Zhao Huaiyuan frowned, "Isn't this a bit much?"
Lin Chen's meaning was that he had to beat up Zhao Tianyou, to the point where his son would be laid up in the hospital for half a month.
Lin Chen said, "Deputy General Manager Zhao, the son is yours. Whether you educate him or not is your business. If you don't educate him, someone will naturally educate him for you later."
"Isn't Zhao Tianyou going abroad?"
"Abroad isn't as safe as it is here in our country. Uncle Xu and I faced a shooting incident in America this time."
Xu Guofeng sighed, "Abroad is indeed much more dangerous. Old Zhao, you should educate your son if it's necessary."
"Tianyou is a bit rash in his actions."
Zhao Huaiyuan: "..."
Lin Chen and Xu Guofeng were playing good cop, bad cop.
Zhao Huaiyuan took a deep breath. "Brother Xu, you're right. It's definitely not as safe abroad as it is here." "We should definitely give them a good talking-to." "I'll be going then."
Lin Chen said, "Vice President Zhao, remember to let me know which hospital and which ward. I'll go visit tomorrow."
"Okay."
Zhao Huaiyuan left with a wooden expression.
He was so depressed he wanted to spit blood. He'd originally wanted to ally with other forces to target the Xu Family, but he hadn't expected the relationship between the Xu Family and the Xu Family and Zhao Family to strengthen again. This was awkward. The other forces weren't stupid; everyone wanted to pick on the easy targets. The Xu Family's situation made them a less desirable target. Instead of picking on the Xu Family, it would be better to find other, softer targets.
Zhao Huaiyuan wasn't stupid either. In this situation, his best choice wasn't to confront the Xu Family head-on, but to compromise.
It was just that this time, he'd suffered a greater loss than he'd anticipated.
He originally thought that he could just step down, but he didn't expect to lose his voting rights as well; the losses were incalculable.
And he'd have to beat his son when he got back.
"Tianyou probably needs a good lesson, otherwise, he might cause me trouble in the future."
Zhao Huaiyuan grew angrier the more he thought about it as he rode in the car.
Back home, Zhao Huaiyuan saw Zhao Tianyou playing a game, shouting and yelling, and spewing all sorts of profanities.
Zhao Huaiyuan took out his belt.
"Slap!"
He rushed over and started whipping him fiercely.
"Ah!"
Zhao Tianyou screamed in pain, "Dad, are you crazy? Why are you hitting me?"
"What time is it, and you're still playing games? And even if you're playing, where did you learn all those dirty words?"
Zhao Huaiyuan continued to whip him fiercely.
Zhao Tianyou dodged while yelling, "Dad, I'm an adult now, why are you still hitting me with a belt?"
"I'm hitting you because I can."
Zhao Huaiyuan roared.
Zhao Tianyou had drunk a little alcohol in the evening, and being hit like this, his temper flared up. He rushed forward and started hitting Zhao Huaiyuan back.
"Rebellious, rebellious!"
Zhao Huaiyuan's anger was off the charts.
Holding a belt in his hand, he kept whipping. Zhao Tianyou, young and strong, didn't back down, and they wrestled together.
Before long, the bodyguards outside heard the commotion and rushed in.
"Catch him."
Zhao Huaiyuan ordered.
The bodyguards who rushed in quickly subdued Zhao Tianyou. Zhao Tianyou was like a little chick in front of professional bodyguards.
"You're going against the heavens!"
Zhao Huaiyuan roared, blood streaming from his nose.
He'd taken a punch to the nose and another to the face.
"Smack, smack!"
The belt in Zhao Huaiyuan's hand whipped down hard on Zhao Tianyou.
"Ah!"
Zhao Tianyou screamed in agony.
But no neighbors heard the commotion. There wasn't even anyone to call the police. The Zhao Family's was a detached villa, and the nearest neighbors were dozens of meters away. The house was well-soundproofed, too.
"Dad, I was wrong."
"I was wrong."
Zhao Tianyou begged for mercy after being whipped more than a dozen times.
But Zhao Huaiyuan didn't stop immediately. A son hitting his father? That was unheard of. Today, he had to teach Zhao Tianyou about family discipline.
"Hold him down!"
Zhao Huaiyuan said in a low voice.
He went to the kitchen and brought back a bag of salt, which he sprinkled on the ground.
"Dad, what are you going to do?" "Dad, I was wrong, I really was wrong!" Zhao Tianyou shouted in fear. Zhao Huaiyuan had already wet the belt in the kitchen, and the belt was covered in salt.
"Smack!" "Smack!"
The belt landed on his body, and Zhao Tianyou deeply felt the heavy, burning love from his father.
After another twenty or thirty lashes, Zhao Huaiyuan finally stopped.
Zhao Tianyou looked miserable.
He'd probably need to stay in the hospital for ten days, maybe even half a month, considering his condition.
"You remember this beating, got it? If you dare to mess around again, it won't be just this simple beating."
Zhao Huaiyuan said sternly.
Zhao Tianyou: "..."
He didn't think today's beating was simple at all.
Just now, he thought his father was going to beat him to death.
"Give him a shower and then send him to the hospital!"
Zhao Huaiyuan instructed.
The bodyguard brought Zhao Tianyou to the bathroom.
"Ah!"
Zhao Tianyou screamed again.
"Young master, bear with it. You need to wash off the salt."
The bodyguard said.
Lin Chen didn't know the Zhao Family was putting on such a big show.
He finished his shower and went to the guest bedroom.
Lin Xiaoxi and Xu Mengyao were sleeping in Xu Mengyao's room.
Not immediately going to sleep, Lin Chen leaned against the headboard, scrolling through his phone.
"Click."
Half an hour later, Xu Mengyao slowly opened the door.
"Honey, you're not asleep yet?"
Xu Mengyao walked in, carrying a large glass of warm water.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao: "I'll sleep in a little while. If I sleep now, I'll have to get up to go to the bathroom soon."
"Is Xiaoxi asleep?"
Xu Mengyao nodded. "Yes, she is. She wanted you to tell her a story, but I said Daddy wasn't feeling well because he drank too much, so she went to sleep quietly."
"Honey, even if you can drink, try to drink less in the future."
Lin Chen nodded. "No problem." "I don't drink much normally, but I guess I'll have to drink at the wedding." A shy look appeared on Xu Mengyao's face. She said, "Honey, when will your parents be coming? We need to go to the airport to pick them up."
"I booked their tickets for the day after tomorrow,"
Lin Chen said.
Xu Mengyao nodded. "Does your head hurt? Let me rub it for you? When my dad has a headache from drinking too much, my mom massages him, and it makes him feel better."
"It hurts, it hurts a lot."
Lin Chen hurried to say.
He had to act like he was in pain right now; anyone who wasn't was a fool.
Soon, Xu Mengyao gently began to massage Lin Chen.
It had to be said, this massage felt quite comfortable.
"Husband, after this, the crisis our family faced has been greatly eased. We probably won't be bothered by anyone for the time being."
"Are you still going to open your private kitchen?"
Xu Mengyao asked.
Lin Chen: "Of course I'm opening it. Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. This time, it was mainly because of the Xu Family's face. Entrusting our safety to just one family isn't a wise move."
Zhao Jingshou also supported it, but the Zhao Family wasn't as strong as the Xu Family.
Moreover, the Zhao Family had previously supported the Xu Family.
This time, it was mainly due to the Xu Family's influence.
After pressing it for a while, Xu Mengyao left.
In the middle of the night, she came over twice to check on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen, having practiced Ancient Martial Arts Tai Chi, was very alert. He heard some movement both times Xu Mengyao came over.
A night passed.
"Daddy."
Lin Xiaoxi came to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen sat up; the alcohol in his body had mostly metabolized.
"Xixi, come on, Daddy will hold you."
Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoxi onto the bed.
Lin Xiaoxi kissed Lin Chen: "Daddy, you can't drink so much alcohol anymore, or I'll worry about you."
"If you die, I won't have a daddy anymore."
Lin Chen: "…"
