Chapter 982: Brothers Battling Each Other

Yuxiu was still persuaded by Xu Shaochen.

Half-heartedly, she agreed.

She did know that Zhao Chen had a notebook and where it was kept.

She didn’t care about Zhao Chen’s affair, because regardless of how things started, what happened between her and Xu Shaochen was a betrayal of Zhao Chen.

However, Zhao Chen making another woman pregnant was unbearable.

The key point was Zhao Chen had once told her that he didn’t want children.

Now, in the blink of an eye, he’s taking another woman for a prenatal checkup.

Where does that leave her? When a woman decides to seek revenge, it can be terrifying.

For example, right now, a small, black notebook had appeared in Xu Shaochen’s hand.

It contained records of many shady deals.

If this notebook went missing, there would be countless people eager to see Zhao Chen dead.

Night fell.

Zhao Chen received a call from Deng Tianwen.

He said he was willing to negotiate.

Zhao Chen had no choice but to bid farewell to the female teacher and head to the agreed location with Deng Tianwen.

Zhao Chen felt that today was truly a day of double blessings.

First, there was the good news that he was going to have a child, and now the Deng Family wanted to negotiate. It seemed like an all-around win.

He had already made plans. This child would be his heir.

He planned to send the female teacher abroad first. Once she gave birth, she’d be of no further use.

He’d also have Yuxiu disappear for a while, telling others that she was pregnant and staying abroad to rest.

When the time came, he’d publicly hand the child over to Yuxiu to raise. Everything would be perfectly legitimate.

As for that female teacher, in Zhao Chen’s eyes, she was just a tool for having his child.

Once the child was born, her mission would be complete, and her life would end as well.

Zhao Chen would never allow any factors that could influence his child’s future.

Yes, Zhao Chen was this ruthless.

On the surface, he appeared sweet with the female teacher, but in reality, he’d already decided that she was as good as dead.

Unfortunately for him, he had no idea that all of this was a trap. The child in that woman’s belly wasn’t even his.

Twenty minutes later, with joy in his heart, Zhao Chen arrived at the teahouse, where he was to meet Deng Tianwen.

He went to the private room Deng Tianwen had told him about.

When he opened the door, he stood frozen for a moment.

Zhao Fei was there as well.

“Young Master Zhao, come on in. We’ve all been waiting for you.”

Deng Tianwen gave him a glance and said.

“Wha… what is he doing here?”

Zhao Chen pointed at Zhao Fei.

Xu Shaochen smiled slightly: “Today, Zhao Er Shao plays a vital role. Don’t be anxious, you’ll understand shortly.”

Zhao Chen had a bad feeling, but since he was already here, it was impossible to just leave.

He promptly closed the door and sat down across from Zhao Fei.

“Mr. Xu, Deng Shao, I…”

Before Zhao Chen could finish his sentence, Zhao Fei cut him off: “Big Brother, I’ve already negotiated everything before you got here. All of the Deng Family’s properties will be returned, and our Zhao Family will make a substantial cash compensation.”

“What did you just say? How do you have the right to decide that?!”

Zhao Chen exploded, immediately standing up and glaring at Zhao Fei.

In negotiations, you’re supposed to ask for the moon, only to settle for less!

But Zhao Fei made such an absurd offer. How could he not be angry?

“Big Brother, I may not have the right now, but soon I will. Does this look familiar to you?”

Zhao Fei smiled calmly, handing over his Phone.

Zhao Chen’s eyes landed on the screen, and all the color drained from his face. A cold chill ran down his spine.

“T-this… How did you get this? Where did you get it?! Give me that notebook, now!”

Zhao Chen was unable to control his emotions because he knew exactly how important that notebook was.

“Big Brother, just peacefully hand the Zhao Family over to me. I’ll give you a sum of money. Wouldn’t living abroad as a rich man be nice?”

Zhao Fei stayed calm in the face of Zhao Chen’s panic, even with a hint of mockery in his eyes. He felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

You always looked down on me.

How about now? What about now?! Zhao Fei almost couldn’t hold back from laughing out loud.

“Thud!”

It was as if Zhao Chen’s soul had left his body. He collapsed into his chair, and after a while, he hoarsely asked: “How did you get this notebook?”

“It was from Sister-in-Law.” Zhao Fei answered without hesitation and threw a stack of photos on the table in front of Zhao Chen.

Glancing at the photos, Zhao Chen instantly understood.

“The pregnancy… Was that fake, too?”

Zhao Chen’s voice trembled.

“No, that much is real.” Zhao Fei shook his head.

“Whew—”

Zhao Chen let out a sigh of relief. At least he still had a child.

But Zhao Fei’s next words cruelly shattered his illusion.

“The pregnancy is real, but the child isn’t yours. She’s been pregnant for two months. I just bribed the doctor.”

“Pffft—”

Life had gone up and down in an instant. Zhao Chen, overwhelmed by anger, spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Big Brother, I should thank you for always looking down on me. If not for that, how could I have gotten such a good opportunity?”

Zhao Fei grinned sarcastically at Zhao Chen. Though he appeared calm, in truth, his heart was racing, and his hands were gripping the chair so tightly that his knuckles had turned pale.

Zhao Chen gave Zhao Fei a pitying look: “You think you’re clever? You’ll end up being devoured by Deng Tianwen, not even your bones will remain. It’s just a pity, a pity that we’ll both go down together.”

“Shut up!” Zhao Fei was stung by Zhao Chen’s pitying gaze. “Who do you think you are? Do you think you still have the right to lecture me? You’re just a defeated man!”

Zhao Chen remained silent, still looking at Zhao Fei with pity and sarcasm in his eyes.

Zhao Fei clenched his fists, then suddenly laughed as if remembering something: “Oh yes, you’d better hurry and divorce Sister-in-Law. She’s been having a great time with Mr. Xu these days.”

“What did you just say…?!” Zhao Chen’s face turned pale as he stood up once more.

Seeing that his words had hit their mark, Zhao Fei laughed loudly, “What do you think she’s been doing every time she went out ‘to get her hair done’? By the way, I’m the one who drugged her in the first place.”

“You bastard! How could you do something this despicable?!”

Zhao Chen flew into a fury and lunged at Zhao Fei, punching him in the face.

The two brothers immediately began pummeling each other.

Xu Shaochen and Deng Tianwen exchanged a glance as they sipped their tea, quietly enjoying the scene of the brothers tearing each other apart.

“Fight! Keep fighting! Even if you kill me, it won’t change the fact that you’re a loser, and I’m the one who won!”

Since Zhao Fei’s arms had been injured before, he was no match for Zhao Chen physically. But his words and taunting eyes were his most powerful weapons.
