Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman -
Chapter 430 I Heard You Are Looking For Me
And even Moore seemed confused and was trying to say something. But he merely shook his head.
Seeing him shake his head, Jean looked at Zed, full of doubt and confusion.
As she saw Zed's complicated expression seemed to explain something to her, she asked, "Zed, do you have something to say?"
Since she had asked him now, Zed let out a deep breath and replied, "I received Henry Wen's call at noon. I don't know why, but he was looking for you." That was why Zed woke up so early at noon.
Jean was sound asleep and didn't hear the call at all. So Zed got up and took it.
"Henry Wen? What was he calling for, I wonder?" Jean asked unpleasantly. Her face had darkened on hearing the name.
"He saw the newspaper this morning and came to know that Shirley had been arrested." Zed sighed.
"So, was he accusing me of falsely blaming Shirley?" Jean asked, looking at Zed with a serious face.
Zed paused for a moment and nodded, "Yes, you are right. He was saying why you sent Shirley to jail?"
"Haha, that's funny." Jean laughed sarcastically but also shuddered all over. "I sent her to jail? ME? Does he really think I have that kind of pull with the authorities? Zed, I have got to go to the hospital!" Jean immediately stopped speaking and was just about to walk outside.
Zed grabbed her hand, looked at her angry face and sighed. "I have been discussing it with Moore and we knew that you will definitely go to see him. And even though I also feel furious about Henry accusing you, saying things like that, and want to teach him a lesson, he is still a patient right now and he is your father, Jean.
He is really pissed about Shirley being in jail. You can't just go confront him right now at such a critical moment. I know you won't let him wrong you, but you have just recovered from last night's adventures. I really can't let you fly into a rage once again."
"Zed, what are you afraid of?" Jean laughed bitterly and assured him, "Don't worry. I am not going to lay a single finger on that man no matter how angry I get. Henry is worried about Shirley being in jail, and I have to use this chance to elaborate Shirley's crimes." Jean put on a sly smile.
"Jean, do you mean..." Moore asked, looking both horrified and impressed.
Zed also smiled, and gave her an approving nod. "If that is the case, then I'll go with you."
"No, Zed. You shouldn't go and meet Henry even with Jean at this moment!" Moore was worried about him now.
"Moore, don't worry about me," Jean hurriedly said. "Shirley was just arrested. She wouldn't have confessed her crimes in just a night. The newspaper this morning has just reported her arrest but not why she was arrested. Henry doesn't know that his son Winner died because of her daughter Shirley.
And he blames me for sending her to jail! I need to have a good conversation with him about Shirley's crimes. He should know the truth, or he will try every possible means to get Shirley out!"
Jean explained with a smirk on her face.
"So that's your plan." Moore was impressed by her cleverness and nodded approvingly. "Good. Then I guess I don't have to worry about him wronging you."
"I'm not afraid of him, Moore. I just don't want him to live so peacefully. If he is angry right now, then let him be angrier," Jean said, like a naughty child.
"Jean, now that I see your naughty side, I fear about Henry!" Moore laughed. "If Henry gets to know that you are going to bother him so late at night, he is going to faint out of rage. So, take it easy when you are in the hospital. He can't stand the brawl as he is already half dead."
Zed warned her with a discreet face after they settled inside the car.
"Don't worry! Henry Wen is like a cockroach with a strong vitality and skeleton. He is not going to die so easily!" Jean was confident about it.
Zed glanced at her, knowing that he couldn't stop her and shook his head helplessly.
It would seem that Henry Wen was bound to suffer quite a fate that night!
Their car gracefully moved into the parking lot inside the garage of the hospital.
After they had exited the car, Zed grabbed Jean's hand, walked towards the elevator and headed straight to the in-patient department.
There were very few people in the corridor since it was late at night and they walked around almost unnoticed due to the scarcity of visitors. Before they knew it, they were at the door of Henry's room. Jean knocked once and entered before Henry could even say 'come in'.
Inside the room, he was lying on the bed lost in some deep thought. Seeing them come in, he sat up and stared at them in fury. Before he could fly into an incontrollable rage, Jean spoke, "I heard that you were looking for me, father?" The term 'father' had an unusual tinge on it, as if spat out in a bitter sense of hatred.
She walked towards Henry, examining his face and sighing deliberately. "His dear daughter is in jail now, but blimey, Mr. Wen does not seem to be affected at all. He looks good! Is he about to leave the hospital?" Jean pondered out loud.
Zed tried to hold himself from laughing out loud as he heard the sarcastic tone Jean was utilizing in order to provoke Henry to his maximum, and succeeding beautifully at it.
She seemed to be getting better and better at confronting people everyday.
As they had expected, Henry's anger mounted a new high as soon as he heard her tone. With a dark face, he stared at Jean and shouted in fury, "You devilish monster, you got your sister into jail. Why did the Wen family ever have a daughter like you, you cold-blooded, bastard beast?"
"Beast?" Jean finally adopted a serious, angry voice of her own, "I advise you to mind your tone and words. If I really am a beast, then what does that make you? I am your daughter, remember? And Henry Wen, I know that you have always favored Shirley over me. And now, I also know just how stupid and ignorant you are, and even you have no idea just how much! Shirley sought every possible means to try and extort a hundred million dollars from the Wen Group. And you Henry Wen, you didn't even react and just let her be?" "Why would I have wasted my time in trying to stop her? The Wen Group is going to be hers sooner or later," Henry replied angrily.
"See now you're telling the truth!" Jean retorted in even more anger,"Henry, when the Wen Group was destined to pass over to Shirley, why did you ever arrange for me to be CEO earlier? Why not choose her?" Jean asked in a deliberately surprised tone. She was laughing in her mind though, 'The old fox finally reveals his tricks now!'
"Do you think the Wen Group would have pulled through such a delicate time without the name of Mr.Qi's wife behind it? It was for the company's good, or I wouldn't even have talked to you at that time!" Henry hummed a cold laugh and spit out the truth, as if there was no point in hiding the truth anymore.
"So that is the truth, isn't it?" Jean replied. "Darling, now I realize how privileged I am to have been married to you. Just the mention of your name brought a new life into a company which was right on the verge of bankruptcy!" Jean looked at Zed, pretending to be womanly and coy.
Zed gazed at Jean with soft eyes and said, "Now that you know how powerful I am, you don't have to worry about anything when you want to do something to the Wen Group. No one will dare bat an eyelid!" Zed was talking to Jean directly, but indirectly, he was threatening Henry.
Upon hearing his thinly veiled threat, Henry flew into a rage and stared furiously at Zed. "I have no grudges with you, you mad-man. Why the hell do you poke your nose into the business of the Wen Group?" "Because you hurt my wife and made her angry. That means you've made me angry!" Zed replied sternly, staring at him with cold, dark eyes which were full of a clear threat. 00000☐☐☐
