C436 Zhang Haoran's Appearance
C436 Zhang Haoran's Appearance
Zhang Haorann's appearance caused a mocking expression to appear on the surrounding crowd.
"They're even prepared to say that Zhang Pengde has become the Patriarch of Zhang Family, and will curry favor with Zhang Haorann in the future."
"In the name of the Zhang Family traitor that Zhang Pengde carried twenty years ago, there was news that Zhang Penglan was behind all this. The goal was to take this opportunity to chase Zhang Pengde away, so that he would never return to the Zhang Family.
"The old man's birthday feast was really unpleasant. If you have to blame something, you can only blame the old man for looking at people like Zhang Pengde. Is he really that kind of person?"
"As expected of Zhang Penglan. With just a few moves of his wrist, he managed to remove Zhang Pengde's threat."
More and more people from Zhang Family chose Zhang Penglan's side.
"Sister Xue, you heard the sounds of these discussions too." Fang Shen whispered. It's fine if Zhang Pengde can't do it, but why did this Zhang Haorann also popped out? "
"They're all saying that Zhang Xianhu intentionally put the credit of curing a serious illness on Zhang Haorann. Look at Zhang Pengde, he already has no chance to turn the tables. If Zhang Haorann stands out now, it will only add more trouble to Zhang Pengde." Fang Yu also said.
"Sister Xue, should we change our stand and support Zhang Penglan?" Fang Xiaoqiao asked in a low voice, "After this birthday banquet is over, not only will everyone say that Zhang Pengde and Zhang Xianhu are bad, they will even say that we are the same. Sister Xue is the family head of the Fang family, it is meaningless to bear this kind of burden."
Faang Yingxue raised her hand and Fang Shen and the other two were stunned. What did Sister Xue mean? Was she going to change her mind and support Zhang Penglan?
Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoqiao was the happiest. She was the one who suggested to Sister Xue that she change her position.
"I understand what you mean." Faang Yingxue changed the topic of the conversation and said, "I've said it before, no matter what, the Fang family will support Zhang Pengde."
Faang Yingxue stood up abruptly.
"No matter how much trouble Zhang Xianhu and Zhang Pengde encounter today, our Fang family will always support them." Faang Yingxue's voice baffled the crowd. Even Fang Shen and the other two were baffled and could not understand what Sister Xue was up to.
Zhang Xianhu and Zhang Pengde father and son encountered a calamity, Sister Xue is forcefully extending their lives for them!
No one understood that since Zhang Pengde had no power, and Zhang Xianhu had lost his authority in Zhang Family, Faang Yingxue could make an unexpected decision at this moment. She could pretend that nothing had happened, and at the end of the birthday banquet, she went and flattered Cheng Zhi.
"If Faang Yingxue hadn't stood up, Zhang Haorann would have been finished by now!" Hou Qingjia said in a low voice.
Yuv Huan's family all nodded.
That's right, Zhang Haorann was too lucky. At this time, the Fang family's people would help.
"Even if Faang Yingxue stands out, it will be useless. Don't forget, not only is the Fang family facing pressure from public opinion, but also the joint scheme of Zhang Penglan and Cheng Zhi." Yuv Huan sighed.
"I don't understand. Why is the Fang family always supporting Zhang Pengde and Zhang Xianhu like this?" Yuv Jin pondered. "Could it be because of Zhang Haorann?"
You and You Mu swept their eyes over Yuv Jin. My sister must have a screw loose, how could she say such nonsense. What is Zhang Haorann? He's at most a Zhang Family person.
Hou Qingjia laughed strangely and said, "Yuv Jin, I know you admire Zhang Haorann. I don't blame you." To be honest, I admire him myself, but so what? "This is fate. If you have to blame something, you can only blame your bad luck on Wu Tie's misfortune. Of course, looking at this situation now, it seems like Wu Tie is going to bury himself as well."
Faang Yingxue stepped forward, but Zhang Xianhu and Zhang Pengde didn't feel any less depressed. They both smiled bitterly at Faang Yingxue's help.
Zhang Xianhu said dejectedly to Zhang Pengde, "Originally, I wanted to let you gain everyone's recognition at this time, but my efforts ended in failure. Not only did I fail to help you, I also brought you and Haoran in, causing you two to feel wronged."
"Now, the Fang family has also miscalculated because of me."
Zhang Xianhu sighed.
"Grandfather, let's talk first. I don't feel wronged at all." Zhang Haorann smiled, "Dad can get your understanding. I think he will be satisfied."
"Is that so?" Zhang Xianhu said nervously.
"Haoran, why did you come here? Go back quickly!" At this time, he couldn't drag Zhang Haorann into the hatred of Zhang Family. Zhang Haorann was young, so there was no need to endure all of this.
"Dad, leave it to me." Zhang Haorann shook his head, his tone was determined like never before.
Zhang Pengde was startled. Twenty years ago, when he faced the ridicule from the west, he carried the reputation of a Zhang Family traitor and left. Twenty years ago, on this day, Zhang Haorann had done something that he had never done before.
Zhang Haorann looked around with a playful smile on his face.
"From now on, anyone willing to stand by the old man's side can raise their hands and admit it. Speaking of which, let's see if you want to become a Zhang Family hero for a second, or if you want to follow Zhang Penglan and be a Zhang Family dog or a coward for your entire life.
When Zhang Haorann said this, it was no different from exposing the potential contradictions in the Zhang Family.
The Zhang Family, was truly splitting apart.
However, the people from Zhang Family were not happy with Zhang Haorann's words.
"What big words you have there!"
"Do you really think that Zhang Xianhu can push the credit of recovering from a serious illness onto Zhang Haorann, allowing him to show off freely and arrogantly?"
"Frankly speaking, he's still too young!"
"Right, he's young and arrogant, this Zhang Haorann is the one who slapped the face to make it look like a fatty."
"Zhang Pengde and Zhang Xianhu are both in despair. Zhang Haorann still wants to stand out and show off, and rub salt into his father's and grandfather's wounds. Hehe, as a person of Zhang Family, I feel ashamed."
The tone of the people from Zhang Family became worse and worse as they ridiculed Zhang Haorann's family incessantly.
Zhang Haorann only watched coldly from the side.
At this moment, someone raised his hand.
It was Zhang Yilin!
"Zhang Pengpei's son raised his hand."
"Zhang Yuhua's daughter, Zhang Xia, also raised her hand!"
"There's also Zhang Rui!"
"Zhang Haorann's brother, Zhang Haigang also raised his hand!"
The people from Zhang Family exclaimed, these people are crazy, isn't raising his hand to admit his loss just like that, just like throwing himself into a pit of fire?
Zhang Haorann nodded and Zhang Haigang and the rest lowered their hands.
"Alright, I already know who is on the old man's side in Zhang Family."
Zhang Haorann didn't panic at all and turned around to look at everyone in the mansion.
"Amongst the guests that have come to visit, please tell us who is on the old tutor's side. I can assure everyone that your choice will benefit you for the rest of your lives."
Zhang Haorann said lightly.
Benefits for life? Some people laughed. Who do you think you are?
Brother Zhuang and others, who were talking to Zhang Pengde earlier, looked at Zhang Haorann in disdain.
His personality was too hypocritical, so no one made a sound.
At this moment, someone in the crowd raised their hand.
It was Xu Qing.
Then, Xu Tiehlin and Lee Feng raised their hands without any hesitation.
When Hou Qingjia saw this scene, his lungs almost burst out of anger. He had thought that Zhang Haorann would only embarrass himself and dig a hole for himself to jump into. Xu Qing's family would choose to abandon Zhang Haorann.
This was Xu Qing's weakest moment, and it was also Hou Qingjia's best chance to chase after her.
But now, Xu Qing's family was the first among all of the guests to lift their hands in greeting.
What made Hou Qingjia even more surprised was that Faang Yingxue had raised her hand as well, then it was followed by Fang Xiaoqiao. Fang Shen and Fang Yu raised their hands unhappily.
No one raised their hands again, everyone stood on Zhang Penglan's side.
Zhang Haorann lightly said: "I already know in my heart who is supporting the old gramps, I will fulfill my promise and give these people an explanation, and at the same time, those people who add insult to injury, regardless of Zhang Family people or birthday feast guests, are no longer welcome with me."
Afterwards, Zhang Haorann turned to Zhang Xianhu and said:
"Grandfather, if we leave this Zhang Family, we'll establish our own sect."
Zhang Xianhu nodded.
Zhang Pengde's eyes lit up. Self-established sect? Yeah, why didn't I think of it? Rather than competing with Zhang Penglan, it would be better to leave the Zhang Family and walk my own path.
"To establish their own sect? "Zhang Haorann, Zhang Haorann, you really are young and vigorous. There are too many shortcomings." Zhang Penglan shook his head and smiled, "Do you know how difficult it is to establish your own sect? Do you know how hard it is to start from scratch? Do you know the business circles in Beijing don't like you? Do you even have a place to stay? Oh, I understand now. You and that traitor's father of yours must be returning to the Xihu Province to start your own business, right?
"We all know that there's Xu Rongsheng in Xihu Province and their relationship is very good with Master Zhang. How about this, I will shamelessly try to please Xu Rongsheng and give you a chance to recover?"
Zhang Penglan's words were full of provocation, making Zhang Pengde's family completely useless. Even Zhang Xianhu, Zhang Penglan, no longer cared about Zhang Xianhu.
The surrounding people couldn't help but to smile when they heard Zhang Penglan's words. The idea of Zhang Haorann establishing his own sect was indeed laughable.
"You disappoint me." Zhang Xianhu said in grief. He didn't expect Zhang Penglan to say such words at this time.
"It's all because of you." Zhang Penglan said lightly.
Zhang Xianhu trembled in anger and wanted to continue to say that he was stopped by Zhang Haorann.
Zhang Haorann let him calm down, there was no need to argue with Zhang Penglan.
At this time, someone reported loudly in a Zhang Family Main House.
"Xihu Province, Xu Rongsheng has arrived!"
This sound caused the expressions of everyone in the Zhang Family Palace to change.
Xu Rongsheng was the master of one of the Wealthy Classes in the Xihu Province. He was extremely rich, and even in front of Xu Rongsheng, his Zhang Family couldn't be compared to Xu Rongsheng's.
Xu Rongsheng's position in the Xihu Province was truly one of an overlord.
Needless to say, behind Xu Rongsheng was the famous Master Zhang.
What people of Zhang Family envied was that Xu Rongsheng was able to rely on Master Zhang's might.
Xu Rongsheng was at Xihu Province, and it had nothing to do with Zhang Family at all. How could he come uninvited at this time to visit Zhang Family's birthday banquet?
"If Xu Rongsheng wants to develop his business in Yan Jing, he must want to curry favor with me. Since he came for me, if I treat him well, it will only help me in controlling my Zhang Family."
Zhang Penglan hurriedly walked over.
At the door of the mansion, Xu Rongsheng and Mo entered.
