Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Complete Fallout

Zhang Tiande’s face changed suddenly, his gaze darkening as he looked at Zhang Yang.

He hadn’t expected Zhang Yang to really know about it. Damn it, how much exactly did Zhang Yang know?

Besides, who had told Zhang Yang about this matter?

But with Zhang Yang threatening him like that, Zhang Tiande indeed couldn’t force Xiao Man to break up with Zhang Yang anymore.

Additionally, Zhang Tiande was aware that he, as a father, indeed hadn’t paid much attention to his daughter Xiao Man.

However, Zhang Tiande didn’t feel there was anything wrong with this, especially now, he felt even more that he shouldn’t be too good to this daughter.

With a boyfriend like this, once they really got married in the future, she would belong to someone else’s family, water that has been poured away.

Yet, Zhang Tiande couldn’t bear to watch Zhang Yang being so smug, with Zhang Yang actually disobeying his words.

The most important thing was, if he wanted to see Han Zhongren for medical treatment, he needed to go through the Provincial Hospital.

Originally, Zhang Tiande had obtained some news from somewhere, learning that Han Zhongren was going to stay in the city, and it was very likely that he would join the best hospital in the province.

Hence, in Zhang Tiande’s view, the best hospital should be the Provincial Hospital.

This was why he sought out Qi Haili, even revealing in front of Qi Haili that Zhang Yang was his future son-in-law.

He wanted to close the gap between them. Although Zhang Tiande was wealthy, wealthier people aspire to find better doctors.

As soon as Qi Haili heard it, he became interested.

And successfully fooled Zhang Tiande, making Zhang Tiande order Zhang Yang to come and apologize, even promising Zhang Tiande that if Zhang Yang apologized, he would have Han Zhongren treat him.

What Zhang Tiande didn’t know was that Han Zhongren followed Zhang Yang’s lead; wherever Zhang Yang went, Han Zhongren would go there.

Qi Haili had played a masterstroke.

But it could only be said that Zhang Tiande’s information was somewhat out of date, having fallen for Qi Haili’s trap.

Or to put it another way, Zhang Tiande would never believe that Zhang Yang, whom he looked down upon, could know Han Zhongren.

This was what led to today’s events.

Zhang Tiande, in order to cure his own illness down there, also went to great pains.

Therefore, it was even less likely for him to give up such a rare opportunity, seeing Zhang Yang’s outright refusal, Zhang Tiande forced himself to calm down.

Since intimidation didn’t work, it could only be temptation.

All of a sudden, Zhang Tiande’s expression eased, "Ah, look at the expression on your faces now, you’ve all misunderstood me, I genuinely want what’s best for Zhang Yang."

"Zhang Yang, I know you are young and vigorous, so you refuse to bow your head and apologize."

"But a great man can bend and stretch, for one’s future, one should bow when it’s necessary; it’s not shameful."

"Here’s what we’ll do, Uncle won’t let you suffer. You apologize, and Uncle will give you five thousand yuan as a reward."

Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Tiande in astonishment. Aren’t you a millionaire? How could you have the nerve to offer only five thousand yuan?

"No need, Uncle Zhang, keep the money for refueling your car instead."

Zhang Tiande almost couldn’t suppress his anger, "What? Is it too little? Fine, twenty thousand yuan."

"Think about it, just for an apology, you get twenty thousand yuan. Where in the world could you find such a good deal?"

Zhang Yang was completely speechless, "Uncle Zhang, I believe more that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and Xiao Man said she doesn’t want to take a penny from you."

"What does Xiao Man mean with her statement? What does ’not taking a penny from me’ mean?"

"Didn’t Xia Xue take the money when Aunt Yun gave her some before?"

Hearing Zhang Tiande’s words, Chen Yun immediately spoke up, "Xiao Man earned her own college tuition and living expenses. I occasionally give her some spending money, and I want to emphasize that it’s from me, not your money, so of course, Xiao Man would take it."

"Zhang Tiande, honestly, I don’t even know how you had the nerve to say to Xiao Man to break up earlier."

"You hardly take care of her, so what gives you the right to meddle in her love life?"

"After graduating from university, Xiao Man and I hardly had any money, so we turned to Xia Xue for help, and we never asked you for a dime, right?"

"So, please, recognize how you’ve treated your daughter. You haven’t done as much for her as I, her stepmother, have."

Chen Yun herself didn’t want to say these things to Zhang Tiande, especially in front of others.

But today, she had truly been infuriated by Zhang Tiande’s arrogance and egotism.

"I... How could I possibly not give Xiao Man any money?"

Zhang Tiande obviously felt a bit guilty.

"Is that so? Then tell me, when did you last give money to Xiao Man?"

"Did you give her any during her university days?"

"All you gave Xiao Man was a saying, ’Adults need to have the self-awareness of adults and cannot always depend on their family."

Zhang Tiande immediately took out his phone to check the transfer records to Xiao Man.

He found that the last time he had sent a red envelope to Xiao Man was when she was admitted to university, five hundred yuan, and he hadn’t given her anything since.

"I... I thought you would give?" Zhang Tiande wouldn’t admit his own fault and directly shifted the blame onto Chen Yun’s shoulders.

"Of course, I would give. Small red envelopes, Xiao Man would accept, but if it’s more than that, she would refuse. Do you know why?"

Zhang Tiande’s face grew even uglier; he certainly knew why.

It was because she didn’t want to feel indebted to him; she did it on purpose to show him.

But Zhang Tiande still didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with him, "As an adult, being independent and strong is good, that’s how a daughter of Zhang Tiande should be."

"Heh, is that so? Then why doesn’t your son need to be independent and strong? In four years of university, you must have given him over a million, right?"

"After that, he went abroad to study, and that was several millions more."

"At that time, why didn’t you talk about being independent and strong?"

Now, Chen Yun wasn’t giving Zhang Tiande any face at all.

But Zhang Tiande still defiantly said, "Boys need to save face when they are outside; naturally, they have to spend more."

"Fine, how you treat your children is your own business, and I have no right to interfere with your money."

"Similarly, you have no right to interfere with Xiao Man’s life now."

Chen Yun was straightforward in making her point.

Zhang Tiande’s expression darkened, he was having trouble hiding his embarrassment, "Alright, Zhang Yang, I’m asking you one last time, are you going to apologize or not?"

"I’m not!" Zhang Yang refused decisively.

"Fine, but don’t regret it later," Zhang Tiande stormed off in a fit of rage.

However, the threatening tone laced with warning in his voice as he left also made Zhang Yang frown.

Chen Yun also spoke indignantly, "He’s becoming more and more excessive."

Xia Xue nodded in deep agreement, "Uncle Zhang’s favoritism towards boys really is speechless, and it’s Xiao Man who suffers."

At that moment, Zhang Yang said, "Xiao Man has long since come to terms with it, having you all being kind to her is enough."

Zhang Yang knew Xiao Man better than anyone and was clearer about how many times Xiao Man had cried when they had worked part-time jobs together during university.

"Aunt Yun, I’m sorry for causing you to argue with Uncle Zhang," Zhang Yang said.

Chen Yun immediately gave Zhang Yang a white look, this kid did it on purpose.
