Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120
Zhang Yang’s words left Zhao Xiaotang momentarily stunned.
Zhang Yang suddenly felt the opposing force against him abruptly loosen.
The next second, Zhang Yang seized the opportunity, exerted sudden force, and pulled Zhao Xiaotang up.
Zhang Yang had never felt this exhausted even when facing a hundred opponents; when someone genuinely seeks death, it truly is heavy, impossible to pull back.
Fortunately, he finally succeeded, and Zhang Yang felt proud of himself, relieved as he let out a sigh.
Xu Mengyan and others quickly surrounded Zhao Xiaotang, while Chen Yun shut the window, standing guard to prevent Zhao Xiaotang from any further attempts at jumping.
But Zhao Xiaotang remained silent, only looking at Zhang Yang stubbornly.
After a moment of calming down, Zhang Yang started to angrily scold Zhao Xiaotang, “Are you sick? How can such a small issue lead you to jump?”
“What’s wrong with being a bit selfish? Since your mom doesn’t even treat you as a person, why do you care?”
“Just let them be; see if they truly dare to die.”
“Even if they do, so what? It is their choice. If it weren’t for signing that agreement, would they end up ?”
“You idiot, brainless woman; your death would only give them more joy.”
“Besides, didn’t you say your beauty salon has limitless prospects, with future assets reaching a trillion level? Why not focus on your career?”
“Start your own Zhao Family, won’t that be enough?”
Zhang Yang scolded Zhao Xiaotang thoroughly.
Even so, he wasn’t satisfied, so he grabbed Zhao Xiaotang’s hair and questioned her from above, “Speak, do you still want to die?”
Zhao Xiaotang slightly shook her head, surprisingly responding to Zhang Yang, making the few women present feel dumbfounded.
It seemed Zhang Yang had scared her.
However, at that moment, Zhao Xiaotang suddenly asked, “Did you mean it when you said you’d take care of me?”
With these words, Xu Mengyan and the others immediately looked at Zhang Yang.
What did Zhang Yang shout earlier? It seems he actually said something about taking care of her.
Could it be that Zhao Xiaotang gave up on suicide because of that statement? No way, Zhao Xiaotang is a career-driven strong woman; she wouldn’t rely on a man to support her.
Zhao Xiaotang stared intently at Zhang Yang, waiting for his response, clearly showing that if he didn’t answer well, she might jump again.
Zhang Yang was about to ask if she was sick but was quickly silenced by Xu Mengyan, knowing it was crucial not to provoke Zhao Xiaotang now.
Xu Mengyan then said to Zhao Xiaotang, “Don’t worry, Zhang Yang has always kept his word. As long as we have food to eat, you’ll have soup to drink.”
“But don’t get too complacent; here we rank by seniority, and you’re the youngest.”
Xu Mengyan felt slightly sheepish saying that because she didn’t know her own rank, but Zhao Xiaotang was definitely the last, without a doubt.
Surprisingly, Zhao Xiaotang nodded in agreement even with that.
Then, she politely said to Xia Xue and Shen Mange, “Hello, sisters, your younger sister greets you.”
Xia Xue and Chen Yun were surprised by how quickly Zhao Xiaotang adapted to the role.
Calling them ‘sisters’ even made them feel a bit embarrassed.
Now, they seriously doubted if Zhao Xiaotang was overstimulated, affecting her mental state.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t wise to provoke Zhao Xiaotang further, so to stabilize her emotions, Xu Mengyan and Xia Xue responded to Zhao Xiaotang.
To Zhang Yang, it seemed unusually harmonious, which left him a bit overwhelmed with favor.
Zhang Yang realized Zhao Xiaotang’s state was odd but chose not to get involved for now.
Once she calms down, she should leave quietly, so for now, he decided to address the two troubles on the side first.
When Zhang Yang turned back, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, as were the others.
At this moment, Guo Hailong was striding toward Mrs. Zhao, with a ferocious expression, while clutching his crotch.
It looked like he intended to kill Mrs. Zhao.
“What just happened between them?” Zhang Yang asked, as he genuinely missed it.
It felt like missing a billion-dollar event; it seemed exciting.
But Xu Mengyan and the others were focused on Zhao Xiaotang earlier, so they too were unsure.
At that moment, Li Yun’er, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, “Earlier, when Zhao Xiaotang was about to jump, Mrs. Zhao went crazy and lunged at Guo Hailong, seemingly ready to fight him to death.”
“Right, Guo Hailong was watching Zhao Xiaotang jump, mocking her with sarcastic comments, which enraged Mrs. Zhao.”
“Guo Hailong isn’t one to back down; he nearly killed Mrs. Zhao, but crucially, Mrs. Zhao seemed to hit Guo Hailong’s weak spot.”
“Next thing you know, that’s what you see now, Guo Hailong is recovering a bit and is seeking revenge.”
Listening to Li Yuner’s explanation, the group finally understood what had happened.
It really was lively; right after Zhao Xiaotang’s attempt, these two started fighting, unexpectedly.
Yet, it was strangely satisfying.
Zhao Xiaotang’s expression was cold, her gaze icy as she watched Guo Hailong slowly approach Mrs. Zhao.
That chilling gaze was terrifying, but she showed no intention to stop or help.
This made Zhang Yang and the others feel that Zhao Xiaotang was a bit off. For original chapters go to NoveIＦire.net
Just then, Guo Hailong stomped on Mrs. Zhao’s chest, ruthlessly grinding down.
Notably, Mrs. Zhao’s clothes were already torn to shreds by Guo Hailong.
The ragged upper garment barely covered much.
Guo Hailong stepped forcefully on the soft part and grinded down harshly, even seeing it hurt, not to mention Mrs. Zhao’s screams.
Upon seeing this, Xu Mengyan and the others were enraged, though they felt Mrs. Zhao deserved it, seeing a woman humiliated so was unsettling.
“Enough, what man bullies a woman?” Zhang Yang was also disgusted, admonishing Guo Hailong.
Though he too hit Mrs. Zhao earlier, there was a difference between beating and degrading.
Guo Hailong sneered at Zhang Yang, saying, “What I do is none of your business. Who do you think you are?”
“Stop meddling in my affairs, okay? Either take Zhao Xiaotang away, or deal with your business here, I have no qualms, just don’t meddle in mine.”
