Chapter 1345: Lose-Lose Situation Qu Zhen knew that there was no point beating around the bush with Master Zhai. Master Zhai was not easy to fool.
“Apologize?” Master Zhai repeated before he turned his head to ask his subordinate: “What day is it today?”
“The sixth.”
“Oh? What month?”
“October.”
“Is that so? Apparently, I’m not becoming crazy because of my old age. It’s only been a month since the Loyalty Alliance betrayed the Zhai family. I didn’t expect so much time to pass already,” Master Zhai commented.
His words implied that it had already been a month since their betrayal. If that was the case, why were they apologizing right now? What kind of apology was this?
Sheng Yingying hurriedly explained: “Master Zhai, you can’t completely blame us for what happened. You did not inform us about what was happening to Master Sheng. We all assumed he was a dying man. That’s why we decided to form an alliance with Qin Chuan.”
Upon hearing this, Master Zhai smiled meaningfully and commented: “Ah Little Yingying… It’s been more than ten years since you took over the family business from your father, right?”
Master Zhai could easily say that he had watched Sheng Yingying grow up.
Whenever Sheng Yingying was facing Master Zhai, she felt a bit of fear.
“Uncle Zhai, since you’re talking about my father, let me say one more thing. My father handed me the entirety of our family business. I couldn’t let our family business collapse in my hands, could I? If you spoke to us a bit earlier and trusted us a bit more, we definitely wouldn’t have stopped interacting with the Zhai family.”
Despite hearing these words, Master Zhai unhurriedly replied: “You were quite naughty as a child. Back then, you knocked over an antique in Cai Ningxuan. When the adults found out and asked you if you broke it, you refused to admit it. Eventually, there was conclusive evidence and everyone knew you broke the antique. Once that happened, you burst into tears. Because you cried so much, everyone decided to forgive you. On top of that, instead of blaming you for breaking something, they also comforted you.”
Sheng Yingying’s face suddenly turned ashen when she heard this: “Uncle Zhai, why are you mentioning things from my childhood? That was more than thirty years ago. What are you getting at?”
Master Zhai continued in a calm and collected tone: “You’ve taken over the family business for more than ten years now. However, you still act like a child. You refuse to admit your mistakes. Back when you were a little girl, crying would get you out of trouble. However, you’re no longer a little girl. You’ve been the Head of the Sheng family for more than ten years. Therefore, you should understand what can be overlooked and what cannot. You didn’t stop interacting with the Zhai family. Instead, you took deliberate actions to bring down the Zhai family business.”

The expression on Sheng Yingying’s face became even uglier when she heard this.
This old man was saying that she wasn’t repenting for her mistakes.
She didn’t even want to be here in the first place! She never planned to negotiate peace with the Zhai family!
It was Qu Zhen and the others who insisted that she come here!
And now, this old man was criticizing her!
Sheng Yingying glared at Qu Zhen.
As Qu Zhen knew of Sheng Yingying’s temper, he hurriedly said to Master Zhai: “Master Zhai, those things have already happened. We’re sorry for our actions. However, if Master Sheng wants to fight Mr. Qin and the Loyalty Alliance, it will be a lose-lose situation.”
Then, Qu Zhen took out a list: “Master Sheng is attempting to sell whatever we sell. Furthermore, he’s selling those items at a lower price. You should know that not only will this destroy the competitive market, but he will also lose a lot of money.”
Zhai Yunsheng’s Dingwen Group recently launched several products that acted as substitutes for products the Loyalty Alliance sold. And in order to attract customers, he sold these items at incredibly low prices.
