My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 203 Straight Against Old Master Dong

The old man of the Dong family, who is also Miss Dong's grandfather, is a very serious person who doesn't smile.

When I looked at him, I found that he was also staring at me.

It was probably because the driver's voice was a bit loud when he was introducing things at the door that it caught his attention.

The way he looked at me was a little strange.

When I met his gaze, I immediately gave him a polite, faint smile.

Hearing the surrounding chatter, I realized that this was Miss Dong's homecoming banquet.

However, I didn't see Miss Dong during my rounds, but I did see her newlywed husband.

I've heard Song Yafei talk about the old man from the Dong family. Although he's getting old, he hasn't really let go yet, and he still holds the power in the board of directors.

He had several sons, but none of them were particularly outstanding.

I saw Mr. Dong call a waiter over and whisper a few words to him.

Soon, the waiter appeared beside me and led me to the table that had been arranged for me.

They probably didn't expect me to come; it was an unexpected situation, but they had to give Song Yafei face.

They had no choice but to arrange a seat for me at the last minute.

However, I did not follow his instructions, refused the waiter's lead, pushed him aside, and went straight to Mr. Dong.

As expected of a shrewd businessman, Mr. Dong remained remarkably calm even when facing me, with a forced smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

They knew my identity at our first meeting, so they must have investigated me thoroughly.

He wanted to be polite to me, but I didn't.

Moreover, the bodyguard said that Song Yafei brought me here today to vent her anger, and she deliberately made me appear at the venue alone early.

The meaning is obvious.

Without waiting for Mr. Dong's instructions or paying attention to his polite greetings, I pulled out a chair and sat down next to him.

"The old man knows my identity very well, so he must also know very well why I am here today."

Of course he understood, otherwise his expression wouldn't have changed so quickly.

Old Master Dong's face was very unpleasant, his brows were furrowed, and he even looked to both sides cautiously, lowering his voice.

"Today is the homecoming banquet for the Dong and Xu families. Whatever Mr. Zhang wants to do, please wait until after the banquet so we can discuss it further."

Wait?

Why should he make me wait?

When I decided to stand in front of him, I never thought about waiting.

Moreover, what right does a perpetrator have to make demands?

What are you waiting for?

Once everything is over, will Lin Qiuran be left alone in her hospital bed, facing an uncertain future?

I crossed my legs without a care in the world, and I think my expression and words were more arrogant than ever before.

Because at this point, I was already prepared to go all out.

"What does the old man want me to wait for? For Lin Qiuran to die, and then for the Dong and Xu families to act like nothing happened, and all this will be over?"

"Since Mr. Dong knows me, he must also know my personality. I am not a troublemaker."

"But today, for the sake of my brother whose fate is unknown, I must seek justice."

Mr. Dong is a man of high rank and great power, and he has probably never been treated like this by a junior before.

When I showed him no mercy, his expression immediately turned ugly.

If what happened before was restraint, then what happens now is anger.

He slammed his cane on the ground, his feigned politeness gone, replaced by pure anger.

"Even your CEO Song has to give me some face when he sees me. Who do you think you are, Zhang Tian? Showing off your power in front of me, you're just a bully relying on your master's influence!"

"You all know my identity, don't you? And you should know even better whose power I'm relying on."

"I'm here today to tell you the Dong family clearly that Lin Qiuran and Miss Dong are not acquainted. From beginning to end, you have been the ones hurting an innocent person."

"Today, in order to eliminate any future troubles, you are even going so far as to try to wipe him out completely. Do you really think that the Dong family's power can cover up everything?"

Faced with Mr. Dong's imposing presence, I showed no sign of backing down or cowardice.

Grandpa Dong was used to big events and wasn't intimidated by my few words.

However, I never thought that such a simple meeting would frighten him.

He even chuckled awkwardly after hearing my accusations.

“Mr. Zhang, you need to provide evidence for your words. You say your friend was harmed by our Dong family, then produce the evidence.”

"Otherwise, anyone can smear the Dong family with their own words and actions, and the Dong family will not accept that."

I don't know how the people around us noticed our conversation, but before we knew it, quite a few people were drawn over, surrounded us, and started talking about it.

"So, the reason Miss Dong didn't show up today was because of these things?"

"The Dong family really went all out!"

"But you saw the headlines a few days ago, right? This Lin Qiuran seems to be someone who would do anything for profit. Maybe he's the one stringing Miss Dong along."

"..."

The headline only appeared briefly that day, and people were already making comments about Lin Qiuran.

People who don't know the inside story often assume the worst about others.

Just like the internet today, people don't know the truth behind things, they just blindly follow the crowd and make judgments.

I wonder how many people have been harmed by this phenomenon.

This kind of thing must not be tolerated!

However, I did not back down and remained very calm.

"You want evidence?"

"It's okay, there are plenty of surveillance cameras in the hospital. The camera at the ward entrance can prove who this person is."

"Finding out who is in contact with this person would be even easier for the Song Group. Does Old Master Dong expect me to announce the results then?"

Old Master Dong's eyes changed, and they became much more threatening towards me.

But I chose to ignore it all.

I smiled and said, "Soon, I will make the investigation results public. It may or may not be related to the Dong family."

"But does the truth matter? Will the public care?"

"But even if it's just speculation, I think the Dong Group's stock will plummet, won't it? We all know that."

Grandpa Dong slammed his cane on the ground three times in a row.

"Knowing full well that it will result in mutual destruction, you still want to do it? Don't you care about his reputation?"

I remained calm and composed, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Haven't you ruined his reputation?"

“From the beginning, he was already married with children. He was misunderstood by Ms. Dong’s ex-fiancé, who assaulted him and injured his arm.”

"Now, just because Miss Dong once had a one-sided love for him, he has to bear all the consequences."

"Why?"

"Just because your Dong family has such immense power? Just because he's an ordinary person you can bully, is that it?"
