Chapter 614 Zhang Family Affairs (2)

  For Zhang Dan Shui, their so called friendship was worthless.

Looking to the street through the window, Zhang Dan Shui could see the lively familiar street. The corner of his lips curled up to form a faint smile filled with mockery.

In the past, this liveliness would never be associated with him.

And now, a lot of people were trying their best to be on his good look.

’People are surprisingly very materialistic.’

The truth of human nature was very clear in this regard. Zhang Dan Shui would not judge them either. He knew very well that he himself was the same in regards that he would try to curry favor with the strong and powerful.

When he was weak and had nothing but potential, he was desperate to survive. He was trying his best to find someone who could protect him and brought out his real potential.

Living like a dog every single day back then was nothing more than an act to protect himself. If he showed his fang and threaten his father or half brother’s position, they would not hesitate to kill and destroy him.

For his father, he was a worthless son.

For his half brother, he was a half brother who could be trampled on will.

His very existence was nothing more than a stepping tool for them to show the world just how ‘powerful’ they were.

”Zhang Family is still nothing more than a small official.” Zhang Dan Shui laughed unkindly, recalling the report that Dark Moon Organization handed to him not long ago.

Before he went to Heng Xing City, his father was someone whom he couldn’t touch at all. But now, it was no longer something that was impossible.

His father is smart?

If he was truly smart, he wouldn’t have ended up as a small official after more than two decades serving as an official in the palace.

Zhang Dan Shui felt that he was lucky.

Lucky to be able to meet with the person who could protect him and allowed him to grow to be who he is right now.

There was no lack of talented people in the world.

But would every talented people end up being successful?

The answer would be a big no.

There were countless paths that they could tread on and their choices would eventually shape their future. Many of them wouldn’t be able to realize their true potential and ended up halfway because of various reasons.

Zhang Dan Shui knew that being a governor was the best result for him.

And he would do whatever necessary to make sure that he could hold onto this position and continued to grow stronger.

He’s not an ungrateful person.

He knew who he actually worked for aside from serving Fei Yang Kingdom.

”The victory celebration will be very interesting.” Zhang Dan Shui walked away from the window and sat on the chair. He leaned back and closed his eyes, resting.

There would be many things that happened tomorrow, so Zhang Dan Shui wanted to make sure that he would be prepared to face everything. It was unfortunate that it was not the time to sleep yet and there was still another dinner later.

But what Zhang Dan Shui didn’t expect was that there were a lot of people from Zhang Dan Shui who were also paying attention to his whereabouts. Even though Zhang Family couldn’t be called as the most powerful family in the Capital City, they still have their influences.

And not only Zhang Family, some other families were also watching quietly. They were pleasantly surprised when they saw that he was not staying in Zhang Family Residence but instead booked a room in a rather ordinary inn.

Was he posturing?

Or was there any other reason?

Rumors began to spread and it was not something Zhang Family would be able to take. War had just ended, but they were already pushed into the eye of the storm, becoming the center of attention so quickly.

>Zhang Family Residence<

Prang!

The head of Zhang Family smashed the porcelain beside him. “What an unfilial son! Did he not know he’s not supposed to stay outside at this point of time? What is he thinking?”

”Master, please don’t be so angry.” The servants were all terrified.

”How can I not be angry at such unfilial child?” Zhang Family Head wanted to smash more things. Zhang Dan Shui is his son and it was also true that he didn’t care for that concubine born son before. But now that Zhang Dan Shui had achieved so big, he didn’t even want to interact with them?

He would never let it happen!

”Go and persuade that unfilial child! He had to return before night or I’ll let him know the consequences!” Zhang Family Head was so angry that he flared up.

”Yes, Master.” The servants hurriedly scrambled away in order to invite Zhang Dan Shui back into Zhang Family Residence.

If they fail, they would be the one punished heavily.

Not far from him, Zhang Dan Shang was not feeling very good. He was the second son and also Zhang Dan Shui’s younger brother. But because he was born from the main wife, his position was naturally higher than his older brother.

He had a smooth sailing prospect in the past. After all, his father’s position was stable and there were not many people who dared to offend him and would rather not get into trouble. Right now, his ranking was somewhat in the middle, not really attracting attention but still better than his peers.

Zhang Dan Shang has always been the proud person. Among his friends, he indeed had the best result, but there were actually many other better officials than him. It was just that he was not close to them because they didn’t want to be associated with him.

Hearing that Zhang Dan Shui was successful now made Zhang Dan Shang felt very uncomfortable.

Very uncomfortable at that.

Zhang Dan Shang listened to his father giving order and frowned.

”Young Master…”

”Let’s go.”

Zhang Dan Shang turned around, not wanting to stay in the main room anymore. Any topic regarding his step brother made him felt nauseated.
