Chapter 358
“Listen to Yaoyao on this matter, never underestimate the enemy, no matter how small. Who knows what tricks they might have up their sleeve,” Xu Ke said, tapping his fingers on the table.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you two, but I’m really curious to see what kind of end my dear uncle has met,” Sheng Wenhao said, half-closing his eyes as he stroked his chin, looking very interested.
“If you really want to see, we can go with you after dinner,” Xu Ke said to Sheng Wenhao, putting a piece of food on Lin Mengyao’s plate.
“But aren’t you busy dealing with the land Sheng Group just bought? What if that old bastard holds a grudge against you for not selling to you because you followed me?” Sheng Wenhao said with a bit of concern.
“No worries. It’s almost over, and his agreement isn’t important anymore,” Xu Ke smiled confidently, causing Sheng Wenhao to instinctively shiver.
“Alright then, let’s eat quickly, I can hardly wait,” Sheng Wenhao said as he began devouring his meal, looking like a starved ghost who just reincarnated, terrifying to the extreme.
In the hospital, Sheng Hong didn’t contact anyone to visit him, not even hiring a caregiver. He didn’t want anyone to see him like this. Just a simple surgery had easily defeated the once proud Sheng Hong, turning him into a menacing man filled with hatred towards everything.
Right behind Sheng Wenhao came Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao.
“Mr. Sheng,” Xu Ke said with a slight curl of his lips, greeting Sheng Hong.
Lying on the hospital bed, Sheng Hong visibly paled, grabbing the water cup from the bedside table and throwing it at Sheng Wenhao and the others. “Who let you come here? Get out, you’re not welcome here!” Sheng Hong shouted, and due to the intensity of throwing the cup, he pulled on his wound, turning his face white and letting out a stifled groan.
The cup that Sheng Hong threw with all his might was easily dodged by a quick move from Sheng Wenhao, crashing on the floor into pieces, making Sheng Wenhao’s already bright smile even broader.
“What’s the matter? Such a bad temper, we came to visit you with good intentions, and this is how you treat us? Doesn’t seem quite reasonable, does it?” Sheng Wenhao casually tossed the fruit basket on the floor and continued walking towards Sheng Hong, his smile turning evil and cruel, while Xu Ke had already pulled Lin Mengyao into a corner, watching the scene like a spectator.
“Don’t think I don’t know why you’re here. You just want to laugh at me, don’t you? Even if you do, Sheng Group still belongs to me, and you’re just a failure, a useless piece of trash. Even if I’m crippled, I can make you wish you were dead. Have you forgotten how you once begged me to spare you?” Sheng Hong’s face turned red as he stared at Sheng Wenhao, hoping to see some loss of composure on his face to satisfy his now twisted heart.
But Sheng Wenhao showed no excess emotion, instead leisurely pulling a chair from the room to Sheng Hong’s bedside, sitting where Sheng Hong couldn’t reach him, and smilingly watching him.
“The pain you caused me is safely stored in my heart, never forgotten. I dream of revenge, and now I have the opportunity, don’t I? Your retribution has come,” Sheng Wenhao raised an eyebrow, his gaze slowly drifting down to Sheng Hong’s lower half.
“You’ve always been concerned about the Sheng family’s bloodline flourishing, but it seems you haven’t succeeded. Though it’s not a complete failure, at least you still have a daughter, right?” Sheng Wenhao said, his laughter cold and schadenfreude. The sound of his laughter could even be seen in his eyes, showing how much this pleased him.
Sheng Hong trembled all over in anger at Sheng Wenhao’s words.
“What, you didn’t like hearing that? Is it not the truth? Did I say something wrong?” Sheng Wenhao innocently turned to look at Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao, eyes wide.
“It’s the truth, you didn’t say anything wrong,” Xu Ke nodded in agreement.
Sheng Wenhao had been repressed for too long; he desperately needed to vent.
“Sheng Hong, you never imagined you’d face a day of having no heirs, did you? Never thought you’d be the one I could laugh at, did you? Never thought our roles would be reversed, right? Remember how you treated me? Wasn’t it enjoyable? Honestly, I’m feeling quite great now, but I could feel even better,” Sheng Wenhao said, gleefully watching Sheng Hong’s face turn blue.
“I’m like this because of you? Was it you that day?” Sheng Hong gritted his teeth, though it was a question, the answer seemed confirmed in his heart as he spat the words, wishing he could bite Sheng Wenhao to death.
“Yes, it was me. This is my big gift to you. Do you like it?” Sheng Wenhao said, unfazed by Sheng Hong’s hatred.
“Painful, isn’t it? But compared to the pain I endured, it’s nothing, just an appetizer. The big gifts are still waiting for you. I’m guessing you’ll be so surprised you won’t know what to say,” Sheng Wenhao whispered.
Although Sheng Wenhao’s gift was unknown, Sheng Hong instinctively knew it wasn’t good, almost without thinking, he replied, “I don’t want it, whatever gift you have for me, I don’t want it. If it’s so great, keep it for yourself.”
“Don’t refuse. I promised it to you, I won’t give it to anyone else. Besides, no one else could handle it, only a rare gem like you could endure it,” Sheng Wenhao said, seemingly regretful, but was actually stabbing Sheng Hong’s heart with every word, nearly making Sheng Hong lose his breath.
“You!” Sheng Hong pointed at Sheng Wenhao, his anger choking his words.
“What about me? Did you forget about me after all this time?” Sheng Wenhao reached out, grasping Sheng Hong’s pointing finger, holding it tightly, smiling as he continued, “Remember how my parents died?” Sheng Wenhao asked without blinking.
A flash of panic in Sheng Hong’s eyes did not escape Sheng Wenhao, confirming his suspicion with Sheng Hong’s words, “I was right, it was you. I feared I was too harsh, but now I see I was too lenient,” Sheng Wenhao said softly.
“Want Sheng Group? Then let’s destroy it,” Sheng Wenhao whispered into Sheng Hong’s ear.
