Chapter 300 – The scandal about Jiang WenYu thesis being plagiarized spread within a day. (2)
Su QinMei was not a technical person but, judging from the look on her son alone, she could tell how serious the problem was. She was both worried and angry. “I knew we should never had allowed him to return. I should have him killed sooner. He was a white-eyed wolf after all! What should we do now?”
When she said that, it did not occur to her that she did not posses the ability to stop Zhang Wenyu from returning to the Zhang family. He was the true heir.
She has had what did not belong to her for too long and now she thought they were rightfully hers to begin with. She was enraged when the original owner what was his back. She couldn’t accept that fact and even hated his existence.
Zhang Bi took a deep breath. He walked around the house a few times before he finally sat down in front of his computer. He first sent another email to the magazine that he had submitted his article to and expressed how he had made a mistake and submitted a wrong article. The reason made no sense but he didn’t have a lot of choices right now. Had it been a domestic magazine, the Zhang family could probably pull some strings and make the whole incident go away.
Zhang Bi, who had wanted to become renowned, had picked only international magazines. He didn’t even have the numbers to the editors, let alone pressuring them to do anything.
After he had done that, he looked up at his mother from the chair and said to her, “Mom, when push comes to shove, why don’t you go and talk to him? Just tell him that I wasn’t thinking straight and made a big mistake and had him said that the two of us worked on it together during the early stages.
“He still believes that you are his real mother. He won’t turn you down.”
Su QinMei did not look good. Had her go smooth talk something whom she hated? She couldn’t bring herself to do such a thing.
Nevertheless, looking at the rare panic and helpless look on her son, she agreed to it begrudgingly. She would just think of it as doing it for her son.
Zhang Bi felt better after he had convinced his mother. When he decided to carry out the plan, he figured that with his mother and grandfather around, unless Zhang Wenyu was willing to sever all ties with the Zhang family, otherwise, he would be pressured into compromising. The Zhang family would not allow a scandal like this and he was certain that his grandfather would be on his side.
Even though his grandfather finding out about this meant that he would have absolutely no chance of becoming the heir but he had no other options. His grandfather would find this out sooner or later. He might as well come clean now.
After he had mentally prepared himself, he went over to look for Zhang Kaiyu, the clan leader of the Zhang family, and told him everything.
Zhang Kaiyu was so angry that his stomach hurt. He never would imagine that someone from their family would commit plagiarism.
He couldn’t help but raised his cane and struck Zhang Bi with it.
“You couldn’t even have stolen it from someone else? You had to steal from one of our own? That’s just great!”
Zhang Kaiyu was no spring chick but, perhaps because he had maintained his health well, he was still very strong at his age and was every bit as strong as a middle-aged man when he was beating someone.
Zhang Kaiyu was truly angry. Had Zhang Bi tried to plagiarized from some outside and succeeded, perhaps he could still say that it was a job well done. But he was plagiarizing Zhang Wenyu! Another member of the Zhang family!
Zhang Bi hadn’t expected his grandfather would start beating him right away and was struck by him firmly for the first few times. They hurt so much that his look was twisted. Of course solid wood landing on one’s body would hurt. He reflexively tried to avoid them but that infuriated Zhang Kaiyu even more. He dared to try to avoid him?! So he struck him even harder.
“Stop! Stop!”
Zhang Bi had tried to refrain himself from shouting out at the beginning but started howling toward the end.
