There was an unpleasant interlude at the birthday banquet. In the end, the birthday girl had no choice but to go upstairs and change into a new dress. She even changed into a set of emerald jewelry to match her new dress.
Although that set of emerald jewelry was expensive. However, everyone knew that the Great Aunt still preferred rubies and preferred to wear red on such a festive day.
Zhang Yansheng's Great Aunt's face was very ugly the entire time.
The Great Aunt endured until the birthday banquet was over. When she was about to get into the car in the courtyard, she finally exploded at Zhang Huan. "If you can't teach your son well, don't bring him out to embarrass me in the future!"
At this time, Zhang Huan didn't dare to bring Zhang Shuocheng to the Great Aunt. He had already asked Liang Yingying to bring Zhang Shuocheng and Zhang Heling to wait for him in the car. Now, only Zhang Huan and Zhang Yansheng were in front of the Great Aunt.
"Don't be angry." Zhang Yansheng gently stroked the Great Aunt's arm and comforted her gently. "It's not worth it to be angry."
Her granddaughter was so gentle and lovely that the Great Aunt looked at her and felt a little better. However, when she looked at her son again, she didn't like him and harrumphed.
Zhang Yansheng glanced at Zhang Huan and said, "How can my dad control that brat? He spoils him like a little ancestor. Otherwise, why do you think that brat dares to be so naughty? "
The Great Aunt was furious and pointed at Zhang Huan. "It's the father's fault for not teaching him well! If you can't control him, let Yanyan do it! "
Zhang Huan's forehead was sweating, but he only dared to nod. "Okay, okay."
However, Zhang Yansheng said, "Really, how can I control him? He won't listen to me. Don't tell me I should beat him? Our family doesn't beat children. "
"You're the eldest daughter in this family. An elder sister is like a mother. Of course, you have the right to control your younger siblings." The Great Aunt said coldly, "We don't beat children. That's only for obedient children like you and Hehe. Shuocheng is like a naughty monkey. You have to beat him up! Beat him up! How old is he? Can't you beat him? Did you learn Sanda for nothing? "
Zhang Yansheng glanced at Zhang Huan. "I can't wait to beat him to death every day. Would my dad let me?"
This child had been spoiled by his own father. As for his mother, who was not up to standard, there was no hope for her. Her face darkened. "Just do as I say. If your father dares to refuse, tell me and I'll beat him up! It's not like I haven't beaten him before! "
After being exposed by his own mother in front of his daughter, Zhang Huan could only smile awkwardly.
Seeing his daughter gently coax her mother into the car, he breathed a sigh of relief. He coughed and said to Zhang Yansheng, "Let's go."
Zhang Yansheng glanced at him and walked silently to his car.
In the darkness of the night, her daughter's eyes were exactly the same as her mother's. The way she looked at him was the same way her mother had looked at him in the last two years.
That was because she no longer had any illusions about him, and there was no longer any disappointment in her eyes.
Zhang Huan was stunned. His eldest daughter had been behaving strangely tonight. She seemed to be … too quiet.
In the past, wasn't she supposed to be loud, indignant, and even gnashing her teeth? How come today … … she suddenly had a change of heart? It was as if she had been possessed by her mother.
In the hot summer night, Zhang Huan felt an inexplicable chill. He quickly chased after his daughter and headed to his car.
After getting into the car, Liang Yingying complained, "You're making a big deal out of nothing. It's just a child being naughty. You're already so old, why are you getting angry at a child?"
Zhang Huan had been with his mother and aunt the whole night and was even scolded, so he was already full of anger. He immediately scolded, "Shut up!"
He turned around and pointed at Zhang Shuocheng's nose. "If you dare to bring me this stupid thing again, I'll beat you to death!"
As he spoke, he leaned over and snatched the water gun from Zhang Shuocheng's hand and threw it out the window.
"My gun! My gun! "Zhang Shuocheng burst into tears.
"Shut up!" Zhang Huan yelled at him. "If you cry again, I'll beat you to death!"
It was rare for Zhang Huan to be so angry with Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Shuocheng was frightened and changed from wailing to sobbing.
Liang Yingying was also terrified, especially since Zhang Yansheng was sitting in the back. She felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "He didn't do it on purpose …"
"Shut up!"
Zhang Yansheng only looked coldly at the farce between the couple and the father.
She knew that Zhang Huan was just scaring Zhang Shuocheng. Zhang Huan was a man who valued boys over girls. He had always wanted a son, otherwise, he wouldn't have married Liang Yingying for Zhang Shuocheng.
She was stupid in the past. She thought of Liang Yingying as a mountain and had to jump up and amplify her voice. In the end, she pushed Zhang Huan to Liang Yingying's side and promoted the couple's unity.
But how united could this couple be? Look, just such a small matter and he showed his true colors.
Zhang Yansheng understood very well why Zhang Huan was angry.
Zhang Huan wasn't an only child. Although he had a few independent companies under his name, the family's core industry was in the hands of his biological mother. Now, the score in his biological mother's heart was related to how much power the old lady was willing to give him. It was also related to how much he would get in the old lady's will in the future.
The fifteen-year-old Zhang Yansheng didn't think about this at all. But now, Zhang Yansheng had been in society and knew that money made the world go round. Looking at such a strong old lady, he really wanted to give her a thumbs up.
He looked up and glanced at Liang Yingying.
What was such a young Liang Yingying doing with her father, an old man? Wasn't it just for money?
It was ridiculous that he used to think of her as a mountain. She was just a light gold digger girl who didn't even dare to fart in front of Grandma Zhang Yansheng.
Now that Zhang Yansheng thought about what he had done in the past, he sighed that he had really … put the cart before the horse. He didn't know what was the most important thing.
The woman sitting in the front seat was now floating in her heart. Whatever illusion of a "mountain" was shattered with a loud bang.
Even her own father. She thought about how careful he was in front of her grandmother and how he flattered her. She couldn't help but smile coldly.
She turned her gaze and saw Zhang Heling next to her.
Zhang Heling was sitting in the middle of the back seat. His little face was pale from fright and he wanted to cry. But no one in the car cared about her.
She wasn't the first child and was carrying the surprise of being a father for the first time. She wasn't carrying a son and was carrying on the family line. She was stuck in the middle, and she was a girl. Furthermore, she had a mother who relied on her son to climb up the social ladder. She was destined to be a pitiful little girl who was ignored by everyone.
As if he felt her gaze, Zhang Heling suddenly turned to look at her. Her eyes seemed to be glistening with tears, but she bit her lip timidly, not daring to annoy the adults.
The two girls' gazes met.
Zhang Yansheng could clearly feel the anticipation in the little girl's gaze.
Zhang Yansheng found it strange. Back then, when the mother and children entered the house, she was so angry that she pushed Zhang Heling to the ground. Logically speaking, Zhang Heling should be afraid that she would hate her.
But ever since this little girl entered this house, she had always followed behind her and wanted to be her shadow.
In the beginning, she had yelled at her a few times. The little girl was just timid. Her little face was puffed up and her little mouth was flat. She looked like she was about to cry. Later on, Zhang Yansheng had no choice but to stop yelling at her. She just ignored her and treated her as if she didn't exist.
But she didn't expect that when she died, the one who cried the most was this little girl.
The anticipation in those big teary eyes was very stressful. Zhang Yansheng looked away.
Zhang Heling, on the other hand, carefully leaned in closer to her. Her little body leaned against Zhang Yansheng's arm.
Zhang Yansheng froze and turned her head to look out the window to escape.
Children's intuition was very sharp. Their hearts were not as complicated as the adults'. Most of the time, they just followed their intuition.
Although her sister's body was stiff, she didn't push her away. She also didn't impatiently glare at her fiercely to scare her. Compared to before, she was more than a hundred times gentler.
Zhang Heling's courage grew. She leaned her whole body against Zhang Yansheng and actually … leaned on Zhang Yansheng.
Zhang Yansheng froze for a moment. But she felt that the little body next to her was like a small animal. She could even smell the faint fragrance on her body. It was the smell of children's skin cream. It wasn't as fragrant as adult women's skin cream, but … it was relaxing and smelled good.
But her arm suddenly became wet.
…
Did the tears that were about to fall still fall down?
Zhang Yansheng looked at the night view outside the window and was silent for a moment. Then, she pulled a tissue and stuffed it over.
Zhang Heling picked up the tissue in surprise and looked at Zhang Yansheng. Her big sister was looking straight ahead without looking sideways.
Zhang Heling suddenly laughed. She wiped her tears and blew her nose.
Crying and laughing. Children are really annoying, Zhang Yansheng thought.
When they returned home, Zhang Huan's anger had not subsided.
"Lock up all his game consoles!" He ordered Liang Yingying. Then, he pointed at Zhang Shuocheng's nose and scolded, "You'd better stay home and study hard this summer! Look at your shitty grades from last semester! And you, stop shopping and playing mahjong all day. Look after your child's studies! You're the one who gave birth to the child, not the nanny! "
In the end, he scolded Liang Yingying.
Having lost face in front of her stepdaughter, Liang Yingying was resentful. But she relied on men to make a living. She knew when to act spoiled and when to behave with her tail between her legs. She obediently replied, "I know, I know. Let's go back to our room first."
Zhang Shuocheng hid behind Liang Yingying. This was the first time he had seen his biological father so angry. His biological mother didn't even open her arms to protect him, so he was terrified. Although he wasn't convinced, he didn't dare to say anything.
Zhang Yansheng had only been reborn for half a day, but she had already seen the couple who used to stand in front of her fall apart. It was very boring. She couldn't be bothered to look at them. She turned around and walked upstairs.
Zhang Heling saw her sister going upstairs and immediately followed her like a little tail. "Sister, wait for me."
The two sisters' bedrooms were on the second floor, next to each other.
Zhang Heling chased after Zhang Yansheng with large strides. In the end, she also caught up.
"Sister." Tonight, Zhang Yansheng's attitude was very different from before. Zhang Heling, who was small, took advantage of the opportunity to stick to her. "Sister, are you going to sleep now? Then, good night! "
Zhang Yansheng just happened to walk to her bedroom door and pushed it open.
She stopped and finally couldn't take it anymore. She turned around and glared at Zhang Heling.
Zhang Heling blinked her big dark eyes.
"Zhang Heling!" Zhang Yansheng asked with a sullen face, "Why are you following me all day?"
"Because …" Zhang Heling answered seriously, "I'm your sister?"
Zhang Yansheng: "…"
Zhang Yansheng crossed her arms and asked the little girl, "Do you remember what happened when you were young?"
Zhang Heling: "Ah?"
"Do you remember when you first came to my house?"
"Emm … I don't really remember …"
"Forget it." Zhang Yansheng turned around and was about to go back to her room.
It was rare for her sister to take the initiative to talk to her so calmly. Zhang Heling hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yansheng's skirt. "I remember, I remember!"
"Remember my ass, you were only four years old at that time!" Zhang Yansheng scolded.
Although the fifteen-year-old Zhang Yansheng often yelled at home, her imposing manner was far from the twenty-one-year-old Zhang Yansheng who had already mingled with the underworld. Zhang Yansheng's voice wasn't loud, but her imposing manner was much sharper than before.
Zhang Heling flinched.
Zhang Yansheng stared at her. Taking advantage of her height, she asked condescendingly, "Remember what?"
This was a difficult question to answer. His childhood memories were all scattered and fragmented. Zhang Heling was a little confused. She didn't know what Zhang Yansheng wanted to ask, so of course she couldn't answer.
Zhang Yansheng asked, "The first day you and your mother came here, I pushed you down. Do you remember this?"
Zhang Heling suddenly realized. "Oh! That, I remember! "
"You really remember?"
"Yes! It was in the living room on the first floor, right? My back hit the corner of the sofa. "
At that time, she was just a little girl, yet she could actually remember.
Zhang Yansheng said, "I thought you forgot. Since you remember, why do you keep chasing after me? Don't you hate me? Aren't you afraid of me? "
"I'm a little afraid …" The tender little girl scratched her face and looked up. "But, although sister's voice was very loud and a little scary, I remember very clearly that sister … you kept crying …"
The sister she met for the first time in her life had a very loud voice. It sounded very fierce and a little scary.
But her eyes kept crying and flowing.
Her mother was dead.
She had just died, but her own mother wanted to be someone else's mother. Zhang Heling felt that if she were in her mother's shoes, she would also be angry and sad.
She just couldn't bring herself to hate this fierce sister.
The little girl didn't have many thoughts. She just said what she thought.
Her big black eyes were clear and bright. Even the clearest spring in the world couldn't compare to this kind of clarity. This kind of clarity was called childlike innocence.
Zhang Yansheng stared at the little girl, reached out, and slammed the door shut.
