Volume 1 Chapter 20 Guarantee

  "My dad was also for Zi Peng's own good, not really hitting him. This child is sometimes too mischievous, if not properly disciplined, I'm afraid he'll get into big trouble in the future..." Zhang Yun's voice became smaller and smaller under Fang Lao's fierce gaze.

  Mrs. Fang didn't get angry, but instead smiled. Even in the midst of furious anger, she still maintained her elegant demeanor. "Is that thick leather whip not for real? What do you want to do? Beat him to death? Zhang Yun, let me tell you, Zi Peng's surname is Fang, not Zhang. It's not your turn yet, the Zhang family, to come and discipline!"

  Zhang Yun was heartbroken upon hearing this, thinking that her own son, whom she had given birth to with great difficulty, didn't even have the right to be raised by her? Although Zi Peng bore the surname Fang, when had the Fang family ever taken on the responsibility of raising him? Her father had been well-intentioned, but was misunderstood by Old Lady Fang. Zhang Yun, who had always been pampered and indulged, couldn't bear such humiliation and immediately lost control of herself.

  "Old lady, you're talking big! Zǐ Péng is indeed a Fang, but when have you ever fulfilled your parental responsibilities? Fāng Jiàn Lín spends his days outside, wining and dining, has he ever asked about this family? When Zǐ Xuān was in the hospital after the car accident, did he, as a father, even visit her once? Have any of you grandparents ever shown concern? The two children living here, I'm afraid that apart from providing them with food, you've completely neglected them!" Zhāng Yún had not even called out "mom" anymore, and their relationship was now thoroughly strained.

  "How dare you defy me!" Mrs. Fang was shocked, Zhang Yun had always been at odds with her, but this was the first time she had ever been so blatantly defied to her face, disregarding all respect for authority. She was furious, trembling from head to toe. "Since you're so protective of your family and dissatisfied with ours, we can't tolerate someone like you in our household either! You'd better go back to the Zhang's and be their young mistress!"

  "Can't get what I want!" Zhang Yun burst out laughing in a shrill voice, her face twisted with malice. "Since you look down on me, old lady, I won't embarrass myself by staying here. After I leave, you can bring those mistresses of Fang Jianlin's into the house - the nightclub hostesses, the grocery store owner's wife, the female student whose brother is in jail... Oh, and that childhood sweetheart Shen Qin too! Each one of them is better than me, isn't she? As for Zi Xuan and Zi Peng, I'm taking them with me. You probably don't care about those illegitimate children Fang Jianlin had with those women either - there are five or six of them, all calling you 'grandma' and surrounding you... What a happy family reunion, sharing the joys of life together..."

  "Have you had enough!" A loud shout came over, it was the current head of the Fang family, Fang Laotaiye's eldest son Fang Jianping, and beside him stood Fang Laozhangzi with a dark face and an angry expression.

  "What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family! To have produced such an ungrateful daughter-in-law as you...!" As soon as she saw that her husband and son were backing her up, Old Lady Fang gained confidence.

  Zhang Yun was not afraid at all, but looked at her father-in-law and elder uncle with a sarcastic expression. She didn't want to live such days either, so it's better for everyone to break up.

  "That's enough!" Mr. Fang glared at Mrs. Fang fiercely, "I know about Zi Peng's affairs, it's not up to you, a woman, to lecture our grandson here."

  Mrs. Fang was indignant and knew that Mr. Fang had been listening for a while, so she became even more dissatisfied with his repeated compromises with the Zhang family. Nevertheless, she still remembered to give her husband face in front of others, so she reluctantly closed her mouth and remained silent.

  "Old Third's wife, you shouldn't be so rude to your mother-in-law." Mr. Fang glared at Zhang Yun sternly, "You and Old Third are already married, and you should live a good life together. I'll pretend I didn't hear those nonsensical words, and you're not allowed to say them again. As for the absurd things Old Third did outside, don't worry about it. Those women and children will never be recognized by our Fang family..."

  Fang Zixuan listened quietly on the side, although her face was calm, but in her heart, there were still some inexplicable emotions. She was also a "wild child" in their mouths back then, and an unacknowledged child forever. Since Old Man Fang had already made such a promise, why did Zhang Yun have to go out of his way to find them back then?

  Zhang Yun had always respected this public figure, and although his words were severe, he still gave her a way out and made such a guarantee in front of Mrs. Fang, so she felt that she had won back some dignity, and she didn't really want to divorce Fang Jianlin anyway, and her expression looked much better, and she immediately responded with respect.

  "Zhang Lao thought it was reasonable for his grandson to watch too, the two children had finished packing and were about to leave, don't let people wait anxiously." Fang Lao Ye said this and took Fang Jianping upstairs.

  Mrs. Fang's face looked unpleasant, but since Old Man Fang had spoken, she didn't dare to make things difficult for Zhang Yun anymore, so she coldly snorted and turned around to go upstairs with a flick of her hand.

  Fang Zikong saw that all the people who were backing him up had disappeared one by one. After causing such a commotion, he still couldn't escape going to the Zhang's house, and naturally felt extremely disappointed, so he continued to make trouble without giving in.

  Zhang Yun was almost exhausted from his earlier antics, and now seeing him so careless, she slapped him hard on the face. Fang Zikai had always been spoiled, and Zhang Yun rarely laid hands on him. This slap was like stirring up a hornet's nest, making Fang Zikai even more uncooperative, rolling around on the ground and screaming at the top of his lungs, the sound piercing to the point where it almost shattered the roof.

  The head of the family had spoken, and everyone in the house could only pretend not to see Fang Zikun's behavior. Zhang Yun made up his mind to take them away, calling two bodyguards over to carry Fang Zikun into the car, and also telling Fang Zixuan to go upstairs to pack their luggage, leaving the Fang family with a swagger.

  Finally sent away this evil king, the Fang family's old house upstairs and downstairs all breathed a sigh of relief. This year is still good, in the past also had to count on Fangzi Xuan this demon star, that scene was miserable. But this year's Fangzi Xuan was an exception, quiet as if she didn't exist.

  Fang Zipeng sobbed and wailed in the car, his heart aching terribly. Zhang Yun's heart was broken by her son's crying, and seeing the palm print on his face made her even more heartbroken. She hugged her son and cried along with him. As she cried, Fang Zipeng cried even louder, as if he wanted to outdo Meng Jiangnu in a contest of grief.

  Fang Zixuan sat in the car, flipping through the book she had just bought from the bookstore, her expression focused, oblivious to the scene of a doting mother and spoiled child before her eyes.

  Zhang Yun cried for a while, then came to herself, wiped away her tears, and looked at Fang Zixuan with some embarrassment, her eyes still red. But her daughter was immersed in her own world, calmly turning the pages of her book, occasionally closing her eyes as if thinking about something, as if others didn't exist. No matter how she and her mother cried or made a fuss, she remained indifferent.

  What a cold and unfeeling heart, really doesn't understand how to be considerate of his mother. Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart as she stared blankly at Fang Zixuan, truly not knowing what kind of sin she had committed in her past life to end up with a man like Fang Jianlin and give birth to such an irresponsible pair of children.
