Chapter 690 Arguing
In the end, Lao Liu still found this man especially annoying and felt that he had to speak up; otherwise, his anger wouldn’t subside. He despised such men all his life, but whenever he despised someone, he couldn’t bring about any change. Now was the time when he felt most ashamed of himself.
When Lao Liu finally uttered these words, Lao Si was exceptionally thrilled and nudged Lao Liu, saying,
"Enough, don’t provoke her any further, or the Zhang Family might really retaliate against us in the same way. That would be disastrous; we might not even be able to escape. It’s best not to provoke them any further. Look at what state you’ve put them in; I bet he has never been humiliated like this in his life.
Think about it, what will you do if the Zhang Family decides to pursue this matter later? For heaven’s sake, don’t let it be so, hope everything just passes peacefully, though I doubt that’s possible."
Lao Si spoke with revelry in his voice, as if pleased by the misery. I think this is what he deserves for getting old. There’s no helping it if others are born taller, right? Some people are just taller. There were several instances when Lao Si was targeted by Lao Liu for being too tall, which made Lao Si particularly impatient, simply because the other person was younger.
He thought about just giving in, not stooping to their level, but he didn’t expect the other to become even more aggressive. Such instances always infuriated him, but luckily things gradually improved as he slowly locked horns with Lao Liu.
Realizing he was not a match, Lao Si now responded with cryptic sarcasm, which felt like payback for all the bullying he’d endured previously.
"Stop gloating. If I can’t escape, don’t think you can either. Don’t forget, we’re in this together. Would the Zhang Family only recognize me? Besides, do you think the Zhang Family could still keep Mr. Zhang Xu after such a huge scandal? He’s bound to be grounded for a long while. Will anyone bother me then?
I don’t know; all I know is if I suffer, you’ll suffer with me. How does that feel, not so great, right? You’re stuck with me for life, and that’s all you’re good for. No matter how tall you are, what does it matter? In my eyes, you’re no different than me."
With just a few simple sentences, the fire was lit and Lao Si became extremely furious, wanting to clench his fists and teach this arrogant fool a lesson. But just as he raised his fist, Lao Er, with great resignation, had to intervene. Every time he led the team, such situations would arise, and every time it was him who had to mediate and persuade everyone to back down.
But over time, this wearied him immensely. These people just wouldn’t listen and he was always the one who had to talk and talk, with the blame ultimately falling on him. Every time something like this happened, it was extremely challenging for Lao Er. If he reported it to the boss, the boss would just tell them to get along, nothing more.
