Chapter 11 Argument, Laughing in Anger
Chapter 11 Argument, Laughing in Anger
"Let's go inside and talk," said Uncle Chen Hongtao, the head of the family.
"Okay, let's go inside and talk."
Soon, everyone arrived in the living room and took their seats.
"Luo Wenjing, tell me, what are you doing here?" Zhang Qin asked Luo Wenjing.
Before Luo Wenjing could speak, Jiang Yong quickly said, "We've come here to take Zhang Zeyan back."
Hearing Jiang Yong's words, Zhang Qin thought of what Jiang Yong had done to Zhang Zeyan in the past, and she was immediately filled with anger.
"So you're taking him back so you can beat my nephew to death?"
"Zhang Qin, don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly hit him?"
"Do you even believe that yourself? If my husband hadn't stopped you, you would have hit him."
"That's because he was unfilial to his mother, that's why I..."
"Alright." Zhang Zeyan spoke at this moment.
He said to Jiang Yong, "I know why you came here. Isn't it because you saw me sing a song and make money, and you want to take the money back? If you came here specifically to see me, then thank you."
"If you've come here for money, then I can only say I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't have a single penny of that money; it all belongs to my aunt."
"What?" Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's words, Jiang Yong and Luo Wenjing both jumped to their feet.
Even Zhang Qin, the younger aunt, showed a look of surprise.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yong asked Zhang Zeyan with a grim expression.
"What do you mean? Although I sang the song, it was written by my aunt. I only sang it, so all the money was earned by my aunt. It's impossible for you to get money from me," Zhang Zeyan said calmly.
"Zeyan..." Zhang Qin was about to say something when Zhang Zeyan interrupted her.
"Auntie, all the money earned from that song is yours. I don't want a single penny. Please don't say anything more." Zhang Zeyan looked at Zhang Qin, and when no one was paying attention, he quickly winked at his aunt Zhang Qin.
Upon seeing Zhang Zeyan blink, Zhang Qin immediately fell silent.
"That song wasn't yours? Was it written by your aunt?" Jiang Yong asked Zhang Zeyan with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
"Of course it's not mine. I'm only 12 years old. Do you think a 12-year-old can write such a nice song? My aunt wrote the song and just asked me to sing it," Zhang Zeyan said calmly.
"But even if you're just singing, you're the one who made this song a hit, so she should still give you a share of the profits, right?" Jiang Yong said calmly.
"My aunt was originally going to give me some money, but I don't want it to end up in your hands, so I'm just not going to take it," Zhang Zeyan said to Jiang Yong with a hint of sarcasm.
"What do you mean? Do you think your mother and I would want your money?" Jiang Yong's face was very ugly.
"I know exactly who you are, don't try to act all high and mighty with me," Zhang Zeyan said calmly, pointing at Jiang Yong.
"What are you saying, you little bastard?" Jiang Yong was enraged when Zhang Zeyan pointed his finger at him and stood up to hit him.
"What are you doing?" Uncle Chen Hongtao immediately blocked Zhang Zeyan's path.
"His words are so infuriating."
"Zeyan is right. My wife wrote the song, and Zeyan only sang it. So we won't give you a single penny of the money earned from this song," Chen Hongtao said coldly to Jiang Yong.
He was a whole size bigger than Jiang Yong, and if they were to fight, Jiang Yong would have no chance against him.
"We'll talk about the money later. We're here today mainly to get Zhang Zeyan out of here," Jiang Yong said to Chen Hongtao calmly.
"No, Zeyan can't go with you." Before anyone else could speak, Zhang Qin was the first to stand up and express her opinion.
"You say no and that's it? Luo Wenjing is Zhang Zeyan's biological mother and guardian. We have the right to take Zhang Zeyan away from here," Jiang Yong retorted without any politeness.
"I will not go with you," Zhang Zeyan stepped forward and stated.
Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's statement, Luo Wenjing, who had been silent the whole time, stood up.
She looked at Zhang Zeyan with a sincere expression and said, "Zeyan, why don't you come with your mother? Your mother loves you very much. Go back with your mother. Your stepfather and I promised that we would never beat or scold you again."
Upon hearing Luo Wenjing's words, Zhang Zeyan was speechless.
"He just tried to hit me, why should I believe his promises?"
"Besides, back on Canglan Star, other kids could go to school at six, but they wouldn't let me go to school even at ten. Now that I'm famous, they come running over here saying they love me. You guys are really shameless!"
"I'm living comfortably with my aunt now. She's wealthy and willing to support my education, including university. Why should I go back to suffer with you instead of staying with my aunt?"
Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's words, Luo Wenjing opened her mouth as if to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Zhang Zeyan.
"Luo Wenjing, I'll call you Mom one last time. If you truly consider me your son, then don't talk about taking me away. I'll be better off living with my aunt. I don't want to suffer back with you."
Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's words, Luo Wenjing's face turned pale.
She came to pick up her son because she really missed him and wanted to take him over and love him dearly.
"Zhang Zeyan, how dare you talk to your mother like that..." Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's words, Jiang Yong immediately stepped forward to reprimand him.
"Shut up!" Uncle Chen Hongtao stepped forward and scolded Jiang Yong. "You have no right to speak here."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yong felt his dignity had been trampled on, and immediately glared at Chen Hongtao.
"What? You want to fight me?" Chen Hongtao said threateningly.
Upon hearing Chen Hongtao's threat and seeing Chen Hongtao's large size, Jiang Yong immediately cowered.
"Alright, go back to where you came from. I'm not going back with you." Zhang Zeyan waved his hand at Zhang Qin and Jiang Yong.
"You don't have to go back, but your money must be kept by your mother," Jiang Yong said quickly.
"I told you, I have no money!" Zhang Zeyan said coldly.
"If you don't have money, then you have to come back with us."
Jiang Yong finally understood. According to Zhang Zeyan, the song belonged to Zhang Qin, so it was almost impossible to get money from Zhang Qin.
Fortunately, after the song became popular, Zhang Zeyan, who sang it, also gained some fame and became a minor internet celebrity.
In other words, as long as you bring Zhang Zeyan back and film him every day to post online, you can make money.
Hearing Jiang Yong's words, Zhang Zeyan didn't even bother to talk to him anymore.
He said to his aunt Zhang Qin, "Aunt, I'm going to check on my younger brother and sister. You two can talk to them."
After saying that, he left the living room and went to a room on the second floor.
Inside the room, cousins Chen Junjie and Chen Shuyi were playing a virtual game.
Previously, the aunt and uncle had deliberately sent the two children away.
"Jun Jie, Shu Yi, I'll play games with you guys..."
