Upon hearing Zhang Yin's words, Father Zhang's expression softened slightly, but he still harbored some doubt. "You really don't know about this?"
Zhang Yin said calmly, "Dad, you know what kind of person I am. I only just found out about today's events. If I had known beforehand, I definitely would have tried to stop it." But stopping it was impossible; it would only have made more people aware of it.
I know exactly what kind of person you brought back after abandoning your first wife.
Zhang Yin not only enjoys watching other people's lively gatherings, but also enjoys watching the lively gatherings at home.
Father Zhang stared at Zhang Yin for a few seconds, seemingly judging the truthfulness of his words, and finally nodded. "Alright, I'll believe you for now. However, this matter must be investigated thoroughly; we can't just let it go like this."
Zhang Yin sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly respectful. "Of course, this matter not only concerns the reputation of our Zhang Family, but also involves the Jin Family. We need to handle it with caution..."
The mention of the Jin Family ignited Father Zhang's anger again. He looked at his Old Master Zhang, "Dad, no matter how close you are to Old Master Jin, we can't listen to you this time. Look at all these years, they still look down on us! Jin Renwei can say such things; that's probably how Old Master Jin raised him!"
Old Master Zhang sat silently to the side, but his eyes revealed deep thought. He understood that Zhang Yin's words were not without reason. Today's events may seem to be Jin Renwei's personal actions, but in fact, they also represent the Jin Family's attitude towards the Zhang Family all along.
" Zhang Yin, what are your thoughts?" Old Master Zhang finally spoke, his voice deep and authoritative.
Zhang Yin bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Grandpa, I think we should make a clean break. Jin Renwei's fondness for married women will become common knowledge in the entire upper-class circle within a night. If you are ruthless enough to cut off all cooperation, you can deal a heavy blow to the Jin Family."
Seeing his son on his side, Father Zhang's expression softened. " A-Yin is right. Not only that, I will also keep the powerful families we have allies away from the Jin Family!"
The Zhang Family has good relationships and connections, so for the Jin Family to offend the Zhang Family at this time is undoubtedly making enemies for themselves.
Old Master Zhang nodded. "You're right. I'll personally deal with the Jin Family. You go and handle Auntie Yao's matter; make sure you get to the bottom of it."
Zhang Yin responded and turned to leave, heading to Yao Feixue's room. With her usual smile, Zhang Yin said, " Auntie Yao, I suggest you tell me everything that happened so I can plead with Dad on your behalf."
Yao Feixue, who had been huddled timidly in the corner, suddenly stood up when Zhang Yin entered. She had lost all face; she could never be the same as before... Many people would surely laugh at her.
And the mastermind behind all of this must be Zhang Yin!
She was now blinded by rage, her face contorted as she tried to scratch Zhang Yin's face.
Zhang Yin easily dodged her, then grabbed her shoulder with great force and pressed her down. The servants behind him immediately stepped forward and tied Yao Feixue to a chair.
" Auntie Yao, please calm down. I didn't do this, and besides, I don't have time. I'm usually busy filming on set, I don't even have time to eat. And how could you scratch my face, the thing I use to make a living?" Zhang Yin frowned slightly, not very happy. "Besides, you've been good to me all these years, I have no reason to harm you, right?"
As Yao Feixue was tied up, she gradually calmed down. What Zhang Yin said was true. If Zhang Yin wanted to drive her out of the Zhang Family, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?
Zhang Yin's quiet and unassuming approach to the entertainment industry over the years is the best proof of this, isn't it?
Yao Feixue eventually told Zhang Yin the whole story.
Zhang Yin after learning the truth. "..."
He hadn't expected that the Ji Family was involved.
Zhang Yin thought for a moment, then spoke to Yao Feixue gently, " Auntie Yao, you were used by Jin Renwei. Although he made promises to you, he also wanted to push you into the abyss. Those people at the banquet tonight weren't brought to your lounge by me. They seemed to have heard some news and rushed up there on their own."
Yao Feixue was taken aback. "Are you serious?"
Zhang Yin nodded. "Of course, Jin Renwei wanted you and Ji Wangyan to be caught, but he ended up losing out and even using you instead."
Seeing her stepson Zhang Yin's calm expression, not blaming her for such a serious incident but instead being very polite to her, Yao Feixue sniffed, her eyes reddening. " A-Yin, I'm so sorry for what I did before..."
" Auntie Yao, don't worry, maybe things will be fine once Dad's anger subsides."
Zhang Yin's words seemed to have a magical power, making Yao Feixue believe them without a doubt.
She has indeed made a mistake, and although she is unrepentant, there's nothing she can do right now; going out will only bring her ridicule...
After Zhang Yin left, he quickly figured everything out. Now all that was left was to cover for the Ji Family and check the video for any clues that might give them away, then delete them if possible.
Who would have thought he'd have a day where he could win without lifting a finger?
The incident began when Zhang Yin sent the compiled video and documents to his Father Zhang. After learning about it, Father Zhang thought about it all night. Fortunately, Ji Wangyan unintentionally declined the drink, otherwise this matter might not have ended today.
Yao Feixue is still Zhang Family. If she offends the Ji Family, the Zhang Family will likely find it difficult to move forward in the future, since they are both in City A and are neighbors.
The Jin Family is different; it was thanks to Jin Renwei's foolishness that the Zhang Family became the complete victim.
He was really furious today, but thankfully his son Zhang Yin was calm and sensible. He not only comforted the whole family but also took charge of cleaning up after the banquet, handling everything in an orderly manner.
He remained gentle and polite even to a stepmother with numerous faults.
On the contrary, Yao Feixue's son is always causing trouble and getting into trouble, and even after being sent abroad, he is still the same.
Father Zhang already knew who would inherit the company.
Zhang Yin followed his lead; he was patient and capable of handling things.
That evening, Father Zhang summoned a lawyer and gifted Zhang Yin 6% of the Zhang Corporation's shares, paving the way for his future entry into the company.
As for Yao Feixue and her son, it's good enough that he hasn't killed them yet. He's been cuckolded so badly, and it's become common knowledge!
the next day
The Zhang Family has already made their stance clear: even if it means breaching the contract, they will sever the cooperation. Although it would be a lose-lose situation, the Zhang Family, as the supplier, has good connections and resources, and they will quickly find a partner.
The Jin Family's Jin Group has been expanding rapidly over the years, with numerous subsidiaries of all sizes to support. Many of the company's collaborations are related to the Zhang Family. This sudden loss of an arm has dealt a heavy blow to their strength.
The reason the Zhang Family was so sincere was that they paid very little in breach of contract penalty.
This time, they really suffered a major setback.
And the one who ultimately orchestrated all of this was Jin Renwei.
Jin Renwei was tormented by the drug administered by his own people, and when he woke up, he was beaten by Old Master Jin with a scepter.
"Fool! Do you know how much trouble you've caused the Jin Family! I told you to be careful! And you've already been outsmarted!"
