Chapter 171 Zi Family Chaos

Chapter 171 Zi Family Turmoil

A crowd followed Zi Yisheng, all chattering about what meat dishes they would get to eat later. Some even quietly asked Ouyang if they could order dishes.

Seeing her handsome elder brother approaching, Zi Wenwen suddenly felt she had found a pillar of support. Although she was not favored, he was her blood relative. He would surely pity and help her when she was hurt.

"Big Brother."

As soon as Zi Wenwen spoke, tears welled up, her entire body overwhelmed with grievance. The noisy scene fell silent at that moment.

"Heh heh, Zi Wenwen, don't call out so casually. My mother only gave birth to me, her only child. You are just a bastard born to Zi Guorong's mistress, registered under my mother's name. But I hope you can let the deceased rest in peace and stop disgusting her."

Zi Yisheng knew that Zi Guorong was currently swamped with scandalous news that had suddenly broken. Zi Guorong kept a mistress outside, and after giving birth to a bastard, he forced his wife to register the child under her name, which led to her premature death due to depression. Therefore, Zi Yisheng took the opportunity to publicize this in Qi City.

"What, the eldest Miss Zi is actually a bastard?"

"Yes, would Leader Zi lie about this?"

"This is too humiliating! To be forced to raise a bastard under her name, it's no wonder Madam Zi died so young."

"Yes, yes, what woman could endure this?"

The pointing fingers and the earth-shattering news almost made Zi Wenwen faint. Her body swayed precariously.

"Moreover, if I were you, I wouldn't show myself in public. After all, after being defiled by three men, how could you still have the face to come out? However, your biological mother is about to enter the Zi family. She should be able to cover your shame."

Zi Yisheng glanced at the two people following Zi Wenwen, who were also stunned into helplessness.

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and take your young lady back to Mingcheng, back to the Zi family. After all, how can she miss her biological mother's big day?

Also, no detours on the way. If I find out, you can think about the consequences."

"Yes, yes, yes, Leader Zi, we will definitely deliver the young lady home safely and absolutely no further accidents will occur."

Zi Wenwen, who had been silent all along, was covered in tears. She looked at Zi Yisheng with eyes full of accusation.

"Is this why you never paid attention to me? But I never harmed Madam."

"Heh heh, yes. To accommodate a slut, I had to stay at home pretending to be pregnant for a year. Anyone would be suppressed to death. Although my mother's death was not directly caused by you, she lost her life because of your mother and your birth. Therefore, you and your mother should atone."

"But I knew nothing. I've missed Madam as my mother all these years."

"So you must atone with your mother. After all, being missed by someone disgusting is a disgrace, and it will not let my mother rest in peace underground."

Zi Yisheng was losing patience, and he had said what he needed to say. There were many influential people in the government compound, and soon the Zi family's scandal would spread nationwide.

"Aren't you going to take her away? Do you think I'm not disgusted enough?"

Zi Wenwen was dragged away. It was the first time Ouyang had seen young master Zi speak so much, perhaps because he had been suppressed for too long.

Zi Yisheng, still with a smile, turned to the colleagues behind him and said,

"Everyone, let's go eat. Today is a happy occasion, so order whatever you like."

"Leader Zi, don't take it to heart. Evil will eventually be punished."

"Yes, Leader Zi's mother can also rest in peace. Anyway, that pair of mother and daughter will surely have a difficult time from now on."

"........"

Zi Yisheng didn't take it to heart at all. The revenge against Zi Guorong and the Zi family officially began today. He hoped they could withstand it. Everything they had taken from his maternal family, they would have to spit out.

Meanwhile, in Mingcheng, at the Zi family, the patriarch, old Mr. Zi, felt a surge of anger looking at the crowded family members in the living room. Especially the woman sitting next to his eldest son made his face darken further and further.

"What right do you have to sit here?"

Liu Mei'er's initial joy was replaced by nervousness, especially under the murderous gazes of the Zi family members, which made her feel as if her flesh was being cut off piece by piece.

Zi Guorong had no intention of paying attention to his woman at this moment. If he wanted Liu Mei'er to enter the Zi family, he would have acted long ago. Even the woman he loved could not delay his career and his status in the Zi family.

"Dad, this is my fault. Let's quickly find a way to suppress this matter, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to climb higher in the future."

"Oh, listen to what the eldest uncle is saying. The news of him keeping a mistress outside is already flying everywhere. How can we suppress it? Who can suppress it?"

The second son's wife spoke up. The eldest sister-in-law used to be such a bright and charming woman, with a good family background. How could she have been replaced by someone so mediocre? She was too weak. If it were in her hands, she would have dealt with this slut long ago.

Second Master Zi glared at his wife. Now was not the time to say too much. Such a big issue should be avoided if possible.

"Bang."

A loud noise silenced the Zi family's living room. Old Mr. Zi, with his cane, directly cracked the wooden coffee table.

Old Mr. Zi glared at his eldest son, the son he had placed great hopes on, the most promising among his sons. It wasn't because of his exceptional abilities, but because of his good fortune. Marrying a young lady from a prestigious family had helped the Zi family establish a firm footing in the upper circles. Now, because he had an outstanding son who had reached the third position nationwide at such a young age, this was the glory of the Zi family. Who dared to say that the Zi family had humble origins?

Zi Guorong lowered his head. This was the first time in his life he had fallen so hard. Both within the Zi family and outside, he was the one who received flattery.

"Eldest son, how are you going to resolve this? Are you going to let a woman like this, who sells herself, ruin the Zi family's years of effort?"

Liu Mei'er's face was pale. She was clearly from a respectable family, yet now she was being insulted like this because of a man. After years of living incognito, she was now being verbally abused.

Liu Mei'er looked at the man beside her, but the man who should have stood up to protect her didn't even dare to fart. Liu Mei'er's heart turned cold. Even if she had been pampered for all these years, what was the point? She couldn't raise her own child by her side, and she couldn't get pregnant again. She waited for the man to return home every day, suffering silently.

"Dad, the matter has already happened. And everyone already knew when Wenwen was conceived. Why are you blaming me now? Shouldn't we be thinking of a solution?"

"Easy for you to say. This matter was caused by Eldest Brother, yet now you want everyone to bear the humiliation with you. I don't even know how I'll go to work tomorrow. And you're asking us to find a solution? If you're so capable, why don't you ask your formidable son for help?"

The third son spoke up. In the Zi family, good things never came to the third branch, but when something went wrong, they had to bear it together. Why?

"Exactly. I don't even dare to go out now. Our children still have to go to school every day. They will be teased by their classmates, how painful that will be." The third son's wife also chimed in.
