4: The plot is completely off track, and the cold CEO bows his head and admits his mistakes

Zhao Xuexuan stood at the doorway, watching the scene, biting her lip lightly.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally called out, “Dad!”

Father Zhao heard the voice and subconsciously turned his head.

Seeing Zhao Xuexuan standing at the door, his eyes instantly turned red!

All the anger he had been holding in was now unleashed on her!

“You still know how to come back?!”

“Do you know what good deeds you’ve done?”

“All because of your words!”

“The Chen family has completely broken ties with the Zhao family!”

“Although they said they wouldn’t retaliate against us, which other family would dare to take that gamble?”

“Our Zhao family became the target of public criticism overnight.”

“You, you’re going to infuriate me to death!”

As Father Zhao spoke, his face suddenly turned pale, and he clutched his heart.

His body uncontrollably recoiled backward!

“Dad!”

Zhao Xuexuan’s expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to help him onto the sofa!

Looking at her father in such a state, Zhao Xuexuan felt incredibly guilty.

For the first time, she began to wonder if she had truly made a mistake.

After a while.

Father Zhao slowly recovered.

He was, after all, the head of the Zhao family.

After venting his emotions, he quickly calmed down.

Since things had come to this, he could only find a way to make amends.

He sighed.

He waved his hand and said,

“Forget it, nothing we say now will help.”

“Because of the Chen family’s attitude, no one dares to cooperate with our Zhao family now.”

“The only way now is to find a way to gain Chen Tianming’s forgiveness; otherwise, even if the Chen family doesn’t act, it’s only a matter of time before our Zhao family collapses…”

Zhao Xuexuan lowered her head, her expression dazed.

Had the Zhao family really reached such a state?

Father Zhao glanced at his daughter, a hint of regret rising in his heart.

If he hadn't spoiled her since she was young.

Perhaps this difficulty wouldn’t have occurred.

“Go change into a new outfit, put on some makeup, and come with me.”

“Although Chen Tianming said he doesn’t like you anymore.”

“But, after all, a person cannot be like a machine.”

“Even if he really changed his mind, there must be a buffer period. For the sake of past feelings, if you obediently lower your head and admit your mistake, perhaps he’ll be in a good mood, soften his heart, and let the Zhao family off…”

Zhao Xuexuan was instantly incredulous upon hearing her father ask her to apologize.

She instinctively felt repulsed and wanted to refuse!

How could she apologize to that bootlicker?

However, the moment she looked up and met her father’s gaze, seeing how he had aged several years overnight, she opened her mouth, but the words ultimately remained unspoken.

“I… I understand…”

Watching Zhao Xuexuan leave.

Father Zhao sighed again.

His daughter was good in every way.

Her only flaw was that she didn't know how to adapt to circumstances, always being stubborn!

She was clearly a woman, yet she was incredibly unyielding!

What level was the Chen family at?

Others were scrambling to fawn over them.

But Zhao Xuexuan insisted on refusing.

And she even had to say such nasty things in front of so many people!

To put it nicely, she had personality!

To put it bluntly, she was foolish!

…

Knock, knock, knock…

“Master, the people from the Zhao family are here,” A Qi’s voice rang out from outside the door.

“Good brother, where did you learn this? This position, I really can’t stand steady, ah…”

Chen Tianming’s voice came from behind the door: “Tell them to wait outside. Say I’m currently researching special effects for film shooting!”

A Qi was stunned, then her pretty face flushed, and she quickly turned and left the room.

Her master was truly something; he started working as soon as he opened his eyes, not even fearing overworking himself.

As for Chen Tianming, after simply imparting the postures from before his transmigration and waiting for the newly awakened Luo Yanyun to pass out again.

He then unhurriedly took a shower, tidied his clothes, took out his phone, and began checking messages.

Yesterday, after transmigrating to this world and resolving Zhao Xuexuan’s matter.

He immediately mobilized his family’s power, notifying people to monitor all train stations, airports, and bus stations in the entire Modu City…

All of them were under surveillance.

According to the tropes he understood, protagonists in novels where the Female Lead is an ice-cold CEO and the villain is a fawning young master usually follow the path of a returning master.

And most of these protagonists return to the city using these types of transportation.

And they often encounter some minor trouble at the beginning, showcasing their skills in front of others…

As an old bookworm, Chen Tianming explained several familiar returning master tropes to his subordinates.

He told them to pay close attention.

The facts were as expected.

Opening his phone, he looked at the reports from his subordinates.

He found that just two hours ago, a young man at the train station caught a thief who was trying to steal something.

The thief pulled out a knife, intending to injure someone.

The young man publicly beat him up.

He handed the thief over to Gao Zhiman, the Modu City policewoman who happened to arrive.

When he was about to leave.

The thief’s brothers followed him.

A dozen or so people surrounded the young man.

This young man, in front of so many people at the train station.

Single-handedly, easily took down these dozen people!

Shocking the entire crowd!

Then he handed them all over to Gao Zhiman.

It was a huge credit to her.

For a police officer with a strong sense of justice like Gao Zhiman.

The young man’s actions made her feel a lot of goodwill.

The two naturally exchanged phone numbers.

After that, the young man, holding something unknown.

He headed straight towards the Zhao family…

Judging by the time.

He might be arriving soon.

As for the identity of this young man.

Even with Chen Tianming mobilizing his family’s power, it took some effort to find out.

This person was none other than Ye Fan, the eldest son of the fallen Ye family three years ago!

—Three years ago, Ye Fan’s parents jumped from a tall building due to business failure.

The entire Ye family collapsed overnight.

Ye Fan, on a rainy night, fell off a cliff due to a car accident and was classified as missing.

He never expected that the other party would return now.

And he had also obtained an ancient martial arts inheritance from who knows where.

Chen Tianming looked at the report on his phone.

He immediately realized.

This person must be the protagonist!

Parents die at the beginning, he goes missing and inherits an ancient martial arts legacy.

He most likely also holds a marriage contract.

As soon as he returns, he can’t wait to go to the Zhao family to find Zhao Xuexuan.

Isn’t this the standard protagonist template?

If it were according to the normal plot.

He would still be acting as a bootlicker beside Zhao Xuexuan.

After the other party returned and saw him, with his golden finger, it would naturally be a straightforward face-slapping scene.

However.

He was not a traditional villain.

Thinking of this.

Chen Tianming looked at his phone.

An interesting plan suddenly flashed through his mind.

The corners of his mouth slightly curved upward.
