Chapter 832: Do You Like Yuri?
Ma Huifang blamed Zhang Jiren for his malice, feeling utterly heartbroken. But after listening to her son’s confessions, she couldn’t blame him anymore. Her son living in such an environment was entirely her fault as his mother. If only she had more ability, her son’s heart wouldn’t have turned so evil. She was too concerned with many things, so even at the point of death, she dared not die, only managing to scrape by in life.What she never imagined was that her son, without her noticing, had turned so terrifying.
This was also her fault as a mother for not discovering this in time, and she blamed herself again for her incompetence.
Seeing her son clutching at her legs and crying his heart out, Ma Huifang, no matter the grievances she had, couldn’t blame her son anymore. She knelt on the ground, wiping the tears from her son’s face, and sobbed, "My dear son, it’s all mother’s fault for not having abilities. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have turned out like this."
"Mom, as long as you accept me, I’d be willing to die." Zhang Jiren cried bitterly, looking at his mother with tear-filled eyes.
"I accept, you’re always mother’s good son. How could I not accept you?" Ma Huifang wept and held her son tightly.
"Mom..." Zhang Jiren called out amid sobs, holding Ma Huifang tightly as well.
The mother and son held each other, both crying more bitterly than the other.
Ma Huifang seemed to want to cry out all the grievances and humiliations of these past decades, overwhelmed with sorrow.
"My dear son, Zhang Wushan is a scoundrel, Zhang Furen is a beast. Even if you hate them, you can’t turn yourself into a monster. Why sacrifice your bright side for revenge against scum? It’s not worth it, not worth it." Ma Huifang was filled with remorse.
"Mom, don’t worry, I’m mature and rational. I’ve avenged my great grievance and have no hatred left. My heart remains bright and kind, I won’t turn into a bad person." Zhang Jiren vowed confidently, then swore, "If I’m lying even half a word, may I be struck by lightning, never to be reborn..."
"Stop, stop, I believe you." Ma Huifang hurriedly stopped him, hearing he was about to make more vicious oaths.
She prayed in her heart, "Let all the sins fall on me, this mother. Even if I descend to hell, may my son not bear such a heavy burden at his age. All the sins are my responsibility."
The mother and son nearly cried all their tears dry. After the sobs subsided, Ma Huifang worriedly said, "Chu Group, not caring about reputation, and President Chu using his reputation to hand over the Zhang Family enterprise to Zhang Furen, there must be an inside story. Regardless of the reasons, it’s clear Chu Group favored Zhang Furen. Now that Zhang Furen is dead, this enmity naturally falls on our shoulders. If Chu Group shows any ill intent, we’d be crushed in an instant."
As she spoke, Ma Huifang had already made a decision, saying, "So, we should surrender. I’ll take all the responsibility. Whatever happens, you shouldn’t worry about it. The Zhang Family enterprise needs a man to hold it together, from now on, it’ll rely on you. Also, regarding your grandfather, you need to fulfill my duties of filial piety. The debt this daughter brought upon, you must help mother repay."
"No, I’m a man. How can I let my innocent mother bear all the sins for me? No, absolutely not. If I let mother plead guilty for me, would I still be human? I’d be worse than a beast." Zhang Jiren said firmly.
"If you still recognize me as your mother, listen to me this once." Ma Huifang said sternly, with a serious face.
"No, I can listen to you about anything but this." Zhang Jiren was adamant.
Ma Huifang called loudly outside the door, "Butler, watch my son. Until I return, don’t let him step out of the room."
She left resolutely, fearing she might never return again.
"Yes, madam." The butler, having been waiting outside for who knows how long, entered upon hearing Ma Huifang, showing her respect for the first time.
Even for his own sake, the butler couldn’t let Zhang Jiren come to harm. If the Zhang Family enterprise fell, he’d be finished too. So, to preserve the Zhang Family enterprise and his own future, Zhang Jiren had to remain safe.
"Second young master, madam is absolutely right. This is the only feasible way now. Perhaps Chu Group is magnanimous and won’t hold our mistakes against us." The butler advised, although he didn’t believe his own words.
Ma Huifang pushed Zhang Jiren away to leave. No matter how much Zhang Jiren shouted and begged, Ma Huifang ignored him. With the butler’s help, Zhang Jiren was locked in the room, and Ma Huifang walked away determinedly, with Zhang Jiren’s hysterical cries echoing behind her as the door was pounded explosively.
"If I admit everything is my doing and then kill myself in front of Chu Group, begging them to spare my son, perhaps my son can safely pass this ordeal." Ma Huifang thought to herself.
......
In a suite at the Galaxy Hotel, the Song Family patriarch, Song Tianba, sat calmly, his face showing anger as he reprimanded his daughter, Song Meimei, standing before him.
"I’ve been searching for you for ages, only to find you hiding in President Chu’s room. Don’t you know that Chu Group in front of the other big shots is just a nouveau riche now? Chu Group’s rapid rise has indeed reached or even surpassed the wealth and status of several big shots, but it’s all on shaky ground. Being too involved with Chu Group now, aren’t you dragging our Song Family into ruin?" Song Tianba exclaimed, nearly spitting with rage, fearing that soon enough everyone would know of his daughter’s whimsy, causing endless public criticism for the Song Family.
"Dad, our Song Family is the second richest in Huaxia. What do we have to fear?" Song Meimei cautiously replied, watching Song Tianba’s facial expression to gauge what to say and what not to say.
"How can you be so arrogant and ignorant? Are you still my daughter, Song Tianba? Don’t you know humility is a virtue?" Song Tianba lectured and then shouted, "Tell me, how did you get associated with Chu Group? What were you doing there?"
"As for our relationship, it’s quite deep. As for what I was doing, naturally, I was finding you a son-in-law?" Song Meimei casually replied.
"Finding me a son-in-law?" Song Tianba heard this and immediately roared in anger, "Nonsense, pure nonsense. Of the eight people with President Chu, almost all are women. Do you like women?"
