My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 700: Birthday Banquet Conflict (2)



Emperor Dugu Jingtian had two regrets, one was his grandson He Hentian, the other was Ascension to the Immortal Realm.

The first regret had now been resolved!

His grandson He Hentian forgave Dugu Jingtian and, in front of everyone, called Dugu Jingtian "Grandpa." Although it was a common title, it made Dugu Jingtian very content and extremely excited.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were bonding, The Tenth Princess Dugu Xiu stormed over, fuming.

"Father! You must stand up for me!" Dugu Xiu shouted loudly.

"Hmm?" Dugu Jingtian looked up, his gaze landing on Dugu Xiu's angry face, "What's the matter? Who provoked you?"

"It was him!" Dugu Xiu pointed at He Hentian, "He hit Dongfang Jian! And he spoke to me with cold and harsh words! No matter what, Dongfang Jian is his uncle by marriage, his elder; how could he strike him! This is utterly uncultured behavior!"

Upon hearing the words "utterly uncultured," He Hentian's face immediately darkened.

Dugu Jingtian turned his head to look at He Hentian, "Is what she's saying true?"

"It's true." He Hentian nodded.

"Why! Why did you hit Dongfang Jian, what did he do to offend you?"

"Dongfang Jian insulted my friend, and in a fit of anger, I slapped him across the face."

"Your friend? Who?"

"Gao Fei!"

"Oh, it's him."

"Gao Fei is my good friend, anyone who dares insult him, I'll whip them!" He Hentian said with conviction.

Dugu Jingtian laughed, "What kind of spell has that Gao Fei cast on you? You're so protective of him!" Dugu Jingtian was indeed puzzled; just over a month ago, He Hentian and Gao Fei were at loggerheads, yet now they were good friends? Such a drastic change was baffling.

He definitely had to set aside some time to have a good talk with Gao Fei.

"Hentian, Dongfang Jian is your uncle by marriage, even if what he did was wrong, you can't just strike him," Dugu Jingtian said with patience, "Go and apologize to him."

"What? Apologize?" He Hentian's eyes widened, "I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize?"

"Hitting people is wrong."

"This is just my temper, if I find someone objectionable I will beat them harshly."

"You..."

"If it happened again, I would still hit him! He looks respectable but is filthy at heart, a perfect hypocrite with the face of a man and the heart of a beast. I'm puzzled, how could such a trashy man still be liked by women? This woman must be blind." He Hentian's words were an insult not just to Dongfang Jian, but also to Dugu Xiu.

"You... you... dare say that again..." Dugu Xiu trembled with rage.

Standing at the side, Dongfang Jian's face turned ashen, his fists clenched tight.

One person was particularly happy, and that was Gao Fei. Seeing He Hentian berate Dongfang Jian and Dugu Xiu, Gao Fei cheered internally. What a satisfying moment! Hahaha…

"I just did, what are you going to do about it?" He Hentian glared and roared, "Dongfang Jian is nothing but a hypocrite! Despicable, shameless, sleazy, a complete trash of a man!"

"You infuriate me! You infuriate me!" Dugu Xiu charged forward, attempting to hit He Hentian.

Who was He Hentian? How could he let Dugu Xiu hit him? With a casual push, Dugu Xiu stumbled back several steps, and if it weren't for Dongfang Jian catching her in time, she would have fallen to the ground.

"You... you dare to strike..." Dugu Xiu bellowed in anger.

"It's only okay for you to hit me, and not for me to fight back?" He Hentian scoffed, "Don't think just because you are a woman I won't hit you, push me too far and I'll slap you all the same, and you!" He Hentian glared fiercely at Dongfang Jian, "Go as far as you can from me and don't let me see you again, otherwise, every time I do I'll beat you."

Humiliation!

Humiliation!

Dongfang Jianqi felt like spitting blood!

Dugu Xiu was also infuriated to death!

Many guests were stunned, what was going on? He Hentian, Dugu Xiu, and Dongfang Jian were family, so why were they fighting each other? Everyone looked at each other, and they all tacitly maintained silence. This was the Emperor's family affair; they had no right to question it, nor did they dare to.

"Silence!" The Emperor, Dugu Jingtian, shouted angrily, "You are all royalty and nobles, causing such a ruckus here, what would people think? Xiu'er, you are the elder! Can't you step back a bit?"

"Father, I..." Dugu Xiu just wanted to speak when she was interrupted by the Emperor.

The Emperor waved his hand: "Enough, take Dongfang Jian and leave."

"Father..."

"Get out!!!"

"..." Seeing that the Emperor was angry, Dugu Xiu dared not say more and led Dongfang Jian out of the great hall.

The Emperor turned to look at He Hentian: "You..."

"I understand, I'll go out now," He Hentian said very consciously.

"No need to rush out," the Emperor said with a pleased tone. "It's rare for you to come back. I have a lot to talk to you about. Come, sit down. Let's have a good talk, just the two of us."

This was disparity, this was favoritism. Both parties had fought, but Dugu Xiu and Dongfang Jian were sent out, while He Hentian was allowed to stay. This was just too biased.

...

Outside the great hall.

Dugu Xiu's expression was extremely gloomy: "Damn it! I hate it! I've never been put at such a disadvantage in my life! I won't let this go!"

"Calm down," Dongfang Jian said, glancing back at the great hall, "Do you see? We were sent out, while He Hentian was allowed to stay... What does that tell you? It tells you that Father favors He Hentian."

"I am Father's favorite daughter! No one can challenge my authority!" Dugu Xiu said through gritted teeth, "Not even He Hentian!"

"Don't get angry, don't get worked up," Dongfang Jian gestured with his hands, "We need to plan for the long term. Right now Father favors He Hentian, it'll be hard for us to deal with him."

"What are you implying?" Dugu Xiu raised her brows and said coldly.

"He Hentian's influence is too strong right now. For the time being, we should step back, wait..."

"What!" Dugu Xiu was immediately annoyed, "Step back? No way! Officially, I'm the Tenth Princess, privately, I'm his younger aunt, his elder. Why should I yield to him?"

"Oh, don't get excited, just listen to me," Dongfang Jian hurriedly said, "With Father watching over us, we can't harm He Hentian. Once Father leaves, we can slowly take care of him."

"Father is leaving? Where to?"

"Of course, he's going to the Minor Heaven Realm. You haven't forgotten about such an important matter, have you?"

"I was so furious with He Hentian that I forgot," Dugu Xiu tapped her forehead, "He Hentian is so smug now, he'll be caught off guard when Father goes to the Minor Heaven Realm."

"That's why I said you don't need to be angry," Dongfang Jian smiled, "He Hentian won't be able to strut around for much longer."

"Fine, I'll follow your advice and bide my time for a few days. Once Father leaves, I'll settle the score with He Hentian," Dugu Xiu said, seething with anger, "I'll make him pay a heavy price! Daring to insult me? He's utterly ignorant!"

Dugu Xiu had truly harbored hatred for He Hentian, and she wouldn't be satisfied until she brought him down.

From a dark psychological standpoint, Dugu Xiu and Dongfang Jian were a perfect match! Both were extremely vindictive, with evil hearts and narrow minds, especially when it came to holding grudges! If anyone crossed them, they could hold resentment for a lifetime!
