Chapter 290: Chapter 290 There is One Condition

At that moment, in the corridor.

Deng Yan stood at the doorway with a troubled expression, lowering his voice to remind, "Chairman Zheng, please calm down. It wouldn’t be good if other employees see."

Zheng Rongxi struggled to control her emotions and said, "I’ve been very restrained. If I really wanted to make a scene, I would’ve barged in already." She shoved Deng Yan, "Move aside."

Deng Yan stood firmly at the door, insisting,

"Chairman Zheng, this is Mr. Cheng’s directive. No one is allowed to enter."

Zheng Rongxi’s face flushed with anger, turning red and white as she trembled, patting her chest, "In business, I am a board member of the group; personally, one inside is my husband, the other is my son-in-law. Move aside."

Deng Yan remained adamant, saying, "Chairman Zheng, no one goes in without Mr. Cheng’s permission."

"You..." Zheng Rongxi glared and paced back and forth at the door, "Fine, Deng Yan, you’re something else."

Suddenly, someone inside said, "Let her in."

Cheng Xiangheng finally spoke up. Deng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped aside, and opened the door.

Zheng Rongxi shot a fierce glance at Deng Yan and walked in.

Seeing Sun Dongchen, Zheng Rongxi gasped and covered her mouth, then quickly looked him over, concerned, and asked,

"Dongchen... what..."

"Mom, ah... It’s okay, Mom, don’t be scared, it’s okay, it’s just a lot of blood, not really a big deal." Sun Dongchen started acting dramatic again.

Zheng Rongxi hurriedly grabbed tissue to help wipe him, asking while she wiped, distressed, "Why is there so much blood? How did this happen? Who hit you?"

The last question was particularly loud.

Who hit him? Who else could it be!

Cheng Qiaobei internally sneered, in this office, besides him, there was no one else.

Both of them were quite the actors, but Cheng Qiaobei remained expressionless, not uttering a word.

Zheng Rongxi breathed heavily, looking at Cheng Xiangheng with indignation, her eyes fierce as she asked, "You’re just going to do nothing? Look at how Dongchen has been beaten! That’s your son-in-law, your daughter’s husband, your grandson’s father. We’re family, and he was beaten up for no reason? The assault was too severe, they wanted to beat him to death. Cheng Xiangheng, are you going to do anything or not!"

"Why are you shouting?"

Cheng Xiangheng replied indifferently with just one sentence.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, as if he really intended to do nothing, Zheng Rongxi suddenly recalled past arguments with Ding Yuan, where he always had this nonchalant look, openly doing nothing, but secretly siding with Ding Yuan. Her anger flared even more fiercely.

She pointed at the people behind her, "Today’s incident, he isn’t just going to take a beating for nothing. If you won’t take responsibility, I’ll find someone who will, I’ll find a place that makes sense."

Seeing Zheng Rongxi pull out her phone to call the police, Cheng Xiangheng grabbed an ashtray from the table and threw it at her. With a gasp, Zheng Rongxi clutched her wrist, and the phone fell to the ground.

Her eyes widened in shock, but soon her eyes turned red. Seeing Cheng Qiaobei next to her, Zheng Rongxi forced back her grievances, holding back her tears.

"You won’t do anything, and you won’t let others do anything either? Just because he’s your son? Does that mean he can do whatever he wants in the company and hit people at will?"

Zheng Rongxi directed her anger at Cheng Qiaobei, glaring at him as she walked to him and said furiously, "Didn’t your mother teach you not to hit people? You improperly raised child! You little bastard, you dare to hit anyone!"

Cheng Qiaobei narrowed his eyes slightly, his molars grinding.

Once a woman’s scar is ripped open, she’ll unleash all her resentment, past humiliations, and buried hatred in a mad frenzy. Seeing Cheng Qiaobei’s face reminded her of Ding Yuan, reminded her of that hateful woman who stole her husband.

In Zheng Rongxi’s heart at this moment, Cheng Qiaobei daring to hit Sun Dongchen was tantamount to slapping her in the face. Over the years, even though Ding Yuan had left Cheng Xiangheng, she was still being favored, showing how important Ding Yuan was in Cheng Xiangheng’s heart.

Her husband had another woman living in his heart, one even more important than her. This was unacceptable to Zheng Rongxi, making her hate Ding Yuan and Cheng Qiaobei even more.

"Well, say something!"

"Say what?" he coldly retorted, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Zheng Rongxi felt belittled by Cheng Qiaobei, clearly not being taken seriously, "You little bastard, today I’ll teach you on behalf of your mother!"

Just as she was about to slap Cheng Qiaobei’s face, he raised his arm and caught her hand. Calmly, Cheng Qiaobei said,

"You didn’t even ask him why he got beaten up, just came after me. Now you want to teach me on behalf of my mother? You forgot one thing, my mother hasn’t been able to control me for a long time."

Cheng Xiangheng sternly called out, "Cheng Qiaobei!"

Cheng Qiaobei released her arm, turning his gaze to Sun Dongchen, "If you don’t speak up now, I’ll call the police. The evidence I have is enough to give you a few years inside."

For defamation and spreading rumors, if it reached a certain level of dissemination, the punishment was indeed severe.

Sun Dongchen, feeling guilty, covered his face and said to Zheng Rongxi, "Mom, today’s incident isn’t really Qiaobei’s fault, it’s me, it’s my problem."

She had rushed in to back him up upon hearing Sun Dongchen had been beaten, only for him now to betray her, making Zheng Rongxi’s head buzz with a splitting pain.

"Speak up, what really happened?" Zheng Rongxi sharply demanded.

Sun Dongchen hesitantly recounted in detail how he spent money to hire internet trolls to spread false news about Cheng Qiaobei and Xia Zhiqing.

Halfway through, Zheng Rongxi’s head was already throbbing with pain, and she grit her teeth, almost wanting to slap Sun Dongchen.

But in the current situation, even if it was Sun Dongchen’s fault, she couldn’t let it go.

Zheng Rongxi steadied her breathing and said, "Yes, Dongchen was wrong to buy those internet trolls, but he wasn’t the one who started this. If you hadn’t had something with that little celebrity, who could set you up? At the root of it, the mistake is yours. Once you’re married, don’t go creating such disgusting scandals. We don’t care who you’re with, but don’t forget, your reputation is tied to the company’s reputation too.

Dongchen was beaten this time, and it wasn’t light. You two are even now."

After speaking, Zheng Rongxi called out to Sun Dongchen, "Dongchen, let’s go."

Sun Dongchen found a way out and hurried to leave with Zheng Rongxi, but just as he lifted his foot, Cheng Qiaobei called out.

"Wait—" Cheng Qiaobei said coldly.

The two paused and looked at him. Zheng Rongxi pretended to be calm and asked, "What else is there?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "I can let go of my issues, but how are we going to solve the company’s stock price falling?"

Zheng Rongxi’s eyes rolled, "That’s your problem to consider."

"Fine, I can take the blame for this, but there’s one condition." Cheng Qiaobei looked at Sun Dongchen, who seemed to realize something and moved to hide behind Zheng Rongxi.

Cheng Xiangheng knew that he had made such a big fuss for a reason.

His son, ruthless just like him, had now learned to be relentless.

Cheng Xiangheng was actually satisfied and said, "Alright, what condition?"

Cheng Qiaobei pointed behind Zheng Rongxi, "Only one of us, he or I, can stay."

Zheng Rongxi’s eyes widened slightly, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Have him leave the company!"

Sun Dongchen, in a panic, shouted, "Mom, I..."

Zheng Rongxi absolutely couldn’t let Sun Dongchen leave. That would be a slap in her face.
