Chapter 252 – Zhang Kaiyu forced a kind smile on himself. “Of course that is fine.”
Listing to his grandfather praising Jiang WenYu nonstop, Zhang Bi felt like he was being clawed by an invisible claw inside of him. It was making him feel restless. He had always been confident in himself, let it be his look or his talent. The appearance of Jiang WenYu, on the other hand, made him feel like a fake. They looked alike but Jiang WenYu was far better than him. They were similar in age and Jiang WenYu had lesser education than him but he was able to have his two articles published in the two publications all on his own accord. Zhang Bi had his published in the past before but only in their associated magazines. They were not the same. He felt even worse after finding out some old events from his mother.
Why did Jiang WenYu had to exist?
“Of course I have heard of it. The media had been talking about him day and night. Anyone with eyes would have seen it by now. And he did look quite like our oldest nephew. That being said, he was far more superior than Bi. If only Bi can somewhat measure up to him, we probably would already have Beautify Pills and the other items figured out way before now,” said Zhang Bi’s second uncle, his tone unfriendly.
Hearing that, Zhang Bi’s face dropped. His uncle couldn’t have just praised Jiang WenYu? He had to put him down while he was at it?
Zhang Kaiyu’s volume got louder. “Jiang WenYu is a child of the Zhang family. We had lost him when he was a child was all.”
Once he had said that, the entire room quieted down and many looked dubious.
“Dad, when do we have an extra child in our family? And we lost him? How come we have never heard of this before?”
“Could this be true? Could he really be our big brother’s child?”
“Big Brother” referred to Zhang Bi’s father Zhang Mao, who had passed away 8 years ago. Others have had some guesses when they saw what Jiang WenYu looked like but it was possible for two unrelated individuals to look alike. Nobody really thought that he could be a child of the Zhang’s and that their clan leader would straight up confirm that. Judging from his attitude, it would seem that he was aware of this all along?
The clan leader of the Zhang family nodded with a look of mixed emotions. “He is Mao’s son. We lost him 26 years ago and Mao thought about him to the day he died and hoped that I will be able to locate his soon quickly and bring him back into our family. God bless. The child has become so successful. I am sure Mao has been looking down at him from heaven.”
“Who’s the mother of the child? Not sister-in-law, is it? I don’t remember sister-in-law having two children.”
The clan leader of the Zhang family, seemingly not wanting to divulge too much, simply said, “His birth mother died a long time ago.”
He paused for a bit and continued, “We don’t want to upset him too much so, when he returns to us, let’s just tell him that him and Bi are twins but he was lost when he was a child.”
He looked around the room and said in a threatening voice. “Whoever that tells him any crazy story will be dealt with severely.”
All of the noises in the room quieted down and everybody looked at the clan leader in shock. From what he was saying, Jiang WenYu would go down in the Zhang family’s genealogy as the oldest boy of his generation.
“Would sister-in-law agree to that?”
Second Uncle of the Zhang’s couldn’t help but asked. It sounded like Jiang WenYu was a child out of the wedlock from what his father had told him. And this child out of the wedlock would go down in record as the oldest child under her name and compete with her own child. He for certain would not let that happen if he was her.
The clan leader of the Zhang family said solemn, “She would not object.
“He shall be Bi’s twin brother from this point forward.”
The Zhang family had endured shocking news after shocking news that night and, after a while, had been desensitized.
