Cai Mingjiao cried even harder when she heard this. "It was so hard to get an audition opportunity. If my face is swollen, how can I meet the director..."
"Audition? When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me earlier!"
Hearing that Cai Mingjiao was going to audition made Cai Quan extremely regretful, lamenting that his earlier outburst had been too harsh on her.
"I received the notice last night, asking me to rush over for the audition tomorrow afternoon. You weren’t home last night, where was I supposed to tell you!"
Cai Mingjiao covered her painfully hot face, looking so aggrieved.
Hu Zhonghui couldn’t help but blame Cai Quan: "You know how long Mingjiao has been waiting for this day, and now, you’ve satisfied yourself with that slap, but you almost ruined her future!"
Cai Quan sat down somewhat irritated, lit a cigarette, and started smoking, "What are you fussing about with me for? Didn’t you say it was just ’almost’? Besides, Mingjiao is not that delicate, a little ice pack on her face, and it won’t swell."
Because there was an outsider present, Hu Zhonghui didn’t want to make a scene, so she didn’t argue with Cai Quan.
With soft and kind words, she finally managed to coax Cai Mingjiao back into the room.
After closing the door, Hu Zhonghui went straight to Sun Yan, "You’ve come all the way here certainly not just to show us a photo. Cut to the chase, what do you want with Old Cai? What’s your purpose in coming to Taohua Village?"
After seeing the photo of Shen Cheng, Hu Zhonghui’s attitude towards Sun Yan took a complete 180-degree turn.
And with that, a very obvious resistance.
Sun Yan stood up and glanced at her disdainfully, "I don’t think I have to nor am I obligated to answer your question, you, step aside."
Had Cai Mingjiao not suddenly come out and spoken those words, perhaps he might have been courteous to this family.
But now, being polite to them would be like slapping his own face!
Seeing the unpleasant expression on Hu Zhonghui’s face, Cai Quan threw away the cigarette butt and stamped it out, walking over and grabbing Sun Yan by the collar, "Boy, I didn’t rough you up earlier out of respect for you. You’d better understand whose turf you’re on!"
Sun Yan may stand over one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, but he’s not as physically imposing as the burly Cai Quan, and would likely be at a disadvantage in a fight.
Yet confronted with this threat, he remained oddly calm, his contemptuous gaze sweeping across Cai Quan’s face, "If this is your turf, then how did you end up getting beaten up ?"
Cai Quan’s grip tightened, "Who did you say got beaten up?"
"Pah! Nonsense! Watch me not beat you to death today!"
Cai Quan roared angrily, swinging his fist towards Sun Yan.
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted as the gate outside the courtyard was kicked open from outside.
Cai Quan’s hand froze mid-air, almost instinctively turning to look, but before he could get a clear view of the situation, he was restrained by several men in black who suddenly barged in.
Hu Zhonghui, frightened, kept stepping back and yelled, "What are you doing, let him go!"
At Sun Yan’s command, someone immediately grabbed Hu Zhonghui, bound her hands behind her back, and stuffed something into her mouth.
Sun Yan was very satisfied with his subordinates’ performance.
He straightened his disheveled collar and pointed at Cai Quan, "Tie him up, take him away."
"Yes, Special Assistant Sun."
When Cai Mingjiao came out of the room upon hearing the commotion, Hu Zhonghui was tied to a chair, and Cai Quan had already been forcibly taken away by Sun Yan and the others...
