Chapter 305 – Su QinMei’s look froze on her face. (1)
Zhang Kaiyu who had parted unhappily with Zhang Wenyu was in a particularly explosive mood. He did not have a lot of sleep the night before. Between the family meeting and the visit with Zhang Wenyu, all of these combined turned him into a bucket of dynamite that could be ignited by the slightest spark.
When he returned home, nobody dared ask him how did the talk with Zhang Wenyu went. The answer was already written on his face.
Nobody wanted to be collateral damage and they stood up and got ready to leave.
Zhang Kaiyu’s voice was very cold. “Banish Zhang Bi. We are not going to have the Zhang family’s reputation ruined because of him.”
The Zhang family members exchanged looks with each other. As long as they sever the ties with Zhang Bi, not only could they stop their losses, they could also earn the reputation of being fair and righteous.
“Yes. We should have done that a long time ago. How much troubles had he brought us so far?”
“Considering that he was a descendent of the Zhang family, we can even give him a house so he will have a place to stay. That ought to be more than enough.”
“No! You can’t do that!”
Su QinMei shrieked with a look of disbelief. Bi’s reputation was so bad now and his future gloomy. If he was banished from the Zhang family now, he would be like mud on the ground that anyone could walk all over. That was not something that she wanted to see happen. Had she knew the consequences would be so severe, she would have tried to stop him at all costs.
“Dad, I am sure there are other solutions. Please, don’t abandon him.”
Tears came pouring down for Su QinMei. She had put all of her hopes on her son. She grabbed Zhang Kaiyu by his arm and pleaded with him.
Zhang Kaiyu’s face was covered in ice. He yanked his arm free from her. “WenYu would not budge. For the sake of the Zhang family, I don’t have much of a choice.”
“He is so ruthless. How could me?!” Su QinMei was crying even more now. “I’ll go talk to him! I’ll go talk to him myself! I am his mother. He must do this for my sake.”
She was willing to bow down to that * for her son.
Wiping her tears away, she couldn’t sit around any longer. She rushed out and even left her purse behind.
Zhang Kaiyu watched her leave and his lips curved upward slightly. He was glad that he insisted on saying that WenYu and Bi were twins. They just might be able to use that to put some pressure on him. He might not care about this grandfather, but he should at least care about his “birth mother” had to say.
He had only curved his lips half way before he stopped himself. The fiasco just now with Su QinMei made his headache worse. He decided to get some rest at his room first.
After Zhang Kaiyu had left, the atmosphere seemed to have unfroze and everybody else seemed to be able to talk again.
“Say, how does Su QinMei have the audacity to go plead with Zhang Wenyu? Does she really think she is his real mother? She really doesn’t think that others know how Zhang Wenyu were kidnapped back then?”
“This must be what you read online all the time. A person can be so shameless that they are invincible.”
“Not even bullets could pierce through the skin of this mother and son.”
The other branches of the Zhang family had never liked Su QinMei and her son much. Especially when Su QinMei loved to put on the everybody-else-but-my-son-are-all-garbage attitude. Now that there was drama to be watched, all of the other branches had banded together in melon-eating and gossiping.

Jiang WenYu, watching the anxiousness on Su QinMei, his lips curved upward but his eyes were not smiling. In fact, a sense of coldness radiated out from him.
He had waited long enough for Su QinMei to come and seek him out voluntarily.
“Bring her in.” He said to his assistant before he walked over to the desk pulled open a drawer and pulled out a file folder. Inside the folder were some papers that were already turning yellow. Among those papers were past examinations and some documents. These were all evidences collected by Fang JunRong for him. They belonged to the twins Su QinYing and Su QinMei. Su QinYing and Su QinMei’s handwritings were entirely different. Much like the writer themselves, Su QinYing’s handwriting was poised, open, and elegant like a startled dragon. She would leave half a character’s space between characters. As for Su QinMei, hers were small and delicate and has the habit of writing in small printed form. Her handwriting looked slim and beautiful.
The two may looked alike in appearance but their temperaments were very different. Those who were closed to them should be able to spot their differences easily. Nevertheless, nobody questioned Su QinMei’s identity over the years. Even though outsiders would feel that “Su QinYing” had changed quite a bit but, with the support of her relatives in addition to all the incidents surrounding the Su family, it was only natural that they would think the personality change was brought about by the shock from the events.
