Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law
chapter-253

The other couldn't help but looked over at Zhang Bi, who had remained quiet this entire time. Instead of feeling shocked, they were more waiting for the drama and hoping for misfortune to bestow upon him. Even though the existence of Zhang Bi threatened them as well but he had no foundation. They could always suck up to him and he would helpful to them. Jiang WenYu, who was about to go down on their genealogy as his older brother, would certainly irk Zhang Bi to no end.

Zhang Bi was certainly feeling frantic. He never would have expected such a move from his grandfather. How was he supposed to take that? Was his grandfather getting ready to give him up?

After the meeting, Zhang Yukai had the child he once valued very much stayed behind.

He said to him, “Repeat this to your mother verbatim. This was her doing in the first place and not it’s time to repay for it. If she doesn’t like this arrangement, I will have no choice but to send her back to her parent’s place.”

A slight disgruntlement grew in Zhang Bi’s heart. “Grandpa, do you favor him more?”

Zhang Kaiyu mellowed out a little. “I’ve watched you grow up. Who do you think I favor more? Have you reach Jiang WenYu’s research papers?”

Zhang Bi was aggravated whenever he heard Jiang WenYu’s name. Why would he read Jiang WenYu’s paper in their entirety?

Zhang Kaiyu said to him, “Go and read his papers. I suspect that he was the one being the Beautify Pills. How else can an amateur like Fang JunRong come up with a product like that?”

Zhang Bi was enlightened. That was the reason behind his grandfather’s decision. In the end, he was trying to have Jiang WenYu on their side. Jiang WenYu did not grow up in the Zhang family and had no emotional ties with them. They would need to offer him something for him to be on their side. In the end of the day, he was nothing more than a tool to them. That made him feel better.

He related what he grandfather said to his mother when he returned.

Su QinYing turned pale but all she said was, “I got it,” before she took off in a trance. She didn’t complain about anything at all. Zhang Bi, who was prepared to comfort her, was baffled. She acted as though grandfather had some leverage over her. He couldn't help but wondered if there were more to it than he was aware of. What had his mother done to Jiang WenYu in the past?

On the other side, Zhang Bi’s Second Uncle and Third Uncle also talked about the odd events of the night.

“Third Brother, do you think Jiang WenYu really is a child of the Zhang family?”

“If Dad said so, he must have irrevocable proof. He would not otherwise want to mess up our bloodline. Besides, look how much alike Jiang WenYu and Zhang Bi was. They certainly look like brothers.”

“Are you crazy? Take another look at Jiang WenYu. He looks like Zhang Bi alright, but Zhang Bi looks like his grandfather on his mother’s side! I suspect Jiang WenYu is part of the Su family and that Dad wants our big brother to have an additional son for the benefit of the Zhang family. Why else would Su QinYing not say a word? If it was my wife, she would have the bastard child killed a long time ago.”

The two speculated a lot over Jiang WenYu but, without any proof, they were nothing but speculations.

***

The stories on Jiang WenYu lasted over a week before their popularity finally dropped.

Fang JunRong, after consulting with Jiang WenYu, declined all other interviews for him. She mentioned that to the upper management as well and Jiang WenYu was finally able to return to his research.

Fang JunRong had expected the Zhang family to reach out to Jiang WenYu but she thought they would observe for a while longer. She hasn’t expected them to come so quickly. In addition, Zhang Kaiyu, Zhang Bi’s grandfather and clan leader of the Zhang family, came in person. Fang JunRong did not like anyone from the Zhang family from the top down.

Zhang Kaiyu looked very kind and his white goatee also made him stand out.

“Boss Fang,” said Zhang Kaiyu with a smile. He looked like a regular grandpa commonly seen in the park practicing their tai chi.

Fang JunRong said nonchalantly, “I trust that you didn’t come for no reason. Just go ahead and say it.”

Zhang Kaiyu frowned at her overly cold attitude. He frowned a little but relaxed again shortly. “I came for Jiang WenYu today. He is a grandchild of us that we have lost many years ago.”
