Chapter 37: Chapter 37: That’s Just Asking for Trouble

Zhou Zhaoguo cursed at He Tingchen, questioning who he was to meddle in his business.

He Tingchen snorted coldly, wrapping his arm around Fang Anning’s waist and said, "She is my wife, who do you think I am?"

Zhou Zhaoguo’s eyes widened in surprise, and Chen Fengjiao let out a startled "Ah."

Fang Anning shook her head slightly and sighed softly, thinking this was really seeking death.

"Dear father, it was you who married me off to him. Don’t you even know who he is?" Fang Anning gloated in her misfortune.

Zhou Zhaoguo and Chen Fengjiao came to their senses and immediately crawled and pleaded at He Tingchen’s feet, "Mr. He, we’re sorry, we were blind not to recognize you. Please be magnanimous and don’t stoop to our level."

The man’s face was cold as ice, completely unmoved.

Seeing that He Tingchen was ignoring him, Zhou Zhaoguo knelt down to beg Fang Anning, "Anning, please plead with Mr. He for your father. Ask him not to be angry. It’s all my fault, I was blinded by greed. The inheritance from your great-aunt should be yours, and I won’t fight you for it."

"Zhou Zhaoguo." Chen Fengjiao gave him a hard push after hearing this.

Zhou Zhaoguo glared at her and hissed in a lowered voice, "Shut your mouth."

Chen Fengjiao was filled with grievance, clenching her fists and bowing her head, nearly exploding from the humiliation she had never experienced before.

Fang Anning was actually happy to see these two scoundrels kneeling and begging in front of her.

But after all, Zhou Zhaoguo was her biological father, and seeing him kneel like that made her worried about shortening her own life.

So she tilted her head up and whispered to the man, "Let them go! I’m tired and want to go back to rest."

He Tingchen looked down deeply into her eyes, his gaze as deep as an ancient well. Making eye contact with him felt like being drawn in.

Fang Anning quickly averted her gaze and lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes for too long.

"Fine."

After a long moment, the man finally uttered a word in a low voice.

Phew!

Fang Anning, Zhou Zhaoguo, and Chen Fengjiao all simultaneously let out a sigh of relief in their hearts.

He Tingchen left with Fang Anning in his arms, and as they left, the bodyguards also quickly departed.

Zhou Zhaoguo fell hard onto the ground, crying out of relief for having survived the ordeal.

Chen Fengjiao, however, was so angry that she slapped him twice, cursing, "Zhou Zhaoguo, I must have been blind to have married a worthless wimp like you. Letting that damned girl usurp our property and boss us around, you must fight for justice for me and take revenge."

"Shut your mouth. It’s because of you that the damned girl had this chance in the first place." Zhou Zhaoguo, already in a bad mood and accused by Chen Fengjiao, couldn’t help but angrily push her away.

Chen Fengjiao was stunned, looking incredulously at Zhou Zhaoguo.

Zhou Zhaoguo almost married into their Chen family, and without her parents, what was Zhou Zhaoguo?

She bore him a son and a daughter. Over the years, Zhou Zhaoguo had been tender and caring towards her, obeying her in all things.

Afraid of making her angry, he even cut off all ties with Fang Yi, that woman, and her illegitimate daughter.

But now, he actually raised his hand to push her?

"Zhou Zhaoguo, you bastard, you dare push me?"

Chen Fengjiao rushed at him like a madwoman, scratching and clawing, cursing fiercely.

At first, Zhou Zhaoguo dodged again and again, but when Chen Fengjiao scratched his face, he became furious. He raised his hand and fiercely slapped Chen Fengjiao’s face.

"How dare you scratch me? Chen Fengjiao, do you still think you’re the Chen family’s young miss who made me beg and tried to please you in the past? Let me tell you, you’re not anymore. Now I’m the controlling shareholder of the company, all the inheritance your parents left you is mine. If we divorce, you won’t even get a penny and you’ll leave naked. I really regret marrying an unlucky woman like you. If I had stayed by Fang Yi’s side, I would be He Tingchen’s father-in-law by now, and I would have had everything I wanted. It’s all because of you, an unlucky woman, that I lost this great opportunity."

"Zhou Zhaoguo, you dare hit me? How can you say such things, do you have no conscience?" Chen Fengjiao covered her face, weeping bitterly.

Zhou Zhaoguo snorted coldly: "Conscience? My conscience was lost over twenty years ago, as you well know. Was it not your idea for me to abandon Fang Yi and her daughter? Saying that without ruthlessness, one cannot be a man, that a man should adapt to the times? All these words, you taught me, and now it’s what you deserve, it’s retribution."

After finishing, Zhou Zhaoguo left, with a "bang" as he closed the door, leaving only Chen Fengjiao crying her heart out.

In the room, Zhou Xueqin watched the surveillance screen, hearing Zhou Zhaoguo’s heart-piercing words, and couldn’t help but snicker.

Retribution?

Indeed, it is retribution!

Initially, Zhou Zhaoguo’s father, in order to gain favor, married her off to her husband.

Fortunately, they fell in love at first sight and adored each other, which made their lives less miserable.

While her husband was alive, he had given so much help to Zhou Zhaoguo’s father’s family.

But, as soon as her husband’s family fell, the first to kick them while they were down was her own brother.

Part of the reason her husband committed suicide was because of his coercion.

After her husband’s death, he even wanted to marry her off again to an old coot in exchange for a larger bride price.

If it weren’t for her husband’s friend secretly helping her to escape to the United States, she might have died a long time ago, tormented to death.

What blood relations? What family ties?

They were gone forty years ago.

This vengeance, she had always wanted to exact, but never had the chance.

Now, the chance had finally come!

His most beloved son was deceived and hurt by his own daughter, blood relatives killing each other; could there be any revenge more cruel than this?

Zhou Xueqin laughed loudly.

Laughing, she closed her eyes forever!

"Why did you suddenly come over?"

Fang Anning, embraced by He Tingchen’s arms as they walked out of the hospital and got into the car, hurriedly looked at him and asked.

"I missed you," said the man with a deep voice.

Fang Anning almost laughed, this excuse wasn’t funny at all.

"What, you don’t miss me?" the man turned his head, with profound eyes gazing at her.

Fang Anning quickly said: "Miss you? Of course, I missed you terribly. I’m really happy that you’re here."

As she spoke, she also hugged He Tingchen’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder.

Since he wanted her to miss him, then she would act the part.

Acting, after all, she was quite skilled at it.

Sure enough, she cheered the man up, a faint smile appearing in his deep eyes.

The two returned to the hotel, and as soon as they entered, the man couldn’t wait to press her against the wall.

Fang Anning looked at the impatient man in shock; so missing her was more about missing this sort of thing?

But it made sense, at the prime age of twenty-eight it was normal to have such desires.

Besides, she also wanted to have a child soon, so she could hand over the child and the money, settling all accounts.
