They had come back to have a meal with the Old Master, but before dinner, Zhang Ji’s youngest son suddenly pointed at his cell phone and shouted that his aunt was on the trending searches.
Zhang Ji’s wife, Yu He, was shocked when she heard her youngest son’s words. She hurriedly ran over and covered her youngest son’s mouth. She glanced at Zhang Hui, then looked at Zhang Ji uneasily.
Zhang Ji shook his head at his wife and gave his eldest brother, Zhang Jing, a look.
Zhang Jing stood up from the sofa and said to Zhang Hui, “Dad, I have something to discuss with Second Brother. Let’s go to the study.”
Zhang Hui sat there without changing his expression. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was resting with his eyes closed, as if he did not hear his youngest grandson at all. When he heard Zhang Jing’s words, he only waved his hand, indicating for them to go themselves.
Zhang Ji stood up and walked to Yu He’s side. He patted the back of her hand and followed Big Brother upstairs.
In this family, Zhang Li was a taboo. No one dared to mention her. Ever since she fell out with the family over Jing Mo more than 20 years ago, Zhang Hui had made it clear that he would pretend that he had never given birth to this daughter. He had even repeatedly emphasized to his two sons that they were not allowed to give Zhang Li and Jing Mo any help.
Zhang Li was very stubborn. This was actually very similar to Zhang Hui. The father and daughter had the same stubborn temper, so neither of them was willing to give in. Zhang Hui did not pay attention to anything about Zhang Li, and Zhang Li never came back to see Zhang Hui.
In the study, Zhang Ji turned on Weibo and handed Zhang Li’s confession letter to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing took it and read it carefully. The more he read, the tighter he clenched his fists. The expression on his face was a little terrifying. He had been in the military camp for a long time and his aura was very strong. When he was angry, no one dared to look at him directly.
“Why is Little Sister so muddle-headed? Back then, Father said that Jing Mo was an unethical person, but she didn’t listen to his advice. She firmly believed that Father was looking down on Jing Mo’s background. Now, she’s been fooled by him for more than 20 years.” Zhang Jing looked angry.
Zhang Ji sighed. “1 didn’t expect her to treat her biological daughter like this. All along, we didn’t dare to inquire about her and could only find out a little from her social media account. She actually never mentioned that she had another daughter.”
Zhang Jing was so angry that his eyes were burning. He punched the log desk in the study. “Back then, she suffered a hemorrhage during labor. 1 asked your Sister-in-law to visit her. Your Sister-in-law came back and said that she gave birth to a little girl and she looked quite healthy. I didn’t suspect anything at that time. It turned out that they had already sent Jing Yao to the countryside at that time. How can she even do that? She’s a newborn child and a little girl. Is this how the Zhang Family taught her since she was young?”
Zhang Ji patted Zhang Jing’s shoulder and said, “Now that Jing Yuan has already gone in and Little Sister is still hospitalized, and Jing Yao has cut ties with her, what do you think we should do? Leave her there alone?”
Zhang Jing did not speak.
Zhang Ji continued, “Moreover, you know Little Sister’s personality. I’m worried that she will do something stupid again. With her personality, she really won’t come back for more than 20 years if she breaks off contact with her family. Now that she’s like this, I keep feeling that she’s planning something again. She can’t just let go of what Jing Mo did to her.”
Zhang Jing said angrily, “That Jing Mo, 1 won’t let him off, let alone Little Sister. Isn’t everything because of him?”
Zhang Ji followed his words and said, “What you said makes sense, but now is not the time to be caiculative about who’s right and who’s wrong. What we should think about now is what to do. Little Sister deserves it now, but what about Little Niece? Can you bear to let her suffer outside?”
Zhang Jing didn’t say anything. He naturally couldn’t bear to do it, but he couldn’t hide these things from his father. He had to inform him, but with his father’s personality, he probably wouldn’t agree.
Zhang Ji knew what Zhang Jing was troubled about. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, 1 have a way.”
When the two of them went downstairs, Zhang Hui said that he was a little cold and wanted to go back to his room to put on some clothes. It was normal for the old man to feel cold and warm alternately.
While eating, Zhang Jing and Zhang Ji pondered for a long time, but they still couldn’t think of a way to speak.
Zhang Hui’s face darkened under their gazes. He asked with a dark expression, “Can you be full just by looking at me?”
Other than Zhang Ji, everyone looked away.
Zhang Ji looked at Old Master and suddenly said, “Dad should know about Little Sister and my niece, right?”
Zhang Hui looked up at him and placed his chopsticks on the bowl. He said in a low voice, “Don’t mention Zhang Li to me. I said that no one in this family can mention her..”
