Chapter 261: Humiliation from a Slap
Ye Wanqing smiled slyly and tilted her head slightly to look at Lin Xuan: "Didn't they say that the restaurant's location has been arranged? Why, Mr. Lin, still wants to have a 'parting kiss' here?"
Lin Xuan smiled helplessly. He knew that Ye Wanqing was teasing him on purpose, but he felt sweet in his heart.
"I just think you're so cute, I can't help but want to get close to you. But you're right, we really should go enjoy the food. Are you hungry?"
Ye Wanqing blinked, a mischievous smile curling up the corners of her mouth: "I'm a little hungry, but what's hungrier is your heart, right?"
Lin Xuan's heart warmed at what she said. He reached out and gently grasped her wrist, pulling her up from the chair. "Let's go, my princess, let's go and taste the delicious food that Secretary Zhao has carefully selected."
The two of them walked into the restaurant and were respectfully led by the waiter to their reserved private room. The room was soundproofed, and the outside noise seemed to be isolated, leaving only the warm time for the two of them.
At the same time, Zhang Duoer was sitting in a cafe, nervously waiting for Zhang Qing's arrival.
She had just tried to contact some old classmates through social media, hoping to dig up some information about Ye Wanqing's past, but before she could gain any results, Zhang Qing's call was like a thunderclap, shattering her plan.
Zhang Duoer looked at the word "sister" on the phone screen and felt a chill in her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Qing was like an insurmountable mountain to her, and every decision she made was full of unquestionable authority.
"Hey, sister..." There was a hint of trembling in Zhang Duoer's voice.
"Let's meet in the evening. I'll send you the address." Zhang Qing's voice was cold and direct, leaving no room for Zhang Duoer to refute.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Duoer sat in the cafe with a heavy heart. It was not until nightfall that she arrived at the restaurant designated by Zhang Qing in advance.
She sat at her reserved table and the waiter asked her if she wanted a drink. She shook her head, feeling uneasy.
Soon, Zhang Qing walked into the restaurant wearing a wine-red slim-fitting dress, exquisite makeup, and an elegant bun. Her aura was so strong that Zhang Duoer unconsciously shrank her shoulders.
"Sister..." Zhang Duoer's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
Zhang Qing walked straight to the table and sat down, looking at Zhang Duoer with a sharp gaze: "What have you been busy with recently?"
Zhang Duoer felt uneasy when she looked at her, and the menu in her hand was almost crumpled by her: "No, I'm not busy, just doing a live broadcast at home."
Zhang Qing sneered, "You didn't do anything? Then why did Miss Ye call me and ask me to discipline you?"
Zhang Duoer's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She didn't know why Ye Wanqing found Zhang Qing, and she didn't know how to explain it.
At this time, the waiter came over to pour tea. Feeling the tense atmosphere, he quickly poured the tea and left.
Zhang Duoer lowered her head, her voice almost crying: "She and I are classmates, I just want to keep in touch with her."
"Keep in touch? Do you need Lin Xuan's secretary to call you personally to warn you?" Zhang Qing's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.
Zhang Duoer didn't dare to say anything more. She knew she had gotten into big trouble this time. She put down the menu, folded her hands on her knees, lowered her head, and didn't dare look at Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing looked at her like this, and her anger grew even stronger. "It's okay if you don't want to live, but don't forget that our Zhang family hasn't had a good life yet. Don't think I don't know what you've done."
Zhang Duo'er's body trembled slightly. She didn't dare to refute or defend herself. She knew that in front of Zhang Qing, she would always be the little sister who needed to be disciplined.
Zhang Qing picked up the menu, ordered a few dishes, then put it down and looked at Zhang Duoer again: "I've already warned you. If you don't obey, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhang Duoer nodded repeatedly: "I understand, sister."
However, at this moment, her phone suddenly vibrated. She glanced at the screen and saw a reply from a classmate about some past events of Ye Wanqing.
Zhang Qing's sharp eyes caught this scene, and her face darkened instantly.
"Is this what you call 'knowing'?" Zhang Qing's voice was filled with anger and disappointment.
Zhang Duo'er's face turned even paler, and she shook her head repeatedly: "No, sister, I didn't mean to do anything. I was just... just curious."
Zhang Duoer herself didn't know what she was saying. She just wanted to explain, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. She knew that this incident had made Zhang Qing even more disappointed in her.
Zhang Qing curled her lips into a sneer, the coldness in that smile seemed to be able to freeze everything. Then, she raised her arm without hesitation, and a loud slap echoed in the empty restaurant, like the sudden sound of ice cracking in winter.
"Pa--" This crisp and decisive sound instantly attracted the attention of all the diners around. They all looked at him with surprise and curiosity, trying to explore the source of this sudden storm.
Zhang Qing's voice was deep and powerful, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with unquestionable determination:
"Zhang Duo'er, I hope this slap will make you completely sober. If you still stubbornly refuse to repent, then from now on, the door of our Zhang family will be forever closed to you, and you will no longer be a member of our Zhang family!"
After saying this, Zhang Qing turned around, her back looking particularly resolute under the light. Her figure gradually faded away, leaving behind a coldness on the ground and Zhang Duo'er trembling.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Duoer seemed to have been stripped of all her dignity. Her cheeks were burning with pain, and her heart was filled with unprecedented humiliation and embarrassment.
Facing Zhang Qing, she never had the idea of resisting, because Zhang Qing not only controlled her economic lifeline, but also had an authority that she could not surpass.
Zhang Duoer's mind kept echoing with Zhang Qing's words, and her resentment towards Ye Wanqing grew like wild weeds. She never imagined that Ye Wanqing would so easily provoke Zhang Qing's anger and make her come forward to teach her a lesson.
At this moment, Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan happened to walk out slowly from the private room on the second floor. Their figures looked particularly harmonious under the soft light.
Ye Wanqing immediately saw Zhang Duoer covering her cheek with a panicked look. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Ye Wanqing did not intend to say hello actively. She gently took Lin Xuan's arm and prepared to leave.
However, Zhang Duoer suddenly turned around at this moment. Her eyes paused slightly when they met Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan, as if she was pricked by something, but soon she returned to normal and hurried back to get her bag.
Zhang Duoer's heart was filled with confusion and anger. She didn't understand why Ye Wanqing appeared here. Was she doing this on purpose to make fun of her?
This thought coiled around her heart like a poisonous snake, making her feel even more embarrassed and angry.
Ye Wanqing didn't know that Zhang Qing had taken such a quick and decisive action. She called Zhang Qing in the afternoon, but she didn't expect that Zhang Qing would make an appointment with Zhang Duoer in the evening.
Ye Wanqing didn't care how Zhang Qing disciplined Zhang Duoer. She just hoped that Zhang Duoer could restrain her crazy entanglement so that she could live a peaceful life.
When Ye Wanqing got into the car and looked through the windshield at Zhang Duoer who hurried out, there was not much emotion in her heart.
However, when Zhang Duoer suddenly stopped and turned back to cast a resentful look at her, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but slightly curl her lips and gave her a gentle and sincere smile.
To Zhang Duoer, that smile seemed like a mockery and provocation. She almost couldn't help but smash the phone in her hand at Ye Wanqing.
However, when she saw Lin Xuan's cold and majestic face, she finally held back. She knew that now was not the time to confront Ye Wanqing head-on. Sooner or later, she would have to settle this account with Ye Wanqing!
