Madam Zhangli felt a little impatient.
Xia Chenglan repeated her plot to her again. Only then did she start becoming more patient and stop throwing tantrums.
Zhang Qun was persuaded by Xia Chenglan as well.
After that, Madam Zhangli told her other two sons about what they had planned.
Xia Chenglan and Zhang Qun were the only ones left in the room.
“Look at your mother. This is the Xia clan. Why does she think that it’s the same place as the Zhang clan?” Xie Chenglan said rather unhappily. “The only reason why I spoke to her so nicely was because of you. Otherwise, I would have chased her out a long time ago.”
“Darling, I’m sorry that you have to endure it, but that’s my mother, after all. She is the one who raised me. It’s my duty to be filial toward her,” said Zhang Qun, consoling Xia Chenglan. “Would you please bare with her a bit more? “She’s so biased. Can’t you see it? You heard what she said just now. Whatever we manage to acquire, we have to split them and share them with your two useless brothers. You are fine with that, but I’m not.”
“I know that she’s biased, but don’t we need their help right now? After we succeed, we’ll think of some other ways, okay?”
“Zhang Qun, if you really want to be with me, you have to listen to me this time!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you for anything. What do you plan to do?”
“Split up the clan.”
Zhang Qun’s eyes widened and instinctively refuted, “No no, no. My mother is still alive. We can’t split up the clan. Otherwise, people are going to despise me for it.”
“Are you going to keep providing for your two useless brothers? Zhang Qun, we have children. They need to eat and live too. Go and make the money yourself if you can! I am not going to spend my money on those people,” Xia Chenglan said angrily.
Zhang Qun didn’t know what to say.
He thought about it and said softly, “Can we talk about splitting up the clan later? You’re the only one who knows how much inheritance the Xia clan gives you. They won’t know anything. We’ll hide those. We won’t tell them about everything.
Xie Chenglan felt rage welling up in her chest.
Zhang Qun listened to her for almost everything, except for issues pertaining to the Zhang clan, especially anything related to Madam Zhangli. His attitude would suddenly become very tough, and he wouldn’t listen to anything she said.
“Then, we’ll get divorced. You can go and live your life with them,” Xie Chenglan said angrily as she turned her body away from him.
Zhang Qun hurriedly hugged her and said, “No, no. Please. I’ll think of a way for splitting up the clan, alright?”
“Are you trying to stall for time again?
“No, I’m not. I can’t just tell them that we want to split up the clan out of the blue, right? My mom’s going to break my legs!’
Xia Chenglan thought about it. He was right. Madam Zhangli had the habit of beating people. She might actually break Zhang Qun’s legs for that.
“I will endure this for at most one more year. If we can’t split up the clan, I’ll take the money and run away.”
“What about Zhao Chuchu?”
“I’ll bring her too. I don’t believe that she can put up with your mother’s attitude.”
“Okay. Please let me think of a way. Give me a bit of time, alright?”
“One year, at most.”
“Okay.”
It was the day of the Yuan clan’s banquet for Zhao Chuchu.
All of the influential people in the capital city of Guangqing province were invited.
Even those who didn’t receive invitations came with gifts.
Zhao Chuchu had become famous in the capital city as Doctor Miracle. Everyone wanted to know her. Naturally, they wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity.
Old Mrs. Yuan was feeling very energetic that day.
All the guests knew that Old Mrs. Yuan was on the verge of death because of her illness previously. However, that day, not only was she much healthier, but she also looked more lively and energetic. She looked a lot younger than she was just a few months ago. The guests were even more convinced about Zhao Chuchu’s medical knowledge and skills!
Old Mrs. Yuan brought Zhao Chuchu around to greet the guests.
Not everyone deserved to be introduced by Old Mrs. Yuan. In fact, only a few
families were worthy of this treatment.
Otherwise, just greeting the guests alone would tire Zhao Chuchu out.
After seeing important guests, Old Mrs. Yuan told everyone to take their seats and prepare for the banquet to start.
At this point, Xia Chenglan arrived with people from the Zhang clan. They barged into the hall without any explanation.
Puzzled, the guests looked at Xia Chenglan before looking at Old Mrs. Yuan.
Before Old Mrs. Yuan could say anything, Madam Zhangli said, “Old hag Yuan, you have a granddaughter of your own. Why are you trying to snatch my son’s daughter from us? My daughter-in-law gave birth to Zhao Chuchu after 10 months of pregnancy. Do you not feel any shame for doing this?”
Then, Madam Zhangli pushed Xia Chenglan forward and said, “Zhao Chuchu! Come out and greet your mother! How can you make such a scene just to acknowledge an outsider as your mother? Don’t you feel sorry for the person who gave birth to you?
Xia Chenglan rubbed her eyes and made them red before coming near the door. She appeared extremely sad as she looked at Zhao Chuchu. “Chuchu, I know that I was wrong for abandoning you back then, but I was left with no other choice. I’ve always wanted to find you this whole time. I’ve been thinking about you all these years.”
