He knew it! Xue Wanxue, that brainless slut who could be coaxed into sleeping with men before marriage, how smart could her bastard child be?
Shouldn't we obediently take care of him?
Old Zhang's head, which is about to retire, doesn't seem to realize that if Zhang Jizhou were really as stupid as he thinks, he wouldn't have been able to make a name for himself in the army, working his way up to achieve what he has today.
Hearing that some bystanders had said a few random things, his inexplicable confidence surged again, making him even put on airs, saying, "If you don't upset me, my eyes are perfectly fine."
Fang Yan: ...
I've only ever heard of intermittent amnesia, is there such a thing as intermittent dementia?
Did he really think that Zhang Jizhou cared about him?
She's so humble and subservient, trying to get Zhang Jizhou's attention, all in order to suck his blood and flesh—no, I mean, all his income.
Yes, not only the allowance, but also the money Fang Yan earns from her business, he wants to keep it all, just like before.
As for how to get Fang Yan's money into his own pocket?
Once he has Zhang Jizhou back under his control, he can then hand over the task to him.
As for what Zhang Jizhou wants to do, he doesn't need to worry about that.
Old Zhang really wanted to say, "Just hand over your allowance, and I'll use it to treat my eyes."
But with so many eyes watching intently around them...
He still didn't dare to be so direct, but said tactfully, "As long as you're still as obedient as before, that's fine. Over the years, I haven't raised a thankless child, so you should at least have a conscience."
What a disgusting white lotus! He wants Zhang Jizhou to step forward and let them suck the last drop of blood, just like before, but he still has to act like he's doing it reluctantly.
“You don’t need to make things so difficult for yourself,” Fang Yan said, feeling utterly disgusted by the old man she had never seen before in her two lifetimes. “As for you, I would rather he be an ingrate.”
As she spoke, Fang Yan turned her head to the side and glared angrily at Zhang Jizhou. "You said last time that unless he gets sick or dies, he can get half of the allowance back from the hospital. If you dare to secretly take the allowance to support his mistress and his youngest child like before, you can live with them. I'll raise the child on my own."
She knew that Zhang Jizhou's actions were not out of concern for Zhang Laowu.
But Zhang Laowu's behavior was truly disgusting.
It was so disgusting that Fang Yan couldn't help but confront them.
Furthermore, after being interrupted by Zhang Laowu, Zhang Jizhou was in a bit of a predicament. If he were to continue the previous topic, Fang Yan's retort would allow him to smoothly pick up where he left off.
Zhang Laowu was furious and wanted to yell at her.
However, Zhang Jizhou didn't give him a chance. After Fang Yan finished speaking, he quickly stated, "It will never be like before. A promise is a promise. I always keep my word."
“In the past, I gave him all my allowances only because my mother had told me to listen to him, not to disobey him, and not to argue with him.”
Zhang Jizhou had previously suspected that his mother's dying words were actually meant to harm him.
Until last time, Fang Yan discovered that her mother had died at the hands of Zhang Laowu.
Moreover, he was not Zhang Laowu's biological son.
Zhang Jizhou suddenly realized what his mother meant when she left him the words, "Listen to him, don't disobey him, and don't argue with him."
Now that he has come to understand the meaning of his mother's last words, he will never allow Zhang Laowu to drain his blood and bones again.
Zhang Jizhou suddenly turned around and looked straight at Zhang Laowu. "If your eyes are not bad, then take a good look and see if you and I have any resemblance whatsoever?"
Zhang Laowu was greatly alarmed. He had just built the defenses and was certain that Zhang Jizhou did not know the secret of his background. But suddenly he began to doubt again. Could it be that this bastard really knew something?
Despite the turmoil in his heart, he tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor. "Go and see for yourself in the village. How many children look exactly like their parents?"
"It's not 100% possible, but the third son is just as good-looking as you could imagine. Even if you were reincarnated, you probably wouldn't be half as good. Anyway, I've always felt that with your awful appearance, you, Zhang Laowu, could never have given birth to a child like the third son. At most, you could only guarantee that you could have a big fat boy."
Before Zhang Jizhou could speak, some of the onlookers stepped forward and shouted at Zhang Laowu from afar.
Zhang Jizhou's appearance and temperament were so outstanding that from the time he was ten years old, people often questioned whether he was Zhang Laowu's child.
There were rumors circulating about it for a while before.
Back then, it was Zhang Laowu who forced Xue Wanxue to go to Zhang Zongde, who was then the village chief, to quell the rumors.
More than a decade later, this matter has been brought up again.
Moreover, the person mentioned this time was Zhang Jizhou.
So, those who were quite skeptical about the matter at the time immediately jumped out and spoke up.
"Rotten sweet potato! You stinking, motherless bastard..."
Zhang Laowu was so angry he wanted to kill someone. Like a shrew cursing in the street, he yelled at the man, "May your whole family die for spreading rumors!"
Rotten Sweet Potato was the man's nickname. He was more than ten years younger than Zhang Laowu. He suddenly rushed over and punched Zhang Laowu, yelling, "Your whole family should die!"
Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? With your pathetic appearance, why would I need to spread rumors about you?
"Don't you have any self-awareness? Why has no one else spread rumors that the eldest son isn't your biological child, but only the third son is?"
"He is..."
Even if Zhang Jizhou wasn't his biological son, Zhang Laowu wouldn't admit it at this time.
Without thinking, he wanted to retort, but Zhang Jizhou's deep, cold, and forceful voice shut him down, "From the very beginning, before you were even married, my mother told you that she was already pregnant with me, right?"
"Ah! So that means..."
The gossip-loving public started discussing Xue Wanxue's situation...
boom!
Zhang Laowu could no longer hear what the people around him were saying; his mind was filled with the thought that this bastard had indeed found out!
No wonder!
No wonder he slipped out of his control!
Until this very second, all he wanted to do was to coax Zhang Jizhou back into his control.
The unexpected turn of events caught Zhang Laowu off guard. Should he refute it?
Should we admit it?
Just as he was lost in thought, Zhang Jiliu's voice rang out, "My mother never liked you from the beginning, but later she agreed to your marriage proposal, just to give me a seemingly normal family."
She didn't hide it from you; she was honest with you before the marriage and explained that because she was in the wrong, you wouldn't have to support us. The Xue family would give her a large dowry, enough to support both of us.
You were greedy for her generous dowry and agreed to the marriage.
After the marriage, while using her dowry, he began to hate her, thinking her promiscuous and despicable, and wishing he could kill her.
