Chapter 895: It Has Nothing to Do with Me
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“So who do you think is the most likely person?” Zhou Chuo deliberately emphasized the last sentence, and his eyes subconsciously drifted to Zhou Xuan, who was standing at the back of the crowd.
“Hmph.” Faced with such blatant framing, Zhou Xuan snorted. He didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate in this dispute, but since Zhou Chuo was framing him like this, there was no need for him to endure it.
Zhou Kuo frowned and was about to defend Zhou Xuan when Zhou Xuan took the initiative to walk forward and stand in front of him.
“Second Uncle, what you said is really good. You directly pushed the responsibility to me.” This nonsense wouldn’t affect Zhou Xuan at all. “However, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, Second Uncle. 1 don’t have any communication tools in my hands during the few days I’ve been grounded. Therefore, it’s very difficult to contact the outside world, let alone plan.”
“Who knows if you secretly kept it or bribed the servants in the house to provide you with equipment?” Zhou Chuo had finally seized this opportunity to continue suppressing him so that he could never return to his position as the head of the Zhou Corporation.
In the past, Zhou Xuan might have cared about their blood ties, but now that he had seen through their true colors, he was no longer soft-hearted.
“Second Uncle, you can rest a.s.sured about this.” Zhou Xuan said coldly, “If 1 really have a communication tool, with my methods, Zhou Feng won’t just be charged with failing to manage the company. I’ll make sure he never dares to touch the position of the head of the company again.”
It was obvious that Zhou Xuan’s words carried a threat. This was because he knew very well that this was the best way to deal with Zhou Chuo. The tougher his att.i.tude was, the more he could shut him up.
“You…” Zhou Chuo really did not expect the usually gentle, humble, and friendly Zhou Xuan to say such a thing. “Brother, look at this. This is the good son you’re so proud of. Saying such words is publicly provoking internal strife in the family. Are you going to sit back and let him indulge like this?”
“Second Uncle, don’t be in a hurry to slander me. I don’t have the slightest intention of starting a fight. Everything 1 do is for the sake of the Zhou family.” In terms of eloquence, Zhou Xuan naturally wouldn’t lose to others. “On the other hand, Second Uncle, in order to help your son absolve himself, you didn’t hesitate to forcefully pin the blame on me. What are your intentions?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two old masters standing at the side finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. There was no point in continuing to argue like this. Since it had already happened, the most important thing was to find a solution.
“Alright, Xuan’er.” Zhou Kuo patted Zhou Xuan’s shoulder gently. “No matter what, he’s still your second uncle. Have you forgotten the rules of the family? You can’t talk to your elders like this.”
“I’m sorry, Father. It’s my fault.” Zhou Xuan cupped his fists and lowered his head slightly, apologizing symbolically. However, everyone present understood that Zhou Xuan was just putting on an act. The relations.h.i.+p between the two of them was officially torn.
From now on, the Zhou family’s dispute would probably not stop. Although the apology was fake, it finally calmed the fight between the two of them. The hall temporarily returned to silence.
“If you have the time, why don’t you think about what to do next?” Third Master’s words broke the silence. “Most of the corporations have suspended their cooperation with us. We can withstand it for the time being. However, if we continue to maintain this state, our Zhou family will lose more than a little.”
However, these questions were not what Zhou Xuan needed to care about at the moment. If he was still the head of the corporation, he would naturally be the first to step forward and solve the problem, but he was only a spectator now.
The worse Zhou Feng handled it, the sooner he would be kicked off the stage.
Right on the heels of that, Zhou Xuan sat at the side, acting as if it had nothing to do with him. He vividly displayed his status as a spectator and watched Zhou Chuo perform to his heart’s content..
