retorted bluntly, âJust leave already!â
With clenched teeth, Zhao Ye held back further comments and departed with Ms. Qin, his face dark with frustration. However, both mother and son appeared disoriented by the sudden turn of events.
Zhao Mu had initially requested everyoneâs departure, but Zhao Shu insisted on retaining Uncle Qingâs presence. Zhao Mu had no intention of engaging in a protracted argument; he simply needed funds, and thatâs what he asked of Zhao Shu.
Smiling faintly, Zhao Shu explained, âA total of 1.8 million liang. I collaborated with someone to trade horses, sheep, and hides in the northern regions. I contributed the initial capital, while another party invested 1 million liang. The remaining 800,000 liang was used for expenses.â
Zhao Mu, growing increasingly irritated by his sonâs demeanor, narrowed his eyes and maintained a stoic expression, unsure whether to believe his account.
Undeterred by the bleak circumstances, Zhao Shu chuckled. âDad, you trust me, right? Well, if you donât, thereâs not much I can do. The fact remains that weâre left with no money.â
Zhao Muâs breath quickened, and he sneered in response, âRegardless, Iâm certain youâre telling the truth. Zhao Shu, donât think I canât deal with you!â
âNever forget that youâre still a part of the Zhao Family! If you continue to act so selfishly and callously, I wonât spare a single penny of our assets for you!â
