Chapter 58: Zhao Jia's past [2]

Happy Reading~ =========== "L-Little brother, are you okay?" Zhao Peng asked, showing his worried expression. Didn't expect something like this to happen, it's not like usual. Zhao Tuo, although often taught Zhao Ma lessons, he was never this rude. But today is a little different, somehow. Even after beating his second son, his expression did not change. Without showing any emotion, other than anger. "Dad, why are you doing this to me?!" Zhao Ma shouted at him, annoyed. While holding his stomach, using both hands. Luckily there were no serious injuries, except bruises. This can be cured just by doing light treatment. "Why do you ask? Haven't I told you many times not to bother your little sister anymore, but..." Zhao Tuo's eyes turned cold, before continuing his words. "You kept doing it, until I got sick of you." Those were the cruelest words he had ever said as a father. But this will not bring regret, other than gratitude. In the future, Zhao Ma will be a jerk. He shouldn't be in the Zhao family, always bothering people. "Damn old man...!" Anger after anger continued to rise in Zhao Ma's heart. He could no longer harbor jealousy in his heart, considering that his little sister was always given more attention. Before Zhao Jia was born, he was the most beloved person, no one dared to bully him. Even his eldest brother never reprimanded him. Since then, he considers his status in the family to be the highest. Believing that all this would last forever but, something he never expected happened to him. His mother, Zhao Tuo's wife, announced her pregnancy. In public, after checking her condition with a doctor. Didn't expect the child she was carrying to be a girl, happy. But she didn't realize that after Zhao Jia was born, an illness would attack her. It's cancer. Zhao Tuo, who realized this, became extremely panicked. Realizing that this disease cannot possibly be cured, unless God wills it. But he didn't give up, continued to call famous doctors from all over the world, just to be able to cure his beloved wife. Unfortunately fate said otherwise, and his wife died. It happened when Zhao Jia was 8 years old. And the saddest thing is that she died on the exact date her daughter was born. 'Second brother...' Feelings of pity for him reappeared. Seeing his whole body trembling, like an animal ready to be slaughtered at any time. Without thinking, Zhao Peng chose to follow his course of action. Bending his whole body under the floor, without shame. "Father, please give second brother a chance." "..." Zhao Tuo, didn't know how to react. The person who subdues his body now, in order to defend his own younger brother, is the successor, and has already been determined. But he did something that really disappointed him. Because his younger brother had disgraced his entire family, being incompetent. Zhao Tuo, he was actually quite biased towards his first son, like Zhao Jia. But because he was the first son, his education was much stricter. Zhao Peng, since childhood, had been told to study hard. And all his efforts have now paid off, becoming so much more talented that even his younger brother is no match for him. That is for sure. But there was a trace of guilt in his heart, regret for having spoiled Zhao Ma since childhood. If he had educated him like Zhao Peng at that time, things would definitely not have turned out like this. Unfortunately, that will never happen again. "Hah..." Zhao Tuo, he took a deep breath. Trying not to get too caught up in his anger, not wanting control over his emotions to just slip away. If he got even one word wrong, it would be the end for his first son. "I'll give you one chance, but remember from today there will be no more money for you." Zhao Ma didn't know whether to feel happy or sad, hearing that all his pocket money would no longer be given to him from today onwards. 'Tch, why is it like this...' he asked himself while making a lifeless face. Luckily he was still bowing, without having to show his current expression. Otherwise he would be beaten again by his father. This would be something that Zhao Tuo would regret, forgiving his useless son. Although Zhao Ma doesn't plan to take revenge at the moment, it will happen in the future. Where when he will meet his future wife. A bitch. She was also the one who incited him to seize his family's property, for her own sake. The reason Zhao Ma likes Zhao Shulian is because she is beautiful. In his eyes, Zhao Shulian was his type, no matter if she was a bitch. As long as it's interesting, it's fine. =============== Thanks for reading~
