"Since you say my mother married you because of her low social status, she couldn't possibly have any moral issues if she wanted to maintain her status and position!" Fu Baozhen said anxiously, revealing her true thoughts.
Fu Lei is already in a terrible state. He used to look down on everyone because of his status. He was often bullied by Lao Zeng when he was young because of that.
When Lao Zeng lost power, there was a period of time when he was trampled underfoot by those people!
It was only after Su Zhaohai protected him that he was able to hold his head high and be a person again.
He's in dire straits now; his mother's salary isn't even enough to cover food. To eat well, dress well, and have money to spend is just a dream.
He has no idea how many people are laughing at him behind his back. Those who used to call him brother now avoid him.
The reason they didn't kick him while he was down is because his father has regained his status. They're afraid that one day his father will acknowledge him again, and if they offend him, he'll retaliate.
Fu Lei felt that he had already suffered enough in his life.
If Lao Zeng says he is not his child, one can imagine what will happen to him in the future.
Fu Lei suddenly felt a fear he had never felt before.
Could it be that he and his sister aren't actually Lao Zeng's children? Is that why he's so heartless?
If Fu Lei and Fu Baozhen were a little thick-skinned, they could still find out some things about Lao Zeng.
How were they able to find out? It's because those people, mindful of their status, didn't dare to go too far. They could talk to them about trivial matters.
For example, Old Zeng recently asked for more bodyguards and an extra car because he wants to take his grandson back to his hometown.
Old Zeng was highly qualified, but held no official position, so his whereabouts weren't exactly a secret. Some people, unable to withstand their persistent questioning, revealed a little bit of information.
Fu Baozhen and Fu Lei kept pestering each other, piecing together bits and pieces of information to find out a lot of things.
Shen Qian had a son surnamed Zeng.
Fu Guohua guessed that this was to record the child in the family genealogy.
So they really got anxious.
If the family genealogy already has heirs, then they definitely won't have anything to do with it.
They still held onto a sliver of hope, after all, Fu Baozhen and Fu Lei were Lao Zeng's only blood relatives.
Of course, Fu Guohua believed that Lao Zeng was unaware of Fu Lei's background. Even Fu Lei himself was unaware of it.
Old Zeng didn't think about revenge, because he didn't need to do anything; Fu Guohua would suffer the same fate as everyone else.
Fu Guohua must have mentally prepared himself for this moment before she finally humbled herself. Judging from her expression, she looked incredibly wronged.
Fu Lei was the one who was most afraid.
He didn't fall into obscurity; many people leave themselves an out when doing things. Because he is Old Zeng's son.
If he were a bastard… he couldn’t bear to think about living like that.
"I'm still your own son! You don't even acknowledge me, fine! But how could you... do you really want me to die?!" Fu Lei's face was a mixture of grievance, fear, and disbelief.
Song Yan: Fu Lei's expression is the real one!
Fu Guohua's aggrieved expression vanished, replaced by trembling. Her face was completely drained of color.
Fu Baozhen and Fu Lei were indeed unaware of the situation, but she herself knew.
After all, she had been married to Lao Zeng for so many years, and she knew his personality well!
Fu Baozhen dared to divorce him back then, not afraid of Lao Zeng's comeback and retaliation, because she had these two children, which she had to rely on.
She never expected that Lao Zeng would know about Fu Lei's background.
Fu Baozhen and Fu Lei's faces turned bright red with anger and agitation.
Old Zeng looked at them calmly and indifferently, and slowly the color drained from their faces, turning them pale.
Because they all thought of the same thing.
After Lao Zeng regained his identity, Fu Baozhen no longer wanted to use the surname Fu; she wanted to change her household registration. This required a certificate from her work unit.
She went to her supervisor, but the supervisor refused to issue her the letter of introduction.
She knew perfectly well that the reason her father wouldn't issue a letter of introduction must be because he had given her some instructions.
Fu Baozhen thought her father was still angry with her.
She didn't go back to her workplace. The root of the problem lay with her father, and there was no need for her to go back and suffer any more.
At that moment, she realized that her father truly didn't intend for her to take the Zeng surname anymore. Or even worse, she wasn't really her father's child...
Fu Lei had also thought of this problem. He was unemployed and had no employer. He wanted to change his name, so he needed to get a certificate from the local street office. They wouldn't issue it to him, and not wanting to offend him, they said someone had instructed them not to issue the certificate...
There were things he didn't understand before, things he didn't want to think about anymore, and now... but he dared not think about them. "No...no..."
"Fu Guohua, did you meet Su Zhaohai before we got married, or after we got married?" Old Zeng asked.
Hearing that name sent shivers down Fu Lei's spine. He had always found it strange that Lao Zeng and Su Zhaohai were mortal enemies, yet Su Zhaohai had treated him very well.
Although he had severed ties with Lao Zeng back then, he was still greatly affected. Losing his high and mighty status was a bitter pill to swallow, and Su Zhaohai's friendliness was his lifeline. He clung to it desperately.
It was Su Zhaohai who made him recognize a godfather, even though he knew people would say he was recognizing a thief as his father.
So what? Having such a godfather immediately changes his status.
Su Zhaohai was very good to him, truly very good, and they were close. At that time, he wondered, why wasn't Su Zhaohai his biological father?
He thought of the look in Su Zhaohai's wife Yuan Haiyan's eyes when she went mad...
If Fu Lei weren't Old Zeng's son, he would have imagined what he would face...
