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.
âLook at your mother. This is the Xia clan. Why does she think that itâs the same place as the Zhang clan?â Xie Chenglan said rather unhappily. âThe only reason why I spoke to her so nicely was because of you. Otherwise, I would have chased her out a long time ago.â
âDarling, Iâm sorry that you have to endure it, but thatâs my mother, after all. She is the one who raised me. Itâs my duty to be filial toward her,â said Zhang Qun, consoling Xia Chenglan. âWould you please bare with her a bit more? âSheâs so biased. Canât 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 Iâm not.â
âI know that sheâs biased, but donât we need their help right now? After we succeed, weâll think of some other ways, okay?â
âZhang Qun, if you really want to be with me, you have to listen to me this time!â
âOkay, okay, Iâll listen to you for anything. What do you plan to do?â
âSplit up the clan.â
Zhang Qunâs eyes widened and instinctively refuted, âNo no, no. My mother is still alive. We canât split up the clan. Otherwise, people are going to despise me for it.â
âAre 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,â Xia Chenglan said angrily.
Zhang Qun didnât know what to say.
He thought about it and said softly, âCan we talk about splitting up the clan later? Youâre the only one who knows how much inheritance the Xia clan gives you. They wonât know anything. Weâll hide those. We wonât 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 wouldnât listen to anything she said.
âThen, weâll get divorced. You can go and live your life with them,â Xie Chenglan said angrily as she turned her body away from him.
Zhang Qun hurriedly hugged her and said, âNo, no. Please. Iâll think of a way for splitting up the clan, alright?â
âAre you trying to stall for time again?
âNo, Iâm not. I canât just tell them that we want to split up the clan out of the blue, right? My momâs going to break my legs!â
Xia Chenglan thought about it. He was right. Madam Zhangli had the habit of beating people. She might actually break Zhang Qunâs legs for that.
âI will endure this for at most one more year. If we canât split up the clan, Iâll take the money and run away.â
âWhat about Zhao Chuchu?â
âIâll bring her too. I donât believe that she can put up with your motherâs attitude.â
âOkay. Please let me think of a way. Give me a bit of time, alright?â
âOne year, at most.â
âOkay.â
It was the day of the Yuan clanâs banquet for Zhao Chuchu.
All of the influential people in the capital city of Guangqing province were invited.
Even those who didnât receive invitations came with gifts.
Zhao Chuchu had become famous in the capital city as Doctor Miracle. Everyone wanted to know her. Naturally, they wouldnât 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 Chuchuâs 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, âOld hag Yuan, you have a granddaughter of your own. Why are you trying to snatch my sonâs 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?â
Then, Madam Zhangli pushed Xia Chenglan forward and said, âZhao Chuchu! Come out and greet your mother! How can you make such a scene just to acknowledge an outsider as your mother? Donât 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. âChuchu, I know that I was wrong for abandoning you back then, but I was left with no other choice. Iâve always wanted to find you this whole time. Iâve been thinking about you all these years.â
